THU PARTY CAN AND WIl.I. WIN.
During the taut few month* It linn
boon wild on every Hale by Democrat*
Hint tlieir party Inn) no chmice wltut-
over to retain euoitroLof tltu lower
hiawtt of tint next, t-oilgrtw*. Thla Wan
util not by men who expected tlteui-
Helvea to vole agalnat the party or to
fall to vide with It, but by good anil
fudbfnl Democrat* who had In-cornu
tllucouniKial by Hie dixaeimiouH and np-
parcnl Uclplcwueiw of the party’s rep-
ruscutaUvcs in emigre.*. While faith
ful theinselu'H, they expected thou*-
iindn of olhcra to make no ulloovan«eH
for (lie iilmimt lnaunuoimtnhlu dillleul-
ticu of the Hlliiatiegi and to go over to
the lCepuldlcaua or PupiiliulH.
We have not Hharcil this epdilon and
feel now a greater confidence that the
parly will retain Its hold ou the house.
The party can lose nearly forty Heats
nail Mill have n majority. Where can
HO large n loss occur? In the West,
where the Populist strength Is wnJilng?
In the South, where It has at least
shown no increase? Or will It occur
iu the East, whore, the Republicans
already hnvo a lurge majority, of the
representatives, and where, dlscoutcut
has arisen from delay In tariff legisla
tion and not from the manner li| which
congress lias dealt with fill uncial ques
tions?
We bollevo the probability that tlio
party will hold the house will steadily
tnerenso from this time until the elec
tion. The new tariff law Is not euuruly
satisfactory, but, as we have already
pointed out, It bestows substantial ben
ellts ou the eisiutry and In a long buck
ward step from MeKInloylsm. It is
satisfactory to the whole mas* of the
people as a settlement, for a time nt
least, of u question .mpenttlvely (Its
mu ud lug settlement, und In Its opera-
tlon* It will Justify the party lit passing
If. The time before the election
which Its effect* cau Ik> ttfjflervod Is
short, hut It Is twice us long as that
which Intervened between the passage
of 'the McKIhiey law amt Its over
whelming repudiation nt the pollH. The
effects of the operation* of that law
during one mouth did more to bring
about whnl looked like a destructive
defeat of the Republican party than all
the speeches made agidust It. The mill-
lens of people who Wmght goods dur
ing that mouth found that they were
obliged to tiny mere than lieforc fur
what they wiftitrd, and they knew tlio
Increase did uot go Into the treasury
for the public use. They paid, less for
sugar, but t|u>y knew they saved at the
expense of the treasury and tlmt the
treasury In addition would pay mill
Intis of dollars lu bounties to sugar pro
ilucim, the saving to sugar coasumers,
therefore, ltoitut apparent, uot real.
The Deuoerutle lilll will go to tho

The Telegraph's Interviews with Mu

Is n sense of relief new that the • tariff
hill has passed, and everywhere mi iui
provement of business Is expected,
U’hut everybody expects, In it case I .to
tills, Is very apt to come to pass. The
cliuugu ill tlio tone of the newspapers
during the last two or three weeks,

oontreversy was near Its eud, has been
Very marked. The Rote everywhere

SUGAR PLANTERS IN DISMAY.
New Orleans. Aug. 15—The passage of
tie Wilson tnrlff bill has thrown n damp
er on commercial dealings tn New Or
leans. At least two-thlrds of her popula
tion looked to the sugar Industry either
directly or Indirectly for support, end any
legislation that Is unfavorable to sugar
has decidedly a bad effect on other com
merce. The sugar exchange yesterday
was In a turmoil, the members declaring
that th* industry would be ruined by ad
verse legislation; that free sugar wilt
close down nineteen out ot twenty sugar
plantations In this state, and that New
Orleans will practically die a commercial
death. Great hopes are entertained liy
New Orleans merchant! that the free
sugar amendments will not become law,
and many still clltig to the forlorn hope
that a bounty for the crop of 1SD1 will
tie paid, but a majority have given lip
hope of getting even a fractional part
of the year’s bounty.

mentary ticket over the popular Sea
board Air Line to Washington, good
li-om August 27 to September 3 dui-tog
the grand conclave of. the Knight* of
Pythlak, which convenes on August 2S.
About one month ago the Macon nud
Northern railroad, with its usual *m-
terpriso, offered a -free ticket over the
Seaboard Air Line to Washington to
the most popular Knight of Pythias in
Maaan, the knight’s popularity to be
determined by the largest number of
coupons clipped from the Telegraph
and bearing his tonne. Thla offer has
been published dally anil has excited
oons'.derablo interest among the knights
qf the city, a large number of whom
havo received a very complimentary
number'of ballots. The contest closed
last evening at 0 o’clock, and when tho
ballot* were counted it was found that
Mr. W. H. Cornell had received 2,100
toms and Mr. Tliavpe, tho next highest,
1.03S. OtUers ranged ftoin 1 to 1,000
votes.
It is not always tho case In contests
of this kind that the most popular man
wins, but If there is a more popular
knight to Mooon than Billy Cornell
the public nt largo Is not av.-qro of It.
Genial, Jovial and whole-souled, ho Is
Just the man who Bhould have won tho
prize, and his thousands of friends nre
proud of him.
