THE OLD SOUTH AND THE NEW
SOUTH.

The Louisville Commercial took the
trouble to send representative up to
Columbus, Ohio, to get Governor Nc
Kinley's views on the tariff question
as affecting the South. In response
the governor treated the subject wise
ly, as he does ell matters to which he
gives his attention. "The Wilson bili''
declared Major Mckinley, els the as
sertion Of the policy OF the old South,
and an utter disregard of the whole
policy Of new South with it's new con
ditiOns. It is returning to what Blu
chanau left US. I don't believe any
Southerner wants to go back to that,
that answered 80 years ago will not
serve now, and just SO the legislation
of 80 years ago does not meet the re-
quirements of the South to-day But
this is not sectional question; it is
not q question Of North and South. It
is a question of patriotism and ques-
ton of enlightened self interest, of
national and individual prosperity.
The South needs protection Just as the
North needs il, and it is even more i'm
portant to the South just now than
any other section, because of the nat
ural conditions existing there It's
natural resources are just beginning
to develop, and need the encourage
ment of the same protective system
that stimulated the growth of our
northern and eastern states" Gov
ernor Mckinley concluded by saying:
ssI am intensely interested in the at
titude on this question of the men of
the new South. They have power to
stop this legislation, which is unfriend-
ly to their section. l sincerely hope
they will do it, for there own sake and
that of the whole country"

4 EUROPEAN WAR CLOUD.

Arthur j. Balfour, the UniOnist lead
'er in the English house of commons,
in an address delivered at Manchester,
England, on the 22d, discussed at
length the subject Of imperial defence.
Tnau su,1,;;ect he declared to be of par
amount Importance, as any nation Of
Combination of nations which was
able to wrest from Great Britain her
supremacy on the seas, could bring
her to her knees without landing a
single soldier on English soil, which
means that hostile navy sufficiently
strong to seriously menace her vast
mmercial interests on the ocean
could compel her TO make almost any
terms that might be named. Mr.. Bal
four's warnings were chiefly directed
toward France and Russia, whose
main arrangements, he said, were ev
identity prompted by the assumption
that a conflict between those coun-
tries and England was, sooner or lat
err, inevitable. To meet this attitude
Of hostile nations he appealed to the
tives in parliament TO assist in quickly
and efficiently strengthening Eng
lands defences, especially her naval
power.
These views, coming from the lead
er Of one of the great parties Of Eng
land, have a peculiar sig 1ificance,
which is the more marked from the
pledge with which it was accompa-
MED, that the opposition would CO.
operate with the necessary increase
in vessels and coast defences. The
uneasy feeling thus voiced by the
great leader, has been noted for some
time by careful observers of European
politics.; but that there is real occa-
sion for fearing war has been believ-
ed by few. His call for immediate
ties are really eminent, and the echo
will doubtless soon be heard from
France and Russia. 1t is to be regret
ted that there is even prospect for
a great European conflict, and that
immense sums of money must be
cpOAU Od IuCI OdSCO dIuduOLCS WlUQ
corresponding heavier burdens upon
the people Of countries involved.
But perhaps the proposed enlarge
ment Of the English navy will be the
best possible preventive of war.
In the House the other day, Con-
gresham circuit read a letter from
Vermont farmer protesting against
making wool free and predicting that
there wouldn't be so much as grease
spot left Of the Democratic party if it
did so. A Democratic representative
brought out considerable applause
from it's party associates by replying
that If this was true the Republicans
ought to vote for free wool and thus
bring their opponents to destruction.
He failed to observe that the Repub-
licans We're elected to protect Ameri-
can interests and not to injure them.
To vote for free wool would make Re-
publicans equally responsible with
Democrats for the consequences. If
the former considered political advan-
tage, merely, it might be policy to let
the Democratic party commit suicide
without a protest, but to assist in the
taking off would not be excusable
when the welfare of thousands of our
farmers is at stake.

WASH7WGrPON LETTER.

Washsn gto7,, Jan. %, 1894
The democratic 1skickers'' have one
more week in which to try to amend
the Cleveland tariff bill, and it will in
clude the sugar, iron and coal clauses,
to say nothing of the income tax,
which they will try to attach to the
tariff bill as an amendment; butif the
result of their efforts during the last
week is an indication of their voting
strength their efforts will only result
in talk; they have succeeded in Sc
curing only one amendment that was
opposed by democrats Of the ways and
means committee-th that making the
free wool clause go into effect on the
passage of the bill.
Ex Minister Stevens gave some
very interesting testimony so the SEN
ate com mittee on foreign relations, on
Saturday, concerning happenings in
Hawaii during his period of office as
minister. He went over the whole
business, frankly stating that he ia
vored annexation and showing that
for that very reason he was so partc-
ular in all his official acts up to the
formation Of the provisional govern
ment that the annexationists thought
him opposed to them. It is almost
amusing to hear Of the anger felt by
Mr.. Cleveland and the ''cuckoo" DEM
ocrat5 because of President Dole's
plain language to Minister Willis con-
- no
queen and his lack of frankness in
dealing with the provisional govern
ment If Mr. Willis had not deserved
receiving such a letter it would per-
haps never have been written.
The bond issue announced by Secre
tary Carlisle has turned the populists
and majority of the southern and
western democrats in congress into |
bowling dervishes, and wild and in
hammatory talk is INDUCED in by |
them, some of which will be given an
escape valve by the resolution Of Son-
ators PETER and Allen which will be
made the text for some speeches in
the senate this week. Whether the
action Of Secretary Carlisle was
proper one is a question that your
correspondent will not deal with at
present, bat there is no doubt of it's le
gality, even putting the strictest con-
struction upon the authority confer
red by the act of 1875. That act au
ehorizes the issue of bonds for the pur
chase Of gold for the redemption Of
treasury notes. Of course everybody
knows that this bond issue is really to
get money to meet current obligations,
the democratic tariff policy having re-
suited in causing the revenues to fall
below the amount needed, but it must
be plain to the humblest student of f.
nance that it will be a very easy mat
ter for Mr.. Carlisle to comply with
the letter Of that act by having his
friends, the Wall Street bankers, re-
quire all the gold received from the
sale OF bonds, thus leaving him the
treasury notes to pay the expenses Of
the government. True, there will be
4 little trickery about such a plan, but
that will be nothing new from the
administration.

THAT is easily explained. The tele-
gram was sent by a private secretary

playful expression. Ii was sent as
such and was so understood"
Mr. pebs then said that within five
days after the strike was declared the
union had the railroads beaten. 'srhey
were paralyzed," he said, "but just AZ
that time injunctions were sown broad
cast, and shortly afterwards the Off
cials OF the American Railway union
were arrested for contempt OF court I"
About that time a thing occurred
which | desire TO mention. Gen, Miles

Managers association, and the next
day was quoted in an interview rs
saying that he had broken the back
bone OF the strike. Now | consider
that call OF Gen Miles as yulgarly out

sociation than he had TO consult with
the men OF our union.
The witness then told of the trouble
with the railroad brotherhoods.
"rhe brotherhoods have outllyed
their usefulness" he said. land for that
reason left the firemen's organization.
They were, fear. jealous OF the Amer
lean Railway union and helped to de.
feat us. There Is now a movement on
foot to form a grand and united rail

SATOLII SAID TO HAVE DONE
NOTHING RADICAL.
His Recent Letters Entirely Misunder-
stood by the Public-what He
Meant

Washington, d. c., Aug. 2l.-The re-
cent letter of Monsignore Satolli TO
Bishop Watterson on the liquor ques-
tin has excited more attention in Cath
Ole circles than anything that has oc-
Cured in recent years. 1t has been as
sumed by temper ance and prohibition
people that the immediate representa-
tive Of the pope in the United States
has not only declared in favor of tenn
perance and total abstinence, bp. that
he has announced that Catholics who
are saloon-keepers cannot have good
standing in Catholic societies. 1t ap-
pears that the public has entirely mis-
understood the meaning of the letters
which Monsignore Satolli addressed 10
Bishop Watterson, and that the pope's
representative has made no such rep
reservations, and pronounced no such
injunctions as have been attributed TO
him. On the contrary, it is ascertained
that Monsignore Satolli did not intend
or expect that these two letters should
be made public, and that his attitude
simply is that the authority of bishop
within his diocese must be respected,
and that the letters to Bishop Waiter
son were written in order to sustain
and strengthen episcopal authority.
1t is denied upon authority that Mon
signore Satolli intended to promulgate
fundamental doctrine on the liquor
question, or to express the opinion of
the church, or his own opinion, as to
the advantages or disadvantages, pro
priety or improperly Of the manufact-
ure, sale, or use of spirituous liquors or
with respect to temperance, total alb
stinence, or prohibition; and that,
moreover, Satolli himself is not a pro-
hibitionist, but applies to himself the
advice Of st. Paul. and takes little
wine for the stomach's sake
