Interesting Facts Brought Out by the Propo-
sition to Revise the Tariff.
Special 60 the Indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The Investigations
that have already been made into the PROPOSE
tions to reform the tariff have led to few in
teresting discoveries. some of which argue the
necessity of revising the tariff while others
point out the wisdom in revision at all. In
CAPABILITIES aud inconRruities are likely to always
be found in laws extensive and technical as
those affecting the tariff. There have been
number of weak places found in the law already
on the statute books. requiring constant inter-
pretations and explanations by the Treasury
Department officials, and number of doublets,
and outs. and inexplicable statements have been
found in the bin just presented to the commit
tee on ways and means by the majority. The
photographers in the State of New

MINOR MATTERS.

Little Hope OF Securing n Change in Frances
Edict Against American Pork.
WASHINGTON, March THE President sent
to the Senate to-day response to resolution
of inquiry from that body about the exclusion
of American pork from French ports. The re-
Spouse included letter from Secretary Bayard,
together with correspondence between the State
Department and its representative in France.
Secretary Rayard say he sees little prospect
for any change in the attitude of the French
Chamber of Deputies on the subject. A letter
from Minister McLane says he is making eff
der which excludes American pork in the hope
that the pending changes in the regulations re
garding American im2ortatiops of this character
may. when completed, include favorable action
on American pork.

James g. Blaine.

His leadership during the admins
tration of Garfield is history. He was
false to country, to party, and to the
President. He bartered with South
ern Democratic Senators for their
votes in the Senate to secure the po-
litical destruction of Roscoe Conk-
ling, and delivered Republican Vir-
ginia back to the Democracy as the
consideration, thus making the South
again solid. He bred the disturbances
which unsettled the head of the half
breed Guiteau, who assassihated the
President after praising him in writ
ing for his treatment of Senator Conk-
ling. After he was dismissed from
office by President Arthur, he became
the pet of a large element among the
Southern Democrats /; and during the
summer of 1882 the word was passed
about among them that he would do
for them. None knew better than
they !; and "Jem Blaine is good
enough for men was a familiar form
of greeting among them.
The idea of advertising him all
summer as the guest and chum of Mr..
Carnegie, the head of the offensive
Iron and Steel Trust, riding through
Scotland on his tally-ho, and being
entertained by him at Cluny Castle.
and then attempting to make him the
Trust-defending hero of campaign
in which Carnegie's workingmen are
asked to vote for Blaine for Secretary
of State, and high wages for them
selves. just after they have been lock-
ed out by their greedy employers in an
effort to make them submit to a re-
duction of ten per cent on their miser-
able starvation wages-is it not the
ecstacy of folly
That the manufactured but sadly
limping enthusiasm for Mr.. Blaine
should deceive a good many is not
strange. That it wearies the great
body of sensible people is most certain.
That, in the face of the whole absurd
performance, the Republican Presiden-
tial nominee should remain silent
while Mr.. Blaine's leaders publicly
boast that he is to be made Secretary
of State and again turned loose in the
Republican china-shop in the event of
Republican success, is beyond belief.
A plumed Knight who kneels and
begs, a Great Commander who never
won victory, Great Statesman who
never framed a measure, a Great
Leader whom the people have, in four
Presidential campaigns, steadily refus-
ed to follow-what hope of victory can
the Republican party entertain, if
nobody will give bonds that he shall be
