The 1873 new members of the next
congress have been addressed by
The American Machinist as to their
views upon the tariff question. Its
questions were: "Do You favor n
protective TARIFF" "Do you favor a
general and substantial reduction in
the present tariff" A third question
was asked Of the Democrats: (Which
do you most favor, the Randall or
the Morrison view Of the TARIFF"
Niuety-one replies have been re-
ceived from members in thirty-one
states. OF the sixty five new Repub-
lican members, tiftythree declare
for protection; and of the thirty
eight Democrats who have answered,
twelve favor the Randall or protec.
ton side. Taking the old members,
The Machinist figures up 1877 for
protection in II house of 325. But Of
those who are not cassed as pro-
tectionists, several would not vote for
any immediate large reduction of
the tariff.

Oh Sunday, the Sth inst, the
Inter Ocean published a dispatch
from Milwaukee which reflected
rather severely on the character of
the Wisconsin legislature. In a
more recent date the same paper
editoriaily says: From such inyes
tigaton as we have been able to
make the statement is without toun.
dation. \ gentleman who has been
familiar with the legislative bodies
of Wisconsin tor many years writes
as follows: During all my oxper
fence | can truthtully say there
were never finer set of gentlemen
composing the Wisconsin Senate
than the present members. This
is also true Of the Assembly, Both
houses are above the average. and
Wisconsin has always been noted
for the intelligence and honesty of
its members, at least since the days
Of the forty thieves" 1t is certainly
true that there has been as little
scandal about the Wisconsin Legis-
laturo as any similar body in the
country, and we greatly regret that
The Inter Ocean should have been
betrayed into dong injustice to a
body of estimable and intelligent
gentlemen

AN "lndependent" Republican
newspaper, which supported Cleve
land. declares, notwithstanding his
own assertion that he has kept the
faith" that he "does not belong to
the Democracy Of the past If he
adheres to his civii-service-reform
programme, it will not be generally
admitted that he belongs to any,
kind Of Democracy.

The busy-bodys of the press are
firing themselves all ont telling the
voters who will succeed Gov. Rusk.
Caution sbonld be exercised. The
South is bringing forward its best
and ablest men as in the early days
ofDemocratc control, and the exam
pie having proved a good one why
should Republicans not profit by til!
Two years hence War Governors
like Curtin, Andrews and Kirkwood
may become as useful as men Of

1861.

sits on a chair or en- the floor at your right.
The left is more honorable than the right
in Persia. If of equal rank, he occu-
pies the sofa with you; but II you
are inferior, then the positions are reversed
The upper corner of the room is in any case
the most honorable position. If number
are present of various ranks each one
knows his place at glance. The passing
of refreshments is also matter of undeViat-
ing strictness, the number and quality de'
nendinp upon the time of day and The char
acter of the guest. The kalian, or water
pipe, offers fine opportunity for display
ofPersiau manners. According TO precept
and custom, a Mohammedan cannot smoke
the same pipe with Christian, and, except
on rare occasions when the host is u man OF
progressive views, a separate pipe Is fur,
nished for European visitor. But among
Persians it is the custom for the highest i'll
rank to receive the pipe iiist Offering it to
each in turn before smoking himself, For
an inferior TO accept the otleg Is an iEcredi
BILE ofltrse against good manners. But each
in turn after this ceremony takes few
whiils at the pipe, all taking care 10 eject
the smoke from the bowl before Offering il
to the next. The attendants on such ar
occasion leave their shoes at the door anc
retire backwards. rs. G. ". BcnjGmiR a
