Revelations.

The "Boss,n Mr.. VIM. Tweed, or
"Big Six" has surely IA fine memory and
also fund of anecdOte, that has all the
interest of n. Y. Ledger serial. His
way of telling ''what he knows" of cleo
tions, is very convincing to all parties.
1t beats the ''three card monte" game,
and we have an idea the next time the
ballotIng at New York City polls takes
place, there will be little counting of
individual votes, instead of ''taking
them in bundles"
The only effect of his disclosures will
probably be, the prevention of any
more election frauds, for Il while, and
deposing from official life and political
preferment, the men he bought, and the
men who shared the plumber with him,
and then deserted the sold man." 1t
was a gigantic steal, and no mistake,
aud the amounts stagger one, and read
like the ''Arabian Nights Tales"
1t would be well for all cities and
municipalities to examine into theiT
charter "and things" and see if any lit
tie game is going on in percentages. y
1t is not improbable, for ''there's Il
good deal of human nature nowadays"

SENATOR MORTON's CONDITION.
Senator Morton was a good deal cheered
up by the presidents call last week,
told his family he was sure of getting
well, and refused to keep his son longer
away from college. But it seems to
have been only temporary improve
ment, and there is scarcely any intelli-
gent expectation of his recovery. His
paralyzed, and paralysis is the disease
which carried off his grandfather, father
and brother. His mind remains as Wig
orous as ever, he insists upon knowing
all that is going on in the world, and
talks confidently of being in his seat at
Washington in December, but it is
much more likely that he will never
leave his house alive.

A New York firm has been drumming

now it turns out to be nothing but
painted iron, which will have to be re-
painted every year to make it look de-
cent.

The Bible which Father GrOgan of

out of a window of a railroad car, (be-
cause as he claimed it had obscene writ
ing in it), has been found near Kanka-
kee, ILL.,, and placed in the hands of the
conductor, who procured his arrest.
The scandalous illustrations and obscene
interlineations, which shocked the rev.
erend gentleman, cannot be found in
the book. The conductor has turned
the pages from Genesis to Revelation,
and the only pencil-mark is il slight
tracing opposite verse in the first
chapter of Samuel.
The Boston committee to investigate
the cause of the fall of the staging at

port that the work was mere sham,
that 'every principle of strength was
violated in its constructions" and they
"cannOt conceive that a mechanic in
speeding these structures should have
pronounced them safe" But the builder
and inspector try to throw the response
bility on others, and it does not appear
where it will finally rest, though there
was pretty clearly carelessnesS and in
competency all around.

MOoDY's HEALTH.-We learn, on
what seems the best authority, that
Mr.. Moody is paying the penalty for
over-work. He was greatly worn down
at the close of the Tabernacle meetings
last spring, and his nervous system has
not recuperated as he hoped it might.
In fact, he has been unable to do much
solid studying this summer, and has
had considerable trouble in his head.
This state of things has led him to the
decision not to undertake the coming
seasons the charge of meetings on the
same great scale us at Chicago and BOs-
ton, but rather to visit Il large number
of smaller places in different sections of
New England. -COngegatiOnalist.

Senator from Missouri, who died, Thurs
day, was born in st. Genevieve, April
9, 1913, and was, consequently, at the
time of his death, in his siXty-fifth year.
He entered ii store as clerk and served
a number of years, but afterwards
studied law. He at once began the
practice of his profession in St. Louis
and went into politics, serving in the
State Legislature several terms. He
was Commissioner of Indian affairs
under Johnson's administration in 1867
and 1868. In 1872, lie was elected to
the Senate to succeed Frank p. Blair,
taking his seat March 4, 1873.

The Tariff. ---Live and Dead Issues.

While some old issues are done away
with, we have national questions that
the freebooter and voter must dispose
of, and which for vital Importance are
second to none that proceed. The far
mers, mechanics and laborers of the
New England States must not lose their
record as thinking men, and for voting
as they think. Senator Edmunds put
in at our fair an able appeal to beware
of initiation of the currency. We regard
the currency as it is safe representa-
ton of its face value. We join hands
with our keen-s sighted legislator in de-
nOuncing deteriOrating our credit by
seems to be taking care of itself, but
our honest conviction, as we have be-
fore stated, is that the system of tariff
imposts is rObbing our industries instead
of protecting them.
We beg the most earnest attention of
men who are above party to take time
ly note and warning of this question,
and be prepared to give their votes on
the subject in such way as will throw
the balance in the right
The tariff protects few industries,
and the people at large pay the protec-
ton in shutting off competition in those
few productions. The iron interests of
Pennsylvania would move heaven and
earth to bar out foreign competition, if
nature would allow them to. Wherever
an impOst is now placed, the consumer
has to pay exactly the protection to the
manufacturer of that particular article.
1t is not protection that cheapens that
article to our people, but wholly, pure
ly, and entirely a contribution to the
stockholders and managers of some one
industry, and levy on all others that
need that protected" article as neces-
sity or luxury.
No chain of argument can alter this
fact. The tariff charges the people with
the margin that these men want over
what they would legitimately make il
foreign goods had free entry into ou1
ports.
For so important subject it has a
remarkably easy solution. When mo-
nOpolists advance their pleas beware
how you are taken in. Wipe out the
tariff, and the money stays by the peo-
pie that now goes to fatten monopolies,
enrich officials, and the very small bal
ance goes into the United States Treas
ury to be again spent in keeping custom
house officers straight.

tlebOro Insane Asylum few months
ago, was recently discharged apparent
ly nearly cured. Tuesday morning he
piled lot of chairs on the railroad
track, and then stopped the train by
waving red handkerchief and told the

IL In the telegraphic history of the
Presidents journey, one little incident
ought not to escape notice. 1t is said
that the reception OF the President at
the house of one of the citizens of Nash
vile had the effect of breaking down
the barriers that the war had built up
in the society of the city, and that the
ladies who had been sympathizers with
the Confederate cause seemed anxious
to receive their northern visitors with
"a most assuring cordially The Incl
dent is of no Importance except as
showing the effect that the Presidents
visit may have already had in fusing
sections of the people which, till now,
have stood apart. The wish to bring
about this reconciliation is the burden
of all the Presidents speeches, and
even a slight progress towards its full
filment would be enough to have made
his visit worth whitley. Y Tribune.

V- The Tribune correspondent who
is accompanying President Hayes dur
his Southern trip, says the hurrahs of
the crowds are very hearty, but that
while as rule fully half of every au-
dience is composed of cOlored people,
''raIely was black man seen to join in
the shoutings." ''If," he adds, ait had
been Gen. Grant making a tour i'm the
South, they would have cracked their
throats; but they are suspicious of Mr.
Hayes-if, for no other reason, because
they see the white folks like him. -
The demonstrations in honor of Wade
Hampton are especially enthusiastic,
and at one station the audience was so
rude as to call for him before waiting to
hear the President.
