The Tariff question will tout, "flown'.
It has maile its'- appearance sereral
times Hi nee the session besran nl unex
pected times and plar-es. Senator Mor
rill intrtianeed it with tlie same speeen
he has maifeforabout twenty sueeessive
years. Suimtor Bock,, who is heartilv
in favor-of ' radieal reduetion of cus
toms (luting, .fmswered- the. Senator
from.'Vennoit i 4 sneecH in .which- he
quotea Secretary Maiminsr, Senator
Sherman, and the Bible iti support of
free trade, or "nitr trade." He quoted
what Senator Sherman had onee said
in advocacy of. th Utmost freedom of
intercourse between nations. ,
The Ohio Senator next took the floor
to answer the remarks of the able Ken
tuckian. but his SDeeph "was Simply nn
arraignment of the Democratic party.
Mr. Sherman is workinir with his usual
adroituexs "and with more energy tnan
any of the . other Republican aspirants
tor nomination at the JNationai c.onven
tinn In i 1888. He has never forgiven
Gen. Garfield for having gotten the
nomination at Chicago; when hex
pected It himself. ' '
Wliile 1 many ; Democrats;' seem' to
think that Mr. Sherman is a strong
man with his. party, the truth h that
his Republican associfttes do not like
liim.i Ho i? not a man whom anybody
could like without a great effort. As
m the ease of Senator Edmunds, any
liking for him must be an acquired
taste, lndped there Is such acompnea
tinrv of dislike tvn1 hatreds and old
grudges among the Republican aspirants
that not many men ot real eminence in
the partv are solicitous for the nomina.

have come in to stav for a long time.'1!
Kefurning to the Tariff, It spemn now
to he a foregone conclusion that the two
opposing 'furwa f n Omigress wilr cross
swords on this Issue during the winter,
Both sides are in earnest An Ohio

The Tariff reformers and their appo
nents have been consnltine with- each
other, and it is thought another effort
for Tariff reform will be made this
week. Speculation upon the probable
result of that effort would be mere
wild conjecture, Whether Mr, Morrir
son's tax-renucing measure joineo. wun
Mr. Hewitt'a'i.CMstonis-administratinn
measure will pass, or whether one - will
pass withrfltytytt? rotherj'Sir whffher
Home substitaU .for' I he one or for both
will pass, .jr , whether every Tariff
proposition' win oe rejeown, it ih initios
Hible to say. At present the proposition
to abolish the internal revenue taxes on
whisky and tabacco seems f he most
formidable rival of Mr. Morrison's
propsition to reduce customs duties arid
to extend,' the list of articles that shall
he entitled to free entry. ' -
The Maine Representatives in Con
gress are all Republicans and so they do
hot indulge in any very fervent praiae
of tlio pnl)llslied correspondence be
tween our Department of State and the
.British Foreign OflW in regard to the
fisheries question. The only fault they
have to find with 'it, however, is .that
the storm from the State Department
did not start sooner. They agree that
both Secretary Bayard apd our own
Minister to London are on the right
track now., , j. i ).,! v
The course adopted by the? Secretary
of State in sending the flaheriea porres
pondence to the House of Representa
tives i nstead of to the Senate, as is usual,
was in reproof of Senatorial discourtesy
to the State Department.' Last sum
mer, without gathering faqts, the Sen
iite committee on Foreign Relations as
mimed hostile attitude to Mr Bayard,
and proceeded to investigate -ths-fisht
cries trouble on the assumption that he
was not doing his duty in the matter.
Now tlie correspondence proves that
Mr. Bayard -was closely attentive to it.
and zealous in maintaining just claim
of the 'United States. - All of thin the
Senate Committee could have learned
bad it not been more anxious to find
iinlitical capital than, to he fust and

In orler to lenrn fmniethtng as t the

J. J. Johnston of thin place has perfect

from petroleum o.- I" can not vouch
for the accuracy of some of the state
merits you urny have seen in print In
reference to Mr. Johnston's iliHoovery,
but give you uch facts as I . anv ac
quainted with, togetherwith the claims
of the patebtee. Gas hy Mr. Johnston's
nroctss is formrn by passing air through
crude petroleum' contained", in somp
half dozen cast iron cylinders. This is
done by an air pump operated by steam.
Alter pnssing ttirouirn tlie cynuders.
the airT-now converted into gas is
conducted into a gasometer and is
ready for use. The apparatus is simple,
and Aiiitu inexpensive as compared
witn the cost .of works tor the manu
facture of coal gas. In illuminating
and heating power it has been pro
nounced .. ny practical men, manufac
turers and others, who have witnessed
the tests, ns superior to , natural gas.
The Inventor-claims that it is Hie
cheapest fuel yet discovered and that
it. can he made otn post of from one to
two cents per l.flOO cubic feet. With
his little experimental works in this
place, (cost ng perhaps not over $1,000
he claims he can manufacture 1,000
cubic feet of gas per minute, and that
coal gas works of an equal capacity
would cost $1,000,000.' His apparatus
and ail arrangements for making the
gas, occupy but little room, and could
be set up in the, rear of any business
block, doing away with the necessity of
laying long and expensive mains, and
avoiding, to a large extent, the loss and
danger from leakage.
Mr. Emerson, saw manufacturer at
Beaver Falls, Pa., was here last week
witnessing the testa of the heating ca
pacity of the gas, and was so favorably
impressed with it that ho immediately
secured the right to use It, and will im
mediately construct the apparatus for
making It, discarding the natural gas
he is now using. Mr. Disston. of Phila
delphia, leading member of perhaps
the largest saw manufacturing estab
lishment in the United States, was also
here last week investigating Mr. John
ston's process. He also secured the
right to use it, and will introduce it in
to his extensive works as soon as the
apparatus can be constructed, which
he expects will be about Christmas nf
the present year. The actions of these
two leading manufacturers may be re'
trarded as important testimony as to
tne merits or Mr. Johnston's discovery.
The above ore some facte in- rearard to
Mr. ('.'Johnston's greased air," na the
Pittsburg papers factiously call it. and
I give them to you aa an observer who
has no interest in the matter financi

other passengers of what was going on
and told them to secrete their money.
This they did in various ways, giving
most of it and their diamonds to several
ladies aboard. Miss Kate Haas of FU

valuables. Mrs. Chambers of Pottsdam,

As thi train sped along-in the titghf,
with drowsy passengers outstretched
upon the seats, the conductor was ob
served frequently; peering out of the
frosty window into the darkneas. The
night was black.' and nothing could be
seen but a sheet of snow over the shad
owy landscape, and yet the conductor
shaded his eyes with his two hands and
held his facea weary looKing tace n
was, too close to the window-pane. i
"Looking to see if your girl is awake
yet?'" Inquired an inquisitive passenger,
with aeoarse laugn.
The conductor looked around and
shuddered, as with a husky voice he
replied simply, "yes."
And then the inquisitive passenger
.became garrulous and familiar. He sat
down beside the conductor and poKed
him in the ribs as he lightly said: "Ah,
I see. Going to get . married and quit
the road. Going to marry a farmer's
daughter. Worth much?"
"She's worth a million to me."
Further remarks in a; similar Vein
did the passenger make, but the con
ductor deigned no more replies. Sud
denly the whistle of the locomotive
gave a long, low moan, the conductor
stuck his eyes still closer to the window,
seemed to fasten hisgaze upon some ob
ject in the darkness, and then fell back
in his seat with a cry of despair upon
his lips.
The Dassengere gathered round to in
quire the nature of the trouble,when the
oraKeman assisieo nis cnier 10 rise aun

ductor's face was a white as the snow

grief. '

on his return; "it's a bad night for him.

Why Noi American Mail Steamers?
We are to, have a compact, small,
and, we hope, effective new navy; and
that is a gool thing. The sooner we
get the new men-of-war built, armed
and ready for a cmle the better. ,
But why stop there? Why should
not Congress appropriate say twelve
millions to build ten or a dozen steel
mall and . passenger steamers of the
class of the French Bonrgogne. or the
German Werra, orthe English Umbria?
Only faster than these rather than
slower twenty-one knot bliips they
ought to be.
Tlie vessels of such a fleet could carry
the mails from Moutauk Point to Mil
ford Haven, and make 'much otticker
time between America , and Europe
witli mails and passengers than has
ever been made yet.
They should be, carefully built to
meet all the requirements of the .Navy
Department as to efficiency as cruiser
in case of war. They .should therefore
be stanch and strong ns well as fast,
and the construction of their hulls' and
engines would give a new start in the
best way to shipbuilding in this coun
try. We have no doubt the Secretary
of t.he Navy thinks his hands. full al
ready with the new war ships author
ized; but In our belief he would find It
easier to huild these and have them up
to the highest mark if he had a dozen
first class mail steamers to build also,
because so large a mass of work would
stimulate the energy and invention of
our ship and engine builders.
Such ships as we sneak of should be
nfficered and manned by the United
8"ates navy, thus giving 'our naval of
ficers employment in work where they
would become familiar with sea service
in modern vesselsand where they would
feel the competlon of rival lines.
If thegnvernment furnished the ships,
there is no doubt that a private com
pany would be found to run them, giv
ing proper and abundant security to th
government for their preservation and
a fair return for their use. Mr. Corhin
proposed some time ago to run a line of
large, fust and in every way first class
steamers between Montauk Point and
Milford Haven. If Congress will now
authorize the hntlding of such n steam
fleet, no doubt Mr. Corhin and compa
ny would run them. Here is a chance
for Congress to help our shipping inter
ests, and that just when the British
post office and the English companies
are quarrelling. ... ,. , ,
' Our government, in any arrangement
It might make with a responsible com
pany to run such a fleet of steamers,
would of course reserve the right to take
control of them and use them for naval
purposes the moment we should he in
volved in war. The best naval authori
ties of Europe eonear In saying that
snch ships would make ideal cruisers of
the modern 'Alabama type, and every
body admits that such cruisers would
be our main reliance for attack should
we ever be. so unfortunate as to be in
volved In a war. Y, Herald.
The best medical writers claim ' that
the successful remedy for nasal catarrh
must be non-irritating, easy of applica
tion, and one that will, by Its own act
ion; reach all the remote sores and ulce
rated surfaces. The history of the ef
forts to treat catarrh during the past
few years obliges us to admit that only
one remedy has completely met these
conditions and .that is Ely's Cream
Balm. This safe and pleasant remedy
has mastered catarrh as nothing else
has ever done, and hoth physicians and
patients freely concede this fact. The
more distressing symptoms quickly
yield to it. 2t
