goes into effect. The low rate has been in
effect little over week, during which

people took advantage OF it. The SIS rate

The democratic Tarlff BIZ.

The Democratic majority of the ways and
means committee have agreed upon the gen.
eral features of tariff bill. AS we predict
ed. &c by no means follows the line marked
ont in the Presidents message. Instead Oh
being straight like the Presidents, its line is
zigzag and reminds one very forcibly OF the
boundary line of Congressional district in
a State which has been gerrymandered. IL
starts with free trade stralghtness Dyputting
all raw woods on the free list then there il lit
tie angle made by reducing the tariff on sugar
about % per cent The angle is believed to be
big enough to conciliate the people who kick
at the price of sugar, but not SO big as to dis
qruntle the gentlemen down in Louisiana
who raise sugar cane and vote the Democratic
ticket. Then the line runs on straight for
spell. Lumber, salt, and some other less i'm
portant raw materials are put on the free
list. and then comes another good big angle,
big enough to take in North Carolina, Vir-
plnia and Connecticut, made by putting man
ufactured tobacco on the free list This is
directly contrary to the Presidents advice,
lint the Democracy of the States mentioned
hecame so obstreperous that it had TO be
done. II Is not quite settled yet whether
there shall be another angle to keep coal pro
tected for the benefit of the Presidents Penn
sylvania constituents. Some of the mem
bers, influenced, no doubt, largely by the
nearness Of the Presidential election, think
it will be well to throw this sop to Mr.. Ran
dali, while others are in favor Of giving him
no quarter and letting him do his worst.
There is to be some reduction on cotton goods
and on steel rails, and few unimportant
chemicals are to be put upon the free list.
The bill is manifestly a compromise and
the free traders have frequently surrendered
important points with view to getting votes
enough to pass it. BY removing the tax on
tobacco they think they have made North
Carolina and Virginia solid for the bill, with
little regard to whatever else 1t may contain
and they are probably right. But it is by no
means clear that even with the concessions in
the way of brides the freetraders have made to
various interests they can put the bill through
the House. The votes of very few, If any,
Republicans can be got for the bill, because,

will inflict fatal blow to the protective sys-

The Western farmers who took coal from
railroad trains to prevent themselves and
families from freezing during the recent
blizzard afforded remarkable instance OF
theft, justifable theft as most will agree.
A still more remarkable instance, for which
there seems to be neither justification nor
reason, has occurred at the small Ohio town
of cambridge. At that place carload OF
coal would at times disappear in single
night, and the populations became so extern
siye that the railroad company employed de-
tectives to unearth the thieves. The re-
suit has been the arrest of 10 prominent cit
liens of cambridge, including the
marshal, hotel proprietor and Presbyterian
preacher. Half the citizens of the town are
said to be implicated, and it is suspected
that the other half are not wholly innocent as
not a single carload of coal has been billed to
a resident of the town this winter. There was
no necessity to justify the people of Balm
bridge; and it seems hardly possible that
half the people Of an Ohio town, and espec-
tally the half containing the most prominent
citizens, should be thieves. 1t must be that
they were suffering from some mental
troubles that made them kleptomaniaes.
The kangaroo jumps Of the price of coal
this winter may account for their remarka-
BILE performances. Unless some such char
table explanation is possible, there is no
escape from the conclusion that cambridge
ia Mt least half as bad as the city that Lot fled
from

Sneezing Catarrh.

The distressing sneeze, sneeze, sneeze, the ac-
rid, watery discharges from the eyes and nose, the
painful inflammation extending to the throat, the
swelling of the mucous lining, causing choking
sensations cough, ringing noises in the head and
splitting headaches,-how familiar these symp-
toms are to thousands who suffer periodically
from head colds or influenza, and who live in ig-
norance of the fact that single application OF
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE FOR CATARRH VIII
afford instantaneous relief.
But this treatment in cases of simple Catarrh
gives but faint idea Of what this remedy will do
In the chronic forms, where the breathing Is OBJ
structed by choking, putrid mucous accumula-
tons, the hearing affected, smell and taste gone,
throat liberated and hacking cough gradually
fastening itself upon the debitated system. Then
1t is that the marvellous curative power OF SAN
FoRD's RADICAL CURE manifests itself in instan-
taneous and grateful relief. Cure begins from the
first application 1t is rapid radical, permanent,
economical, safe.

The Charleston News and Courier, which
used to preach that slavery was good thing
for the negroes, now tries to prevent the pro-
posed exodus to Brazil by holding up slavery
as the great bugaboo of that country, telling
the prospective emigrants that slaves are
worth three hundred dollars each in Brazil,
and that the colored people from the United
States who go there are likely to be sold into
slavery. This of course is story manufac-
tured for purpose. as it is well known that
Brazil is getting rid of its slaves as fast as
possible. But it shows how anxious the peo-
pie of the South are to keep the negroes
with them, and suggests the hope that peo-
pie so useful to their Write neighbors, may
in time be accorded freely all their rights.

Apparently the fishery commission is
about to disband in disgust. 1t is generally
agreed that absolutely no progress has been
made toward settlement and that there is
no better prospect of an arrangement being
made than when the conference began.
Canada continues stiff in her demands and
the United States firm in its refusal of them,
while the British commissioners, who appar-
entity would like to compel Canada to come to
terms, dare not do it for fear of the bad feel
ing it would create among the people OF the
province against the mother country and the
bad predicament in which it would place the
Macdonald government. The forelorn hope
that Congress might put fish upon the free
list is gone, and there is really nothing left
now for the commission to do but to 60 to.

As the books are not balanced or the charges

one, it is hardly to be supposed that he had
many guests to drink his liquor This evil
dence is well nigh conclusive that he was
but little better than common drunkard.
Another point established by this discovery,
is that Arnold had no more scruples about
cheating his store keeper out of his just dues
than he had about betraying his country.
However brave in battle, he was destitute OF
patriotism and private honor alike. After
the lapse of more than a hundred years a

personal habits and lack of personal honor.
1t cannot be said that he was poor and I'M
able to pay his bills, for we know tha6 he re-

His lack of conscience showed itself in the
small affairs of life as well as the more mo

me how he could have sought his. trade or

Benedict Arnold Drunkard and Dead

Letter 10 tine btlIdSI ABe.1
The landlady of the hotel where an now
stopping is lineal descendant Of Dol. John
Allen, one of the most noted ofrevolutionary
heroes. After the war closed, Col. Allen
settled upon the island of Campobello, just
across the New Brunswick line, where he
entered into trade. Among the residents of
the island was Gen Benedict Arnold, the trail
tor. After the capture Of Major Andre, near
West Point, Arnold took refuge on the war
ship "Vulture," and shortly after sailed for
England. At the close of the revolution,
finding himself heartily detested by even the
English whom he sought to serve. Arnold
returned to New Brunswick and for several
years was engaged in the business of ship
building at Campobello. Here he lived a
neighbor to his former comrade in arms.
Among the effects Of Col. Allen, now in pos
session of Mrs. ID. w. Smith. of this village
is the "Day Book" used in his Campobello
store. To beguile the tedium of stormy,
day, Mrs. Smith brought the book in ques-
tion to my room as a curiosity of revolution
airy times. 1t bears date from 1888 to 1898,
covering space Of ten years. The writing
is in a clear and beautiful hand and is still

The Democratic leaders of New Hampshire
met in council in Concord last week. 1t was
not, according to reliable accounts,a pleasant
time for the old war horses like Harry Bing-
ham, John III. Pearson and John II. George.
Mr.. Frank Jones, of Portsmouth, who
divides his time between the interests of the
Boston & Maine railroad the management
Of the Portsmouth breweries and the con-
troll of Grover Cleveland's forces in North
Eastern New England. reached out for the
reins of theparty team with better luck than
he had when he reached after the scalp Of
the Concord railroad people last summer. 1t
is understood that Mr.. Jones will be presi-
dent of the Grover Cleveland Democratic
corporation of New Hampshire this year,
and that Messrs. Sulloway and Sanborn will
be on the board of directors. The Ports
mouth Chronicle says that Mr.. Jones will
''name the delegates to the national conven-
ton, review and reform the Democratic
State committee, and see to it that in the
State conventions the president is endorsed
to the fullest extent" The Democratic
voters of New Hampshire, it will thus be
seen, are to be relieved Of all trouble and
perplexity over political affairs, and all will
be as pleasant as midsummer nights

The periodical war scares in Europe have
come to be looked upon in the light of cries
of wolf, raised for purpose by interested
persons such as stock brokers and newspa-
per correspondents. But that there is rea-
son. abundant reason, for these periodical
scares is proved beyond doubt by the extra
ordinary efforts which Germany, the great
peace keeping nation, is continually making.
The enormous cost of the work provided for
by the German military bill, as well as the
gigantic results contemplated by the meas
ure, has completely astounded the English
press as their articles commenting thereon
plainly indicate. The st. James's Gazette
thinks il incredible that such demand as
the bill enforees should be made upon the
people If the projectors of the measure be-
lieved in the continuance of peace. The
abest English journals express the view
that the drafts made upon the resources of
Germany for military purposes are more
tnan the country can stand, and predict
national bankruptcy. 1t is coming rapidly
to the point where the Germans at home can
not produce enough to support themselves
and the Germans who are in the army too.
