mittee of the legislature to which it was
referred.
The senate refused to pass a bill
making tho salai y of senators $400 a
year. Some of the older mombers
agreed that is was best to leave “well
enough alone.”
The doctors in thc Legislature wanted
to take a hand in Ozburn’s fate, but the
more discreet legislators thought that it
would bo a bad precedent, and the reso
lution introduced in his behalf was
tabled.
Mr. Blaine ia quoted as saying that
he would not become a candidate for the
Republican nomination for president,
but be is in tbe bands of his friends and
would not refuse to mako the race if the
party ahould give him tbe nomina
tion.

The headquarters of the Richmond
Terminal Company will be established
In the new Kiser building in Atlanta.
The building baa been leased for two
years at a rental of $14,503 per annum,
and tho Constitution thinks that by thc
end of that time Atlanta will have a now
and commodious depot.
The Tennesseo trouble with tbe
miners at Bricevllle has not yet been
settled. The miners are determined that
convicts shall not bo worked In tbe coal
mines, and the governor seems equally
determined that they shall. It is feared
that there will be blood ahed before the
matter la finally settled.
In favoring a graded income tax the
Ohio Democrats simply demand that the
enormous taxation rendered necessary
by tbe appropriations of the liltlion-
Dollar Congress ahould be paid In part
by those beat able to pay it, and who
bare assuredly tlio money to meet tlie
burden. There Is no more just or unop-
pressive tax than’ a graded tax on large
Incomes.
Governoh Caupuell says that tbe
People’s Party will not put out a ticket
in Ohio and that Jerry Simpson and Pef-
ter will canvass tbe state in bis interest
Jerry corroborated this In bla forcible
speech here the other day when he said
that “the next section of h—1” hla party
would move would be John Sherman and
McKinley,In Ohio,Ingalls and Kansas Re
publican congressmen having been the
first section.”
The Philadelphia Times, a journal
folly and usually correctly informed In
regard to the condition of Pennsylvania
politics, announces that Governor Pat-
tison will take the stump for a month
next fall, and that the declaration of hie
purpose to take an active part in the
■tate campaign "is understood to mean
that he baa entered for the presidential
•takes.” According to the Times ho

five yean any material difference In the
political sentiment of these sections.
The statement that the Republican
party is growing in tho region of white
majorities is a positive mis-statement.
There was a moderate protection senti
ment in the mineral producing regions
of the south prior to the election of Har
rison, but the force bill and the McKin
ley bill together killed all leaning to Re
publican doctrines.
The south is as solid as a stone wall,
and will remain so.
WATTERSON ON CLEVELAND.
The Memphis Commercial, an anti-
silver, pro-Cleveland paper, having con
sured Mr. Watterson for not urging tho
nomination of Cleveland, while declar
ing. Governor Hill out of the contest, tho
giftod editor of the Courier-Journal re
plied as follows:
“But, to corao back to our friend of
Memphis, is he not yielding again to bis
wishes, and not to his judgment, when
he says that we must rush blindly tu the
ronomination of Mr. Cleveland, New
York or no New York, Hill, or no nill ?
Is he not putting it a little stronger than
need be when lie assumes that
it must bo Cleveland or defeat ?
May we not have an option ?
Wo agree with our friend that, when wo
leave Cleveland, we leave Now York;
but docs lie suppose that Mr. Cleveland
would permit his namo to go before the
national convention with the New York
delegation against him? And, in that
event, what? Shall wo nominate him
anyhow, or shall we seek to find some
Polk, or Pierce, on whom all classes of
Democrats may unite in good faith and
toward a triumphant result?
"These are calm, midsummer days,
when wo huve plenty of time ahead of
us, and, In the spirit of tho season, wo
may speculate upon such things without
hurt to any Interest."
Gov, Campbell denies the report that
ex-President Cleveland has been invited
to make speochos in Ohio this fall, and
•ays that the state executive committee
which attends to such matters has not
yot organized for the campaign, but It is
quite probable that several of the ablest
Democrats of the country will como to
Ohio and give their services to their par
ty. Of course Gov. Campbell la not In a
position to apeak for Mr. Cleveland but
there is every reason to bcllevo that tbe
distinguished ex-prealdent will visit
Ohio during tbe month of October and
make a half dozen or more speeches in
behalf of the Democratic nonincea
and tho great cause that they repre
sent.
Settlers who seek the arid lands of
tho west, and then call on tbe govern
ment of the United States for money
with which to make theso lands pro
ductlve by irrigation, disgust the citi
zens of the south who have lands which
are already fertile without any artificial
Irrigation or drainage. Yet tbe south
finds it difficult to secure immigrants,
while the west catches more of them
than she can well take care of. There Is
something radically wrong In our sys
tem—if we have any—of promoting im
migration and of advertising the state’s
advantages.
All the Ilea regarding the condition
of Secretary Blaine’s health have been
traced to Col. Elliott F. Sheppard, of
the Mall and Express, and now It ia well
known that the circulation of the lies
was a part of a conspiracy among tbe
frltnda of Frealdent Harrison to get
Blaine oat of the field so a presidential
candidate, and thus ensure the renoml-
nation of fl»|
mit the convicts to work.
Hie militia, under Col. Sevier, were
commanded to surrender or disperse.
They were permitted to retire with their
arms. They numbered less than one
hundred against several thousand armed
miners, who felt that they had a griev
ance. Col. Sevier will be condemned for
Ids conduct, but reflection may justify
bis action. He avoided a conflict once
entered upon that must have resulted in
great loss of life.
Tho miners are woll armed, and under
t ie control of cool and determined men.
They have respected private property,
but whatever their conduct, and what
ever their grievances, tlie unfortunate
and deplorable fact remains that they
are in armed riot against tbe laws and
autiiorities of Tennessee.
For this violent breach of tlie peace,
for this armed defiance of tbe state, tbe
ringleaders should be made to suffer the
consequences. If armed mobs are to
right imaginary wrongs or to take tbe
law into their own hands for any cause,
there will bo no security for life or prop
erty. Tho state must vindicate tlie law
and punish those who resort to armed
violence against her authority.
HARMONY IN THE HAPPY FAMILY.
The Republicans of New York state
aro cunning beyond their fellows.
They aro so well satisfied that McKin-
leyism will not begin to do that they pro
pose to ignore it altogether. Tlieir can
didate for governor it is thought will
be non-committal. A leading Republi
can tells tlie New York Evening Post
that “it is true that most of the Repub
lican loaders favor a tariff plank with
out any mention of McKinley in it. Of
eburso tlio platform will declare for ad
equate protection to American indus
tries, and bind tlio party to that party as
firm as ever.
While McKinley will make a vigorous
canvass In Ohio for his monstrous tax
bill—the tariff of 00 per cent, average
on thousands of articles and will try to
win tho governor's seat with such a
measure as his chief card, in New York
the Republican candidate for governor
will either severely let it alone alto
gether or touch it most gingerly with a
very long pair of tongs.
REVIVING WAR TAXES.
Referring to the declaration of the
Ohio Democrats In favor of a graded In
come tax, the chief Republican organ
asks why they want to revive a war tax,
It is becauso a Republican congress
and administration have revived the war
expenditures and rendered them obliga
tory for a long term of years.
After twenty-five years of dobt-paying
unparalleled in tho history of govern
ments the combined cliargo for interest
and pensions Is now £.’0,000,000 more an
nually than it was wbon the bonded war
debt was at its maximum.
A billlon-dullar congress renders neces
sary billion-dollar taxes.
And to help to meet tho burden laid
upon tho people by this reckless extrav
agance the Ohio Democrats favor a tax
upon universal necessities.
The Tiues-Recuuuer has no inten
tion of misrepresenting tlio Tribune-of-
ltomd and only mado tho statement that
It was an Allianco lighter from reading
Its columns for the past two years. As
to tlio visit of tlio alliancomon to Amor-
icus, The Tihes-Rkcoiiiieii heard every
word of tho speeches mado In this placo
and failed to bear one word against tlio
Democratic party. On tlio othor hand,
the Republican party was severely
scored by all of tho speakers and in
this The Tihes-Recokdeii certainly
gives its lieaitlcst endorsement. The
Times-Rkcordek Is not a chronic
growler.
Several of the Republican journals of
Philadelphia are placed in a very bad
light by tbe confessions of Bardsley, the
dishonest treasurer. One of tbe pub
lishers admits having given to on agent
of Bardsley 40 per cent of the sum paid
him for official advertising. This per
centage the publisher understood was to
go tor campaign expenses. He names
five other organs as having mode a simi
lar division. Of $10,000 AortU of official
advertising $4,000 would go to swell tho
Republican campaign fund.
