DALTOJi, THURSDAY, DEC. 13, 1888.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
NEWSY PARAGRAPHS.
Our government has assumed a war
like attitude toward Hayti, and three
American gun-boats have been ordered
to the waters of that black republic.
The trouble has arisen from the seiz
ure, by the Haytian government, of a
United States ship, and the failure on
the part of that power to release it.
The President expresses a stunning
truth-when he says, “he mocks the peo
pie who proposes that the government
shall protect the rich and that they in
turn will care for the laboring poor.”
There certainly isn’t much reliance to
be placed on the paternal government
in which the fatherly care is to be ex
ercised by the millionaires.
When it is called to mind that the
grangers of the west were held to their
Bepublican alliance only by the prom
ise of tariff reform, the party managers
who will have to meet their obligations
to the tariff monopolists will "find that
the admission of new western states
with the object of perpetuating their
party power, is rather a hazardous ex
periment.
Thebe is a cooking school in Pitts
burg which is turning out an article of
boy cooks, warranted to be eqnal to
the feminine article in every particu
lar. This is cause for universal con
gratulation. The cook has always
been an important factor in the Ameri
can household. The feminine article
is capricious and uncertain. A m
reliable article is needed.
The popular vote in the recent' pres
idential election shows that the demo-
ocratic party, instead of losing ground
are growing in strength. According to
the returns President Cleveland’s plu
rality will be in the neighborhood of
100,000—nearly 40,000 greater than it
was four years ago. From this show
ing there is no reason for the demc
cratic party to be discouraged. It is
still healthy, vigorous and formidable,
and will be heard from again in 1892.
with victory floating from its banners
The News and the Journal of Chica
go continue their war against cigar
ettes. The News has had a number of
cigarettes of popular brands analyzed
The “smokers” were stripped of every
distinguished mark, each brand put in
a separate box, the lid of which was in
scribed with a letter, and the whole
lot then handed over to a well-known
chemist. He found that the cigarettes
submitted were generally made of to
bacco “imperfectly fermented,” and
that nearly all had an unnatural pro
portion of insoluble ash, that several
kinds were steeped in sn injurious
substance, and were impregnated with
dirt in varying proportions.
The French Republic is having a
hard .time of it between enemies with
in and enemies without its borders.
xxm'USoyuiisiB are becoming every day
more active, seeking an opportunity
for lostoration to power, and Oormiiny
and Italy have formed an aggravating
alliance, which the organ of the Italliau
War Offiice predicts will force France
to war. It is impossible for France to
deal with her enemies in other lands
until war has been declared, but she
would be justified in dealing harshly
with the Royalists, who are, to all
tents and purposes, traitors to the Gov
eminent, since they live under it, yet
seek its overthrow. They are not, it is
to be observed, opposed to the admin
istration, but to the form of govern
ment itself.
President Cleveland’s message
one of the grandest documents ever
issued by a Chief Executive. His tar
iff views are strong and pointed—they
have the ring of the true metal on that
subject. But in his tariff policy he is
only a little in advance of the age
The views he lays down in his message
on this question will be the policy of
this government so safely as that night
follows day—and that, too, in less than
a decade of years. This governmen
was not inaugurated for the benefit ot
the millionaires, the ripb manufactur
ers—for the purpose of making them
fr'iditer and the working classes poorer
The poor have rights, and in time they
will be righted, and righted at the
ballot-box by an overwhelming major
ity for tariff reform.
Biembsopajii Ala., was excited to
mob. violence for several days last
week. The body of Mrs. Hawes, who

Lake View Park, half a mile from the

Tha jvoman’s head was crushed in by
a heavy blow with an ax, and heavy
pieces of iron W&fP fastened about her
neck, waist and feet WfrPh the dis
covery was made the 9xcitemsut jn the
city became intense. Suspicion point
ed to the husband as the perpafcrator
of She horrible deed, who was arrested
jaod imprisoned. The excitement be
came more intense as developments of
bis guilt were made, and at night a fu
rious mob of several hundred advanced
on the jail for the purpose of taking
Hawes tbrefrom and lynching him. A
strong guard was placed about the jail,
who opened fire upon the advancing
mob, killing ten or twelve and wound
ing thirty others, some fatally. Anjopw
the killed was CoL Throckmorton, tfce
postmaster of the city. He was’ not
one of the mob—only a spectator,—.
Uatest advises say that the city is now
under military rule, several companies
having been sent there by the Governor
of the State to suppress the lawless opt-
ihreak, and that order has been some,
«vbat restored.
(From our Regular correspondent.)
Washington, Dec. 7,1888.
Senator Blackburn, owing to the
wide advertisement of his recent mis
understanding with Judge Rucker,
has been the center of attraction to the
visitors in the Senate gallery this week.
He positively refuses to talk about the
matter, but his friends regard -it as
ended—at least that is wfiat they. say.
Senator Harris, by a motion to lay
the Senate tariff bill on the table,
brought out the fact that the Republi
can Senators will vote solidly in favor
of that measure, notwithstanding the
fact that several of them are known to
be^bitteely opposed to certain sections
of the bill. Several explanations are
given for this action by parties who
profess to know. One is that Harrison
has stated that he wants the bill passed
at this session, and that those Republi
cans that are opposed to it are afraid
to vote against it, lest they thereby
lose their share of patronage under the
new administration; another is, that
they know the bill will not pass the
House and only vote for it to keep np
an appearance of harmony in the Re
publican ranks until after Harrison is
inaugurated, leaving the q-tarrel that
is Helidved by many people to be. inevi
table over the tariff, until the next ses-
■sion, when they will control both House
aDd Senate.
The President’s message was an able
statement of the position of the Demo
cratic party on the tariff and other
matters of importance; the ideas ex
pressed therein could not have been
improved. Statements like the follow
ing from the message are ponderous
with statesmanlike wisdom: “He mocks
the people who proposes that the-Gov-
ernment shall 'protect the rich, and
that they in turn will care for the labor
ing poor. Any intermediary between
the people and their government, or the
least delegation of the, care and pro
tection the Government owes to the
humblest citizen in the land, makes
the boast of free institutions a glitter
ing delusion and the pretended boon
of American citizenship a shameless
imposition.” “Extravagant appropria
tions of public money with all their
demoralizing consequences should not
be tolerated, either as a means of re
lieving the treasury of its present sur
plus, or as furnishing pretext for re
sisting a proper reduction in tariff
rates.” “It cannot be denied that the
selfish and private interests which are
so persistently heard when efforts are
made to deal in a just and comprehen
sive manner with oar tariff laws, are
related to, if they are not largely re
sponsible for, the sentiment largely
prevailing among the people, that the
eneral government is the fountain of
individual and private aid; that it
may be expected to relieve with
paternal care and distress of citizens
and communities, and from the fullness
of its treasury it should upon the slight
est possible pretext of promoting the
_eneral good, apply public funds
to tbe benefit of localities and individ
uals. Nor can it be denied that there
is a growing asBUQQptlOQ ttlftt ES E^[ElD6t
the Government and in favor of private
claims and interests, the usual rules
and limitations of business principles
and just dealings should be waived.
These ideas have been unhappily much
encouraged by legislative acquiescence.
Relief from contracts made with the
Government is too easily accorded ir
favor of the ettizen; the failure to sup
port claims against the government by
proof is often supplied by no better
consideration than the wealth of the
Government aud the poverty of the
claimant; gratui ties i n the form of pen-
si ons are granted upon no other real
ground than the needy condition of the
applicant, or for reasons less valid;
and large sums are expended for pub
lic buildings and other improvements
upon representations scarcely claimed
to be related to public needs and ne
cessities.”
The Honse yesterday, by unanimous
consent, took up the direct tax bilj,
which caused the long deadlock latt
spring. It is expeceed that it will be
passed, but hopes are expressed by its
opponents that Mr. Cleveland will
veto it.
Mr. Harrison’s backbone is likely to
suffer a severe strain between now and
the fourth of March* The Republican
leaders here have determined upon
having an extra session of the Fifty-
first Congress called to meet late in
March Qf early in April. There is not
the slightest necessity of extra ses
sion; the Republicans acknowledge
that their only object in having it call
ed is to gain the six Senators and as
many Representatives as South Dako
ta, Montana and Washington, when
admitted as States, shall be entitled to.
They have decided that owing to their
very narrow margin in both Houses,
this apR.on is necessary in order to en
able the new States tg organize and
send their Senators and Representa
tives in time for the beginning of tbe
regular December session. It remains
for Mr. Harrjson to decide if he will
allow his party leaders jtp compel him
to cajl a needless session far the sake
