POLITICAL POINTERS.

The Montgomery Advertiser Oem.)
says: Business will open up as soon
as the President signs the new tariff
bill Men who stand in the way of
this great result will be remembered
by those with whose interests they
trifle.'
| 1t is good news which Mr. Robert
P. Porter telegraphs from Washington
to the New York Press:
+, 1T is useless to delude with false
hope. No Republican leader whose
| opinion is of value believes the Wilson
bill can be killed in the House of Re-
representatives."
! The Danville VA, Register (Dem }
urges that a constitutional convention
be held in that state to amend the suf-
| frage laws. with a. view to limiting the
franchise to the intelligent classes and
shutting out the ignorant and the
venal.' The Richmond Dispatch and
the State (both Democratic) express
approval of the suggestion.
IF the Democratic party" says the
| Galveston News Dern.J finds itself
unwilling or unable to make effect We
the plain and positive instructions of
i the people, to carry out it's own writ
ten pledges to the country, to make
good the promises of reform upon which
| 1T has lived and secured power and OPP
portunity, then the Democratic party
should confess it's uselessness, disband,
and crawl off and die"
Speaking CT the plan of the Anti
Spells League to secure by pledge the
services of citizens all over the coun-
try, the Buffalo = Commercial Rep)
says; Intelligent men of all parties,
| in every community, will sympathize
with the objects of this movement,
and gladly lend the small assistance
asked of them in helping to make it
an efficient ally in the work of Great
| ing a decisive public opinion in favor
of the early removal of the entire SER
vice from the range Of the spoilsmen' S
operations"
The Washington Post Qnd) likes
Secretary Morton,s remark that the
most insidious foe to the farmer is the
professional farmer who, as the promo
ter of oranges and alliances, for poll
| tlcal purposes, farms the farmer" of
which it says: In these days, when
so many political cranks and blather-
sixties are trying to create among the
| farmers and others false notions of
finance and the doctrine that the &C
emulation of capital is detrimental to
their interests, it is a. hopeful sign to
ind a public servant wise enough and
courageous enough to get up and speak
the truth. We hope others will follow
so good an example,"
The Boston Transcript Rep) thinks
that Mr.. Carnegie's proposal to accept
moderate Democratic tariff, rather
than fight for high protective legisla-
ton which would be the object of con-
tinual attack, will do much to unite
the business sentiment of the country
as against the mere politicians and or
gang grinders whose business depends
on preventing great questions from get
! ting settled The protection organs
have Mr.. Carnegie under full fire. The
Philadelphia Telegraph, for instance,
washes it's hands of him, saying: cit
is hard to be patient with such a mis-
chief-maller as Mr.. Carnegie has
shown himself to be during recent
years. He takes himself off, in his ac-
customed way, to foreign lands, leav-
ing behind him a message of aid and
comfort for the enemies of American
industry, which, they are making the
most of, and which they will utilize
to the top of their bent, in and out of
Congress. 1t Is a most unworthy per-

hoped it's author will live to regret
and be heartily ashamed Of"

or his mind that needs mending is of
little account There is strong evil
