It is astonishing to observe what
-world of gratification the Republicans
derive, or pretend to derive, from the
solitary free-trade feature of the Mc
Kinley bill, namely, the removal of the
duty from raw sugar.
Doctor Tai.madok, of Brooklyn, lias
astonished the uatives by cutting off his
-well known side wlilskors. Monday's
Hew York Herald gives It as a most
" .sensational piece of news under quad
ruple headlines. His resembience to
Henry Clay Is now said to be complete
In all respects.
The New York papers claim that the
problem of street sweeping about which
such a bowl has been going up, lias been
practically settled by the ladies, who are
sweeping the street, with the long skirts
of this season's dresses. Thus these ar
ticle. of feminine drapery are useful as
well as ornamental.
Amoxu other foolish measures that
failed of enactment in the Minnesota
legislature was one to compel every ar
ticle la every paper published in that
•tate to be signed by the writer. A
more nonsensical idea was never before
shaped into a bill. The names of tlie
writer, ot every article that now appear
«an be had whenever legal or personal
redress Ja demanded of the publisher.
, It is said that prominent Alliance
^leader.lV'Kansai are paving the way for
the retuni of the Alliance to the Repub
lican fold. They say that they will go
Into n third party movement If the al-
ltancemen of the south will go with
them, but that they will not lead a third
party movement merely to elect a Dem
ocratic president. If they have to choose
between the existing parties, they will
go to the Republicans.
Majoii J. F. Hanho.x, one of the
brainiest and most progressive men of
Georgia must feel awfully lonesome as
the only protectionist in Georgia. He
can probably come nearer making the
wone|nppoar the better reason than any
man who will apeak at the banquet of-
the protective tariff league in New York
next week. It la n pity that so able a
man and so eloquent and forcible speak
er should be wasting his energies fight
ing agalnt the inevitable. If there la
any one thing upon which the large ma
jority of the American people la deter
mined, it la tariff reform, aa near an ap
proach to free trade as can be accom
plished, with the necessary expenses of
an economically administered govern
ment to be provided for ont of the Im
posts. Tariff reform is the watchword
now, and any man who opposes the cur
rent Is fighting against hopeless odds.
The Minnesota legislature has ad
journed, and one of Its last sots was to
dofeat by a decisive vote the bill to com
pel the pretty chorus girls to wear long
dresses on the stage. No insignificant
piece of legislation has caused such an
uproar and produced more comment as
tills “antl-tlgbts" bill, and Its death
knell was really sounded last week when
a dramatic company In St. l’aul bur
lesqued the bill In the presence of the
whole legislature, by having nil the bal
let girls appear In bloomers, and the
legs of the chairs and pianos also mod
estly draped to avoid shocking the deli
cate sensibilities of the legislative
prudes. So great was the ridicule heap
ed upon the bill that it waa laughed to
death like nil attempts at reformation
by legislative enactment will be, when
not backed up by a healthy pablle sen
timent which demands the law. It is
safe to say that as long as '‘the human
*orm divine” sees fit to display Us lines
of feminine beauty and grace upon the
stage in stockinet, just so long will any
attempt to legislate against It be a waste
of time. Ths present age is swinging to
the opposite extreme from the ascetlsm
and Puritanism of tho former nsera
tton, and until the poodnlnm of time
•tarts bcek again nothing can . atop It*
progress. ’.•ft*’
t/j,A
THE ALLIANCE AND POLITICS.
It Is to be feared that the predictions
may too soon be realized concerning the
trouble in the ranks of the Farmers' Al
liance on the question of politics.
While the southern alilancemcn real
ize that the social and moral salvation of
tills section depends upon the absolute
solidity of the white people in one
party, under whatever name it may go,
the different conditions in the West do
not emphasize this necessity so strongly;
and tiie farmers feel disposed to cut
loose from both parties and form a third
party to carry out Alliance principles.
Trained from childhood to hate the
name of Democracy, and feeling a thor
ough disgust for tlie present manage
ment of the Republican party, they see
no alternative hut to go outside the
party lines as now- organized, to seek
for relief that they think cannot be ob
tained otherwise.
Hence, while Southern leaders like
Col. Livingston announce their purpose
to make their tight inside tlie lines of
tho Democratic party, which the Alli
ance really controls so far as it desires,
the drift of the Western alliancemen is
decidedly towards tlie organization of
third party, and unlcsa they can induce
Southern Democratic alliancomen to
endanger tlie safety of Southern state
governments and social institutions by
a desertion of tlie principles of Democ
racy it looka like a split in the ranks of
tlie Alliance is brewing. Such an event
would lie deploi able, and some strong
and active work by Southern alliance-
men witii their Western brethren is nec
essary to prevont such a disaster as sucli
a split would bring about.
Levi Dumbauld, chairman of the
Farmers' Alliance state central commit
tee, lias issued an address to the people
in reply to that recently issued by Frank
McGrath,president of the state Farmers’
Alliance, who claimed that unless the
farmers of the south deserted the Dem
ocratic party the farmers of the north
would go to the Republican party. Mr.
Dumbauld denied Mr. McGrath's state
ment and nilds; “Tlie people's party in
Kansas is iu tlie field to stay and has no
intention, under any circumstances, of
abandoning tlie third party moveinont
and returning to the old party line. It is
solidly in favor of tlie overthrow of both
of the old parties without any ifs and
buts, and its delegates will go to the
Cincinnati convention of May 10 for the
purpose of assisting to organize the
third party national campaign of 1802,
ready to clasp hands with all who will
join that movement for the anticipation
of the laboring classes. Hesitate or
halt, who may, the people's movement
must go marching on to the final victo
ry. Lot none lose faith or falter. For
ward en masse over all opposition.”
IIAICKISON AND I MCI.
President Harrison’s tour in the South
will bare an effect in 1802 That .effect
will be in Mr. Harrison’s favor, so far as
the Republican nomination is concerned.
If the tour was undertaken witii a po
litical end in view the schomo was
wise one; otherwise it was a lucky
stroke. Mr. Harrison Is in the South as
the President of the Union; Is welcomed
such; is listened to with that degree
of respect tbat|is duo to the chief magis
trate of tlie nation. Party politic* are
ignored to a very large extent—certainly
to the extent that both Democrat* and
Republican* unite in paying honor to
the man at the present time foremoat in
the nation, and listen respectfully to
wbat he has to say.
Pecsonallty is frequently a potent fac
tor In politics. Whatever of potency
there may be In Mr. Harrison's person
ality appears to be in process of devel
opment In hta present tour. While he
may not be winning votes fpr his party
in the South he la bringing himself into
cloeer relationship with the rank and
file of bta own party In that section.
There la no question In the minds of
the well-informed that.lt was the design
of President Harrison and his party-
managers to “fix” the southern states for
the nominating convention In 1802. The
president recognizes the superiority of
Blaine, and Is taking advantage of the
prestige of his position to lay hi* wires
so nicely now, as to give him the advant
age when the convention meets.
Whatever advantage Blaine may have,
If any at all, In the nominating conven
tion must be the result of the sheer pre
ponderance -of brains and statesman
ship. If he cannot come in like a
cyclone and dash away the fabric now
being erected to corral the southern del
egatei, he will stand no chance against
the little man now in the white house.
LET THE RAILROAD* ALONE.
There was a time, and that not so very
long ago, when Iowa waa the banner ag
ricultural state of this country. It had
no debt, Its farmers were all well-to do,
common schools flourished, its mer
chants prospered, manufactures had
been introduced and were rapidly in
creasing. First-class settlers from the
East preferred it to any other Western
state and willingly paid high prices for
improved farms. Butin an evil hour
the farmers conceived the notion that
they were being oppressed by the rail
roads, tha* tho latter wore not dealing
fairly by them, and so they agitated the
subject until they secured a legislature
that assumed that railroads had no
rights, but that as common carriers de
riving their charters from the people,
they must bo controlled by laws enacted
by the people's representatives. Then
came tho passage of what are commonly
termed tho “granger laws,” and Iowa
farmers rejoiced at tlicir victory, while
in many other states their policy was
advocated until it was formulated into
the too popular phrase, “a railroad com
pany is a monopoly." Then followed a
demand that the general government
should acquire all tlie railroads and be
come their managers. Tills absurd
proposition has numerous supportors in
all parts of the country.
Before tho country acceeds to tilts de
mand it would be but wise to ascertain
what effects her anti-railroad legislation
has had upon Iowa. Some of these are
recited in a recent issue of tho Railway
Register, which says:
“First, railway construction in the
state dwindled, and finally stopped alto
gether. Then some local lines, with no
traffic from outside the Commonwealth
to offset Internal losses, had to be aban
doned. The courts were appealed to for
the purpose of compelling the companies
to continue operations, but the outcome
was the dismantling of the lines. Along
with tills enme the discharge of thous
ands of railway employes, because the
gross caruliigs of tho companies were
not sufficient to pay their wages and
meet bonded obligations. The quality
of the service depreciated, aud tho num
ber of trains was curtailed on account
of necessary economies. Tlie farm
ers of Iona have been complain
ing that with ;!,000 railroad
mon unemployed their home
market lias suffered. But now an ad
ded wall is going up because manufac
turing establishments are closing up
business, and le.ving tho state with
their operatives. They are going be
cause they can no longer receive the
transportation facilities which are so
essential to their prosperity.
Every one of the foregoing statements
Is true. Tho increase of population
from immigration has been checked,
lands bavo decreased in value, the local
market for farm products has been ma
terially lessened, established manufac
torles aro seeking other locations, and
new ones are seldom started. All this is
the result of hostile railway legislation.
If such has been the result in that great
and at one time wonderfully prosperous
state, Is it wise for southern states that
need much more railway mileage than
is now at their command to follow
Iowa's example.—The Manufacturers'
Kecord.

HOW TO DEVOTE THE MONEY.
Georgia will loon receive a snug little
eum of money that will be refunded to
her from the direct tax collected by the
federal government shortly after the
war.
The question Is asked, what will she
do with it t
As It comes from a source outside of
taxes, Its disposition need not be con-
sldered by the state constitution.
Why not, then, devote it to paying the
expenses of a grand exhibit at the
World* Fair and to the organization of
an Immigration bureau ? It could be de
voted to no purpose that would result In
more general good to the people of the
state, and we believe there Is no disposi
tion that could be made of it that would
meet with more universal approval.
