In his letter accepting the Democratic
nomination for President in 1884, Mr.. Cleve-
land stated that an incumbent ought to be in
eligible for re- election He no doubt believes
that public interests would be subserved if
one term was the limit. But Congress has
not thought proper to so legislate, and it is
no fault of his that the Office has not been
limited. Therefore, if the Democratic party
demand that Mr. Cleveland should again be
the leader, his utterance as TO one term will
be no barrier to his acceptance. There will
be no inconsistency in his acceptance.

The word tariff means tax, and derives
its name from the little town Tarifa, on the
southern coast of Spain, where was first estab-
lished customhouse to collect taxes. So
there is no great mystery about the word.
To reduce the tariff, then, means to reduce
taxation, and when it is considered that the
government is collecting annually many more
millions of dollars than is needed, it must be
evident to every citizen that taxes should be
reduced until the revenue desired is about
equal to the legitimate expenses of the gov
eminent.

The Mills bill has been denounced by Pro-
tectionists as radical measure, and yet it
reduces the average tax from Al per cent as
it now stands, to 40. The bill is not perfect,
butt is better than the present tariff schedule,
and has less inequalities in it, 1t is one step
at least in advance toward tariff reform.

United Labor Convention.

CINcINNArI, May 16.-rhe united labor
convention met to day, with about 100 del.
egates presents. The committee on reso-
lutions made an informal report on two
points, the eight hour law for letter C rriers,
and the redemption OF government bonds.
The report was tabled, so as to allow DR..
McClynn, from the conference committee
to make his reports. The doctor reported
that the committee found the union labor
committee disposed to union. Cheers He
thoughts union was feasible, so far, vt least,
rs the two committees were concerned. and
he would add, that 1t was dependent some-
what on the temper with which the two
conventions received the partial report OF
the committee. There being necessity for
stili further discussion, the report of the
committee was received and the com mittee
continued. There being no further busi-
ness that could with propriety be enter
tained until the final report OF the commit
teee on conference was received, the
convention adjourned.
The entire evening was spent by the
united labor committee in trying to dispose
of the report of the committee on resolu-
tions. The chief point of discussion was
woman suffrage, this ended by adopting a
resolution that suffrage is inherent In citi-
zenship, and is not to be abridged or denied
on account Of sex. The discussion upon
the pilotage system employed tile hall a

CINoINNATI, May l6-The union labor
convention met at ten o'clock, this morn

chair, declared, that the salvation OF the
country depended on the success Of the

everything but national issues. l.. II.

against fusion with the republican or demo-

PORTLAND, Ne, May 15.-rhe prohibit
ton state convention continued its session
this morning. After religious exercises the
greetings of tho convention were sent to
the prohibition conventions OF Illinois and
North Carolina. W. w. Perry and 9. d..
'rane were chosen delegates to the national
convention. The platform atiirms that
traffic in alcoholic drinks endangers the
public morals aud safety, and is u fruitful
source Of corruption in politics; and that
license laws perpetuate this traffic and are
wrong In principle. Prohibition as state
and national policy is the true method Of
procedure against the saloon. The demo-
cratic and republican parties have neither
the disposition nor the ability to overthrow
the saloon. The entire separation OF the
government from the LIQUOR trattic requires
the abolition of the internal revenue on
liquor. The present tariff should be re-
vised In order to cheaper the necessities of
life, and it can best oe revised by commits
sion. The platform also endorses the Aus
tralian system of secret voting. IL denOun-
ces sectional issues In politics, and approves
the work Of the Wousn's Christian Tenn.
