Amusing Stories.

What an amusing lot Of stories there
are afloat about the Morrison tariff bill
A new one makes its appearance nearly
every other day. Late last week M0rri-
son was seen walking in the House lobby
arm-in-arm with Judge Kelley, the leader
of the Republican protectionists. 1t was
Immediately whispered around. and soon
telegraphed abroad, that Morrison was
trying to effect a combination with the
Republicans to secure support for his
bill. OF course there was not the least
foundation for such a story. Last Satur-
day it was reported that Representative
Eaton, Of Connecticut, on behalf Of a
number Of the Democratic protection
members, called on Morrison and begged
him TO give up his bill and to consent TO
substitute for it another bill which
he (Eaton) would assist in framing.
Morrison became very angry and en-
phatically refused to consider any such
proposition. This second story is as alb
surd as the first. The Democratic pro-
tectionists are as much agains: consider
ing any tariff bill as they are against the
Morrison bill. Any bill reducing the
tariff that Eaton might draw up would
meet with the same opposition that Nor
rison's bill encounters. The Morrison
bill is the bill Of the Ways and Means
Committee and received the approval Of
all the Democratic members Of that COM
mittee before it was reported to the House.
That committee represents the tariff
policy of the Democratic party. What
nonsense it is. therefore. to suppose that
Morrison would consent 10 let Eaton
draw bill TO be substituted for his bill.
But these amusing stories are not based
on reason.

LOUIsIANA's ELECTION LAW.
The Trouble which the Ballot Paper
Has Given.

The new patent election law prescribed
by the Louisiana Legislature fer the use
of the people, says a New Orleans special
to the New York Times, promises to come
back to plague the inventors. The law
says:
''That all the names of persons voted for
shall be printed on one ticket or ballot Of
white paper of uniform size and quality, to
be furnished by the Secretary Of State"
As soon as the Republicans nominated
their ticket, Judge Merchant, the Chair
man of the Republican Campaign Com
mittee, and a very shrewd politician, lost
no time in calling on the Secretary of
State and purchasing a very large supply
of the ticket paper. The balance Of the
supply was purchased by few New Or
leans job printers. Then it was discovered
that the stock was exhausted, and not
half the country parish Democrats were
supplied. This places the Democratic
official in an unpleasant predicament, and
sent him in haste to this city. How the
matter was finally arranged is explained
in card which he publishes in the morn
ing papers here, in which he lets the cat
out of the bag in saying:
lowing to the uneasiness felt in regard to

.>TN priff Bill Today.


VI is<Acted that Mr.. Morrison will
calI>Vp as tariff BIZ to-day. There is a
gSe1 deal Of sr,ecW alton whether the pro-
lection Democrats will favor or oppose
the considera ton Of the bill. Last week
a leading Rel publican Representative said
that at least forty Democrats would join
the Republicans against considering the
bill. That number viii be sufficient to
defeat it. 1t is not improbable, however,
that the Republican Representative was
not well informed 1t is certain that
strong influence has been brought to bear
ON the protection Democrats TO induce
them to vote against taking up the bill.
All the available arguments have been
used. II is said that the backward cOndi-
ton Of the appropriation bills and the
lat eness Of the session make a tariff de-
bate impracticable. The uselessness Of
passing or even Of debating a bill that is
certain tO meet no encouragement in the
Senate. is urged with all the force Of which
IL i susceptible. 1t may be that the pro-
lection Democrats viii yield TO the press
ure brought to bear on them, and will help
the Republicans defeat the bill. If they
do. it j. about as certain as anything can
be that they will have occasion 10 regret
| their action. Now is the time for the
[ Democrats to show the country that their
professions in favor of tariff reform are
/ genuine. They can do this only by pro-
ceeding with the work Of reducing the
/ tariff. Because the appropriation bills are
/ demanding attention is no reason why the
aVfH f.f eE no Of
/ ~ is as important as the appropriation
/ bills. II is, in fact. far more important TO
4 the Democratic party. Let the people
get the idea that the Democratic par
| ty has been shamming with re-
! gard to tariff reform, and its
| chance Of success in the Presidential con-
test will be gone. The Republicans are
eXerting themselves to prevent the con-
| siderati0n of the bill. If it is 50 certain
that its passage viii damage the Demo
Gratis. and that the bill cannot get through
the Senate, why are the Republicans OBJ
iecting 50 strongly tOit. 1t would seem
as if policy would dictate to them to let
the Democrats damage their party by
passing the bill IN the House as quickly
as possible Why do they oppose it: Do
they fear that after all tariff reform may
prove very popular with the people, or
are they in doubt as to what the Senate
would do with the bill? Perhaps they
understand that in the very near future
public sentiment will demand a great re-
duction in the tariff. and they are prepar-
ing to reap the benefit Of making it. The
last annual message Of the President, and
the last report of the Secretary Of the
Treasury certainly look towards tariff re-
ductiQn The protection Democrats who
accept the voice Of few manufacturers
as the voice of the people. make a great
mistake. They may defeat the only policy
that promises to give their party control
of the government and they may see that
policy adopted by the Republican party.

Tho Salvation Army.

The salvation Army may have done
some GOOD. but it is not composed of the
kind of people that one cares TO have a
great deal to do with. The army has not
invaded the South. and it is doubtful if
there are any regrets on that account.
The methods of the army are not in all re-
spects cOmmendable. In New York and
Brooklyn it hasn't awakened unalloyed
enthusiasm. 1t has created some excite
ment, but the better class Of people has
kept away from the meetings. The Sal
walton Army scheme originated in Eng
land. and met with great success. The
General-in-C Chief, it is alleged, made a
fortune in "a short time selling religious
publications of one kind and another.
The commander Of the Salvation Army
forces in this country is Maj. Thomas +.
Moore. His headquarters are in Brook
lyn While conducting services there on
Saturday a couple of New Brunswick. n.
j.. detectives arrested him. The charge
against him in New Jersey was grand
larceny. 1t seems that he drew from the
bank 5000 which is claimed by branch
of the army which no longer recognizes
the Majors authority, and to which, it is
alleged. he had no right whatever. He IS
i'm very unpleasant position and Will
have some trouble to rid himself Of the
entanglements Of the law. He may be
uniustly accused, but, admitting that he
is, there is something wrong either with
the branch or main stem of the army.

It is stated that during Gen. Grants
recent visit to Washington President Ar
thur, contrary to all precedent, paid him
the honor Of personal visit. II appears,
however. that the visit was loves labor
lost, for instead Of making an early re-
turn call at the White House to show his
appreciation Of the compliment, Gen.
Grant merely sent over his card. This
was certainly very rude conduct, if not
personal insult, on the part Of Gen. Grant.
But he probably has reason to connect
the Presidents visit with the construc-
ton department of his Presidential boom
and wished TO administer little check TO
the maneuvre.
