II. G. M,CABE FOR GOVERNOR.

A late number of the New Orleans
Picayune contained a good wood-cut
likeness and an interesting Geographic
al sketch of Hon. Ii. c. McCabe, of
Vicksburg, who is announced as a
Democratic candidate for Governor.
Mr.. McCabe may we'll be classed
among the most eminent and deserv-
ing of the self made men of our State,
having by his native talents, energy,
industry, steady habits and pluck, ris-
en- from plow-boy to position at
the head of the Vicksburg bar. Know
ing Mr.. McCabe's moral worth and
independence of character as we do,
we must say, however, it was with feel
ings of mingled surprise and regret
that we find him seeking honors at the
hands of pronounced liquor party
and becoming political yokefellow
with corrupt Tammany and the rank
saloon element of his own city, rather
than boldly and openly declaring his
to the Prohibition party, the
truo reform party of the day. This
surprise and regret were emphasized
when we read Mr.. McCabe's recent in
terview in the Clarion-Ledger, to
which we expect to refer more at
length hereafter, and saw him studi-
ously avoiding all reference to the
great Prohibition reform. though free
ly delivering himself on numerous mi
nor questions. Has the sleepless and
foe to all good which Sc
duced Dabney Marshal by offering him
a county representatives. seat and
made him turn apostate and traitor,
offered our laudably ambitious frienG
McCabe the Governorship of Missis-
sippi as the price of his silence and
on this issue? We devout-
ly hope not.

THE CARLISLE CURRENCY BILL.

The amended Carlisle Currency bill
will occupy the attention of the lower
house of Congress this week, with its
fate uncertain. Democrats are divid-
ed on it, and the Republican opposi-
ton solid. The two important changes
contained in the new Bill are those
permitting National banks to retain
their present bond-secured circulation
indefinitely, instead of compelling the
sale of the bonds and the supply of
new security, and abolishing the joint
liability of all National banks for the
redemption at par of the notes of fail
ed banks. Another new feature is one
providing that notes not redeemed
upon presentation shall draw 6 per
cent. interest from date of suspension
of the bank responsible for them. The
provisions regarding State banks are
made more strict.
1t does not appear, however, that the
substitute finds more favor in the
Press than the original enjoyed. Some,
in fact, regard the amended Bill as
even more illogical and mischievous.

A Washington special says Senators
Cockrell, German and JONES' Demo
Gratis, and Senator Allison, Republi-
can, held an informal meeting the 9th
err day to discuss the prospects of cor
recting the present tariff law by amend
ments to the urgency deficiency bib.
After hearing from Senator Allison
that opposition might be expected
from the Republican minority, the
Democrats who had assembled, gave it
as their opinion that there would be
no effort made to pass any tariff legis-
lation this session. 1t is little wonder
honest Democrats who expected their
party to do something when it got into
power, are turning from it with shame
and disgust.

THE COTTON GROWERS PROTECTIVE
ASSOCIATIONS

The Cotton Growers Protective AS
ISOLATION, composed of delegates from
all of the Cotton States, will meet in
jackson tomorrow. The most practi-
cal suggestion we have seen in connec-
ton with the meeting, comes from Mr..
j. N. Carpenter, of Natchez, in an open
letter to Gov. Stone. He decries the
sterotyped resolutions usually adopted
on such occasions, and says:
Iwould suggest that the convention
appoint a committee to draw up char
ton throughout all the cotton States:
clubs to be formed in every county
eligible not only farmers, but mer-
chants and bankers. Let the cardinal
principle be reduction of cotton acre
age to the extent of one-third of last
years acreage. Let the bylaws pro-
vide that the planter or farmer shall
pledge himself by oaths that he will
make this reduction, that the merchant
will only advance money and supplies
to those that will agree to this basis.
and that the bankers will only advance
to planters and merchants who will
carry out this obligation in good faith
Let supervisors be appointed by the
various county clerks, say one for each
police district, to see that the obliga-
tions are carried out or bring the often
der before the grand jury for perjury.
1t will be necessary for bureau to
be established at once, to organize
these clubs in the various counties, and
as money will be necessary will guar
antee this county to pay at least S50t
to carry on the work.
Some people may say the undertak
ing is too great, but it is no greater
than was the organizing of the White
Cammellia and knights of the Black
Cross, to which the Southern people
fiocked by the thousands, in few
months, just after the war. If this be
done we may hope to get six cents per
pound for our next crop.

Dramatic Story.
MEpoRA, N. D., Jan. ga horrible
story was told to the coroner's jury con-
corning the death Of Ed Stevenson, who
was shot at Mark Wadsworth's ranch
Dec. 81. Fred Roehm, q bright 16-year
old boy, who had been in custody sew
eral days, suspected of the murder, had
made partial confession to Clerk OF
the Court Foley. Before the coroner's
jury he made clean breast of it, saying
his employer, Wadworth, took him in the
early dawn into the barn and promised
him 5000 to shoot Stevenson
He told him when he pulled the trig-
ger and the deed was done he would
pay him. The story was dramatic and
told by the boy quietly and clearly, but
he burst into tears when the climax was
reached. Wadsworth himself followed
the boy and denied the whole story.
Wadsworth is partially paralyzed, and
the boy says the old man could not pull
the trigger.
The prosecution believes it has found
motive in the claim that Wadsworth
owed Stevenson money. Wadsworth Is
under arrest on charge of murder.
