The decent Democrats of Maryland, though
beaten at the last election, have succeeded
in retiring the notorious Higgins. for good it
is to be hoped. Higgins left his place in
Washington on the understanding that he
should be made clerk of the Maryland House
of Delegates. The Democratic bosses were
true to their word, and secured him the
nomination in the party caucus. But the
reform Democrats gave notice that they
should not be bound by the caucus, and
Higgins, to avoid defeat, withdrew. For
the first time in three years, he had found
himself where Grover Cleveland could not
helm him.

Some Of the Boston papers are vigorously
discussing the transactions of the officers of
the Saco and Biddeford Savings Associa-
ton with McNeally, and one of them still
holds that the officers are to all intents and
purposes guilty Of compromising felony.
The reluctance, however, of McNeally to
make his appearance ON this side of the line
shows that he at least is far from convinced
that his felony has been compounded, and
he ought to be pretty good judge.

EThe tariff debate has opened promptly in
the Senate, and the House will not be long
in following suit. A thorough exposition of
our industrial policy, as it at present exists.
and disclosure of the plans of the so-called
revenue reformers will do an immense
amount of good to the Republican party.

Republican primaries recently held in the
parishes of Louisiana were so large and
enthusiastic that, considered with signs of a
Republican revival in other parts of the
State, they have seriously disturbed leading
Democrats Of the State. The bitter faction
al fight In the Democratic party of Louisiana
has created discomfort that has not been
composed by Mr.. Cleveland's free trade mes
sage. 1t is true that Mr. Cleveland said
nothing about sugar; but his omission Of
such mention was so significant that it prob
ably did the cause or the sugar planters more
harm than good.

A Gable Road Incident.
TaCauseur' in Boston Herald.]

1t was on the cable road in Chicago, last
winter, late one evening Causeur was on
the ''grip car" the sole occupant beside the
man who managed the grip and brake. A
Chinaman with package Of laundry got on
and manifested desire as the car approached
the corner of Twelfth street, of getting off,
standing on the foot board for the purpose.
The driver" ready for joke, let the cable
go, and put the brake on with full force sud
denly. Poor John went heels over head, his
bundle came to pieces, the collars slid one
way, the shirts another and the cuffs third.
He was too much bewildered to be angry.
Raising his head cautiously he exclaimed
what the trouble now? Sitting bloke? p
Only those who have seen the cable can APP
preciate the humor of calling it sitting"

When President Cleveland kept still about
the duty on sugar, in order to please the
Democrats of Louisiana he did not foresee
that it would lead him into trouble with
another clan of his party. A large number
of the merchants of Baltimore, the majority
of them Democrats, and backed by the Balti-
more Sun, the organ of the Germans and
Higginses, have sent to Congress petition
praying that the duty on sugar may be abol-
ished. The document argues the question at

Mr.. Lamar has found a most devoted and

novel argument that it is not high legal at
tainments that fit man for the duties OF a
Supreme judge, but ''the philosophical tenn

1t would be cause Of rejoicing in Port
land if the recommendations made in an
other column by First General Freight
Agent Pennington, of the Grand Trunk
could be carried out. If the differences be-
too great for arbitration, the resulting loss
for Portland will be great, even though other
lines Of steamers may come here. Mr.. Pen
nington points out that it has taken thirty
years to build up the western trade between
Canada and foreign ports ria Portland and
that the breaking up of it this winter means
the diversion to other roads Of large traffic
which it may take years to recover.

The election at Winchester, England, yes
terday, was another of those 'bye elections"
In which the Gladstonians have recently
made such encouraging gains. Winchester
is an old cathedral town, and therefore en-
joys an importance which would not be given
1t by its twenty hundred electors. In
1856 the Tories carried it by some over three
hundred votes. During this canvass the
issue has been squarely drawn between home
rule and coercion. The Dean and all the
Cathedral Clergy have, as the saying is in
America, pulled off their coats" for the
home rule cause, and the Dean himself has
entertained the Irish orator Dillon, who has
been stumping Winchester.

At the same time that the newspapers of
the lusty West are parading the figures Of
many places that measure the growth Of
their cities, the Charleston Is. c. News and
Courier modestly presents some statistics
which are even more interesting than those
from the West. These figures are contained
In the record of South Cardinals develop
ment for the year 1887. In the year 1860, the
last before the war and in the heyday of
slavery, the revenue of the people was about
fifty-four and half million dollars. In 1877,
with the slaves liberated and labor free that
revenue was over an hundred and one mil
lions. The last seven years have been the
periods of the greatest strides forward, the
revenue Of the people for 1880 having been
but about seventy-two and half millions,
or upwards of thirty millions less than in
1887 AS good an indication as figures even,
for showing that South Carolina is ON the up
grade is the rapidity with which Charleston
has recovered from the calamities Of the
earthquake.

The Tuscarora mines.

V. G. Bartlett. of the Gem Hotel, re-
turned yesterday from Tuscarora where
he went to celebrate the Fourth. Mr..
Bartlett, who is an old resident of the
Pacific Coast and has spent q great
many years of his life in the mining
camps VI Nevada, is highly pleased with
the outlook of the mines of Tuscarorn
district He visit: ID the North Belle
Isle, the Navajo. the Belle Isle, the
Nevada Queen and the Commonwealth,
and was surprised at the evidences of
the extent aud richness OF the ore
bodies in these several properties. At
the Commonwealth there are 800 tons
of what they call second-grade ore
which IN Averages assay shows to be
worth 5000 per ton, and at the hosting
works there is another lot Of Of 80 tons
which assays 81 900 to the. ton. Next
week the superintendent, Mr.. Coffin,
will commence two weeks run on the
ore, which will produce bullion to tho
value Of 500, 900, and It is confidently
expected that over 81 100000 worth of
bullion will be shipped during the pres
ent year. Mr.. Bartlett brought with
him some valuable speciment of the ore
which is being taken from these mines,
and he expresses the Arm belief that
ruscarora is now the best mining camp
on the Pacific Const.
There is little doubt that Tuscsrora
is on the eve OF season of prosperity
equal to that which characterized the
Comstock in its palmest days, and the
various mining companies are to be con.
graduated on the fattering prospect Of
the several mines of Tuscarora Mining
District, whose prosperity is identical
with the welfare of Elko county.
