The radical position taken by Repre-
sentative Babcock, of Wisconsin, as to
the necessity for a revision OF the Ding
ley tariff, so as to put trust-controlled
products on the free list, has, in the
opinion of the hide-bound protection
list republicans, made it impossible for
Mr.. Babcock to be chairman of the re-
publican campaign committee in the
next campaign. Mr.. Babcock's friends
say that he decided not to continue as
chairman of that committee before he
publicly announced his intention on
the tariff. Democrats who have been
quietly keeping tab on the talk about
Mr.. Babcock's proposed tariff reform,
are decidedly pleased with the outlook
They believe that the question will
bring about q war IN the republican
party, compared with which the old
Stalwart and anti-Stalwart war will
seem child's play, and that the result
is bound to be beneficial to the demo
cratic party, not only because it will
hold the balance of power in congress,
but because there is a strong probable.
ity that it will cause the election Of the
next president. If Mr.. Babcock car
get the republican vote he claims, {
tariff reform bill along the lines he adj
yocates can be put through congress
with assistance of democratic votes, anC
Mr.. Mckinley can veto it if he dare.

The Jacksonville Horror.

Jacksonville, May 6.-The following
official statement was issued at 1890
o'clock tonight:
"fhe city of Jacksonville on Friday,
May 3, was visited by one of the most
horrible aud appalling calamities that
has eyer happened in any community
of modern times. About noon of the
day fire was discovered in a small
palmetto fibre factory in the extreme
western portion of the city. A high
wind was then blowing to the eastward,
carrying the flames ever the heads of
the iiremen. The fire spread with such
rapldity that our citizens had great
difficulty in leaving their homes and
places of business. In many cases
they barely escaped with their lives,
aud We regret to say that number
were burned to death or drowned in
their efforts to escape from the flames,
The number ut this time we have been
unable to ascertain, although five
bodies have been taken from the ruins,
and from ten to fifteen thousand PEG,
pie are homeless.
"The burned area extends east aud
west about two miles and north and
south varying from one-half to three
quarters of a mile. In this area was
situated the oldest and most populou'
portion of the city, embracing all classes
of people, high and low, rich and poor
The flames carried before them homes
churches and all the public buildings
save one. More than half of the bust
ness section was also consumed. The
property loss aggregates from $12, 900,
900 to $l5, 900, 900.

A Tennessee Soldiers, Home.

Tennessee furnished more troops to
the northern army than any other south
ern state, the total number of union
enlistments there being 81 600. There
were 8, 200 in Arkansas, 5000 in Louisi-
ana, 5000 in North Carolina and 1850
in Alabama. Many of the most impor-
tant battles of the civil war were fought
within the boundaries of Tennessee,
and there are now resident in il IS, 900
union war pensioners, the eastern COM
ties of Tennessee having furnished,
practically, all the recruits to the nor
thern army, and now including nearly
all the war pensioners of the federal
government from the state.
In the heart of what is known as the
mountain district of Tennessee, tena-
cious and courageous in its allegiance
to the Union, is johnson City, Wash
ingtOn county, 100 miles northeast of
Knoxville. Recently the board of man
ayers of the home for disabled volun-
teer soldiers decided to establish a
branch at Johnson City, the present
branches" as local soldiers homes
are called, being in Ohio, Wisconsin,
Maine, Virginia, Kansas, California,
Illinois and Indiana. There were 90,
900 disabled volunteer soldiers at these,
but there is now no home farther south
than Hampton, Va.
Since the close of the civil war there
has been. especially in Tennessee and
Texas, a considerable increase in the
number of former volunteer soldiers in
the northern army who haye found
homes in the south, and the PROPOSE
ton to establish a branch of the SOL
diers' home at johnson City is said to
haye the support Of volunteers gener-
ally New York Sun.

Watterson on Bryan.

There is radical difference between
recognizing existing conditions and of
being answerable for their existence.
We may regret the altered situation
raised up by the Spanish war. We may
as an original proposition, be averse to
the idea of outlying territory and all
this implies. We may have been shock.
ed by the Presidents change of policy
as to Porto Rico, by the scandals in
Cuba, by the laundering in Manila, but
we cannot deny that, for veal or woe,
we are in possession of Porto Rico and
the Philippines; that we are regnant
in Cuba, and that we must either pack
up and come away-and in doing SO
make confession of national impoten-
cy-or else, standing our ground, pro-
coed with the new and complicated OBJ
legations and duties incident thereto.
In abandoning the Philippines we
yield our vantage ground in the far
East, which is already become the CEN
ter of the strife of the powers for com
mercial supremacy. We make what
tn. world and the ages will hold an ig-
nominious and short-sighted surrender
for we are entering upon cycle of pure
commercialism, whose end will witness
the survival of the fttest; and since
when was any spirited people in
sensible either to money or empire?
Wrong. morally wrong" says Mr..
Bryan. Why, on that line all effort
which has gain for its object is wrong.
"Out of line with American traditions, 4"
says Mr.. Bryan. Why, every impor-
tant movement, from the Louisiana pur-
chase to the abolition of slavery, might
be SO described. But, right or wrong,
they are facts, and, as an organized
body, what shall the democratic party
do about them?
1t may be that we ought to deliver
up to the useless sacrifice of the flames
few more presidential elections in the
interest of a cause already lost. We
may be of the earth earthly, wanting
in grace: but, somehow, we cannot
help feeling that in this wicked world
it is substance, not shadow, that rules.

Another row is on over the purchase
of foreign made arms by the War De-
partment. The department ordered
the purchase of one-thousand German
magazine pistols, with the understand
ing that if, after practical test by the
army, they proved satisfactory, twenty
thousand more would be bought. This
brought vigorous protest from we'll
known American fre-arm company,
which claims to have pistol of Ameri-
can design and manufacture, in every
way as good as the German pistol or
dered to be purchased for the army,
and which the Board of Ordnance and
Fortifcations, which recommended the
German purchase did not even test.
The protest will not prevent the pur-
chase of The one-thousand German pis-
tolls, but it is likely to put a spoke in
the scheme to purchase twenty thou
sand more Of them. Every man wishes
our army to have the best equipments
TO be had, but no man with the right
sort of blood in him believes that for
eign equipments should be bought,
when as good can be had in this
country. This purchasing of foreign
made arms has long been touchy SUBJ

The Bristol Courier, referring edi-
torially to the recent Jacksonville fire,
which entailed a property loss of $15,-
900, 900, besides a number of lives,
makes the sensible statement that
mo expense that can be borne should
be left off by our municipalities in the
proper precautionary preparation for
safety of life and property from fire.
1t looks like useless expense until the
fire comes and then it looks more use
less to be half prepared for emergen-
cies. The meanest misery soul would
be ready to say it was wisdom to pre-
pare for storms while the calm was
with u.s."

Senator McLaurin may continue to
call himself a democrat if it pleases him
to do 80, but the fact that the distribu-
ton of the federal patronage of South
Carolina is in his hands, shows what
sort of democrat he is. The white
republicans of that state, who have mo-
nOpolized the federal offices for thirty
five years, except during the two Cleve-
land terms are doing mnch growing,
but those who are wanting re-appoint-
ment, are told that it is necessary for
them to have Senator McLaurin's en-
dorsement before they can get it. Not
little amusement was caused in
Washington when the news OF Senator
McLaurin's attempt to get ex-senator
Wade Hampton to throw his influence
to the administration movement in ex.
change for the office of postmaster al
Columbia. Gen. Hampton is q poor
man, and one of the reasons therefor il
that he never could be bought. That
was well-known in Washington through
Gen. Hampton's long and distinguish.
ed services in the senate, and as rail
road commissioner. This must have
been we'll known to Senator McLaurin
but having changed himself, he doubt
less imagined that Gen. Hampton had
also changed. he was quickly unde
ceived.

Every word of which is gospel truth.

Is the administration responsible for
the outbreak of iingoism against Ger
many, just now figuring in some of
the big newspapers? That question has
been asked very frequently In Wash
ington Of late, and not few answers
have been in the affirmative, although
what purpose of the administration
would be served by war scare or an
actual war with Germany or any other
nation, is not apparent, unless it be q
scheme to work up public opinion in
favor of congressional legislation for
an increase in our navy. II is certain,
however, that men very close to the ad-
ministration are doing their best to in
crease the talk about Germany's inten-
ton to grab one or more of the little
repuDllcs ON TINS continent, regardless
Of the Monroe doctrine. This is play
ing with dynamite. 1t is not probable
that Germany wants a war with us, and
it is absolutely certain that we don't
want war with Germany, but it is
easily possible for fool talk here and in
Germany to get the two peoples SO
wrought up that some little incident,
which under ordinary circumstances
would amount to nothing, might bring
on one Of the most costly wars ever
fought.
