Kansas City Times:-s'The demo-
Gratis Of Minnesota are squarely in line
on the question of tariff revision. The
is the leading question in the great west.
1t is omitted from no platform, and
everywhere the democrats are unani-
nous. 1t is the republicans who are
divided. For months the protectionist
press predicted that there would bs d.
visions in the democratic ranks OF this
question, but the fact il the divisions
are all the other way"

TIE soUTHERN EXPOSITION.

Maj. E. Burke, manager Of the New
Orleans Times-D Democrat, was appoint
cd and confirmed Aug. z, as director
general of the Worlds Industrial and
Cotton Centennial Exposition, which
will open in New Orleans in December,
1884. Maj. Burke had twice declined
the appointment, although rendered a
salary Of 10000. He, however, finally
deferred to the wishes of the public, but
upon his suggestion the salary was re-
duced to $4,000 . year. In accepting
the appointment hs subscribed the
amount Of his salary to the stock of the
exposition and gave the stock to the
agricultural and mechanical college Of
Louisiana. Evidently Maj. Burke has
never he'd q federal Office, and is work
ing for the good of the cause.

The third annual meeting Of the OK
confederate association of Missouri
will take place at Jefferson City on
Tuesday and Wednesday, August %
and 20. AL x-confederate soldiers
and sailors resident in Missouri, are
entitled to membership, and should
attend, as in addition to tho social re-
union of old friends and comrades,
there are several questions of interest
and moment to be considered. Chic
amsng these is the improvement Of tn,
confederate cemetery at Springfield
and its proper endowment. Ever,
effort has been made to render thi
meeting n of the most pleasant tina
the society has yet had. The goot
people of Jefferson City will do all IL

reduced rates. The railroads will car

of Virginia, will deliver the Grafton Q

line st. Louis hepuDllcan some
weeks ago printed q short interview
with Gen. Jno. 8. Marmaduke in which
the general was made to say that he
was opposed to the enforcement of the
Sunday law. The Intelligencer was SO
confident that Gen, Marmaduke had
said nothing of the kind that it refrain
ed from printing the interview or from
the adverse criticism that such a dec
laration would merit, satisfied that in
good time Gen. Marmaduke would
make it clear that he held no such SEN
timents. We were particularly con-
vinced of this from the very emphatic
manner in which he declared in his let
ter to DIR. Brooks that he would, If
governor, use all his endeavors to en-
force even a prohibition law were it on
the statute books, though he did not
personally believe in prohibition. The
Republican, in its issue of August 6,
saws editorially:-"The frequent refer
ence by exchanges and correspondents
to q publication in the local department
of the Republican on July IA, of what
purported to be the views of Gen. John
8. Marmaduke on the subject of the
enforcement of the Sunday laws, makes
it proper to say a word with respect to
that matter. In gathering the opinions
of numerous citizens the reporter OF
the Republican, as we have since learn
ed, mistook the utterances of a gentle
man in the presence of Gen. Marmaduke
for those of Gen. M. himself. As q
matter of fact he expressed no opinion
on the subject. Gen. Marmaduke's
avowed candidacy for a gubernatorial
nomination makes this explanation Of
an error q matter of strict justice
Whatever opinions he may choose to
express he will, no doubt, lay before
the people in his way and in his OWL
language. His letter to Rev. DR.. Brooks
is q clear and unequivocal exposition
of hia viowa nm thia whole nnesfionU

There is not a clearer-headed public
man in Missouri than Hon. A. H.
Buckner, representative in congress
from the seventh Missouri district.
Judge Buckner is a personal friend OF
Mr.. Randall. He voted for him when
he was elected speaker. The Judge
was about the only Missourian, too,
that was remembered when it came to
the appointment of committees. Judge
Buckner and Mr.. Randall are warm
personal friends. In a conversation
with the writer, at the Laclede hotel In
St. Louis, some weeks ago, Judge
Buckner deplored and deprecated,
Is unfair and uncalled for, the
attacks that were being made upon Mr..
Randalps personal fitness for the
speakership and against his democsa-
cy. These attacks he declared to be
unjust and unwise. Still, Judge Buck
ner will not vote for Mr.. Randall next
time, but will vote for Nj. Carlisle, and
has publicly stated his reasons in an
interview with q Sedalia Democrat
reporter at Jefferson City. Judge
Buckner will not vote for Mr.. Randall,
not that he is not eminently fitted for
the position and q good democrat, but
because he represents a constituency
not in sentiment with the democratic
party, on the tariff question. BE says
that Mr., Randalrs election would be
construed by many as an abandonment
by the party of its most vital issue
the tariff question. He thinks, howev-
er, that shopld Randall be elected he
would make up the committees in def
erence to the wish of the party on the
tariff question, and that in making up
the committee Of ways and means by
him four years ago he really appointed
1t as an anti-protection committee,
although 1t turned out otherwise. At
that time however, the tariff was not
made an issue, and the committee had
but little to do in that connection. The
tariff was not agitated to the extent it
now Is, nor was the party or the coun-
try prepared as now to discuss it.

The Kansas City Times has . level
head on the tariff question. Here Is 1t.
view in q few words:-"The democrat
ic press has become an unit on the
question of tariff reform. The repub-
Hcan press dec AIRED the revision Of last
SESSION a finality. Nothing more was
to be done. All the democratic state
conventions, and several of the repub-
ican state conventions, this summer
have declared for q further revision.
This is wonderful progress in a few
months. So far from being beaten on
the tariff question tho whole country
Is with the democratic party.
The Marine and Mechanical Engin-
eering and Metal Trades Exhibition,
held in London during the first three
weeks of this month, was n Of the
remarkable speciality expositions Of
the year. The exhibitors, numbering
about five hundred, included many OF
the great engineering firms of Great
Britain. Casting, forging, tramway
bridge and girder work, and the various
tools used in the manufacture, were
among the exhibits. In q statement of
the importance Of these industries 1t
vas said that the iron and steel exports
of Great Britain last year amounted III
value to $215, 900 900; beside the vast
home demand for railing and other in
terests and for machinery. All this in
a country which has free trade. and
where, according to the reports of on,
own consuls, the wages ofthe employees
possess a greater purchasing power
than do the wages paid here.
A statistical statement recentlyissuei
by the treasury department at Wash
ington shows that the exports Of mer'
chandise during the present year will
probably exceed those of last year b!
from $50, 900 900 to $76, 0O0, 900. Las
year their value was $3.50, 0oO, 900. Thi
year, Judging from the work of tn
nine months for which we have figures
the total will be from $50, 0O0, 600 t.
$500, 100000. The total exports for tn
nine months ending March 81, wer
s650, 0oO,0 900, against about $3.50 GOO,
600 in the corresponding time of las
year. OF yours the larger part Q
these exports are agricultural products
This particular character of export
has given the country its prosperity
and enabled it to pay enough money i
taxes, if honestly applied, to have pal
the national debt. But q very lare
proportion of our exports is in manu-
features, which r sent abroad t
compete in their home markets againl
manufactures with which the republi
can policy avows we are unable I
compete With on our Own ground

+" Gunpowder Plot. y

Word comes to us of an attempt on
the part of some youths to blow up a
score or mere of school children in one
of the rural districts. The road hands
had been using giant powder, near the
school house, to clear the public road
of distractions and left quantity of
powder in can on the works.
Some three or four boys belsngi ng
to the school, perhaps more thoughtless
than wicked, succeeded in putting a
blast in the read where large num-
Der of the little children had to pass in
going to their home, and when school
was dismissed in the evening rln
ahead Of the other scholars and lighted
their fuse, intending an explosion when
the children should arrive at the point
of DANCE. Luckily for all concerned,
the fuse failed to burn az readily as ex-
pected, when the modern Guy Fawkes,
the leader of the plot, seeing from his
am bush the scholars pass in safety, re-
turned to see what had caused his fail
ure, when the blast exploded, tearing
off piece Of the youths cheek and
nose. The pedagogue IN charge learn
ing of the attempt to injure the little
children, ferreted out the plotters and
administered to the young conspiraters
chastisement, which it is to be hoped
will make them more thoughtful for
the safety of others.
