Mr.. PAYNE, the newly-elected Senator
from Ohio, doesn't in many respects, repre-
sent the DEMOCRACY except in a scattering
sense. AT jackson meeting" in Cleve-
land about year ago he expressed himself on
the tariff question in the following, which is
tolerable good R-publicansm on that particu'
lar subject Of politics: Frequently we hear
a Democratic speaker, timidly, in subdued
voice, as though fearing to compromise him
SELF advocate tariff for revenue with incl
dental protection. Why such indiscretion and
cowardice, in view OF the inexhaustible aud
immeasurable resources ofour country in coal,
iron, copper, wool, cotton and corn, abundant
under the fostering care Of the Government
TO supply the wants of not only present pop
ula,ion Of $4,000, 600, or the 100 ooo, oco
which many of you will live to witness, but
of the goo, ooo, 600 or I,ooo, ooo, 600 which, in
the probable future, the national census will
enumerate, and OF the populations of Mexico
and the Central and the Southern Republics,
whose markets ought long since to have been
opened for our manu- facturers. 1t is difficult
to understand why our statesmen Should yet
hesitate and vacillste in the discharge OF their
duty. A judicious tariff 10 not one for protec-
ton only, nor for revenue only nor again for
revenue with the shsdowed outlines OF an in
cidental tail appended to it, but it is tariff Of
both revenue and protection, one an insep-
erably adjusted and perfected as to dc justice
to the great interests OF the country and ia
| Justice to none.

A IIoUsToS special from Austin gives the
following regarding Republican political
movements in Texas: Colonel A. G. NAL
10y, Collector OF Customs at Galveston, and
Charles M. Campbell, recently appointed
Postofiice Inspector for Texas, have been here
for several days. 1t is stated on good author
ity that their mission here is to tone down
Jack Evans and get him to fall into line with
the Arthur boom in Texas. 1t is said TO be
admitted that Evans cannot receive the APP
pointment of United States District Judge,
and the object now is to get him to fall into
line on the appointment of either Judge Sabin
or Judge William Chambers, Of Chambers
county. Campbell is the leader Of the Re-
publican element OF Mr. Culberson's district,
and it is said his appointment to the position
Of Pos,ofice Inspector was made as the result
Of a bargain with the President, in return for
which Campbell promises Mr.. Arthur the
support of his district in the coming national
contest. 1t is the impression in certain circles
that Evans will train with the administration
and surrender his aspirations for the present"

rumor that the Pope is to allow Catholics Of
England and America to become Free
Masons, says: "Ii the Pope does permit
Irishmen to become Free Masons great

be taken. He ought to understand, however,
that in approving Of Free Masonry he will
put terrible strain upon the loyalty of Irish
women. The Pope has hitherto had no more
devoted followers than the pious women Of
Ireland, but II he authorizes their husbands to
join Masonic lodges 1t is possible that they
will begin to doubt his infalibiliy."

GENERAL RostRr TooaBs, OF Georgia,
says that II he consulted his pride as man
Of affairs and prescience that enabled him
to predict the events of 20 years, he would
rest the fame Of his life upon his speech on
slavery, in Boston, in 1854, rather than any
other single effort; but in the light Of humanity
he would rather stand upon his compromise
speech in the Senate in 1850. There is,
he says, no period Of his life upon which he
looks with greater satisfaction than that in
which he attempted 10 adjust by compromise
the differences that were, 10 years later,
settled by war.

Albert Miles, colored, who murdered his
wife in tit of jealous rage at Deadman's
Bend, on the Mississippi river, some thirty
miles below Natchez, on the Goth of Sep.
tember, 1882, suffered the death penalty
Wednesday. The execution was private
one and took place within the Jail yard aud
was witnessed only by officers Of the law
and members Of the press. He was escorted
from his cell by the officers and two minis
ters. He manifested but little fear and
made short speech in firm voice, re.
iterating his hopes for forgiveness and
salvation. The ministers then prayed with
him and then the rope was placed about
his neck and the trap sprung. His neck
was broken aud he died IN few minutes.
The murdcrous act was committed near
church whittier Miles and his wife had
gone to attend service. They had quar-
relied and Miles was sulen aud i'll natured
and during the service became impatient,
and ordered his wie to leave the church
with him aud return homo. This she re

out was heard by those standing outside at
the door to utter oaths and threats against
his wife. When the service was through
she met him at the door and started home

time fallen to the ground, and was almost
lfeless from stabs in the breast. Others
pursued the murderer and soon captured
him. The woman lived only a short time
and her husband was brought to the
Natchez jail for safe keeping.
After being convicted, Miles, with four
or five other prisoners, managed to get out
of confinement June by tunneling under

FIvE PERSONS KILLED.
a Train on an EnGIish Railway Jumps Eror
BriJgs,

A irightiul accident happened Wednes
day near Permission, Eng on the Man
chester 4 Sheffield railway, by which
twenty. five persons were killed outright
and forty more or less seriously injured.
The details Of the catastrophe as received
at London are very meagre, but it appears
that while an express train was passing
over bridge an axle of tho engine broke
and the whole train jumped tho track and
went crushing over the side OF bridge To
the ground below.
The wreck was complete and tho GoeEo,
q moment after the express dashed down
- its doom, was terrible to witness. There
were great many passengers on board,
and the whole thing happened SO suddenly
that no token of warning could be given of
their approaching fate. The immense
force OF the collision as the train struck
the ground splintered all tho carriages,
while tho engine was reduced to atoms.
The grJans Of the men aud tho shrieks
of the women and children as they were
dashed to death were heartrending 10 the
extreme. Some delay was experienced
before the victims could be extricated from
the wreck, and at this time it is impossi
BILE TO state with accuracy the extent OF
tho catastrophe, which is ono of the most
horrible that has occurred on an English
railway for a long time.

A most remarkable attempt at robbery
was made the other night at the SoledaG
de Santa Cruz church, iu the city Of
Mexico. IL is not unusual in this climate
to bury people at very early hours in the
morning, so the priest did not think II
strange when certain funeral was sot at
4 a, m, and permission was asked to place
the corpse in the church the night before
The heavy coffin was taken in and placed
before the altar and tho place locked up,
During the night tho dogs of the sacristan
made great noise. and on that individual
going into the church he saw man
jumping off an altar, on which stood one
OF the images. He called assistance, but
no trace could be found of the intruder
At last they looked in the coffin, and there
found living thief in place of corpse,
and in HIS possession all the most valuable
jewels cf the church.

but like the Pennsylvania reformers OF
the same persuasion, his reform was
typided by Blaine, and to Blaine's Gag

governor, and then said of him

DREADFUL PLOr DISCOVERED.
How Anarunists Proposed TO Murder Kaiser
MIlhNlm.


Despite the strenuous efforts Of the
German authorities to suppress the facts,
1t is evident that there is very substantial
basis for the belief that n desperate effort
was made to murder the emperor aud
other august persoDages at the inaugu-
ration Of the Germania monument in the
Niederwald last September. Tho first
hint of the conspiracy became public when
the workmou who wcro completing tho
ornamentcd approaches to the monument
this spring found small quantity of
dynamite concealed in drain pipe. The
discovery produced great sensation, and
government commission, consisting of
military officers and engineers, was ap-
pointed to investigate. From time to
time fragmentary reports of their dis
coveries leaked out, notwithstanding
efforts made to keep their proceedings
secret, and 1t became known that they
had found traces of u mine of explosives
directly under the road trayersed by the
emperor, which might have blown the
entire cortege skyward, except for the
fortunate accident that tho mine had
become saturated by heavy rain storm,
which preceded the unvcirg.
The facts have been made public
through confession which the Stuttgardt
Stddts AnseIgcr obtained from one of the
conspirators imprisoned in that city.
The chief prisoners are two Anarchists
named Rumpsch ana Kechler, and the
confession was made by the former. He
admits that there was plot having fol
its object the terroriZiug of all Europe by
tho murder OF the emperor, the crown
prince, Chancellor Bismarck and other
great pcrsonages IN attendance upon tho
ceremony.
