New York Sun (Dem): If the
Democratic party shall decide to make
the tariff the chief issue in 1884, the
National Democratic convention must
put forth clear and unequivocal dec
laration in favor of free trade. In no
other way can the question of reduc-
ing the tariff to revenue basis be
distinctly and intelligently presented
before the public for their approval or
rejection. The historic phrase which
was fatal TO the Democrats in 1880 has
passed through such course of con-
tradiction and bejugglement that even
IFS terse and simple language, "a tariff
for revenue only" is subject to more
than one Interpretation and under
standing.
Boston Globe DENY: For Repub-
lican administration, A:thur's has
been as good as could be expected,
and much better than we would be
likely to get from Blaine, Edmunds,
or any of that crowd, but the business
interests are not TO be congratulated
upon the condition sto which they
have been brought by the general mis-
rule of the Republican party.
st. Louis Globe-DemOcrat (Rep.):
Chester A. Arthur can poll every Re-
publican vote in the state of New
York outside of the city, and is strong
er by q, 900 votes in the city of New
York than any other man yet named
as candidate for the Republican
nomination. This fact ought to count
for something among the delegates.

impression that the band contest did
not take place until Thursday after

its rendition of several pieces on our

that had they been in the contest they
certainly would have received the Sec

the first. This band is of recent orr
gin, but is composed of young, gentle
men of marked musical talent, as well

The jury which acquitted Wheeler
of the murder of Matthews at Hazel
hurst, Miss, make statement to the
effect that neither politics nor public
opinion affected their verdict, and
that after prayer to the Almighty they
reached the conclusion that Wheeler
was innocent. When we consider
that Wheeler deliberately killed Mat
thews, because, and only because, the
latter was a republican and insisted on
voting the republican ticket, and that
there has at no time been particle of
doubt as to either the killing or the
murderer's motive, it is no wonder the

Burlington Hawkeye (Rep.): The

There has been no public measure in

Endorsed by the people. through the

NO JUSTICE IN MISSISSIPPI.

Senators Lamar and George, of
Mississippi, are much put about by the
prompt acquittal of Wheeler, charged
with participation in the Copiah muir
der. Both Senators have been prcpar-
ing speeches against the report of Sen
atOr Hoar on the Copiah atrocities,
which will be soon submitted in the
senate. A disagreement of the jury
in Wheeler's case would have given
them some ground Oh which to defend
the administration of justice in their
state as between white Democrats and
colored Republicans. The acquittal of
Wheeler shows, however, that there is
not even semblancc of justice in
Mississippi in cases where Republicans
whether white or black, are the vic
tins. Senators Frye, Harrison, Sher-
man, Cullom, and Conger will make
speeches in favor of the adoption OF
the Hoar report.-LedrenwOrM Times.

to be married. Whereupon the old
lady said she had much experience in
the marrying business" and would
give the young lady some advice, and
here is what she said: swell, child,
never marry a railroader, for he is liza
BILE to get killed at any TIME. Never
marry a military man. for he is liable
to go to war and get shot. Besides, his
gorgeous clothes attract the attention
of the women. Never marry a hotel
keeper. My first husband was hotel
keeper and fell through the elevator
opening and broke his skull. Never
marry travelling man, for he is always
away from home. Never marry n
steamboater. My second husband was
a steamboat captain, and got bowed
int 100000 pieces! I always get
terribly mad when think of that man.
Never marry grocer. My third hus-
band was a grocer, and he was killed
by q molasses barrel fallin' on him.
When think of him I'm completely
disguised. Never marry carpenter.
My fourth husband was carpenter,
and fell of a scaffold and was smashed
to q jelly. May his soul sleep In
peace! Never marry machinist. NV
fifth husband was machinist. I'll
never forget the day he was brought
home on q board. / didn't recognize
him, A belt had come off "a pulley and
hit him plum in the face and spread
his nose all over his countenance.
promised him on his dyin' bed that I'd
never marry another machinist Just
then the train rolled in and the old
lady asked: "Child, what business is
your loverin?" Insurance business"

him? Ny sixth husband was an in
