In IT'S estimate of the strength of the
democratic following Mr. Randall may nave
in the U. s. House of Representatives in bis
opposition to the Mills low tariff bill, the
Washington Republican puts Representative
O'Ferrall of Virginia down as waiting,
open to conviction" This is only fair
sample of the reliability of partisan republi.
can newspapers. OF the three Virginia
democrats in the House, Mr.. O'Ferrall is
the only one who made low tariff the chief
plank of his platform in his last campaign.
He stumped his districs as the avowed op.
ponent of protective, and the staunch
supporter of revenue tariff. He bearded
the lion in his den, and declared for low
tariff in the mining and manufacturing viii
lagos of his district, and, what's more, he
carried them. Why, of all the democratic
members of the House, none, not even Mr.
Mills himself, is more certain to vote for the
Mills bill than Mr.. O'Ferrall.

PROBABLY A SToRY.-The narrow aud
yet somewhat lpdicrous escape from horri-
be death of the Due d'Oreans, son
of the Count de Paris, is described by
the New York Evening San. The dan
ger on this occasion came from the royal
tiger of Bengal. the noble beast having been
driven from cover by the Due d'Orleans and
a party of hunting friends on q recent ex.
cursion in India. They were mounted up
on elephants, and from the comparative
ssfety of their howdahs could pour volley
after volley upon their prey. Sixteen royal
tigers had already fallen to their guns, but
No. II objected to yield without struggle.
He played artful and wound from one bull.
let made him desperate. for he crept after
his enemies and with deadly purpose. The
Due d'Orleans' elephant was slightly in the
rear Of the others, and his Royal Highness,
intent only upon getting good shot in
front, paid no attention to what was GO
ing on behind him, until yell from the
native shikarees caused him to turn. The
sight was enough to curdle his blood. Flying
through the air was an immense tiger, which
in another second had alighted upon the
hind quarters Of the Dues elephant. An.
other spring, and he was into the howdah
itself; but quick as he was. the Due took
one header from the howdah, getting clear
just as the beast entered at the rear. he es-
capped his claws by narrow margin and
slipped down the elephants trunk In time
likely to become record if it only could
have been taken. Once on the ground he
covered 100 yards slightly under the best
recorded time for the same distance, pulled
himself by its tell upon the back of another
inofensive elephant. clambered into the
howdah, much as his enemy had done, and
sank exhausted upon the floor. Fortunate
ly the tiger failed to follow up HE advan-
tage, and instead CT pursuing his active en-
envy, wreaked vengeance upon the guns left
in the howdah by crunchiug vulnerable parts
and By tearing trsppings. Finally the eff
forts of the maddened elephant looaened the
howdeh, and tiger and all came to the
ground. Then score OF deadly rifss put
sn end to the beast.

The Color QUESTION. interest
vac manifested in the Protestant Episcopal
Easter elections at Charleston, South Caro-
line, yesterday, when delegates were chosen
to the Diocesan Convention, which meets in
May. Most of the churches are divided,
clergymen being in favor of admission of
colored delegates to the convention and the
Iaty opposed. Bishop Howe recently pub.
lished pastoral letter urging the copgrega-
tioos in the diocese to elect delegates to the
convention who would uphold the clergy
but the letter seems to have haG no better
effect All the delegates who seeded from
the last convention were re elected. 1t is
understood that delegates will not attend
the May convention unless the clergymen
agree to the compromise promised some
time ago, and which proposed to dispose of
the color question by establishing sepa.
rate missionary diocese of colored churches,
under the control, however, of Bishop Howe.

ALL THE members of the Virginia repuoll-
can congressional delegation, except Repre-
sentative Browne Of the lat district. have
been interviewed by the New York Tribune
upon the subject Of the dissatisfaction that
exists among their party 10 the State with
the attempt General Malone is making to
secure a solid Sherman delegation to the
national republican convention. Ofthe whole
seven, only i've, Representatives Gaines and
Bowden, come out fat footed for The Gen
eral Senator RiddIobergerand Representa-
tive Yost heirg as sqnareiy against him;
Representative Brown, Of the 9th district,
saving "If Mr. Blaine is nominated, he
will carry Virginia, and be elected. l do
not think the Virginia delegates should be
pledged to any candidate, but should be
ready to support the man who ls most &C.
ceptable to the Northern States - Mr.
Bowen "Iu my opinion the Virginia dele
gates to the national convention should go
unpledged FOR the sake OF harmony it
nay be better not to Try to enforce the unit
rule" and Representative Browne of the
1st district being out when the interviewer
called. Now, if the Generals party we're
composed OF white men, such opposition
among its most prominent leaders would
bode him no good, but luckily for him the
effective strength Of his party lies altogether
in the negro vote, aud by means OF his
methods" and his "malign influence" he
holds that vote in complete control. His
white leaders may kick and buck, but they
can't induce his negro wheel horses to jump
out Of the traces.

TO Judgment, in their own conceit, say IL Is
entirely too soon for the South to ask lot
representation OF the national democratic
ticket lest the North become soiidly repuo'

view of the situation, think the time for
such representation has come. One OF them
ia the editor of the Salt Lake Herald, who
spesks on the subject as follows:
eff we are ever to be one people again 1t
ia fine we made start in that direction,
and no better break could be made than in
eIec,ing to the Vice Presidency an able, IN
fuential and pure Southern man. itshouio
occur to Northern democrats that the Soutn
ern wing of the party is entitled 10 th1s re-
coppitiop. ia view OF the fact that the Soutn
has been loval to the party and has mace
democratic success possible. AT the comiDe
election the democracy counts on getting
from the South four electoral votes lor every
one which the North will give the party
aud if these Southern men are good enough |,
TO elect the President they should % goou
enough to name the Vice PRESIDENT. II
some such recognition of party loyalty be
not given; there is likely to come time
when other Southern States than Virginia
will incline to the doubtful column. 1t Is
