KING CAUCUS.
A Tariff Bill to BE Report ed, But Member.
to Vote According to Their COnvic-
tions-ReductiOn of Tax On

ilohs-heuuttlpI oi laN ph
Spirits and Tobacco.
Ii was nearly midnight when the
Democratic tariff caucus adjourned OF
Tuesday night, and the members looked
relieved when they filed out of the hall
There had been four hours of earnest
talk on the policy Of the party. but
there were no personal remarks and no
attempt was made to bully or threaten
anyone with expulsion from the ranks.
At the outstart each side made the
usual demonstration of not yielding.
Carlisle made speech, which was i
strong argument for tariff reform. He
did not, however, mince words, and
spoke plainly-the Randall men say
dictatorially. He said that it was alb
solutely necessary that the party should
declare for tariff reform. His was the
longest and most emphatic of the many
speeches made.
Mr.. Cox On. W was next to him
in fact, surpassed him in vchemence.
Mr.. Cox was for forcing the Morrison
bill upon the caucus.
Mr.. Morrison made the first motion
of the evening. 1t was that his bill be
adopted. This gave rise to a long dis
cussion. 1t was earnest and solemn
talk for the most part. AT first the
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut
and Ohio Democrats would say moth
ing. King, of Louisiana, and one or
two others went among them and
asked them to take active part. They
then thre1. aside their stubborn spite
and made speeches against the Morri-
son bill. They said that if it were
passed by the House those States would
50 Republican.
Various attempts iii the meantime
were making to draw Randall out. He
would not talk, however, and said moth
ing during the evening except to speak
on one point of order.
1t became evident that the Morrison
bill could not go through the caucus,
and motion to that effect was voted
down, when the yeas and nays were
called.
Hopkins, OF Pennsylvania, moved that
when the tariff comes up in the House
each member shall be allowed to vote
as his convictions and the interest Of
his local constituency dictate. After
much discussion this was adopted.
King, of Louisiana, offered a resolu-
ton referring to a joint committee of
SIX from the House and five from the
Senate the question of the tariff with
instruction to report what legislation
was advisable at this session.
Nicholas, of Georgia, moved to
amend by having the committee com
posed of one from each State. Nei-
ther motion prevailed.
Morrison then arose and said that he
would not persist that there should be
Il Morrison bill, but there must be I
tariff bill. This conciliatory movement
was met by vote of adoption.
Carlisle again rose and said that in
the interest of harmony he would move
that in any reduction of the tariff there
should be proportionate reduction of
the tax on tobacco and fruit brandies.
This met with favor, by North and South
Carolina and Virginia members. Frank
Hurd moved that instead of CarliSle's
proposition there should be reduction to
10 per cent. of the tax on tobacco and
fruit brandies. This was adopted.
The policy of Democrats. Is deter

a New HAMPSHIRE editor is dis
gusted because the Democratic call
for its National Convention uses the
term conservative" He disclaims
being Conservative, and defines one
as shriveled old mummy, a nobody,
or at best, a timid, hating, chicken
hearted, half scared-to death old wo-
man, just about the kind, we should
say, of those who will constitute this
National Convention. And so they want
the conservatives, the craCk-peepers,
the still-hunt, acknowledgements sort,
to come to Chicago to set up an IMAM
innate molten calf to worship in the
campaign.

mined by the caucus, is, therefore, that
there shall be tariff reduction, that
members may talk and vote as are
their convictions, and that there shall
be in the tariff bill and internal revenue
reduction on tobacco and fruit bran
dies as indicated. Discussion will
come up i'll the House next week
The basis of reduction will, of course
be the Morrison bill.

For the first time since the war a
Republican Mayor was elected in
Hagerstown, Md, Monday. The cleo
ton for town officers was complicated,
with very exciting contest over the
adoption Of a new charter. The affairs
OF the corporation were so badly man.
aged by the retiring officials that a
number Of leading Democrats united
with the Republicans in framing a new
charter, which will make such abuses
impossible in the future. The Repub-
lican candidate for Mayor got the bene-
fit CT the split in the Democratic party
on this question, although the defeated
candidate was also an advocate of the
new charter.

Live Seeds.

OF course none of us want to plant any
thing but live seeds. In order to secure
them we must deal only with reliable
parties. Dead seeds, especially of corn,
are likely to be offered this year in great
quantities. Hiram Sibley n Co., of Re-
chester, n. y, and Chicago, Ill, are a
house that it is safe to deal with. AL
though they sell thousands of varieties
vegetable, tielu and flower seeds, yet
they make speciality Of seed eorn.

The Washington STAR says States
Rights, like free trade, furnishes the
basis for admirable theory, but when it
comes down to practical application its
most ardent supporters often desert it.
The Senate by vote of 20 to IA
passed the resolution appropriating
100000 to be expended in aiding the
extirpation Of the cattle disease, and in
the face of the declaration that it was
an infringement upon the rights OF
States, Democrats voted for it. 1t is a
noteworthy fact that in matters of this
kind the uncompromising States
Rights construction comes from those
who are not in a way to be benefited
by the proposed appropriation.

to every one of the class to whom the
tax is a mere bagatelle, are the class
who want this law. They feel the bur-
den of this tax heavily, and they cry
out for relief, and are met with a long
rigmarole about sinking funds and re-
duction of revenue, etc, and all capped
by veto upon their wishes.
In our opinion, Governor McLane
has made great mistake in applying
his veto so glibly. He had better have
waited until the Ist of April, and then
when he found how obnoxious it was
to the people he could have called it a
little joke of his.

Two, hundred and fifty years ago
last Tuesday, the first Lord Baltimore
landed on little island in the Poto-
mac river, which he named st. Gle
ment's, and, it being the feast of the
annunciation, Father White, the chap
lain of the expedition, celebrated mass.
Two days later March IT, I634, the
colonists made permanent lodgment
on the Maryland shore and located
upon a piece of ground which they
piously named St. Mary's. From this
beginning sprang the State of Mary
land. In its early days Lord Balti-
more's colony was more fortunate than
any that had preceded it to the new
world, and there was nothing in its
whole history that was not entirely
honorable to its founder.

If tariff man is to be nominated
for President by the Democrats, the
honor may fall on Mr.. Randall. Mr.
Tilden's feeble health will not permi,
him to accept the nomination. There
is some reason to think that he will
name Mr.. Randall as his political lega-
tee. Mr.. William l.. Scott, one Of
Mr.. Tilden's strong men, will be 4
delegate to the convention from Penn
sylvania, and the fact that he is fcl
Randall is quite significant.

gressional district to examine pension
claimants in person.

SENATOR BLAIR occupied the entire
session of the Senate on Tuesday with
an address on public education. He
spoke on the bill to aid in the support
Of common schools. The bill appro-
pirates S15,ooo,ooo for the first year,
and decreases the amount SI,ooo,ooo
a year for ten years, the money tc be
distributed among the States on the
basis of illiteracy. Mr.. Blair thought
this was the most important bill that
had been brought before the Senate
since the war. Not more than three
fourths of the voters could weigh the
reasons for and against public measures
and had common schools existed every
where and in sufficient numbers all
over the United States there would
have been no war.

ALL right-thinking Republicans want
the strongest and best man nominated

ALL right thinking Republicans want
the strongest and best man nominated
at Chicago, irrespective of personal
preferences. Among this class there
are few, if asked to indicate such a
one, who would not name Geo. F. Ed
munds, of Vermont. The very reasons
urged against him speak potently and
urgently in his favor. The politicians
do not want him. So much the better
the people will support him the more
ardently. He does not want the
Presidency good reason why he
should be chosen. He would give dig
nifty to the office, and would be an alb
solutely safe man. All men of all par
ties and all business interests would
feel absolutely safe so far as prudence,
ability, experience and stainless integ-
rity colld make them so, were George
F. Edmunds in the Presidential chair.
He would be unquestionably the
strongest candidate where strength is
most needed.-EX.

REV. DR.. L. L. CUyLER, of \. V,
who had been an enthusiastic advo-
cate of prohibition, has written a note
to the New York EVENING POSr, de-
clarins his adhesion TO the idea of
high-hcense. His reasons are as fol-
lows: 81. The system of licensing
saloons of public temptation is likely
to continue for some time to come ,,
as many excellent and philanthropic
citizens believe that high-license will
curtail these saloons and diminish
drunkenness and crime, he wants to
see the experiment fairly tried-as, if
it succeed, half a loaf is better than no
bread, and if it fail, he can say to DIR.
Crosby and others, Your reaper has
been fairly tried and will not cut 5.
He desires to free himself from the
charge of impracticable fanaticism ;
and, 4, after forty years of earnest
effort for the removal of drunkenness
and the drinking usages which lead to
it, he is convinced that local control
is the most effectual remedy"
