Ex-Congressman Breckenridge, Of

Just given an exceptionally heavy

what the South may be expected to do

the majority had been little Zig ghter
and the platform adopted at the State
convention a little better. Too much
was conceded the populists on the
financial question. Better to have had
sound monetary plank than to have
gained few thousand superaaous
votes. With the revival of business
prosperity that is now already begun
there cannot be much fear of continued
democratic ascendancy. feel that>we
shall control the next House." Of the
tbreatend secession of sugar planters
from the democratic party, Mr. Breck-
iuridge said: '.It is natural for the
Louisiana sugar growers to stand by
their chief product; they have always
done so. But | do not see what they
have to gain by boiling their party
affiliations. It will do them more hurt
than it will the democracy. For every
vote lost by such a desertion six would
be gained. On longer reflection. it is
doubtful if they will go over to the
political party which they have battled
against all their lives.

The September number Of 'sTales from
Town Topics" leads off with decidedly
s,rong, if somewhat racy, novelette,, entitled
ssThat Dreadful Woman" The adjective is
evidently used in satirica' sense, as the he
woman" so far from being dreadful
character, proves herself something little
short of saint before the story is done.
The character is one that would, perhaps,
be hard to find in real life, but the story that
is told of 8 good woman's eodeavor and
failure to overcome the resultant effects OF
doubtful past, and of the sublimity Of the
sacrifice she makes for her lover, ls as
fascinating as it is true. The usual collection
of bright stories, sketches, poems and
witticisms serves to render the September
number of ''Tales'' a particularly tempting
one. Town Topics Publishing Co., 20s Fifth

Costly Mistakes Of Congress.
From Harper's Weekly.

The Wilson bill, as reported to the
Senate by the Finance Committee last
February. contained about $4,000
words. Il made a volume of more
than 200 Of the large pages customary
in Congressional bills. printed iu large
type with ample spacings and margins.
By the time the Senate got through
amending it, it was great deal longer.
The Mckinley bill, as it came from the
House Of Representatives. was only
si1ty-seven pages long, but the amend
ments to it made in the Senate Com
mittee on Finance filled 1862 pages,
and amounted to 100000 words. Next
to the Mckinley bill in length, in the
record of the engrossing clerks Of Con-
gress was the interstate commerce
law, which contained 5000 words. 1t
is physical impossibility in copying SO
many words to avoid making errors.
The fact that laws are now printed on
parchment instead Of being engrossed
with the pen makes the liability Of
accident in copying little less.
Proof-reading is easier on the printed.
page. But where every comma has an
exaggerated value (aud comma ir a
tariff act may be worth million dollars
or more to the goverument). it vas to
be expected that costly errors would
6ll the new law. Twenty-Five or thirty
have already beeu discovered, aud more
will undoubtedly appear.
The costly errors made iu the past
have not all been attributable to the
engrossing clerks either. Where SO
many subjects are handled (there are
$50 in tt Wilson bill, as we'll as more
than 100 paragraphs relating to the
administration of the law something
must be neglected The Treasury
Department officials who examined the
Wilson bill for the Senate Committee
discovered over 400 errors in it. 1t
has been found, now that the bill has
become a law that some errors Of con-
sequence escaped even the vigilance of
the Treasury experts.

The True Issue.
From Harper's Weekly.

Among the many public utterances
of President Cleveland none has been
more characteristic than his recent letter
to Mr.. Ca,chings, in which he gives his
reasons for permitting the so-called
German tariff bill to become a Law
without his signature. and in that letter
there is no sentence more pregnant with
weighty meaning than this: 1.-The
trusts and combinations-the commun-
ism of pelf-whose Vaccinations have
prevented us from reaching the success
we deserved, should not be forgotten
nor forgiven. We shall recover from
our astopisbneut at their exhibition Of
power, and if then the question is
forced upon US whether they shall sub
NIT to the free legislative will of the
peoples representatives or shall dictate
the laws which the people must obey,
we will accept aud settle that issue as
one involving the integrity and safety
Of American institutions" 10 this
sentence Mr.. Cleveland has touched a
phase of the protective tariff question
which the American people have been
only too much inclined to overlook, but
which has been set forth in glorious
light by the recent occurrences in the
Senate.
We have seen in the Congress of the
United States members Of the party,
pot in power for the very purpose OF
reforming the tariff. stand up for pro-
tected manufacturing interests, and use
in their behalf the identical arguments
with which the Republican protection
lists had been in the habit of defending
the priciple Of protection. Those rene,
gades we're so shameless in their zeal
for those protected interests as to throw
overheard the whole theory upon which
the party to which they pretended to
belong had made the fight against the
protective policy, thus virtually brand
ing that fight as wicked attempt to
iujure the public welfare; for If the
arguments used in behalf of the pro-
