ing Of this years tariff plank Of the Ohio
Democracta, says, "they demand "a tariff
for revenue limited 10 the necessities OF

ed,' which is only another form Of the
phrase for revenue only" During the
campaign the Democratic stump speakers
In oaio explained-and they were very
particular to explain-that 1t didn't mean
that at all. But that campaign is over, and
the Journal doean't live in Ohio.
In the same article we read that Sin no
way can production be so much encour-
ageaas bYa reduction oil duties on raw
materials and on machinery. 1t is by re-
ductions Of this character the Democrats
propose to reduce the tariff to revenue
basis, and at the same time encour age
the productive energies Of our people"
Yet it is urged by Mr.. Watterson's school
thata protective tariff has already ZEN
coursged" to excess "the productive en-.
ergies Of our people," resulting in over
production, depression, suspension. This
is one horn Of the dilemma. The other is
that there is overproduction, depression,
suspension in free trade England. 1t Is
very hard to put consistency into argu-
ments directed against that wise policy
which looks tirst to home interests.

AcHILn,s TWO norHERs.
solomon slis ON the Bench and the Law
tA Just.

EmE, December 2l.-The story Of Solo
mon and the two mothers was re-enacted
In the Court Of Common Pleas last evening
creating one Of the most affecting scenes
ever witnessed in the county courts. Mrs.
P, @. Buck, an elderly lady Of widely known
humanity and Christian charity, and q
Mips Maggie Mooney, Of Buffalo, were
claimants for the possession Ct sweet
child, a little girl named Stella, four
years old. The child has been res
cued from misery by Mrs. Buck,
she having saken 1t from woman Of this
county to whom the mother Of the child
had flung It when only three months old,
and who now thought she could no longer
care for It. Farmer Buck and his good
wife took the babe home, and 1t crept into
their affections at once. They are wealthy
people, and proposed raising the little waif
as their own, and giving It all the advan-
tages OF education and wealth. Their SYM
pathies were intenser from the fact that
the sweet child was q cripple, her hips
having been permanently injured by fall
while left alone in her former home,
guarded only by dog.
Last week strange young woman ar:
rived at the house and announced herself
as Miss Maggie Mooney, Of Allen street,
Buffalo, and stated that she was the mother
OF the child She demanded its immediate
restoration. The Bucks were almost be-
sides themselves with grief. The woman
departed and obtaineda q writ Of habeas cor
pus, upon which Stella was brought into
court. The pleadings Of Mrs. Buck for the
child were deeply affecting, moving many
TO tears. The child chung TO her, and in
its inisntile way, added her childish prayer
to the imprisoned petition Of the lady.
Judge Galbraitb, in pronouncing 1udg.
ment, said this was momentous period in
the child's life. Her whole future must
hang on his decision. He acknowledged
that the mother Is entitled to possession be-
fore all the world, but the courts Of Penn:
sylvania have ruled that the best welfare OF
the child shall be the criterion. He re:
manded the child back to the custody OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Buck. The hard.featured
woman passed out Of court without 30 much
as Looking at the child. and declared she
would bring suit in Buffalo.

WASHINGTON, D. G., December 2l.-"Are
many applications for pensions being gmade
now by persons who have never received q
pension?" inquired the INTELLIGENCE
correspondent this afternoon Of Commits
sioner Of Pensions Dudley.
"Not very many" he replied, "snd those
that are received are generally without any
credit. Igot letter from q man at Buffalo
to-day that shows the character Of applica-
tons that we generally receive now" con-
tinued The Commissioner. "Thisfellow at
Buffalo says he contracted rheumatism in
the line Of service, and his papers show
that he was enlisted in March and muster
ed out in June, and never left Buffalo at all
during enlistment. Think OF man con-
tracing rheumatism in the line Of duty,
within less than ninety days, and at
homsw }ay5s1,j
81 presume as the work comes down TO a
less number Of new cases II becomes more
complicated" !Jj
"Cenainly. Most all Of the old cases
that were rejected are being, picked out,
where new evidence can be gotten, and are
coming before US. They invoke some
knotty questions OF law. But strange
case came to me from Columbus, Ohio, to-
day. cannot give the mans name. He
wrote to me: Drop my name from tho
pension rolls and set opposite to It, Cured
BY faith in the Lord.'"
"Have you done so?"
ave will. The agent there will report
upon the case"
"Do you often get letters Of that char
acter?"
"Well, not just Of that character, ex.
actly; but we sometimes get letters saying
that the pensioner Is cured, and he does
not want to draw q pension any longer.
We refer the matter TO the State agent, or
special agent: centrally, and the man isre-
lieved." t-, j.
'Do yon have any conscience cases.

pension upiustly, and want to refund to
the government !"

there have been such instances"

oHRAPPosTAoE
Is Going to be Cheaper and Newspaper,
May be Free.

From our Special Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, D. O., December 2l-There
is little doubt that the Communications Of
Postmaster General Gresham in regard to
a still further decrease in letter postage
will be adopted by Congress this winter.
Mr.. Gresham thinks an ounce Of letter
should be carried for two cents. There
will be little objection to amending the
laws 10 meet this suggestion. 1t will be re-
membered that when two.cent letter post
age was proposed its opposers wanted to
make reduction only by increasing the
weight Of a thres,cent letter from hall TO
an ounce. Now that the two'Cent postage
has proven such "a roaring success" as q
PostofIlce Department official puts it, It Is
onlya question Of time when tho weight
will libe doubled.
Newspaper publishers and the readers Of
newspapers will be Interested in knowing
that there are now in Congress no less than
eight or ten bills looking to the repeal Of
postage on this class Of printed matter.
Some OF them look toward the un-
conditional repeal OF the law, go that news
papers may 20 through the mails free.
Others would repeal 1t, CIR reVissthe law so
that 1t would be free st letter-csrrier offices.
Your correspondent has talked to a mum
ber Of Congressman from all sections on
the subject, and it Is probable that this
Congress will repeal the law to pay postage
on newspapers.

publishea special reports from the leading
industrial centers Of Ohio concerning the
condition Of manufacturing interests dur

in the census year eight thousand eetab:

and turning ont products valued
at $2S7 100000. The summary Of the
reports show that the manufacturing in
duslries Of the State are in a much better
condition than was generally supposed.
The majority ran steadily during the year,
and the volume Of business was about up
10 1882, though the profits were less.
Though there is encouragement in some
quarters, the great majority Of manufact-
urers are very hopeful Of the future. The
