have a selfish interest in extreme pro-
lection. 1t is also true, we believe,
that the wool market has been af-
fected by the prospect Of that com-
modify being added to the free list. Tue
product of this year has sold slowly
because manufacturers buy only in
small quantities, hoping for a drop in
prices.
But the tariff idea has not been
prominent enough to begin to ac-
count for the state of things we find.
Besides, the trouble began at the
wrong end. The reductions and
stoppages of work in the factories did
not come first. but last. They are
now occurring as the results of the
panic. They did not precede it as it's
aus 1t began in the banks and in
the brokers' offices. For some reason,
money was locked up by those who
held it, Buying stopped because no
n had money to buy, and credit
was suspended. and now industries
arc paralyzed-not because they fear
the tariff. but because their markets
are either glutted or somnelent.
We believe the tide has turned. 1t
looks as if confidence was beginning
to revive a little. The approach of
the session of Congress, SO far from
creating fear, appears to be allaying
it, and if the Republican papers will
only stop hammering credit for cam-
paign purposes. we may hope to see a
general revival of business in a few
weeks. We have no idea but what
every mill in the country will be hum
ming as merrily as ever before Christ

FOR A CART HORSE PARADE.
The Showing Jersey City Would Make
in Such a Spectacle.

The Showing Jersey City Would Make
in Such a SpectacIe.
The Rider and Drieep, that excellent
New YORK authority on all matters per-
taiaing to the horse, is advocating a cart
horse parade in that city, similar to the
one held in Londen each year. These
parades have been %singularly successful
in Loudon, and has done much to pro-
mote ths wise u humane treatment of
| the cart horse. They are looked upon as
one Of the fashionable fads OF the season.
and are always witnessed BY crowds, in-
Guiding royalty and the mobility. They
also provide a healthful recreation for
the thousands of truck and cart drivers
ana stimulates them to better care aud
treatm eHt OF their horses.
AT the last London parade 596 horses
were entered aud and 4S3 drivers conf
peted while $1,000 was distributed in
prizes. Ii such a parade were held in
much TO the attractions of the spectacle
and no doubt capture several of the
prizes. There are numbers of magnif-
cent specimens of that particular species
of horsenesh known as the cart horse in
this city. The four massive grays which
pull the Pennsylvania freight cars
through the street would endanger the
chances of the Others for the prizes, The
grays which pull the baggage crates OF
the same company would also maze IN
excellent showing.
IL the stables Of the Adams Express
Company on Montgomery street, the
Wells Fargo Company on Montgomery
street and the United States Company on
Eighth street are many fine draught
horses which would show up we'll IN the
parade.
Richard Grant. the hoop pole dealer;
the sugar house t~Fueknlep, Charles
Somers and other individual carters also
own beauties in the cart horse line,
which, If entered. would make the Jersey
City section one of the features Of the
nnrana.

Mr.. Halieron's Miscellaneous Sermon.

Mr.. H%alleron's Mischievous Sermon.
The Rev. David Haneron might be
useful if he would only be rational.
but it is his misfortune to be a wild
unreasoning fanatic, and as such he
does more harm than good to any
cause he espeuses. He preached a
sermon yesterday upon the Irwin
Gamblers" by which he meant the
race tracks and the policy business.
That is all right. He is entitled to
his opinion regarding horse racing
He has a right to hold it and express
it, and other people have a right to
differ from him i'll greater or less de-
gree according to their own ideas. We
have no fault to find with him for as
sailing the race tracks if he wants to
do so.
But we consider that he does a good
cause much harm by outrageous at
ia cks upon gentlemen OF the highest
character, merely because they be-
long to the same party that Bob"
Davis claims to belong to. 1t is cal
culated to shake peoples faith in
the bona fdes of an attack on
Bob Davis when they find men
whose names are synonyms OF
uprightness and responsibility in
volved in the common censure.
People begin to wonder whether the
true motive of the attack is a hatred
ofthe policy game or desire to injure
the Democratic party, OF whether the
speaker is not merely giving rein to
his inclinatiens towards sensation
alism. In our judgment, a tight such
as this of the decent element against
Bob" Davis should be very eonser-
vativeiy conducted, and we think Mr..
Halleron is distinctly doing harm by
stretching out hitting a head whef
ever he can reach one.
Just at present Mr.. E. F. @. Young.
DR.. McGill and other democrats of
high standing are trying to reform
the party and cur politics in general
by forcing Davis into a subordinate
position. They are trying to drive
out the thug element and bring
the thoughtful and honest demo-
Gratis of the city into con
troll of the party councils and ergani-
zation. The task is not an easy one,
Tor the thug element is well drilled,
and Davis, it must be admitted, is a
consummate leader. both bold and
cunning. Is it not a trifie unserupul-
Gus to throw difficulties in the way of
those who are trying to effect a re-
form by ~discrediting their efforts in
the eyes of the people whom they
are crying to rally to aid in the good
work.
Perhaps that is Mr.. Halleren's de-
sign. Perhaps he would prefer to
have a corrupt democracy. So it

CANNIBALISM AT SEA.
THREE SAILORS sUBsIsT 1e DAYS
ON HUMAN FOOD.
One of Four Selected by Lot to Die
That the Others Might Live.
The Victim stransled and
Eaten Raw.

HAMBURG, Jan. 31.-For 16 days three
sailors rescued from the Norwegian ship
Thekla subaisted on human flesh. The
three strangled their fourth companion
and lived on raw strips of meat cut
from his corpse. From the time of their
rescue until today the three unfortu-
mates had been insane from their suf-
ferings in the rigging of the laundering
ship. Two of them recovered sufficient
ly today to tell the story of the Thekla's
voyage.
The Thekla was in heavy weather
from December I'd, when she left Phila-
delphia. Her decks were flooded almost
constantly, the deck houses and rails
were swept away and the steering APP
paratus was broken. When it WAS
found that there was no hope of bring
ing the ship into port, the master, mate
and eight seamen got away in boat.
The other boats were smashed by the
waves before they could be lowered.
Nine men were obliged to remain in the
rigging. They were unable to get food
from below, and five of them were made
insane by exposure and jumped over
board.
The other four remained aboard from
December 22d till January 7th, the day
of their rescue. On the thirteenth day
lots were drawn to determine which one
of the four should be killed and eaten.
The lot fell twice in succession to
Dutch sailor and he was strangled and
devoured raw by the other three. The
only drinking water the eeamen got was
the dew they licked from the ropes.

Gladstone's Home Rule Bill Denouncet

Gladstone's Home Rule Bill Denounced
as Worthless.
New YORK, Jan. 3l.-An address was
tonight issued to the Irish people by
"The Irish National League of Amer
ics." In speaking OF the home rule bill
to be introduced in parliament by Glad
stone, it says; "We have carefully
studied its provisions, and are
of the opinion that the measure
is a mere mass of legal verbiage
intended to give no satisfaction to any
party. Even should the bill pass, it
would only place Ireland on still lower
level. We stand today at the parting of
the ways betwixt resistance and concil-
iation. We have advised the latter
until patience has ceased to be
a virtue and further temporizing become
q crime. We advise the formation of
clubs wherever there are Irishmen hon.
estly desirous OF improving the condition
of Ireland. We call on you to join with
US 80 we may be able to round out the
century by the fulflment OF our hopes !"
