THE situation OF the Republicans on
the tariff question is interesting. Mr.
Mckinley is the chairman Of the Com
mittee on Ways and Means in the House
Senator Allison is chairman Of the Senate
Subcommittee on the Tariff. Mr.
Mckinley wrote the tariff plank in the
platform Of the Chicago convention, and
he has declared himself to be in favor Of
"a tariff for protection with incidental
revenue" Senator Allison was low
tariff advocate twenty years ago and has
gradually graded his convictions upward
till he produced that shameless bargain
with the protected interests known as the
Senate Tariff bill Of 1888. He has declared
in glittering generRlties;
There should be an enlargement Of the
free list wherever that can be safely and
properly done, and there should be a re.
duction on good many articles. :
A good many things will bear a much
larger reduction than was proposed in
1888, and many reductions can be made
where none were made in 1888.
But those declarations give no definite
idea Of what Senator Allison may do here.
after for he has often said one thing and
done quite the contrary thing. Mean
time the Republican party at large is not
agreed upon the tariff. There is no prin-
ciple involved. It is simply matter OF
greed and that Of course is subject to
compromises, dickers and bargains. Each
interest is sclfshly employed in securing
all the favorable legislation it can secure
Tor itself, but they are all engaged in the
one grand scheme Of legalized robbery. It
Is to their interest not to fall out with
each other. 1t is an interesting study to
contemplate this situation and to watch
the efforts that each different interest
will make to get all that is possible for
itself, without making a rival looter
angry. Is is interesting to watch them
getting together for grand rush on the
Treasury.

A Sotabie Run on tho Reading Railroad

Notable Run on the Reading Railroad
The most remarkable feat in the history
Of American railroading was accomplished
a few days ago on the New York Division
Of the Philadelphia and Reading railroad,
when special passenger train covered
the distance of ninety miles between
Philadelphia and New York in the almost
Incredibly short time of esghty-five min
utes. The engine which made the
record smashing run is designated
as No. 366 1t is Of the peculiar
type originated by the Reading railroad,
and was built for the regular fast pas.
senger service Of that road. The engi-
neer was Frank Wagner who, when he
climbed into the cab, little fancied that
he would leave ii the hero of the fastest
run ever made between the two big cities.
No special preparation was made for
fast run, both engine and crew being
selected hastily and almost at random to
meet sudden call for Especial" The
first revolution of the drivers was made at
II. 3S a. M, and the real running began
at Wayne Junction, on the outskirts of
Philadelphia. which station was passed
at IL AT From this point the road is
peculiarly adapted to the attainment of
high speed, being straight, free from
heavy grades, and in excellent condition
of maintenance. The fiftyfour and nine
tenths miles between Wayne junction
and Bound Brook was covered in 49i
minutes. an average speed of
66i miles per hour. The high
est rate of speed reached was 81
miles per hour, and stretches several
miles long were run at the rate of 81 80
and S4 miles respectively. A little calcu-
lation will show the terrific velocity i'm
pliedsby these figures and to stand the
strain involved requires the very perfec-
tion Of machinery and roadbed. The best
previous records ever made between
New York and Philadelphia was that of
special, also on the Reading, which con-
veyed the late President Gowen on his
return from Europe several years ago.
The time then made was 30 minutes for
the SO and 10 miles, and 1t has never
been equalled until now, when Engineer
Wagner and "No. $685. have beaten it by
five minutes

SPEAKING Of the late Judge Kelley Of
Philadelphia, representative Breckinridge
of Kentucky said:
Mr.. kelleys life was singularly fortu-
nate in the apparent victories which his
policy had gained, though wLo could saw
that the abolition Of slavery had made
the solution of the race problem
complete2 He had died after the organi-
zation Of q Congress organized in con
sonance with his opinions, with the chief
committee presided over by the most able
scholar and pupil he had ever had in his
Congressional career. Yet who would be
bold enough to say that the victory was
complete; that there were no further
battles for the advocates Of protectionf
These two great questions have been
singularly troublesome to the Republican
party. The party began its agitation
of the slavery question forty years ago,
and practically the same question
remains unsettled to-day. The race
question of to-day is as difficult as was
the slave question on which the party
came into existence. The tariff question
is.in worse state still The party il
divided against itself on high and low
duties, free and taxed raw materials.
Judge Kelley died just as both of these
questions had become most vexatious to
his party.

MORE than twenty years have passed
since the negroes were emancipated and
the party which undertook the care OF
them has done nothing to educate, to
elevate or to enrich them. They have
only deceived and debauched them. All
the help, all the education the negroes
have received have come from the i'm
poverished people Of the South. There
are 4, 200, 600 black men whom the Re
publican party has not assisted in any
manner to rise to the dignity and strength
of true manhood and honorable citizenship.
There has been continual hot.headed and
reckless talk about political outrages,
intimidation, discrimination, etc. but
meanwhile the black man has been LETT
to fight his battle alone in ignorance ard
fear. He has not even been taught how
to exercise his rights under the law
This is true not only Of the negro in the
South, but in the North. He has been
required to vote, to pay taxes and to hoe
his own road. In the cotton states they
have not had the poor privilege of claim
ing that they enjoyed any Of the wonder
full benefits Of the protective tariff. They
exchanged their cotton at free trade
prices and paid an average duty Of AZ per
cent on everything they received in re-
turn. The negroes should be very CRATE.

That which girl in any walk Of life ad-
mires in the opposite sex is a man, not that
half breed combination known as a dude.
The lack Of true manliness is felt through all
grades Of the social strata. The lady in the
parlor and the maid in the kitchen alike
scorn an effeminate man. It is perfectly nat
ural for a woman to look up to and regard
with almost feeling Of reverence the brave
and noble in men; for the more she engages
in pursuits that were exclusively his at one
time, and the more he retires from his own
realm, or rests on his oars entirely, the greater
win be the independence women Will feel in
their own abilities to provide for themselves.
