The revival of the old cry that the
Democratic party is splitting into
fragments win carry no very serious
alarm to the country. The people
have heard it before, and no disas-
trous crash succeeded it. That there
is very general discussion among
Democrats upon tariff questions is
undeniable, but that there is any dan
ger of the party dividing on the issue
is the very grossest of all absurdities.
We all know that the present tariff
must stand for the next three years,
at any rate. Before any reforms can
be made in it there must be Demo
cratic majority in both branches of
Congress and a Democratic Presi-
dent. Meanwhile all that the Demo-
Gratis can do is to keep up the agita-
ton of the question and formulate
some definite policy to be pursued
when they come into power. From
a Democratic standpoint the abstract
question of the tariff is already set
tied. The conventions and platforms
of che party have done that. It re-
mains only to devise the methods by
which Shis policy is to be carried into
effect; and as there is such an indef-
mite space of time in which to do
this, the fear that the party win go
to pieces while discussing a policy
that cannot be entered upon for sew
eral years to come seems trife pre-
mature. Democrats can afford to
differ upon abstract theories. Uni
formity of opinion has never yet been
reached in any party. 1t is hardly
possible that the present year win
witness such spectacle, or that the
party will go to destruction because it
is not attainable.
The abolition, however, of the inter
nal revenue system, which is likely to
come before the 48th Congress under
the Democratic auspices, will proba-
bly, open a much wider field for Re
publican disaster than the tariff has
in store for us. IF we are to Judge by
the dissentions which already prevail
among the party of great moral ideas
on that subject, its serious agitation
will bring to rapid and disastrous cul-
mination such brood of evils as has
never been known in the history of
the party. The tariff may have many
menacing dangers for the Democrats.
We have never heard of them but
they may exist. But be that as it
will, the Internal Revenue is raw
head and bloody bones, that is always
stalking like dissatisfied ghost into
Republican councils, and threatening,
by curtailing its army of paid officials,
to play the deuce with the party or
ganizations and the hopes of the
Presidential candidates who rely upon
manipulating State Conventions and
intrigue for success. It will be a cold
day for the Republican party when
the Internal Revenue ofieils dis
band, to meet no more to devise po-
litical jugglery and sin.

A few years ago, when Mr.. James
Terrentine of Houston was in life and
residing in that county, he cut a large
oak down and split it open, and found in
the center Of the tree an ordinary frog,
alive and apparently healthy. There
was no entrance or aperature in the trunk
by which the frog could have entered,
but was perfectly sound and solid, and
Just space enough for the little animal to
occupy. How the frog got there and
lived is mystery. The tree was quite
large, and this animal must have lived at
least twenty or thifty years without even
breath Of air.-[Savannah News.
Miss Charles Worth, the officer in the
Salvation Army who was expelled from
Geneva, says she had "great fun" be-
fore she left. She ''went down on her
knees and prayed out loud" in the magis.

eye on the inspector" and thus managed
to keep ''these cross inspectors from their

reporter on the street last evening, 81 see
there Is some little difficulty about Ohio

Looks as though the B. & o. was going to run

The reporter replying that that was tbs
view taken by some OF the members OF the
present Board, Mr.. Hoffman continued :
"Now. II you remember, It the meeting Of
the Board at which the voteion the $4,000
subscription TO the road was authorzeu, Col.
Bob White and Mr.. W. r. Peterson represented
the road before the Board. At that meeting
asked them how they were to get through
the Narrowa, One said, Wen tunnel, and Tho
other said .oA; we'll Irestle.' When asked
thom what they wou' d do prov ded 1t should
be found that the B. & o. owntd TO the

nothing for the B. 4 O., and would 20

To DO Laid Under the River for lhe Teie-
phone Lines.

Several weeks ago the ISTELLIoEScER
spoke OF project TO do away with the
numerous telephone wires over the two
bridges Of the Wheeling & Belmont Bridge
Company by laying a cable across the
river. This plan has been adopted, and
preparations are now under way to lay
cable from the city across the east river to
the Island. It will BIZ sufficiently large to
accommodate all tho wires now used or
likely 10 be necessary in the immediate
future, and will emerge from tue river on
the Island at a point Just below the
Suspension bridge. The present poles on
Virginia street will carry the wires across
the Island. and an elevated frame will be
constructed on each side Of the Back river,
and the wires stretched from one to the
other, one span reaching the width Of the
river. There being no navigation to be
iuteriered with on the Back river, this plan
is feasible there, though it would not be
across the East channel. The cable laying
will commence as soon as stage Of water
favorable for the work occurs.
