The Young Mems Democratic Club Of
Massachusetts having put forth platform
declaring that mo reductions should be made
in the duties on internal revenue taxes on
spirits, tobacco and other Injuries. so long
as any duties are maintained on the crude
materials of manufacture or any exorbitant
duty on the products of manufactures" are
taken to task by the old liners Of their party
for promulgating un-Democratic doctrine.
The old liners seem to be right, too. Was it
not jefferson, the father of Democracy. who
said that IAN internal tax is an internal
tax"

Connecticut has been from time immemo-
rial the land of steady habits. An injunc-
tion just issued by the Superior court at
Middletown shows that the law officers of
the State may be relied upon to
maintain its ancient fame. In a
case involving the rights Of two ten
ants who occupy the same house, the court
eDjoins that "a screeching parrot must not
be hung under the compliments dining

DR.. Galinger of New Hampshire predicts
that the speakership will fall to Mr.. Reed.
"He isl observes the New Hampshire con-
gresham, 'the real Republican leader Of the
House; we voted for him when we were in
the minority, and we will vote for him now
that we are in the majority"
The Portland daily press., 1888-12-24

The despatch announcing the arrival of
Stanley with Emin upon the Aruwhimi was
evidently premature. But it seems to be
pretty well settled that Osman Digna's story
of Stanley's capture was pure romance, con-
cocted for the purpose of inducing the Eng
fish to abandon Suakim.

The remarks of Gen. Harrison to Con-

from home affairs. Much against his in
clinstion he embarked on still more am
bilious scheme and prepared to obtain
supremacy in Germany by force of arms.
Early in 1855 the scheme was ripe for eX-
ecution. A treaty Of allisnCe was con-
Cluded with Italy, an ultlmSlum sent to
Austria, and an immense army set in

There are now pending against the gov

committed by the Indians.
These clSims are generally Just. Tney
have been due >nd unp5id for many
years. For the first time the House OF
Representatives has provided for COM
mIttee whose sole duty it will be to eR9
anime these claims and to recommend
the passage Of some measure looking to

Governor W. Throckmorton, whoee

and have to earnestly advise all claim
ants throughout the district to immediate
ly communicate with him. We are very
anxious thst this mstteT, long unsettled,
should be brought to = successful close,
and that no claimant whose account is
Just should be left cut.
By considering Ill Of the claims, to-
gether at the same time, it is quite GER
tain that something csn be accomplished.
II acted upon separately oy Congress, the
time of final payment will be remote, in
deed, and msny lust claims will be left
uupr0vided for.
Ihsve, therefore, to request that the
Statesman and all other papers through
out this district will publish this CON-
muuication, so that those interested may
be advised as soon as possible. This l&.
ter is written in answer to very many LEI
tiers of inquiry which have already re-
