TARIFF LITERATURE.

lican cry that the Democratic party wa
afraid of the tariff no longer has any
force. At the National Committee:
headquarters active preparations are
being made for the distribution of al
the tariff literature that the most
cautious critic could desire to see placed
in circulation. This is largely due to
the efforts of Speaker Carlisle, who is
really the head and front of the intel
Iectual portion of the campaign. He
has from the first been strong advo-
cate of the necessity for carrying the
tariff fight into the States of New York,
and Connecticut, and will have the
pleasure of carrying out portion of
his own programme, for he has prom
ised to speak in all of those States be-
fore the eventful November day shall roll
around. Mr.. Carlisle has consulted with
the committee several times, going to
New York for that purpose, and the
free interchange of opinions has
resulted in determination that will
puzzle the Republican leaders very
considerably. Heretofore the Demo
cratic party has avoided tariff discus
sion in Presidential campaigns, but
now the issue is clear ard the fight will
be waged on the issue and not on the
individuals who for the novice repre-
sent the two great parties. The politi-
cal atmosphere is becoming more
healthful.
A NUISANCE.
The family at the White House have
for q long time noticed the nuisance
that issues from the chimneys of the
United States Treasury building. The
nuisance-smoke-i like unto that
which caused Pittsburg to be named the
Smoky City" Thinking perhaps that
the use Of soft coal was a govern ment
necessity so far as the Treasury was
concerned, the President has hereto
fore refrained from making any public
comment upon the fact that when the
wind is in certain direction the SCOT |
deposits itself just where it is least
wanted, and the Presidents wardrobe
has suffered considerably thereby. |
Finding, however, the only reason for
the use Of such coal lay in its cheap
ness, the President MADE his little com
plant and was notified that the
nuisance would Immediately cease. It
will cost the department about 5000
more per annum to run itself with hard
coal, but the White House will not be
with scot, nor will the front of
the department be so begrimed with
coal smoke that the stranger within
our gates may ind II.
4 CHANGE OF PLANS.
There has been change in the plans
Of one young woman in Washington,
whose summer campaign is likely to
have lost its snap and brilIiancy through
2 foolish move, wholly unworthy 81
skilled and veteran :. --'FiY
m the season the yonDg woman nd@-
aered among her fast friends certain
we'll = known society woman with
iashing military looking husband on
whose movements she does not keep
diia;ory lookout. The friendship wa1ed 4
strong and ardent. and il an enthnsi
astic outburst was decided, for the
happiness of all. that the young woman
would spend the season with Eer friends s
at their elegant summer residence. J
Suddenly, like a Jhunderbolt, from a
clear sky, sthe friendship was shat

As may be imagined, gossip was rife I
in the matter and it was not long
before it began to be whispered that the J
cause of the disagreement was deli
note from the young
woman which madam had found in her
husbands coat pocket, addressed to 1
him at the club. Instances of this de-
II this moral city, could be
but this one example in
which the characters were thoroughly
we!l-known, will be sufficient to show
how some of our legislators live.
DELEGATE DUBOIS.
Of course, you know by this time how
Delegate Dubois, of Idaho, distin-
guished himself in thu House of Repre-
sentatives yesterday. Re introduced a
resolution calling on the Attorney
General to furnish to the House list of
pardons granted by the President since
March 4, 1884, to persons convicted of
unlawful cohabitalion in Utah and
Idaho, giving names, date of convIc-
ton, length of sentence and date of
pardon. Dubois said last night that
there have been too many pardons; that
the law was being neutralizsd by 1.-THE {
fat man in the White House." as he
vuIgarly denominated MIR. Cleveland
Prominent members of the Republican
party are surprised at Dubois action
and have criticized very freely the mo-
tives which led him to attempt to bull
doze the President when that gentle
man is moved to be just and merciful
TO some OF those unfortunates who were
stricken by over-zealous Federal off
Gals who pondered to deprayed
public sentiment in the East.
REPRESENTATIVE BROWN,
of Indiana, has very high opinion of
the qualifications of his colleague, Gen.
eral Hovey, for the position of cover
nor, and especially of his drawing qua |.
ties as candidate.
