rHE CONFESSION OF THE ENEMY.

Three hundred and twenty-eight Of four
hundred amendments proposed to the tariff
bill by the Democrats of the finance COM
mittee provide for new duties or increase
those already I'm the bill. The Wilson bill
passed by the House was distinctly a meas
ure to kill Northern industries and promote
the transfer of a large part Of our manu-
featuring to Europe. When 1t came to the
Senate another ex-confederate sub-commit-
tee. working on the same plan. gave pro-
iron ore and raw sugar. and to certain
Democratic trusts, notably the Whisky
and Sugar Trusts. but amended the House
bill to an extent that the author cannot
claim it as his. And now. ostensibly. the
same Senate committee has discovered
about four hundred mistakes in its own
work, as the presentation Of the German
amendments shows. In the Wilson bill
certain Southern industries, like rice, were
protected; in the voorhees, bill more South
ern interests and the Democratic trusts
were further protected. and now fla the
German bill the duties OF most Of the
schedules have been advanced and changed
from ad valorem to specific and compound
duties. Duties are placed upon nearly all
except wool. AS a rule the duties are not
so high, but some are higher. Why has
this been done? Because the Democrats
in the Senate cannot pass a strictly revenue
tariff bill. 1t is because every Democratic
Senator is a protectionist when 1t comes
to the special industries Of his own State,
with the exception of Voorhees,. Turpie,
and Palmer of Illinois. Louisiana Demo-
cratic Senator'S will not vote for a bill
which does not protect raw sugars. The
Virginia and West Virginia Senators were
not appeased until coal and iron ore were
protected. Hill. Murphy and Smith nave
stood out for protective duties on the
varied industries Of their States and. con-
~sequently, all the duties on the products
not for revenue. but for protection. The
most conspicuous duty for protection is
that upon sugars, and the most conspicu-
Gus increases are the duties on refined
sugar. But the point the Journal would
emphasize is that the Democrats IN Con-
gress, even the makers of the Wilson bill.
have confessed the utter impracticability
Of passing a tariff bill which shall be
wholly upon a revenue basis. Each sue
cessive bill is evidence that Democratic
managers are coming to realize more and
more that free trade in this country is a
barren ideality. suited only for campaign
purposes when the country is prospecting
under protection.

SORROWS OF THE LITTLE ONES.

youth to speak of childhood as a happy
period, and of the sorrows and troubles of
children as trifiing-of no Importance in

childish hearts. They ought to have better
memories than this. If they had they would
be better able to sympathize with the little

griefs were sometimes bitter. indeed. and
hard to endure. In some respects they
were even more acute than after sufferings,
for the latter. intense though they might
be. were sure to be modified to a greater
or less degree by reason and experience,
which counsel patience and teach r~esigna-

to measure the woes which darken their
skies and seem to them to end all the
worlds delights. II they realized how soon
row pass away their hearts would not be
so heavy, but the happy juvenile faculty
of forgetfulness is only appreciated by the
old. 1t is this transient nature OF childish
grief which makes the grief itself seem
light 10 those looking back at II, but to the
sufferers themselves 1t is not so. Proofs
Of its intensity are frequent enough. Here,
for instance. is a little Philadelphia girl OF
twelve years who drowned herself in the
river because her mother had petulantly
accused her of being a thief. the child
having spent for her own use a single
penny of some change intrusted to her.
The charge was a terrible one TO the girl;
she brooded over it for an hour, and no
doubt felt that she could never hold up her
head again for shame. Earth seemed TO
hold no compensation for such misery. and
so she deliberately ended her little life.
Who can say that her suffering was not
as intense as that felt by older travellers
along nfe's thorny way? There was no
proper relation between the cause Of her
act and the deed itself. but in that respect
she was not different from those who COM

know what death meant. but who does?
She was simply a human being over

DIR. STILLsON'S RETIREMENT.
Disagreement with the Central College
Faculty Results in His Resignation.

The announcement this morning of the
retirement of DR.. ]. 0. Stillson from the
faculty of the Central College of Physicians
and Surgeons will doubtless be received
with surprise in medical circles. For some
time, it appears there has been an unset
tied condition Of affairs in the college as
regarded DR.. Stillson and the faculty. This
apparent disaffection eliminated. last
night in a stormy meeting OF the
stockholders of the institution. 1t is
understood that a member of the
faculty arose after the transaction
of routine business and moved that the
resignation of DR.. Stillson be asked for.
The motion was put to a vote and car
ried. DIR. Stillson was present. and imme-
diately offered his stock, consisting of fifty
shares. for sale. The stock was at once
purchased by the stockholders and the
meeting adjourned

declined to discuss the matter, but IL was

A CASE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.

The Sentinel has facetiously undertaken
to make 1t appear that whatever rights the
colored people of Indiana have is the re
suit of the devotion Of Democratic legis-
lators to that race. The term facetiously
is used because 1t is not possible that the
Sentinel expects that any person having
the least claim to information will take 1t
seriously. The Sentinel must know that
every Democrat in Congress from Indiana
who voted at all voted against the PROPOSE
successive votes. preventing it's submission
to the States until Jan. 6, 1866, and that in
February. 1865. every Democrat in the In
diana Legislature voted against the amend
ment abolishing slavery. The Sentinel must
know that every Democrat in Congress
from Indiana, in June 1866, voted against
the proposition to make all persons equal
before the law. known as the fourteenth
amendment. and that every Democrat In
the Indiana Legislature, in January, 1861
voted against making the amendment a

does not, every man conversant with the
history of that period knows hat every In
diana Democrat in Congress voted against
the fifteenth amendment, declaring that the
right of citizens to vote shall not be de-
MED or abridged by the United States or
by any State on account of race or color"
Those who will take the trouble to consult
the journals of the indiana Legislature for
1869 will find that every Democratic Sena-
tor who was present when the roll was
called upon the ratification of this amend.
ment refused to vote. hoping to prevent
ratification, and that every Democrat in
the House. except two. resigned the day
before the vote was taken in order to de-
stroy a constitutional quorum. 1t is a mat
ter Of record that every Indiana Democrat
in Congress voted against the civil rights
bill, designed to carry out the spirit of the
fourteenth amendment. Not satisfied with
such action, the Indiana Democratic con-
vention OF 1870 denounced the action of the
Legislature and protested against Indiana
being counted for the fifteenth amendment.
During the war every Indiana Democrat IN
Congress voted against the bill to permit
colored men to carry the mails, to ride on
street cars in the District of Columbia and
to repeal the fugitive slave law. Indeed,
during the entire period that these amend
ments. designed to insure the abolition Of
slavery, the comforting of civil rights and
suffrage upon the colored man, were pend
ing. the Indiana Democrats In Congress
and the Legislature were their most per-
sistent foes.

Righteousness it will be telling next week
that Abraham Lincoln was a Democrat and
was supporting the Voorhees, Democracy in
Indiana.
