The Republican party in the late can
vess pronounced for protection-for high
tariff The Democratic leaders should
hold the Republicans to the record. Let
1t be fight on revenue reform for the
next four years and in the contest the
Democracy should take the stand for tariff
for revenue only. To do other than this
would be a surrender of the most Vita
principle of the party. The Republican
papers are already preparing to flop and
it need occasion no surprise if. in less than
two years they will be boldly asserting
that they always favored tariff fo,
revenue only. Once the people fully IN
dsrstand the true meaning of revenue re-
form they will flock to the support of the
party which advocates it. and overwheIm'
ingly defeat the party which opposes. To
such an issue it will be the south aud west
against few eastern states, and the out
come can readily be predicted The De-
mocraey is the original party of revenue
reform and on this issue should make o
manly fight for victory. 1t is the winning
card because the peoples measure.

The Ex-Enpress Eugene.
Toudnn World

II was the queen who prevailed on the
Empress Eugene to give up her intention
of going to Arenenberg, taking with her
the mortal remains of the late emperor
and Of the prince imperial. One of the
chief reasons for leaving Chiselhurst, but
not the only one, was the impossibllity OF
erecting a mausoleum there to those whom
the empress had loved aud lost. The
prime difficulty was getting site. There
is, it is true. to the westward OF the little
church of St. Mary . field which would
have done, but it is the property OF rich
city firm, who, for some reason or another;
would not, or could not, listen to any
terms of purchase. Il was then suggested
that the memorial chapel might be built
on the north side of the church; but here
a difficulty OF another kind arose; it is q
superstition among Roman Catholics of
some countries that the sun never shines
upon graves placed to the north OF q
church. The plan had. therefore. to be
sbandoned; and it was then that the en-
press solicitor bethought himself of Farm"
borough bill, the estate OF the late Mr.
Longman. One of the great attractions
of the place for tho empress Is naturally
its proximity to Win isor, O. which 1t Is
within an easy drive. Il is also close to
Bagshot, the seat of The duke of Con-
naught. The house itself Is modern. hsv
ing been built by the late Mr.. L1ngman.
The gardens are extensive, with graparies.
fernerg. greenhouses and orchid houses.
The ornamental grounds, which cover
about eighty acres, have artificial lakes.
with small wooded islands. The estate
com prises, besides, nine cottages aud a
farm. which is at present unlet-a hint to
those who wish to haye an empress for
their landlady.
