A CONSERVATIVE TARIFF PLANK.

A CONSERVATIVE TARIFF PLANK.
In view of the prominence of Senator
German as a presidential candidate 1t
is but natural that what he says that
bears upon the approaching presiden-
tial contest should receive a great deaf
Of attention. In an interview in the
Baltimore Sun the other day he said,
practically. that tariff reform would be
the most important issue In the cam
paign next year. and that the Demo-
Gratis ought TO put the tariff plank of
their platform of 1884 In their next
platform.
II will be recalled that that plank
was an extremely conservative one. 1t
did not IN the least alarm the bust
ness interests of the country. AS Sem
ator German pointed out, in order to
win the election the Democrats must
have the confidence of the business in
terests. There is no doubt that the
business sense of the country is that
the tariff should be reformed. It is
now a shelter for many trusts, and
besides, 1t obstructs business in many
ways. But there should be no such
radical changes as would wreck bust
ness undertakings.
The tariff plank of the platform to
which Senator German calls attention
would not cause uneasiness to any In
terests, and at the same time II would
give assurances of such q reform of
tho tariff az W0uId he helDful 70 the
country. OF course If that plank were
made a part OF the Democratic plat
form next year the Republicans would
try to make 1t appear that no reform
simply meant to conceal the real pur-
pose of the party. That was the course
adopted in 1884, but the people put the
Democratic party in power and they
got a good administration. Senator
German is of the opinion that they
would put 1t In power again If a sim
liar promise respecting tariff legisla-
ton were made.
1t is worthy of notice that there is
one thing Senator Germans talks, since
his return from Europe is doing, and
that is assisting Democrats to get to-
gether. He Is shrewd leader, and
unless the efforts to keep the factions
apart are greater than they now prom
Use to be he will have harmony in the
ranks of the Democracy before the cleo
lions for delegates to the next Demo-
cratic National Convention begin.

THE MANY HOMICIDEs.

There is scarcely a day on which
there does not appear in the newspa-
pers an account of a homicide. Gen
orally the cause of the killing is i'll
feeling that had its origin In a misun-
derstanding that occurred months, per-
haps years, before the tragedy. The
Smith-Pope shooting at Midwife on
Monday, in which Smith lost his life,
was due to something that occurred
several years ago. If there had been
an honest effort made to reach an I'M
Outstanding It Is probable that the
difficulty which has brought mourning
into the family of one Of the princi-
pals of the tragedy and anguish into
the family of the other could have
been avoided.
Few realize the number of homicides
in this country. A statement was made
the New York World few days ago
in regard to this matter that excited
widespread comment. 1t was that
the number OF homicides of all grades
for the last three years, "reckoned
ON the average of the last reported
year. exceeding by 10000 the total of
British killed (22,OOO) in the three
years Boer war" When this state
ment appeared there was a disposition
TO doubt 1t, but investigation. accord
ing to a correspondent, showed 1t to
| be correct.
There are. II seems, therefore, more
than 10000 homicides in this country a
year, and doubtless the most of them
are without Justification. And how
few Of those guilty of taking human
life unlawfully are punished!
Does not this great number of hon.
icides annually show that there is an
appalling disregard for human life?
II looks az If there were many people
in all ports Of this country who think
no more OF killing human beings than
they do of killing wild beasts.
Is this wholesale killing of human
beings due TO the fact that the sacred
ness of human life isn't properly i'm
pressed upon the people. together with
the lack OF fear of punishment for
murder and attempts at murder7 The
record Is a fearful one, and should ar
rest the attention Of all who have the
good of society and of the country al
heart.

The ROvnI Bengal.

Soon after her marriage says the New
York News, Lillian Bell was invited to
be the guest of honor at a big reoep-
ton given by the Ohio Federation OF
Women's Clubs, and her husband with
exemplary devotion, also went, to be
swamped in the mass of womankind
When the affair was about half over
Mr.. Bogue came across another man,
who said alphabetically:
rs you wife a club woman? Mine
is, and that's why / am here"
Mr.. Bogue replied that his wife did
not belong to the club, and the strang-
er went on:
"Is that the row of Tionesses UP
there?"
Mr.. Bogue said it was.
Which Is the Royal Bengal?"
"The one standing next to the presi-
dent"
At the close of the conversation the
stranger said: I'm only club hus-
band, but If your wife isn't a club
woman, how do you come to be here %
oh" said Mr.. Bogue, I'm the hus-
band of the Royal Bengal"

Perhaps the tersest and most effec-
tive election speech eyer made, says I.
Ps Weekly, was that of Mr.. John Peel
at Accrington, when at last and after
the most urgent solicitation he was In
duced TO address there the electors of
northeast Lancashire. Men of Ac-
crington, if you are so backward in
coming forward, we shall all be be
hind as we were before" The only de-
liverance comparable with this In
terseness and effectiveness was the
sermon of Dean Swift's which, taking
as It's text, He that giveth to the poor
lendeth to the Lord" began and ended
thus: Brethren, If you like the se-
curity, down with the DUST"

Georgia, says of the man who laid on
the lash: He should be indicted and
prosecuted to the utmost limit of the

not know that the law authorizes fog
ging, and that the warden was within
his rights when he piled the whip.
However, he has been indicted before
the court Of public opinion, tried, found
guilty of brutality and punished to
the fullest extent that it is possible
to infiict punishment upon him. Now
1t remains for the people to force the
reformation of the system.

The probably fatal cutting OF ne
gro man by a negro woman at Isle of
Hope on Monday afternoon, and the
escape of the blood-covered assailant,
Notwithstanding there were twenty or
thirty negro men standing by. who
never moved a step towards arresting
the Nould-be murderess, illustrates
condition Of affairs among the colored
people that propagates crime. A ne
gro man who was present and near
enough to have caught hold OF the
woman was asked why he did not en-
deavor to prevent her from leaving
His reply was: IF l had stopped dat
woman all de niggers from town to
Isle Of Hope would be hunting for me
wild Calling guns" What he meant
was that any negro man who caused
the arrest of one of his color might
look for trouble from his own race.
And he was doubtless correct. AS
rule no negro will help enforce the law
upon another negro, although the
crime committed be against one Of the
race. He cannot, or will not, see that
those who would have the protection
of the law must help enforce the law.
He cannot understand that without
law he Of all others would suffer most,
for the reason that he is the most
helpless. Had a similar tragedy oc-
CURED in a crowd Of white men, the
assailant would not have been per-
mitted to walk away. There would
have been men In the crowd who would
have made it their business to repre-
sent the power of the law temporarily,
until the arrival of officers.

CHAMDERLAIN'S REMARKABI.E
STATEMENT.

In our dispatches yesterday Mr..
Joseph Chamberlain, the British CO.
lonial Secretary, was quoted as say
Ing that there was nothing in his
tariff reform policy that called for the
taxing OF raw materials or that would
increase the cost of living. In view
of this statement It is not at all re-
markable that there is the greatest
interest In his forthcoming speech on
his tariff policy. 1t is to be delivered
in October. and 1t is the subject of a
vast deal of speculation.
If Mr.. Chamberlain's tariff reform
policy will not lessen the ability of
manufacturers to compete in the mar
kets Of the world and will not IN
crease the cost of the workingman's
dinner what is the objection to 1t?
The entire population of England is
stirred up by 1t, and 1t is said that the
outlook is that 1t win divide the minis
try and the party in power. It is diff
flcult 10 see how this can be 50 If Mr..
Chamberlain has been quoted correct
ly. 1t is true that he said, when he
announced his tariff reform policy,
that 1t was not his purpose to advo-
cate taxing raw materials, but It was
clearly understood that his policy in
cluded taxing breadstuffs and pro-
visions, though not when imported
from British colonies.
1t may be that MT. Chamberlain
means in his latest deliverance that
the colonies WIN be able to supply all
of the breadstuff and provisions that
the English markets require If that
is the case he did not so state when
he announced his policy
1t may be that ne Is finding the tide
of pubic sentiment running so strong
ly against him that he has thought It
advisable to hedge little. AS far as
can be discovered from the public
prints the great majority of the Eng
fish people are against his tariff re-
form policy, mainly on the ground that
II adopted the result would be an in
crease in the cost of living Surely
there could not have been such a wide
spread misunderstanding of his mean
| ing.
But If what he says now Is under
stood then he did not make his mean
ing clear in the announcement of his
policy or else he has changed his
policy somewhat. This latest declara-
ton only makes the desire to hear his
October deliverance all the more keen.

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, July 31.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady at unchanged prices
10 an advance of points and ruled
irregular during the entire session. At
nrst there was considerable firmness,
with August selling up to 12.35c on the
call on covering, while the late months
were sustained by the continued heavy
rains which were reported more or
less generally over the belt Shortly
after the call, however, the entire list
turned weak, with August in SYM
pathy with outside market. Liverpool,
which at the time of the local opening
was about in line with expectations,
turned easier later, and New Orleans
also showed weakness. This and the
apparent lack of clique support of the
near months gave the entire list a de-
Ginning tendency, which extended to
from 25Q40 points below the closing
prices of last night; with August SELL
ing at 11.95c. Being the last day in
the month, there was no trading in
July after midday, and during the
morning one sale of that position was
reported at 12.40c, a decline of 100
points from the closing figures of the
previous night. Just before midday
further kilograms were received tell
ing of more rains and damage in the
cotton belt, and prices again worked
upward, with brokers said to be rep
resenting the clique bidders for July
around 12c. The recovery carried prices
back to nearly the best of the morn
ing on the late positions, but was
followed by another break, led by Au
gust, which declined to 11.S5c, and dur
ing the balance of the session the en-
tire market ruled very irregular. Au-
gust was two or three times bid up
to lie, closing at 11.97c, net decline
of 70 points, while the new crop op-
lions We're at practically the low point
of the session, and showed a net de-
cline of from. 1@6 points, with the
exception of March, which was l point
higher. 1t was the first notice day
for August, and notices were out to
the amount of some two or three thou
sand bales. The notices were issued
by various houses, and it was report
ed that some at least were put out
by brokers supposed to represent the
clique. However this may be, they
were not promptly stopped, and oper-
ated s>gainst the price of August in the
0oen NrosJIet.
TIE price of cotton-spot-was
marked down 40 points to correspond
more nearly with the quotation for
August, which is now the spot month,
but this reduction was not considered
specially significant for the time be-
ing.
