NOT A GOOD YEAR FOR OUTS.
This does not seem a good year
for putting congressmen out who
are already in, and who have done
their duty in Washington. The
victory of Messrs. Livingston,
Lawson and Moses, the latter need
ing now but a fraction of a vote,
gives little encouragement to the
candidates who are trying to de
feat the present incumbents for

Each of these three have been
spirited fights, but in each case

Judge McWorter, who has just
surrender and left the nomination
to Judge Lawson after a hard fight
Jeaves the field with the admira
tion of the public for the manly
course he pursued in resigning his
office bef< re entering the race for
-another, and for the dignified
plane on which the campaign was
• waged against his opponent. There
was no bitterness whatever in the
contest, und when the fight was
ended the contestants were as
good friends as when it opened.
'This is the way contests f»r the
nomination should be carried on
; between Democrats. The nomina
> tion of Judge Lawson retains in

*, tive party man who stands square-
Yly'cn the Democratic platform.
'-Congressmen Lester, Crisp, Turn

position from any source in the

ther of these will have any serious
■trouble in the election except
Major Black, who has the misfor
tune to be in the hotbed of the
Third Party’s strength in the
. State, and to be opposed by Tom
i Watson, who is stronger than the
party itself. But neither he nor the
r party is as strong as two years ago,
and Major Black beat them then,
though Watson was in, and he a
z raw recruit. Now Black is on the
inside and has the added strength

admirable record. He will get
there.

AN ORGANIZATION OF BIGOTS
It is not a pleasing thing to note
the revival of tl e un American orga*.“
Zition known as the American Pro
tective Association. That it will be
short-lived there is no doubt, but for
a time it may prove mischievious,
Tne organization should be repug
nant to every patriotic citizen who is
not a fanatic, or who does not seek to
ride into power on these recurring
waves of fanaticism. The organization
has never met with favor in democrat)
ic communities, and democratic states,
but in the north notorious fonts isms
and new theories, and generally un
bidanced political views it has man
aged to gain subside) able headway
until this year it has been fostered so
quietly and yet withal so zealously
that in the Wisconsin republican state
convention on Thursday last it sue
needed in nominating its candidate
for governor on the first ballot.
This oath.bound and vicious socie
ty seeks to bar all but native Ameri
cans from all positions in every branch
ofpuuuicipal, county, state or national
government —and not content with
that sweeping interdiction it seekt, to
bar every member of the Catholic
church from like positions even if they
be native American citizens, and ev
eryone admitted to this organization
of bigots is required to subscribe to
an oath that he will not vote for o r
countenance the election or employ -
ment of that class.
When the issue is brought close to
the people, the candidates of such an
un American society can be defeated
in every state of the union, and the
democracy of Wisconsin should throw
down the gauntlet and welcome the
issue, not permitting tariff or financial
issues to obscure it. It should not
be permitted to get a foothold in free
America.
But it is only in the north that
this organization is doing its stealthy
work. It is trying to risk a lodging
in the south, and in a recent election
in Nashville we are informed that it
had some of its star chamber mem
bers on one of the tickets. It would
be well for those opposed to this
dangerous society to require candi
dates for official position to make
the fact clear and unmistakable that
they are in no wise connected with
this fanatical association of bigots.
As they keep their movements se
cret, and are oath-bound and close
mouthed, the greatest vigilance wifi
ba required to prevent deception.
The Georgia democracy that assem
bles in Atlantn next week should siq
ts seal of disapproval upon this so.

ic brethren of the other states of the
1 union,—Savannah Dispatch,
I A GROUNDHOG CASE.
A man who was busily digging
for .a groundhog was asked by a
‘ looker on: “Do you think you
* will catch him?'* whereupon he
’ replied wi*h serious,determination:
‘Tv’e got to catch him ; the preach
‘ er ie at my hou»£ and Iv’egot no
1 meat.”
That is about the situation with
1 the Democratic party and the tar
iff bill, and hence we have never
’ doubted that the bill will be pass
ed. It is a groundhog case. The
■ party has got to pass it.
Democratic congressmen who
■ have to be re-elected this fall would
never face their constituents with
out having passed a tariff bill. To
reform the tariff was the issue on
which the party went into power.
It was even thought that it should
be the business of an extra session:
Having until the
regular session, and then failed af
ter eight months cf continuous
session to pass a reform tariff bill,
the chief plank of the platform on
which the Democrats were placed in 1
power, would be such a confession I
of incapacity as no party could '
hope to survive. j
Thia is as apparent to Democrats t
las to their political opponents, t
and the judgment wi uld take i<
the whole party. The parties oi
the ride of the House bill wou'<
be little better off than those m
the ?iJo of the Senate bill, for i
would be party condemnation, so
not individual punishment, Th
people, who respond to the c i 1
from the Democratic party to giv<
it a chance to reclaim the Cover: -
meat from Republican misru e.
would declare that the Democratic
party had been neighed io the be -
auce and found, wanting.
The party would surely be un
seated, and the people woulu d -
clare their preference even fit .•
party which could rule badly
rather than one which could no
rule at all. Not to pass the t.iiifi
reform bill would be equivalent • <
the suicide of the Democratic pir
ty. Some of the leaders may h-v<
dragged the party.tothe biink, Lit
they will never throw it ov< r, fui
the simple reason that they vyouhi
go with it.
The bill was returned to I
conference commit lee by ti<
Senate yesterday without instruc
tions. There will be concessions ii
the conference committee by bo:i
sides. The bill will be passed
