friendliness. know too that it
would be profitable and advantageous
to be even for brief period in the in
spring influence of the atmosphere
surrounding patriotic, unselfish men
banded together in the Interest of their
fellow countrymen and devoted to the
work of tariff reform. This reform
appears to be as far reaching in its
purposes as the destiny of our country.
and as broad in its beneYolence as the
welfare OF our entire people. It is be-
cause the affairs of its advocates are
not discredited by any sordid
motive, that they are able,
boldly and confidently to
attack the stronghold of seffishness
and greed. Our institutions were con-
structed in purity or purpose and love
for humanity; their operations read
lusted to the touch of national virtue
and patriotism, and their results under
such guidance must be the prosperity
and happiness of our people; and so
long as the advocates of tariff reform
appreciate the sentiments in which our
institutions had their origin, SO long as
they apprehend the forces which alone
can guide their operation, so long as
they in a spirit of true patriotism
are consecreted TO the service of their
country temporary defeat brings
no ulScOuTdSSm60I. IL DuG proves
the Stubbornness of the forces of
combined selfishness and discloses how
far the people have been led astray,
and how great is the necessity of re-
doubled efforts in their behalf. To lose
faith in the intelligence of the people
is a surrender and an abandonment of
the struggle; to arouse intelligence and
free it from darkness and delusion'
gives assurance of a speedy and COM
plete victory. In the track of reform
are often found the dead hopes
of pioneers and the despair of those
who fall in the march. but there will be
neither despair nor dead hopes in the
path or tariff reform, nor shall its pio-
neers fail to reach the heights holding
fast their faith and rejecting every
alluring overture and every deceptive
compromise which would betray their
sacred trust. They themselves shall re,

countrymen, freed from the trespass of
grasping encroachment and safely
secured by the genius of American jus.

Brutallv Murdered.

LONDON, Dec. 29.-The mutilated
body of boy was found in an clubhouse
at Bradford this morning. It was rec
ognized as that of John Gilla, eight
years of age, who, when last seen alive,
was sliding on the ice with some COM
panions. The boy had been brutalIy
murdered. His legs and arms had
been chopped off in a rough manner
and tied to his body. His ears had
been cut off, and there were two stab
wounds in his chest and his heart and
entrails had been torn out. The re-
mains when found were wrapped in a
rough covering. The police be-
iieve from the clumsy manner
in which the body was muLilated that
the crime was the work of drunken
lads whose imaginationS had been
infiamed be reading accounts of the
White Chapel atrocities. 1T is supposed
the murder and butchery were COM
mitted in some other place and the re-
mains afterwards carried by the per-
petrators to the clubhouse in which
they were found. The crime hascTe-
ated the greatest excitement at Brad
ford. The police have not as yet any
| trace of the murderers.

More reliable estimates of the total
losses by last nights fire are IS, 900, 600
and ~ 900 or more men thrown out of
employment, and many families rem
dered temporarily homeless. Thirty
seven structures in all were destroyed,
thirteen of these were dwellings,
twelve were shoe factories and twelve
miscellaneous. Though the bound
aries of the fire were almost identical
with the big fire of June, 1887, the
losses on last nights fire are nearly
double those of the former. So
quickly did the flames spread that
whole blocks were ruined in less than

that between eight and nine arces were

words thanked the guard for their
watchfulness and fidelity and pinned
on the breast of each gold medal,

relief on one side and an inscription on
the other hanging from bar, bearing
the word Fidelity" The badges were
