Representative Bingh ,m, OF
Penn, doesn't expect any tariff
legislation at the coming session of
Congress, and he says he has no
doubt that all evtra session will
meet within a month of Mckinley 8
Inauguration. He Is one OF The
numerous republicans who oppose
passing the Dingley or any other
temporary tariff bill at this session
OF Congress, because by waiting d
few months the party can pass a
general tariff bill with the Ger.
tainty that it will become law.
But right here arises the q lestlOn,
will it be certain to pass the
Senate, even 1t an extra session
be calledf Unless the repuD lean
Silver Senators vote tor .protec
tive tariff bill, or the republicans
get the Senators from all the states
now IN doabt, is b. no means GER
tain that a protective ariff bill
can get IA majority vote of the
Senate after the 4.b Of March.
A noticeable feature of the sic

part of the silver men, either III

commit themselves In advance OF

The proper policy is for all parties to
unite upon law that will be a purely
revenue measure. Let the government
take care of itself and protect the peo'

SBNA1Oh PETER.
Views oil the Popullst Senator
from Kansas on the Political
SITUATION.

, Washington, Nov.17.-Senator PETER
OF Kansas has determined to second the
efforts OF Senator Butler to make the
populist party the leader in the fight for
silver from now until the campaign of
1900. He says there is not the slightest
probability the alliance between Il e
silver republicans and the populists can
continue. The only manner in which
the silver forces can be again united In
support of one candidate he says. will
be through the organization OF Il new
party devoted exclusively to the cause
OF silverand with no hampering alliances
with members OF either OF the old par
ties. Senator PETER wishes the work Of
organizing this new party to commence
at once and continue during the next
four years. The silver men Of the demo
cratic party he says, have control of the
party organization and may attempt
four years hence to conducta campaign
in the interest OF free coinage under the
present party name. Such an attempt,
however, he predicts will fail more com-
pletely than did Mr.. Bryan's candidacy.
Senator PETER is also of the opinion that
the silver men should not obstruct re-
publican legislation either in the pre-
sent or the coming Congress. He is
satisfied the republican policy will fail
to produce beneficial results, but the
completeness of the failure can only be
thoroughly demonstrated BY permitting
them to enact legislation.

Senator Butler Serves Notice.


It's probably idle to go back
now and review the causes which
led to the dettat of Dir. Bryan,
but the chiefest among them all
was the brutal stupidity of the
esldbug nominee for Vice Presl-
dent in declining to retire from
national ticket supported b. those
forces declaring for reform. 1t may
no. be altogether correct to assert
that this stupidity is The cole
cause OF defeat. bnt it is certain
that May people who favor reform
could not be persuaded to believe
il the sincerity OF man as Arthur
Sewall, and we have no hesitation
IN slyIng they were right. We
have asserted before that he was
put on the ticket by the schemeIs
% Gef, st 1t, and we say so now.
The oil Iect for which he vas put
up has been accomplished.
Another cause ofthe defeat IA"
the failure OF the party represented
by the Chicago Convention to sap
port tie Bryan ticket. 1t tha'
prty had given tTO-thiids as
many votes to Bryan as 1t gave to
Cleveland toar years ago, Bryan
would have been elected.
The announcement nov comes
that Mr.. Bryan declares he WI
continue to fight the battle of re
form. 1t lswell, perhaps, that he
sill do so. He is an able leader,
aud it may be that none can new
I've found to equal him. But greet
events can be evolved within the
next four years, and, speaking
now for the Peoples Party o.
North Corollna, and we believe 70 l
the nation, we take tue liberty OF
serving notice upon Mr. Il yam
that If he desires to have the re-
| form forces of the Peoples Party
I'm the next Gght he must do 40 un.
der some other uame than that Of
Democrat. That name has be
come "a reproach and a stencil II
moug the people, and 1t Will no

True Democracy in Jersey.
Yours very truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND

Ex-senator Henry d. Winton Of
Bergen county, n. j., Chairman OF the
National Democratic State Committee,
has announced that the National Demo-
cratic party has come to stay. He says
sThe National Democratic vote in
New Jersey was 6,474. TO get a legal
status as a party under the New Jsrsey
Election law 1t should have polled two
per cent. OF the total vote, which would
be Z. 437 votes. The two per cent. was
secured in Bergen, Darlington, Middle
sex, Monmouth, Morris, Somerset, and
Union counties. and candidates for
county offices can be nomina ted by con-
vention instead Of by petition. The
National Democratic party will perfect
its machinery in each county OF the
State by the formation Of county cem-
mittees, in order that there may be a
Democratic Organization free iroE
Populism. The Bryan organization not
being In harmony with Democratic prin-
ciples, the National Democracy Of the
State cannot and will not have anything
to do with it as an organization. The
new Democratic party is the only
genuine Democratic organization how
existing and the future Of the Democra-
CIV is in its keeping. Its principles are
those laid down at the indianapolis
Convention, they are Democratic to the
core and as such will renew public CELL
fldence In the Democratic organization
as sosn as it is demonstrated that such
Democrats are In control Of its machine
cry and are guiding it once more through
the paths Of principle to the nations
honor"

The popular cry among republicans Is
for more revenue. 1t is highly impor-
tant that the revenues of the govern
ment should meet the expenses. With
private individuals, when the revenues
decrease il is considered wise to decrease
III. expenses. One of the fundamental
doctrines of democracy, when led by
sueh men az Cleveland and others, was
the economical administration OF thegov-
ernmsn.. The first effort should be to
lep off unnecessary expenses. Tarln
bills are always dangerous. Under the
pretsxt of increasing the revenues, the
protectionists lax the people ten times
asmuch as the revenues increase. Let
the government place tariff tax upon
sueh articles as are not manufactured
in this country. 1t will require very
small tax to give us the necessary
revenue. A tariff tax upon articles
manufactured in this country benefits
TIE manufacturers more than It does

wheeled into position, and was soon re-
turning shot for shot with telling effect
for some time.

Cincinnati Commercial soon after its
date. To this Lieut. Gov. Stanton re-
piled, and / further rejoined in letter
dated July II, 1862. These letters are
too personal to be revived. By this
time the good people of the North had
begun to have their eyes opened, and to
give us in the field more faith and sup
port. Stanton was never again elected
to any public office, and was commonly
spoken of as "the late Mr.. Stanton"
He is now dead, and | doubt not in life
he often regretted his mistake in at
tempting to gain popular fame by abus-
ing the army leaders, then as now an
easy and favorite mode of gaining
notoriety, if not popularity. OF course,
subsequent events gave Gen. Grant
and most of the other actors in
that battle their appropriate place in
history, but the danger of sudden popu-
lar clamors is we'll illustrated by this
case.

Landing, vas
ONE OF THE MOST FIERCELY CONTESTED
of the war. On the morning of April
6, 1862, the five divisions of McCler-
nand, Prentiss, Hurlbut, w. II. l.. Wal
lace, and Sherman, aggregated about
$4,000 men. We had no intrench-
ments of any sort, on the theory that as
soon as Buell. arrived we would march
to Corinth to attack the enemy. The
rebel army, commanded by Gen. Albert
Sidney Johnston, was, according to their
own reports and admissions, $4,000
strong, had the momentum of attack,
and beyond all question fought skillfully
from early morning till about 2 p. M,
when their Commander-in-Chief was
killed by minie-ball in the calf of his
leg, which penetrated the boot and sew
cred the main artery. There was then
perceptible lull for a couple of hours,
when the attack was renewed, but with
much less vehemence, and continued up
to dark. Early at night the division of
Lew Wallace arrived from the other
side of Snake Creek, not having fred a
shot. A very small part of Gen. BuelPs
army was on our side of the Tennessee
River that evening, and their loss was
trivial.
During that night the three divisions
Of McCook, Nelson, and Crittenden
were ferried across the Tennessee, and
fought with US the next day 9TH. Dur
ing that night, also, the two wooden
gunboats, Tyler, commanded by Lieut.
Gwin, and Lexington, Lieut.. Shirk,
both of the Regular Navy, caused shells
to be thrown toward that part of the
field of battle known to be occupied by
the enemy. Beauregard afterward re-
ported his entire loss as 10,699. Our
aggregate loss, made up from official
statements, shows 100 killed, 1885
wounded, and 1922 prisoners; aggre-
gate, 1927, of which 2,167 were in
Buell's army, leaving for that of Grant
10000 This result is fair measure of
the amount Of fighting done by each
army.
