Caricaturing the Irish.
Mobile Register

MODile ReglSter.
 We believe much can be accomplished by proper effort. now about to be 'un- dertaken, on the part of the Irish soCie- ties to discountenance caricature of Irish traits by newspaper cartoonists and com edy actQTs. There can be no objection to the portrayal of Irish character as 1t exists. There is vein of humor in the Irish race that is tho worlds ornament. and therc is no reason why the Pats and Colleens should not continue to provoke laughter on the stage and in the public prints but that the Irish should be made the hut of ridicule saddled with every verbal slip and made to appear the most stupid of humans. Is wrong that must h, protested az linst. The Americans iE- herited the caricature habit from the English and for general tions the English have been using the Irish as the object of their satire. ""en as the Germans have been using Jews, and this Is done with out any thought of what may be the feelings of tho individual sat,ri:cd. It Is charitable to suppose that the satirists imagine that their victims have no feel ngs; but, whether they imagine IL or not they proceed upon so'n& such hypothesis. and the comic papers and the comic plays are full of gross caricature of the best hearted. most loving and most deserving Irople. Such caricatures. either nictn"el or in words. have not within our mem ory been admitted to our columns. THis y as our practical protest against the in- justice of holding whole race of peo- pie up to ridicule. We have hope now that. when the subject is brought to gen. craI attention. the injustice will be gem erallN recognized. and that the support the minimizing support-Gven to the car icaturists will be withdrawn. The man whc draws pictures and invents crude jokes or plans a monkey and puts 1t on the stage labeled Irisiman. will very soon feel inc effect of any widespread protest against his work. He must please the public or his occupation is gone.

oleomargarine tvs. Butter.
Editor The Advertiser:


 Editor The Advertiser:
 l have observed for sometime your leanings against the oleomargarine bill, and was not surprised at the decided stand you took against 1t in your issue of May f. l much regret that great fee bleness of health prevents my making a full reply to your criticisms. However, you have done such manifest injustice to this bil that l am constrained to call your attention to 1t and ask for cor cection. Some two or three weeks since you published fake special, sent by your Washington correspondent, in which 1t was stated that butter had advanced 10 cents per pound on account of the pas sage of the bill through the Senate, while, In fact, butter had not advanced one cent. But no correction.
 In the next place. m your issue refer red to above, you assert that the effect of the act is already seen in the en- hanced price of butter even while the bill Is in the hands of the President" In this you are badly mistaken. as the price of butter has declined s cents per pound in the past two weeks, and cents in the last week. l enclose you reliable quota markets. Every we'll informed mal knows that the great drought of last year. in the Northern States. caused a great scarcity of animal food. So the winter production of butter was Mrgely cui tailed and the price advanced accord
  Ing a generous bite" the eyer faithful COW Is filling the milk pails and butter resumes its normal relation to supply and demand"
 Next you say 'If We had Grover Cleveland in the Presidential chair. such a law could not get on the statute books. Mir. Editor. in thus referring to this dis tinguished gentleman, you do him great injustice. unless he has eaten the words so vigorously uttered by him some years ago. And no one has yet accused him of that.
 beg to refer you to the reasons given by President Cleveland in 1886. when he so cheerfully approved the first oleomar- garine act, showing that he. the Great President was the first to aid in placing oppressive legislation. as to oleomarga- rine, upon our statute books. If l re- member alright. he jumped on the oleo folks with both feet. and spoke of their dealings as fraudulent, using that strong English characteristic of the man.
 What he really said is on record easi- lv found by you, and appeal to you. MT. Editor in justice to MT. Cleveland. if not to the infant dairy interests of your section. to publish what he did say of this miserable fraud. M.

AN INpEFENsIpLE AcT.

Governor Jeff Davis of Arkansas, whose only claim to greatness seems to rest on his possession of name dear to all our people. has just added finishing touch to his various other claims to fame of cer- taip kind sy his pardon of the negro Thompson. an account of which was pub lished in The Advertiser Wednesday morning It will he re nembered that tnis pardon was granted Thompson "on condi- sion that he become within the next thirty days A citizen of Massachusetts.
 Ii is humiiiating that any Southern Gov ernor should do an official act which is not only ridiculous and indefensiole or itself. but which will be seized on by many people in the North as foundation ,,,,on which to build superstructure Of ,,d,c,,Ie and unfavorable criticism of the South generally. We hold In the hrst pIace that to pardon a criminal on condl- tion that he leave the State is wrong in tbeory and in practice. If he does not deserve a pardon, he should not receive {. on any such condition as that he must Lave the State. It is virtually saying to him. ..You are still criminal. but if xcu will betake yourself and your crime to another State. you can go. IL IS l,.~.,Iv another way of saddling our crim- sr.,s m others and of making neighbor- srs commonwealth sort of Botany Bay sor undesirable citizens. There is no moral defence for such a proceeding and fhere should be no legal authority for noing it.
 The Arkansas case is without defence of any kind. It was an exhibition of spite and malice entirely beneath the dignity pf d Governor. It matters not what opin- ion the people of Massachusetts may have of the negro. or what opinion the Gov ernor of Arkansas has of those people. He ought to have had more regard for the dignity of his office than to use it as D means of exhibiting the malignity of a very contracted intelligence. Thompson was a criminal deserving the punishment Rdjudged him, or he was not If he was the former he should have served the term allotted him. and is he was not con- sidered deserving of punishment he should have Teen pardoned uncondition- ally. Governor Davis aas no more right to sbanish him to Massachusetts. If he is . criminal. than he had to saddle him on Alabama. He has made himself ridicu- lots and the ridlcule will in part rest on Arkansas and on the South. He has brought just ridicule on himself and on { the l.onorcd name he bears, and the news papsrssof his own State should repudiatc his act,

THE REPUBLICANS
Are Jubilant Over Tillman's, Last
 Performance.

Washington Special to Chicago Tribune.
 "On your honor as 6 Senator and in the name of ordinary friendship appeal to you to know how much the Republi- cans have paid that old fool from South Carolina for making this speech? was

 You go straight. plum to hades," was the astonishing remark of the distin- guished and aged Southern Senator, and thiS was about as near as any one of the Democrats came to expressing coher- ent opinion on Tillman's speech.
 To show their disapproval of their col leagues remarks every Democrat In the Senate arose while MT, Tillman was talk the speech was ended.
 The Democrats fully realize that TIL mans speech Is the best possible cam paign material .he Rep1blicsns have dis Republicans have already eoncluded to circulate 1t as campaign document and 1t Is said the first order will be for o.OV.- 00o copies to be distributed throughout the Northern States
 While the Democratic Senators were congregated in the cloakroon one of the well known Republican 1enators mingled with tho crowd and was surprised to find that the Democrats actually believed the Republicans had Intentionally stirred up 'Tillman to make an incendlary speech so they could make political capital out of it.
 Over on the House side there was great indignation and many of the Democrats expressed the theory that If the Republi- cans circulated Tillman's speech freely in the North that one document would en- able them to retain control of the House If Representatives. in spite of the gener- ally expressed opinion that the Democrats would have a majority fin the next House.

 McLaurinS desertion of his party in support or such Republican measures as the snip subsidy bpl his acceptance of and other similar acts left him without supstantial following-Jn in his own State. IL has been claimed that a revolution SI sentiment in favor of the policies and ooetrines which McLauri.l hss embraced was formulating in South Carolina. This IS true in part only. The so-called revo- luton amounted to nothing more than a protest against Tillman's dictatorship. Sne old line politicians whom the senior senator had forced into retirement were
 willing to follow any leadership that promised to dispose of Tillman That was the extent of McLaurin's following
 Younger men. including Governor Me sweeney, discerned that McLaurin's can- aidacy would simply serve as an aid to lnImans plans and they have persuaded Mci.aurin to step aside.
