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 Rome Tribune found Sockless ■Jerry a very clever fellow after all, and John Locke Martin cracked jokes with him across tho dining table. Jerry is nota bad fellow by any means, and John Locke is not tho grim-vlsagod ghoul his paragraphs would Indicate. Despite the fact that the tin tax claute of the McKinley bill went into effect only a few weeks ago, tbe celebra ted N'icdrlngliaus American Tin Plate Works of St. Louis have a'ready abut down and tho entire force, :cunsist(ng of one man and two boys have been thrown out of employment. 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 will name tbe ticket and make the plat form. If a victory la won, it will be Us victory, and a Democratic victory for . , ln Petn *yl™nU *111 *ct him promt* 7 before the eyes of the next Dem- tliere ia not and has not been for twenty- 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.
