Democratic Sentiment.

The resolutions of the democratic
conventions of Iowa and Florida en-
body the spirit manifested by demo
cratic conventions in Indiana and by
democratic mass meetings held in
Maryland. They indorse the presi-
dents letter to Mr.. Wilson and con-
denim the conduct of the senators who
are standing in the way of tariff re-
ductiou in order that the sugar trust
may be protected There is singular
of feeling among democrats
on this subject Not an authoritative
voice has been raised in approval of
the three sugar-trust senators in the
democratic press in democratic clubs
or in democratic conventions The
condemnation of the men who stand in
the way OF tariff reform is universal

eral prosperity.
When these results are realized they
must be credited to the rugged honesty
and answering patriotism of Presi-
dent Cleveland. He dared to assert
his influence when the welfare and
happiness of the country were placed
in jeopardy through senatorial treason
melted by the very agencies which it
is the aim of tariff reform to over
throw. As a representative of true
democracy and as the man who did
more than any other one man to place
it in national control, he asked that
the truths and the integrity of that
democracy be preserved, and that it's
compact with the people be kept. In
the strength and sincerity of his con-
victions he could not sit without pro-
test when a slightly diluted Mckinley
act was being offered to the people il
lieu of the sweeping reforms which
they had demanded and which had
been promised them. His act was one

A step Toward the Victory of an Hon
Tariff.

Step Toward the Victory OF an Honest
Tariff.
Speaker Crisp rendered service of
the highest value to the country. to
the democratic party and to the cause
of an honest tariff when he charged
the creation of the sugar trusts and
the other trusts to the republican
party. Republican protection created
nearly all the great trusts and mo-
nopolies-
In reply to the taunts and jeers of
the republicans, at the crisis of the
closing debate on the tariff, the
speaker, being on the floor. said: If
there is a sugar trust in this country
which is dominating legislation the
republican party created it And
though this bill does not destroy that
trust, as we wish it did, it takes away
more than one-half OF the protection
accorded to that trust 1t was a re-
publican trust which a democratic
congress had stripped in part OF its
power and of its enormous profits
The iron ore trust ard the coal
trust, equally, were republican crea-
tions- They were esta blished by re-
publican protection They would
have had no existence but for the re-
publican tariff, which empowered
them to rob the people by extortion-
ate prices for their products and to
suppress competition by the practice
of oppressive and unconsciOnable
methods.
Republican tariff history shows the
means by which the sugar trust was
created Under the tariff of 1888 the
duty was one cent and two mills per
pound for raw sugar and three cents
and five mills per pound for refined
sugar. The differential tariff by which
the sugar trust was created amounted
to two cents and three mills per pound
the difference between the duty on
raw sugar and the duty on refined
sugar.
The Mckinley tariff superseded the
tariff of 1883. 1t admitted raw sugar
free of duty, but gave the sugar trust
the protection of five mills pound OF
raw sugar.

Especial New York letter.

The number of New Workers who
have visited health and pleasure resorts
this summer has been smaller than for
many years past, notwithstanding that
the heat in giddy Gotham has been
simply frightful. The season has been
intensely hot, meteorologica1ly speak
ing, but financially it has been quite
chilly all over the country. According
to pat proverb: Winter sets in when
poverty begins" and this has great
deal to do with the strongly developed
sentiment that this year there is no
place like home" viii not elaborate

precisely what 1 mean, and the subject
Is a very painful one to most of US.
Among those who have discovered
that New York is a splendid summer

lem, where I, also, reside. The first
member of the family to arrive at this
sensible conclusion was old Pulsifer
Plumbottle himself. He, however, had
some difficulty in persuading Mrs. Pull
sifer, her three daughters, and that
gilded youth, Oscar Plumbottle. to
share his views on this subject. There
was clear majority against him, but
the rest of the family could not pass
the appropriation bill over his eeto.
This is the first year since they were
married that the Plumbottle family has
skipped its regular outing. During one
year of unusual financial prosperity the
family, after having summered in the
White mountains, wintered in Florida,
where the entire family came very near
being carried off by yellow fever, and
their pet dog actually was carried of
by an alligator.
The elder PlumbottlC is averse to the
annual outing. He has protested time
and again against the extravaganza

There Are No Signs of Peace Between tho
 Rival scnates.
 TRENTON, Jan. 23.-The Democratic sem ate opened with prayer and then took a re- cess for half an hour to give the conference committees from the two senates an oppor- tunity to meet. The Democratic members of thc-committee had agreed to put in writ ing their reply to the proposition of the Republicans made last week. The Repub- licans demanded that the credentials of the senators-elect be received and every one seated without question. The reply printed by the Democrats was a refusal of this de- mand in the following language:
 The senate of New Jersey. having given full consideration to the proposition that certain gentlemen should be admitted to that body on motion and without further examination of their rights than is embraced in an inspection of their credentials, submits the following propositions:
 First-That no member of the state senate can lawfully agree to vote to admit an appli- cant notwithstanding any protest presented against his admission It is. in the opinion of this body, the duty of a senator to vote against the admission of any one whom he deems not entitled to 8 seat. The senate cannot lawfully surrender its right to exaioine and pass upon the election returns and qualifications of it's members. To accede to the proposi tion pre- sented would be to say that if a citizen of Rus sia presented certificate of election he must without question be admitted to membership.
 Second-That it is the duty of the inducted senators of New Jersey to meet and proceed with the business of the state; that there can be but one state senate, which is already or ganized; that we should be happy to facilitate any steps taken to obtain adjudication upon the legality of our organization
 The conference committees from both senates were in session for nearly an hour, but there was merely an exchange of pleas antries after the written reply Of the Dem ocratic senators had been received.

 Neither of them would walk-in fact, the little wanderers were far too weary -so MT. Carver mounted one on each arm and carried them, limp and unre- sisting, through the streets.
 ''I'll have nurse for you, my young friends, before the world is day older" :" he said, grinding his teeth with impotent wrath as he deposited Pet and Tommy on the floor and went wearily to his household duties.
 'How are you now, Garry" he said about an hour afterward, throwing him self into chair by her bedside and fam ming himself with the newspaper he had laid there that morning.

 "Poor things" said Carry.
 "Poor me, should think" said Car yer irately. I had quite enough to do without lem. I've broken the plates, and melted off the nose of the teapot, and lost my diamond ring in the ash barrel. and cut my fingers with the carving knife"

 My dear Carry," said Peter penitent- ly, q have been brute. I'll have a cook and nurse and chambermaid here just as soon as can possibly obtain them You shall be drudge no longer. "
 A few minutes afterward the unskilled cook was scorching his whiskers over a gridiron covered with hissing mutton chops, which would alarm him by sud- denly blazing up into his face without the least premonitory symptom, when a light step crossed the kitchen floor and a little hand took the handle of the grid iron from his grasp.

Announces That He w1it Leave the Taner-
 nacle Pulpit.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-The Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage, at theclose of his sermon at the Brooklyn Tabernacle last evening, made the announcement that he intended to re- sign from the pastorage of the church, the resignation to go into effect on the occa- sion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of his taking charge of the Tabernacle. No in- timation of this had been given by Dr. Talmage, and the announcement was a surprise to the congregation.
 Dr. Talmage said at the close of his ser mon: II have an announcement to make which may be of interest to this congrega- tion. The coming spring I shall have been pastor of this church 25 years. A quarter of a century is long enough for any minis ter to preach in one place. At that anni- versary I will resign the pulpit, and it will be occupied by such persons as you may select.
 My plans after resignation have not been developed, but shall preach both by voice and through the newspaper press as long as my life and health are continued by the grace of God. After such long ties of affection, but I hope our friendship will be renewed in heaven"
 At the conclusion of his remarks Dr. Talmage nearly broke down. After trem- ulously pronouncing the benediction be burriedly left the church for home. When seen later at his residence, he refused to discuss the cause of his resignation. Dr. Talmage has recently shown opposition to the scheme of the board of trustees to have the congregation pay 10 cents admission to his church
