A PROTECTIONIST DEMOCRAT

BUFFALO, July 11.-EK-Mayor
aud ex.Congressman Jonathan
Scoville was interviewed to-day on
the political issue. He said:
"The tariff Is the sole issue of the
campaign. Party lines are as COM
pletely swept away as in 1860, when
there we're no Wings, no Demo.
Gratis, no Republicans, aud hun
dreds and thousands of Democrats
voted with the Republicans on the
slavery question"
"What do you think of tariff
reduction 7"
81 beIieye IN letting well enough
alone. If it is necessary to reduce
the revenue there are other means
OF doing it,"
"HowY
"By taking of about one.half
the duty on sugar, and paying a
bounty to the Louisiana planters
equal to the duty taken of tor half
dozen years or so. Take the in
ternal revenue tax off tobacco, that
would cut it down about sixty
millions. If that isn't enough, |
would begin to take the tax of
whiskey /; but sixty millions would
be enough reduction for once
Such a measure as that if intro
duced in Congress would pass In
side of twenty,four hours. 1t there
was a surplus then it would be
better to have 1t in the United
states Treasury than in some
Englishmsn's pockets. We have
ways enough of expanding it to
advantage aud putting it in circT-
lation. We could take a couple OF

DEMOCRATIC lNCAPACITY.

For years the Democratic party,
through its speakers and news
papers, has been shouting for a re
ductiOn of the revenue.
The Democratic party has had a
majority in the national House OF
Representatives, that branch in
which all revenue legislation mus.
originate, for six years. In that
long period the De mOcratic Repre-
sentatives have not passed a single
measure of revenue reduction; nay,
more, they have been unable to
agree on a single measure for this
purpose.
The Mills bill is now before the
House. Whether it will pass is
unknown. The composition of the
present House is as follows Re-
publicans 152, Democrats 100, La
Dor men ., Independents .; Demo
cratic majority oyer Republicans,
Labor men and Independents, 10.
Hence Democrats can not escape
responsibility for whatever is done
or left undOne by the House of
Representatives on any question.
If Randall and his Democratic
friends shall prevent the passage
Of the Mills bill, its rejection will
show how impossible it is to unite
the Democracy in any scheme OF
tariff reduction. The Democrats
are in a position where they must
enforce their ideas on tariff legis-
lation, or else acknowledge their
impotency as a party on this sub
ject.
The people OF the United States
have had about enough humbug-
cling of this sort. They are con-
sidering gravely whether it is not
time for a change-and to put in
power a party which not only has
policy but the ability to en- act it
into law and carry it into practical
effect.

the world.
Because he has pretended to re.
form the civil service and has made
that pretense a mask for carrying
out grudges and vexing friends.
Because he has launched at the
last of his administration, when it
can do harm and can do no good,
dangerous scheme of "tariff re.

Because he has allowed New York
State politics to be run by clique
of Albany politicians and national

Because he signed the rebel war
flag order as a silly bit OF clap trap
and recanted on false grounds.
Because he stayed away from
the st. Louis encampment when he
should have gone, and went when
it was apparent it was to patch up
a sore.
Because he took a "ghoulish
glee" in vetoing widows pensions
often on strained objections or
none worth considering.
because the government has been
torcjblY feeble throughout under
his administration--full of cheap

Because he has proved a weak

to care for opposition OF any sort,

wealthy Texas widow about a year
ago. "My wife is one of the finest

Sankey and many other leading
eyaugelists tried to reform me, but
my wife had no trouble doing so.
When married her she told me |
must not drink or play cards, and

THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER.
A JEALOUS KENTUCKY LOVER
KILLS HIS SWEETHEART, HIS
RIVAL AND HIMSELF.

RIVAL AND HIMSELF.
FRENCHBURG, KY, July 13.-
Word reached here Yesterday from
Red River, sixty miles distant, OF
an unusual tragedy that occurred
there. For sometime it has been
understood that Harvey Pike was
to marry Maria IIaskins, the daugh'
ter of a general stOrekeeper in the
village. Everhard, timber buyer
from Philadelphia, has been about
the place and boarded at Haskins'.
He and Miss lIaskins became great
friends and spent much OF their
time together in the evenings
Pike became exceedingly jealous of
the stranger, though here was
nothing to indicate that the lady
was untrue to him. Last Tuesday
night Pike called at Haskins' resi-
dence and learned his sweetheart
and Eyerhard were out Walking
lie sat down for while, chatting
good humOredly with the family
and then, saying he would not wait
any longer, left. Instead, whether
by accident or design, he walked
out the road taken by the couple
and found them half a mile away.
What passed between them will
never be known, but when later a
searching party. alarmed at their
long absence, walk out, they were
found dead. Eyerhard had been
shot ia the head, Miss IIaskins was
fifty feet away, the back of her
head crushed by bludgeon which
had fallen by her side. Across her
body Pike lay feeDly gasping with
a bullet hole in the roof OF his
mouth, whence he had sent a bullet
into his brain. lie died inside Of
an hour.

Why, when the Democratic party
went out OF power whisky was 30

" twenty-five years of Republican

Cleveland carried New York by
only 1,O47 plurality in 1884, and he
had for his lieutenants several Of
the most shrewd and adroIt pOhti-
clans who ever figured in Empire
state politics. There was Dan
Manning at Albany, and Hubert
o. Thompson and John Kelley, the
Tammany chleftain, IN New York (;
while in BROOKLYN the tremendous
personal influence OF Henry Ward
Beecher was exerted IN his behalf.
All of these men are dead, and
there are none of equal influence
to take their places. New York is
Republican.

Speaking OF Cleveland's speech
of acceptance, the London Times
says:
1t could hardly be possible to
put the free trade case more clear
ly or more strongly. The argu-
ments which President Cleveland
uses are those which Mr.. Golden
used to employ, 40 years ago, and
which any English free trader
would employ now. They are pure
ly free trade arguments, and as
such we are very glad to see Mr..
Cleveland using them, though sOr-
ry for the popular infatuation
which makes it dangerous to give
them their right name.
That is. the Times is sorry to see
Cleveland play the hypocrite. 1t
would prefer that he shOuld declare
himself openly tor free trade, in
stead of using mask.

Brain Photographic Revelations.

A writer in The New York Tribune
tells the story of the appearance Of a
mans brain under a strong microscope
that is both interesting and suggestive.
In the brain matter, he says, were no.
ticed curious markings, some geometri-
cal. some sinuous. and many others that
proved TO be characters in the Ethiopic,
Syriac and PhanicIan languages, which
the possessor Of the brain, when alive,
had made a special study. Now for the
suggestive part. Perhaps ONE day
when a man dies we can take out his
brain, spread it on q microscopic slide,
and, in a peep, behold him as he really
was, not as he pretended to be. Every
thing his mind ever took cognizance Of
and formed an opinion about will be open
before us like the page of a book.
No doubt the traceries will take pecu-
liar shapes sometimes. Perhaps the
brains Of some young men. who died
young because they were good. will show
markings closely resembling champagne
bottles, night keys and fast horses. The
tracings in the brain Of more than one
good bald headed deacon may assume the
graceful forms Of ballet girls, the sight Of
which made such an impression on him
when alive aud in the front row Of the
theatre. SHAPES that closely resemble
beautiful entrain and decollete dresses
may be expected in the craaiums Of So
ciety bellies called hence in the midst Of
their triumphs. In the brains OF re-
porters will be noticed many ghastly
family and public secrets which, out Of
reportoridl goodness of heart, never were
given out 10 the world. And SO we
might continue al intinitum. but we re-
frain. This ,4litic investigation must
not be pushed g. icr. A key that opens
a mans secrets after he is dead might
not be such u hilarious discovery after

Artificial Agcing Of Whisky.

A way has been found of ageing
whisky artificially. A dealer showed the
writer two samples of what he called the
straight" article; one was made in
1885, the other in July, 1887. They
were equally good, he said, in color, bou-
quet. taste and every other quality, and
get the 1887 sample was sold at $40 less
a barrel than the other. In other words.
the whisky makers can now furnish a
three months article equal in every re-
spect t0 thai which is three years old.
BY this process they ave the three
years storage, interest and evaporation.
The purchaser generally gets the benefit
Of this. The new process consists briefly
Of rocking the barrels day and night on
patented cradles" Charred barrels are
used, az is customary-tha is to say, the
barrel is burned out before the whisky is
put in. thus converting the inner surface
into charcoal. The constant motion for
three months d~issipates the frsel oil and
imparts the rich color which new whisky
has hitherto never had le~gitimately.-

however, the whole thing was produced
in a few hours, and at small expense, by
the new process Of plating, the invention
of a Frenchman. Each bronze flower
and leaf i~ncloses the real original, upon
which the metal has been deposited by
electric action, and it is affirmed that the
roses so encased retain indefinitely their
perfume, and, even in their deepest
interiors, their natural colors. The
same process is applied in the making Of
silver flies. beetles and other insects, and
even in the coating Of lizards and small
snakes for the ornamentation of parasol
handles and zane heads. The dead insect
or reptile is Theoretically sealed up in its
metal coat, and, it is said, will never de-
cay, at least until the metal is worn
through, and, as the deposit may be put
on as thick rs is deemed advisable, they
may be made to last as long as peoples
liking for them as a novelty endures.
The fidelity to nature in these ~reproduc-
tons is wonderful.

the direction of plating non-conducting
surfaces by giving them a primary coat

electrician substitute for that a bath

into which the objects to be plated are
plunged for a few seconds. When they
are withdrawn they dry of almost i'm

upon a plum. They are then plunged
into an electric bath, and any metal de-
sired is deposited upon them.-New York
