Anderson Reeves, who pretended to
have been hit with bag Of sand down on
Causey street night before last, is bad
one. When arrested Yesterday he said:
Il haven't been doing one thing, but
when | get clear Of this will do some
thing sure enough-something you'll all
remember, too" "Well; it will take you
about ten years to get clear of this, am
inclined to think" replied Captain
o Hayer, Of the police force. Reeves is
known in policgcircles as a most villainous
confidence man, and he doubtless thought
to be cared for by some sympathetic friends
after being picked up on Causey street, so
that he might rob the house Some time ago
he broke open trunk, stole watch, and

street pawnbroker, Lowenstein. The theft
was managed by his pretending to be a
sister Of Mrs johnson on upper Front st.,
from whom he had been separated more
than ten years, Under prelense of being
Il brakeman on a railway, hence TO Louis

The Tariff.
Inent.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Represen-
tative Hurd, of Ohio, who is looked
upon as one OF the members that will
constitute the Ways end Means Com
mittee. expresses the opinion that
there will certainly be tariff legisla-
ton during the coming session. He
believes the comfort which the pro-
tectionists sought to CLEAN from the
address of Speaker Carlisle is far
fetched, and does not warrant them
in thinking that the tariff will not be
agitated. That was the issue, he says,
on which the canvass for the Speak
ership was fought, and decided ma
jority of the Democratic side OF the
House favors the proposition. AS
soon as the Committee on Ways and
Means can mature some bill for the
revision of the tariff it will surely be
reported to the Ii ouse, and will he
no doubt promptly considered. The
tariff on wool, which was such dis
turbing element in Ohio politics dur
ing the last campaign, will be agitat-
ed as early as possible in the House.
A number of Representatives on both
sides are preparing bills on the sub
iect, the object of each being to restore
the duty on wool to the figure from
which it was reduced by the last Con-
gress. Under the first call of States
Representative Converse will lead off
in this respect. On the other hand
Mr.. Hurd, of Ohio, is preparing to
fight this effort of his colleagues to re.
store the old tariff, and as soon as he
can mature bill he will introduce
one to place wool upon the free list.
Should this proposition succeed. Mr..
Hurd says that he will endeavor to
have the duty on manufactures OF
wool reduced from 20 to 80 per cent.
With wool upon the free list he con-
tends that the manufacturers can well
afford to stand reduction of duty
upon wooden manufactures.

the arctic regions on mountain peaks
in Europe, and in other similar local
tiles, being recognizable by their pc
culiar chemical composition. 1t is
also known that the solar system
abouhds with swarms of meteors re-
vOlving around the sun, and that the
earth crosses the paths ola number of
these, occasionally encountering the
swarms themselves. The vast ma
jority of these meteOrs are very
small, those that are seen weighing
on an average probably only a few
grains; and since the telescope re.
veals millions which escape the maxi
ed eye, it is reasonable to conclude
that millions more are too small to
be seen even with telescopes
meteOric dust. There are historic in.
stances of supposed falls of meteorlc
dust, the most remarkable. perhaps.
being that of 1888, when Europe, part
of Asia, and part of North America
were covered for months with dry
fog, or haze, which excited the great
est alarm. Prof. Brooks suggestion
that the earth has encountered cloud
of meteoric dust is not, therefore,
without foundation in probability.
If the recent blazing sunsets have
really resulted from such a cause,
they are likely to continue, in mod
flied form, for some time, gradually
disappearing as the dust sinks lower
in the atmosphere. But, although So
many reasons can be advanced which
give probability to the theory thai
meteoric dust is concerned in the pro-
duction ofthese strange sunset effects
yet it cannot be considered as proved
and some better explanation may be
offered. Whatever the true explana.
ton may turn out to be, however
everybody seems to agree in the
opinion that the red glare in the west
during the last three or four weeks
has been one of the most singular
spectacles beheld in the sky for many
years.

been done to his party by the feeling
that his election means the triumph
of Free Trade he has discovered that
the Democrats have thrown OF the
mask too soon, and now he wants 10
put it on again until after the Presi-
dental election. This cunning trick
will not serve. His election means
Free Trade and everybody knows 1t.
Cautious Democrats have already
taken alarm. The Sun does not hesi-
tate to call the choice of Mr.. Carlisle
misfortune, and only hopes that 1t
may be repaired by the prudent ne
havior of Congress. The World is
frantically arguing that Mr.. Carlisle
can do no harm because the Republic
can President and Senate will not let
him, and is begging the victorious
faction not to make disturbance yet,
because free trade is "aE distraction"
and, "under existing circumstances,
an absurdity." Mr.. Cox sprang to
his feet when the result was announc-.
ed, and prayed the majority not to do
anything rash till after the election !;
and he is now sitting on the safety
valve, crying. Remember that eigh.
ty-four depends upon our wisdom
and discretion" Whatever may be
the state of feeling at the South, the
choice for Speaker seems to be re-
ceived by the Democracy of this re-
gion with anything but elation.
The Democracy of this region will
have to do most of the fighting next
year, and its misgivings are well
founded. That the victorious faction
should keep quiet for a whole year,
cover up its designs, and adopt the
policy of the faction it has just defeat
ed in an animated struggle, is in the
last degree unnatural. No set of pol
iticians could afford to place them
selves in such ridiculous position ;
and even if the plan were feasible the
Southern and Western Democrats
who have elected Mr.. Carlisle are the
last men in the world to assent to it.
Those who are asking them to keep
quiet forget that the policy of keep
ing quiet was the very point at issue
in the Speakership struggle. and that
the quiet party were beaten. We may
! look for a disturbance early in the
session. Even if the victors should
curb their Impotence, it would make
no difference in the contest of 1884.
The most that their comrades ask Of
them is to keep still until after the
election. And they may fairly an

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
from our Regular Correspondent

from our Regular Correspondent
NEW YORK, December 7th, 1883.
Although many leading Demo-
cratic journals and politicians refuse
to admit it, the election of Carlisle to
the Speakership places that party on
free trade platform. The Demo.
Gratis have been dishonest enough to
shirk the issue thus far, and while
leaning towards and in fact actively
pushing a demagogic warfare against
the protection of home industries,
have yet refused to acknowledge the
corn. Now however they can no
longer dodge the question. and they
will be driven to 60 before the coun-
try next year with free trade as one
of the principal canons of their plat
form, "and," as leading politician
said to me only yesterday evening,
that will beat them, because the
country is not yet ready for that, and
its Inauguration would throw US all
into helpless state of dissolution"
A curious effect of the election Of
Mr.. Carlisle, was that nearly all the
securities listed on the Stock Ex-
change dropped. In fact for some
time, the bears were masters of the
situation. This is only foretaste of
what is in store should the Demo-
cratic party be able to carry out its
doctrines.
President Arthur's message is rated
everywhere about political resorts as
a capital document. Even that great
detractor of the President, Roscoe
Conkling. is said to have condescend
ed to speak we'll of it. 1t is straight
forward, manly and shows close
study of the needs of the country. In
naval circles his strong words In favor
of making our Navy one in fact, in
stead of merely in name, are very
highly commented on. and it is an
ticipated that the morale of the Navy
will be thereby considerably raised.
"That document" said an ex-COn-
gresham of Minnesota, at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel last evening, is another
rung in the ladder that leads to Mr..
Arthur's denomination"
The local Democratic snarl seems
to increase. Now fight has broken
out among the County Democracy,
several of the lieutenants of Hubert
o. Thompson, the leader, having re-
fused to obey orders. They are to be
disciplined in the orthodox fashion,
and then there will be fun.

Mr.. CarlisIe's Election.

Mr.. Carlisle was nominated as a
tariff reformer. He was supported by
that section Of the Democratic party
which has grown tired of Mr.. Ran
dall's policy of keeping quiet and let
ting industry alone. He was the
choice of the free traders. the "bold
Spirits" the men who refuse to I've
afraid Of their platform and from all
that conservative wing of the party
which is found north of the Potomac
and east of the Alleghanies he re-
ceived in the caucus only one vote.
1t is useless to deny the significance
of his election. 1t means that the
Democracy has passed under the con
troll of the h0t.heads, and that our
"business interest" are not to be con-
suited any further. Yet in his speech
on Monday Mr.. Carlisle declared that
''sudden and radical changes in the
laws and regulations affecting the
commercial interests of the people'
would not be favorably received at
this time. Evidently the new Speak
er sees the need of hedging at once.
He perceives that great damage has
