MIR. RANDALL's TARIFF BILL.

The Randall Tariff bill is q strange
combination of elements generally
thought to be directly conflicting. If
Mr.. Morrison's bill was !chargeable with
being destitute of policy" or "princi.
ple," Mr.. Randall has certainly es.
capped such criticism by combining as
great number of theories as possible.
The Randall bill is more suggestive
than practical There is much in 1t
that could not possibly pass either
House; some things that would lead to
serious complications and difficulties,
and many things that would be useful
and beneficial to the Executive service
and the interests involved.
The Randall bill represents an i'm.
mense amount of study, technical
knowledge and research, and affords a
great field for thought to any intelli-
gent and sincere friend of tariff reyis.
ion. The author has probably con
tributed very little to the tariff legisla-
tjon of the near future, but very much
to its thought and knowledge. His
bill contains scores of provisions based
upon ideas to which tarilf.tinkers of all
schools, extremists and theorists Of all
kinds can well afford to give respectful
consideration.
Without reference to any of the in.
Vulnerable questions in dispute there
is one portion of the pending tariff
bills which demands consideration at
this session. The present Administra-
tion finds in the existing customs laws
difficulties, complications and am
biguities which 1t says lead to all sorts
of abuses and fraud, give the dishonest
advantages over the honest, involve

o VIRGO MARIA.


Out IN the dark, and mist and cold,
heard a voice In the city street,
Chanting low, as from tlute of gold,
Notes so strangely sad and sweet;
Sobblng and singing, singing and sobbing:
MARIA, mother hear thy child,
Shield and keep her undefled;
Look, o look from heaven, pray;
Light and guide her on her way
dulcis Virgo Maria ~
Into the darkness the singer goes,
And like a bird In its airy fight
The music trembles, then swells and flows
Until II echoes upon the night;
Sobbing and singing, singing and sobbing:
Maria, mother, hear thy child,
Shield and keep her undedled,
Look, o look from heaven, pray;
Light and guide her on her way.
o dulcis Virgo Marla"
Afar in the distance the music floats,
TIL II dies away In the mist aud rain.
| have but dream of the solemn notes,
And watch and wait for the voice In vain;
Sobbing and singing singing and sobblng;
maria, mother, hear thy child,
Shield and keep her undefled;
Look, o look from heaven, pray;
Light and guide her on her way.
o dulcis Virgo Maria"

it mentions no names and makes no

There are honest judges in the magis-

The Internal Machine.

CHICAGO, January 1.-The Internal
machine that policeman took into the
Hanson street station yesterday morn
ing, was subsequently taken and care
fully dropped into the river from the
Hanson street bridge. The employees OF
the Chicago, Burlington Il Quincy rail
road office say that boy left the ma
chine there about week ago, and that
since than it has passed from room to
room until night before last when tel
egraph operator who, suspected its
nature, handed it to a policeman. 1t
weighed about three quarters of a
pound, was cylindrical in form and was
sealed at both ends. A small wire pro-
truded about half N inch from one end
of the machine. Captain Buckley did
not like the machines appearance and
ordered 1t to be thrown into the river.
One of the electricians of the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy railway called at
the station last night and made inquiry
regarding it. Upon learning that it had
been thrown into the river. he said. he
would fish it out and take il. to pieces.
He was given the exact locality where
it was thrown and will try to lind 1t to-

A Heavy Sentence.


CHICAGO, January "A great crowd
streamed into Judge Shepard's court
this morning to hear the sentence passed
upon Cornelius, alias PIGGY O'Leary,
the brutal murderer of his mistress and
his sister, The prisoner, accompanied
by two bailiffs, walked into the court
room with firm step. As he glanced
about over the crowds of spectators, he
did not finch, and took his seat in a
quiet manner. Among those present
10 listen to the prisoners fate were his
father, mother and sister, who took
lively interest in the proceedings. The
sentencing of the prisoner took but
short time. In the first place Judge
Shepard reviewed the circumstances OF
the crime as given by the witnesses.
He remarked that in his opinion,
O'Leary's crime was murder, though
he was indicted for both murder and
manslsughter. He had killed his
victims without much provocation, but
owing to his drunkenscondition at the
time of the murder, the court was in
clined to believe that the crime did not
warrant him IN pronouncing the
extreme penalty. The court then
sentenced him to forty years, which
viii be reduced to twenty years on
good behavior. I.. b5t

LANSING, Iowa. January 2.-It is au-

near the village of Spring Grove, Hous-

a large number Of cases ofleprosy. The
afflicted persons are all Scandinavians.
The first case which appeared was upon
the person of an old man, and was al
first thought TO be measles, as red
spots appeared all over his body. La
ter he was seized with excruciating
pains in his limbs, and the extremities
began TO wither. This continued and the
epidermis began to scale off and now
there is but a semblance of skin over
the body, which retains its flesh, but the
limbs have withered and dried until the
fingers and toes seem like sticks and
seem ready to drop off. This disease
also exists in three other families, al
related. Physicians from DEBORAH say
that it is imported and perhaps conta-

Is 1T A FACT?
If So it is Worth Recording.

Editor Morning NelcS: l was seated be-
tween two windows from which saw the
Wesleyan Methodist church on Drayton
street on Tuesday. | was reading by a
drop light on my right, and small clock
suspended on my left. Suddenly the drop
light began to shake. the gas flared up
and sputtered violently enough to attract
my attention from my book, and cast nv
eye on the clock. | heard the familiar
sound OF a heavy wagon passing up the
street, as supposed, and just as | saw
the second hand jerking under the minute
hand, which pointed the half hour, the
roar increased, and, as it reached its
height, heard a snap towards the
church. l rose to my feet and in
stinctlvely looked at the clock, not
intentionally, but from the force of
habit when going to bed. l did not see
the second hand, but turned at the snap
towards the church to receive the impress
sion of faint light along the ridge of the
root. say impression, because with the
recOil of the earthquake and the grinding
OF the bricks, attention to the details OF
the phenomena and the recollection of the
sleeping ones below, all coming at once
into the space OF thirty seconds, ] couldn't
stop to theorize beyond observing the
wave like motion of the vibration and the
Quivering of the floor.
l walked to Harris street to see how
things stood there, returned home, shut
my blinds. cast my eyes on
the church and went to bed
and fell asleep at once. Next morning
when got up l looked at the church and
saw the states along the ridge Of tho roof
deranged, some states out of place and
two or three down in the gutter. | after
ward heard that come had felt a shock
like thatof an electric current. l then
recollected my fancied light along the
ridge of the church, and write this to
know if others had any such experience.
The fatal effects OF the slmoom of Sahara
are attributed TO electricity produced by
the friction of the rolling sands, and am
disposed to attribute the appearances OF
my drop light and Of the church roof To
the electricity due to the friction of the
sand underlying this city. Whatever
may be the solution of this, one thing |
am certain Of, viz: The roar and the
wave did not last more than thirty-fve
seconds. Y. W.
