The old corvette Kearsage, which sailed from Port au Prince, Hayti, January 80, for Bluefields, Nicaragua, was wrecked on Roneadoor reef, February 9 The Rear sage has been continuously in the naval service for thirty-two years. She was built in Kittery, Me-, in 1861, and was commissioned the next year. Her great claim to fame, Of course, is her defeat of the confederate cruiser Alabama, off Cherbourg, France, on Sunday, June 19, 1864 She was recently assigned to the duty of blowing up dereliets between New York and the West Indies. The London Daily News, in a fattering leader on the Kearsage, says "The Kearsage deserved an honored place on the retired list of the navy, having had claims to national grat- itude only second to those of the consti- tuition. Her crew had nobler idea to fight for then than had the medley of mercenaries who crowded the Alabama. It was glorious victory" All the crew were saved.

A New York newspaper is responsible for the statement that the tailors of the metropolis have been made very weary by the tendency exhibited by male members of the ''Four Hundred'' to order their clothes from London makers, expecting to have them cut over in New York so as to present a respectable appearance. "We think it is adding insult to injury" said one tailor, ''for man to have his clothes made in foreign country and to bring them to us when defects are discovered. It is nothing but fad, anyhow, and there are houses in London that exist wholly and entirely by their American trade"
 It may seem triae hard for man who has sent to London for his clothes to be told that he must wear them as they are, fit or no fit, or alter them himself, but we must confess that our sympathies are with the American tailors who refuse to play second fiddle to MT. Poole. If cit izen of the United States wishes to have his clothes made in London he should be satisfied to wear them just as they are re- ceiyed

A bad record is being unearthed for Joe Shelby, just nominated by President Cleveland to be United States marshal for the western district of Missouri. Joe used to be confederate brigadier. Some body has been looking him up in the "Of- ficial Records of the Union and Confed- crate Armies" Volume Al of that publi- cation contains two reports, with the sig nature of Joe Shelby at the bottom of them, about raid made by Colenels Dob bin and Gordon under his orders upon what he calls 'sthe federal plantations near Helana" In one of these reports he says
 Cotton gins and cotton, hay, corn and oats, reaping machines and threshing ma- chimes, negro cabins and soldiers quar- ters were burned, torn down and de- stroyed. Yankee schoolmasters and schooImarms were taken from their little fiocks of gaping Africans and taught the secrets of rebel raiding; negro soldiers were shot amid the blazing rafters of their dwellings and 300 horses and mules, much clothing and supplies and 200 negroes brought safely off.
 The remarks here about "the secrets of rebel raiding'' is little vague. It is fully elucidated in the other report. There Joe Shelby says:
 They captured 300 mules, 200 negroes, quantities of goods and clothing, and kill ed seventy-five mongrel soldiers, negroes and Yankee schoolmasters imported to teach the young idea how to shoot.

house and the president can extort
from a hostile. undemocratic senate.
The coal senators, the iron ore sena-
tors, the sugar senators and the coll
lars and cuffs senator have repudiated
democracy. repudiated the platform of
1892. repudiated the popular instruc-
tions adopted at the ballot box. and
are determined to force on the coun-
try tariff dictated by trust deed. by
the monopoly combine and by and by
the republicans, or they will prevent
the passage of any tariff bill. These
recalcitrants and renegades are not
democrats. They are republicans,
bearing a false name and carrying
false colors.
These senators misrepresented their
states. the democratic CONSTITUENCIES of
the country and the body of the peo-
pie. They are bushwhacking detach-
ment of the party of trusts, monopoly,
protection and organized fraud. They
have betrayed the country. They have
been false to the duty which they were
instructed to perform.
If these false democrats shall be sue
cessful now in defeating reform tariff
legislation the result will not be
chargeable to the democratic party OF
the nation. 1t will be simply another
republican victory-a victory of the
party of trusts, monopolies. class legis-
lation. of corporate greed and extor-
ton, reinforced by group of sordid
and faithless politicians who have vic.
lated party allegiance and forfeited
the name of democrats.
This will be a calamity. But it will
be no reason for giving up the fight.
1t will be a reason for fighting The flu
ture battles of reform with increased
vigor, courage and zeal.
The people have been betrayed. But
the cause is not lost. The contest will
be continued. The faithless, the COW.
ardly, the trimmers and the traitors
will be driven to the rear.
This reverse will be retrieved. Bet
ter men will be clothed with the trust
to which these recreants were untrue,
and it will be discharged in the spirit
of the instructions given by the voters
to their representatives. - Chicago
