BERLIN, May 6.-Tbe Emperor was
feverish during last night, and he was
frequently disturbed by an increased
discharge of pus. His temperature rose
to nearly 80. By morning it had fallen

BlaInc's Candidacy.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May g. The
triple-leaded editorial in the Philadel-
phia Times, telegraphed far and wide,
that Mr.. Blaine is now an aggressive
candidate, is a fake. Mr.. Phelps, who is
in Mr.. Blaine's confidence, SO declaresit,
but in more delicate language. There
has been but one change in Mr.. Blaine's
future arrangement. He does not in
tend to be upon the Atlantic ocean when
the Chicago Convention meets.
He will either sail for the United
States on the 4th OF June, which would
land him in New York on or about the
18th, or will remain in London during
the sitting of the convention. The prob
ability is that he will remain in London,
and will be thus accessible by cable. lie
will write no further letter on the sub
iect OF the Presidency.

What DIR. Burchard now Thinks.

DR.. Burchard, who was a friend of
Blaine's election. and who, in speech,
whilst holding Blaine's band, used the now
famous alliterative phrase, "Rum, Ro-
manism, and Rebellion" now believes that
Cleveland is president by the direct appoint
ment of God. In an interview with him, a
reporter of the N. Y. World among others
asked him the questions and received the
replies given below
''Haye you said, DIR. Burchard, that you

ton as blessing to the county, and that

will. Considering all the circumstances in
the case, l cannot now help regarding Mr..
Cleveland as President of the United
States TO day by the direct appointment of
God"
"You have seen, have you not, that Mr..
Blaine explains the fact that he did not
take you up on the ALTERATION and make
some exception to it as not meeting with
his appreciation by saying that he really did
not hear what you said, because his atten-
ton at the moment was called elsewhere ?''
Il have not seen that statement, but
don't well see how Mr.. Blaine can make it.

An Important Fact.

The New York Herald states the follow.
ing as fact, and all will agree that, if a
fact, it is an important one, for, as "a fact
is worth ship-load of argument" it effec
tually knocks the pins from under the
whole superstructurs "f 5ha arguments OF
the protectionists who maintain that high
tariff makes high wages-as bold fallacy
as was ever imposed upon deluded pee

of supply and demand.
The Herald says
"Don't forget one thing-a low tariff and
high wages generally go together. That is

OFFICIALLY NOTIFYING MIR. BARBOUR OF
HIS ELEoTIoN.-The joint committee,
Messrs. Koiner, Hurt and Mcdonald from
the Senate, and Messrs. Ryan, Hay, Echols
and Gordon from the House of Delegates,
appointed to wait upon Hon. John S. Bar
bour and inform him of his election as
United States Senator from Virginia,
reached Alexandria on the 7th inst, and
discharged tho duty assigned them. MI.
W. II. Anderson, one of the House Com
mittee, was unable to be present. Mr..
Barbour, by appointment, met the commit
tee at the Custom House where there were
also present Mayor Downham and Messrs.
G. E. Stuart, J. w. Burke. L. Marbury, j.
S. B. Thompson, W. W. Scott and others.
Mr.. Koiner made the official notification
to Mr.. Barbour, saying that on behalf of
the General Assembly and of the people Of
Virginia he informed him of his election as
United States Senator, aud hoped he would
accept the position.
Mr.. Barbour thanked the committee for
the honor the Legislature had conferred
upon him and accepted the position with
the full sense of the responsibility attached
thereto. He said in looking back over the
names of the able and distinguished men
who had represented Virginia in the Senate,
he felt that he conld not expect to measure
up to the full requirements of the position,
but pledged himself to devote to Virginia
and her interests such ability as he possess
ed and hoped to be able to assist his State.
Mr.. Mcdonald, who represented the mi
nority on the committee, assured Mr. Bar
bour that the opposition of the Republi.
cans iu the Legislature to his election as
Senator was not on personal but solely on
political grounds. He then very gracefully
congratulated Mr.. Barbour on his election
and wished him success in the high pc.
sition to which the people of Virginia had
called him.
After the committee had performed their
duty, which was done in an informal man.
ner, they were handsomely entertained by
Mr.. Barbour at lunch at the Concordia.

How The Tariff Affects the Price of Wool.

HOW lie 1aflh AHectS the TflCo vi VUUl'
Will not some of those who favor high
tariff on wool explain how the wool grower
is to be benefited thereby when such a
tariff not only adds to the cost of all the
wooden goods he buys, but diminishes the
price of the wool he has to sell Elk Gov.
Long, of Massachusetts, has written an
elaborate article In criticism Of the Presi-
dents message, and in it he says that 'fo
the purchaser the price Of aroot has fallen
scith an increase Of the tariff, and vice
eersa'-that is, when the tariff is increased,
the ''price of wool falls" and when the
tariff is diminished the price of wool goes
up. Now, if this be so-and the statistics,
we believe, show it to be-how is the wool
grower, OF the man who has wool to sell,
benefited by the tariff on wool? Is he bene-
fitted by getting less price for his wool,
whilst he pays a greater price for the
wooden goods he buys? Would he not be
doub-y benefited by taking the tax off the
wool. which would increase the price Of
the wool he sells, and decrease the price Of
the wooden goods he buys?
