Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1894-02-01


Washir gton, Jan. 2t-Thc house to-
day determined the abolition of the duty
IRON refined sugar which was passed
iron just before the house adjourned
le st night, as On amendme mt to an amend
ment offered by Mr.. Robertson, one of
the Louisiana sugar men. A way out OF
the confusion which existed upon the eff
feet of the amendment adopted last night
was found after two hours discussion
of the parliamentary situation by sub
hitting the question to the house as to
whether the Warner amendment placing
refined sugar on the free list should be
considered asa substitute for the Robert
son amendment. This was decided af>
Tentatively, and then by an Overwhelming
vote in which the Republicans joined with
the radical Democrats against the sugar
men and several members of the ways
md means committee, the substitute was
adopted. With regard to the sugar
schedule therefore, the committee of the
whole has abolished the bounty and
placed oil sugar. both raw and refined.
upon the free list. When it came to
consider the coal schedule. however, the
committee Jared much better and all four
of the amendments designed to place a
duty of from 40 to IS cents per ton upon
coal were beaten. The debate upon the
coal schedule Developed great deal of
feeling among the Southern members,
especially those from Virginia, West Vir-
GINA, Tennessee and Alabama, whose
stotes are interested either in coal or
iron ore. The general impression is TINT

Senator Berry.

The Senator passed through the
city Monday on his way to Benton-
Vile. He had been down at Little
Rock and other points in the Southern
portion of the State. To y Times
reporter who saw him at the Frisco
depot, he stated that he was booked
to deliver . speech In st. Francis
county on the 2lth inst, and at few
other points In the same county
during the latter days of the north.
Asked his opinion Of the nomina-
tion Of Hill in New York. he replied
that the latter would poll very
heavy vote William. q. Whitney
had been his choice for the place, but
he most desired party success, and
trusted the New York Democracy
would again assert itself.
The Senator was looking unusually
well and hearty, and spent the fore
noon mingling among his Fort Smith
friends OF whom he hak MANY, and
who rejoice In the political success
which has invariably crowned his
efforts Sort Smith Times.

A Supreme Court Decision.

CHICAGO, Oct. LIN the United
States Court of Appeals today Justice
Harlan, of the United States Supreme
Court, reading an opinion of the
famous rtrike injunction Of Judge
Jenkins, rather severely handled the
latter. He did not agree with Jenkins
famous definition of strike that 1t
was necessarily illegal, but held that
there was such u thing as legal
strike. Jenkins injunction was
modified. Judges Wood and Bum
concurred. That part of Jenkins
injunction which restrained employees
of railroad from striking, the Court
of Appeals declares was u violation Of
the rights Of employees, who could not
legally be restrained from leaving the
employ of the receivers and the COM
pany when they may see fl. to do 20,
whether they quit in body or
individually. That part of the in.
junction which restraints the employe es
from entering into conspiracy to
quit with tile intention of crlppling
the property and preventing the
operation Of the road Is sustained.

HIPS Nomination.

Senator Mitchell, of Wisconsin, has
this to say of the nomination Of Hill
for governor of New York:
ut is said to be the strongest nomi-
nation that could have been made.
1t will have q stimulating effect all
through the country. There is no
doubt Of Hill's sincerity in saying he
doesn't want the nomination, for who
would yield q place in the Senate for
the govern0rship of New York?
Possibly the presidency as a sequel to
the governOrship might make the
exchange worth his while. I feel
certain, however, that Hill didn't
want to re-enter the gubernatorial
struggles In New York;
Mitchell was chairman OF the DEM
ocratic national congressional COM
mittee up to the opening of the present
congressional campaign. He says the
Democratic margin IN the present
house of representatives is so great
the Republicans will not be able to
overcome 1t, and the next house will
be Democratic by q reduced majority.

Democrats Won in Georgia.

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 4.-The Consti-
tuition publishes today returns of l37
count es In Georgia from unofficial
estimates complied by its correspond
ents. The unofficial returns indicate
that the State Las gone Democratic
by upw ard OF 80, 900 majority. BY the
official count consultations which
took place at II o'clock today show
this figure has been reduced to about
10000, which is now accepted by con-
servative estimates on the Democratic
side. The Populists claim the coun-
which will be the last to be heard
from, will reduce the majority ut least
10000. OF the l75 members Of the
House elected, g. are Populists, and
OF the Senators elected seven are Pop
ulists and one Republican. Several
of the strongest Democratic counties
have been carried by The Populists,
and, with but few exceptions, every
county in the State shows Populist
gains. Speaker Crisp's district gives
the largest Democratic majority Of
amy district IN the State. He figured
coils picu jusly in the campaign,
strongly advocating tariff reform and
the free coinage of silver. secretary
Smith, Congressman Turner and
others vigorously defended the policy
of the administration on the stump.
speaker Crisp and Secretary Smith
spoke in A Atlanta together u few
We. ks a. o, one defending free silver,
the other antagonizing 1t. The Pop
ulists took full advantage OF the
division, and the result has been
great slump in Democratic majorities
throughout.

The venerable editor, Col. w. F.
Hicks, Of the able LOnoke Dem ocrat,
gives the difference between "then
and now" in this unique way. He
says: How some things change
during the lifetime of an old man.
Fifty years ago a lady would deem
herself insul.ed If her name appeared
In the columns of a newspaper, with
comments on her beauty and dress;
now she Is not satisfied unless she
can get from halt to a column of
"gush," over her translucent beauty,
wardrobe and wit. Every young lady
goes into extacies now when she sees
IN the paper that the "beautiful and
accomplished" Miss - was shop
ping, on the street, visiting or attend
ed fish-fry or other sociable. When
we were q boy an item of that kind
would have brought trouble to the
editor by q ca from a father, q
brother or cousin for the insult
Customs have changed so that If we
don't make mention of the "dear
creatures" we are likely to hear some-
thing we don't like.
And how long will it be before
the item gatherer will have to
notice that "Miss SO a SOn was
milking the cows as he passed the

WAGES GOING CP.
More New Woolen and Cotton Mills
Than for FOur Years.

These are the bad times, very bad
times, for political wool growers aud
calamity howlers. Not Ouly do prices
Of domestic woods remain firm, 1t an
advance of about 10 pr cent. above
the Mckinley prices of two months
ago, but there is unusual activity In
the wOolen and cotton mills.
The Wool and Cotton Reporter
devotes q page every week to .
"Bulletin Of New Enterprises. ("
which, however, includes mills shut
ting down. There used to be more
mills shutting down than starting up;
but since the passage OF 1.-THE free
trade Wilson bill,' which was TO
.sannlhila te'' the WOODEN industry,
the record has been remarkable one
better than for any two weeks during
the four years of McKinleyisln.
For the week ending September G,
the Reporter mentions five new mills,
one of which is . cotton mill, to cost
$l50, 900, twenty-eight enlargements
aud improvements, and twenty mills
starting up, one Of which has been
closed nine months and another five
years.
RawItzer BROS of Stafford Springs,
are mentioned rs having settled with
their dissatisfied weavers, giving
them 25 per cent. advance In wages.
This wage advance Is more than the
American Economist could find in any
pro ected Industry during the first
two years of McKinleyism.
The record IL good one, hut that
for the week ending September IL IL
better, During this week there were
fifteen Items under the column headed
aNew Mills.n One of the mills men,
toned is to have $4,000 spindles, and
to be the largest cotton mill In the
South.
Another. for making cotton. wool
and woreted yarn, il to occupy u
building l1O by 200 feet, which struct-
ure alone IL to cost $4,000. "The
plans for the new plant" says the
Reporter, s.have been ready for some
time, hut 1t is said the construction Of
the mill depended upon the settlement
Of the tariff question:" It Is located
at Philadelphia.
Another cotton mill. with $4,000
spindles. 10 to be built at Gaffney, ),
e., with n capital Of $3.50, 900.
Another cotton mill, with $40O, ,0O(
capital, is proposed for bath, s. G.
Two hundred thousand dollars have
already been subscribed.
The other new mills are for the
manufacture of wO0len, cotton, knit
hosiery, and silk goods.
Under the column "Enlargements
and improvements" there are eighteen
mentions. Under the column "Start.
ing Up aud Shutting Down" twenty
mills are mentioned as having started
or about to start up. One of these has
been closed since April last, another
over y year, and third for two years
All three are woolen mills. Only foul
are mentioned as shutting dOwn-one
to make repairs. another for two
weeks, another because of q death
and the last Is running on short time
Oh account of low water.
II this sort of business goes on unit
