THE Republicans lay the fiatter-
ing JUNCTION to their souls that tariff
reformers were knocked entirely out
of the ring by the late election.
They are simply mistaken. The
tariff reformers, if beaten and whip
ped, are like old Trough and Ready
at the Buena Vista-they don't know
it, and will continue to fight on just
as if they had never met back set.
Freedoms battle once begun can
never be given up till it is successful.

James Clegg, a young man about
twenty-four years old, stepped out of
a box car at Budd's Greek, near this
city on Sunday morning, and fell
about 80 feet, striking on his head
and shoulders in the mud. He was
very badly hurt, and it is thought
his back is broken. He was brought
to this city, and was sent to his home
in Louisville on the evening train.

BLASTING BLAINE.

The indianapolis News, the editor
of which is reputed strong personal
friend Of President Harrison, on
Saturday had the following terse edi-
toral on a personal matter Of national
interest:
"The narrowness of the Maine
Yankee has rarely been more strik-
ingly displayed than in the inter
views concerning Mr.. Blaine, which
were reported of several of the Maine
Congressman and Senators in yester-
days News. If Mr.. Blaine bore the
brunt of the battle, few Who watched
the campaign with unprejudiced
eyes, are aware Of it. The Blaineites
intended he should. With their cut
and dried receptions and their ignor
ing of Harrison, these gentry in
tended to give Mr.. Blaine send off
that should carry him through the
campaign as the central figure. To
the extent that they succeeded,
to that extent the Republicans were
handicapped, and it was the growing
weight ofthe conviction of Harrison's
strength and masterfulness, as he inn
pressed himself upon the country, as
the campaign progressed, that
counteracted the mischief of the
Blaine impression and brought
victory to the Republicans. "Where
was his strength" Not here. He
failed to carry Indiana four years ago,
and his mere presence here this year
was a damper that only Harrison's
steady popularity overcame. Blaine
is thoroughly distrusted and feared
as corrupt and unsafe man by one
half the people of the country, and he
has lost the confidence and consider
alton Of the thinking element Of his
own party"

What is sweeter than roses

What is sweeter than roses
That bloom in the beauty of June?
Or the stately and fragrant lilies
Whose bells ring summer tune?
All, sweeter the roses blowing
On the cheeks of those we love,
And the lily of health that's glowing
The cheeks red rose above.
But how soon the lily and the rose
wither in the faces of our American
woman. Why is it? Simply because
SO many ofthem are victims of weak
nesses, Irregularities and functional
arrangements incidental to the sex.
If they would use DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription all these beauty
and Notwithstanding ailments might
be warded off, and we would hear
less about women "growing old be-

the election Of Harrison is not res
toration. 1T Is a restoration of Re
publican power; is not restora-
ton OF old Republican Office holders.

it will be little recommendation for
an applicant that he was in and lost
his head by the Democratic axe. In
exceptional cases, where special JUS

may be done; but everything points

ton of Republican power both in

THE SENATE TARIFF BILL.


The following CLEANED from the
Senate tariff bill, show how the tax
Is reduced on articles of necessity:
BoraX, which is used in soaps, for
glass making and in many manufac-
lures and arts, now pays a duty Of
four cents a pound, or 20 per cent. ad
valorem. The duty is increased in
the Senate bill to five cents, or 100 per
cent. ad valorem. Glue is raised from
20 per cent to 40 per cent. Paint ma
terials, some of them free under the
present tariff, are all taxed by the
Senate bill, and existing duties on
them largely increased; vermillion
red, one of the common paint ma
terials is now taxed % per cent, and
the Senate bill increases the tax to rs
per cent. Spirit varnishes, which
now pay 80 per cent, are taxed in
the Senate bill 124 per cent. Port
iand cement, building necessity not
made here, is to be taxed 80 per cent,
instead Of the present rate of 90 per
cent. Taggers tin, used in bottom
making and other small industries,
Is to be taxed IS instead of 80 per
cent, and the duty on the whole
range Of sheet iron and steel is in
creased from 5 to 80 per cent. The
farmers are to be taxed 10 per cent,
more on trace chains, and on wire
'lods for fencing 7 per cent. more.
Ship owners are to pay 10 per cent.
more on anchor chains. Common
table cutlery, which is now taxed 80
per cent, is to be taxed under the
Senate bill 80 and 60 per cent. Pocket
knives and razors now pay so per
cent, but the Senate bill pushes the
rates up, the range being from 60 to
$50 per cent, the highest duties being
laid on the cheapest goods.

WILL Florida be safe resort this
winter? is a question which many,
especially delicate people anxious to
avoid the extreme of our Northern
climate, are now asking. The Phila-
delphia Medical News of recent date
answers it partly. This journal says:
"Those who travel in Florida should
be cautioned that the lower part of
the peninsula may be infected all the
winter through. 1t is reported on
good authority that there were cases
of fever in Jacksonville as early as
last February, the infection having
been brought northward from Key
West and Tampa in midwinter along
the line of the railway from the lat
ter town"

England's Army and Navy.

Since the year 1855, just upon the close
of the Crimean war, up to 1851 period
of thirty-two years-the army and navy
of Great Britain has cost--now, what do
you think? Nine hundred and twenty
live million eight hundred aud fifteen
thousand six hundred and fifty-five
pounds sterling! Can the mind of man
grasp such gigantic sum, and contem-
plate it satisfactorily in all its bearings?
Nearly $4,000, 100000. Imagine that!
To bear army men talk, one would think
the army had been self supporting, and
had been able to get along only through
the supreme military genius of its officers.
According to them the army has been de-
MED the common necessaries Of life.
Now, what has been done with all this
money! Where has it gone to. What
has become of it? Is there nothing to
show for it? There has been no great
war in which England has been engaged
to account for the legitimate expenditure
of such gigantic sum of the peoples
money. Has it given the army general?
Let us stop again for a moment and
reflect on the enormous magnitude Of
this sum of money squandered APP
parently with no results. Five thousand
millions of dollars! Why, the national
debt of the United States on Aug. 81,
1868, when the civil war had been going
on for two years, was, after deducting
the cash in the treasury, not quite
$4,000, 000,0 900. The great cry now is
that the army and navy are inefficient,
and unable to keep the French out of
England whenever they choose to come,
because they are not given any money.
But what is the use of giving them
money! 1t is like pouring water into
sieve. Nothing ever comes of it,

Col. Sanford delivered his lecture,
"Walks in Rome," to fair sized
audience at the Opera House last
night. Some ofthe best people of the
city were present and gave the
closest attention TO the delightful
lecture. Col. Sanford, is a natural
orator-not one of the spread-eagle
sort, but quiet, dignified speaker,
who, by the exercise of a heaven be-
slowed power, plays upon the feel
ings of his audience as skillful
musician plays upon his favorite in
strument. He has an easy converse
tional style, the grace and quietness
of which are captivating. After
hearing him speak five minutes one
feels perfectly at home with him.
The listener goes with him to cathe-
dral, art galleries, and dozens of
other places of interest in Rome, and
listens attentively to the clear and
beautiful descriptions of all of them,
and to the histories of men and times
which made them famous. He talks
to his auditors as one friend to
another, there being not the slightest
constraint in his manner. Frequent,
though often unexpected, sallies Of
bright humor rendered his lecture
decidedly entertaining Tonight Col.
Sanford lectures on "Scenes in Pales-
tine" and he will doubtless be greeted
