shall have been placed in nomination.
Already the indications are that the
next campaign will be fought on the
tariff issue. The traditions of the dem
ocratic party are in accord with a tariff
for revenue only. In the last cam
paign the national convention planted
itself squarely on the revenue platform.
Henry WattersOn, the free-trade adj
vocate of the Louisville Courier
journal, was the chairman of the COM
mittee on resolutions, on which com
mittee he had an able assistant and
supporter in David A. Wells of Con-
necticut. The resolutions were report
ed late in the day and were adopted
without discussion. The republicans
used the business and the tariff ques-
tons with such effect that, in order to
save themselves in some of the manu-
featuring and iron centres, the party
press and speakers commenced to
hedge and endeavored to make it ap-
pear that they were the best of pro-
tectionists. Even General Hancock
went back on the platform on which
he stood so far as to say the tariff was
"a local question and not national
one. Such was the vacillating course
pursued in manufacturing states that
the agricultural sections lost all conf
dence in the party's professions of
revenue reform.
There is no doubt that the majority
of the democratic party are in favor of
a revenue tariff, but there is very
respectable minority in favor of a mod
crate protection, and that minority is
greater now than it was before the tar
if question played such an important
part III losing Indiana to the democrats
in 1880. The party has not the cOur-
age of its convictions on any point,
when its members think they are doing
"A losing business. If they were such
consistent and stanch revenue reform
ers as Henry Watterson, they would
fly the revenue flag, trust to the future
to show the correctness OF their views,
even though suffering temporary de
feat, and 90 down, if go down they
must, with their cOlors flying But
the party is not made of such stern
stuff. Their thirst for power and pat
ronage is so strong that they throw
principles to one side and trim their
sails to catch every favoring gale.
Unless all signs fail, the next con
vention will be run by the revenue re-
formers, and reform candidates be
nominated on "A reform platform and,
unless the party has learned wisdom
from their chameleon record in the
past, which is very doubtful, the
campaign of 1884 will be tariff cam
paign, in which case the people of the
country will not be very likely to in
trust their business interests to the
keeping of Il party which has been so
uncertain upon every vital question
for over twenty years.

A bill is before the New York legis-

There is said to have been an enor-

In the class which was graduated

The Jacksonville (Fla) Times Union
says that the season closed on the 18th
inst, when the winter hotels and
boarding houses shut their doors. The
arrivals foot up 44,I67, which is a
larger number than ever before. TWEEN
ty thousand of these visitors, it is es-
timated, went up the river, and about
5000 more tourists in the state did not
stop at Jacksonville. Railroads and

being made to largely increase these
facilities by another season.

Death Of a Turkish Pasha.

In the death of Suleiman Pasha.
Turkey has lost one of her most re-
nOwned soldiers, though since the close
of the war with Russia he has been I'M
der cloud. He was about fifty years
of age. He received his military edu-
cation in European schools, and in
lS6l began service in the Turkish ar
my as lieutenant. Through military
and political services he soon worked
his way up to the rank of a pasha. In
1870 he made a brilliant campaign in
Servia and Montenegro, suppressing
the rebellion in those provinces. Hard
ly had he accomplished this when he
was called into Bulgaria to oppose the
advance of the Russian army. The
Russians had already crossed the Balk-
ans. He forced them back, but instead
of continuing the pursuit as he ought
he turned south and made vain at
tempt to dislOdge the garrison holding
Shipka pass. The double mistake was
fatal to Turkey as well as to SuIeiman's
good fortune. He failed in every I'M
dertaking thereafter, was tried for high
treason and sentenced to imprisonment
for fifteen years.

Our New York Letter.

NEW FORK, April ~.
New York has at last assumed her
summer garb. The avenues and streets
are filled with lovely women attired in
the height of fashion, the invisible bon
net, sO-called, constituting a conspicu-
Gus feature of the toilet. Windows of
cars and Omnibuses are open once more,
and the equity old gentleman growls
once more because the active humani-
ty desires ventilation in the public con-
veyance. COney Island and Long
Branch are setting their houses, or
rather their hotels, in order, and the
painter is abroad in the land. The the
aters are preparing their summer pro-
grammes, and the various troops are
making combinations to visit the coun-
try places of the east and west.
The winter season having closed, the
birds of song have taken wings to more
congenial quarters. Yesterday Mes
danes Nelson and Albani left on
steamer Gallia for Europe, and never
since the Atlantic steam ferry was es-
tablished has there been such a scene
of fuss and feathers and flowers as took
place on the Cunard dock when the
noble vessel was about to sail. The
lavish expenditure of flowers in minia-
ture ships, miniature houses and what
not, the flowing of champagne, while
the great singers were kissing and
hugging their friends, was something
extraordinary. And, oh, the dudes
that were present in full force, waving
a good-bye with their perfumed hand
kerchiefs as the Gallia slowly steamed
out, that made every one feel sorry
that these chaps must hit upon some
device how to spend their leisure even
ings now that the opera is at an end
and Saratoga and Newport are yet at
distance.

clearly traced to Irish Americans. If
Mr.. ParnelPs influence could have
availed to secure a postpOnement of
the meeting it would have been well,
because then there would have been
time for calmer Judgment, and the Irish
leaders who are now carried away by
wild and passionate impulses might
come to their senses. Meeting at the
time when it does, and lacking the
leadership of Mr.. Parnell, there is
grave reason to fear that the conven-
ton will he ruled by the violent end of
the party and will be led to declara-
lions and the adoption of a policy
which will make the judicious grieve.
Any expression of sympathy with the
Phenlx-park assassins, or of approval
of the work of the dynamite conspira-
tors in England-mOre than that, the
failure TO denOunce and deplore such
enterprises in the name of Ireland
will forfeit for the Irish cause the SYM
pathy of right thinking men, and will
make the Irish in America, as a BODY,
responsible for reckless lawlessness
which the world would rather ascribe
to few irresponsible assassins.
This is not question simply of our
laws, of eXtraditiOn, or of international
obligations. 1t is question of ordi-
nary humanity. The men who stabbed
Burke and Cavendish and the men who
imperiled innocent lives in blowing up
English buildings put themselves be-
yond the pale of humanity; and men
who express sympathy with them or
approval of their acts are as much sub
jects for execration as the criminals
themselves. Irish Americans cannot
afford to forfeit American sympathy by
such mad course, and we hope that
the violent speeches and resolutions
which have accompanied the selection
of many of the delegates to the Phila-
delphia convention do not foreshadow
the policy of the convention itself

1t furnishes people with such an excel

Dor, expense and engineering skill ac-
complished by the completion of this
bridge, thirteen years in construction,
costing eight millions of dollars. The
total length of the bridge is 1899 feet,
its height in the center l26 feet,
total height of the tower PIT feet, and
the width of the bridge is 55 feet, hav-
ing four cables. each having diane
ter of fifteen and ree-fourth inches.
The entire structure in the window is
built of small spoOls and sticks of col
ored silk and twist of bright colors har-
monlOusly arranged. The floor which
is spanned by this structure is covered
with large skeins of green silk shaded
out to white, taking the form of crest
