THE TILLMAN-McLAURIN CASE.

1t is probable that there will be
notable debate in the Senate before
a decision as to the punishment to be
meted out to Senators TilTman and Nc
Laurin is reached. 1t is evident from
the tone of the dispatches from Wash
ington that there is feeling of much
bitterness among the Republican SEN
ators against Senator Tillman on ac-
count of the frequency with which he
makes charges of an uncomplimentary
character against them. There are
some of them who would willingly
vote for his expulsion. There is no
probability, however, that an effort
will be made to expel him, though
there seems to be no doubt that some
thing will be oone to show that, out
side of the McLaurin affair, his treat
ment of his fellow senators on the Re-
publican side is strongly disapproved.
1t is probable that the Republican
Senator's would like to save McLaurin
from any punishment whatever, but
they cannot consistently do that. 1t
may be that it will be thought ad-
visable to make no distinction in the
punishments of the offending senators.
Notwithstanding Senator Tilman's
rough manners he has some warm
friends on both sides of the Senate,
and they would resist strongly reso-
luton that provided a severer punish
ment for him than for Senator Nc
Laurin.
A thing on which Republican Sena-
tors make a strong point is that SEN
ator Tillman virtually charges that
President Mckinley bribed Senator
McLaurin to vote for the Paris treaty.
Senator Hanna particularly feels it in
cumbent upon him to show that his
friend was not guilty of doing what
Senator Tillman says he did. 1t would
not be surprising therefore If the Till
man charge, that Senator McLaurin
was bribed to vote for the
Paris treaty with the federal
patronage of his state should
be thoroughly Investigated. If Sem
ator Tillman were called on to
prove the charge he might find him
self in a very unpleasant position
Whatever course the Tlllman- -McLau-
rim affair takes it vii be full of in
terest. Indeed. there may be another
sensation or two in IL.

PROTECTION AGAINST TRAIN ROB
BEERS

.
1t is apparent that the government
will have to do something towards
preventing train robberies, if such rob-
berries are to cease. The means at the
disposal of most of the communities
in which these outrages are commit
ted are wholly inadequate for the pur-
suit and capture of train robbers. Be-
sides, the officers are compelled to call
on citizens to assist in running down
the robbers, and citizens do not feel
that the obligation resting upon them
to perform this sort of duty is very
great. Indeed, officers would have diff
ficulty in getting posses if it were not
for the promise of rewards.
The burden which these rewards i'm
pose upon the railroad and express
companies is very great. 1t is a bur-
den that they ought not to be required
to bear, if there is any way in which
it can be avoided. They pay their
share of the taxes, and are therefore
entitled to a full measure of protec-
tion.
OF course it cannot be said that the
number of these robberies of express
companies and travellers on railroads
will increase, but it is fair to assume
they will, if the impression is strength
ened that robberies can be committed
with comparative impunity.
In some localities state and county
authorities are still prompt to do their
duty when a train robbery is reported,
but it is said to be getting to be the
practice not to make a move in pur-
suit of the robbers until it is known
what the reward will be. And the size
of the reward doubtless has consid-
cradle to do with the zeal with which
the pursuit is conducted
The bill that is pending before the
Judiciary Committee of the House, Civ
ing the United States authorities the
same jurisdiction in cases of train rob-
bers, where passengers and express
companies are robbed, as they have in
cases where the mails are robbed, is
good one, and should receive the ap-
proval of Congress at an early day. It
seems to us that Congress should be
crime of train robbery. 1t is a crime
that is calculated to bring the nation
into disrepute in foreign countries. 1t
is not at all complimentary to have it
said in Europe that it is no safer to
travel in the United States than it is
in Bulgaria-that train robbers are as
bad as brigands. There ought to be
a vigorous effort to put stop to train
robbing, and the only way a concerted
| effort can be made in that direction is
for the general government to take
hold of the matter. 1t is worthy of no.
tice that it is seldom that the mails
are disturbed by train robbers now
| adays. That is because the robbers
| are afraid to disturb the mails. They
know that the government has un-
limited means at it's command and
that it will spare no expense to arrest
and punish them. Pass the pending
bill and a long step will have been
| taken in the direction of putting a
/ stop to train robberies

THE CONCESSION TO CUBA.

The concession of twenty per cent /,
which the Ways and Means Commit
tee has agreed to grant on Cuban
sugar, is not enough to give Cuba much
relief: and it is by no means certain
that Congress will grant even that.
1t is well known that the concession
was obtained only by the hardest kind
of work. Indeed, it is said that the
President made personal appeal to
the committee.
1t is the understanding that the
Speaker. Mr.. Henderson, is the leader
of the opposition to granting any con-
cessions. He is standing firmly with
the high protectionists against any
disturbance of the tariff whatever. He
takes the position that the sugar trust
will be the chief beneficiary of a con-
cession made to Cuba on her sugar.
and also that any disturbances of the
customs duties would likely bring on
demand for a general revision of the
tariff. Such a demand, in his opinion.
would be hurtful to the Republican
party on the eve of the congressional
elections.
1t is not improbable that the high
protectionists will be able to defeat
the 20 per cent. concession. II is GER
tain that they are going to oppose it.
and 1t may turn out that they will have
the majority of their party with them.
1t is too soon for the Cubans to re-
jo.ce over even so small a concession
as that proposed by the Ways and
Means Committee.

CURRENT COMMENT.

1t is of interest to note how the
newspapers comment on the Tillman-
McLaurin fight in. the Senate. Some
of them are rather INCLINED to excuse
McLaurin's fault, but practically with
out exception they condemn Tillman.
The New York Times Dem.) says:
I'VE think that the Senate would be
justified in expelling Mr.. Tillman of
South Carolina" AS to McLaurin, it
says: 1T might be said that his prov
ocation was great, and in the shame
full scene that ensued he could not be
expected not to defend himself against
blows by blows. 1t will be easy to
find some form of disapproval suited
to his case But mere disapproval is
quite inadequate to the case of Senator
Tillman." The Philadelphia Record
Oem.) says: For the assault of
Senator Tillman on his colleague, Sem
ator McLaurin, in /, the open Senate
there can be no palliation, and no
amount of verbal apology or abject-
ness can atone for the offense. Great
as was the insult. the Senate was the
last place for resenting IT by brute
force. The most effective punishment
of the offender would be for the sena>
tors to put him in coventry as unfit
for association with them; but the
truth is that on both sides they have
encouraged his escapades until at last
his insolence eliminated in this scan
dal" The Chattanooga Times CDem)
says: 1--WE do not in the least pity
the Senate as a whole. It's cowardice
is mainly responsible for the slur that
has been put upon It, by two of its
members" The Philadelphia Ledger
Und.) says: Senator McLaurin used
unparliamentary language likely to be
provocative of disorder. and apparent
ly fought with more vigor and eager
ness than self-defense required He
should be severely disciplined. Sena-
tor Tillman should be expelled. Dur
ing his entire career in the Senate he
has shown by his unmannerly. violent
and unseemly speech and demeanor
that he Is unfit to sit In the United
States Senate"
The New York Commercial Qnd)
says: "The South should set itself
the task of discovering millionalres'
soft-spots. They all have them. And
no doubt most OF them would give

But the trouble is that while we eat
enough and generally too much, the
stomach. from abuse and ovefwork,
does not properly digest and assiml-
late it, which is the reason so many
people remain thin and under weight;
the digestive organs do not completely
digest the fieshforming bee'steak ana
eggs and similar wholesome food.
There are thousands oe such who are
really confirmed dyspeptics, although
they may have no particular pain or
inconvenience from their stomachs.
If such persons would lay their preJ-
udices aside and make regular prac-
tice of taking after each meal, one or
two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets the
food would be quickly and thoroughly
digested, because these tablets contain
the natural peptones and diastase
which every weak stomach lacks, and
by supplying this want the stomach is
soon enabled to regain its natural tone
and vigor.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest
every form of sh-forming food, meat,
eggs, bread and potatoes, and this is
the. reason they so quickly build up,
strengthen and invigorate thin, dys-
peptic men, women and children.
Invalids and children. even the most
delicate, use them with marked benefit
as they contain no strong irritat ting
drugs. no cathartic nor any harmful
ingredient.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
most successful and most widely
known of any remedy for stomach
troubles because it is the most reason
able and scientific of modern medi-
cines.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
by every druggist in the United States
and Canada as well as in Great Brit
ain, at so cents for complete treatment.
Nothing further is required to cure
any stomach trouble or to make thin,

! A resolution that was introduced into
the lower branch of. the Mississippi
! Legislature a week or so ago by Hon.
! W. 5. McAllister of that body, pro-
posing that there should be an alliance
! between the South and the North and
! East, is attracting considerable COM
/ ment. Just now it is the understand
/ ing that the alliance of the Democracy
/ of the South is with the Democracy
/ OF the West.
In the last National Convention of
the Democratic party the South and
West stood together. If the South had
at that time formed an alliance with
the North and East it is probable that
the. Democratic platform would be diff
ferent from what it is in some import
ant particulars.
Mr.. McAllister's resolution is expect
ed to come up for action shortly. A
few days ago he was asked by the
Jackson (Miss.) News, why it was that
there was delay in bringing it up for
consideration He said that the rea-
son was that it was desired that the
members should understand it fully
He wanted the Democratic leaders to
investigate the situation thoroughly,
with the view of informing themselves
as to whether the policies of the North
ern and Eastern Democracy wouldn't
be better for the South than the poll
cies to which the Democracy of the
West seems inclined to adhere. He said
l.,
of the leading members of the Legisla-
ture and that he had no doubt that
the resolution would be adopted.
The McAllister resolution is an im-
portant one. There are differences be-
tween the Democracy of the West led
by Mr.. Bryan and the Democracy of
the North and East under the leader
ship of such men as Hill and Germany
If the South should throw her influ-
ence with the North and East that
wing of the party would triumph at it's
next National Convention. On the other
hand, if the South should stand by the
West the chances are that Mr.. Bryan
and those who are in sympathy with
his views would dictate the planks of
the next Democratic platform.
The Democratic leaders are begin
ming to make plans for the campaign
of 1904. The views of Northern and
Eastern Democrats were made known
at the Manhattan Club banquet on the
night of Feb. %. 1t is said that Mr..
Bryan, after having conferred with
Democrats in Ohio, is now discussing
the situation with those Democrats in
New York who are in sympathy with
the views of the Democrats of the
West. In an interview he is placed in
the position of saying that the men
who met at the Manhattan Club ban
quet can hardly expect to dominate in
the party's councils, in view of the fact
that so many of them Jagged in the
rear or carried flags to the Republican
headquarters in the campaigns of 1896
and 1900.
| The discussion of the McAllister res
olution in the Mississippi Legislature
may be of very interesting character.
Its adoption would indicate a nota-
BILE change in the attitude of the
Southern Demorcracy-a change that
would justify the prediction that the
Democratic platform of 1904 will be
radically different in several particu-
! lars, from that of 1900
