Congressman and Senator-elect Money
IS supposed to be loaded with information
with regard to Cuba, which he will give
to the House the next time the Cuban mat
ter is before that body. If the supposition
is correct, Mr.. Money has done a bad
thing for his colleagues. For he was alb
sent from Washington only a few days,
and his success in gathering information
would tend to institute invidious comparl-
sons between the private trip after infor-
nation and the congressional junket, the
one taking only few days and the other
occupying weeks and months.

When Wade Hampton was governor of
South Carolina in 1878 he and Hugh S.
Thompson, who became governor in 1852,
agreed to divide the time at certain big
"speakin'." says the New York Press.

whereupon Thompson protested warmly.

clares that it is not impossible for the dis
ease to gain an entrance into this country.
The bacillus, he says, can survive an ocean
voyage, and unless the coolle trade be-
tween China and the Sandwich islands
is stopped, the disease is likely to appear
in San Francisco al any time.

Fnir Field and No Favor.
From the Birmingham News Dem.

The south does not need protection. It
wants. as far as practicable. an open
market with all the world. Its products
are for sale in the "uttermost parts Of
the earth" and it desires trade from
everywhere. The south can take care of
itself. The east should be made to do
the same. and no tariff except for revenue
strictly should be exacted.

CURRENT COMMENT.
Hurt One, Hurt All.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat Dem)
We are now having additional proof
of the fact that what hurts one part of
the country hurts all in time. When the
present crisis began there was an idea
that it might be confined to the west, and
not affect other sections; but that idea
we must now abandon. All parts of the
United States are equal sufferers in the
prevailing depression; and all, we have
reason to hope, will revive together.

die. Still, there might be a little common

tense of increasing the revenue by giving

absurd even for an average protectionist.
