Eli B. Williams, on© of the pioneer settlers of Chicago, who was Receiver of the Land Office thirty years ago, died in Paris, He left a large estate. The explosion of a boiler in a mill at Youngstown, Ohio, mangled and scalded four men to a fatal degree, and infiic.ed grave injuries on ten othors. In the mining camp of Ivanpah, Cal., a stock-raiser was killed by a renegade Indian. A party of reds delivered him to tho authorities, and a band of masked men seized and hung him. A gang of bogus-coin manufacturers have been arrested near Cadillac, Mich., and their molds and. metals seized. In a quarrel about a patent right, at Gilman, led., Ira Miller shot Seth McKinney through the heart. Mrs. Mary Berner, an insane woman of Milwaukee, alter escaping from the asylum, killed herself with a dull table knife, cutting a large piece of flesh out of her throat A fire at Leadville destroyed McDaniel's Theater and a restaurant and saloon adjoining. Gen. Benjamin F. Loan, who made an enviable record, in the Union army and served three terms in Congress, died at St. Joseph, Mo. The Superior Court at San Francisco, in one of the suits instituted by Burke against Fiood and other bonanza kings, has rendered i decision which will force the latter to disgorgi ert-er SBOO,OOO to victimized stockholders. The Indians at Hoocheno, Alaska, re cently burned at the stake two of their numbu ior some crime. Several stores having been robbed at Pierre, Dak., fifty vigilants, armed with rifles, picked up all the questionable men in town and drove them away with a warning. A party of ten cowboys engaged in a lark at O’Neill City, Neb., and killed Sherifl Kearns and seriously wounded his deputy because they objected to the breaking up of an auction. The murderers escaped. Mark Mata, formerly of Chicago, was mortally wounded in an affray in a newspaper office at Deadwood, by a Texan named Ebelin. Mrs. Albright, residing near Youngstown, Ohio, hanged herself with a skein of yarn, leaving five children. The reoeipt of the news caused her uncle, John Elizera, to fall dead. Reports from the winter wheat in Ohio show a large increase in acreage and a promising condition of the plants, even beneath the snowy covering. By a collision on the St. Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba road, near Rothsay, two men were killed and five seriously injured. In the slang of that section, the people of Sidney, Neb., had a round-up of thieves, and lodged them in jail. Included in the railroad projects chartered in Indiana are a narrow-gauge line from Terre Haute to Merom, and a road from Terre Haute to Columbus. The Indianapolis, Bloomington and Western road has swallowed the Springfield Southern, a fine 118 miles in length. Charles Schoonover, of Michigan, who is delivering tomperance lectures in Central lowa, is but 14 years of age. Grain-dealers at St. Louis send out reports of great damage to winter wheat in St. Clair and Clinton counties, 111. In the bill redistricting the State of Wisconsin, the Legislature, by an unaccountable blunder, omitted the town of Ridgeway, in lowa county, and disfranchised 600 voter*. At Irving, Mich., Martin Texter was visiting at the house of a neighbor named Benjamin Trego, when the latter stepped from the room, returned with an ax, and split Texter’s uoad to tfio chin. Jealousy was apparently the c.. u ;e. In the case of the slaughter on the St. Paul and Manitoba road, the Coroner’s jury find criminal carelessness on the part of Conductor Galvin and Brakemau Pearce. Toe former is in jail. “ Forget-Me-Not,” the new play, with Miss Genevieve Ward in the principal role, is the attraction this week at Haverly’s, in Chicago. This remarkable play some time since was presented to overflowing houses at Wallaok’s Theater, New York, when the drama was enjoined from further production there. This play has excited more intelligent comment than anything produced this season. Miss Ward’s impersonation of the heroine is so clearly a great creation that it has already taken rank among tho striking impersonations of the age, and, once seeing it, one can readily understand the reason of its remarkable success in England and the United States. South. Mrs. Betsy Givens, the first girl baby born in Louisville, has gono to the better land. She was 103 years of age, and had never entered a railroad coach. The Chesapeake and Ohio road is to commence work at ODCe on a line from Lexing* ton to Louisville. C. P. Huntington has socured control of the Elizabethtown and Paducah road, and will take immediate steps to close the gap southward to Memphis. The Denver and New Orleans road has ordered fifty miles of steel rails from Liverpool, and closed a contract for budding the line to a connection with the roads in Northwestern Texas.

A cyclone in Randolph county, Ga., killed Jack Embrey, his wife and two children. The fiendish murder of Ben 0. Porter, the actor, at Marshall, Texas, by James Currie is still fresh in the minds of the reading public. Through the efforts of a Texas jury the villain escaped unpunished. One week ago, in a drunken fit at Las Vegas, he threatened the lives of several people, and was shot dead by a bartender. Some of Currie’s friends attempted a lynching, but were foiled, and a Coroner’s jury justified the killing. The Legislature of Tennessee has passed a bill forfeiting the office of any Sheriff who shall permit a prisoner to be taken from his custody and lynched. The world was too hasty in congratulating itself that the butcher, Currie, had gone under the daisies. The man killed at Las Vegas was not the assassin of Ben C Porter, but a namesake whose biography shows incidents equally bloodthirsty. During a freshet of the Coosa river, in Georgia, it inundated the farm of Mr. Frank Perry. As the waters receded a buried battlefield came to view. Skeletons and parts of skeletons lay strewn upon the field, and bones of every portion of the human frame. In addition, every variety of Indian beads were unearthed. A large Indian pipe, carved into a likeness of a human face, was also found. The field was strewn with implements of war used by the aborigines, and here and there could be seen the remnants of fortifications. hour negroes were killed and five badly scalded by a boiler explosion in ft saw mill at Berkeley, Ya,

Heavy frosts have damaged vegetation in the northern portion of the Golf States.

WASHINGTON NOTES. The President withdrew the nomination of Adam Badeau to be Charge d’Affaires to Denmark, as the honor was positively declined. President Garfield’s wife, mother and three younger children will hie to Mentor on the approach of warm weather, and the Chief Magistrate expects to take along summer vacation on his farm. For the expedition in search of the Jeannotte the Naval Board of Inquiry recommends the detail of five officers and thirty-five men. Gen. Lew Wallace has declined the South American mission, to which he was nominated. Naval Lieut. R. M. Berry will command the steamer Mary and Helen on her cruise in search of the Jeannette. The treasury is prepared to redeem the outstanding 5 per cents, of 1831 at the rate of 101.25. Thomas M. Nichol, nominated Com missioner of Indian Affairs, has requested the President to withdraw his name, on account ot ill-health, and he will be transferred to the internal-revenue service in the South. Kenward Philp was among the callers at the White House last week. He states that the District Attorney will drop the charge against him in connection with the Morey letter, whereupon he will commence suit against George H. Bliss for false imprisonment and malicious prosecution. The resignation of Andrew D. White, Minister at Berlin, has for some time awaited action by the President. A Washington dispatch says “there will be no duel between Senator Voorhees and Senator Mahone, at least so far as Senator Voorhees is concerned. The latter is reported as having said that he did not care to have the matter go any further—that it could rest where it is—and that there would be no pistols and coffee. Senators on both sides are endeavoring to secure an amicable adjustment. Some of Mahone’s best friends think that he ought to have accepted the explanation which Voorhees made at the time, which, however, Mr. Mahone appears not to have clearly heard.” An attorney of Washington charges that by improper means the United States Government has obtained the drawings of Whitehead's torpedo, an explosive manufacture! by the British. Commodore Jeffers states that the secret was given him by officers of our navy.

POLITICAL POINTS. Secretary Kirkwood, in an order issued lately, declared that competitive examinations in li'H department must end. The difference between the position of the Readjusters and their opponents in Virginia on the debt question, says a Washington correspondent, which has been made so prominent by the contest in the Senate, is about as follows: McCullough’s (or the Debtpayers’) bill fixed with the consent of the creditors the debt at $32,000,000, made the coupons receivable for taxes and other dues to the State, and the bonds nontaxable. It fixed the rate of interest at an average of 4 per cent. Riddleberger’s bill, which the Readjusters stand by, fixed the debt at $20,000,000, made the coupons not receivable for taxes, made the bonds taxable, and the rate of interest 3 per cent It was proposed to make this bill a law, without the consent of the State’s creditors, on the ground that it was just to both the creditors and the State. The Readjustee’ bill excludes from the State debt the interest accumulated during the war and the reconstruction period. McCullough’s bill includes this. The Irving Hall Democracy in New York has disbanded, after ratifying the reorganization of the party by the committee of one hundred. The New York Spirit of the Times, in order to decide election bets, went to the trouble of obtaining correct election returns from the various Secretaries of State, from which it appears that Garfield’s plurality over Hancock in' the late election was 3,522. The Spirit takes the sum of the highest votes cast for a Republican elector in each of the States, and the sum of the highest votes cast for a Democratic elector, and compares them.

MISCELLANEOUS GLEANINGS. Coinage of the five-eent nickel pieces has been suspended, as it is becoming redundant. During 1880 327,371 persons from abroad came to make their homes in this country. This is the largest number in the history of the United States, and was only approached in 1854, when the number was 319,271. From present indications there seems to be no doubt that the number of immigrants who will arrive here this year will exceed tLe number last year, and will be close on if it does not exceed 500,000. The death of the Earl of Caithness at New York is announced. He was known as the most scientific member of the Scotch peerage, having perfected a steam carriage for macadamized roads and invented an improved loom and gravitating compass. The German population in the mountain districts of Bohemia are leaving for the United States hi large colonies.

RENSSELAER, JASPER COUNTY INDIANA, FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 1881.

The Illinois and Mississippi Canal Commission has arranged for a Northwestern Convention at Davenport, lowa, on May 25, the delegates to be appointed by the Governors, Boards of Trade and farmers’ clubs. The object of the gathering is to invoke the aid of Congress in creating a water route from the “Father of Waters” to the lakes. The Rev. Dr. Philip Bchaff, who was one of the American Committee on the Revision of the New Testament, said to a New York reporter, the other day, on this subject: The changes are so many that scarcely a verse in the New Testament remains unaltered. We have worked between two fires—the Radicals wanting far .more sweeping changes than we would sanction, and the other party rolling their eyes in horror when a comma was transposed or a small letter replaced by a capital. The controversy will probably go on for a few years. The New Testament will be sold in England Scotland, Ireland, Australia and the United States on the 20th Of next May. The stories that large numbers of books are now in this country under lock and key are false, the revisers only having received copies. Only subscribers will receive copies at first, and the price to the public will be $lO. It is understood that, within forty-eight hours of the appearance of the English copies upon the market, r< prints will appear from six New York pnb lishers, the prices of some of the editions to be as low as 15 cents. The stockholders of the Pullman Pal-ace-Car Company have voted to increase the number of shares one-third, making the capital $8,000,000.

DOINGS IN CONGRESS. The galleries of the Senate Chamber were jammed on Monday, March 28, in anticipation of a sensational debate. Among the auditors was Mrs. Sprague. Senate r Mahone devoted three hours to the task of making his position on repudiation clear, and rounded off in a few extemporaneous remarks A feeble attempt was made toward the election of officer*. The President nominated William H. Craig for Postmaster at Albany, N. Y. Mr. Craig i* the oresent Postmaster. In the United States Senate, on Tuesday, March 29, Wade Hampton denied the statement of Gen. Mahone that the Democratic party had repudiated the debt of South Carolina. Mr. Brown refuted the charge that he had withheld ihe militia of Georgia from the Confederate cause. Mr. Beck ridi. cu’ed the Republicans for picking up Readjuster Riddleberger. Messrs. Jonas and Kellogg had a war of words in regard to the infamy of Louisiana politics. The following revenue appointments were made: Charles C. Johnson, Store-Keeper, Soventh district, and W H. Havers. H. L. Harlan and Edward P. Botsford, Fifth district, Kentucky. In the Senate chamber at Washington, on Wednesday, March 30, Mr. Kellogg found a handsome bouquet on his desk, while Mr. Hill was the recipient of a magnificent floral effect—a ship of state sailing upon a sea of violets and roses, accompanied by a laudatory letter from ladies of Alexan_ Aria, Va. A resolution was passed to pay the expenses of the funeral of Matt H. Carpenter. A motion by Mr. Harris to adjourn to the first Monday of December was lost. Hill and Dawes then opened debate on political issues*, during which Logan indignantly denied that he sympathized with the South at the outbreak of secession. The Senate was apparently no nearer the election of its officers on the last day of March than it was at the beginning of the fight. The proceedings were Bipolar to those of the day before. The principal speakers were Senator* Cameron, Maxey, Dawes, Jones, Kellogg, Jonas, and Beck. Jonas provoked a discussion of the Louisiana debt question, and the debate branched out into the features of ihe election of 1878. There was nothing of a sensational character in any of the speeches. The President nominated John B. f-tickney to be United States Attorney for the Northern District of Florida.

There was a strong flavor of the sensational in the S mate proceedings on Friday, April 1. The debate was made up cf a series of personal encounters. Lamar, of Mississippi, for the first time in many months, made a speech. He was very weak and sjioko with evident effort, and at the end of an hour was utterly exhausted Hoar, of Massachusetts, replied to him, and George, the new Senator from Mississippi, spoke of polities in that State, and was answered by Dawes. Hill of Georgi*, Logan aiid Butler took part in ihe dis u -ion. An angry altercation between Voorh ea of Indiana and Mahone of Virginia capped the climax, and brought the proceedings to a close. Voorhee* adopted ihe Ear,gunge of a quasi Republican paper, and applied the epithet renegade Democrat ” to Mahone, and accused him of being a party to a disgraceful bargain. Mahone replied that no brave and honorab o man would make use of such language. Both spoke of settling the difficulty “hereafter,” which led to rumors of a coming duel. The President nominated John E. Clements, of Louisiana, to be United State* Consul »t Guatemala.

Saturday, March 26.— Senate. —The Senate passed the bill authorizing the Bishop of the Episcopal Church to transfer property of the churches held by him in trust directly to the churches themselves, and adopted an amendment to the Public Officers’ bill allowing all comity, township and municipal officers to interrogate the Attorney General.

Other bills of minor importance were passed.

Monday, March 28.—Senate.— The Senate frittered away the morning session without a quorum, and absorbed the principal part of the afternoon in discussing the section of the officers and offices bill relative to legal advertising. The minority report, recommending that insurance statements be printed as now provided by law, was concurred in after a sharp debate. Bills were introduced : For the refunding of money erroneously paid County Treasurers ; appropriating money to carry an appeals in divers will suits; providing for the registry of voters, and to prevent fraudulent practices at elections. The bill for the taxation of telegraph and telephone companies was laid upon the table, and the bill limiting the railway transportation of passenger- to 3 cents per mile was indefinitely postponed. The Compromise Medical bill was called up, but, owing to lack of a quorum, the motion that the Senate do not concur went over until to-mor-row. The bill providing for constructing a sewer for the Female Reformatory and Deaf and Dumb Asylum, the State to pay half the expense and the city of Indianapolis the other, was passed. House. —The House met at 2 p. m., and worked without a quorum on the Civil Code bill, which was read a third time. Tho dry routine work was relieved toward evening by the presentation of a Speaker’s ohair to the Speaker, Dr. Edwins, of Monroe, making the tender on behalf of the donors. Tuesday, March 29.—Senate.— The Senate referred the House bill embracing a codification of all the laws concerning common schools to the Educational Committee, first reading the bill by sections. The House General Appropriation bill occupied the remainder of the day and night sessions, with the exception of pas -ting the Officers and Offices act through third reading. Amendment s were made to the Appropriation bill increasing the salary of the Adjutant General, State Auditor and Printing Superintendent to $1,500 per annum. The nomination of Thomai Wilson, Jr., for Mine Inspector was confirmed. Hoijse.— The House worked famously in the transaction of necessary business. There were two lively subjects under consideration. The Compulsory Education bill failed ip pass for want of a constitutional majority—46 to 39. Two reports were had from the conference committee on the proposed Prohibition act, one recommending its passage. This report was adopted—s 3to 31.

House. —The House considered the resolution providing that the people shall vote upon .a prohibition amendment to the constitution to be known as article 17, and it was finally adopted, 55 to 35. The 6-per-cent, interest bill failed for want of a constitutional majority, 41 to 26, and an effort to secure a recall and the enforced attendance of “dodgers ” led to a spirited passage between Buskirk, of Monroe, father of the measure, and Gibson, of Clark, temporarily acting as Speaker. The report of the conference committee on the Practice act was concurred in. The State House corner-stone memorial business came up in the afternoon, and several hours were used in orations. The proposition to erect a soldiers’ monument costing $750,000 was voted down, 46 to 38. Another proposition to erect a $300,000 column in the colonnade of the State House was referred.

Revision bills were passed concerning the adoption of heirs, Circuit Courts, ferries, public holidays, which adds election days to the number, and concerning guardian and ward, and the powers of tities. ___________________ The Yote for President. The New York Spirit of the Times has been appealed to to settle numerous election bets, which it has been unable to do up to this time, owing to discrepancies in the various political almanacs. For that reason, as the paper says in its last issue, “ we determined to address the several Secretaries of State ourselves and publish a correct table when the full returns were received. These we have now.

DEMOCRACY.

The Old Name, (be Old Flag and the Principle* of Jefferson, Jackson and Tilden—A Tariff 'for He venue— View* of Representative Democrats. The Chicago Times, in a recent issue, contained a report of interviews with hundreds of representative Democrats the Northwest, suggested in the following interrogatories : 1. Are you in favor of making the next Presidential canvass on the issue of a “ tariff for revenue only ? ’’ 2. Do you believe it worth while, after the defeat of last November, to longer maintain the Democratic organization V 3. Would you favor a reorganization under another name, as the Whig party was reorganized into the Republican party after the defeat of Scott in 1852—making a revenue tariff and no “ protection ’’ the chief article of the new party’s political faith? The result of these interviews, the Times frankly admits, is not encouraging to those people who have been looking forward to the early disintegration of the great Democratic party. It says ; “ The current of opinion sets strongly against the disintegration of the party, and scarcely tho faintest echo of the wail of despair that went up when Hancock’s defeat was announced is now heard.” We present below the views of a few of the prominent Democrats interviewed by the Times' correspondents: Hon. Thomas A Hendrioks, of Indiana: I will say that unless there is a satisfactory reform in the tariff laws before the next Presidential canvass that subject ought to be, and will be, an issue. As against, a prohibitory, or exclusively-protective tariff, or any other that imposes unjust burdens upon the great mass of the people who are consumers of aracles imported, the Democratic party, I have no doubt, will favor a tariff for revenue that will, while looking to revenue as tbe principal object, wisely discriminate on the incidental protection afforded by the raising of such revenue, so as to best foster and encourage American industries without being unjust or oppressive to any class, and especially that large class of producers of wealth who are the least able to pay. It is not likely, however, that tariff reform will be the only issue in the next canvass. I know of no good reason why the Democratic organization should be abandoned. If its principles are right, tbe organization should be maintained as zealously in defeat as success, and the party has repeatedly been in a worse condition than it is to-day. It is In a far better condition than it was forty years ago, since which time it has administered the Government through several Presidential terms, during' which a great war was successfully prosecuted in a foreign land and a vast territory acquired, of incalculable value to this country for all time to come. It has preserved its organization through the strain and wreck of three great wars ; it has maintained it notwithstanding the whole power and patronage of the General Government has been continuously against it for over twi nty years, and yet in the last two Presidential elections it had the support of a majority of tbe American people. A party of the constitution, founded on the principles of Jefferson, with one-half tbe States and one-half tbe people on its side, is not likely either, to die or disband. It is much more likely to again come in possession of the Government, as it did in 1844. after the disastrous defeat of 1840. It is only a question of time. There is no necessity for a reorganization es the party, but I see no objection to making such a reform in the tariff as I have indicated a leading article of faith, as it hm been, in fact, heretofore.

Ex-Senator Joseph E. McDonald, of Indiana: I favor a tariff for revenue only and not for protection, but the canvass must have other issues. It would be folly to abandon a party casting a plurality of all the votes, and therefore the Democratic organization should be maintained. There is no necosrily of a reorganization as suggested. Hon. Frank Landers, of Indiana : It is hardly possible to make a canvass on “ a tai iff-i or-revenue-only” platform, for the reason that there may be a few interests that need an! should have protection. Certainly a canvass should not be made upon that issue alone. The present organization mast be kept up. I would not favor a new party. In my judgment the tariff question will become an important question in the next campaign, for it is one of vital interest to the country, so vital, in fact, that in time governments most interested will be compelled to agree to a mutual adjustment of the tariff, so that all will share alike in its advantages.

Hon. John H. Oberly, of Illinois : I believe iu the maintenance of the Democratic organization. I believe that the Democratic party is the advocate and defender of certain political principles the success of which is necessary to the continued maintenance of our form of government. Even in defeat the Democratic party has compelled the Republicans to pay a certain degree of respect to these principles. Abandon the principles of the Democratic party and the republic will fall. I would rather be defeated year after year all my life, as a Democrat, than succeed and enjoy the flesh-pots of place as a Republican. I am opposed to protection and in favor of a tariff for revenue only, but I don’t know that this will be the issue of the next Presidential canvass, and I don’t know that I am in favor of making the issue you speak of the issue of that canvass. I am in favor of making an issue with the Republican party, in the next canvass for the Presidency, on that matter of political concern which at the time will be forced by public opinion and a general demand of the citizens upon the atteution of political parties. lam opposed to a reorganization under another name, because such a reorganization would not deceive the public. A party called the Reform party, or the Liberal party, or the People’s party, advocating a tariff for revenue only, ana no protection, would be reoognized by everybody as the Democratic party attempting to disguise itself under a new name. If “ a tariff for revenue mily, and no protection,” can be and is made the one sole issue of the next Presidential campaign, I shall, acting as a Democrat, stand by and support the party which holds the affirmative of that issue, by whatever name that party may be called, against the party maintaining the negative of that issue, by whatever name it may bo called. Ex-Congressman Samuel S. Marshall, of Illinois : It is too soon to determine issues for 1884. There is no authority in the constitution for levying taxes for any purpose other than for revenue. A tariff for protection or prohibition is absolutely without constitutional authority, and in violation of every principle of a sound political economy. I am, therefore, for making “a tariff for revenue only” a prominent issue in every politioal contest. I believe it worth while to maintain the Democratic organization. That party now holds in its ranks a larger popular vote than any other party that exists, or ever has existed.; and, if we consider only that race which must ever bo the ruling race on this contin nt, the Democratic party has a plurality of 1,000,000 votes to-day. It seems to me preposterous to talk of disbanding such a party, or to doubt its ultimate success.

Hon. M. V. Montgomery, of Michigan: lam in favor of the success of that political paitv which advocates a “ tariff for revenue only, ’ and opposes a “tariff for protection.” It seems to me that the time has come when this question should be made one of the leading political issues. The Democratic party is a strong and powerful one. If it were manifest that a new organization were ready to be perfected which uromised to reform the tariff laws so that a “tariff for revenue only ” could be secured, and the centralization tendency of the General Government successfully opposed, I certainly should favor it. But until something tangible in that direction is promised, I cannot declare myself in favor of surrendering our organization. Hon. O. M. Barnes, of Michigan: I think the revenue tariff inevitable. A majoritv of Republican journals advocate a high protective tariff. The Democratic party is committed to “tariff for revenue only.” I see no justification for taxing imports any more than anything else but the need of revenue. The tariff should be adjusted for revenue, and be as low as possible. I am not in favor of abandoning tlio Democratic organization, and do not deem it in any way necessary to do so in order to make the issue referred to, as the Democratic party is already committed to a " tariff for revenue only,” favors the greatest freedom of trade, and opposes tariff monopolies. It should be maintained because of this. It has in it more voters than any other party in the nation, who should be rained to the support of this platform in 1884. Hon. Charles 8. May, of Michigan : I would make the next Presidential battle for a tariff for revenue only —as near free-trade as practicable and possible, but I would make it against

ring*, monopolies and corruptions generally, and for ciril-service reform also. Two weeks t»efore the October elections last fall the Republicans were beaten ■, then they raised the tariff cry, alarmed the business men, sollected a vast corruption fund, and went into tho market for votes. Now I would give them enough of the “tariff” and “protection” cry. They are on the wrong Bide of this issue—the unpopular side, and the people can be mado to see it in the end.

Hon. H. M. Martin, of lowa, one of the most prominent Democrats in the State, and an able lawyer, is in favor of having a revenue-tariff plank in the next national platform, but he does not think that tho only issue upon which to make the campaign. He favors a reorganization under another name, if need be, and on a plan that will unite the Liberal Republicans and the Democrats, or bring the best elements of all parties together, with civil-service reform, economy in national expenditures, a suitable tariff and patriotic devotion to the best interests of the country in view. A large number of other leading lowa Democrats were interviewed, and expressed similar sentiments. Gen. H. H. Sibley, of Minnesota, the acknowledged “father of his party" in the Stats, and a man whose age, ability and experience entitle him to that rank, says': lam in favor of making the next Presidential canvass on tho issue of a “tariff for revenue only," with the additional issue of a sweeping ohange in the navigation laws, which will encourage our citizens to compote with foreign nations for the carrying trade of the world on equal terms. I am strongly in favor of maintaining the Democratic name and organization intact. The results of the two last Presidential elections have demonstrated conclusively that there are more Democratic voters than Republican in the Union, and that if in the future the old and time-honered Democratic party will con3 no itself to living issues, and not encumber its platform with traditions of the dead past there is no reason to doubt, under competent leadership, that it will triumph in 1884. Hon. Edmund Rice, Democratic candidate for Governor of Minnesota in 1879 : A tariff for protection is vicious in principle. The consumers, who are many, needlessly pay a heavy extra tax ingeniously disguised to enrich the manufacturers, who are few. It is unjust to the many. It financially debauches the few, and deludes and misleads them. It degrades politics and legislation. If it was made equally applicable to all the productions of labor, every one would be on stilts, and one as tall as another, and so “ protection would fail to protect," as in some instances it does now. There is nothing in tho defeat of last November to discourage Democrats numerically ; it was nearly a drawn battle. No party could be found that would take the place of that party. It has accomplished a vast amount of good, and prevented much evil while in control of the lower house since 1874. The safety of the country depends upon its continued existence. Whether in or out of power, it has been and is to be the hope and refuge of tne people. It is the only party that has ever existed in this country that has at all times defended the integrity of the constitution. Many of its leaders have erred and blundered, and Will again. Many of its followers have gone aslray, and it has been afflicted with leaders sound on many, but not on, all its cardinal principles ; but time will, it is hoped, correct these evils. I favor a square flglit by tlio Democratic party against a tariff for protection, per se, and for revenue only, ana for free slops, and for the toast possible restriction upon tho sale of all commodities, whether produced iu this country or auy other, and I think 1 v ill not vote with any party that favors the opposite.

Judge Iloadley, of Ohio: lam in favor of “ a tariff for revenue only,” as is well known by my friends ; but there are other measures also of national importance which I regard as of perbnps more immediate consequence than the luriff question. We have an immense debt still, which must be reduced, and free trade should be brought about gradually so as not to impede too muca the reduction of this debt. If there were no national debt the tariff question would bo the most immodiate and pre sing necessity of the day. I consider the readjusting of the tariff so as to make it less burdensomo an important step for the American legislators to take. Congress has no power under tho constitution to tax one man for another. So I think the issue as aptly expressed in the Watterson plank, “tariff lor revenue only,” will always be a good one for the party to stand on. I am opposed to tho dissolution of the Democratic party. We were defeated by a profuse use of money in Indiana, and by that alone. Twelve thousand more votes in New York would have elected Hancock as it was. The Democratic party has always stood up for tho rights of the people, for the laborer as against tho oppression of the monopolist. Such a party will always bo necessary. If the Democratic party is to end I t-co no' end of usurpation—of the oppression of the poor by the rich. The Democratic party is the champion of equal rights. Iu my opinion, its only sin was committed when it went astray on tho slavery question. That is now past, however, and slavery has ceased Lo be an issue, borne one has said ho was in favor of abandoning capital punishment just so soon as the murderers would abolish murdor. As soon as the Republicans give up the attempt to alienate tho sections of .This country by arraying race against race ; to enrich the poor by protecting taxation and bank legislation; to enforce sumptuary and Sabbitariaii legislation ; as soon as it gives up tho idea that the people were made for the pai ty, and not the party for the people, then I’ll bo in favor of abandoning the Democratic party. lam in favor of the old name, the old Hag, appropriation or no appropriation, and the pnnciplos of Jefferson, Jackson and Tilden. Judge Wakely, one of the leading lawyers of Nebraska : lam for making the lowest possible tariff for revenue a prominent issue in tho next Presidential election, but, unless the Republican party reforms more rapidly than 1 have any expectation of, this should by no means be tho only issue. As the Presidency was stolen from the Democrats in 1876 and Hancock got a larger popular vote in 1880 than Garfield, arid would have been triumphantly elected but for Indiana mistakes, I am not for striking the Democratic flag now. Furthermore, the old name is good enough for me, but 1 have no serious objection to taking another if any good reason for it is developed. Judge James A. Mallory, who was tho Democratic candidate for Governor of Wisconsin three years ago, and who bas long been looked upon as one of the leading exponents of Democratic principles in the State, declared himself heartily in favor of giving all possible prominence to the free-trade issue iu the next Presidential campaign. He could see no reason why the party should reorganize on any different basis. He belierved the issues between the two great parties now are tho samo as in 1844, and he wanted to see the Democratic party make a bold stand against the nationalbanking system, the monopolies, and for a tariff for revenue onlv, and not be led to temporize. Hon. James G. Jenkins, of Wisconsin, who led the party in the campaign of 1879 for Governor, tninks it too early to decide upon wliat leading issue the next Presidential campaign should be conducted, but hois heartily in favor of the principle that the national tariff should be levied for revenue only.;

The Type of a Class.

There is the man who has made up his mind to keep his health good by eating the right sort of food in proper quantities, and with the right kind of mastication. Resolution sits on his brow, his eyes turn scornfully upon his fellowmen, and he deliberately and with malice aforethought sits in a restaurant with superbly folded arms, painfully working his mouth as if he were a type of Samson's celebrated jawbone engaged in the duty of slaying a bit of brown bread. He becomes a nuisance to his landlady or his wife; he buys a fish which he eats for his brains, and strug gles in the morning with harsh oatmeal and sour baked apples, chewing, chewing, chewing, while casting contemptuous glances around at the disgusted people who are not so good and are not going to be so healthy as he is to be. He turns his too out, abhors butter, and walks on the side of the street which is healthiest. His children receive no candy, and his wife receives only a Bcolding because she does not live up to the laws of health. He then becomes pale, fretful and morose, and says of a healthy man, “He lives for his stomach,” while he is dying for his.

A WONDERFUL DISCOVERT.

An Article That Will make the BaM and Cray Kejolre. [From the Pittsburgh Commercial.] Of all the oompounda which the chemist's art have given to the world, for hundreds of years, for the purpose of restoring the hair to its natural growth and oolor, not one has been perfect. Many of the hair dressings of the day are excellent, but the great mass of the stuffs sold for promoting the growth and bringing back the original oolor are mere humbugs, while not a few are positively pernicious in their effects upon the scalp and the structure of the hair. All hair dyes are well known to chemists as more or less poisonous,because the change in color is artificial and does not depend upon a restoration of the functions of the scalp to their natural health and vigor. The falling out of the hair, the accumulations of dandruff, and the premature ohange in oolor are all evidences of a diseased condition of the scalp and the glands which nourish the" hair. To arrest these causes the article used must possess medical as well as chemical virtues, and the change must begin undei the scalp to be of permanent and lasting benefit. Such ad article has been discovered, and, like many other wonderful discoveries, it is found to consist of elements almost in their natural state. Petroleum oil xs the article which is made to work such extraordinary results; but is after the best refined article has been chemically treated, and completely deodorized, that it is in proper condition for the toilette and receives the names of Carbolme. It was in far-off Russia that the effects of petroleum upon the hair were first observed; a Government officer having noticed that a partially bald-headed servant of his, when trimming the lamps, had a habit of wiping his oil-besmeared hands in his scanty looks, and the result was, in a few months, a much finer head of black, glossy hair than he ever had before. The oil was tried on horses and cattle that had lost their hair from the cattle plague, and the results were as rapid as they were marvelous. The m anes and tails of horses, which had failen out, were completely restored in a few weeks. These experiments wore heralded to the world, but the 'knowledge was practically useless to the prematurely bald and gray, as no one in civilized society could tolerate the use of refined petroleum as a dressing for the hair. But the skill of one of our chemists has overcome the difficulty, and by u process known only to himself he lias, after very elaborate and costly experiments, succeeded in perfecting Carboline, which renders it susceptible of being handled as daintily as the famous kau ok Cologne. The experiments witli the deodorized liquid, on the humaif hair and skin, were attended with the most astonishing results. A few applications, where the hair was thin and lulling, gave remarkable tone and vigor to the scalp and the hair. Every particle of dandruff disappears on the first or second dressing, all cutaneous diseases of the skin and scalp are rapidly aud permanently healed, and the liquid, to searching iu its nature, seems to penetrate to the roots of the hair at once, and set up a radical change from the start. It is well known that the most beautiful colors are made from petroleum, and by some mysterious operation of naturo the use of this article gradually imparts a beautiful light brown oolor to the hair, which, by continued use, deepens to a black. The color remains p armauent for an indefinite length of time, and the change is so gradual that the most intimate friends can scarcely detect its progress. In a word, it is the most wonderful discovery of the ago, and well calculated to make the prematurely bald and gray rejoice. The name Carboline has been given to the article.

Curious Calculations.

If we suppose the distance between the earth and the sun (about ninety-two and one-third millions of miles) to be reduced to a dozen rods or more, the size of the two globes to be reduced in the same proportion, the distance from the earth to the nearest fixed star would still be, on the same scale, about 9,000 miles, and to the more distant ones it would be not less than 18,000,000 miles. From those more distant stars the light must travel for sixty centuries before it reaches us—and yet light travels so fast that it would circle round the earth more than seven times in a single second of time. If the sun could be reduced, in imagination, to 1-100 of an inch in diameter, the earth would then be of microscopic size, about 1-10,000 of au inch, but the distance between it and the nearest star would not be less than three miles. If the sun were a hollow sphere and the earth were placed at its center, with the moon revolving around it in its established orbit, there would still be a distance of 200,000 miles from the lunar orbit to the surface of the solar sphere. If these relations of size and distance are inconceivable, the forces which compel the planets to move in their elliptical orbits are quite as much beyond our comprehension. A bar of steel three inches square will sustain a weight of 640 tons, but a bar having a section of 144 square inches would sustain 8,940 tons, which upon a railroad would require 864 cars to support it and twentythree locomotives to transport it. To deflect the moon from a straight course into its present orbit, or, what is the same thing, to retain it in its present course, would require the united strength of not less than eight steel bars, each 100 miles square, or, more accurately, a single bar whose section is 87,600 square miles—more than large enough to cover the States of New York and Ohio together. If this force were represented by a web of steel wires, each one-quarter of an inch in diameter, stretched from the earth to the moon, they would be distributed over our earth on the moon side only six inches apart, and if a similar web were stretched from the earth to tho sun the foroe exerted between these two bodies would require the wires to cover one side of the earth as close together as blades of grass upon a lawn. — Prof. C. B. Waring.
