DEMOCRATS MUST ACT TO
 CIPHER.

The Democratic tariff rcformers who favor an omnibus bill ought to postpone thsir bill until the second session of this Congress, and devote their attention now to perfecting the attack in detail. By doing this they can at once take the lead in the House. Their action will thorough ly anite the Democratic party if they use their energy in forcing the fight ing through series of bills each one of which will deal with separate phase of the question. The Repub- lie believes that all Democrats and many Republicans will support any and all of such bills Tn which dis tinct reduction is proposed.
 In advocating this plan of attack we have urged that the weakest not the strongest points of the Mckinley bill should be attacked first. But wherever the reduction of a prohibit tive duty is proposed by the Demo- crats of the House The Republic will heartily support the reduction, whether or not it would have advised a present attack at that particular point in preference to some other.
 In the tariff situation as it exists there is Il gross discrimination against New England in favor of Pennsylvania, while the agricultural States are much more grossly dis criminsted against in favor of both New England and Pennsylvania. In such situation it ought to be easy to avoid uniting the West in com mon cause with New England or with Pennsylvania. It ought to be easy to bring over the West to the support of reform and at the same time to divide New England and Pennsylvania, leaving on the Carne- gie class in the latter State the chief burden of maintaining the injustices of the Mckinley bill.
 The advantages of this plan of at tack seem so obvious to the Repub- lie that it will regret it very much if they are lost by too close adher- enee to the tactics of 1888, but in mere matters of method there is no ground for division among Demo crats. An aggressive movement for the reduction of the prohibitive du- ties of the Mckinley bill will unite all Democrats m enthusiastic sup port of the reduction, restoring the vigor and hopefulness which existed immediately after the November elections of 1890 and 1891.
 It is to be hoped that every earn est tariff -reformer will fall in with the plan of attack in detail if it is recommended by the Ways and Means Committee. If this is done, mistakes or shortcomings of the Ways and Means Committee can be corrected in a way that will strength cn the cause of tax reduction by par ty union instead of weakening It through faction, as might occur if there were division among House Democrats on matters of detail. l.-

LITTLE THINGS.

A good-by kiss is a little thing, With yonr hand on the door to 20. But It takes the venom out of the sting Of athoughtess word or cruel fling That you made an hour ago. A kiss of greeting is sweet and rare, After the toll of the day, But 1t smooths the turrows out of the care. And lines on the forehead you once called
 fair.
 In the years that have flown away. lis little thing to say, "You are kind" T love you, my dear" each night, But it sends a thrill through the heart, I find For love is tender. as love is blind, As we climb lifes rugged height. We starvo each other for love, carcss. We take, but do not give; 1t seems 50 easy some soul to bless, But We dole love grudgingly, less and less, Till lis bitter and hard to live.

New York a Democratic State.

New York a Democratic State.
 The New York Herald gives very clear insight into the methods employed by the Republicans of New York to keep the State Legisla- lures in their hands by the practical disfranchisement of large bodies of voters in certain districts. It says:
 We have said that the Legislature is Democratic. There is no question as to the assembly, and no doubt that under the recent decisions of the court of appeals in the contested election cases majority of the sena- torial seats will be filled by Demo- crats. It is true there are mysteri- ous rumors as to what the Republi- cans may attempt, but if they are wise they will see that they can do little but fllibuster and accomplish nothing in the end. The Democrats now have on their side the law as de- clared by the highest court of the State, and they are not very likely to be backward in taking advantage of it.
 First and foremost among the measures which will be brought for ward when the legislature meets next week will be bill for an emu meration on which to base a new ap- portionment of senatorial and assem- bly, districts. The achievement of this great cad will be cause for popular rejoicing. Representation at Albany to-day is based on the population of seventeen years ago. It is q matter of common GotOrieiN that thhs is not fair, just or c0n,titu tional representation. In certain districts the people have more and in other fewer representatives than

MADELINE JOYCE.

 But Madeline Joyce, leaning iron the open window, with her cheek idly supported on her hand, shool her head.
 No, l don want any, child"" l And the strawberry girl passed on her clear sbrill voice echoing faintel and fainter in the distance as she went.
 Madeline gazed after her with sad violet-gray eyes.

 "Another bill!" with an impatient lift of the eyebrows. Did you tel the man we had no money, Beat rice?"

 "She does not know-she is read. ing in the parlor; she will not let me mend the table cloth she says it is not work for ladies. Oh, Maddy what shall we do?'
 Madeline rose aud began pacing impatiently up and down the room, her white, slender hands clasped over her head,
 Hush, :" she cried, abruptly there is q ring at the bell. It is Mrs. Benjamin again. "Go tell her l am engaged-busy-gone out anything you please. No-stay- stay! Perhaps I had better see her after all. ."
 And Madeline went down stairs to the darkened room, where Mrs. Joyce sat in faded silk and darned lace, relic of the glorious past, with white, wasted hands in her lal and an embroidered ottoman under her feet,
 Ut is like a dream" Madeline said to herself, smiling impatiently as Mrs. Benjamin and her mother prattled on about the current topics of the day. And to think tha' there is nothing in the house for din ner! Perhaps Mrs. Benjamin vii ask mamma to dine, and Bee and l can send out for some biscuits. We can eat anything y
 And through her disjointed medi tations her mothers soft, sweet voice sounded, as voices sometimes sound when one is half sleeping half awake.
 "To the Lakes, with you? My dear Mrs. Benjamin, you are very kind, | am sure, and Maddy must use her own discretion about accep- ting.

Outbreak Precipitated BY Strikers
Attack On Negro
FATAL LOCOMOTIVE EXPLOSION
Wholesale Butchery of Babies in Aus
tralia-The English Cotton Strike
"A Robbers Big Raise

HOMESTEAD, Pa, Nov. l4-Not since
the famous 9Th of July have bullets
been so plentiful as they were yester-
day afternoon. Inside of twenty min
utes fifty shots were fired and Eleventh
avenue was in wild state of panic and
disorder. Rumors were plentiful of
persons being wounded and killed, but
the only ones seriously hurt apparently
are three strikers, McFadden, Jones
and Pritchard, all Of whom have flesh
wounds. Three negroes were also
badly beaten. The trouble all arose
from an assault on a negro workman
in the mill committed by a striker.
The assaulted and the assailant were
speedily REINFORCED by friends and a
general fight occurred, terminating
only when the negroes, who had taken
refuge in their clearinghouse and
barred the doors, were placed under ar
rest and locked up in Jail. OF the
eleven eolored men locked up seven
have cuts on their heads where they
were struck with missiles or clubs
Quiet reigns now but the feeling against
the nOn-unionists is becoming so bitter
that further bloOdshed is feared. The
strikers attacked three men on their
way to the mill this morning, but dep
uties arrested two of the assailants.
Sheriff McLeary is again on the ground
and if necessary he will increase his
force to maintain order.

READING, Pa, Nov. l4--An engine
drawing a train of empty coal cars on
the Philadelphia & Reading road, blew
up near Schuylkill early this morning,
killing five men, tearing up the tracks,
disInantiing the locomotive, hurting
machinery several squares distant and
scattering destruction all around. A
large crowd gathered from the sur
rounding country and got together the
remains Of the unfortunate railroaders
whose bodies were fearfully disfgured.
The killed are II. G. Allison, engineer,
William Mackey, fireman, William
Cowhey, extra engineer, William Ken
drick, conductor, William Boyer, extra

an increased prospect of the trouble be-
ing long continued. There are six mill
