ANOTHER OLD
GONE.

Mr.. W. G. Raglan has had the old
house on his property Il I the corner Of
Marons- and Market streets demol-
isEed. This house is said to have
been the oldest in the town. In Lis
brief historical sketch Of the town
published in 1889, Major 5. L. Grisa-
more placed the date Of its constrnc-
ton as far back rs 1917.

tants Of this place speak Of it as hay
Ing been already marked by age eve
at their earliest recollection Of il. Ii
was ali old-fasiiioned house, with il
very low ceiling.
1t was vain scotted and papered
with old fashioned wall paper, per
haps as old as the house itself. 1t
represented A great variety of scenes +:
landscapes, with humble cottages and
lowing cattle, loldly castles with
battlemeDts, stately courts, soldiers in
gay regimentals, simple peasants IN
lonely dress. gentle shepherds tend

IN b~ewildering confusion, their very
incongruity adding zest to the View.
The old house had been tie proper

belonged originally to the RnGauet
family and it was presumably old. Dr.
Pierre Ruuaiet who had it built.

SATURDAY. MAY S, 1897.
SENATOR McENERY AND
THE PROPOSED TARIFF.

The Junior Senator frum Louisiana
has recently been the object of consid-
cradle criticism at the hands Of a
portion of the Democratic press Of the
State on account of his expressed
views on the important question Of
the tariff, coupled with the announce
meut that he would vote for a fair
tariff bill which would afford a Just
measure OF protection to Louislana's
principal and interests. Some Of the
criticisms have been temperate aud
from their authors point of view, fair
and reasonable; while others have
been wild aud intempelate, degenela-
ting in some instances, into indlscrimi-
nate deuunciation and abuse.
While opposed 10 the doctrine Of
ssprotection for projections sake
being firmly convinced that such a
doctrine rests upon unsound economic
principles, the SENTINEL sees nothing
to censure in the conduct ofour junior
Senator relating to his contemplated
action OF the tariff question.
Senator McEuery's latest expression
on the subject as reported by the
Washington correspondent of tile
Times Democrat last Monday is in
these words :
II am disposed to support a Just
and conservative tariff bill, but | will
not give my vote . lend my aid to
any other kind of measure. | have
made this plain to the Republicans,
and they know, or should know, lust
how far | will follow them in the en-
actment of protective tariff legIsla
ton"
What possible objection can there
be to the views herein expressed 7 We
have to do with a Republican Congress
and a Republican President: the people
pie, the supreme arbiters in the matter.
have entrusted the Republicans with
power; have made them their agents
until that power is revoked by ii re.
versal of last Npvember's verdict at
the polls.
The campaign was fought on well
defined lines; the Democrats contend
ed that the demonetization of silver
was the cause Of the general distress
of the country !; while, on the other
hand, the Republicans insisted that
deficiency of revenue and want of
confidence We're the causes from which
sprang all our woes.
The people have apparently accept
ed the Republican theory of the stu
alton, and it would seem that under
our system of government the Repnb-
licans are entitled to try their remedy
on the patient. They propose to
increase the revenues by a protective
tariff misnamed a revenue measure.
The SENTINEL, for one, does not
believe that the proposed remedy will
prove generally efficacious: but since
the people. wl,3 are th . real patient n

Mr. Dingley claims that higher
duties Oh wooden goods are a necessary
compensation to the wooden manufac-
turer for the loss he sustains by being
deprived of free wool. The people
everywhere. from Maine to Texas and
especially the consumers of cheap
clothing, cheap blankets and cheap
carpets, are in the first place, TO be
mercilessly fleeced and shorn for the
benefit Of the wool growers, and, in
the second place. yet more outrage
ously robbed to compensate the wool
manufacturers. A very beautiful ar
rangement, indeed.-States.

this case have called in the doctor
who recommended it in preference to
the other doctor, we say, give them a
chance to try the remedy. If the rem-
edy cures the evil and restores gen-I-
al prosperity, all will share in it if it
falls short of it's purpose and the stu
alton remains unrelieved, the practi-
cal American people will make quick
work Of dlsmlssilg the quack and OF
calling in the true doctor. This is the
logic If The situation.
When Senator McEnery announces
that he il dis osed to support 4 Just
ana conservative tariff bill but that he
Will not give his vote nor lend his ard
to any other kind Of measure, lie sim
ply proclaims that, as an honest and
patriotic mar that lie is and always
has been, he Will use his best tudeay-
ors to obey the behests Of the Ameri-
can people, according to the best of
his ability and understanding. When
he announces that he will stand by
ttie interests Of this state and see to it
that under The new tariff dispensation
these interests will get that degree
Of protection that we Democrats have
always believed aud maintained they
are entitled TO, as incidental to Il
tariff levied tor revenue. he simply
acctniuates this we'll know fact that
he stands to day, as he has always
stood. for his people, tilst, last and all
the time.
And when a public man 50 acts lie il
not TO be ceusuled but commended.
and the time will come, III our humble
opinlnn. when those who o censure
Senator McEnery will regret it.
(Since writing the above the news
came from Washington that the Sen
ate Finance Committee had reported
Ie Dingley bill, so materially altered
as to be uueognizable. The new bill
is roundly denounced by representa-
tives Of all parties, ard the chances
are said to be distinctly against its
passage by the Senate. 1t is largely
sectional and partisan in the dIstribu
ton Of its benefits and for that reason
will aronse much a%ntagonlsm in va
rinas quarters.
Of it Senator McEnery is quoted as
saying:
"This bill does not suit me at all.
/ have not vet had time to consider II.
but from what | can see of its sched-
ules the impression it has left upon me
are anything but favorable. cannot
see how the producers of Louisiana or
any other State can be fayorably i'm
with it. The sugar schedule
is opposed TO all that they have con-
tended for, and ID my opinion is drawn
on lines iuimical to their industry. 1t
is a Sugar Trust schedule and not 4
z Woducer's schedule. The treat.
ment accorded TO our iice producers
in the new schedule also deserves
criticism. They do not deserve
it. | do not believe that tile bill az
reported will eve pass. 1t will raise
sach a storm Of opposition that its
trainers will be compelled to modify
it. The Senate committee has evolved
a bill which is conspicuous principally
in its Determinations against the
and the industries and interests |
of the South. 1t will have the effect
of making Louisiana more solidly
than ever."l
