in its provisions the efforts of an able com'
mittee of Democrats, laboring to reduce
taxation in the liue of Democratic policy,
while exercising due regard for the inter
ests which grew up during the war and the
unnatural c mditions which have existed
since. It was received with a howl of hate
and derision by Republicans and
those Democrats who have be
come infected with the idea
that certain in terests must be supported by
a tax upon the community. In the earlier
days of this discussion even the bill's
warmest friends were afraid to predict its
passage, but every day has improved its
chauces. As its provisions became more
clearly understood members of Congress
and the people saw that the cry of free
trade raised against it was not j ustified by
its provisions, but that it was a wise„and
cautious movement in the direction which
our fiscal policy must eventually take, no
matter which parly may be in power.
While taxation is reduced by it the posi
tion of home manufacturers is not weak
ened.
The courage nnd faithful obedience to
the sense of duty which formulated and
introduced the Mills bill have been justi
fied by the results. The debate, stretching
over several weeks, has been greatly to the
advantage of the Democrats, though when
Congress met it was the popnlar impres
sion that the balance of ability and parlia
mentary skill was on the other side of the
House. Many of the speeches have been
of a high order, and cannot fail of greatly
informing the people on a subject of su
preme importance to them, hut
which the condition of the
country’s finances hail relegated to
the background during the present gener
ation. The debate has gone far to solidify
the Democratic par.y. On two former oc
casions, when tariff reform was urgent hut
not, as now, the all-important subject of
national concern, a faction of Democrats,
drawn from States in which the protected
interests are strong, defeated the purposes
of the party, in one instance denying even
serious consideration to a tariff reform
measure by uniting with the Republicans
to strike out its enacting clause. This
Congress with a Demo
cratic majority three times as large as the
party now has. Of this faction only five
persons remain. Mr. Randall and four
followers—and their lose is almost offset
by gains from the Republicans. With a
Democratic majority of fifteen, the major
ity for the Mills bill was thirteen.
There is every reason to be satisfied with
the resnit. It is very possible that the
bill may not become a law. The Senate
may be so devoted to special interests that
it will refuse any reasonable compro
mise between its view** and those of the
House, but such refusal cannot destroy the
effect on the public mind of the honest,
reasonable effort of the Democrats to re
duce taxation in the interest of all the
people.
The Democrats of the House are to be
congratulated. They have made plain the
immediate purposes of their party in re
gard to the tariff, have more than sus
tained themselves in the greatest debate of
the decade, and have drawn together the
divergent factions of the party for a win
ning battle againit the common enemy.
John A. Chanler has the blood of the
Aitorsin h a veins but he is habitually
mentioned in the New York papers as
“the husband of Amelia Rives.” He has
recently instituted suit for an interest of
about $15,000 in his mother’s estate which
he alleges is wrongfully withheld by her
executor. Mrs. Chanler was a sister of
John Jacob Astor.
The Kattroad Dynamiters.
The Brotherhood of the Locomotive
Engineers, in asking a suspension of pub
lic judgment as to the implication of the
order in the recent dynamite conspiracy
in Chicago, is entitled to respectful treat
ment. There are too many detectives
about Chicago, and in their eagerness to
serve their own interests by convicting
men of crime, they are not careful that
their conduct shall be above reproach.

Or the 165 persons in a Philadelphia

This goes to show that the red-heailed boy

The world admires success in every
thing. The late Dr. Zukerlort, of London
was one of the greatest chess players. The
papers are full of sketches of his life 'and
character and he ia to have a monument.
Governor Ames, of Massachusetts, is
laid up on account of high living. Geor
gia has made gracioua provision against
any such calamity to her Governors. Their
salary is based on the strictest hygienic
principles.
General Harms n seems about to be
worried into serious illness by the crowds
of visitor* to hit house, who all want
speeches. The General should remember
that his grandfather waa President only
about a month.
Mr. Randall was the author of the
phrase that “both wings of the party are
going to flap together,” but when the Dem
ocracy waa taking the most important flight
of years, the pin-feathers he controlled
didn’t flap.
The Republicans contend that to take
ofl 10 per cent, of the taxation on manu
factures means free trade, but they deny
that to take off all the tax on distilled
spirits means free whisky. The people
will not be slow to see their inconsistency.
Young Napoleon Ives has been indicted
by a Cincinnati grand jury, but the officers
cannot find him. Perhaps he has retired
to Canada to enjoy in peace the fruits of
victories. Canada is a regular Capua for
veterans of Mr. Ives’s kind.
Ten years ago a war vessel that could

greatest elements in value, the fact that
the United States did not expend millions

Thih is too bad. Rev. R. V. Hunter, a
preacher of Ben Harrison’a own faith, and
pastor of a church in Ben Harrison’a own
town, refuses to support the Republican
nominee for President. He says Mr. Har
rison may be a very good man personally,
but he ia running on a p.alform which is
“simply infamous.”
Whe* the mountaineers can distil their
grain into whitky without the pretence of

the Mills bill proposes, th*y may not pa/

serious part of the matter ia that cer
tain of our contemporaries will b* de
prived of the opportunity to shsd tear*

tection of crime is not that of a public
officer—the enforcement of law and the
defense of the people against wrong doers
they are seeking simply to fill their own
pockets.
In the present instance it is shown
that a man who waa sufficiently
cunning and plmuaible to deceive more
than ordinarily intelligent men aa to hi*
character and even as to the mechanical
trade which he professed to follow, lived
f r weeks among the discontented and idle
engineers, who were exasperated by defeat
in a great strike. It waa to bis own inter
est and that of hi* employers that the
strikers should so conduct themselves as to
forfeit the sympathy and respect of the
public. They could do nothing worse,
more revolting to the general sense, than
to imitate the anarchists in the use of dyn
amite. Yet that is what they did, and lb*
Brotherhood haa received n stunning blow.
Th* order had as well abandon its fight
hundreds of engineers interested—this
sharp detective seems to have been in
cluded. How came it that he was selected
for such desperate work ? Had he played
the simple role of a striking engineer, no
more radicsl in his views than the aver
age, he would hardly have been chosen.
It is easier to believe that he was more
than a quiet observer of events among the
men. Having wormed himself into the
confidence of the angry and excited strik
ers. he would be tempted to shape events
to the benefit of his employers.
He may not have suggested
the use of dynamite, but he
at least impressed his associates with the
idea that he was not averse to that means
of fighting the battles of labor.
Even if the conspiracy, which turned
out to be such a good thing for the rail
road, was inspired by a detective in its
employ, the crime of the men who partici
pated in it is no less serious. A man pur-
stiaded to commit a murder is no less guilty
than if the crime were entirely his own.
If the case made out before the committing
magistrate ia sustained by evidence in the
trial court, the men should be severely
punished. But the conduct of the detec
tive should also be examined into. If it
can be proved that in his efforts to serve
his employers he induced men to commit
crime, he should not be allowed to go free.
Each of half a dozen little pocket par
ties which think it will elect the Presi
dent in 1832, claims to be the dir Set and
sole heir of the party. The Democratic
heir hasn’t announced itself yet. The
prospect of succession is too remote.
Electrical Executions.
New Y ork has determined to abandon
the gallows and to inflict the legal death
penalty with an electrical apparatus. The
chief argument in favor of the new law
was that it furnished a more humane, as
well as a more certain and speedier means
of producing death than the old-fash
ioned hangman’s knot. It is generally be
hoved that a powerful electric current can
be made to produce instant and painless
death.
However, when the bill waspending be
fore the New York Legislature, Dr. Ham-
mond, the famous specialist in nervous dia
eases, spoke ont against it. He declared
that hanging was a more humane infliction
than .he appliance of a powerful electrical
current. Dr. Hammond believes that the
shock of the drop from the scaffold par
alyzea the nerves and that a painless death
ensues, and he contends that electricity is
liable to produce frightful nervou '
which, though brief, are excruciating.
Another authority * has proifertnced
against the new method of rapit * > ni
ishment. Dr. IV. B. Richardson, aWUnow
English expert in electrical science, de
dares that the appearance ofj death
produced by a powerful electrical
shock may be entirely delusive.
He says that he haa frequently restored
animation in sheep and dogs which had,
to alt appearance, been killed by elec
tricity. Dr. Richardson thinks that when
executions are had by electricity, post
mortem examinations must be had to as
certain if the subject is really dead. By
this means those criminals who had es
caped the deadly effects of the electric
current would be certainly disposed of bv
the dissecting knife. The English doctor
also make* a moral argument against the
new method. He says:
Klnce I set up s lethal chamber (or the pain
less extinction of the lives ol the lower animals
I have morefthan once’met persons, not strictly
Insane, hut in morbid states of mind, who have
looked on the lethal easy death ss a prospect of
release (rom life so invlttrglj pleasant that tl
such mode ot death were to be adopted ss the
national plan of capital murder, they would not
hesitate, In some of their went moods, to kill
that they might be killed, since the severest fate
that c mid happen would he a death brought to
the palntcsanen of pleasure.
Dr. Richardson’* views on this point do
not coincide with those of the condemned
felons now awaiting execution in New
York. They express more horror of the
electrical death than of the gallows, ani
congratulate themselves that they are to
be hanged instead of shocked to death by
a new-fangled apparatus.
Edison’s phonograph is considered im
practical by some plodding scientists, but
it has served the inventor a good turn. A
few days ago he sold hit patent for record
ing and perqietuating speech to Mr. J. H.
Lippincott, of New York, for $1,000,000.
Mr. Edison reserves all foreign rights. He
seems to have “projecked” with the phono
graph to some effect.
Georgia Cotton Factories.
Griffin his a cotton mill which paid a
dividend of 25 per cent last year and will
do folly as well this year. Its success hat
ed to the building of another and a larger
mill to be controlled by the game company.
Nut long ago a few gentlemen in La-
Grange determined to try and establish a
cotton factory at that place. They raised
the necessary capital without the aligbtest
difficulty and all the contracts for the con-
struction of the mill have been We
are confident that the enterprise will >uc-
seed as the Troup factory and the West
Point mills have succeeded.
Mr. W. L. Glessner, editor of the A uteri
cus Recorder, has recently been ail over
Georgia preparing the collective exhibit
of Georgia resources, which he is to
carry to several State* in the Northwest.
Mr. Gletmer is a careful and intelligent
observer. He gives the following cheering
report of the condition of the cotton facto
ries in this State:
Th* editor of the Recorder bad occasion last
week to visit the cotton manufactories of
Angnita, Atlanta, Macon and Columbus, and in
all these ettiea he found all the factories run
ning on full time and doing a profitable busi
ness. In conversation with the managers we
learned that never had the cotton factories ot
the Bouth been more prosperous than now.
There are being a greater variety ot goods man
ufactured than ever before, and new market*
are being opened. A profitable trade has been
opened in China and Africa, which enables
our manufacturers to dispose of their surplus
stock and get fair prices. New mills are being
put up and additions made to old ones. Nor
are the evidences of prosperity confined to the
manufacturers. Hundreds of neat, ucw cot
tages In tbe vicinity of ttie factories attest the
fact that the operatives are receiving good wages
and are accumulating property. By combining
their earnings through building and loan asso
ciations, the operatives are securing for them
selves comfortable homes and aiding in build
ing up the cities In which they live.
Could there be a braver, more heroic
death than that which came to Engineer
George Nicholls day before yesterday near
Birmingham? With his train plunging
at terrific speed to meet another train, lie

hand steady on the throttle, he looked
Death straight in the eyes and met it like
a hero.
The term of Senator Coke, of Texas,
will expire next March. He is a candi
date for re-election with good prospects of
snccess, but there are several other aspir
ants for the horor. The strongest men
that can be brought out against Coke are
Congressmen Mills and Culberson, both of
whom are considered in the race. Ex-
Governor Ireland and Mr. Terrell, a prom
inent lawyer, are also probable candidates.
Senator Coke’s friends are confident that
he will be re-elected.
THE Philadelphia Ledger is a Republi
can paper, but it has the honesty and
courage to tell the truth. Of President
Cleveland it says:
There have been few Presidents of the United
States who have so conspicuously displayed so
high a degree of moral courage iu the discharge
ot the duties of their high office.
And again:
It is worth the while of tfle people to oonsider
that there is something better than partisan su
premacy; that fidelity sliown iu the administra
tion of the government Is much better, and that
there can be no partisan necessity so strong as
to warrant the condemnation, through misrep
resentation of tho Executive, for dolug that
which it is his duty to do.
Now we shall lookout for the New York
Tribune to denounce the Ledger as it de
nounces all papers which will not consent
to join its crusade of slander and vituper
ation against President Cleveland.
According to the Philadelphia Record
Disaton & Sons, at Tacony, Pa., have per
fected a new system of gas manufacture
which is a marvel of cheapness. After
more than a year’s experiments they have
succeeded in perfecting a process by which
they claim that they can make gas at a cost
of five or six rents a thousand feet. The
Diastons say they do not fear natural gas-
a* a competitor, and that they can furnish
the cheapest light and fuel that haa yet
been found. .

Eight people perished in tbe accident
on the Virginia Midland railroad last
week. The train went through a trestle
which “was known to be unsafe” and
which engineers hadj>een ordered to cross
at the rate of six miles an hour. What
right has a railroad to allow trains to cross
a trestle that “is known to be unsafe” at
any rate of speed? What excuse can rail
road officials give for not strengthening n
trestle that is “known to be nnsafo?”

She was the daughter of a wealthy baro-

wall of the convent. With the patriotic
Irish priest, Father Kenyon, she wrote
pa t of a story which had a considerable
run. fired with a success which wai
not all her own, she made a dash for the
magazines, periodicals and newspapers.
Site wrote upon a great variety of topics,
mostly secular. Among the works which
she subsequently published were a “Life of
Daniel O’Connell,” a “Life .f Father
Matthew,” a “History of Ireland,” a “Life
St_. Patrick” and a “Life of the Blessed
Virgin.” Her scribhlings In the newspa
pers were considered by Archdeacon Sulli
van, of Kcnmare, to outside tho prov

he forbade her to write on politics sea

pass through his hands.
When the Mother Superior of the con

be elected in her place, and when she
found she wrs not she broke her vowe by
abandoning her convent. After this she
wandered Iron* place to place, collecting
subscriptions for convents that were nevtr

succeeded in getting >n audience of the
Pope. With her usual business tact she

A New York Tribune dispatch from

One of the most affecting reminiscences
of my mother is my remembrance of her
as a Christian huuseke«|ier. She worked
very hard and when we would come in
from summer plav and sit down at the table
at noon I remember how she used to come
in with beads of perspiration along the
line of gray hair, and how sometimes she
would sit down at the table, and put her
head against her wrinkled hand and say:
“Well, the fact is, I’m too tired to eat.”
Long after she might have celegated this
duty to Olliers, she would nol be satisfied
unless she attended to the matter herr.elf.
In fact, we all preferred to have iter do
so, for somehow thinge tasted better when
she prepared them. Home time ego, in in
express train, I shot by that old homestead.

I had not seen for manv jeers. Upped me
on the ehonlder and laid: “De Witt, I tee

boyhood.” “O.jre,” I replied, “I was look-

lived and died.” That night, in the
