Excitable persons finding an occasional
error Of fact in newspaper upon sub
iect which happens to be within their
personal knowledge or connected with
their personal interests are won't to in
dulge themselves in general condemna-
ton Of newspaper accuracy. They do not
stop to reflect either upon the enormous
difficulties from which the daily journal
energies into public circulation or upon
the unquestioned fact that every other
department of human energy is respon-
sible for far larger proportion
of original errors-errors which
subsequent opportunity for correction
often makes harmless The truth is
that the newspaper press has made an
advance in respect to the accuracy Of the
intelligence it conveys, which is not less
remarkable than the expansion of its
energy and activity The precautions
taken and the money expended in the
conscientious endeavor TO obtain an ex-
actly truthful record Of every days doings
the world over are safe defence against
the ilippant complaints Of captious critics
The fact is constantly brought home to
every newspaper office in the most con
vincing manner, and it is, moreover,

The commanders of the steamers denied
that there was to be any racing-that

Every improvement in ocean steamers
has been received with marked interest
from the days when the first of the kind
came over in fourteen days Gnstead of
the usual thirty days required by sailing
vessels) to the present. when the time
from Queenstown to Sandy Hook has
been reduced to a trihe over six days.
The earliest trips Of steamers across
the Atlantic were made by the Great
Western, the Royal William and the
Sirius. The first passages were made in
1888. The Great Western crossed from
Bristol to New York in fifteen days The
Sirius followed her, steaming from Cork
to New York in seventeen days. Steamers
had long been used on shorter voyages,
but it was doubted if sufficient coal could
be stored in vessel to enable her ia
cross the Atlantic. This was the problem
to be settled by the Great Western and
the Sirius. Nearly twenty years before q
vessel called the Savannah had crossed
from New York to Liverpool, but she re.
lied chiefly on her sails, her steam power
being auxiliary.

II seems that in less than twenty years
we have enlarged our non-dutiable goods
from $17, 033, 1870 TO the large amount Of
$3l1 $50, 7b9, and the most startling fig
ures for the Free Trader to study will be
those that we have only increased the
value Of the dutiable goods from 1851,
1876, 553 in 1867 to $413, 77S, 055 in 1886.
The Free Trader has gained on his initial
crusade against Protection at least twelve
times the amount since 1867. while the
Protectionist has moved but step-not
more than twenty per cent.-in the same
period from 1866 to 1885, and yet they
cry out Protection is growing alarmingly
burthensome If these figures are not con
elusive, let us supplement them by saying
that the amount collected from customs in
1867, was Si6s, SOB. 1850 and in 1886 SiS9,
40, AS. and that the average advalo-
rem rates Of ordinary duty on dutiable
goods has not varied six per cent. during

First lieutenant munson She New
 Captain of 9he GraYs.
 The Grays met at their room in the armory last night and unanimously elected Lieuten- ant H. s. Munson to the position of captain of the company.
 Ever since the desth of Captain Arnold there has been great deal of uncertainty and anxiety among the members and num- Der of meetings have been held to try and decide upon a candidate who would be in every way satisfactory.
 Rut at none of thess meetings would the members of the company agree upon coms potent man for the position, and to-day the time allowed them by law expired and the adjutant general would have had the Eower to appoint 6 captain, but at their meeting last night the Grays decided that they must elect captain and accordingly after long meeting chose Lieutenant Munson Second Lieutenant J. F. Gill was elected first lieu tenant, Acting First Sergeant T. H. Macdon- aid ss second lieutenant and the appoint ment of first sergeant was left with Lieuten- ant Macdonald.
 Captain Munson joined the Grays August 28, 1889, was elected sergeant June 10, 'S5, first sergeant April 21, '66, second lieutenant February 2, '87, and first lieutenant March 9, 'S7.
 Although he did not desire to be captain, yet he accepted because it was the unanimous wish of the company.
 The newly elected officers received congrat- ulations from every quarter and the company may rest assured that they will discharge their duties in an equitable manner

 Fire destroyed one of the largest buildings in Bristol last night. The building was three stories high and was situated on North Main street, the principal business thoroughfare. The fire started in Dr. Wilson's room on the second floor at 1915 o'clock. With so great rapidity did the flames spread that the fire department was nearly two hours before it got them under control. The first floor was occupied by Leland & Meater, clothiers, NJ. Lozier, druggist. The first named had their stock damaged mostly by water. Their loss is about $5. .000, and Lozier's about s2,OOO. The total loss will be between S10,000 and $12,OOO.

 WAHALAK, Ala, Dec. 19.-Three of the leading actors in Sunday nights tragedy, in which six white men were shot and several others wounded by 8 mob of negroes, are in the hands of the avengers and six more are hedged in so that escape seems impossible. The hunt begun early this morning and the three suspects captured are Dick Cheatham, Anthony Wilder and zack Msury: The pris- oners are at tumble-down frame building called 'white house," ten miles from here on the brow of one of the highest ranges of hills in the neighborhood. They are under strong guard and the next twenty-four hours will determine their fate.
 Satisfactory evidence is now at hand that the ambush party was composed of sixteen men led by George Maury. The others alios Coe, George Coleman, Henry Bush Dick John Prince, Nelson and Andrew Stennis It is not likely that any of them can get out of the trap set for them. The wounded whites are worse tonight, and it is feared that three more of them will die.
 The excitement is all over and the people are anxious to arrest the perpetrators of the tragedy. Cobb and Maury were buried yes- terday and the wounded are all doing fairly well. The runaor that several negroes were killed near Wahalak yesterday is utterly with out foundation.

THE TARIFF BILL.
Af.a- .h. oorsidarotion of r,;scal,.

After the consideration of miscellaneous business the Tariff bill was taken up. Va rious amendments were proposed but all re- jected on the paragraphs from 174 to 177.
 MT. Voorhees, occupied long time in an at tack on the salt and wood schedules of the substitute. As to the cutlery paragraphs he read statements from "a leading New York paper" exposing their nnfairness. Quoting saying of MT. Lincoln that this is world of
 compensations, Mir. Voorhees, said that, if
 Ar. Lincoln had lived to see the Senate
 bill, he would have regarded it as an excep-
 tion to the general rule; because there were
 neither compensations nor cancellations in 1t
 except such a privileged few found in op-
 pressing the humble frs-sides of the toiling millions.
 Mr. Hawley replied to Mr. Voorhees, speech, to which he said he had listened with inter- est, not because it contained anything new,
 but as an effort of the imagination in por-
 traying the sufferings of the people. Sus-
 tained, ss it had been by the prophetic tones and sounding voice of the senator from In- diana, it had been really a masterpiece. As
 matter of fact he (Mr. Hawley) did not know any such people and did not know of any such oppression. It was amazing to re- fleet that after all that the senator had said
 about the great evils of the tariff the Democ- racy had not during the last twenty six years
 passed & tariff bill through Congress, and had never passed one through its own House of Representatives until last July.
 Paragraphs IFS, 179 and 1e0 were then passed over without amendment; likewise paragraph 1S1 relating to double-barreled shotguns. Various amendments were offered to paragraphs 1S1 to 1e6 but rejected. Finally at the suggestion of MT. Allison action on the amendment was deferred and schedules D, relating to wood and wooden wares, and E, relating to sugar, were passed over informally with the statement that para graphs so laid aside would not be taken up before the close of the bill was reached. This
 brought the consideration of the bill down to
 schedule E, tobacco, cigars, etc., when it was ! laid aside. About three pages of the bill were disposed of in to-day's session.

THE RIVER AND HARRoR BILL,

HoUsE.-The House went into committee of the whole on the river and harbor bill
 MT. Grain, of Texas, opposed the bill be- cause 1t did not appropriate enough to carry on the work of internal improvements. There was plenty of money in the treasury and the committee should not cut down the sum to so small an amount simply beosnse they feared that the President would veto the bill. The "driblet system," he said, greatly in- oreased the cost of internal improvements.
 MT. Blanchard replied that he himself be- lieved in larger appropriations, but it was more polite to bring bill with a moderate appropriation that could be passed than with large appropriation that would be defeated.
 Mir. Sowden, of Pennsylvania, declared that of the appropriations previously made for rivers and hsrbors early $23, ,000, 900 remain ed unexpended, and he opposed the further appropriation of $12, 100000.
