Mr.. Cleveland on the Tariff.

The President has changed his views of the
new tariff bill, after he has observed its prac-
teal working for fifteen months, and saws in
his message to Congress that in principle it
sis based upon denial of the right of the
Government to obstruct the avenues to our
peoples cheap living or lessen their comfort
and contentment. for the sake of according
especial advantages to tilvorites, and which,
while encouraging our intercourse and trade
with other nations, recognizes the fact that
American self-reliance, thrift and ingenuity
can build up our country's industries and de-
velop its resources more surely than enervat-
ing paternalism.
The President did not recommend any
changes whatever in the law, and evidently
believes that it is drawn upon proper princ-
pies, that it will produce enough revenue to
meet the requirements of the government and
ought to be let alone

Thirty-two Contested Seats.

WAsHINGToN, Dec. In view of the I'M
usually large number of contested election
cases TO be passed upon by the House of Rep
reSentatives. Speaker Reed has decided to
appoint two committees to consider them
This is the first time in the history of Congress
that the number of contests reached the re-
markabv high figure of thirty-two. In the
last Congress there were somewhat more than
dozen, and some Of them were not disposed
OF until near the close Of the Congress- The
Committee ON Elections will be among the
first appointed, and will be instructed to go
to work and bring in their reports without
delay. 1t is the intention to have all the CON
tests disposed Of during the first session of the
present Congress.
In all the contests there is but one in which
Il colored man is contestant. That is the
case OF Murray VS.. Elliott from the Charles
ton, 5. c., district. Murray was the only
colored member Of the last Congress, and he
hopes to be able to unseat Representative
Elliott in his pending contest. Many of the
contestants make the fight for the 81, 500 ex-
penses allowed to contestants, providing they
are unsuccessful, and it sometimes occurs that
the expenses Of a contest are not half that
amount, but the contestant is thrifty enough
to put in a bill for the entire amount

A PANIC AMONG NEGROES.
Twelve Deaths From Poisoning or a.
Mysterious Grip Epidemic

LITTLE Rock, ARK, December Further
details Of the reported wholesale poisoning of
negroes near TeXarkana was received here
today. Up to the present time twelve deaths
have occurred, and as many more are in a
precarious condition.
The negroes of the community are super
stltious and ignorant, and do not believe that
the deaths are the result of poison or disease,
but that it is pestilence upon them by God.
So strong is this belief fastened upon them that
they refuse to take medicine, and will not re-
ceive treatment of any kind at the hands of
the physicians. The doctors say that the
deaths are the result of la grippe in virulent
form, and that there has been no poisoning.
The disease is spreading, and unless the ne
groes can be induced to take medicine many
more deaths are likely to occur before the
epidemic is checked. The theory entertained
by some that the negroes have been poisoned is
based on the fact that the farmers in that
section are in the habit of feeding poisoned
Stops to their hogs to prevent the negroes from
stealing their pork.

assurance from Mr.. Cannon. who had offered
the resolution, that they would hereafter be
referred to the Committee on Rules, and that
the House would have an opportunity to

The Sentinel is somewhat outraged that
Governor Brown should have designated DR..
Rinehart for Chief Judge of the Orphans
Court. We do not see that it makes any diff
ference which one ''sits in the middle for
that is about all the distinction there is in it.
The chief has no more pay and no more power
or privileges than the other two. If there
were any distinction worth noting, it would
have only been a graceful compliment for DIR.
Rinehart's associates, had they the selection,
to have elected DIR. Rinehart He is the
Democratic member of the bench, and the
other two are there only because of light
Democratic vote and by aid of some Demo-
Gratis who did go the polls.

Reed on the Fifty-First Congress

In his speech to the Republican caucus o
the House of Representatives, returning thank
for his selection as Speaker Of the House
Themas B. Reed said History will accorc
us praise for what we did in the Fifty frs
Congress.
The Fifty-frst Congress. it will be remem
bered. was distinguished for Mr.. Reeds auto.
crane ruTe, tire counting of quOrums that were
not present, the unseatng of elected Demo
Gratis and the seating of unelected Republ
cans, the passage Of the Mckinley infamy and
the Sherman Silver purchase act and the
attempt to pass Force bill. The first ses-
sion of that Congress ended in October, 1890
and the following month the congressional
elections resulted in changing IA Republican
majority Of twenty into II Democratic
majority of one hundred and forty The con-
demnation of that Congress was continued in
the state elections Of 1891, and in 1892 the
country went overwhelmingly Democratic.
The more the people contemplated the work
of the Fifty first Congress, and felt the result
of the Mckinley and Sherman laws. the
of the rule of the party responsible for it.
The Democrats repealed both of these
measures, and since have met with two severe
defeats. These defeats, however, were nor
the result of dissatisfaction because of the
repeal, but because of divisions in the Demo
cratic party. Neither of the measures were
issues in the campaign this year.
History will never accord the Fifty-iirst
Congress praise for anything, and if Mr.. Reed
believes what he said let the present Congress,
under his guidance, re-enact the McKinly and
Sherman laws and attempt the passage of Il
Force bill. He will witness condemnation
of the Fifty-fourth Congress greater than that
visited on the Fify-first. If Mr.. Reed does
not attempt TO repeat the acts that he says
history will accord ''praise'' for, he was talk
ing through his hat.
Continuing, Mr.. Reed said. speaking of
history according praise for what the party
did IN the Fifty first Congress, land it may
accord us its praise in this for what we do not
do. In this Mr.. Reed outlined his policy
to do as little as possible, adjourn and 90
home. He is an aspirant for the Republican
nomination for President, and he is afraid.
like all other candidates, that the present
Congress may by its acts destroy all chances
of success. Every aspirant is nervous on this
account. The Republicans have a majority
of about l48 in the House, and Mr.. Reed will
not be able to control it, and it will be dollars
to dimes if the record of this Congress does
not ruin Republican prospects.

Make No Mistake.

Democratic primaries will be held today

hoped the party fully realizes the situation
and will select delegates in every district
who will be able to rise to the import
ance of the occasion, lay aside personal
friendship, district pride and all other con-
siderations and act for the general good in
selecting d candidate for State Senator. The
party has plenty Of material to select from
men who would acceptably fill the. position if
elected The duty is to select candidate
who can best command the party support--a
Democrat of high qualifications, Of undoubtca
integrity, and one with no entangn@ alliances.
Such a man is DR.. }. ". Herring. cashier OF
Union National Bank. He is Democrat
from principle, and has been faithful one for
forty years. He has never sought political
Office. He is not now candidate for the
Senate, but leading men in all parts Of Car
roll have turned to him as the one man in the
county surest to lead the party to victory. So
earnestly has he been importuned TO become
a candidate he has consented to accept a
him with anything like unanimity.
1t is the opinion Of very many persons that
Dr. Herring, at this time is by far the strongest
candidate that could be named. and none will
question that there il no better equipped man
for the position in the county. In fact he has
few equals, as to fitness and capacity, and
should he be sent to the Senate he will be Il
