The New Orleans Picayune de.
clares that Notwithstanding "no pres
idcnt was ever so antagonizcd, hated
and opposed BY the Southern Demo-
cratic party leaders as was and is
Mr.. Cleveland" he has done more
for the Southern people and states
"than has any chief magistrate of
the United States since any of the
presidents have been elected from
the South, and the last of these was
General Taylor, who died in a year
after his inauguration"
The Express and Standard thinks
MIR. Mansur's experience in the GUS
tom house makes him particularly
we'll prepared for the duties of col
lector, but there is a healthy element
in Vermont that is looking for men
less experienced and less tenacious
in office-holding to fill an office or
two. All the talk about the collect
orship will not greatly affect the re-
suit one way or the other, but there
has been enough said to show that
there is something in the nature of Il
revolt against perennial otfice-scek-

assuming large proportions.

Driving Out the Mocling birds and A.
taeking Anything In Sight.
The little English sparrow is becom-
ing SO numerous that there is con-
siderable discussion about adopting
methods Of getting rid of the pest.
They are here, says the Galveston
News, by the thousands and are re-
markable for their fecundity, as they
lay from five to six eggs each sit
ting and raise three broods a year.
They are no longer considered insec-
tiverous, and owing to their pugnacious
habits, making war upon the birds that
are desired and destroying their cggs,
as well rs making themselves obnox-
ious in great many ways, and with
their rapidly increasing numbers, their
determination viii be a matter of .
serious nature here at an early date.
Other towns are doubtless experiencing
trouble with them, as the bird is mi
gratory in pairs, settling only where
there is habitation and springing into
the thousands like a mushroom. A
prominent citizen here who has a num-
Der Of mocking birds in the trees and
shrubbery in his yard, and who has
time and again watched the onslaughts
Of this vicious little bird with an inva-
riable victory, states that it will be
question sooner or later Of state legis.
lation by offering bounty for them.
They were introduced into Australia
about the same time as their introduc-
ton into the United States for the
same purpose Of destroying the tree

The Powers Showing q Strong Hand in
the Cretan Trouble.
PARIS, March 1.-THE following
semi-official announcement was made
this afternoon:
The powers, while united in principle,
have not yet been able to reach solI-
ton of the Cretan question. Proposals
and objections are being exchanged
hourly. The program drawn up by
the admirals in Cretau waters is as
follows:
First-A blockade of the island OF
Crete.
Second-A blockade of the Piraeus
and some other Greek ports.
Third-Seizure by detachment of
the feet of the telegraph offices at
Syra.
Fourth-Any Greek warships en-
countered are to be taken to the island
of Milo and kept there.
Fiith-Any Greek warships firing on
any foreign warship are to be sunk,
and the act to be considered a casus
belli.
Sixth-Any Greek torpedo-boat near
ing foreign warship is to be fred at.
Seventh-As the blockade of Greece
will require all the crews of foreign
warships, each power is to send to
Crete battalion of infantry of not
less than 900 men in number.
Each OF the foreign admirals tele-
graphed copy of these proposals to
his government. and most of the
powers acquiesced in the movement.

Added to IT,

Agricultural Societies Will Probably be
Added io 1t.
SALEM, Or, March 13.-The agricul.
tural societies will probably be in.
cluded in the list of claimants against
the state that the secretary of the state
will not recognize because of no az
preparation for the present biennial
term. The agricultural boards will
probably contend that they are on the
same footing as the state university
and the militia, the act creating them
carrying perpetual appropriation.
The wording of the clause upon which
they depend is: "There is hereby ap-
propriated annually, out of any money
in the state treasury not otherwise ap-
propriated, the sum of So" etc.
Notwithstanding the wording Of the
act, the agricultural appropriations
appear in the general appropriation
bills, which is not the case with the
university and militia. 1t would seem
that past legislatures have considered
the university and militia acts carried
their appropriations, while they at
least had some doubts about the
agricultural societies. There are
four OF these societies and their ap-
preparations by the legislature two
years ago aggregated $4,000

HAVANA, via Key West, March a.
Weyler has forwarded to Spain, for ap
proval of the courts, the public budget
bill amounting to s35, 900, 900, in addi.
ton to an appropriation bill. reaching
s93, 100000. The latter bill, it is said,
will be carried through to meet the
extraordinary expenses of the army
and navy incurred on account of the
Cuban insurrection. The income for
the new fiscal year, beginning in July,
will hardly reach 100000, which
amount will shrink considerably should
the proposed treaty with the United
States be carried out. Therefore, there
will be an enormous deficit, reaching
nearly 800, ,0O0, 900, to meet which the
Madrid cortes must decree new taxes
to Spain or call for another public
loan to meet the interest on the same.
The personal tax will be renewed. 1t
is reported here that Captain General
Polajava, in the Philippines, resigned
on account of the failure of the govern
ment to send him 10000 men, and not
on account of his health.
General Weyler has issued orders to
the military commanders in cities and
towns to expel all families which have
any relatives in the insurgent lines.

THE NEW TARIFF.
A Correspondent Says :t Will Produce
$4,000, 900 Additional

| A Correspondent Says :t Will Produce
$4,000, 900 additional.
CHICAGO, March 13.-The Times
Herald publishes the complete schedule
of the new Dingley tariff law from its
Washington correspondent, Walter
Wellman. The new tariff bill is con-
ceded TO be the most complete legisla-
tive act submitted to the American
congress in a quarter of century.
Boldly meeting the situation, the re-
publican members of the ways and
means committee declare in the title
that their bill is Gan act to provide
revenue for the government and to pro-
tect the industries of the United
States"
The law, if enacted as given, is ex-
pected by members of the committee
to produce an additional revenue of be-
tween $50, 900, 900 and SIC, ,OOO, 900 year
Estimates vary from the highest to the
lowest OF these figures.
The chief addition to the revenue is
expected from the increase of the sugar
duties. From this source alone an ad-
ditional revenue of about $27, ,000, 900 is
anticipated by Chairman Dingley.
Wool is another source of new rev.
enue. 1t is estimated that the restora-
tion of the wool duties will provide ar
increase of s14 ,0O00O0,in the receipts of
the government. The restoration of
the Mckinley rates on lumber and
timber will add another pretty sum.
The fax, jute and hemp and sundries
schedule will add perhaps s., 100000 or
S., ,0Oo, 900.
Each of the other schedules, with
few exceptions, is expected to con-
tribute its quota to the increase OF rev.
enue, the total increase being so dis
tributed as to fall lightly upon any
class of customers, while the benefits
to be derived from the protective
features of the law are also distributed
to all lines of business and to all Sec
tions of the country.

Bill Against the American Tobacco Com
| pany Dismissed.
TRENTON, N. J., March 12.-Vice
Chancellor Reed this morning filet
with the clerk of the court of chancery
decision dismissing the bill brough
against the American Tobacco Com
pany.
A syllabus of the opinion is a:
follows:
First-The court of equity does moi
possess the power to restrain corpor'
alton organized under the forms of Law
from performing acts within its cor.
porate power merely because some
steps taken in organizing the corpora
tion may haYe been irregular or be-
cause the purpose of the incorporators
may have been to establish monopoly.
Second-Under these conditions quo
warranto is an appropriate proceeding
to challenge the right of the corpora
tion to exercise its franchise.
Third-A trading or manufacturing
corporation, until its charter is an
nulled by such proceedings at law, has
the same authority as the individual
trader or manufacturer to sell or con-
sign its goods. to select its selling
agents aud impose conditions as to
whom it shall sell and terms upon
which it will sell.
Fourth-A decree restraining officers
and agents of the corporation from ex-
ecuting its corporate powers is the
same as decree enjoining the corpor-
alton itself.
The suit was brought jointly in the
name of the attorney-general and Mil
ler Brothers, tobacco-dealers, of New
ark, for the purpose of restraining the
tobacco trust from conducting business
in manner prejudicial to the COM
plainants and injurious to the people
of New Jersey.

Greece PreparIng For the worst.

ATHENS, March 15.-The receipt Of
the news from Paris has caused pes

sition and await the blockade. 1t is
generally believed the enforcement Of
the blockade will be q signal for con-
fiict on the frontier. A dispatch from
Heraclion, Crete, says that, owing to
the excesses of the Mussulmans, the
consuls have asked the admirals to
land detachment of marines there.

reason generally assigned was jealousy
on the part of the husband. Last even
