to Jim Mitchell, of the Boston Giobe, the

Mitchell. 'ts sa;.. zssas,:G5g
"You have hit It precisely; It was by
an accident that he told the truth. Sam
had an old shotgun that had becn !a the
family forty years, and one day he put
two loads In one barrel, and when he
fred the gun burst into o thousand pieces.
When Sam was restored to consciousness,
his head was bapdaged up, and the doc.
tors were exploring him for relics of the
battle. The biggest pieco of that gun
that could be found was about two inches
long, and was: dug out from under bis

American steamships the Government
shall, by liberal payments for mail trans.
portatiou or otherwise, lend Its active
assistance to individual enterprise, and
declares his belief that unless that
course be pursued our foreign carrying
trade must remain as It is to day-almost
exclusively In the hands of foreigners.
One phase Of this subject is now especi-
ally prominent in view of the repeal by
the Act Of June 26, 1884, Of all statutory
provisions arbitrarily compelling, Ameri-
can vessels 10 carry the mails to and
from the United States. As it ~ neces-
sary to mako provision to compensate
the owners of such vessels for performing
that service after April, 1885, Il is hoped
that the whole subject will receive early
consideration and will lead to the enact
ment Of such measures for the revival of
our merchant marine as the wisdom of
Congress may devise.
THE NATIONAL BANKS.
As the 8 per cent. bonds still constitute
the chief basis for tho circulation Of the
national banks. the question how to
avert the contraction of the currency
caused BY their retirement, IL one of con-
stantly increasing Importance. IL seems
70 be- generally conceded That the Law
governing this matter exacts from the
banks excessive security, and that upon
their present bond deposits q larger
circulation than 10 now allowed may be
grated with eafety. I hope that the bill
which passed the Senate at the last
session, permitting the issue of notes
equal TO the face value of tho deposited
bonds, will commend itself to the ap.
proval Of the House Of Representatives.

Defeat Of the Morrison Bill.

Ithas been often said by the RepHblicGa
that the fate of the bill reported by the
Committee on Ways and Means for the
reduction of war taxes, known rs the
Morrison bill, depended on a small mar
gin of votes. That it would be sustained
or defeated by very small majority
has been apparent for several weeks to
every one who gave close attention to
the subject. The final trial of strength
between the protectionists and revenue
reformers came yesterday, and the bill
was defeated on motion made by q
protectionist to strike out the enacting
clause by vote of 156 in the .stfirms-
tive to Isl in the negative. This, it Is
entirely probable, ends all effort on the
part of the Democrats to reduce taxa
ton and the surplus revenues during
the present Congress. There would
seem to be no use in spending further
time after the long and able, but unsuc-
cessful, battle for so reasonable and
conservative q measure rs that which
has Just been killed No doubt theirs
will be feints made to reduce Internal
revenue taxation or remove it entirely
from whisky and tobacco; but these
will be of little consequence. The peo-
pie do not want free whisky and tobac-
CO, and their representatives will hardly
persevere in an effort to do what is so
manifestly against the popular inclins-
ton.
The struggle which has ended has NOT
been without value. 1t has done much
TO educate the people and to inculcsts
wise opinions on the uppermost ques-
ton in American politics. 1t has also
done much to define the position of
parties. The Democrats, though IN
fortunately not solid for revenue TO
form, have shown that the weight and
authority of the party is on that side Of
the question not only in their party
platforms but in the halls of legislation
On the other hand. the Republican par
ty stands for continuation of needless
taxation and the imposition of duties
which bring vast and demoraliziDg
surplus into the Federal Treasury.
Those Democrats who have chosen To
act against their party and to become
the allies of the Republicans are but .
fragment of the organization whose
National triumph thew imperil and
whose opinions on the most vital ques-
ton before the people they do not
share.
There will, of course, be no retreai
or lowering of the flag of the Demoe-
racy. They will 60 into the approach
ing National campaign with the doc
trine of revenue reform inscribed ON
their banners with all the emphasis Of
undated earnestness, and those who
battle with them will have to march
under that sign and with that profess
sion of opinion. This is no time foe
hesitancy. nor will there be wayering
or doubling in the ranks--&. Lsass

The RenuhIican Situation.

The Republican arithmeticians ars
not so successful in figuring out the
relative strength of the several candi-
dates tor the Republican Presidential
nomination. as they have proved in
counting in their candidate after he
was defeated. They differ widely as to
the number of delegates that may be
relied upon to support the two prin-
cipal candidates respectively, Messrs-
Arthur and Blaine. Striking q mean
by sort of allegation alternate it
would appear that Blaine leads with
q vote of nearly $50, while Arthur is .
good second with vote close to 800.
The remaining l60 votes are distributed
among Messrs Edmunds, Logan. Sher-
man, Gresham, Hawley and Fairchild-
The balance of power held by tbs
minor candidates Is not likely to DO
thrown solidly in favor Of either Arthur
or Blaine. 1t Is quite certain that the
former can get but little If any of that
strength unless, indeed, the final
struggle should be between him and
Blaine. In that event nearly all
of the Edmunds, Sherman and
Hawley vote would be cast for
Arthur. The talk of an understand
ing between Blaine and Logan Is re-
newed and If it be true that an agree
ment between these two has been en-
tered into, it is quite likely that Bl.ine
will receive the 5Svotes of Logan which
would bring him so close to . nomina-
ton that his opponent would find is
difficult to defeat him. If the more
sanguine of Blaine's supporters figure
with any degree of accuracy the vote
controlled By Logan will be quite suffi-
Gent TO give the nomination to the
''Plumed Knight" .t.-..i ..4,
Both Arthur and Blaine are shrewd
politicians. They understand most
thoroughly the art of manipulating po-
litical conventions. Greek will meet
Greek at Chicago in the persons OF
these well-matched antagonists and
there viii be tug of war in the Repub-
lican National Convention that will
equal If not surpass in stubbornness and
exciting interest that of the weeks
battle between the 800 and the field in
1880. But may not the shrewdness of
these principal contestants suggest
to them the proprety of spool
ing their issues instead of per-
mllLln0 the Uelu 10 utlllZ6 the
strength of the weaker for the benefit
of one of the minor candidates? Arthur
and Blaine between them control three
fourths of the Convention. There has
been no such bitterness in their rivalry
as to preclude combination which
would be mutually advantageous. True,
it is not likely that President Arthur
would accept Office under Blaine, but
as he is 3 natural-born politician and
too young to retire altogether from
public life, he might be willing to be-
come 1.-THE power behind the throne
greater than the throne itself" AS for
Blaine, it is not doubted for q moment
thai if he finds that his play for the
principal stake is to lose, he would Be
willing to repeat with Arthur or any
other promising candidate the bargain
he made with Garfield. Stranger things
have happened in politics than COM

TOO LATE.

What silences we keep year after year,
With those who are most near 10 us and dear;
We live beside each other day by dsy,
And speak of myriad things, but seldom say
The full, sweet word that lies just in our
reach,
Beneath the commonplace of common speech.
Then out of sight and out of reach they go
These close familiar friends. who loved us so;
And, sitting in the shadow they have left,
Alone, with loneliness. and sore bereft.
We think with vain regret of some fond word.
That once we might have said and they have
heard.
For weak and poor the love that we expressed
Now seems beside the vast. sweet unexpressed,
And slight the deeds we did. to those undone,
And small the service spent, TO treasure won,
And undeserved the praise, for word and deed
That should have overhowed the simple need.
This is the cruel cross of life, to be
Full visioned only when the ministry
OF death has been fulfilled, and in the place
OF some dear presence is but empty space.
What recollected services can then
Give consolation for the might haze been.
