Tus Washington Republican will say that the doctrine of protection involves the duty of providing lucrative markets for the producta of our industries as completely as it does their defense against competition from the products of cheap foreign labor. Those who complain of hard times should remember that while wages and salaries are moderately low, the co3t of all articles of fcod and wearing apparel i3 even more reduced. With much smaller wages, therefore, than ten years ago, one can actually hie far more comfortably to-day. It is a singular fact that the cause of prohibition is making more progress In Georgia than anywhere else out of New England. The Prohibitionists are In a majority in the Heese of Representatives, and they appear determined to pass a general local option law. Ninety counties in the State have partial or total prohibition. As our. exports last month, nearly f,00O,(10 a day, were greater than during any previous December except that of 1SS0 and lsv2, while our imports were less than during the same month of any previous yeir, without any exception whatever, the I.alancc of trade is evidently where it ouzht to be, and the indications of better times are tncouragirg. Hello! Hello! Hello! The News-Jouonal, or the Journal-News, has split its mutual admiration partnership en a theological question. One thinks a preacher is not "called" any raore than thos9 of other avocations, while the other draws the line on "brakemen." Shakespeare, however, says: -Tbere is a divinity that shape oar end," etc. The colosasil cheek of the combination, however, never has any difficulty in getting tid of Shakespeare. Through the Chicago Tribune we gather that it is rumored that one of the young so ciety men who were concerned in the disgraceful row at a party in Washingtan between young Holman and Senor de Castro has been severely whipped by his father, vbo remarked that if his son had not manhood enough to keep out of such scrapes he as not too ell to be treated as a child. By the way, some of the papers bear a little too hard on young Holman. He acknowledged his fault and apologized for it. That should end the matter. Geneüal Sloctm, in alluding to the "retirement" of Geteral Grant, said in a recent interview: "My preference is decidedly for the bill in the uscal form, but I will support either bill. The good feeling of the House Committee toward General Grant is shown by the fact that it instructed me to bring up the first bill before the second was ever introduced or thought of. This shows the committee to be earnestly in favor of retiring General Grant, and that the present muddle is no trick to defeat the measure, as many peorle seem to think." The bill introduced a fe days a?o by Senator Weir, cf Laporte, and referred to the Committee on Pablic Health and Vital Statistics, is it. spirit, if not in letter, one of the most important and meritorious measures ever brought to the consideration of the Legislature, and there should be but little question about its passage. It aiopts the old motto that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of care, and is in the line of education of all manufactures; as to the best medfs ot constructing and maintaining their establishments with least risk of fire, explosions or other disaster, thereby tending to lessen losses, csst of insurance risks, damages, etc. To the laborer it is a boon that ghonld not longer be withheld. It looks to

his comfort, health, and protection from the ever common casualties of his calling. Wo notice it is very similar to a law p&ased by tke Legislature cf Ohio one year ago almcst unanimous. Governor lloally appointed a very competent man, and the first year's experience is most satisfactory to all parties. The raanu'acturing interests of the State and enlightened humanity call for prompt action that vre cay keep abreast of practical legislation in our sister States, in this behalf as veil as all others of a kindred character.

SOUTHERN SENTIMENT AND THE OLD BELL. The old Liberty Bell was receive! with great "eclat" at New Orleans. It passed iDto the Southern metropolis amid salvos of artillery and the cheers of the people. Canal street, the Broadway of the city, was thronged with citizens and others of various rationalities. The reception was genuine, patriotic and creditable. There Is a clan of blocdy-shiit organs in the North which do not propose to have any good feeling between the sections so long as there is a hope cf making any political capital by keeping up a semblance of strife or misrepresenting Southern position and opinion. Therefore it was that tte proposition to send the old bell to New Orleans was received by these bloody-shirt organs either by covert sneer or downright opposition. When the Major of Philadelj hia took a liberal, broad gauged view of the proposition, seconded by the masses of the teople and a large majority of the press of tLe North, the thought was suggested that the old bell might aid in restoring some of tLe eld brotherly feeling. Theclass of Republican Bourbon newspapers referred to ceased their open opposition at least. Their correepondents, however, ia New Orleans have been charged with the virus of the home tapers, and we look In vain for any descripticn in their columns of the really generous, patriotic and great-hearted reception that the old tell met with. From reading an account, and the first one that came under notice, the impression made was that the bell had made its entry into New Orleans and passed through its streets amid an awfully barbarous and suggestive silence. The fact is that the grand old relic has had a magnificent trinmphal tour. liven at the heme of Jeff Davis the New Orleans Times ssje: When the train tearing the Liberty Bell drew up at BeauToir, anions: the iare crowd assemble! at tte station to view the venerated relic of the Revolution and sire a passing salute, was a little tr&nil daughter of JeSerson Davis Varina Daria Hayes. As sewn as the tr in stopped one of the guard. Sergeant Edward Malin, to humor the child's wishes, took her irom the arms of her negro nure and held her up to the bell, which she f cgerly embraced and fervently but reverently kified, exclaimicg: ' God bless the dear old bell." '1 he pretty incident was greeted with cheers and created quite a furore of pleasant excitement. wMi h bad not entirely subsided wnen Mr. Davis himself arrived with his escort. It made a pretty picture the old relic, surrounded by its imposing guard of stalwart oniccrs in uniform, the sargin multitude, all eager to Be, and the beaming lace of the lovelychild as the threw her arms around the bell she had been taught to love, and pressed her ros lips upon its lace of bronze caressingly. The child then had baen "taught to love'' he bell, and therefore the childish outburst cf glee when her eyes beheld it. The blooJy shirt organs might gather a lesson here. Let them teach their readers to love the entire I'nion and not one section of It. This Southern journalthe Times from which we quote, concludes its reference to the Ceauvoir incident as follows: There was lo responsive movement oa thepirt of -Old Independence," but if its coM au inanimate lips could have been unsealed, we may we;I irragine it would have uttered, with joyous iteration: "Proclaim liberty and love througnou: the !and and unto all tue inhabitants thereof." othin? could more forcibly Illustrate, or eloquently voice, the patriotic sentiment of tüeeulire t-outh than the simple and spontaneous act of this little child, wnose lessons have beeu learned ucdtr the roof-tree of Jeilerson Davis, the defea'td. jet dignified, noble and illustrious leader of the Confederacy. A LONG TIME BETWEEN DRINKS. It is recorded that oo one ocsaäion the Governor of South Carolina remarked to the Governor of North Carolina that "it was a long time between drinks. ' Franklin J. Moses, ex Governor of South Carolina, might make fan remark occasionally with marked emphasis. He had just finished a term of ninety days in a Detroit work-house last Tuesday, and had hardly time to make the remark referred to, wben he was pounced upon by a minion of the law from Massachusetts and quickly hurried off to the old Bay State. Mo-ei has already spent two years in the State Prisou of Massachusetts. It ssems that his last arrest after getting out of the Detroit Work-house was tae result of swindling operations perpetrated at Cambridge, Mass., before he went to Detroit. He called at Harvard University and made the acquaintance of Colonel Higginson and nearly all of the Professors. Representing himself to be a well-known Southern writer of National reputation, his appearance and gentlemanly manners deceived them all, and he obtained loans of $00 to 75 from nearly ail the Professors h& called upon. In Boston he played the same game on several wellknown literary men. Colonel Higginson was so incensed that he procured the indictment of Moses by a Grand Jury of Middlesex County, Massachusetts. On Saturday an officer arrived in Lansing, Mich., armed with all the necessary paper for Moses extradition, and obtained the document from Governor Alger in time to re arrest Moses as soon as he was set at liberty at Detroit. He had been arrested in October for swindling Rev. Dr. Rexford. Rev. T. C. Pitkins and ethers in Detroit. He represented himself as Rev. Dr. Hicks, of Wahlneton, D. C. He was convicted and cent to the House of Correction for ninety days. These series of long imprisonments makes the time "between drinks" seem lengthy indeed. Moses is therefore entitled to full credence and profound sympathy when he has another opportunity as the ex-Governor of 8outh Carolina to say to the Governor of North Carolina, or anybody else, that it is "a long time between drinks." It is worthy of remark that the 1 dLningaiiaei ex-Goyeraor 0i Sjata Car

olina was the Republican Governor of that State during the season that the "g. o. p." was forcing ita plundering recanstructlng measures upon the Southern people. He was a type cf that fearful and wonaerful class of rascaldom that could not possibly have any being except under the fostering care of the reconstruction policy forced upon the South during the dark and barbarous days of Republican thievery and corruption. Yea, yerily, Mr. Moses, "it is a long time between drinks" for you at last.

THE ABSURD PROTECTIVE POLICY. Mr. David A. Wells, of Connecticut, was up to 1S71 a rank protectionist, So prominent was he by his arguments in favor of high tariff that a Republican administration sent him on a Government mission ot investigating the manufacturing industries of Europe. But in the performance of his duties a light shlned from the conditions about him, showing him that the protection laws he bad so earnestly espoused were burdensome to the working classes and the industries of the United States. He was proselyted alter the manner of St. Paul, and h&3, since h;s return home twelve years ago, been a zealous worker for tariff reform. In an address recently delivered by Mr. Wells before the Brooklyn Revenue Reform Club on "The Absurdity of the Protective Policy," he made certain suggestions and arguments which not even Mr. Randall has the temerity to a tack He was backed with official statistics showing that within the last ten years, while the average wages of operatives in free 'trade Great Britain hive increased 5 per cent., wagfa in the highly protected State of Massachusetts have decreased 10 twt cent Ha argued that an aggregate of 1" per cent, represents more tban the savings of the most economical laborer. He holds that the British laborer gets as great an advantage from the present low price of food products a3 does his American brother, and even greater; yet Great Britain is a free trade country and America has protection. Coal is protected by a duty of seventy-five cents a ton; yet how many coal miners get seventy-five cents a ton for mining, or what influence has protection on the price of ccal? A railroad pool places the price of coal where it wishes. The highest average wages paid in this countries are in industries which are least protected. Where is the equity in taxing the public to make any business profitable? Grant that wages are higher here than in England, and waive the point as to whether a day's wages in America will purchase more than a day's wages in England, does it prove that protection is better than free trade? If so, why is it that wages are higher in frae trade England than in protection Germany? And why is it that in China, where there has been a prohibitory tariff for the last 3,000 years, the average wages are six cents a day? Professor Swing, in his a-sthetic sermon of last Sunday, among other alleged flowery things placed the following in his weekly bouquet: One of the most conspicuous indications of Kreatness ia Mr. Blaine will henceforth be found in the calmness with which he accepted his defeat in the recent politictl contest. With all due deference to the acknowledged exalted position which the Chicago preacher holds, the above strikes the flatfooted Democratic observer as supremely misapplied, not to say untrue; for the truth i?, as has heretofore been remarked all over the land, there never was a candidate defeated for the Presidency who was so purtnrbed as James G. Blaine. His open malice toward hia political foes, his unmanly charges against the South and hi3 snarling, sore-head conduct to those of his own party whom he suspects as treacherous to him, are matters of common notoriety. The Madison Herald, a Democratic paper, says: "We hare perfect faith In Treasurer Cooper, but art -not impressed favorably with the manner In which his party friends have accepted the suzestton made ty Governor Porter concerning hiui in his message." Journal. Perhaps yon do not know that the laws of Indiana made it obligatory upon Governor Porter to investigate the affairs of the State Treasury during his tenure of office. He neglected to do it, but was brimfull of "suggestion" to the Legislature to take the job off his hands. The Legislature will attend to the matter without any "suggestions" from Mr. Porter or his party organs. The Democratic Senate of Indiana refuses, by a strict party vote, to investigate the anairs of the rtate Treasury , exen tnoa?fi it hai alraaiy been shown that the public funds are not deposited in the places designated fcy law. The causa of reform in Indiana seems t be suffering from an nttacKof malaria. Philadelphia Tress. The Democratic State of Indiana has done nothing of the kind. You are not posted. Read up. The late Republican Governor Porter, of Indiana, however, neglected "to investigate the affairs of the 8!ate Treasury." The law made it his duty to do so, and he t ever made the falcteit attempt to do it. It is astonishing what an amount of virtue, intelligence and statesmanship i3 discovered in a man after he has been elected United Sfatei Senator. Here is Mr. Evarts, whom the Republicans have fairly let go to seed permitted him to oxydize, as it were, in their service all at once looming, up, not only as the very quintessence of everything that is requisite in a first-class t-enator, but is spoken of as phenominally good Presidential timber for ISrS.

Wilkii Collins has just celebrated hia birthday anniversary. Or the young lrdies in the Normal College in New York, 23 per cent, are Jewesses. The United States Government has in its employ 400 John Smiths and 800 Joneses ard Johnsons. A large number of members of the present Connecticut Legislature were born in Massachusetts. A New York tramp, arrested the other day, boasts of having been imprisoned as a vagrant in 131 different jails. Mrs. Francis Hodgson Bursett is spending a few weeks In Boston to get treatment for the nervous troubles from which she still sutlers. It is rumored that Governor Pattison, of Pennsylvania, will enter the Methodist Episcopal ctiurch ministry at the close of his term of office. Liverpool has been presented with a marble bust of Mr. Gladstone, "because," as the denor says, "the Premier is one of Liverpool's most illustrious sons." John W. Bookwalter, the Ohio millionaire, free trader, and manufacturer, is reported to have purchesel a villa on the Mediteranean Sea, where he will deyote himself to literature and art. Tue 1st Rev. William H. Channing left three children, a son distinguished at Oxford, a daughter who is the wife of Edwin Arnold, and an unmarried daughter who lives with Mis. Channing In London. Josarn Anderson is one of the handsomest young men in London society this winter. His face is thoroughly classical, like that of his sister, Miss Mary Anderson. He is a good actor, a good fellow, a frequenter of the studios, much liked by the artists and the devoted friend and companion of his sister. The ex-Khedive of Egypt, who is now moyirg in London society, wears two glistening blood drops in his cutla, surrounded by brilliants, which are the rubies of the "Redeemer," brought from Abyssinia by a Coptic Bishop. There were four of them, but the other two, the gift of Ismail, were missing from the corpse of Abdul Aziz when he was discovered dead and bloodle33 in the Dolma Baktche place.

Charges end accusations are recklessly made against us, not because we have any share in the crime, but only because the British police are too stupid to find out the real criminals. St. Louis Tost Dispatch. There is no more occasion for Senator Edmunds to get excited over the murder in London, England, tban over the murder in Jackscn, Mich. The United States Government ha3 nothing to do with either. Detroit Evening News. Isn't is a mistake to assume that Illinois needs another Senator at Washington? The senior Senator has been haunting the lobby of the Leland House since New Year's, and the session at Washington goes right along. If Senator Logan is not needed at the seat of government, why send him thither? If it is already determined to return him why does he loaf and linger at Springfield? There is an intimation in the dispatches that Mrs. Logan baa ordered bitn back. Mrs. Logan's head is levtl. She sees the incongruity and abeurdity of the General's present position. Chicago Herald. Senator Hill, of Colorado, is bitterly disappointed at his defeat for re-election, and threatens to make it warm for his successful rival. Teller, concerning whom he fcas collected, he says, some very damaging facts. He says that Teller is directly interested in the illegal leasing of lands in Indian Territory, and was some time ago the means cf securing the appointment as Land Agent of a man known to be a gambler, ena even then engaged in running the principal gambling ealoon in the place. It doesn't lock, however, as if Hill could do very much harm. Teller's term in the Cabinet is eo short that he can't be injured in that direction, and such trilling allegations can have no eilect whatever on Teller's constituents, wno are always ready to take every possible advantage of poor Lo, and who, a year or two ago, sent one of their citizens to the United States Senate principally because he bad acquired great local repute as a poker player. Chicago Times.

The Weekly Sentinel is unquestionably the best newspaper in the State and merits the patronage of every Democrat in the county. It is reliably Democratic at all stages and did much during the recent campaign to briDg about the overwhelming defeat of the Repcblcan party in this State. It commenced an aggresive campaign early, and continued to throw bomb shells into the Radical camp until the g. o. p. surrendered. Tipton Time?. The Indianapolis Sentinel is now taking high rank among Western newspapers, and is giving promise of becoming a tower of strength in Indiana politics. During the late campaign it did valiant service for the cause of Democracy. It was earnestly aggressive, and planted its blows with commendable directness and force. It developed the sagacity of leadership and kept the enemy on the defensive from the be

ginning to the end of a campaign that resulted in a glorious victory for the hosts of Democracy. The leader of the Republican party sought to shiver its lances by drawing around him the protection of the law, but the law does not protect the guilty, however promptly the galled jade may seek refuge within the realms of justice. The law was held as a club over the Sentinel's head to drop powerless in the end from impotent hands. Aside from the great political victory of this year in which it shared, the Sentinel has achieved a victory of its own. Logansport Fharos. DYNAMITE NOTES.

Cunningham, the Alleged Dynamiter, and Ills Reported Antecedents. St. Louis, Jan. 20 The Post-Dispatch printed an article this evening, based on a statement by a person whom it calls a wellknown lecal dynamiter, to the effect that Cunningham, now under aire it in London in conrection with the recent explosion at the tower, is the same young fellow who, two years ago, lived here and was written of at the time as an explosive and infernal machine maker, and full of schemes to blow up all the buildings of London. He was known here as Michael J. Byrne. He was a harnessmaker by trade, and devoted his spare time money to experiment in explosives and making infernal machines. He also lived in Chicago, where he was known as James Gilbert, and in Philadelphia, where he went by the name of James Cunningham. He claimed to have beeu obliged to leave Ireland because he was implicated in the murder of a landlord, but this story was not much relied upon by his friends. He was In Denver last August, but since then has not been heard lrom. One of Byrne's pet schemes was to organize a band of 100 men. aU t killed in the manufacture and use of explosives, to go to London, and on a certain dav give a signal to simultaneously explode the machines under the walls of public buildings. Engine-IIonse III own to Atoms, Perth, Ont., Jan. 20.Six dynamite cartridges left on the floor of the engine-house of the Tay Canal Works, all Bsveridge Bay, exploded this morning, blowing the house to atom3. A man named .Lewis, in charge of the explosives, and George McDonald, son of the contractor, were fatally injured. Another man, named Buchanan, was severely hurt. Will lloycott ltayard and Cobb. Chicago, Jan. 2'J A prominent member of the Fenian Brotherhood is authority for the statement that at a meeting of the IrishAmericans here this aflernoon the resolution introduced in the United States Senate by Senator Bayard was denounced, and that the Irish supporters of Congressman Cobb, of Indiana, were requested to show their appreciation of his conduct upon his return home. It was declared that at a meeting 7,C0O were subscribed to be employed as a skirmishing fund against England. A SLIGHT SENSATION. Sir. Clevelatd Calls Itandall and Carlisle to a Conference. Albany, N. V Jan. 21. What appeared to be a sensational paragraph was printed in the Journal this evening. It was to the effect that President elect Cleveland was visited late last night by ex-Speaker Randall, in response to a letter "of invitation sent to him at Washington. Immediately after his arrival here, Randall was driven to Cleveland's temporary abode, where the two men held a conference lasting for several hours This mcrning the talk was resumed and at its conclusion Randall returned to New York. Sp? aker Carlisle is also mentioned as having been invited by Cleveland, and is expected to arrive on Saturday morning. Colonel D. S. Lamont, Private Secretary of the President-elect, corroborates the statement that Randall was here and in consultation with the President-elect, and that Carlisle is expected, but beyond that he was extremely reticent. Rumor has it that the Presidentelect is not satisfied with the way things are going on in Congress, and wants Randall and Carlisle to adoptsome fresh and vigorous policy. Of course nobody has the smallest particle of information as to what took place between Cleveland and Randall, but it is the general belief that nothing in the line of cabinet appointments was mentioned. ANOTHER JUNE FIRED. New Straitsvllle Agaia Kxcitert A ()()( liiaze. MOO,. New Straitsville, O., Jan. 23. This town was thrown into a state of great excitement this morning by an alarm of fire. It is discovered that Plummer Hill Mine has been fired and is now burning with terrible fierceness-. The mine fire is in the heart of a splendid coal bank, and no hopes are entertained of putting it out till the entire mine is destroyed. It is said to be valued at $200,000. Tne gas from the tire is so terrible it is uncomfortable to be on the street. Fire and smoke are comiDg out of all the entrances to the mine, and the scene Is grand. It is not known who the perpetrators are, but it is charged to the miners, as a detail of guards was placed there yesterday, and the miners thrtatened to create trouble if that wa dene. Additional bitterness is caused by this fresh outbreak. Mnncle Items. Special to the Sentinel. Mtncie, Ind., Jan. 20. The ead news of the sudden death of Mrs. Sunderland, wife of John hunderland, a wealthy young farmer of this county, reached here this morning. They lived a few miles southwest of the city. Late in the evening Mrs. Sunderland was seized with a violent pain in the head, and was immediately thrown into spasms, and died in a very few minutes. She wa3 an excellent youcg woman, having been married but a short time, and her bereft husband 13 all but heart-broken with grief. Wil iam Pitser, a wealthy farmer of Mt. Pleasant Township, this county, a few dys ago l)f came insane. It seems that he had some difficulty in regard to a public ditch, for the construction of which he was taxed several hundred dollars, and which ht claims would be of no benefit to his farm. Brooding ovtr the apparent injustice for several days, and tindinz no way to remedy it, he lost control of himself, and is now said to be a ravicg maniac. He is well connected, highly respected, and his sad condition elicits much sympathy and pity for himself and hi distressed family. Rev. N. B. Rairden, aRer several years' pastoral work with the First Baptist Cnurch of this city, Jsst night tendered his resignation to the chnrch session, ths same being accepted, to take place April 1, 1S-G. Mr. Rairden's relations with the church have been the mcst amicable, and his resignation is grefct'y regretted by citizens as well as members of hi3 church. Daring ;his stay

here the church has been built up fron mission to a felf-sustalning sosisty and all debts have been paid. It 13 not stated what he shall now do, though it is intisiated that he will go West and accept a Professorship in a school, a position which he has heretofore been urged to accept, but has declined. A Moat Horrible 31 ard er.' Bibmingiiam, Ala., Jan. 2:. A special to the Age from Jonesboro, Ala., says; most horrible murder was the killing last night near here of Bennett Tarsons, a respectable farmer seventy-two years of age, between O and 10 p. m. According to their Jtory, Mrs. Parsons and two daughters went 'o the stable for something, and during their absence from the house they heard the report of a gun. They paid little attention to it, as it is not an exceptional occurrence, and returning to the house, retired. They declare they did not find out that Farsons was shot until morning, when they found his body badly burned lying on the hearth in his room. The Coroner's Jury rendered a verdict today, that "Bennett Parsons came to his death by being shot with a gun, we believe in the hands of his wife; we also believe his two daughters were accessary to the crime."

Marder Will Out. St. Thomas, Ont., Jan. 2J. At the examination of Mrs. Stillwelt and Jane Forbes, charged with being accessory to the murder of Louis Stillwell, Miss Dickey testified that Mrs. Stillwell offered her a gold watch and some jewelry to poison Stillwell. Albert Thomas, who, with Ranscm Forbes, is under arrest as the principal, made a confession to the Judcre. He eaid he and Forbes had been offered 200 by Mrs. Stillwell to put Stillwell out of the way. They went out shooting with their victim on New Year'" Day for the purpose, and Forbes fired the shot which killed him. They then went and told Mrs. Stillwell, who said, "I'm glad it's done." She then warned Thomas to keep his mouth shut and nothing could ever be proved. Forbes afterward told Thomas what to awesr to at the inquest and to "keep a stiff upper lip.,v The World's EipoittUn. New Orleans, Jan. i'J. There was a large attendance at the Exposition to-day. Visitors are rapidly arriving, most of them to remain until after the Mardi Gras. In the main building all the exhibitions are in place, and in a few days the sound of the saw and hammer will be unheard except in the way of improvement. It was the original Intention to place the Liberty bell on the platform in the center of the Government building, but this evenirg it was learned that the committee had decided to place it iist as it hangs on the car in the main buildu g near the Mexican silver nugget. It U further understood that the final locating of the bt-11 will take place on Wednesday nett with appropriatejeeremonies. Roeecran and Graut. Washington, Jan. 29. In explanation of the opposition of General Rosecrans to the bill for retiring General Grant, some papers have published two dispatches, purporting to be from General Grant, and sent during the war to Stanton and Halleck.one demanding Roeecrans' removal, and the other ordering hia arrest in a certain contingency. When General Rosecrans' attention was celled to the dispatches named and the cornthereon, he said: "This is the first intimation I have ever had of the existence of any such diepatches or of any ground up:n which such telegrams might be bmed." Th Death Roll. New York, Jan. 2f. John Van Arsdale, one of the descendants of the old Ditch family of the name, died at his home in this city, Tuesday night, eighty-one years old.
