A FOrlorn Revolt.

II there is anything in signs, Mr.. ClevG.
about these days. He may vainly inquire
the cause. for Right Bower Lamont and
Grand Vizer Scott will doubtless think it
best to conceal from him the little cloud
no bigger than mans hand-that darkens
spot on the reelection perspective.
Nevertheless, II ia there, with its flashes Of
lightning and discordant thunder, growing
sharper and louder as the year grows older.
Two months ago 1t was impossible to de.
tect the feeblest revolt against the des.
potism which grips the Democratic party.
Mr.. Cleyeland's denomination on Mr.. Cleye-
lands platform was as fixed as the 1rma-
ment. Then came the Presidents bull
against protection. 1t provoked moderate
criticism, but sufficient to warn the des.
potism that discipline must be maintained
at all hazards The ofliceholders were
marshaled for the work. Randall was dis
cipllned. Hill saved himself only by the
use OF great state machine against the
federal spoils. The provocation Of the free
trade message was intensified 10 the use OF
the civil service to fasteu the ruling spirit
intermInably upon the Democratic party.
TINS was too much even for Democratic
patience. II has aroused new assaults upon
the free trade platform, and these have
gradually developed into open revolt against
the despotic will which demands silent
acquiesCence In a second term. The Ran.
dali papers Of Pennsylvania aud the south
beg leave to notify the world that the Dem.
ocratic nomination is not yet determined.
The Kansas Democrat announces that 'even
earlier than It expectedn there has been
developed "a determined opposition to the
denomination Of President Cleveland,u
The Presidents former home organ, the Al.
bany .irGVs, has OF late exhibited an undue
anxiety TO eEtol tue virtues aud avail ability
# Gov. Hiil. Toe Albany Yimc, sums up
the reasons why Mr. Cleveland Is weaker in
New York than he WAS In 1854, and offers
this cruel conundrum: Now, take out the
oillcehOlders Of the administration, and
where do you find the politician willing to
bet on MIR. Cleveland's success, ehOuld he
be renominated fn And, finally, on Sunday
the New York sun, In black head lines,
announces that "things are warming up
very iastn on the discussion OF "why Mr..
Cleveland should not be renomInated."
Ordinarily this would be portentous
threat Of reverse TO an aspiring dynasty.
Aga!nsE despotism which had the fore.

Some Interviews, Perhaps.

The New York World yesterday had what
purported to be an interview with Repre-
sentative Mcmillan, OF Tennessee, who It
says is one Of the most indefatgable of
Chairman Mills's lieutenants.
The subject OF the interview was the
forthcoming revenue bill, which, Mr.. Nc
MILAN says, will be ready to report In about
two weeks.
The following question and answer are a
| part Of the interview:
"Will the bill as reported follow out the line
OF the Presidents recommendations as TO de-
tails?"
~ hardly think that the President went
into details In his recommendations. He saw
the necessity for speedy action, but he left II
to congress TO decide in what specific direo-
tions the effort at reduction should be made"
1t is hardly possible that gentleman OF
Mr.. McMillan's intelligence used any such
Language or said in any way the President
| did not 60 into detail, the fact being that
the President entered into very minute de-
tails as to the manner in which he thought
the revenue laws should be changed.
Again we find the following:
| "Do you anticipate the same degree OF OPP
| position from the protection Democrats when
| your bill reaches the House that has usually
| met measures looking TO tariff reduction"
II see no reason for believing otherwise. In
| past Congresses they have often made speeches
| in favor of revenue reform, but they have
usually voted with Mr.. Kelley"
This answer shows that Mr.. Mcmillan is
not very enthusiastic In his belief that the
| evolution OF Mr.. Mills's coterie will even
pass the House, and in this he is absolutely
| correct.
The World correspondent also sends an
interview with Mr.. Perkins, Republican
member Of the Eouse, whom he styles "NIr.
Reeds Lieutenant - and has him cay:
"The Republican policy is that of protection,
and sny substitute that the minority of the
ways and means may offer will adhere strictly
TO the principle of protection. Among some of
the features OF the substitute will be free
sugar, tree tobacco free alcohol for the use of
the arts and sciences, and possibly free sat
and lumber. We will favor bounty to sugar
planters, which will have the effect Of stimu-
la,ing that industry"
Mr.. Perkins is of the opinion that, while the
country will hold the Democratic party re.
sponsible for any and all tarif legislation each
| member will have TO answer to his constitu-
ents for his individual vote on the tariff bill.
Mr.. Perkins gives tolerably fair outline
OF the Republican idea, and is correct in
saying that the country will hold the Dem
ocratic party responsible for failure to
amend the revenue laws.

sight to provide in advance against such
feeble revolts this exhibition Of independ-
ence has no terors. The rebels should be
warned at once while there is yet time TO
stand from under. In every revolving COM
munity civil service reform will rally the
ofllceholders to pernicious activity, and all
opposition will he crushed. The sage Of
Oak View has decreed his denomination and
arranged the wires to insure It.. He will
grasp 1t. Democratic critics will take mo-
tlce that they are but inviting his future re-
sentiment. They are kicking against the
pricks.
They will not, however, be warned. They
will continue to kick and make things
lively. The best feature Of II is they will
furnish solid reasons why Mr.. Cleveland
cannot be reelected and at the same time
fail to show how any other Democrat can
do better.
BY Its own estimation Democracy is d.
vlded and doomed.

Uncle Sammy Randall Wears the Bell


The debate In the House yesterday indi-
Gated that the resolution introduced few
days since by Mr.. Richardson, OF Tennes-
see, inquiring what occasloned the delay
In the delivery OF the Congressional Record,
was little game to enable Public Printer
Benedict to afr his ideas on economy, aud
praise his system OF conducting the Office
as compared with that OF his predecessor.
The report OF Mr.. Benedict in answer to
the resolution was given to the House yes
terday, and II modesty bespeaks merit there
was certainly no merit in the report, for
there was no modesty-in fact, the report
was full OF self.laudation, and contained
very little else.
The report caused lively debate, in which
Col. Henderson, Of Iowa; Gen. Grosvenor,
Of Ohio; Mr.. Cutcheon, Of Michigan;
Messrs. Hopkins and Cannon, of Illinois,
and MIR. GalliEger, OF New Hampshire,
all took part and completely showed under
the Democrats who undertook to defend
Mr.. Benedict. Col. Henderson was par
ticularly severe in his denunclations OF the
Democrats who sneered at his allusion to
the widows OF Union soldiers.
Mr.. Cutcbeon finally succeeded 10 getting
two members added to the printing com
mlttee and orders made to investigate the
dali had to come to the rescue Of the Demo
Gratis and adjourn the House to prevent

A Shameful Decision.


The Ho use committee on contested cleo
consideration several days, and will doubt
less report to-day in favor Of seating Judge
Lowry. We have watched with no little
interest the progress OF this case, and now
that a decision Is to be rendered In Lowry's
favor We are prepared to denounce 1t as
the most contemplate piece Of blind parti-
san Injustice that the Democratic party has
ever been guilty Of Mr.. Lowry is a Dem
ocrat and Capt. White Is q Republican, but
that is no reason for the Democratic press
stultifyinG itself by applauding the action
Of the committee.
We are perfectly willing to bear the
reproach and odlum, II need be, OF uniting
but briefly, and recording our unalterable
opposition to the employment Of any such
methods TO maintain Democratic suprem-
acy in Congress. Judge Lowry was de-
feated by an overwhelming majority in a
district that would have given him at least
$500 more votes than his opponent re.
ceived had he been worthy the Democratic
nomination. lie was defeated by Demo.
Gratis because they could not indorse his
record OF drunkenness and debauchery,
and because he was known to be corrupt 10
Office and a traitor at all times. He not
only lost his own district by the weight of
his multiplied infamies, but to him, more
than all others combined, attaches the
blame OF defeating the Democratic state
ticket In 1856. Five thousand three hun
dTed Democratic votes were lost in his dis
trict alone, ard the number viii be doubled
, next fall II Captain White is unseatel.
1t is certainly true that the Republican
party mas committed greater outrages On
their political enemies than the seating of
Lowry would be. With them necessity is
law, and evidence In contested cases goes
for naught, II every Republican member
Of the House were expelled the Democrats
would not then have recovered as many
seats as have been stolen from them by par.
tisan Republican committees. But that
docs not Justify the Democratic members In
seating Lowry.
The Democratic party cannot afford to
follow the Infamous precGden established
by the Republicans III that or any other re-
spect. Judge Lowry has been repudiated
by constituents OF his own faith, and no
congressional committee should ignore the
supreme win OF 10000 intelligent voters by
hoisting him into position from which he
was driven in disgrace by his own party.

The District Commissioners Violating
Law.


We give below the copy of letter from
the District commissioners to the Evening
Star Newspaper Company, which accompa-
MED something over three columns of ad-
vertisements in regard to the sales Of prop
erty in the District for assessments and
taxes due and unpaid.
So far as We are advised, this advertise
ment has not been sent to any other paper
in the District, which, as has been shown
hsratofore, in tina NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,,
is violation OF law upon the part of tha
commissioners. 1t will be observed that
the commissioners say that there is no
money appropriated to pay for this work,
and they propose to have 1t appropriated
hereafter. This is direct violation OF law,
by creating debt.
Here is the letter OF the commissioners

on the S0th instant at the rate OF 76l{ cents per

of rates of advertising to take effect on and
after Jan. l, 1883, and on condition that the
commissioners will include the amoult of
expense thus incurred in the estimates for de.
hciency appropriations, as there are no funds
now available for payment of this work. Very
