Philadelphia is having an exposition OF
Western journalistic amenities. The city
editor of the Times and reporter of the
Press have had a misunderstanding
about the question Of the employment Of
cOlored reporters by the former paper.
They are accusing each other of printing
tissues of malicious falsehoOds, etc.
One Of the colOred reporters also publishes
a card saving that he feels like punching
the Press repOi ter's head for abiding to
him as ''darkey." 1t would be well for
John sherman to keep his eye on the
Press. Have colored journalists no
rights that Republican papers are bound
toIespeet: Probably they are Democrat
ic '.darkeys," however.
There is something grand in the digni-
fed manner in which Chairman Morrison
and the majority of the Ways and Means
Committee have demeaned themselves on
the tariff question. There has been no
undue haste and no unnecessary delay IN
considering the bill looking towards re-
form Of the tariff. The prOtectiOnists have
been unremitting in their threats and
arguments. The former have had no
effect. while the latter have been patient
" heard and duly considered. 1t is the
policy Of the tariff refOrmers to march
steadily forward with an eye single TO the
good of the whole country, Whatever
clamor has been raised against them by
xhe monopolists they have not halted or
wavered. There has not been a single
break in the ranks, and there is not like
is 70 be. If the bill is defeated it will be
an account Of a coalition between the
protection Democrats and the Republi-
cans. and not on account Of any blunder
or default of its supporters.

The Philadelphia Press had scarcely
finished mailing several thousand circu-

Of prominent men all over the country
when il gives editorial utterance to the
following sentiment: 'FellOw citizens,
at the outer edge OF the great political
crisis which this glorious country is about
TO enter. let us place our hands upon our
hearts and swear by our lives and sacred
honors that every fiend we catch going
through railway trains taking straw votes
for President shall die on the spot. The
way to avert this peril is to remove it."
A great Republican paper is nothing if
not inconsistent.

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher has been
lecturing in Washington on the Mormon
question. He believes severe measures
on the part of Congress will strengthen
the Mormon church and pOlygamy, and
that education and the influences of civ
ilization are the irresistible weapons for
ensuring the downfall OF he Mormon
power. 1t is stated that the chances are
against the passage of any additional
laws looking to the suppression of polyg-
amy at the present session of Congress.

The New York Prison Reformers are
somewhat non-plussed. They have abol-
ished the convict labor contract system,
to take effect as the present contracts ex-
pire. Now each county pays 81 per week
for the board of its cOnvicts, but the
keeper of the Albany Penitentiary points
out that when the contracts expire the
counties will have to pay about 81 80 per
week for each convict. Counties that
have a hundred or two conyicts in the
penitentiary will find this tax rather bur-
deusome. Some of the contracts, how
ever. have five wears vet to run.
