now permitting him to use the $5O,900,-

mutilated currency and liquidation fund
to anticipate stringency next fall when
the crops are to be moved, and so prevent
a money stringency and rise of interest in
the market. There will be no congress

There will merely be an extra session of
the senate, but not of the house.
- PRoBAB1EgExrRA SESSION.
There is strong possibility that, should
congress fail to act on the tariff, the presi-
at an early day. 1t is entirely
within bounds to say that this is precisely
what certain leading Republicans wished
to accomplish, although, neither the Re-
publican leaders nor the rank and file of
the partyare united, nevertheless the prepon-
derance of numbers and influence is large
ly in favor of taking at once distinct ground
in favor of protective tariff out and out
The old Clay doctrine of protection for the
sake of protection is often referred to of

corporate into its creed. The idea is that
with such an idea distinctly drawn
several Southern states can be taken away
from the Democracy. Although President
Arthur has not been credited with sympa-
thizing with the leaders of his party, who
are doing their best to cause the tariff bill
to fail at the present session so that there
may be an extra one. He is understood to
favor committing the party early and dis
tinctly in favor of protective tariff. To
do this in the most effective manner is the
concern of the leaders who still
hold to the idea of making an
other trial with the old used-up machine.
1t would appear that the Republican man
ayers design to make the tariff question
or, as they call it, the protection of Ameri-
lean labor-the greatest issue of
THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN 1884.
The resolutions of the Republican
national committee, adopted at their re-
cent meeting in Washington, clearly pro-
claim that this is their intention, and
the course of the party in congress, in their
resolute manouvers to maintain the tariff
as it is, or even to strengthen it in some of
its most Objectionable particulars, only
adds confirmation to this. view of
the subject. On the other hand, good
many Democrats evince similar DISPOSE

for free trade, but they hold it to be the
true doctrine; and, like the old abolition
lists they are willing to contend for the
truth, leaving the final victory to be record

ties, and if in the election the questions of
administrative reform, of honest and econ

and of the restoration of the civil service

place to the controversy between free trade
and protection, we can only say that this
election will be one Of the most interesting

the payment of the debt, and for the enor-
nous pension list which the demagogues
of congress have saddled upon the coun-
try, free trade is outside of possibility, and
protection is a matter of inevitable ne
cessity.
THE PASSION PLAY.
The New York fire department required
Salmi Morse to construct in Passion hall
brick wall two feet thick, and extending
four feet above the roof for the
proscenium arch. A girder of the
required size to support the
arch arrived from Pittsburg
yesterday. It is sixty-four feet long
weighs eight tons, and will span stage
opening of thirty-nin feet. The re-
hearsals for the Passion play are now as far
complete as is possible without the full
accessories of stage setting, music and
costumes, and the present intent is to
give the first public performance on Mon
day evening, Feb. 8. Most of the scenery
is finished. The front of the gallery, the
wainscotting and trimmings are all in
ebony and gold, producing sombre effect
From the front of the gallery
spring out seven branched candlesticks
In the ceiling is a large central frame,
filled with large panes of tinted glass,
above which an electric light will burn,and
the colors thus produced will be the only
relief to the prevailing severity of hue.
On the main floor there Will be 633 seats,
and in the gallery 504. There will be 734
persons on or about the stage nightly be-
fore the public and in the operation of the
scenes. Mr.. Morse says that he has been
too busy in getting ready for the produc
ton of the play to hurry to decision the
question about license for the hall.
ARCHBISHOP HUGHES,
the chief aggressive genius of American
Catholicism, is to be buried under the new
cathedral, and taken from st. Patrick's
vault. This old point is thus described:
