The Nashville american utters a
word of warning to the gentlemen
who are pushing the "tariff for reve-

A fire, which consumed the lower
portion of Crisfield, originated in a
tenement house owned by John Sterl-
ing, about half past one o'clock Sat-
urday morning, and in a short time,
before much aid could be render
ed, the flames extended to. several
adjoining tenement houses on the
northern side of Goodsell's alley.
The sleeping inmates of the dwellings
were quickly alarmed and promptly
removed to places of safety, but their
household goods were pretty much
all consumed. The total loss is per-
haps not less than 100000.

At the banquet of the Iroquois Club
the most strenuous efforts were make
bvthe bell whethers of the Democracy
to maintain "the policy of silence"
upon the subject of the tariff. Mr..
Bayard's speech straddled the subject
very neatly, and consisted of those
generaIities and platitudes that mean
everything or nothing. 1t was so
with the other speeches that came
earlv in the evening. But after the
congenial Democratic fluids had been
absorbed in sufficient quantities, the
vexatious subject came to the front
in fierce style. Hot disputes arose,
and showed that the tariff issue can
not be kept down. There are some
Democratic papers that are preaching
that to open the tariff question will
destroy the party. There are others
that, with equal sincerity, believe
that not to open the tariff question
Will destroy the party. Whatever is
done or not done with this question.
therefore, will, in the opinion of a
large number Of Democrats, disrupt
the party. 1t is reported that Mr..
Randall is "working like beaver"
or carrying on still hunt" for the
speakership. But Mr.. Carlisle is the
representative of the tariff for reve-
nue. idea, and he will get the suppoY
of many of the Western and some Of
the New England Democrats. Events
will force the Democracy to take a
decided stand on this subject and
any decided stand will split the par

The Macon, Ga, Telegram says
that if the Democracy declares for
free trade during the next National
campaign, it will lose the State of
Georgia; that no party can carry
that State under a free trade platform.
This is saying a good deal, when 1t is
considered that Georgia is one of the
strongest Democratic States in the
South. the majority ranging from fif-
ty to sixty thousand. The Democ-
racy has some delicate questions on
which to define its positions in 1884.

out into the street and picked up

If the farmers of the country who
own worthless dogs-curs without
any breeding-could be induced to
destroy them and substitute one WELL

Governor Butler has writtn a let
ter to the indianapolis Globe, an anti
monopoly paper, in which he gives
his reasons for believing thst he can
not be elected President. He writes !:
"For thirty years both political par
ties have looked for eircandidates
to four pivotal States-NeW York,
Illinois, Pennsylvania AMI Ohio. And
it has been utterly useless for any
man in any other State to expect a
nomination, however much he might
strive for it." AS an illustration, he
points to the fact that both Messrs.
Blaine and Hendricks hoped that the
positions of their respective states,
combined with the fact of the early
election held in each, would exert
great influence in their favor. Not
withstanding all these favorable au-
spices, they both failed to secure a
nomination. Butler, in closing, says ;

cannot do it. And further, should
