other free trade apostle of his time,
who more boldly declared that "cap

statesmen. Houston was a man of
some genius and more eccentricity.
He died early in the war, his death
hastened, it is said, by an over
whelming tense of the uwfulucss of
civil war. Mr. Mills began his ca
reer as a member of the Forty-third
Congress, serving continuously
evei since, until now he has been
promoted to the Senate, such pro
motion being the natural sequence
of his prominence in the House.
Mr. Mills did not attract attention
until he became chairman of the
committee on ways and means, af
ter the forced retirement from Con
gress of Colonel Morrison. With
Carlisle in the chair Mills became
tue leader of the democracy on the
floor of the House. He had some
glaring faults, some notable quali
fication. He never could rule his
own temper t.nd keep himself on
ice, but what he lacked in prudence,
was made good, perhaps in frank
ness. His tarill bill of 1S88 was cer
tainly less objectionable than the
"horizontal bill" of his immediate
predecessor. It was not so utterly
indefensible if it was equally obnox
ious to protectionists. It had the
merit of being a fair and square
embodiment of the principle of free
trade, that is, as near as could be
reasonably expected. He showed
more intelligence, courage and sin
cerity than Morrison.
In the Senate Mr. Mills will find
himself in a climate better suited to
his temperament. He will be sub
ject to lees irritation and proding.
In the calm and dignified air of the
Senate he ought to be able to main
tain a serenity of eoul. He received
such a severe setting back in the
defeat of his aspirations for the
speakership that he will hardly at
tempt to pose as a leader, which no
new senator ought to do. Kven Mr.
Blaine when he was transferred to
the Senate took a back seat, and
Dave Hill will wish he had. Car
lisle has been put forward some
what, but he has a quiet way with
him which isa shield against the
shafts of envy. Mr. Mills maybe
expected to make two speeches at
this session, one on the tarill, the
other on silver. He is supposed to
feel supreme contempt for the
piecemeal tariff of Springer, Hill,
and the democracy of the present
Congress, and to be in perfect ac
cord with the Bland silver bill. He
'! l.ardly allow thesession to pass
.;out airing his views on both
jects, especially on the tariff.

himself, but more especially to the
tree-wool bill reported by Springer.
Texas is a great wool state, and it is
safe to say that if Mills had been
speaker, or chairman of the com
mittee on ways and means, the du
ties on wool, not the last to come
down, would certainly not have
been the first to feel the knife.
The democrats of the llill-Brice-Gorman
junta who thought they
had scored a point by crushing
Mills last December may conclude
before the year is out that they
made a long primer mistake. The
Senate is not the speaker's chair,
but it is a coign of vantage in more
ways than one. The stone which
the builders rejected in December
has not become the head of the cor
ner by a good deal, but it has once
more become an important factor
in national poliics. Inter Ocean.
The Richmond (Vn.) State mourns
the loss of so many of the old Con
federate songs, and urges the
southern people to adopt some
means of preserving those which
are not already forgotten. There
may be many of the Confederate
songs which the people can pre
serve and teach to their children
without conflicting in any way
with their teachings of patriotism
and loyalty to the Union, but it is
doubtful if they will ever take their
place beside the songs sung in the
north and in the Union camps, be
cause these latter were songs of the
L moii as appropriate now as in
the days af war. They were filled
with patriotic sentiment und love
of country. Few of them were sec
tional. All were pervaded by the
spirit of loyalty to the tlag. It has
often been said by Confederates
that they would have had a better
chance of ultimate victory if they
had had the same inspiritigsongs to
cheer their soldiers. The south
had, like the north, learned to love
"The Star Spangled Banner," and
kindred patriotic airs. In the at
tempt to destroy the Union the
leaders were often driving the
people against their better senti-
1 inents and a Hag they had been
i taught to love. The Confederate
songs, which are simply an out-
growth of the rebellion, are bettor
forgotten.
In the United States, happily, there
is no need of women going into coal
mines for a living."
THE SIGNS IN HIS FAVOR.
A couple of tramps struck a south
ern town just after a few .olorcd
citizens had been served red hot for
trying to vote the republican ticket
and one of them was badly fright
ened. "By gum, Bill" he said, "I ain't
going to stop in no such dang town
as this is."
"Aw, come off" responded the va
lorious William; "what's a eat in'
you? Do you think these people
will take a man dressed like you are
and wearin' a red flannel nose fer a
republican.
IT is the motto of a great labor
organization that "An injury to one
is the concern of all." Free trade
invitt s anil expects the competition
in our markets of the products of
foreign cheaper labor with the'
products of our better paid home
labor, on the plea that the foreign
productsare cheaper than the home
products. But it is not a plain
case that home labor is deprived of
compensation or employment, or
both, to the extent of the use of
these foreign products, or to the
amount of the reduction of wages
compelled by home competition
with cheaper labor? The free trade
scheme thus becomes an "injury"
to all home labor of giant propor
tions, dwarfing the promised bene
fits of cheapness into a trifle, with
even that trifle uncertain and
delusive.

JOHN BULL AS A DEMOCRAT.
A little girl in Chariton recently
perpetrated a good joke on the
democratic parly. The best part
of it was that she did not reali.e
that it was a joke. A bright school
teacher, that is the kind that are
needed, hoping to teach her pupil
interest in contemporaneous events,
asked each p.tpil to write down the
names of the five most prominent
republicans and democrats. The
lists did not agree, of course, but
this particular little girl had a list
as follows: Cleveland, Hill, Boies,
Crisp and John Bull. The little
girl had heard u' John Bull beinga
.ree trader and naturally enough
supposed that he was a democrat.
The little girl is entitled to hono-
rary mention in President Harri
son's next message to congress.
If John Bull, however, should be
come thoroughly Americanized,
love America as he loves his sea
girt iide, it is possible that he
would in time vote the republican
ticket, for he has a habit of looking
first ot all after the interests of his
own people, which is a prominent
republican virtue. It was this
s.ime John Bull wlr a few yeais
ago said through .lis principal
organ, the London Times, that "one
islunan in the United States
voting lor free trade was better
than lift lli.Mhincn at home"
That remark shows the old fellow
be not only a free trader and a
niocrat, but a very shrewd one.

CONFEDERATE BRIGADIERS AT
TACK PENSIONS.
The Confederate brigadier are
beginning to make theniselve heard
again in congress with no uncertain
sound. People who have not met
these men or heard their conversa
tion in private can form no idea of
the strength there is behind their
opposition to the payment of pen
sions to Union eoldicrs. Out of re
spect to their Northern associates,
who appeal to them to keep quiet
and be careful what they s,y, they
restrain themselves as much as
possible, but they can't kn-p their
mouths shut all the time. 'I'll us
Gen. Patterson, of Tennessee, who
claims to have been in command of
the regiment in the Confederate
service which was the last to sur
render and lay down its arms, went
out of his way in his speech on the
tariff to declare himself as follows:
I do say that the enormous sum
paid in the way of pensions is a
double hardship on the people of
the South. It is a hardship because
it is drawn, not from the wealth or
property of the country, but from
its consumers. Audit is a hard
Hop because that pari paid by them
is transferred from the South to the
homes of these soldiers, thereby
depleting from year to year the
money in circulation. From all
these causes it results that there is
a dearth of money south of theOhio
rier.
At this point some Northern dem
ocrats got hold of Gen. Patterson's
coat-tails, and he promptly gather
ed himself up and said he was
speaking in "no sectional spirit."
There can be no mistake, however,
as to w hat he and his associates
mean. He says that pension paying
is " a curse and a blight" to the
South because it draws money
away from that section and puts it
in (he pockets of the Union soldiers
at the North. Believing this, the
brigadiers onlj want to get the
power iu(fheir hands, and they will
make short work of pensions
Whether Gen. Patterson was, as he
claims, the last rebel to surrender,
he is certainly the first to point out
ch arly the new line of attack on the
Union Soldier.
