Randall on the Tariff.

A Washington dispatch says:
Ex-Speakcr Randall has evidently
determined upon his line of action OF
the tariff question. In consultation
with his friends he has declared his
purpose to maintain position of armed
neutrality until the tariff reformers
commit some overt act in their social
ed tariff reform schemes, and then he
will so marshal his forces as so thwart
their purposes. In conversation on
this subject the ex-speaker said 81
stand now upon the same platform
that / stood during the contest for the
Speakership That was contest OF
principle and not of individuals, and l
am more convinced now than ever that
the attitude then presented on the
tariff question is the true one for the
Democratic party to take. We have
seen enough already to show that the
people of the country want the tariff
question to be let alone, and / have
determined, as far as | am concerned,
to do all in my power to that end. /
am sorry that this issue has been forced
upon the party at this time, but those
who made the issue must shoulder the
responsibility. have not inquired as
to the purposes of those who advocate
what they call tariff reform, but l
am told they are preparing measure
with revenue as the sole purpose in
view. | believe while the object of
customs duties, as that of any other
system of taxation, is undoubtedly re-
venue, the rates should be so fixed as to
afford protection to our manufacturers
and the labor of our own people. Be-
cause by overproduction another coun-
try has been forced to fix prices at a
minimum rate at the expense of labor,
] do not believe in applying such a
policy to our own laboring classes. l
am now speaking for myself only, but
i believe that there are many Demo
Gratis who entertain the same opinions.
AT all events l intend to do my duty
towards my constituents, and that, l
believe will prove TO be for the best
interests of the country"

The Issue in 1884-A Southern Opinion

From he Tuscaloosa Gazette.
The leading political journals of the
United States of America are to-day
indicating what each pleases to call
"The issue before the people in 1884"
Among other surprising declarations we
have some Democratic friends who,
looking at the immediate interests of
their own neighborhocds, contend that
protection to home manufacturers is
the great issue. On the other hand,
with somewhat seeming elation over
recent events at Washington, we have
true Democratic friends avering in
stl ong language that tariff for re-
venue only is the greatmatter in hand
to be settled at the polls and fighting
on these two lines is the order of the
day, with good deal of wasted am
munition and very little progress with
the people.
The fact is that the Democratic
party settled in 1874, in the contest
when Mr.. Polk was elected President,
its position on the tariff and If in the
Convention of 1880 its delegates over
stepped the mark of prudence and the
traditions of the party in their declara.
tions, the platform must be corrected to
correspond with the true principles of
the old and tired Democracy.
The Ohio platform of 1883 embodies
those principles and the party will go
into the contest in 1884 on no other.
The Democracy cannot stand on free
trade principles, because this country
is in no condition to accept that theory.
But il will reform the present tariff so
as to yield the greatest revenue need
ed, and at the same time in its adjust
ment will not forget to protect the
great industries of the country. But
the issue for 1884 il not, will not and
cannot be coDfced to so narrow sub
ject as the tariff question.
Is it possible that the people of this
great country can so soon forget that
the party now in power has many
times in fifteen years past, attacked
persistently and at times openly the
very form of government of the United
States Have The people forgotten
how very right Of the States was
trodden under foot in PROSTATE Louis
lana by The mil tary, with Sheridan at
their head, when the country was re-
called to its seuses, and the Admins

Cabinet Changes.

A prominent republican of this state
who has recently visited President Ar
thur, is authority for the statement that
some important changes will soon be
made in the cabinet. He says that
Folger, Secretary of the Treasury, will
resign, and his place will be filed by a
resident of this state, Brewster, At
torney-General, must go also, and his
removal will follow Folger's retirement.
The reason given for these changes is
that Arthur may strengthen his con-
test for the Presidential nomination.
The movement is headed by M. S.
Quay and Chris. Magee, Cameron's
lieutenants, who are anxious to send
delegation from this state favorable
to Arthur
As the early date of the State Con-
vention (April l6) will give great sig
nificance to such a move, the President
shares the anxiety. They assure him
that the purpose can be made success
ful only by the removal of Brewster
and the appointment of a Pennsylva-
man to succeed Folger, and they have
assurances that such changes will be
made at an early date.
If Quay and Magee can contain
themselves in patience until March 4th
1885, the Democratic party will save
them all anxiety concerning these
changes. About that time there will
be total change in the Cabinet

To ascertain how long a man should
live, the learned reason from analogy.
The duration of life with the horse, and
with other animals of the higher spe-
cies, Is proportiouate to the time ex-
pended 10 their growth, NJ. Flourens has
improved on the working out of this
idea suggested by Button. All the
larger animals, he observes, life five
times as long as the time expended by
them in reaching maturity. Thus the
camel grows eight years and lives forty
the horse grows FIVE years and lives
twenty-five, the OK four and lives from
fifteen to twenty, the dog two and
lives ten to twelve, the man twenty
years and lives to 100 or more BY
physical analogy, therefore, the ordi-
nary life of man should be 100 years
at least. DR.. Farrc, of London, in his
address to the Parliamentary Commit
tee on Drunkenness, gave it as his
opinion that "by the last grant of Pro
vidence to man Gen. 6, iii), his life is
l2O years, and that, where disease aris-
ing from other causes does not shorten
it, the reason why so few attain to that
age is to be found in the excessive
stimulation to which the mass of the
community is continually subject"

We ask, what man of sense can con
template the occurrences in our coun-
try for the last fifteen or twenty years
and deny the necessity of reform, and
reform to be made thorough, in our
public affairs If the people want to
preserve their liberties, if they are
capable of maintaining their free
institutions, they must wake up to
the danger and vigorously apply the
remedy.
All minor issues should sink before
the great one of the preservation of
our form Of government and with it
the Constitution and the liberties it
gives to all. The profigacy of cor
rupt and tyrannical party, which has
ruled the country with a rod of iron,
and will destroy the the last hope of
the republic, unless it is driven from
power by the honest exertions of an in.
dignant people.
Let, then, the issue be in 1884, Re
form in the Government-no in one
r. r'spect only, but in every department.
Let corruption and fraud and dishon-
esty be driven from power, and let the
people place the Government in the
hands of those who are not only capa-
BILE of administering it, but will do so
faithfully in the interests of a united
country.

Lamar on the Issue.
CLUB PRoCLAIMING REFORM TO BE
PARAMOUNT.

The letter which Senator Lamar
wrote the Commonwealth Club OF
Philadelphia, regretting his inability to
attend the Carlisle reception, has been
made public. Senator Lamar says
l will be happy to identify myself
with any public manifestation Of honor
to that able statesman and distinguish
ed Democrat, Mr.. Carlisle, who pre-
sides over the present National House
of Representatives. 1t would also af-
ford me sincere pleasure to evince, by
mingling with the members of your as.
sociatlon, MY cordial respect for the
Democrats of Pennsylvania. They
have through long days of trial and
even obloquy made honest battle for
the Constitution and the great princi-
Piles of liberty which that instrument
was designed to secure. They have
withstood the forces of sectional hate
and jealously so long directed against
the oppressed Southern States with a
moral intrepidity that has done much
10 restore the brotherhood of the Anne
rican people. But the work of peace
and national concord has not yet been
fully accomplished. The majority of
the people of the Union, as fully be-
lieve, would gladly return to the wise
and conservative methods of the faith
ers, but they lave not succeeded in
dislodging from the possession of the
National Government the party which
regards large body of our citizens as
proper objects of suspicion, denuncia-
ton, repression and disfranchisement
none the less sweeping because it is not
embodied in the statutes. Measures
are now pending in Congress involving
Federal usurpation more alarming and
assaults upon the autonomy of the
States more fatal than any yet decided
by the Supreme Court to be violative
of the Constitution.
The paramount issue before the
country is still the reform of the Nalio-
nal Government from its sectional u.s.
urpation and corruption. The great
want of the country is peace and admin
istrative reform. All true Democrats,
all patriots, whether of Democratic or
Republican antecedents, who are will.
ing to cooperate, should, whatever
may be their differences on other ques-
tions, unite to elect Democratic Pre-
sident. The union of the Democracy
for the good of the Union is the first
step to a crowning victory that will
inaugurate an administration under
which local self government, free and
harmonious play of economic forces,
the just rights of States and individ-
uals, of labor and capital, will be secur-
ed, and at the same time the American
Republic shall have opened to it car
eer of granduer and benefcenoe tran
scending even the glories of the past

The Pennsylvania Conventions.

A correspondent of the New York
SIN says:
For the first time in many years, the
Democrats of Pennsylvania will hold
their State Convention in advance of
the Republicans. The last time they
adopted this course was in 1862. Then
they declared strongly in favor of a
more vigorous prosecution of the war.
They went before the people on that
issue with an apparent sincerity in their
professions and won, electing the Hon.
Charles r. Buckalew to the Senate
by vote of 81 to &C for Gen. Gamer
on.
In the following year Col. Mcclure
secured an early convention for the
Republicans they presented patric-
tic and popular platform and the Demo
cratic Convention, being held subse-
quently, was substantially compelled
either to repeat that of the Republi-
cans or oppose it. Either course meant
defeat, as Mcclure well knew, and as
the result proved in the reelection of
Gov. Curtin by an overwhelming ma
jority.
Since then the Democrats have in
variably held their State Conventions
after the Republicans held theirs, the
object being to take advantage of any
mistakes made by their opponents.
Twice only in twenty years have the
Democrats of Pennsylvania profited by
Republican blunders-in 1874, when
the latter declared for third term, and
again in 1882
This year the Democrats will hold
their State Convention on April 9 and
the Republicans one week later. In
fixing that early date the Democrats
of Pennsylvania intend to reafiirm the
tariff planks of the platforms of 1882
and 1888, and to protect themselves
against being put at disadvantage by
the possible declarations of other States
in favor of free trade.
What effect will timely declaration
on the tariff question by the Demo
Gratis OF the Keystone State have upon
other States, and upon the Democratic

ever questioned his sex, and his own
avowal that he was man took away
the breath Of the community. Eliza.
beth Rebecca Payne was one of fa-
mily of six daughters was brought up
as woman, and was admitted into
the best society in company with the
other members of the family. He was
always regarded as a somewhat mascu-
line girl, but no one ever suspected he
was a man. He was most graceful
and dashing equestrienne, and always
challenged admiration as he frequent
ly rode into Winchester with his habit
and somewhat long hair trailing in the
wind He was one of the most widely
known ladies in the valley. In addi
ton to good birth and inherited acres
he developed remarkable business
talent for woman when reverses in
the family fortune rendered it neces-
sary Tor some one to put shoulder to
the wheel.
His sisters were distinguished for
their culture and personal charms and
several of them married prominent
gentlemen. Rebecca Payne devoted
herself to the management of farm
and to the supervision of store which
he had established at Rest, where he
also held the appointment of Postmis-
tress. He also dealt in cattle and
horses and became an expert in that
way. All his enterprises prospered
and he has acquired considerable
wealth. Determining to marry he
threw off his dresses and applied for a
license from the court at Winchester,
but the astonished clerk, who like
everybody else, knew him as woman,
declined to issue a license for a woman
to marry woman.
When Payne proved his real sex by
producing the certificate of DR.. p. W.
Mcguire, of Winchester, the license
was still refused on the ground that
Virginia law compels a man to have
given names which show his sex be-
fore he can act as man before the
law. Payne then determined to have
his name changed at the March term
Of the Circuit Court, which will meet
on the first proxmo. The affair is a
nine days wonder in the Shenandoah
and has created more excitement than
any event which has disturbed the 80
cial circles of the State for half cen
tnry. No explanation has been offer
ed as to why he has masqueraded SO
long as woman, Rumor has it that
Payne and his sweetheart went to West
Virginia and were married, but this
lacks confirmation.
