The Retirement Of ..rariu Reform."

The friends OF Grover Cleveland do M
undertake to conceal their disappear.
ment Mt the election OF Mr.. Crisp TO the
speakership OF the National House OF
Representatives. In this movement they
see the subordinat;on Of the so called
"rariff Reform" movement Of which the
ex-presitlent Is the father and the late
Mr.. Mills was the chief exponent. 1t is
evident that this idea Of Tariff Reform"
Il exceedingly unpopular with certain
prominent Democratic bosses. Senator
Cormsn and David B. HUI are especially
opposed to this Issue and are using every
effort to subordinate Ii to the free coinage
OF silver. There Is every reason TO be
lieye that they will he successful for
they are evidently very much In the
Democratic saddle At the present time.
They have elected speaker who is
known To be in favor Of making the
free eoinsge of silver the leading issue
OF the Democratic party. To be sure he
has announced that be should take no
Backward step on Tariff Reform" but
thi. was simply political sop thrown
cut to bitterly disappointed faction Of
the psrty, which beheid the rapid decline
OF the Cleveland sun with IN concealed
anger ana resentment. The ex-president
and the .'issue' upon which he has
confidently expected to be swept
again into the presidential Office
have both been given q back seat
The big party bosses have so decreed
and it Is interesting to note that they
have thus far been able to carry their
paints. The sudden enthusiasm for
ffee coinage which has reechtiy been
developed by David hin is decidedly
s,kuifcsnt As is also the hol,iness with
which he proelaims this doctrine Of an
ansoand unstable currency in the Empire
State itself. The obvious purpose of
this move Is to overshadow 10 the very
home Of Mr., Cleveland the issue Of
tariff reform, by preaching the new
doctrine which the Democratic man

England and France seems mad pro-
the violence of the sea is only at the
surface, and that slight depth the
water is quiet and unmoved, save by
tides and currents. After what has
been achieved by engineers IN build
ing the Forth bridge and other great
works, there is nothing of insuperable
difficulty in bridging the English Chan
mel. Ii one pillar can be fixed, any
number can, for the sea bottom has
marvelously little variation of depth,
except where sandbanks have been
formed. The separation Of the British
islands from the Continent, by sub
sidence sufficient to allow the Channel
to be formed. is an event of very mod
ern geological times. The French en-
gineers, NM. Georges Hersent and
Renaud. give satisfactory reports of
their trials of the solidity of the chalk
sea bottom. As to the shallowness OF
the water, it has been said that there
IS scarcely spot in the Channel where,
| if st. Paups were planted, the
whole of the dome would not stand
above the sea-ievel. The sandbanks
would be brIdged over. The piers
would be 40 strong and high as to admit
of no risk from passing ships, while
there would be new series of electric
light beacons to mark the ooarses CT
traffic.
