The Democratic Position.

A discussion has arisen between the
Atlanta Constitution and the Richmond
Dispatch, two of the most prominent and
intelligent Democratic Journals of the
country, as to the position of the Demo-
cratic party on the tariff. One would
suppose that the tenets of the party had
been sufficiently defined to be understood
by all, and especially by such minds as
control these great journals, leaving no
room for cavil, doubt, or contrariety Of in-
depreciation. The position of the party on
the tariff has not been changed, whatever
opinions may be entertained of the language
of the Chicago platform. That position is
the same today as it has always been-a
tariff for revenue, with such incidental
protection as the levying of such a tariff
will afford The revenue annually required
by existing legislation, is enormous, le-
gacy left to the country as a part of the
blessings of Republican domination. A
tariff that will bring into the treasury an
nually $500, 900, 900, in round numbers, is
necessity laid upon the Democratic party
by its Republican predecessor. In levying
such tariff, incidental protection is in
separable from it, and may be given to GER
tain home industries, without in the
least doing violence to the strictest con-
struction of the Chicago platform, which
declared protection unconstitutional and
pledged the party to tariff for revenue
only Revenue is the object. Protection
is the incident, and protection can be
afforded without violating the object. That
is the ancient and time-honored position
of the Democratic party on the tariff, from
which there has been no departure, the
acceptance of which will enable these two
distinguished journals to reconcile their
differences in perfect accord with the Chi
cago platform, and also in accord with the
platforms Of all the predecessors OF the
Chicago convention.
The Democratic party must redeem its
pledges to modify the tariff. 1t cannot
stultify itself 1t cannot practically ad-
nit that all that was said and published
during the presidential canvass of 1892
on the tariff revision was mereclap-trap,
uttered for party effect, and not meant
to be followed up by Legislation for
the relief of the people. Such an inglor-
ious ending of the memorable struggle
which gave us both houses of Congress
and the Executive, would overwhelm us
with deserved defeat and humiliation as a
party. 1t is not to be thought of for a
moment The repeal of the Sherman act,
and the modification of the Mckinley tar
if, will be the first and highest duty of the
Democrats in extra session of Congress
assembled.

Collector of Internal Revenue.

President Cleveland, upon the recon.
mendation of Senator German, has APP
pointed Hen. Murray Vandiver, of Hayre
de Grace, Collector Of Internal Revenue
for the Maryland Delaware district. Mr..
Vandiyer has served Il number of terms in
the House of Delegates and was Speaker
of the last House, and has been Secretary
of the Democratic State Central Commit
tee for several years. He is careful
business man and will make an excellent
collector. The Sun and Ne,os won't like
the appointment, but Democrats through
out the state will cordially endorse the
selection. To be consistent they should
denounce the appointment and severely
criticise the President. They proclaimed
that upon the selection of collector of in
ternal revenue, the first Maryland appoint
ment of importance to be made, the Presi-
dent would define his own position--whether
he would recognize the Democratic leaders,
or listen to the prattle of mugwumps and
their organs. They contended that Mr..
Cleveland ought not to pay any more at
tention to the recommendation of Senator
and Representative than to any other indi-
vidual that the seeking of public position
for their constituents, was no part OF
the duties of Senators and Representa-
tives, and that their interference in such
matters was both officious and offensive,
and the President would so regard it.
Further, they said Mr.. Cleveland was bent
upon smashing the Democratic organiza-
tion-they called it machine-everywhere,
and they got themselves to believe that he
would be particularly hostile to Mr.. Cor
man and other prominent Democrats of
Maryland, and were happy. They even
published columns to prove that there was
no use nor excuse for party organization,
and that the distribution of patronage to
party workers as means of strength
ening the organization was an outrage on
decency All this and much more they
said, and to be consistent they should
criticise the President by the standard
they have set up.
The Ne'5s may do so, but the SIN is
not courageous enough, not honest enough.
1t had time on Thursday to interview a
mugwump who expressed his disapproval
of the Presidents action, but not enough
to make even a line of editorial comment
in yesterdays issue.

Mr.. Cleveland has appointed Charles
W. Dayton postmaster of New York city.
Mr.. Dayton is a member of Tammany, and
that organization is happy. He appears
to be man of high character, and the
mugwumps are happy also. And Mr.
Cleveland ought to be happy, too, in being
able to select a man for the important po-
sition whose appointment is agreeable to
such aniippdal people as Tammanyites and
mugwumps.

Queer Cases to Be Unearthed.

The work of re-examining all the pensions
issued under the act of 1890 will begin soon,
and it is expected some queer cases will be
unearthed There is one case that has come
10 the attention of the officials accidentally,
in which Assistant Secretary Bussey had re.
yersed the action of the pension Office and
granted pension of six dollars per month to
n man whose most severe disability, as shown
by the medical examination, was the pres
ence of two corns on his great toes. There
was no evidence of his inability to perform
manual labor, and it is probable his case will
he one of the first to be taken up by the de
nartnent and re.examined. There will be
no stoppage of pensions without re exam
ination Of the case and no man will be done
any injustice, but it is probable that when
he department has looked into the case Of
Ike man with the corns on his toes his pen.
sion will be stopped.

What Might Have Been.

An interesting incident of the career
of the great Napoleon has been brought
to light by Professor Rambaud, who has
just been rewarded for his History of
Russia with the cross of the Legion of
Honor. Bonaparte, as is well known, was
at one time Disguised with the slowness
of his promotion and entertained serious
thoughts of directing his talents into other
channels. Now M. Rambaud tells us that
Napoleon applied for service in the Rus
sian army, but that the petition, which
he had addressed to Zaborowski, was re-
jected, as Catherine II would not admit
foreign officers on the same standing as
that which they occupied in their own
country. Napoleon would have had to ac-
cept an inferior rank, and this he refused
to do. If Professor Rambaud be correctly
informed, and if Bonaparte had taken
service in Russia, the whole course of the
history of the century would have been
changed, and a whole vista of curious pos-
sibilities would have been opened.-Lon-
don Telegraph.

Merely a Matter of Money.

A very eminent Philadelphia, now de-
ceased, had two daughters married in an
other city. One of these ladies was very
fond of society and of having good time.
On one occasion her husband made a trip
to Philadelphia and saw her father and
told him that really there was such
thing as going beyond moderation, and he
feared he would be compelled to break up
and send the daughter back to Philadel-
phia to the parental home. To this the
old gentleman responded in his quiet way
that he was very sorry, as he was just on
the point of making arrangements to set
tie quite sum of money upon his daugh-
ter, realizing that he was growing old, and
that it must be difficult for her to sustain
her social position adequately.
Upon hearing this decided change is
said to have come over the complaining
husband. He had to acknowledge, he said,
that she had many fine qualities which
could not be overlooked, and, although she
had been great trial to him, yet if the
father really felt this great interest in her
he, as her husband, would try to overlook
her eccentricities and bear with her little
longer. He did, and nothing more was
heard of the matter.-Ph Philadelphia Times.
