Let the tariff be revised, let the internal
revenue system be abolished, and let the
appropriation bills of this session give
evidence that the warning of the people
has not only been heard, but that it has
been needed, and the future of the Repuo-
lican party will take care of itself.

The Sneakersbip.

A lively triangular fight is going on over
the Speakership of the FOrty-eighth Con-
gress. which, we trust, may not be carried
to the point of endangering the harmony
Of the party at so important a time. Mr..
Blackburn is supported as warm straight
out friend of the Mississippi river
improvement measure, and it is said
that Mr.. Carlisle, who is men,
Der of the special commissions
sent recently 10 inspect the river, was not
pTepossessed with the committees plan
Of Improvements. On his part Mr.. Ran
dali meditates no less than the over
whelming of both his opponents with
the food of Odium he seems to think must
flow out ofan investigation of the Missis-
sippi river appropriation, and to this end
drafts a resolution asking the Presi-
dent for a statement of the entire amount
appropriated for rivers and harbOrs since
the organization Of the government, with
a full explanation as to the particular ap-
plication of all amounts so appropriated.
The resolution cOntemplates thorough and
accurate information in minute detail,
which may signify great deal. Such in
formation, of course, would have to place
all the funds in the latest river and harbor
bills, and possibly, it is surmised, spoil
/ several nice little jobs.
To this may be added another version
f by half independent Republicans-that
/ Messrs. Hammond, Blackburn and Ran
I dali have combined against Mr.. Carlisle
i 10 elect Mr.. Blackburn, Mr.. Randall TO
+ have the Craftsmanship of the Appropria-
tions Committee, where he may have an
/ opportunity to make such record on re-
trenchment and reform as to attract
Presidential lightning. Of course all this
is Republican speculation, a sort OF
I whistling to keep up their courage. n
Democratic quarrel in the camp would dc
them the most good in the world, but they
won't be gratifed. When matters are
cleared up it will be found that there has
not been the least jar or misunderstanding
among those eminent Democrats. What
ever the press may surmise, infer OF
prOphesy, the Democrats are going tC
march straight forward tremendously in
the line Of their recent great victory.
Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1882-12-15


If the Democratic leaders have read the
terms of the popular verdict rendered on
the 9Th of November Alright, they have
learned that the people have declared for
reform in all departments of government.
That the Democracy will accept the re-
spOnsibility and endeayOr to comply with
the requirements of the people to the best
of their ability in the Lower House of the
next Congress, we are quite confident; but
there are duties quite as responsible rest
ing upon the minority in the present Con-
gress.
The Republicans have been quite so
bered by the rebuke administered to them
at the polls. But their habits of eXtraya-
gance and recklessness are Of such long
standing that their efforts at improvement
do not promise to be at all extraordinary.
The least corrupt of their leaders will en-
deavor to do considerable towards reha-
bilitating their party in public estimation,
hut the rank and file will look on such
tactics pretty much as a practical appli-
cation of the injunction of the Salvation
Army as conveyed in the striking cOuplet:
IF YOU can't get in at the golden gate,
Get over theTarden WALL.
In fact, the reforms essayed by the Radi-
cal majority at the present session cannot
but he partial in character and cOmpul-
~orv in origin. The first measure of re-
form thus far dircussed is the PendletOn
hill, drafted By Democrat and accorded
an. at best, unwilling support by the Re
publicans Of the Senate. In the cOun-
tenance accorded this bill by the Demo-
Gratis of that body, the minority in the
present Congress have an example that
il would be we'll to keep in mind.
Every measure purpOrting to aim ut
reform introduced at the present session
should be carefully analysed by the Demo-
Gratis of both Houses, amended and I'M
proved, if the support of sufficient num-
Ter of the majority can be obtained, and
then passed, if its provisions are such that
IFS enforcement will attain the end sought.
The Democratic leaders should be watch
full. wary and wise. The first view Of
every measure should be its bearing upon
the interests Of the people, then its influ-
ence upon parties.
Ii will be found that the interests of the
country ana those OF the hepuDllcan party
are not intimately connected, if the fact
was not demonstrated by the results of the
late elections. ANY measure that pur-
PORTS to benefit the people while actually
consulting the interests of the Re
publican party should be persistently
fought, thoroughly exposed and, if posi-
ble. defeated. Public Office of whatever
character is a trust. The position of
senator OF a Congressman is not an
exception. 1t was for abusing their trusts
that 50 many of our statesmen were re-
iected.
Ii the Republicans offer fruits Ostensi-
bly meet for repentance, they should not
be forthwith rejected, but every specimen
should be thoroughly scrutinized ere it is
accepted. The Democrats should remem-
her that if it were possible for all the re-
forms demanded TO be achieved by the
present Congress there would be abundant
occupation for its successor in seeing that
the public interests suffered no detriment
by laches on its part.

During his rambles this season our Mr..
NJ. has taken upon himself the task of
satisfying our numerous readers that
whatever goods are manufactured in our
goOdly city of Roger Williams, are of as
high grade, and as fine in quality as can
be produced in any spot on the globe.
Especially is this so when the skilled
pharmacist of many years experience re-
solves to extract from the finest botanical
specimens of the vegetable world the most
potent cure for some special disease. In
proof of his assertion that Providence af-
fOrds the best, he relates an interview
with an acquaintance, given him while
sOjourning temporarily at her residence.
She says: "AbOut year l suffered Sc
verely from rheumatism in my limbs
and neuralgia in the head, which | en-
dured two or three months, with as much
patience as possible, being under the
treatment of an excellent doctor, and try
ing many kinds of medicine without any
marked benefit. At last a medical friend
advised me to try Hunts Remedy, be-
cause he attributed my severe suffering to
the bad condition of my kidneys, which
were not performing their proper func-
tiOns, and | commenced taking it, and in
a few days the neuralgia had departed,
my headache mad entirely disappeared,
the swelling in my limbs and joints had
gone, and l have not had a touch of it
since. More recently was troubled with
impurity of the blood, which showed itself
in severe eruptiOns on my face. l again
resorted to Hunts Remedy, and after
taking it a short time was completely
cured of that complaint. Hunts Remedy
has proved very beneficial to me in at
tacks of sick headache, which it always
alleviates, and l notice the improvement
as soon as / take the Remedy. This Rene
dy has strengthening elements, for it has
made me feel much stronger, and has been
very beneficial to my general health.

Missionary Work at Home.


No good Republican can have failed to
notice and to deplore, with natural and
necessary tears, the mob violence at Ope-
lika in Alabama, and to improve the oc-
casion by enlarging upon the barbarous
and brutal spirit of Southern society.
Their eyes being filled with tears and
darkened by the absorbent handkerchief,
they have missed, of course, the simulta-
neOus announcement of the Sunday enter
tainment at Lee, Massachusetts, where
the Rev. Chas. AckwOrth, going to preach
in the African Methodist Church, was
barred out, and when he tried to climb in
at the window according to Scripture,
was fired upon by Trustee Freeman and
others. Mr.. Ackworth smashed the Win
dow and then the door, in the service of
his Maker. but was knocked down in the
lively discussion, which was chiefly car
ried on by means of the cheerful and
Christian revolver.

The French dialect spoken by the Gre
oles of Louisiana sprang up almost en-
tirely by ear. nliterate whites and Afri-
cans, according to the Journal Of Phi!OlO-
on, catching the voluble utterances of
the educated people around them, have
altered, in their own way, the sense OF
the words, producing lingo that resem-
bles French as curiously as the extreme
negro dialect resembles English. Creole
children of wealthy parents are placed in
charge Of negro nurses, and thus learn the
patois before they acquire the French.
A Portland military company was about
to visit Hartford. The Boston and Maine
Railroad agent offered to carry them at
half the regular rate. The Eastern Rail
road invited them to ride for nothing, and
the other promptly agreed to pay them %
per cent. of the ordinary fare if they would
ride with him. The latter terms were ac-
cepted. At the last moment dispatch
was received from the Boston and Maine
President repudiating the bargain. The
company, therefore, made the trip over
the Eastern on full fare, and will sue the
Boston and Maine for breach of contract.

A Two-Handed Game.
CAicaao Erenina Journal.

If Germany and France shall continue
to discriminate against American pork, it
will be well for Congress to adopt some
stringent retaliatory measures. Our hogs
are as healthy as theirs, and the claim
that they are not is untrue, and cannot be
maintained. The amount of pork that is
annually consumed in this country is
simply enormous, and our people are as
healthy as those of other countries. If
those two nations should pass prOhibitOry
laws, like the one now pending in the
German Bundesrath, let Congress impose
a duty upon German and French wines
that will be high enough to amount to
practical prohibition of the importation of
those articles, The most of them are
bogus anyhow, and are far more injurious
to the health of the consumer than the
pork sent out from this country.

Give Us Free Ships.
~. " n

There is one thing and only one that the
committee can do to help on shipping
revival, and that is to recommend the re-
peal of all laws which forbid Americans
to buy ships upon the same terms as the
Europeans with whom they must com
pete. Anything less than this is trifling
with the subject. 1t is like bailing out a
leaking vessel with tin dipper while the
water is pouring into her hold by the hum
bred gallons. Why not make the expert
ment of free ships? At least it can do no
harm. Vessels used in the coasting trade
may be excepted, and the American build
ers of ships for that traffic will not be af-
fected. If we get iron steamships for the
foreign trade as the result of the expert
ment, these builders will not be hurt, be-
cause they are building no such ships

Those eminent civil service refOrmers,
Carl Schurz, Horace White and Z. L.
Godkin, prOprietOrs of the New York
Ereninq Post, in the editorial columns of
that journal question the sagacity of Sena-
tor Brown in declaring his opposition to
legislation that would have the effect of
keeping in Office the present beneficiaries
Of the Federal patronage, irrespective of
the decision of the people in 1884. We are
inclined to think that the Senator will re-
gard the sOlicitude displayed in his behalf
by these astute journalists as some
what gratuitous. Mr.. Schurz's zeal
for civil service reform is quite too recent
10 beget faith in its sincerity, aud his
colleagues are too far in advance of the
thought Of the times to gain hearing
from the mass Ofplodding folk. The Demo-
cratic party has taken pretty good care of
itself. all things considered, and, if it
needs counsel, will seek it at the hands Of
others than the pseudO-apOstles of reform.
Senator Brown and his colleagues are
prepared to discipline Mr.. Hubbelps late
victims as thoroughly as possible, but they
are not quite ready to guarantee them
permanent employment. The people
have a voice in this matter, and from
present indications their deliverances will
be quite plain spoken.

No Need to Wait.

The President uttered good words in his
message on civil service reform, but he
will be judged by his acts. There is no
denying that he has made a good many
appointments for purely political pur-
poses, and that he has interfered with that
stability of tenure which he has said is
desirable. The President need not wait
for the passage of a civil service reform
bill to show the spirit of reform.

1t is the plain duty Of the minority in
Congress to meet the majority half way in
any honest effort to reform the tariff.
During the last session the Democrats did
the country good service by preventing
the passage of sham tax reduction bill.
The people have Endorsed the minority and
condemned the majority. But the popu-
