IT is not uncommon for persons who have set their hearts on any radical reform and to it's promotion faithfully devoted all their energies to view their failure, if in any one material respect, with disgust, if not despair. In the first flush of disap- pointment they indulge in eXtrava- gant language and say things of which their cooler judgement must disapprove. A half dozen or so good Democrats of prominence are in this attitude regarding the new tariff bill, Their sorrow at what has been lost obseures their vision as to what has been gained. But this is not the philosophic nor the practical way Of looking at the mat ter. Though the bill is not an ideal measure, it frees wool, lumber, salt, hemp, flax, binding twine, agricul- tural implements and great num- Der of other important articles from custom duties. It reduces the tax on woolens iron 90 to 45 per cent. ; silk and silk goods, per cent; wood and wood work, 8 per cent. tobacco, F per cent. glassware, 28 per cent. ; coal and iron ore, B cents a ton; tools and castings, an average of 30 per cent; cutlery, an average of B per cent; metal wares generally, 9 per cent, and great many other things from 10 to 90 per cent. It im- poses tax on incomes of over $4, 900, thus making partial offset 10 the discrimination against the poor that have been features of every Repub- liean taritf. Notwithstanding it's shortcomings and concessions, the new tariff is great stride in re- form aud sets bright rainbow in the Democratic sky.

White Paint as Il Weapon.

A lively fracas took place on board
the New Jersey express train which
left Communipaw station, n. j., on
Saturday evening for Point Pleasant,
between H. w. Doutty, the general
real estate agent for the Central Rail
road Company, and f. S. Walling, a
prominent butcher of Keyport, n. J.
The train was in charge of Conduc-
tor William Jones, and when it left
Communipaw it was loaded with pas
sengers. Real Estate Agent Doutty
had three friends with him going to As
bury Park, and the four men occupied
two seats, which had been turned so
that they faced each other. One OF the
party left his seat for moment, and
Walling in passing through the car saw
the seat unoccuped and took possession
fit. Doutty tried to retain it for his
friend, and asked Walling to give it up,
but the latter declined, and then blows
followed a wordy war.
Walling weighs about 225 pounds,
while Doutty only weighs l33. Doutty
grabbed Walling and tried to pull him
out of the seat. Walling held fast. At
last Walling sprang up from the seat
and clutched Doutty by the throat, at
the same time, it is said by some of the
passengers, he drew bottle of white
paint from his pocket and brought it
down on Doutty head. a second bot
tie followed the first, and Doutty was
SO covered with paint that his own
mother wouldn't have recognized him.
His clothes were covered from head to
foot with paint and pieces of the broken
glass.
MANY of the passengers in nearby
seats also suffered from the paint and
glass, and their wearing apparel was
ruined. The seat cushions and the
floor were covered with the paint.
4 warrant was issued Saturday for
Wallings arrest, and Justice Redding,
of Red Bank, placed him under bond
to appear at the next term of court,
