The Democralic TIdaI wave.

The New York Sun says that the
Democratic tidal wave which has
started in Ohio, and is running east
ward with great force, calls to mind
the memorable upheayal of 1874, In
that year the tidal wave started in
Ohio and Indiana, both of which
voted in October, and were carried by
the Democrats by majority of more
than 1900. 1t then swept through
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York,
Connecticut and Massachusetts, the
Democrats electing CASTOR for Gov
ernor by 1892 majority. Theaggregate
Democratic majority in the seven
States was III, 900. In the same States
the Democrats elected sixty eight
members of Congress, and the Repub.
licans only forty-seven. Why should
not the tidal wave of this year equal
that of 1912 Its magnitude eight
years ago was largely owing to the
dissatisfaction of Republicans with
their own party. Republican dissat.
isfaction is stronger and more threat
ening now in several of these States
than it was then.

THE case OF Rev. N. NJ. Long, of
the Strangers Church, of Memphis,
has been settled amicably and honora-
bly, to all concerned. The Synod at
Florence decided that the proceedings
before the Memphis Presbytery did
not constitute a trial, and that,
therefore it was not an appealable case
The Presbytery met separately at
Florence and adopted some very con-
ciliatory resolutions, amounting really
to an olive branch, but stating firmly
that if Mr.. Long continued to resist
the authority of the Presbytery it
would become necessary to institute
proceedings whereby he would be
placed upon trial. Thereupon Mr. Long
decided to withdraw from the juris
diction of the Presbytery, il allowed to
do SO, without prejudice or ceusure
This was granted cheertully and court
eously, and he was given a certificate
accordingly. Mr.. Longs name was
dropped from the roll as a member of
the Presbytery. He is no longer
amenable to that body,nor is it respon-
sible for his course. This ends the
matter and all seem we'll satisfied
Mr.. Long is simply an independent
Presbyterian minister. He could join
another Presbytery, or even this one,
now or in one or five years, provided he
could stand satisfactory examination
according to the rules and forms OF
the Presbyterian church. Mr.. Long
stated the facts of the case at some
length last night to very large and
interested congregation, and gave ex.
preston of the kindest feeling toward
those, one in particular, with whom
be had been engaged in a spirited
controversy, and asked the members
OF the church and his friends to con-
slider the matter settled in a fair
Christian spirit. Two ministers who
attended the Synod were present last
night and sat on the platform with
him. The brethren, it seems, have
very properly and wisely settled their
honest differences of opinion by agree
ing to disagree and yet to co operate
better than ever in a common cause
and work. A lawyer facetiously whis-
pered last night, THE bill is dis
missed without prejudice"

thought that the Jeanette was as

the deviations from the recommends

ments and added to her strength. He
believed that he knows who was re-
sponsible for these deviations, but did
not care positively to state. The ques-

preston was given that the d~eviations
we're made at the instance OF Capt.

plant against charges made by the
the Union and Central Pacific roads,

called ''boycotting" contracts, which

The Pacific mail is subsidized by the
railroad companies to prevent its com

vessels out of business the roads
charge much higher rates to merchants
who send heavy freights by sea than
do the merchants who send only by
rail. Special contracts for 81 went a

beneBciaries of them even from selling
to those who did not intend to enter
into special contracts. Mr.. Armstrong
