Pennsylvania Democrats Dissatis-
fed.

The tariff plank in the platform adopted
by the Pennsylvania Democratic State
Convention does not, it seems, give entire
satisfaction to the extreme protectionists
of the party. 1t is not as outspoken in
favor of protection as they think it ought
to be, and some Of them are protesting
vigorously against it. 1t is the tariff
plank that is in the platform of the Ohio
Democrats. Exactly what it means it
would be difficult to determine. 1t is a
mere jingle of words and presents moth
ing practical or substantial. 1t is a stupid
attempt to straddle the tariff issue, and is,
of course, a melancholy failure. The
Pennsylvania prOtectionists, however,
ought not to find fault with it..
Mr. Randall, who induced the Demo-
cratic State Convention to adopt
it, does not mean that there shall be any
reduction of the present prOhibitory du-
ties. if he can help it, the great monOp-
Olies built up under the present tariff are
not to be disturbed. He wants to stop all
tariff agitation until the country can he
made to believe that the internal revenue
system is Ubiquitous and ought to be abol-
ished. Ifhe can get clear of that system
he will feel that the war tariff is COM
paratively safe. The surplus revenue
is something over S1OO,0OO,OOO a year
and the receipts from the internal
revenue amount to $11G,OO0,0OO a year.
Without these internal taxes there
would really be small annual def
cheney. AS long as there was a de-
ticiency there would be no hope Of
reducing the tariff. Mr.. Randalps pro-
gramme is easily understood. it is a pro-
gramme, however, that he will not be able
to carry out. The Democratic party will
never consent to make whisky free while
the necessaries of life are taxed from 20
to go per cent.

Gen. L0gan's friends have been assur-

The man who defeated Bob Ingersoll for
the position of delegate to Chicago from
the District of Columbia is an llliterate
negro named Perry Carson. Soon after it
was announced that he had been chosen
he said: 81 can't read nor write, but 1

soils eloquence amounts to nothing in
conventions like. those which nominated
Perry Carson. No wonder the Republi-
can party is beginning to think that the

Commodore Shufeldts son, Lieutenant
Mason A. Shufeldt, who has just returned
from Madagascar. seems to be following in
the footsteps of his father. His report of his
tour through the land Of Hoyas, which is TO
be flied at the Navy Department 10 few
days, is q thrilling document. His trip
across Madagascar, which occupied about
100 days, resulted in the death of all
his white companions and oyer 400 OF the
GOO men who started with him. His journey
from the west coast of Madagascar 10 the
mainland OF Africa, in an open boat and
without compass, was as wonderful rs his
experiences among the savsges OF Madagas-
car. Herewith is given his portrait. in his
Madagascar costume, and that of his distin-
guished father; also that of M. De Les5e pes,
whose canal scheme the Commodore pro-
nounces impractioable, the portrait of M.
De Lesseps being from photograph Just re-
ceived from Paris,
