A RIF VAN WINKIE CASE.
The Republican state convention
went down into the grave and brot up
Galusha A. Grow, to be their nominee
for congressman-at-large.
Over a generation ago Galusha dis-
appeared from the political world,
snowed under by the elder Cameron,
who had no fondness for “Them d--n
literary fellers,” Since Simon has left
this earth, Don and Quay have kept
watch over the grave of Galusha, lest
there be a resurrection of the free-soil-
er and a prophet greater than the two
free-spoils bosses, appear and interfere
with their ownership of the Republi-
can machine in this state.
When Grow was yet in the political
world, his cry was free-soil, anti-slave-
ry, and for the negro—there is where
he stopped and went to his political
sleep.
The Republican cohorts being short
in material of mental caliber, dug
down into the grave, brot up Galusha,
and nominated the spook for congress-
man-at-large two weeks ago.
gress, he will be its Rip Van Winkle.
and then make a motion to call up the
Wilmot proviso for discussion. Silver,
Wilson bill and Lil, and all that, will
be new to Galusha.
The writer once, on a morning, sat
with Galusha, solitary and alone, on
the railing by the seashore, at Cape
May, watching the waves rolling in
and listening to the music of the
breakers. The time was for the elec-
tion of a U. 8S. Senator, and the people
called for a man of ability to represent
this great state in the senate. Galusba
took it that the call meant him, and
we told him it did. But when the big
political wave came rolling in, Don,
the son of Simon, was astride of it, and
made a successful landing. Galusha
referred to the optical illusion presen-
ted by the vast plane of sea, always
showing a mountain, an up-hill, in
the distance. The sea of politics had
just such an illusion for Galusha.

GEN. Beaver predicts good times are
coming and that we have seen the low-
est. Carnegie thinks so too, and the
industries starting up all over the land
is the beginning of it. And the Wil
son tariff’ bill will pass soon and make
the sunshine brighter sti]l.
Y a ff ————
Tue Atlanta Constitution recently
printed some interesting statistics, tak-
en from the official records. They
show that during the year 1863 the
American people paid over $1,600,000-
000 for beer, whisky and tobacco. And
the year was one of great financial dis-
tress, a year in which thousands of
families were sorely pressed for means
with which to procure the bare neces-
sities of life, Well does the Atlanta
paper exclaim that had this vast sum
been used for something of value there
would have been little suffering during
the present winter.
SUNSHINE DISPFELS THE CLOUD.
We need not predict that the sun-
shine of prosperity is ahead—for we
already behold its rays penetrating
and dispelling the cloud of depression.
Every reader of the Reporter already
sees and feels a livening up in business
prospects. The calamity howler sees
his occupation fading away under the
starting up of industries recently shut
down, and new life breathed into the
vastly larger number of mills which
became silent during the last eighteen
months of Harrison's administration
and a protective tariff.
The Wilson bill will pass within a
few weeks, and this is what is resto-
ring confidence, much to the chagrin
of the calamity howler.
Every day brings news of a score of
industries starting their fires and hun-
dreds of men getting employ. Honest
and patriotic citizens, Republicans and
Democrats, alike will rejoice that this
is so.
Explain to us, calamity howler, if
a high tariff means prosperity for all,
why, under the last thirty years of
protection there was not even enough
of “prosperity’’ heaped jup to prevent
one year of depression? Joseph, in
Egypt, laid up enough of corn in sev-
en years of plenty to supply all with
food during seven years of famine,
Surely the workings of the high tar
iff in the past 30 years must have been
a fraud else there could not have been
the suffering and want experienced in
the land in the past two years.
But, sunshine is dispelling the cloud
upon the coming tariff reform.
QUAYS VIEWS.
The Pittsburg Post says: ‘Senator
Quay talks like a statesman in regard
to the Wilson tariff’ bill, and we are
glad to give him credit for his wise
views and political foresight. He op-
poses filibastering of any kind to de
*
lay the passage of the bill, He says
the Republicans of the senate will op-
pose the bill in its entirety and will of-
fer amendments. That is their right
and duty if they don’t like the bill,
but in present conditions opposing
should end there. “It is my judg-
ment,’ says Senator Quay, “if we are
to have the Wilson bill the sooner it is
settled the better. If it cannot be de-
feated or modified there is no use in
delay.” That is the general judgment
and it rests on sound reasons. Uncer-
tainty as to the tarifl’ rates affects bus-
iness men, but only because of the
doubts as to what the basis of opera-
tions will be in the way of custom
house taxes, There was the same un-
certainty when the tariff law of 1893
and the McKinley law were pending.
A proposition to either reduce or in-
crease custom house taxes has the
same eflect in business. It makes
merchants cautious in purchases and
manufacturers cautious in production.

CERTAIN members of the legislature
were shocked on Tuesday by auditor

an alarming state, and she daily grew

any moment. She suffered no pain,
and was conscious until the last mo-
ment conversing with her family and
friends, and when the breath of life
finally passed from the body it was
calm and peaceful, no death struggle,
all was still snd her soul had gone
thence where none returneth.
Mrs. Gregg was aged about fifty-six

Col. William Smith, dec'd., of Clinton

Smith, now living in New Mexico,
survives her. She was a lady much
