1t is just as we'll as it is. We have
contemplated very complacently fol
some time the result that has beer
reached. 1t is a good thing to know
beyond a question whs are friends and
who are enemies. The caucus fixed
the democratic position on tue tariff, as
it will be fixed by the national demo-
cratic convention. Mr.. Morrison only
framed in his bill the voice of democ-
racy in favor of a reduction of redund-
ant taxation. Mr.. Randall and Mr..
Converse, by an alliance with the re-
publicans, defeated democratic express
sion in a house of representatives over
whelmingly democratic. They protest
that they were not bound by the eau
Gus. They say that only a convention Of
the party a outline its policy. Well
and goodi When the convention meets
there will be no republican enemies to
back them in their undemocratic course.
Whom do they expect to sustain them
then? Shall the party stultify itself,
spit upon its past two platforms, and
crawl abjectly upon Its belly in the
mud? Or shall it in the splendor of
an honest manliness stand up and
proclaim its principles? There can be
but one answer. We long to see the
day when in that body Samuel j. RAN
dali will venture to rise on the floor and
oppose John G. Carlisle. We know
is bold and brave, but he is not
bold or brave enough for that. He will
stay out of the convention or put
forward a Converse to offer his resolu-
tion.

The st. Louis Republican answers the
question, "Who is responsible?" for the
ineficiency of the American navy thus:
CHOW, who is responsible for this hui
initiating condition of things1 When
the republican party came into power
it found a navy, small indeed, but eff
cient, and known all overthe world. 1t
boosted such names as Ingraham, Hart
stein, He rndon. Tatnall, Perry andKane,
and no American was ashamed to al
ludeto it. This was under a democratic
regime. and it passed away with that
era. Republican rule has belittled the
foreign policy, discouraged foreign
commerce, well nigh annihilated our
shipping and given carrying trade
to the English, German, Italian, Span
ish and Portuguese vessels-and this is
the secret Of that degradation of the
United States Navy which Mr.. Kasson
so %eloquently deplores. With no mer-
chant ships on the high seas, the repub-
licans took the view that we did not
need a protecting navy. Oar COM
MERGE is carried in English bottoms,
and the English navy will do the pro-
tecting for them. With the tame,
spiritless and almost despicable foreign
which the republicans have dill
cultivated for twenty odd years,
q high spirited navy was impossible.
wonder, then, that this languid navy
has not produced a marked man since
the days of Farragut-who himself was
the product of the democratic regime
and has not embellished the national
annals by a single heroic exploit on the
high seas since the civil war;"

A Choir Anecdote.

In the April Century, the Rev Chas.
s. Robinson continues his discussion Of
the annoyances and humors of the mu-
steal service in churches, and relates
this anecdote: GLORIOUS Easter was
at hand and great preparations were
made in the rural parish for its cele-
bratiOn; boughs were twined in the
arches Of the building; flowers swung
in wreaths overhead and shone in
beautiful baskets among the aisles;
children had been rehearsing carols.
All the town came in on that notable
morning. 1t was a scene never to be
forgotten. The minister was radiant;
his eyes beamed with delight. But
thought struck him: this audience, so
happy, 50 generous, so enthusiastic
would they not hear him moment for
u stroke of business? After the invo-
cation and the first song, he surprised
them with a proposition to bring
Easter offerings now at once to Gods
altar, and lift the dear old church out
of debt: oh, then there would be res
direction! The congregation would
come up from under its great stone
into new life, if they would roll it
away! Then the plates went their
course, and hearts were touched, and
purses were emptied, and the heaps Of
money lay before the moistened eyes
of the relieved pastor as he TREMENDOUSLY
thanked good God for his peoples
fidelity in response. The money is
here, am sure it is, he exclaimed. If
there be little in arrears, it can be
made up in day, and now we are
ready heartily to 90 on with the wor-
ship of our risen Lord SO the fixed
programme proceeded. A little Ger
man had been procured from the met
ropolis for an annex to the tenor; his
solo came in at this exact crisis Of
grateful emotion; he rendered it with
fresh aplomb, though the consonants
were awkward: An de Diet sail be
raised-de Diet sail be raised-au' de
det-an' de det--sall be raised-sal be
raised-ln de twinkling of an ay-ecr
Now it is quite safe to say that
after the congregation went home, the
theme of the day was dissipated, and
the two events uppermost in every
body mind were the surprise which
the eager minister had sprung upon the
people and the ridiculous appropriate
ness Of the decamatory solo which fol
lowed it, On general principles, we
have no objection to the collection Of
money to discharge religious oUliga-
ton, even in divine service; but it does
seem pity that u humorous episode

The discovery was made to-day that
some one had invaded the famous old

moved the screws from the marble
slabs covering the vaults of between
twenty. ave and thirty of the tombs,
leaving them in situation to be readily

which the work was done is not known,
but the high wind last night blew the
loosened slabs from their places, and In
almost every instance shatteSPd them.
The cemetery looked as If 1t Mad been
struck by cyclone. The damage done
will foot up over $500. Two men were
discovered in the cemetery and chased.
and one of them was captured but he
denies all knowledge Of the affair. The
purpose of the ghouls is not known;
but as the cemetery Is the burial place
of wealthy old Creole families, 1t Is
