swallow the dose. The tariff for revenue
idea, that was the central one of the
platform, seems to have been eliminated
from the bill entirely. 1t is a tariff now
\ for votes and campaign contributions
the former to come from the people whose
industries have been protected, and the
latter from the Sugar Trust who will get
better lay under this bill than it has
ever enjoyed. In it's present form it will
probably have less disastrous effect
upon the country's business than in its
unamended form, simply because it is
less like the bill the Democratic party in
their convention demanded. There Is
some consolation in.thissperhaps, though
we are inclined to think it would have
been better for the country in the long
run if the Democrats had lived up to
their platform. Then the country would
have got an object lesson of the effect of
a purely revenue tariff which it never
would have forgotten, and which would
have stopped for generation at least all
agitation for that sort of a tariff. Now
if the new tariff doesn't work we'll, as it
probably Will not. it will be said it's fail
ure is due to departure from the reve-
nue. principle and the agitation for
trial of that principle will be renewed.
Doubtless the Democrats intended when
Congress met to construct tariff bill
which bore some resemblance to their
platform, but the elections kept soaring
them away from it further and further.

s. The Hon. Joseph H. Manley speaking OF
the attempted revival of Harrison, says:

|. The Hon. Joseph ii. Marley speaking of
the attempted revival of Harrison, says:
1t seems to me very probable that
Benjamin Harrison would accept the re-
nomination il he could get it; but | do
not see how that is to be brought about
He has been twice nominated, and once
not elected; and to nominate him again
would be contrary to the traditions OF
the Republican party, Gen. Grant, with
all of his prestige, and the earnest and
enthusiastic support of his old army
comrades, and with an army of Federal
office holders devoted to his interest
could not secure third nomination;
and, irrespective Of the man, that seems
to me to be principle which the Repub-
Iican party is not likely to ignore. 1t
has been suggested that Cleveland was
three times nominated; but Cleveland
has been an anomaly in our politics, and
tions are not found in the Repu blican
party. Mr.. Harrison has no such eDthu-
siastic following as Gen. Grant had and
do not see how he can look forward to
nomination for a third term, which that
distinguished soldier and statesman
could not secure. do not know where
Benjamin Harrison will get his follow
ing to secure the nomination. But there
are some indications which have come
within my knowledge that be would not
refuse nomination. His immediate
personal friends are now taking the
ground that it is too early to name a
candidate. They simply suggest that it
will be well for leading Republicans not
to commit themselves. John G. New
takes that position. The report that
the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette has
been purchased for the purpose of start
ing Harrison boom | know to be incor-
rect in some of its most su bstantial feat
ures. The statement of the fact that
| Stephen B. Elkins went into that news
| paper for that purpose is erroneous. He
made the investment. happen to know
| because the opportunity was deemed an
| advantageous one by him in a business
way, and because the field of the Gin
| cinnati Commercial Gazette lies largely
| in the country where he has great per-
| sonal interests, and possibly some politi-
| cal ambition. That investment was
| made for Stephen B. Elkins, and not fol-
| Benjamin Harrison.
In all probability Mr.. Harrison would
not have been nominated in 1892, but
| for the influence his friends were able
| to exert in the selection of delegates
through The power and prestige which
flowed from his occupancy of the presi-
| Dental Office. We do not believe he was
the popular choice of the Repu blican
party then. Much less is he likely to
be in 1896 when the popular wish is
| likely to control. We have no doubt that
Mr.. Manley's prediction will DC verified
when the convention meets and that Mr..
Harrison will not be nominated. Indeed
we believe that his friends long before
| that event will be SO thoroughly con.
WINGED of the hopelessness of his cause
| that his name will not be presented.

FOUR HUNDRED AMENDMENTS.

The tariff bill which suddenly dis
appeared some weeks ago and whose
wherea bouts since have been unknown
except to the favored few, reappeared
again in the Senate on Monday. 1t is so
much unlike it's former self that the
Democrats have ceased to refer to it as
the Wilson bill. and now call it the Cor
man BILL No less than four hundred
changes have been made in it since Cor
man carried it off. About+all of them
have been made with a view to making
it more unlike the bill described in the
Democratic platform than it was before.
AS the resemblance then was not at all
close, it is very evident that as changed
by German it does not resemble the plat
form at all. What German and his coad-
tutors have been doing to it chiefly is
putting more protection or-as the
Democratic platform has, it-ropbery in,
to it and making it more acceptable to
the Sugar Trust. 1t is said to be entirely
satisfactory now to the latter concern.
and as they are likely to make $50, 900,
900 out of it before next January il
would seem as they had excellent reason
to be pleased with it. German astutely
succeeded in committing the Democratic
caucus to it before it's contents were
made known, and SO it will command
the votes of all the Democratic Senators
except Hill, though some of them are
admitting privately that they have got
to hold their noses very hard in order to

with context and the tone in which they
were made, were in no sense alarming. u
The correspondent further adds that
MIR. Bicknell sis the beloved pastor of
one of the largest churches in Cam
bridge, and no one questions either his
pulpit power or his entire responsibility
for his utterances. He is respected by
all who know him on account of his
marked ability, his genuine kindness
and his sterling WORTH" Mr.. Bicknell
preached in Portland many years and
enjoyed the general respect Of the people.
His remarks as published undoubtedly
left painful impression on his
many friends here, and it will be q

he actually uttered.

bad showings and if the revival of bust
ness has begun it has not progressed
far enough to help them. For the
quarter ending March 81 the gross earn.
ings of the Boston & Albany railroad
fell off 1855, 037. This was more than
the previous quarter, when they fell off
but 100000. By big cut in operating
expenses the road was able to keep its
loss in net earnings down to $42, 273.
The Boston & Albany probably feels
the depression as little as any road in
New England, yet at the rate of the
lass quarter tie falling off of business
for the year will amount to over $1,000
600.

Massachusetts is inclined to try the
referendum plan which is in vogue in
Switzerland. Briefly stated the plan is
to refer laws passed by the legislature to
the people, the same not to become opera
tive until ratified by them. The legisla-
ture undertook to pass several acts with
this proviso, but the Supreme Court
declared that such a procedure would
not be valid under the existing constitu-
tion. The legislature has therefore
proposed a constitutional amendment,
and it has passed both branches. A
second legislature must ratify it, how
ever, before it can be submitted to the
people, SO that an actual trial of the
referendum is yet far off. But sooner or
later the experiment will be made.

squarely on the Democratic platform of
1892, and it adds:

The Argus declares that is stands
squarely on the Democratic platform of
1892, and it adds:
fDemoeratic Senators, no matter what
pressure is brought to bear upon them,
see tit to violate the party platform, the
Argus has no excuses to offer for such
action. We certainly are opposed to the
re-impositioD of any part of the duty on
raw sugar. This is not legslating in
the interest of the many, but in the in
terest of a few wealthy sugar refners.
Neither does the proposition of the SEN
ate finance committee to keep coal and
iron on the dutiable list meet the APP
proval of the Argus. They should be
made free of duty as the Wilson bill pro-
vides. But we can imagine in some de-
gree at least the sectional measure
backed by powerful lobby, that has in
1uenced the majority of the Senate
finance committee in preparing certain
of their amendments. Just such pres
sure was exerted on the majority of the
ways and means committee of the House,
yet that majority was strong enough to
resist the monopolistic lobbyists. Pity
the same cannot be said of the Senate
committee

melancholy it is to be sure, that the Ar
gus should be compelled to confess that

sit in senatorial seats have been false to

A FOUNDING.
Deserted on Dyer Street Residence Last
Night.

Last evening about nine O'Clock two men
rushed into the Police station one OF them
bearing in his arms a large bundle wrapped
in a soft white shawl. This man. and his
companion, refused to give their names to
the reporters. The bundle was unwrapped
by Mr. .Newcomb, the officer in charge of the
police signal system and revealed a little
baby, apparently in good health. and very
neatly and comfortably dressed. Pinned to
the robe was this note:
Please give this baby home. He comes
parents. He is two months old the 18th, of
the month. Take him in and care for him
and God will reward you.
Accompanying the baby, wrapped in the
clothing was bottle of milk. officer New
comb with skill which he declared was
born of long experience, hs ndled the child
and kept it in good humor. while he pro-
ceeded to warm the bottle of milk. The
child " ill probab bly, be sent to the Almshouse
unless some person sees fit to adopt him.
1t was said that the house where the child
was abandoned was located on Dyer street,
which runs from Franklin to Wilmot street.
The man who brought the child TO the
station said that but few moments before
he came his door bell rang, and answering
the bell he found the bundle on the steps.
His wife gave birth to a child about three
weeks ago and lost the babe, and whether
the parents of the child had heard of it, and
that was the reason for their leaving the
child on MS steps. or whether they selected
his house at random he couldn't say.
