SINCE Christmas Washington money-lenders
complain that they 'pestered to death" by
improvident department clerks who spent all
their money in buying holiday gifts and now
have rent to pay and coal to buy. The shy
locks of the capital formerly helped to keep the
wolf away from their own doors by charging the
clerks 10 per cent. month and taking assign
nents of their salaries: but since they have been
prohibited from asking more than a beggary 5
per cent for thirty days, the clerks are not
encouraged as customers.

IT is to be hoped that no such disasters to
life and property will occur in 1884 as made
1883 memorable. The Java earthquake heads
the list of horrors by which thousands of
lives were lost and millions of property swal-

be hard TO believe that any disaster half so
appalling will happen during this year.

in name only; that feast of lights and fires in
various forms had been observed by most
heather nations about this time of the year long
before the Child of Mary or the Maccabees
achieved their victories. In regard to the war
waged by the Maccabees, DR.. Gottheil made the
following curious statement:
Through this great war Christianity was
made possible The prosecutors of Antiochus
had well-nigh succeeded in killing Judaism. Had
the old stout-hearted priest of Modem not
sounded the war trumpet, Jupiter would have re-
manned enthroned on Zion, and his pollutng
worship would have taken the place of that of
the Holy One of Israel Jesus might have been
reared in that religion and learned Homer in
stead of the Jewish Scriptures. The Bible would
have disappeared, or at least come down to us in
a foreign garb and in broken fragments; for it
was death to any one to hide copy much less
to read in one Had the Passover been replaced
by heather feast of spring how could there be
a eucharistic offering or a Catholic massl With
out our Pentecost how could apostles have
spoken in tonguesl Had there been no Phari-
sale revival following the war of liberation there
would have been no Paul, an apostle to the gen.
tiles. The Maccabees were the true forerunners,
the Luther, not of section but of all sections
of Christendom."

the other day in way which might have been

the wreck trying to find the owners name on the

smothered outcriesa and also cut off the air, there

poace and Harmony.

II is time that those who were dlsap-
pointed by reason Of the defeat OF the Nor
rison tariff bill should cease their bitter
warfare on those brother Democrats who
disagreed with them upon that measure.
1t is also imperative that chickering's should
az once be suspended and harmony and
good feeling again prevail in the Demo-
cratic ranks. The ebulitions OF passion.
which in their very nature could be only
temporary, must now give place to thought
full action and fraternal delberation. We
can i'll afford to initiate our opponents by
resorting TO utilization and the abuse OF
each other. We want no factional dis
putes. nor can we tolerate discord. The
cool-headed men whom the party delight
to honor must see TO it that the Democratic
ship be not beiched at Chicago by hot
headed and indiscreet cOuDsels. Better
far would it be to endure defeat with 4
united front than 90 TO ruin by inward
distractions and factlOnal disagreement. In
our opinion. however, the Washington
fasco will prove OF immense benefit to the
Democratic leaders. Ii will impress them
with the fact that frequently there Is de-
feat-humilating defeat-ln an over-cont-
dence OF ones strength. 1t will result in
the exercise OF caution during the coming
campaign, and will induce united effort TO

The Democratic Situation.

That the Democratic party has reached
an important crisis Is plain to all. The
untimeIv agitation of so-called tartl-reform
is the storm that has well-nigh wrecked
our chances for success in the next presi-
dental election. d.,
II Is foolishly idle to charge Randall! and
the party Democrats who voted with him
with preventing tariff reform and dis
grazing the platforms and record OF their
party. Suppose the Democratic House OF
REPRESENTATIVES hadspassed the Morrison
bill. does any one for moment believe
that the Senate would have concarred, or
thot the President would have signed it !?
Not a bit OF It. With these facts staring
them in the face, the free-trade Democrats
OF the House, however, with reckless
ness and indiscretion almost beyond COM
prehension hoisted this Morrison bill as
party measure, and it was to be the stand
ard bv which TO test Democratic faith
the cleaner to separate the good from the
bad-the golden calf in blind subservency
to be worshipped!
To maintain that party is unalterably
bound to a certain policy for all time and
cannot change or grow with the country
is an absurd position, but IL this be true,
rs the ultra free-trading element afirms,
then we say it is time for the Democratic
party to change its principles and IFS name.
As the two political parties now stand we
cannot win the presidency with New York
and PENNSYLVANIA against us, and these
two States will never be carried on a free
trade platform. No, Randall and mis- fol-
lowers are not to be made the scapegoat
for others sins. 1t was against their pro-
test that the tariff question was mentioned,
for they saw the improprietv and ineXpe-
diency Of such course at this time.
The blame OF the present disruption in
the Democracy lies at the door OF Carlisle
and Morrison. With the mistaken idea OF
placing themselves upon record" ~
substituting shadow for substance, they
have done the party incalculable injury.
1t was not at all necessary that they should
put themselves upon such record as the
ore they have recently made. Their con-
stituents would be satisfied with their
course could they return home, and say
that tariff reduction, as they regard it, at
this time was an impossibility, that the
true issue was reform change OF the
rulers who have abused the high trusts
committed to their hands, and q return
from the extravagant and ruinous govern
ment OF to-day to the honest. economical,
and Democratic administrations OF Jeffer-
son, Madison, and Monroe.
We hope the National Convention will
adopt platform which will bind and ce-
ment the conflicting views OF the party in
one harmonious and earnest purpose to
first secure the reins of Government.
Then, and not until then, can the Demo-
crazy hope to accomplish anything towards
reducing taxes and tightening the burdens
now resting upon the HalQo1
Record.

An Appeal 10 MIR. Randall.


1t will probably be necessary to invoke
the aid OF Mr.. Randall in order to get
timely consideration for the Blair educa-
tional bill in the House. The people OF
the southern States have more than once
turned with confidence to the eminent
Pennsylvania when they urgently needed
help. Face to face as they are to-day with
a mass OF ignorance, which is simply appall-
ing, and with which they can no more deal
by themselves than child with giant,
they need the aid offered by the Senate bill
introduced by Senator Blair. They need
it now. Mr.. Randall is not on the Com
mittee on Education. but he is, beyond
question, the ablest and best-equipped man
in the House, and he can secure the report
and passage of the bill during the present
session if he will.
Here is an opportunity, and we hope
that our presidential candidate-the State
OF yirgina's canddate-will improve it,

The Virginia Tariff,

The Marion Conservatives Democrat has
analyzed the tariff plank OF The Richmond
platform, and gives to its readers in the
following paragraph its idea OF what sort
Of tariff the Virginia Democrats demand.
Ii says:
The tariff plank in the platform which
was formulated and promulgated by the
Democrats OF Virginia in Convention as
sembled is worthy OF the careful considera-
ton Of every voter. 1t declares for tdrtV
for revenue tariff such as Is needed to
raise the revenue necessary to defray the
expenses OF the Government. 1t favors q
tariff that will meet the expenses OF the
Government and thereby render unneces-
sary so much direct taxation. 1t declares
for tariff for revenue limited to the ne
cessities OF Government economically
administered. Does any one want the reve-
nues to exceed the expenses OF the Gov
ernment? Does not every one believe in
economy i'm governmental expenditures !?
1t favors tariff so adjusted in its applica-
ton as to prevent unequal burdens. Would
any one favor a tariff that would protect
any class TO the detrlment OF another
VINO is it that wishes TO pull down one
class in order to build up another? II
further declares for such tariff as will en-
courage productive interests at home and
affol just compensation to labor. Who
does not want tariff that will encourage
home manufactures Who does not wish
that the laboring man suall be rewarded
for his labors The Virginia platform also
declares for tariff that VIII not create or
foster monopoies. Does any man wish 10
see monopolies created aid fostered and
thereby enabled to Cypress the people
Will any man of the people champion the
interests OF the monopolist?

prefer that sort OF tariff 10 ga tariff fol

and popular rights ended in victory for
the people. And no longer was the - Eng

melled by the legal tyrannies which had
taken the place OF the arbitrary assump-
lions of the Throne. and henceforth the
mind as well as the person OF the British
citizen was free before the law, and his
dwelling free from invasion-due In large
part to the teachings OF BrOHgham and the
great Erskine. not to mention the host
whose names are not written on the pages
OF the history OF that time. This happen
ed i'm the Kingdom OF Britain.
But have we no wrongs and no injustice
entrenched in laws passed during excite
ment-passed when the heat OF conflict
obscured reason and drowned the dicta-
ton of the heart Witness our internal
revenue laws. our unequal tariff; that
unwrtten but no less powerful law
which bars our southern people from the
higher offices OF the Government; the
Jury laws, so framed as to keep our best
citizens from participation in the legal
decisions which affect them the constant
reminder that martial law can be declared,
and that fearful tyranny-not permitted in
England-the use OF soldiers at election
precincts, held over us as a threat to keep
down the manly instincts of resistance

But should take too much time, II L
have not already offended, should attempt
to call TO mind the many wrongs which an
enlightened public opinion and the awak-
ened intelligence OF our people will at
some time Judge and destroy. When
once the parent OF all these iniqulties, the
Republican government, shall have been
stricken from the seat Of power, then its
enactments wi fall with it, and freedom.
and peace, and prosperity will cover our
land. And yet there are many who would
endanger this great boon by tying the
hands OF Democracy with the withes OF the
tariff, and though they might be broken,
its strength would assuredly not be like the
unbound Samson. h. Z. e..
