A SPLIT INEVITABLE.
THE MORRISON AND RANDALL.
MEN AT DAGGERs POINTS
OyTAE TARIFF ISSUE.

i WASHINGTON, March 90 Coo
headed Democrats, whether in favor
or opposed to tariff legislation at thi
session, are in a state of great anxiet.
on account of the bitter hostility b.
tween the Democratic friends and op
ponents of the Morrison bill in tn
| House. A ve eran Democrat to-day
said the situation reminds him OF tha
which preceded the beginning OF tht
Presidential contest OF 1860, and ht
fears that unless one faction or the
other slrrenders or both factions con
cede enough to bring them to common
ground, the coming Presidential cam
paign will result IN overwhelming dis.
aster to tho Democratic party, as did
that OF 1860.
Democrats who are opposed to the
Morrison bill seem to be more deter
mined than ever to put forth every ex.
ertion against it. The statement that
they will consent TO its consideration,
and content themselves by voting
against in Committee Of the Whole, is
denied by several Of their leaders. One
of them to-day said :" What right have
Watterson, Carlisle, Morrison and COM
pany to try TO rule US out of the party,
and declare that we are not Democrats,
simply because we oppose Morrison y
bill We do not say they are not Demo-
Gratis because they advocate it, and we
would have no right to say 80. We con-
tend that there IL room in the Demo-
cratic party for men who differ on this
question, and that Morrison and his
friends have no right to apply this test
Of party orthodoxy to us simply because
they are q majority" =,
These remarks indicate the radical
difference between the two factions.
The free traders--or revenue re-
formers" az they prefer to style them
selves-are contending for what they
seriously and earnestly believe to be .
vital political principle, while mem
bers of the opposing faction are chiefly
anxious to dodge the tariff question al
together A free trade Democrat to-
day said 1--WE are going to fight it
out on this line. If we are beaten
in the House we will appeal to the
National Convention, and If we are de-
fea,ed there we will break up the
party" Another said
we may lose lnle Ilosi"ou't"i oio'-
ton, but we will have a principle to
contend for, and will win in 1883. We
may lose in the East, but we will more
than offset our losses by gains 10 the
West and South. The caucus will pass
the resol alton to be offer by Speaker
Carlisle. If the bill is defeated in the
House after that, Randall and his crowd
will be responsible, and they will be
punished. There will not be room tor
chem in the Democratic party
1t is given out that the caucus may
decide that it will be wise to drop the
free list. 1t is also said that Chairman
Morrison will press the bill for con,
sideration in the House soon after the
caucus. The Republicans will snlidly
oppose 1t at every stage.

AIObbyint's Libel Suit,

This evening the popular opera en-
titled "The Queens Lace Handker.
chief" will be presented by Patterson .
New York Opera Company.
The plot of thia opera is excellent !;
the scenes are laid In Portugal, the
first and second acts being in the court
of the King. The country Is ruled by
the Ministry, the King being but nine
teen and the Queen but seventeen years
of age. The Prime Minister, in order to
keep power in his own person, foments
discord between the King and Queen.
Cervantes, the peet, in love with Irene
(the Queen 3 contidante), joins with
her in acts of friendship toward the
young King and Queen, and desires the
overthrow of the Ministry. Cervantes
Is appointed reader to her Majesty, End
she, girlishly conceiving fondness for
him, gives him a lace handkerchief on
which she has written :" A Queen
loves thee, yet art thou no King" Thus
is given foundation for any number of
comical, sentimental, and picturesque
incidents, which the author has used
most cleverly to a pleasing finale.

The New York Sun bas lengthy
article on gunpowder and its manutac'
ture, which concludes with the follow
ing reference to the old established firm
of DUPONT, de Eemours & Co., of this
city.
"The oldest American firm inanutaC-
turing gunpowder has been in existence
nearly ninety years, during which time
its name has not changed, Its founders

For years this family or community

market "a nd succeeded in crushing every
new powder manufacturer
Once during the late war they confess
ed that their mills were inadequate to

agreed to furnish them within a stipu-
lated time large amount of powder,
which they, in turn, were 10 sell to the
Government. Immediately upon the
signing of the contract the powerful
arm bought up all the saltpetre In the
United States and contracted for all
that could be shipped froLA Europe for
months to come, so that their victim

The Cattle Disease.

In the Senate of Kansas, yesterday, a
resolution was adopted for the appoint.
ment of committee of seven to inves-
tigate the cattle disease. In the House,
a bill was reported by Especial commit,
tee for the suppression of the disease,
and bill was introduced accepting the
terms of any act passed by Congress in
relation to the cattle disease.
A special despatch from Springfield,
Illinois, says ID. E. Salmon, Veterinari-
an of the Department OF Agriculture,
telegraphs that the foot and mouth
disease at Neosho is not spreading, and
that no contagious disease exists in
counties further west.
1t is reported from Xenia. Illinois,
that twenty head of cattle have recent
ly died ON the farm Of r. T. Forth, in
Wayne County, it is thought, from foot
and mouth disease. The State Neteri
marian will investigate the matter.

For the REPUBLICAN,.
! was amused at Mr., Deans article on
Wednesday, touching upon what the Repub.
II an party ought to do by he colnrcd voters
1t exci.es no surprise In me to know how
cheap slander Is In the mouths %. some per-
sons. Mr.. Dean talks iitppantly Of the black
race. Tho want of honesty in the blacks that
he talks about is only an effect OF a preceding
cause.-the holding Of them in slavery for over
two hundred years. They were taught TO lie,
cheat and steal, and to commit all sorts OF
crimes, nJw some men are generous enough
to sla der them. / he wonder Is not that
they are as bad as Mr.. Dean says, but that
they are not ten fold worse.
Let US wait patiently Tor two or three gene
rations with tho benefits OF schools, then Il
they do not compare with that class, who roll
up Democratic maIorities, IL will be time
to indulge in epithets. WEe1 Mr.. Dean
writes again let him try to learn us some
thing, and not attempt to win US by our
prejudices. q. q.
