ISN'T it just a little too much to
ask sensible people to believe the as
sertions of the Lucas followers that
although they had a majority in the
the Keyser Convention they permit
ted the Hoge minority to get away
with them ? If the Lucas men had a
majority in the Convention will
some one inform us how and by
what process the Hoge men got q
majority of from four to five on
every committee, thus securing con-
troll of the Convention Is it posi-
bic that the Lucas majority of "in-
nocents" allowed The Hoge minority
of "sharpers' to pocket them in such
an unheard of manner The admis-
sion would carry withit a confession
that hardly any of the Lucas states
men would care to make. But the
logic is irresistible. \ majority
that permits itself to be run 10y a
minority in a political convention
must be a regular set Of boobys, and
ought not to have gone so far away

President Garaeld's False Hopes.

Mrs. Garfield said to an intimate
friend when she came here from e.
berUn, after the death, that there
was one thing more than any other
which she regretted about the Presi-
dents illness, and that was never
allowing the President to think that
he was in any great danger of death.
Many times, she said, she wanted to
talk to him about matters, that it was
Of the greatest importance that they
shonld talk about, IN case of death,
but the doctors would not allow her
to do SO. Often the President would
speak of dying, but those around him
Immediately stopped him, and would
nrge him not to lose courage Up to
the Lour Of his death the President
was fed with the nope that he would
recover.

A Ten-Ounce Midget offender Age,

tErOm the New 4Ork Sul
 George Fromm's boy was baptized by the Rev. MT. Adams in the Episcopal church, Lawrence street, Manhattanville, at o'clock yesterday afternoon. The boy weighed ten ounces at tue time of his birth, two weeks ago, and has not gained anything to speak of since. A great many neighbors and friends of the family called at the house of Mir. Fromm, S7 Lawrence street, in the course of the day, but only few were pres ent at the christening. The child behaved remarkably well, not only in the chur b, but at his home where each visitor was permit ted to hold him for brief period His prin- cipal exhibition of feeling consisted in gaping, in which he indulged at short intervals, dis playing on each occaseon two exceeding tri- vial teeth, whose existence, the parents say, is to be dated from Thursday last. His robe was white and made short, so as to display his feet, which were the size of large clover leaves, and fringed with very straight, round distinct pink toes On the second and third fingers of his right hand he wore two rings, one of gold and one of gutta percha. These ornaments might slip easily over a knitting needle. but they would have a tight squeeze with a small quill toothpick. His rather thin light brown hair was a good deal rumpled by the impatient turning of his head in the hands of the numerous persons who were permitted to hold him. When he was turned to face the light he drowned perceptibly, notwith- standing that he is destitute of the slightest trace of eyebrows, opened and shut his eyes with astonishing rapldity, and became puck

THE TARIFF CONFESSION

| The tariff commission is disappointing
 one. Of it's nine members William A. Wheeler is the only one generally known.
 The other eight members are John L. Hayes
 of Massachusetts, Henry w. Oliver, jr., of | Pennsylvania, Austin M. Garland of Illinois,
 Jacob Ambler of Ohio, John s. Phelps of Missouri, Robert P Porter of the District of | Columbia, John w. H. Underwood of Geor
 gia, and Duncan L. Kenner of Louisiana.
 MT. Hayes is a graduate of Dartmouth, and l is secretary of the American Wool Growers
 association. MT. Oliver is an extensive iron
 and steel manufacturer of Pittsburgh. Mir 1 Phelps is lawyer, and was several years in Congress before the war. He is a graduate
 of Trinity College. Mir. Porter is young | Englishman who has been in this country
 only twelve years He has been one of the editors of the Chicago Inter Oce1n, did vsiu
 able work on the census of 1880 and is now editor of the International Revieao. Mir. | Garland is large farmer and an able writer | upon agriculture. He has been secretary of l the board of agriculture of Illinois, and in | 1867 had 5000 sheep upon his farm. Mir. | Ambler has been in Congress and in political life. MT. Kenner is wealthy sugar planter. | MT. Underwood was in Congress before the l rebellion and resigned when it broke out
 This commission is strongly representative of protected interests. The wool-grow- CTS are represented by MT. Hayes and Mr.
 Garland, the iron interest by Mir. Oliver, and the sugar interest by Mir. Kenner. MT. Un- derwood, of Georgia, comes from State where public sentiment in favor of protection is growing. Mir. Porter has exhibited de- cided Jennings toward the protectionist doc Urine. And it is not believed that Mir Wheeler, MT. Amber and Mir. Phelps will deal with the matters which are to come be- fore the commission in very broad way
 On the whole, then, not much is to be ex- pected of this commission. As the New York Times says: 'There.is scarcely chance of thorough investigation calculated to furnish the basis for broad and enduring policy There is not even the material from which a strong minority report might be expected There Is no hope even for vigilant and resolute effort to get at more than one side of the subject. The result will be that while the single object of delay may be secured there will not be sufficient confidence in the conclusions which the commission will re- port to stay the demand for Congressional action wholly independent of its work The report will be made next winter when only a short session will remain of the present Con- gress. It may furnish the occasion for more talk, possibly it may afford the material for little tariff bill,' but it will accomplish nothing toward the settlement of the main question"
