TIE DEMoCRATIC OAucus.

The long anticipated house caucus of the
Democrats has been held and the Republ-
cans are unhappy. They have had great
hopes founded on this caucus and their hopes
have taken the shape of the
widest prophesies as to the results.
They announced that the caucus would be
one which would split the Democratic major
ity of the house in twain. The Morrison bill
would be rejected and irreparable division
would occur, and then as an inference it was
stated that this split would extend throughout
the entire party and would eliminate in the
triumphant election of the Republican presi-
Dental candidate.
Unfortunately none of these hopes have
been realized. There was no split. The
caucus was well attended. The Morrison bill
was not rejected. There was no indignant
withdrawal of Randall Democrats. There
was no collision within the ranks. There
was no demand that the members be bound
by the action of the majority. On the
contrary, everything was as pleasant
as a summer morning. The chances of Lo-
gan, Lincoln, Edmunds, Blaine, Allison or
any other aspirant for the Republican presi-
Dental candidacy were in no single respect
doomed by the result of the Democratic eau
Gus. So far it seems probable that any gen
tleman who aspires to become the Republi-
can candidate will, in the event of
his success have secured it through
the vote of his own party unaided by votes
carried over to him by him by a split which
began in the caucus over the Morrison tariff
bill.
The resolution offered by Carlisle to the
effect that repeal of internal revenue taxes
will be made in case reduction of the
tariff shall be also made has popular
elements, as there is no doubt
that the country will receive with favor all
proposals for the reduction of taxation. The
surplus in the treasury is just SO much money
taken without excuse from the pockets of the
people, and is standing reward for corrupt
practices in connection with national Iegisla-
ton. So long as this surplus is in
sight Washington will be filed with
rascals whose aim will be to steal as much of
this treasure as possible, and through whose
efforts Oilegislation is constantly be-
coming impaired in its integrity.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. CASE.

Ex-Speaker Keifer, in his contest with the
correspondent Boynton has come out of the
little end of the horn. Contemplate as his
career had previously been, he has reaped a
new crop of contempt in this controversy.
He accused Boynton of attempting to bride
him, and called for an investigation. A COM
mittee of the House was appointed to inves-
tigate, and for weeks have been receiving
testimony. Yet the testimony introduced,
does not sustain Keifer's charges. The modes
resorted to by the ex-Speaker to sustain
his charge of bribery will cover him with ig-
nomy. Instead of blackening the reputa-
ton of Boynton, he has succeeded only in
producing that effect upon his own. A
Washington correspondent writes:
Keifer employed man to work up case
against Boynton, paying him $40 per day.
This trusted agent of Keifer's to procure
false testimony is shown to have served a
term ofimprsonment for falsely personating
another party, and to have kept house of
bad repute. Yet he was recommended by
Keller to Acknowledgement Brewster as "a
man well known to me-" and perfectly re-
liablc.' Six of the witnesses called by Keif-
er have either served imprisonments or been
indicted and escaped through technically.
One of them, who was one of gang which
Systematically burglarized the northeastern
part of Ohio, is a gambler, and is known on
the secret service rolls of the Treasury De-
partment as professional passer of counter
fcitmoney. Many Congressman have fool
ishly stated that the Keifer-Boynton affair is
fight between the floor and the press gal
lery. On that score they defend Keifer
The gallery can afford to let it go that way,
but can the House?

THE TILDEN FAMILY.

The recent death of the last surviving
brother of the distinguished statesman, Sam
uel J. Tilden, calls attention to the history
of the family, which, on account of its most
distin guished member will be read with in
terest. Mr.. Henry A. Tilden, died at New
Lebanon, Columbia county, N. Y, March 10,
aged 63 years, being seven years the junior
of his brother, Samuel j. The brothers were
natives of New Lebanon, and descended
from Puritan stock. Nathaniel Tlden, their
ancestor, was a brother of one of the con-
signees of the Mayaower and three years at
ter the landing at Plymouth, came to Ameri-
ca with nine other gentlemen from Kent,
England, in the ship Ann, and founded the
town of Scituate, in Massachusetts. Their
grandfather settled in Columbia county. N.
Y, in 1890. Their father was successful
merchant and farmer, and was noted for
his sound, political sense and sagacity.
Elan Tilden, father of the deceased, Henry
A., had five sons and two daughters, viz,
John, Mary B., Moses z, Samuel j., George
F., Henry A., and Henrietta, (the last
named twins. Mrs. Mary B. Pelton and
Samuel j. Tilden are now the only surviving
members of the family of Elan Tilden.
Henry a. Tilden leaves widow and six
children, four daughters and two sons. The

A Pawnhroker Robbed

About half past seven O'Clock last evening
Mr.. NJ A. Prescott who has a pawnbroker's
shop on upper Third street, near Market
communicated to the police that
his establishment had been robbed
The story as he told it, is,
that about z O'Clock he closed the
doors of his shop and went up
stairs to supper; that when he came down a
short time after he found that some one had
cut a pane of glass out of the front window,
and taken from the show case in the window
thirty silver and six gold watches. On going
over to the place the police found the state
of affairs as Mr.. Prescott had
reported it to be. The chief of police, the
captain and the detectives all went to work
to find the robber. An Italian was arrested
and on his person was found a glass cutter.
Other than this the police had not succeeded
in getting any track of the robber, and this
is very doubtful clue 1t is regarded as very
remarkable that the glass could have been
cut out and all that jewelry taken, especially
at that hour, when hundreds of people are
passing along They seem to think that
some one of the many hundreds going along
there should have seen what was
going on. Still Mr.. Prescott says he was
robbed and there were the evidences of the
robbery, which appeared to leave no doubt
as to the fact that the glass was cut. Mr..
Prescott estimates his loss at $500.

YESTERDAYS MARKETs.

The produce market here was fairly active
with prices a shade lower. At Milwaukee the
market was unsettled and panicky and closed
with wheat 38c lower. AS predicted by the
GLOBE the Chicago market yesterday had another
tumble, which was the most serious that has &C.
Cured for some time back. Wheat opened
lower, futtered upward occasionally
from bullish efforts but every time
sank lower down till it closed
after heavy and rapid sales from 81 TO 3hc
lower than Tuesday. Corn closed about &c low
er and oats &c below Tuesdays closing. Pork
declined 17@20c. If the Chicago market was in
the hands of the bears the reverse was the case
on Wall street. Stocks opened weak and lower.
but soon assumed firmer tone, led by st. Paul,
Northwestern, Northern Pacific, Western Union,
Union Pacific and Lake Shore, and after a slight
reaction the market gained strength and closed
strong and generally higher Mining shares
were extremely dull and closed weak.

IREL1ND,s DEC4DENcE.

The recent census returns of Ireland have
produced a good deal of discussion in that
country. The Dublin Nation has an article
entitled BLEEDING to Death'' in which it
says the lifeblood of Ireland is being drained
by vampires. Every one who has an inter-
terest in the country must grid his loins
against this murderous union. The EXTERN
ination of the Irish people has long been the
traditional aim of the English rulers. The
present executives will is set on actively pro-
noting the murderous system, which has al
ready robbed the country of 5000, 900 or g.
600, 900 of people. The United ireland de-
votes an article to the same subject, which it
entities eKilling Nation by Inches" 1t
1t says: for all practical purposes, Ireland is
suffering more awful drain of manhood than
if engaged in deadly conflict with first
class European power. She has lost since
the union more men than France lost in all
the sanguinary wars of Napolean. At least s.
600, 900 of people have been inundated in so
years to the demon of English supremacy.
Three millions of people whose brawny
frames supplied the physical force of the re-
peal meetings, were missing in 1852, when
the census enumerators came to count them
Two million nine hundred and thirteen thou
sousand of the population, who were spared
by famine, have been starved or transported
since. The waste goes on faster and more
furiously. Within the last year alone Ireland
lost 10S,0 900 emigrants, II, 900 of whom were
single adults. She lost in mere thews and
muscles more valued sons than were slain in
any of the greatest battles of the world.

THE RErALIATIoN QUESTION.


The report of the minority of the senate
committee OF foreign relations relative to re-
taliation on account of the exclusion OF
American meats is very sensible paper, and
covers in its essential features the points
which have been presented and urged by the
GLOBE in its discussion Of this proposed
measure. The senate minorityis OF the opinion
that there should be an official inspection OF
all meats to be exported and an embargo
laid on the expectation of any article which
is adulterated and which is not what it pre-
tends to be. When this shall have been
done, then it will be time to discuss retaia-
tory measures. Until we are certain that
what we offer to export is healtbful and what
it claims to be, we have no right to complain
of prohibition on the part of nations receiv-
ing our product.
This is a very sensible conclusion. 1t adj
mits that other countries have rights and as
serts that we are bound to respect them.
Another point in the report which COM
mends itself to the common sense of Ae
people, is the recommendation that when
there is demand or necessity for retalif-
ton the proper action shall be taken by
congress and not alone by the president. 1t
urges that it has dangerous tendency to
place such powers in the hands of the presi-
dent and would be an abdication Of its powers
by congress and their delegation to the presi-
dent. The report is to the effect that it is
the duty of the president not to make laws
but to execute them.
1t is to be hoped that these sensible views
will prevail. 1t is absurd to talk of the
purity Of American meats at time when
the newspapers are filled with accounts of
to prevent its spread. In view of these facts
congress cannot well assert that nothing is
wrong with our meat products, and at the
same time attempt to bulldoze foreign con-
sumers into receiving them without any
hesitation, and announcing that if they fail to
take them there will be a resort to retaliation.
Let us establish guarantee that our product
is pure. If congress shall establish this
guarantee then it will be the proper thing for
congress to see that our rights are not in
fringed in foreign markets.
Meanwhile the GLOBE will reiterate tina
The demand for retaliation is not made
merely by those who have
hogs to sell in Europe, but
by others who have articles to sell in this
country which come in competition with
European products.
They join in the clamor for retaliation. .
They hope under the guise of avenging the
alleged Insult to the American hog to be
able to secure in this market the abolition of
all opposition. What have the temperance
people to say of a project whose main object
is the exclusion of foreign wines simply in
the interests of the manufacturers of this

INPERI4L EXACTIONS.

The Empire state gobbles up with imperial
voracity the highest official appointments OF
thenation. Ofthe "a ENJOYS extraordinary and
ministers resident New York has 10, all but
one of whom were appointed by Arthur,
namely; France, 1880; Italy, $4,000;
China, $4,000; Guatemala, $4,000: Bel
GUM, 81, 500; Persia, $4,000; Portugal, So
900. Mr. Morton, Minister to France, was
the only one of the foregoing appointed by
President Garfield. In addition to the above
New York has 43 foreign appointments,
generally the best with salaries ranging from
81, 0OOto Sc, 900. Of these Arthur appointed
25 and Garfield s. The others held over
from Grant and Hayes.
New York has fully one-sixth of all foreign
appointments, and generally the choicest
and most desirable of the whole. The great
Empire State walks away with imperial gran
dcur with the best and most lucrative ap-
pointments of the government, besides en-
joying within herself, cities and State, in
Vulnerable official positions of national ap-
polntment, constituting no inconsiderable
army of office-holders. The stalwarts
claimed all these positions as by prescriptive
right, hence their war upon the half-breeds
and the Garfield administration.

Emerson Grand Concert.


To all lovers of vocal and instrumental
music a rare treat is promised at the Grand
tonight in the initial performance of the
Emerson Concert company. AS intimated,
the first of a series of concerts to be given
under the auspices of Acker Post, No. 81,
G. A. R., will be inaugurated tonight. The
sale Of seats has been very large and pro-
gramme is offered of rare artistic merit and
excellence.
The proceeds will be devoted to the memorial
day fund of the post, and there should be "a
large turnout
In referring to former entertainment by
the Emerson company an exchange speaks
as follows:
There was not feature in the entire pro
gram that was not worthy of special notice
and if the members Of the company had an
swered the :alls for temperance which were
loudly made, the program, which is quite an
extensive one, could not have been carried
out. The cornet playing of Walter Emerson
was grand and beautiful and his rendition
of 'Old Black joel upon that instru-
strument was received with prolonged
applause. Miss Higgins is pianist of
a great deal of merit, and there is no trouble
for person who has not even a cultivated
ear to tell that she is an artist. Lily Runals
has magnificent voice and it is under per-
feet control ''Her Flower Grip was loudly
encored, and the song with which she an
swered the same, ''When We Went Haying,"
was equally well received. Charles F. Hig-
gins. although scarcely more than boy, has
the happy faculty of proving to the audi
ence that he is not follower but leader
in violin music. The finest number on the
programme, however, was the cornet solo,
"Miserere," II Trovatore, by Verdi, by
Messrs. Walter Emerson and Lem II. Wiley.
1t was just simply grand and "Genevieve, -
which was given in answer to the encore
brought down the house. Mr.. Emerson in
these last two selections seemed to almost
out do himself and Mr.. Lem Fl. Wiley has
not got superior even in the star.
