a tariff bill should be tear-up bill, are

The Republicans of New Jersey. who this
year control both branches of the Legisla-
ture, are studying the best means of restrict
ing the liquor traffic. A local option bill
which has many friends among the men
from the southern part of the State. has
been introduced in the House. while a high
license bill is also to be introduced. Then
there is expected to be great deal of discus
sion as to which bill should be adopted.
Perhaps compromise may be made, so that
high license shall be the law of the State
with power delegated to the counties to alb
solutely prohibit the traffic within their
limits whenever majority of the people SO
vote. In Michigan such method works
advantageously.

General S. G.. Armstrong, who is at the
head of Hampton Institute, the school for
the education of young negroes and Indians,
has taken advantage Of the attention aroused
by the debates on the Blair bill in the Senate
to write a vigorous letter setting forth the
reasons of his change Of opinion in regard to
the measure. Speaking first of his own
school, he says: 1--WE would not accept aid
from State or people were il cffered on the
plan of the Blair bill, being conscious that
In the end it would do us more harm than
good. For here it is not merely education
that we seek to give, but education through
self-help." In his opinion the Southern
States have lately developed wealth and an
interest in education that show that they do
not need the federal aid proposed by the
Blair bill. He also fears.that such aid would
be fed out through politics and party and
would do more harm than good. Another in
cident of the discussion is a sharp letter from
Superintendent Marble, of Massachusetts,, re-
plying to Senator Evarts's criticisms of the
stand which Mr.. Marble has taken.

The question of biennial sessions is again
before the Massachusetts Legislature. The
persistence with which the Bay State has
stuck to the annual session, notwithstand-
ing it has been discarded by most of the
other States, is astonishing. We imagine
the explanation is that the people have new
er had the opportunity to vote upon the
question. When they do have it we predict
that the State will not long enjoy Legisla-
ture oftener than once in two years.

The blunder by which the new steel gun,
on which twenty thousand dollars have been
expended at the Washington Navy Yard,
has been spoiled, is explained. A Washing
ton despatch says that the old foreman, a
skillful mechanic, was discharged to make
room for one of Senator Germans proteges,
clumsy fellow who knows more about Bal
timore ward politics than about guns. This
politician allowed the breech pin to become
fast in the bore of the gun, so that after
weeks of work it is yet found impossible to
remove it, He now finds that fooling with
big gun and fooling with Maryland caucus
are two different performances.

The Hartford Courant tries to belittlo our
Maine earthquake. "These reports of earth
quakes," it says, "are very interesting, but
we beg to suggest that loud rumbling noises,
and even tremors of the ground. come every
cold winter as result solely of frost They
are not the serious kind of quake, only sort
of cold sliyers." We beg leave to inform
the Connecticut EDITOR that our earthquake
happened in Somerset and Kennebec coun-
ties, portion Of this State famous for dis
eliminating intelligence and indiscrin.inat-
ing enforcement of the prohibitory law.
When the people of that region say there
was an earthquake they are not talking Of

Monarchs as a rule in addressing the
representatives Of the people deal In
dreary commonplaces and platitudes. But
Bismarck, who is practically monarch OF the
German empire, always has something to
say which not only the Reichstag, but the
whole civilized world, finds interesting
enough to command its attention. His latest
speech is bold and frank, like all his utter
ances. Though anxious to avoid war, if it
can be done with honor, he notifies Russia.
that any aggressive movement on her part
will find Germany ready for vigorous re-
sistance. 1t is safe to say that such utter
ances as the chancellor's will 60 long way
toward preserving the peace of Europe.

the least successful in acquiring greatest
earthly reward; but, thank God for the
TACT that they can confidently look beyond
this vale Of tears to higher success, which
endures forever, for those of whom it is
written: We'll done, thou good and faith
full servant, thou hast been faithful unto
a few things, | will make thee a ruler
over many Gen. Logan never stopped
to conquer and crooked the preg.
nant hinges of the knee that thrift might
follow fawning.' He could not resort 20
the despicable arts Of the political manip-
ulator to achieve success. His fidelity to
his friends was proverbial. He believed
