THE PKOFECTI0N THAT DON'T PRO-

The cry for reform in the tariff is reach.
ing a quarter that will not fail to embarrsss
the professionalism is coming from manu-
facturers 1t is coming to light that not
only are the laborer, the tradesman, the pro-
fessionalst and the farmer defrauded by the
tariff, but large number OF manufacturers
also. A meeting was held in New York of
a number of these sufferers on Wednesday
night last, and their statements threw new
light on the wrongs inflicted by the present
tariff. The evil complained of is the high
price certain manufacturers have to pay for
the material they use, that material being
heavily taxed and so made srti6cislly dear.
The branches of manufacture present at the
New York meeting included clothing,
upholstering goods, lasep, embroid-
cry, underwear, hats and caps, and
other similar articles. Their COM
plant wss that they manufacture articles
which are also imported, give them fair play
and they can defy the importers to rival
them. But they are not allowed fair play.
The material they work up, the cloth, and
braid, and laces, and other things used in
their business are put up TO such high prices
that the home maker of cloaks, dolmans,
hats and other goods is beaten by the foreign
maker, who is not oppressed By heavy taxa
ton upon the material he uses. These man.
ufacturers made it evident that the crowd Of
men and women engaged in making articles
OF clothing are taxed in 4 way that detr acts
from their labor and helps foreign labor
the result Of protection that don't protect.
Protection was FIRST got up for Infant indus
tries,D on the pretence that il they were
helped until they could set up their BUSH
meas. and once had them III running order,
then their business would pay and no further
protection be wanted. Now il ia these
stout and aged infants that cry most
Justify and cling most strongly, like child
that has been nursed until he can run and
kick. The manufactures here complaining
are OF recent introduction, real infants.
They who are standing in the way OF the
prosperity Of these industries are aged in
fants, such as the wool-grower, who hiss been
growing his product ever since American
grass fed sheep. He insists on a heavy tax,
which comes upon what is the raw N Material
of the spinner of yarns and the maker of
wooden cloths. The latter, having the dis
advantage Of high taxed material to work
with, must also have duty to protect him.
This is second duty put upon material the
constituents OF which had already paid
duty. Now comes the party who makes the

Sundays Dispatches.

LOUISVILLE, February 1.-The food il
the all.absorbing interest on the river front.
The river Ia now III o'clock rising two
inches per hour, with thirty-siz feet in the
canal and something less on the falls. The
ground floors of all houses on Water street
are inundated, and the occupants have re-
moved to upper stories or gone out entirely.
In the eastern part of the city large sewer
has broken, and wafer ia flowing in rapidly
promising to do much damage to msnufacto-
ries. The shipping port is all under water,
while much OF Portland is in the same con-
dition. No loss OF life hss occurred 30 far,
owing TO waichfulness. Most OF those forced
to move out are poor people living on the
river front, and many OF them were caught
by the unexpected rise last night, when a
decline wss expected. Several distilleries
are under water, aud cattle being fed there
are In danger Of being drowned.
Dispatches from Frankfort say the Ken
lucky river is lhirty-lour feet and rising a
foot each hour. When this reaches the Ohio
river great danger will be the result here,
though those interested are making strong
efforts to prepare for the worst. The Life
Saving Service has been Of inestimsbe ad-
vantage TO the poor people caught by the
food last night and to-day.

PROGRESS OF THE IRISH PROBLEM.

The English fnd the Irish question be.
coming more difficult one every year.
They have pursued their usual policy Of
buying over informers and obtaining the
service of spies, but their success this way
may probably only help ultimately to make
their difficulties greater. When men are
hanged who very mistakenly, but without
regard to their own safety, fortunes or lives,
are put upon the Fcahold by the treachery of
infamous traitors, the peoples feelings, even
when revolving at the crime the men have
committed, will condemn the means by
which their death has been accomplished.
The effect will be to draw men opposed to
the government methods into closer political
cooperation, so as 10 GEEK relief in legisla-
tive action from the violence OF un-
scrupulous and ignorant men on one side
and government associated with odious
spies and treacherous Judases on the other.
By this means the Home-Rule party in the
House of Commons will become more num-
erous and powerful, and at tirse when the
Tory and Liberal parties shall become pretty
balahSSu1 tue AAOLnS-INuic
party will make its own terms, and more
will be get by iudicious parliamentary man
agement than by all the tumults of mobs, or
by the false view OF conspirators as 10 what
is right, or by headlong inconsiderats zeal.
There are some thinking individuals who
are beginning to perceive that the English
system of governing by harsh force is hasten
Jog toward danger from parliamentary action,
a danger from which neither land lave, in
formers, nor brutal hangings can deliver
them. The London PdH Mall Gazette the
other week pointed gu. that here lies
danger 10 English power and destruction
to English policy, it says: "If in
a couple OF years we have a clean
sweep of Liberals and moderate Home
Rulers like Mr.. Shaw, the two Blannerhss-
sets and the rest, we shall at last 6nd our
selves face to face, for the first time, with a
national majority from Ireland. Then, in
deed, Lord Harrington will be able to say
that the government of the 100000 people
who live in Ireland presents problems by
tue side OF which all our other problems sink
together into insignifcance." And 80 free
dom's cause, long bequeathed from sire 10
son, shows signs of achieving victery at last,
not by blood, but by the power of determine
lion and the vigor of patriotism.

Abrupt Ending of a Virginia CourtshIp

LEXINGTON, Va, February 1.-THE viii
lage of Buffalo, in this county, is excited
over the abrupt ending of a courlship, about
which, despite the efforts to hush them up,
the developments have come out. Ma John
Caller, leading young planter on Kerr's
creek, has for some time past been paying
devoted attention to Miss Lagrange McCul-
Tough, the acknowledged belle Of Buffalo.
Three days ago he addressed her, and she
declined his hand. This failure preyed
upon his mind, and he was made desperate
by hearing that Miss Mccullough did not
look unkindly upon one of his rivals. Last
night he visited her and again urged his
suit, and she rejected his hand again,
this time more emphatically, and, Maj
Callers friends assert, harshly. Goaded
almost to madness he drew his re-
yolver, and, aiming at The heart
she would not give him, fired. She fell upon
the floor. The sight brought the lover to
mis- senses, and kneeling over her PROSTATE
body. he cried, 81 have murdered my
darling" The ball, however, had DETECTED,
and going up under the arm did not, it
is believed, produce a wound that is neces-
ssrily fatal. The pistol shot brought the
butler and servants to the Parlor, and upon
Miss McCullough's order they arrested
Mai. Caller. The high standing of the
parties has made the affair the talk OF the
section,
