There is nothing like success to
revive a political party. This fact
was strikingly illustrated at the
New England dinner at Boston on
JacksOn's Day. A year ago it was
hard work to find fifty Of the un'
terrified who would join dinner IN
celebrating Jackson's victory. This
year over six hundred democrats
were on hand and probably double
that number would have attended
if they could have been provided Tor.
1t was a queer gathering Almost
every man had with his ticket Tor
dinner an application for an Office.
The rural citizen who came down
from Maine and New Hampshire
was the really interesting character
of the assemblage. The railroad
fare and the two dollars and a hall
for the dinner ticket was piece of
remarkable extravaganza for which
the family will probably have to
live on fish for a month. The
speech of Mr.. Edgar A. Apgar at
this feast was remarkable in its

a Fathers Grimes.
From the New York IIerald.l

ALLENTOWN, PA, January 10.
The small frame dwelling Of Lewis
Carl, located near South Bethle-
hem, was the scene Of n brutal
murder last night, by which Carl
stabbed and killed his son Charles,
an inollcnsiye and industrious
young man. All Of yesterday the
elder Carl had been drinking and
was quite abusive. His wife be.
came afraid, and She and a young
lady, named Matilda Relnhard,
undertook to retire. The young
lady went up stairs and when Mrs.
Carl was about to follow the hus.
band commanded her to remain
down stairs. If she wanted to lie
down, he said, she should occupy the
floor. Mrs. Carl, rather than run
any risk Of brutal assault, did as her
husband commanded.
TIE Son STABBED.
IL was about eleven o'clock when
the son, aged twcnty-one, returned
home. lie found his mother lying
on the floor. lie heard his moth
cr's story, and the young man re-
buked his father for his cruel treat
ment. The old man arose without
a word of warning and pushed
against his son. The latter crap
pied with him. The wife and moth
or was about to interfere, when
she suddenly saw her son reel
backward, eXclaiming, Mother,
father has stabbed me . The Old
man, with his bloody knife in hand,
ran out Of the house followed by
the wounded son, leaving a trail Of
blood behind him. The son went
about fifty feet and then dropped
to the ground, and in half an hour
was dead, not having spoken a
word since be told his mother he
had been stabbed.
WHAT WAS rs TIE HALL.
The father remained away I'M
Ill half-past two O'Clock this morn.
ing, VIII en- he stealthily came back
to the house and asked what was
lying in the hall. When told it
was tho body Of his son, murdered by
his own hands. he burst into tears,
and laid down beside the corpse
and slept until seven O'Clock this
morning. lie arose at that hour,
and tour times begged his son-in-
law, John Cope, to shoot him.
C0po.rcfused. Then the murderer
took "a blanket TO 20 to the barn to
attend the horses and stock. After
tina he disappeared. The murder
was done with large p0cketknlle
with a long keen blade. The son
was stabbed in the left side near
the groin. The main artery was
Severed and the victim blcd to
death. The murderer is fOrty-twO
years old, short and stoutly built,
with iron gray hair When sober he
was a pcaceable man. When drank
he was very abusive.
GRIEF or THE BETROTiIED.
The victim was shortly to have
been married to the young woman
living with them. and her grief
over the bloody body Of her intend
cd was hcartrending. Coroner Der
! lin. of Lchlgh county, held an
inoucst. and the evidence develop
Ell the fact that father and son
/ during the week hai had a quarrel
about the ownership OF a cheap
white horse, and that the son was
stabbed while be- was trying to
nut his father back to bed after
their quarrel.
TIE SUICIDE.
DetectiyeS mithorganized Il posse
and searched the mountain for the
fugitive. Ata late hour tonight II
was reported that the body had
been found hanging to a tree IN the
woods near Bethlehem.

The visit of Col. Lamont, Presl-
dent.elect Cleveland's private sec.
rotary, helped very little to clear
up the mysteries pertaining to the
new cabinet. OF Southern aspi-
rants to high place under the new
administration, the most eminent IS
General John b. Gordon, eX-Sena-
tor from Georgia. Strange to say,
Gordon's friends say that the oppo
sition to him is based upon the tine
ory that he was not only a 'Conied-
crate Brigadier,' but in command OF
a wing of Lees army when II sur
rendered at AppOmattoy, and That
he was too prominently Identified
with the fortunes Of the Conicder'
acy. It is to be hoped that no such
plea has been urged. If the ale
CATION be true, it will strike ~ very
peculiar the Confederate soldiers
who recall the Gordon of Cedar
Creek, of Sharpsburg, the front OF
Petersburg and AppomattoX'-
There is still very fixed belief in
well.informed quarters that no cab
met appointment from the South,
save that of Senator Garland, OF
Arkansas, has been finally deter
mined upon. As Attorney-G cner'
al Garland will confer honor upon
his people, and help to give Clevel-
and a capable and popular admin
istration.

Staunion TUginiaR January ~:
At this period Of low prices. 30
single article of daily consumption
has come nearer reaching the rock
bottom than sugar. The memory
OF man rnnneth not back TO the
time when a pound Of sugar would
not command a better price than
today. 1t has been declining year
after year until now it seems that
the figures at which it is retalcd,
scarcely more than represent an
economical cost OF production. a
prime article Of erAnulatcd sugar
can be bought in any OF our retail
stores for 5 cents, and yet even this
gives a fair profit to the dealer 1t
is interesting to note the whole d
sale quotations OF grannlatri sugar
for the past fourteen years, taken
from the December reports Of each
year Ia 1870, l3c; 1871, l2sc;
1872, l2gc; 1873, lO5c; 1874, lOsc;
1878, lOle; 1876, l2sc; 1914 9lc;
1873, SIC; 1879, 9sc; 1880, 9ic; 1881,
9{c; 1882, SIC; 1888, re; 1881, 5,c.
And yet sugar is one OF the pro-
tected articles, and a favorite hobby
with free.traders in their appeals
to the people. As a matter OF
fact it is not cheaper in Free trade
Britain today than in protection
oppressed America. On the other
hand it is declared that the ne.
moyal Of certain duties Oy the
English government has not re-
duccd tho price Of the article 20 the
consumer, but that the effect has
been to throw 10000 workmcn out
Of profitable employment, and de-
stroy the refining industry. II the
abolition of the custom duties,
such rs is contemplated in the
Spanish treaty should prevail, the
effect would be to put am end to
cane culture in the South, and
transfer the immense trade now
supplied by that section TO Cuba
and Porto Rico, without any com
pcnsating benefit to the consumer.
Certainly under existing rates 40
one is oppressed by the price OF
sugar. TO supply the traditional
"sweet tooth " is about as mex
pcnsiye as it can well be, and on
this score none save the producers
have a right to grumblc.

w ASHlNbION, JAN iOi AC'"'
With the reassembling Of Con
gress last week greater expedition
in the business Of lcgisi ton was
expected than has so far Jeen ylsl-
bic. There is no good feeling be-
tween the Senate and the House,
not because of difference IN the po-
litical complexion of the two bodies,
but because of alleged cnorts OF
each branch to enlarge It's own
powers and prerogatives at the eX-
pense of the other. just before the
Christmas recess quito a protracted
snarl was threatened, aud at last
averted only by the good sense and
conservatism of practical men in
both houses, men who like Sherman
in the Senate and Randall in the
House, are always found discard
ing mere sentimentalism in politics
in the interests of practical legisla-
ton. Congressional lethargy al
ways appears to react upon the life
of Washington, and hence the fire.
nuency with which the complaint
of dull times is heard in every
branch of business.

Of Virginia items there have not
been many Of great Importance dur
ing the week ending today. Gov.
Cameron arrived in Washington on
Friday night from a cruise after the
oyster pirates in the Chesapeake
waters. His errand was to secure
efficient armament for the vessel
belonging to the Virginia Navy
upon which he sailed to Washing
ton. Major John w. Daniel Will
deliver an address in the Hall OF
the House of Representatives on the
evening of the 21st Of February,
and TO that extent Virginia has
been recognized in the ceremonies
incidental to the occasion OF the
Inauguration of the Washington
monument. Virginians here con-
stantly assert that Mr.. Barbour will
be invited to be Cleveland s. Post
master General, and these asser-
tons are now more frequent than
they were month ago. The posi-
ton is one of extensive pltronage
and of great political power.
