Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-12-12

the bill, if it goes through at all, will pass in anything like its present shape. There are senators even on the repub- lican side who will not agree to the po- sition that the proper way to reduce the revenues is to raise the duties on inn ports.
 It is very certain that the senate is wasting time, to no purpose, in seeking to legislate on the tariff according to the present lines. The principle of the bill is faulty, and it could never be accepted by democratic houses. The Fifty-frst congress will have a republican majoIity in both house, and then if they wish to revise the tariff, whether in the direc- tion of higher or lower duties, they can do so Their party will then be held responsible to the country, and on the quality of their tariff legislation and it's effects on the prosperity of the country will it be weighed in the eiles of popular appreciation.
 If in the Fifty-flrst congress the republicans revise the tariff on the lines laid down in the senate bill it will be easy to predict their fate four years hence They will be driven from power by an overburdened people who are tired of the expressions of monopoly and the grasping greed of men who reap large fortunes every year when times are good

DECLINE OF THE HOME.

On a recent occasion the Rev Nehemiah Boynton, Congregational minister of Boston, spoke before union meeting of churches on the decline of the American home. The roots of this evil Mir Boynton declared were the light regard in which the marriage bond is held and the ease with which it is broken.
 That marriage is lightly held, and that there is a constantly growing disregard for its sacred character, is shown by the steadily increasing number of divOrces and the readiness with which mismated couples seek the law to rid themselves of the marriage tie. In New England, which has been regarded as the strong hold of American homes, the divorces are to the marriages as follows: In Maine 1 to 10; in New Hampshire, to IA; Vermont, 1 to II; Massachusetts, 1 to 21; Rhode Island, 1 to Il; Connec- ticut. 1 to 10. In one New England town of less than 30,00O inhabitants cited by Rev Mir Boynton there were more than 200 couples living together as husband and wife who had never been joined in marriage. Throughout the northern states of the Union, within the past thirty years, the proportion of dvorces to marriages has doubled. Under such conditions, with this fagrantly increas- ing disregard of the sacred character of the marriage bond, what wonder is it that the American home shows decline. Whatever be the cause-whether the haste with which marriages are con- summated, the conditions under which the law sanctions divorce or the waning chivalry of the American character-the need of an effective remedy is glaringly apparent. If re- course to the law were made more diffi- cult, if contracting couples knew that they could not lightly lay aside the sacred obligations assumed when they are made man and wife, if they had before them a greater certainty of being compelled to live and bear with each other under any conditions of character or temperament, they would be more chary of making alliances that through incompatibility and uncongenial qualities must only lead 1o unhappiness and discomfort.

IT is now asserted. on the authority of
 a republican congressman from Ohio,
 that Senator Sherman will oppose tooth
 and nail the appointment of General Alger of Michigan as a member of Har- rison's cabinet. Just after the Chicago convention last June MT Sherman talked plainly and bitterly Of the corrupt use of money by the Alger men, and said that his friends believed that Alger's seduc- tion of many Sherman delegations from the south prevented the senator's nom ination. This was denied by the Alger men, but hence arose a bitter feud that is likely to break out now that the time for arranging the cabinet draws near. The democrats are interested in the dec laration, made by the Alger men, that if Sherman and his friends don't let up talking about money they will tell some things about the use of money by Sher- mans agents that will make them wish they had kept still. Revelations Of that Chicago convention have a perennial interest, and even at this late day IL is quite probable that new light can be let in on the methods that brought about the nomination of Harrison and Morton.

On the home must depend largely the stability and permanence of the state. Destroy the home, stifie respect for the sacred surroundings and elevating in fluences of the domestic hearth, and there is little respect left for the restraints ol authority of the state. There is nothing that should appeal to the American more strongly than the duty of safeguarding home. The present decline of the home is one of the most deplorable evils of tht times.

JOHN JARRETT wants the senate to in crease the duty on tin plate from one cent to two and two-tenths of a cent. This would put up the price of the work mans dinner pail without any benefit to home industries, for there is not a pound of tin plate produced in the coun- try. And yet this same Jarrett and his gang were bowling during the campaign for the protection of the American workingman. He proposes, now that his party has elected it's candidates, tc protect him by taxing him on the pail in which he carries his dinner to his daily work. The republicans do so love the poor workingman!

Truthful James may yet be one of the pampered plutocrats of the press. If hustling brings success the prosperity of the News is already assured, for Adams is hustler from Baskerville.

BOSTON,S ELECTION.

we'll as New Haven, and the way they | knifed the ticket in yesterdays muni- cipal election is shown by the defeat of | Mayor O'Brien in city that last month | gave S,550 plurality for Cleveland. The | eyes Of the country have been turned 1 towards Boston for the past few weeks, and 1t is safe to say that few if any cleo tions ever held in this country have | awakened so much general interest. The 1 importation of race and sectarian pre- ju dices into municipal contest has never before been so conspicuous feature of | the battle of the ballots, and it is to be hoped it will be a long time before it will again disgrace an American election.
 It seems strange that in 8 city where American liberty was cradled the demon Of national and religious bigotrv should reas its envenOmed head and political issue be sprung involving the exclusion from the school board of certain candidates for no other reason than that they are members of the Catholic faith. And it is equally humiliating to the American idea of justice and equality that the women of Boston should show themselves foremost in the mad race of intolerance and prej udice. IL might be regarded, by those whO are anxious for the perfection of the co5mopolite American character, of less importance whether Swinton's his tory De accepted as a text book in the public schools than that all cause should be removed for dividing American cIti- zenship on religious or national lines That Boston, where we have @ right to | look for broad liberality .homogeneity and way to politico-religious strife is not an encouraging symp- tom of the progress of Ameri- caniSm in it's highest and best sense. The results of yesterdays election are likely to be more far reaching and more productive of injury than was dreamed of by those who thoughtlessly busied themselves in fomenting the national and religious prejudices of the voting population of Boston.
 1IlttU Nhtt OI V Dl1SII, " no ilttS IuduS one of the best mayors that Boston has ever had, should have been sacrificed to the know-nothing spirit is not the least of the many causes for regret that are a result of this election. There may be less sympathy felt for Philip J. Doherty the man who spoke at democratic banner raising in this city last August who has been one of the most promi- nent traitors to the democratic party in this contest and who ran as the republican nominee for alder man in the Second district. It was by the work of such treacherous democrats and of the know-nothing spirit to which they gave their support that Mayor
 O'Brien and the democratic ticket were defeated.
 The cause of democracy throughout
 the country will feel the shock of yes
 terday's defeat in Boston. Race pre-
 judices and religious bigotry are elements
 that should be carefully excluded from - American politics, but it would be ex-
 pecting too much to think that those
 who are made their victims should not seek an early and effective opportunity for retaliation. And the democratic
 party at large may unfortunately be
 made the scapegoat of the know-nothing spirit of the Boston democracy.

THE SENATE TARIFF TINKERINt


 THE SENATE TARIFF TINISERING.
 The announcement comes from Wash ington that the republican senators have abandoned all hope of passing their tariff bill before the holiday recess. A great show was made, as soon as the senate came together, of pushing the bill framed at the last session, even though the election had been carried on the plea that any interference with the tariff was free trader. The bill could have been passed by the senate at the last session had the republicans believed it judicious, eXpedient or well considered measure of tariff reform. But, as the New York Tribune declared, the bill was for bun combe merely, and it was never at any time proposed to foist sucis a measure of tariff revision on the country,-1t would be writing the epitaph of the party in the great granger states of the west Even now, though a great splurge may be made, the leaders we'll know that the democratic house stands in the way of any such bill being made law.
 
 senators must soon go home to look | after their fences in the legislatures which l will elect senators as their first business after converting on the 1st of January and that after their return they will be less hampered than they are now in their attitude on the tariff bill. Up to the present they have been held in the har- ness by Senators Allison and Aldrich, ,and even Senator Plumb, who at first showed his teeth, has been brought into line and has not attempted to force an amend ment or to vote against his party. It is doubtful, however, if he and several l others from western states who want l lower duties and more articles on the l free list can be controlled so easily after they have been again returned to the senate and their political heads are no l longer in the halter. It is no secret that these men are not reconciled to the ] various schedules of the senate bill, and l they will not hesitate to show their op- position when they can do it in safety. There is little likelihood, therefore, that

We believe in thaa part of Belva's plat form published in the DEMOCRAT referring to education, the lack of which is shown by her grammar. But the demand that every husband buy Shoninger Piano or Organ for his wife entirely destroys her chances. Oh, Belva, would you destroy family ties throughout our land! No. The Red Bandana will be used for the next four years in dusting such Fine Pianos as Mason & HamEn, Boardman & Gray, Baus, and Wilcox & White and New Eng land Organs.

A Revolutionary Relic.
An ancient three-pound cannon bearing
the inscription Cannon Foundry, No. 533
-1775," has been overhauled and will be
ready for the grand display at the Guilford
Battle Ground, near Greensboro, May 9Th.
The Workman says that it is about five feet
long, in good state of preservation and
in its new spring dress of paint, looks "eve-
ry inch gun" Cannon Foundry is In
Scotland, and was established in 1850. 1t
is still operated extensively. A number of
three-pounders were captured by General
Gates at Burgoyne's surrender, recaptured
at Gates defeat at Camden, s. c., taken
again by General Morgan at Cow Pens, and
lost again at Guilford Court House. Ira.
dition is that CORVALLIS spiked these cam
non and left them in his march to Will
mington, after the battle of Guilford Court
House. 1t is highly probable-though not
certain-that this cannon was used in that
battle by General Greene. AS Gov. Vance's
story goes, at was thar or tharabouts." At
any rate it is venerable Revolutionary rel
ic, and without duplicate in age and in
terest in the South.
