Those Democrats who follow Mr. Morrison
in his attempts to reduce the tariff held a
caucus Monday evening. Mr.. Randall and
his followers were not present; they were
referred to several times, however, though
if we are to believe the reports, it was more
in sorrow than in anger. The object of the
conference was to form plan whereby Mr.
Morrison and his friends may retire
from the tariff fight this session, but
still return to their constituents with
evidence that they have at least remem-
bered the pledges which the Democratic par
ty gave in 1884. A committee was appointed
to report at future meeting. 1t is under
stood that their report will be in the nature
of an address to the country on the subject
of tariff revision. The object of it, of course,
will be to apologize for Mr.. Morrison's de-
feat

The friends of Ireland who hope to see
Gladstone and Parnell prevail in the coming
contest are already awake in this country.
Subscriptions for the parliamentary fund are
pouring lin the American cities; and in Otta
wa it is said that two members of the Domin-

enormous in the United Kingdom, and are

Secretary Whitney has given his opinion

FITZ JOHN PORTER.

The House has done what was cE
pccted of It in the passage Of the Fitz
John Porter bill The Critic is in
clined to take General Grants view of
the case that the proposed legislation
is an act of justice too long deferred.
in the clearing light of intelligent
and unbiased history many events of
the earlier period of the Civil War are
coming TO be better understood than
they were at the time of their occur
renee. The clouds of prejudice and
passion that concealed mems motives
have been gradually dissipated. The
influences that conspired to unmlke
worthy men and bring unworthy men
10 the front, can be read in a much
palmer light to-day than shonc about
them ten, fifteen, twenty years ago.
it is the miracle of all miracles in that
momentous episode of the strife which
finally drove Mcclellan into retirement.
that the Government was saved at all
and that the headquarters of the Con
federacy were not established in the
rotunda of The Capitol
With the feeling that then prevailed
in Washington and continued to pre-
vail until petty politics and personal
rivalries and crafty ambitions were
banished from the army and the dread
realities of war came to be comprc-
hended from high military standpoint,
il was simply impossible that gross in
justices should not be wrought. we
know now what they were.
1t is assumed in the minority report
OF the House committee that General
Porter was tried in due form by the
highest of all military tribunals, when
the evidence was fresh at hand and the
witnesses accessible; that he was found
guilty and dismissed from the army;
that nearly a quarter Of u century later
another tribunal, having no semblancc
of judicial organization, and If IL had,
no jurisdiction in the case, proposes to
undo the work of a lawfully. .constltu-
led court of the last resort, and to re-
store cashicrcd officer TO his original
rank in the army, upon wholly mad
missible and irregular evidence.
This is certainly fair statement of
The minority's position and it is very
plausible statement. Under ordinary
circumstances it would be unanswer
able.
But the circumstances, rs we have
suggested are not Of an ordinary char
actcr. They are such, indeed, that the
very reasons which the minority cite
as reasons why Fitz John Porter should
not be heard, arc the reasons above
others why he should not only be
heard, but eNoncrated.

Druggists who Protest.

EDlTon Critic. 1t seems very unjust that
a warfare should be waged Oh the drug
gists of this city on account of n failure on
their part, as the Collector of Taxes allege,
Of not taking out the special license Of $25
TO enable them to sell liquors by the bottle
This rev move on the part of the authori-
ties is ON account Of the sale of an adver-
tised patent medicine called "Dulfy Malt
Whisky 1t is simply bitters like all ad-
Yertised patent nostrums, and why this
unjust and odious tax is expected staggers
my comprehension. Two thirds of the
druggists do not take out this $25-lcense,
because they do not sell bottled liquors.
On account Of this one article we are asked
in fact almost forced to placard at our place
of business the sign of retail liquor dealer.
This article comes under the head Of regu-
lar advertised patent medlcinet and no extra
tax can be imposed. 1t is only necessary
for the druggists to resist this attempt to
extort from them this extra tax, and they
will be successful. VERirAs.

EDITOR CRITIC; Your IDEAS as to the
establishment of permanent Exposition
in Washington are sound and practicable.
THE CRIrIc's head is certainly level on
that subject. You have outlined the only
plan on which the element Of pormauency
can be insured from the outset-that is, to
place the Exposition under the general
control Of the Government and the several
States cooperating in the great work. All
cure favorable action by Congress. The
State and Territorial legislatures will be
prompt to respond. Every good citizen in
the country should constitute himself q

project and press it upon public attention.

a merry lot, in spite Of their mis-
fortunes. Some of them have lost an
arm, some leg, some an arm and leg,
one of them both arms and one both

funny sayings and doings. Go by their
doors any day when they are not busy
and you are liable to find them chatting
each other, passing jokes back and
forth, indulging in the liveliest kind of
sport among themselves. Sometimes
the fun grows fast and furious, and
