TARIFF,

Congress soon meets. 1t is a
Democratic Congress as to the House,
the Senate is Republican. For
years every Democratic platform has
had as a special feature q plank of
tariff reform. The Administration
this year is the first Democratic one
that has been since the war. Demo.
Gratis in their platforms and especial.
~ in the platform upon which the
present Administration was elected
have pledged the party to give the
people a revision Of the tariff. The
people expect complete reform OF
the present tariff system. No doubt
an effort, and successful one too,
will be made by the Democrats of
the House to revise the tariff.
And no doubt radical changes
will be made in it. but to do this the
tariff reformers should have the hear
ty cooperation of the Administra-
ton. Cleveland will soon send his
Message to Congress and We sup>
pose, he will in that message fully
set fourth the views Of the Demo-
Gratis of the country. The pretec-
tive tariff men, since they see the
invitable tariff reform and succumb-
ing to it, or at least large part of
them have recently come to the con-
clasion that deep revision Of the
tariff is necessary. So, doubtless
this winter high tariff will be blotted
out and thus one of the highest aims
of the Democratic party will be &C
oomplished. Remember however
that Republican Senate stands IN
the way Of all this.

Mr.. Cleveland appointed Henry
Ward Beecher's son to a collector
ship he appointed Carl Schurz's
brother>in-law to a consul>general:
ship; and at the suggestion Of Mr..
Curtis-he removed a good officer to
appoint Mr.. Burt. And in the face
Of this, he declares men must not be
rewarded for party service. Good
ness, gracious, how Henry Ward
Beecher, Carl Schurz. and Curtis
worked to elect Cleveland
But Cleveland did not appoint
these fellows, because these men
worked for him. Oh no, certainly
not. They were appointed from the
highest motives of disinterested pa.
triotism. II these three lords of
mugwumpism had worked and voted
for Jim Blaine, they would have
been appointed all the same. But
who believes ita May be some cdi-
tor believes it but not this one.

The Cabinet officers are also Sc
GLIDING themselves as much as pos>
sible for the purpose Of preparing
their annual reports. It is certain
that the administration will take
very positive grounds On financial
questions. Mr.. Manning, and the
new U. S. Treasurer, Mr.. Jordan,
will recommend in their reports the
suspension of silver coinage. Mr..
Jordan expects to show in his re-
port that S45, 5000, 900 have already
been lost in the attempt to force
silver into circulation. 1t is held
that it is not good financiering to
reduce the National debt which
bears interest of only three percent.
when the current rate is six per-
cent.
Treasurer Jordan is q man of
very pronounced views, and has a
very plain way Of stating them.
He says if Thrman had stuck to the
greenback, he would now be
President Of the UnitedStates'
Senator Sherman, Mr.. Jor-
dan declares, would not dare to
make such q statement on the floor
of the Senate as he made in his
Petersburg speech. II he were to
advise such thing in the Senate
as the application of silver curren-
cy to the liquidation Of the public
debt, It would kin him forever, po-
litical1y, and send him back to pr.
vate life like Thurman was sent
back when he changed his base on
finance. Sherman, he says, blames
the administration for not doing q
thing which he himself would not
dare to advocate.

MCCLELLAN DEAD.

MCLELLAN UEAD.
George B, Nc Clellan passed
across the river of death last Wednes-
day. and in his death the country lost
the grandest union soldier produced
during the late war on the Federal
side. His genius and skill as q sol.
der and as an organizer had no equal
in the North and but few superiors
if any, in the South. His campaign
around Richmond, while he failed to
capture the confederate citadel did
more to conquer and subdue theSouth
than any. other campaign during the
war. His route was the key 10 the heart
of the confederacy and the Identical
line on which Grant at last broke
through the she'll of the South and
gained the crown of glory which he
so unworthily wore. The South lost
in the seven days fight around Rich>
mond the flower and backbone of her
army. At that. time the southern
Army had in its ranks $4,000 thou
sand men from the best blood of the
South, and each man was q hero
fighting from stern sense Of duty
Eighty thousand such men never be-
fore nor since stood in battle array
nor did any general on the Federal
side ever meet in battle, such patri-
otism, enthusiasm, chivalry, and des-
perate fighters as Nc C]ellsn met in
his struggle around Richmond. We
don't believe any other general on this
continent could have extricated the
Northern Army from its position.
Nothing but superior military gen.
ius, management and the most des>
perate fighting could have saved his
army from complete humiliation.
The south must have lost in killed
and wounded not less than IS or 40
thousand men.
She never recovered from the fatal
blows given her by George Nc Clel-
Ian. :
He killed and wounded more men
in seven days than Grant killed and
wounded in twelve months to reach
the identical spot Nc Clellan reached
without the loss of one thousand
men and if the south had had the
army that opposed Mcclellan
Grant would have been driven tc
Yorktown or Fortress Monroe with
in three days from the time he struck
the cbicko hominy.
Unfortunately for his reputation
he was Democrat and never surren-
ed or subordinated his principles
like Grant and others, to suit the
times and the men in power-there-
fore he remained under a cloud Of
suspicion during the war and ever
since. We mean of course by the Re
publican party, the controlling power
in this country for the. last twenty
five years. Mcclellan combined
the qualities Of a wise statesman
with those of a great general. He
possessed this advantage over mos
military chieftains and had he sur
rendered his honor and his manhood
together with the principle.
Of the democracy of the coun
try he would have ranked frs
in war and first in peace. Blu

we have nothing to say. If through

inexcusable. Our name is plain
on this sheet. The Chronicle judges
from the advertisement, which is Also
in this ISSUE; you read it; and you
will see that it also tells who is the

porary have made its mistake? Such
carelessness, if it IS that, should not
be expected from journalist who
has been recently so much praised.
for the journalistic qualities which
he truly possesses. But say our nalGe
was not on the DEMOCRAT at all
now, could our friend even then be
ignorant? No, for in Our issue of
Sept.3 we made correction especial

time was the present editor of the

Adoance having made a somewhat
similar remark to the above taken
from the Chronicle. @'"'f 'r-
We are no Ex-C Congressman. We
have never seen the pencil driver Of
the Chronicle, but because we are
personally unknown to him, and be.
cause he does know a W. H. Kitchin,
from this place, still, when our name
is plain on every paper, when even
the advertisement referred to con-
tains the necessary information and
when we have before directly cor
rected such a mistake for him, should
he make such a remark and then at
tribute it to ignorance, to a mistake,
and to pure carelessness, or should
it be attributed to q reckless hand
ling of non-existing things and to
meanness. We must say that it
seems str ange to us, and What mo-

We are patient, and we do not think
Capt. Kitchia desires to become an
editor and surely no circumstance
whatever could have caused the

Our patience with such remarks as
the above is we'll nigh exhausted
since the remarks come from so near>
ly the same source every time.
An apology is due our readers for
noticing this. We do not care a
cent about it as far is concerns Capt.
Kitchln or the DEMOCRAT or ours
self. Of course it matters not as
to US but the past corrections, and
the present circumstances and SINH

fully understand this should have
read closely the DsMocRAr, and the

If We have misinterpreted our

What is Castoria.

Castoria is DR.. Samuel Pitchers prescription
for Infants and Children. Its purpose is to
regulate the stomach and bowels. II does this
by thoroughly assimilating the food, preventing
collie and constipation, and keeping open the
pores Of the skin. This is necessary. Nearly
quarter of our children die before they are
two years old, and one half before they are fif.
teen. Nature did not so intend it. Improper
food and neglect of bathing make most all chill.
dren sick at times. They must have relief from
symptoms indicated by Hatulency, vomiting
purging, levers and constipation. The formula
Of Castoria is published. Liberal physician.
everywhere now agree that it will now accom-
plish this end Cas- toria is harmless; it doe.
not contain particle OF morphine or other mar
cotic substance. Paregoric, Bateman's Drops
soothing syrups and all other medicines fo
children, contain opium in some form. Casio
ria has been in use over thirty years and during
that time has carried hope into more homes
prevented more protracted sicknesses and re
duced the APPALLING death rate among infant
and children to greater extent than all othe

Whem .n The Hrong CaasneI

The bile wreaks grevious injury. Headaches,
constipation, pain in the liver and stomach
jaundice, nausea ensue. A few doses Of Hos
letters Stomach Bitters will reform these evils
and prevent further injury. 1t is pleasant
aperient, Its action upon the bowels being
unaccompanied by gripping. The liver is both
regulated and stimulated by it, and as it is
very impolitic to disregard disorder of that or.
gan, which through neglect may eminate in
dangerous congestion and hepatic abscess, the
Bitters should be resorted to at an early stage.
Failure to do this renders contest with the
malady more protracted. Fever and ague,
rheumatism, kidney and bladder troubles, are
remedied by this fine medicine, and the in.
firnlities Of age miiigated BY it. 1t may be
also used in convalesence with advantage, as
it hastens the restoration Of vigor.
