COKE AND cox.
Senator Cokc's diatribe upon Ran
dali aud assertion that 10 signihcd
nothing whether Cox or Carlisle were
madc speaker Is the theme of much
discussion az the hotels II leads TO
the conclusion that the Democratic
party Intends to have clean bill of
health. IA turif'for revenue is nee.
essary evil, - saith Coke, and none the
less an evil because il is, pro fdufD, n
protective tariff. He would not have
tObacco and whisky taxes Obliterated,
because revenue tariff would then
become high protective tnrlll," and
we have protection enough now to en-
rich the few at the cost ol the impov-
erished mnny. With Coke, Cox con-
ours. He is a lifelong advocate
OF tho lowest possible revenue tariff.
The ISSUE Is fairly made and inside

Meanwhile Cox, the bnllirnt rhetori-

AN lSEDRrArE ASYLUM.
Recently Providence hospital, its
sister. of charity and experimenting
surgeons have wrought wonderful
cures of iuGl,riates. A beneficiary of
the institution was telling me tonight
that he had been blind drunk for six
weeks and was TERRIBLY iimlammed.
He saw hydrNs and cobra. capollns

days he was so eflectualiy
cured by the medica;ed whisky nd

hospital that ne has never dreamed of
drinking through the past two year,.
Every monkey-wrenched beneficiary
of this hospital sounds .its praises and
would delve into the insciutably mys-
tories of It's methods. What IL IL tint

nifty from relupse? What N blessing IL

and legislation! 1t should have n
