The Washington Bureau of the New
York Tribune has made comparison Of
some Of the results Of the tariff legislation
of 1894 with those of the law it suppressed
ed, the review covering a period of two
years-the last twelve months of the tariff
Of 1890 and the first twelve months Of the
existing law. In a general way it is
known that the present tariff has failed to
yield sufficient revenue for the support Of
the Government, rendering bond issues
necessary and creating large deficiency,
while paralyzing business and running
home industries. Editorially the Tribune
says:
We firmly believe that every honest. in
telligent man who shall carefully study
the results Of the last year under the tariff
Of 1880 and the first year under the new
tariff and compare them will be irresisti-
bly, forced to the conclusion that the leg
islation of 1894 has been as disastrous in
its effects upon the country as it was
crude, ignorant Inconsistent and dishon-
est in its framing and enactment. In the
light OF years experience the act of
August Is, 1894, which President Cleve-
land failed formally to approve, but which
he lacks the courage to veto, appears
worse-much worse-in every respect
than it did when he denounced it as an act
of party perfidy and party dishonor.'

Space and time will not permit of ex-
ttnde d editorial comment on Tuesday S
elections; and, fortunately, the returns
speak for themselves. There is nothing
to explain: nothing to regret. The mag
nitllde of the Republican victories every
where exceeds expectations. The Solid
South is broken. Bossism is rebuked,
Honest money is endorsed. Tammany
alone survives the total wreck of Demo-
cracy. kentucky is the only doubtful
State, and with the election machinery in
Democratic hands will probably be count
ed On that side. The moral victory,
however, will remain with the Repub-
licans, and the State Will yet be trans
ferred to the Republican column. The
writer is specially interested in the
Republican victory in Maryland, having
been personally cognizant of earlier, and
futile, revolts against bossism in that
State. The Baltimore Sun is entitled to
much credit for its vigorous war against
Boss German, and no doubt contributed
largely to bring about result which will
cause all friends of good government to
rejoice.

AUGUSTA, Nov. 3. Last July man calling
himself DIR. VIM. Hammond located in
Halowell, where he soon built up large
and lucrative business. Last Friday Officer
Bassett of Franklin, n. H., appeared and
after positively indentifying Hammond as
the man wanted at Franklin for marrying an
estimable lady and robbing her Of a large
amount Of money and property and deserting
her, endeavored to effect a settlement of the
debt claim against the doctor. Hammond re-
: fused to recognize the officer and denied all
knowledge of the charges. Not having the
necessary papers to arrest him the officer
was unable to take Hammond, who jumped
town saturday. His indentifcation by Off
Ger Bassett and his every appearance and
habits. agree with the description OF one
"Rev." or "Dr." William Hammond known
in many parts Of the world as a noted crook
and wanted in many places for crimes and

In an address opening the Edinburg
Philosophical Institute, Mr.. Bayard
won high praise by his elegant adj
dress. but there has been much criti-
cism of the following extract:
"In my own country | have witness
ed the Unsuitable growth of form OF
socialism styled protection, which has
done more to corrupt public life, to
Danish men of independent mind from
public councils, to blunt the publlc
conscience and to lower the tone of
national representation than any 9th
er single cause"
1t has been objected that, while it
would have been perfectly proper for
Mr. Bayard to have made this state
ment in America, he was guilty of
breach of good taste if not of some
thing worse, to have denounced a theo-
nv held by one half of the American
people. The New York Herald thinks
Mr.. Bayard improperly used his great
office to disparage his own country by
asserting that zone half of the Ameri-
can people are welded to a policy
which is corrupt and corrupting.
When Ben Butterworth was in Con-
gress, though a Republican, he was
outspol<en in his denunciation of the
Mckinley tariff. Afterwards, when as
a member of the Worlds Fair Commits
sion, he visited England to enlist the
interest of that country in the, Expo
sition, Mr.. Butterworth criticised the
Mckinley act with the same severity
he had employed at home. Senator
Lindsey, of Kentucky, who was pres
ent, was surprised at Butterworth's
TRADE against the law, and though
Democrat, said to Butterworth:
Look here, Butterworth, you are
Republican and | a Democrat and
free trader and an ex-confederate sol
der but by -, want you to under
stand, old fellow, that | don't come
abroad to apologize for or criticise the
laws of my country
According to Senator Lindsey's code,
the structures on Mr.. Bayard are just.
