Cleveland on Tariff Reform.

New York, March 20.-The Brook
Ign Eagle says, editorially: "The
World newspaper is stirring up
Colonel Watterson and other people,
to say nothing of Colonel Bryan, fol-
he was a colonel once, by talking
about Grover Cleveland as a candi
date for President in 1904. Mr.
Cleveland, himself. has been talking
lately, but not about the Presidency
or any candidacy for ii, but about
Henry Ward Beecher as iis idea
hero, and about real tariff reform 81

has been more agreement on what h

real tariff reform than upon what
any other Democrat'has said"

Among the many interesting relics
OF the civil war is recently discovered
by United States dredgebost near
Jacksonville, Fla. This relic was in
the shape OF a 4.inch rifle shell. fully
loaded and in good condition. The
Florida Times Union, which tells the
story OF this find, says that 1t has
been recalled by veteran Of the civil
war period that during the invasion
OF the st. Johns river by federal gun
boats, a number OF shells similar to
the one found were sent at the boats
from battery below Jacksonville
and that the shell found is doubtless
one that fell short and went into the
river. The Times Union adds: "The
shell is in good state Of preservation.
1t is four inches in diameter and
wrapped with leaden band, placed
on it for the purpose of causing the
shell to make numerous revolutions
while going through the air in order
that it strike with great force and
discharge. Aboard the Winyah Bay
is a cannon ball that was sucked up
at Key West while the boat was en-.
gagged in clearing the harbor there
last year. This ball is loaded, and
on account of having All iron plug,
those familiar with such missiles have
been afraid to venture to open it,
fearing an explosion"

inquired Mr.. Spooner, that the

innocase appoint a negro to Federal
Office in the SOUTH"
Mr.. Money replied that there was
DO demand and no authority for it,
but it was the feeling in the South
that no negro, no matter what his
qualification may be, shall hold Fed

"The whole truth Of history" he
declared, "shows the utter incompe-
