THE Charleston News and Courier de-
clares that the tariff robs the common
people every year of $15O.oOO,ooo to en-
rich the arrogant manufacturers. If this
we're SO, how long would it be before al
the capital Of the country would be ar
rogan6ly invested in manufactures? Now,
tariff revision IS necessary, but such non
sense as the News and Courier prints is
enough to disgust sensible PeoPle.-At'

SAID Democratic workingman IN New
York the other day: II would rather pay
one cent more for dinner pail and es-
tablish an industry worth $3o,oOO,Ooo an
nuaily to this nation than continue to
support 100000 Englishmen in making

sound. It is sound from the working
mans standpoint especially, and it is
sound from the standpoint of every in
telIigent American citizen.

The Old Roman RiIed.

Shortly after his fiasco in New York,
it IS reported the senile old gentleman
became very angry at having been used
by Cleveland for a spectacular demon
stration in New York. The report which

eff there is madden, in the sense of
angrier, man in the United States to-day
than Allen G. Thurman he is fit sub
ject for restraint. The Old Roman feels
that he has been butchered to make a
Cleveland holiday, and he is hot IN the
collar about it. In the first place, he
did not want to leave his comfortable
home in Columbus and come here
to speak. The shaking up that was
given the old man while on his way
East disturbed him greatly, and soured
his temper as we'll as his stomach. He
said in substance: This is the toughest
treatment | have ever had. [ did not go
on the ticket to save New York, and if
Cleveland has any mere trips Of this
kind he viii have to make them himself,

The proceedings Of the Republican
state conventions In West Virginia
and Tennessee illustrate the breadth
and depth Of the popular movement
within the Republican ranks In favor
Of the denomination Of James g..
Blaine. In both states the machine
was worked In behalf Of Sherman and
Il was announced that sherman would
have the solid delegations. The wire
pullers had been working industriously
and on the surface IL appeared that
the wires were arranged precisely as
they should be. On the very eve Of
the conventions everything seemed to
b. going according to programme and
SherInan's managers had their pencils
sharpencd to add ~ his column the
twelve votes Of West Virginia and the
twcnty -four votes Of Tennessee.
When the conventions assembled.
however. II appeared that a very
grave miscalculation had been made
somewhere. The people had taken
their management out Of the hands of
tho politicians and were prepared to
voice their demands for the rcnomina-
ton Of Blaine. In West Virginia
solid Blaine delegation to the Chicago
convention was chosen, the sherman
men being 50 outnumhercd that they
did ut venture 10 show their hands.
In Tennessee the sherman leaders
were bold enough to offer resolution
instructing the delegation for their
favorite. but IL was voted down by an
overwhelming majority and amid the
greatest enthusiasm the convention
instructed the delegates 10 vote Tor
blaine ON every ballot Not only was
this done. but each ol the delegates
elected was required TO come before
the convention and pledge his word
that he would carry out its instruc-
tons.
These occurrences exenplify the
overwhelming feeling in favor OF Mr..
Blaine. II the wish Of the Republican
masses Is regarded he win he nomi-
mated and elected in spite OF all he can
do 10 keep out of the contest.

1t was Mr.. Flood who projected the Nevada

immense row of buildings called the Nevada
Block in San Francisco, and just before
starting the Nevada bank, Flood made that
heavy call on the California bank which led
to its suspension and incidentally to the death

greatly deplored by the public.

Superiority of Germany's Cavalry

Since The Paris Temps is thought to reflect
the opinions of the French ministry of war,
its criticisms on the recent German cavalry
maneuvers are interesting. IL says: eve
must cherish no dangerous decisions The
German cavalry is in very many respects
far superior TO ours It's horses are especially
deserving of admiration; but its troopers are
scarcely less excellent. The German peasant
is early accustomed TO ride. Unfortunately,
from economical motives our squadrons have
been everywhere reduced considerably below
their proper strength The German cavalry,
on the other hand lacks nothing, is always
ready, and is always up to the limit OF its
strength" Seeing that tie cavalry has been
looked upon as, relatively. tie strongest arm
