The ANIMosITY of the boilers for
their late allies, the republicans, de-
veloped by the passage of the new tariff
bill, and the contemptuous disregard
that is paid to them by the latter, only
tend to increase the ridicule that natur-
ally attaches to them. If they have
good sense, they must have known as
we'll last fall as they do now, that the
republicans would do just what they
have done, and they make themselves
a laughing stock by their present fus-
sing and huttering. So far from de
ceiving them in respect of the tariff, the
republicans have only done what they
said they were going to do.

The FILIBUsTERs would have it ap
pear that they really believe the order
of Gen. Weyler compelling non-combat-
ants in Cuba TO leave their homes and
come within the Spanish lines, the NEST
cruel and Infamous on record. They
must have forgotten, or never heard OF,
order No. IL, the famous order issued
by Gen. Ewing, OF the 0. S. A., under
which an entire section of the State Of
Missouri was depopulated during the
war between the States, the inhabit-
ants not being brought within the fed
eral lines, where they could have OBJ
tanned food and medicine, but driven
farther south, where it WIS almost i'm
possible to obtain such necessary sup
plies; and they must also be ignorant OF
the facts that Gen. Sheridan boosted
that he had 80 devastated the Valley
of Virginia that crow in flying over
it had to carry its own ratioDs,
and that Gen. Sherman drove the fam
lilies of Confederate soldiers in Atlanta
out into the waste and wilderness made
by his bummers on their famous unob-
structed march through Georgia, the
pathway of which was marked by the
blaze of houses and barns and mills at
night and by the smoke thereof by day.

THE republicans OF the South, to be
sure, never do much toward electing
republican Presidents, but it is equally
as certain, even to Secretary Sherman,
that they do have great deal to do
with nominating them. Political in.
gratitude is proverbial, but that of the
administration toward the Southern
men who abandoned their kith, kin
and associations to support it. is plenom-
email. 1t has failed to appoint single
Confederate to Office, and of the
few Southern white men it has sppoint-
ed, all, without exception, came South
either with carpet bags or muskets On
their shoulders. 1t has nothing but
cold shoulder for native born Southern
white men.

FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 80 1887

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY is now en-
loving himself at fashionable water
ing place in the North. He has sue
ceeded in reimbursing those who sun
scribed to the fund with which his
election was bought, by means OF a
tariff bill which Expresses the poor Tor
the benefit of the rich; he has inter-
fered with Spain in her treatment OF
her insurgent subjects, and has smiled
upon those who urged him to do SO
with Turkey. He has been rude and
puguacious toward England, and has II :
creased the general unfriendiness en-
tertained by foreign nations for this
country, and has actually proposed to
risk foreign war in order to annex
Hawaii. more than two thousand miles
across the sea and inhabited almost en-
tirely by Indians, Chinese and Japan
ese. He has appointed as one member
of his Cabinet man who said Dill
should be effective months before 1t De-
came law, and prolonged office hours
at the customs houses from twelve un'
till four o'clock last Saturday, in order
to exempt cargoes that might arrive
during that time from the operation OF
the new tariff bill, but subsequently
decided shat that bill went into effect
at twelve O'Clock the night before; and /,
as another, one who in respect OF the
most important affairs forgets one
week what he has said or done the
week before. He has relieved himself
of the mortgage of $4,000 Mr.. Hanna
held, but only by giving the latter al
most sole control of the federal offices,
though that required the breaking OF
promises made in the presence of re-
liable witnesses. He has produced ne
potism in its most extended limit,
foisting nearly all his relatives upon
the government. He has used nation
al vessels for his own private accom-
mediation, and though elected as gold
man, has not only appointed bimetal-
lie commission to Europe, but sent q
currency message to Congress. He has
appointed negroes to prominent aud
important Offices in the Southern
States, and thereby necessarily hinders,
delays and prevents the proper execu
ton of the federal laws in those States.
He may be an excellent President, but
that many, even of his own party
don't think so, goes without saying.

A Glasgow lady has had a singular
experience. About the beginning of
November last she paid a hurried visit
to her business premises and while
there lost the diamond from a favorite
ring. Search was made everywhere for
the precious stone. The shop Vas
given an extra sweep, the dust placed
in a hair" sieve and washed, but not
a trace of the lost jewel was got. Con-
Guiding that the diamond was gone
for good, the ring was reset and the
loss almost forgotten, when the own
er's daughter, who had accompanied
her to the shop on the occasion, re-
marked: Mother, there's something
in the heel of my right boot which
catches the carpet every step | take"
See what it is" was the reply, and
there, firmly imbedded in the solid
leather, was the missing diamond. Sim
gularly enough, during the past two
months the young lady had been in
the country and walked over the hard
macadamized roads. Diamond, in no
wise injured, and boot heel are to
join the heirlooms of the family.-Ade-
laide Observer.

for it is a well known saying that where
