TAPPING THE WIRES.
Ia the Senate yesterday the credential* of
General Mahone were presented. A num
ber of conference reports were submitted
and adopted. Mr. Windon addressed the
Senate on the resolution In reference to the
isthmus water ways. The Japanese Indem
nity bill was taken up and laid over, and
the Senate, after insisting on Its amend
ments to the river and harbor bill, ad
lourned.
The House considered the sundry civil
bill and finally passed it, together with the
isthmus coaling stations amendment, for
which the support came mainly from the
Republican side. A parliamentary discus
sion arose on the motion of Mr. Tucker
to take the funding bill from
the Speaker’s table. Mr. Carlisle
was finally recognized to raise the question
of “consideration” on the bill. On motion
of Mr. Reagan, the House refused concur
rence in the Benate amendment* to the
river and harbor bill. The House then
took a recess till evening to bold the memo
rial exercises of the late Fernando Wood.
The Dublin correspondent of the London
Time* reports that the organization of the
Land League is weakening. Secretaries
and treasurers of local branches are resign
ing. The transfer of the League funds to
Paris Is said to produce dissatisfaction. The
payment of rents Is becoming more general
from day to day and the serving of pro
cesses easier. He predicts that if the Im
provement continues, the “semblance at
least,” of authority will be made manifest.
Five visitors en route to the Mardi Gras
were Injured, some of them seriously, by
the wreck of a sleeper on the Montgomery
and Mobile Railroad.
The students who left Mt. Bt. Mary’s Col
lege have returned. The cause of their con

The severest storm ever known is re
ported from the northwest. Miles of prairie
land are under water.
Turkey has appointed representatives to
confer with the envoys of the powers on the
Greek question. Pour parlers will begin to
day.
The London Time*, commenting on the
defeat of General Colley,says it can have no
great effect upon the military situation, as
but a small force was engaged.
The Speaker of the House of Commons
has declared the state of public business no
longer “urgent.”
The Daily Setcs says the arms bill will be
introduced in the House of Commons to
day.
The Irish Archbishops and Bishops, in
their Lenten pastorals, dissuade the people
from acts of violence, but express great
sympathy for them in their trials.
The application for an order for an ex
amination of the Directors of the Western
Union Telegraph Company has been dis
missed. The temporary Injunction restrain
ing the consolidation has been continued.
One of the leading counsel in England
asked Davitt, after Ills condemnation,
•why he, who had lived so long out of
Ireland, should be so eager to redress her
grievances. He replied: “When I was
three years old I saw the roof taken off
my mother's house; we were then placed
in an open cart and taken through the
snow to a port, where we took ship for
America. I have never forgotten this,
and I have vowed to devote my life to
putting an end to a system which sub
jects others to a like fate.” Curiously
enough, one of the first speeches that he
delivered on behalf of the Land League
was from a platform which was erected
on the exact spot where his mother’s
house used to stand.
The Bridgeport Farmer says: "The
Republican predictions that Mr. Garfield
will succeed in reconciling Blaine and
Conkling, are not possible of fulfillment
until one or the other yields the claim of
his faction to the next Presidential nomi
nation. Nor will Mr. Garfield succeed
in constructing a smooth working Cabi
net from inharmonious materials. Both
factions will seek to rule the Cabinet,
and when one succeeds in capturing the
President, a reconstruction of the Cabi
net will soon follow. Mr. Garfield’s
plan of restoring harmony in the party,
will not prove a success.
General Grant’s visit to Mexico is not
regarded with universal favor in that
republic. The National, for instance,
in its issue of January 30, says that this
expedition is connected with railway
projects and speculative schemes "with
which no Mexican who loves his country
can agree.” This speculation, the Na
tional says, ccnnot fail to bring great
dangers on the southern republic if they
are not averted, in time. The National
has probably seen some late numbers ot
Puck.
Anew sort of portable fire escape has
just been patented, which consists of an
arrangement in the form of a large tele
scope, which can be extended upward,
forming a tower reaching to the top stories,
and from the upper section of which a
door can be opened and a bridge stretch
ed across to the burning house. Over this
persons can go and descend within the
great tube, which is protected by a cov
ering of sheet iron.
The Ashantee war makes the fourth
that Great Britain has now on its hands.
The King of Ashantee has been at war
with England half a dozen times already,
being victorious on all of these occasions
except the last affair, when Sir Garnet
Wolseley captured his capital. The
Aabantees are 90,000 strong, well armed
and well disciplined, and will give Eng
land a great deal more trouble than they
did in 1874.
The Electric Light in Chili.— The
Chilian Tiihet of January 8 says that an
exclusive privilege for eight years in that
country has been granted to Mr. Thos.
A. Edison for his electric light, one year
being allowed him for the introduction
of his invention, so that the eight years’
term will really count from December
38, 1881.
The Cincinnati Enquirer publishes a
list of Ohioans who hold office under the
Federal Government, filling three of its
ample columns. The list does not in
clude postmasters, but consists largely of
hangers-on at Washington. It is an as

An English newspaper writer who
pretends to know more or less about
American affairs, expects our next war
will be one between the railway owning
States of the East and the freight pro
ducing States of the West.
Friends of Stanley Matthews say that

The Tariff Question to be Made a
Leading Issue.
A movement has recently been set on
foot under the leadership of such promi
nent Democrats as Messrs. Hurd, of
Ohio, Cox, of New York, Morrison, of
Illinois, Carlisle, of Kentucky, Randolph
Tucker, of Virginia, and other equally
well known and influential free traders,
to bring the tariff question into promi
nence, make it a leading issue,
and array the Democracy in favor of
free trade. The subject is already be
ginning to be discussed in the leading
Democratic papers, and while the West
and South appear to be in very nearly
perfect accord as to the policy and the
duty of the Democracy to make a square
issue with the protectionists on the
tariff question, there is no doubt
whether the same unanimity of senti
ment can be brought about among Dem
ocrats of the Middle and Eastern States.
It is in those States where the battle for
revenue reform, for the overthrow of
the odious and unjust government
policy, which gives protective
bounties to the few at the expense of
the many, will have to be fought, and it
is of interest to observe the indications
of Democratic opinion on the subject in
that quarter. The Boston Pott, the lead
ing Democratic paper of Massachusetts,
hails the movement to which we have
alluded as well timed and in the
right direction. “The country,” says
the Pott, “is ripe and waiting for it.
The great mass of the people are igno
rant on the subject. The young men
have grown up under the idea that what
is falsely called protection is vital to the
country, and have been taught to look
upon free traders, as in popular langu
age denominated, very much as the
Southern colored people do on the Ku-
Kiux. The time for this movement is
also propitious. It is at the dawn of an
other four years administration of
the party which has fastened reve
nue laws on the country so bad
in principle and operation as to have
forced almost universal admission that
some reform is needful, and therefore,
the plan is divested of all considerations
but such as aim at the public good. No
Presidential entanglements are mixed up
with it, no clique or section is specially
to be affected by it, but the movement
is addressed to the intelligence of
the country, . and aims to reach
the great body of consumers who
never concentrate their influence
at Washington, as do the protected
classes to promote their exclusive
interests. We hail, therefore, this step
as an auspicious one aside from all
party considerations. But it has its
significance from a party point of view.
The Democratic party to succeed in fu
ture must shake off its lethargy and put
on a bold front of aggressiveness based
on sound and immutable and uncom
promising principles. A party with no
distinctive policy doe3 not deserve pop
ular support. For practical purposes it
is dead, and there is not virtue enough
in any name to secure for it respect and
confidence. If party patronage is the
only thing worth striving for
Democrats may as well unite
with the Republicans and go in with
them for their share of the public
plunder. But there is a special perti
nency in the inauguration of associa
tions and measures for revenue reform
at this time, from the fact that the tariff
issue at the extreme end of the last cam
paign was unexpectedly sprung upon
certain localities and thereby became
the pivotal point upon which the elec
tion turned. The Democrats were taken
unawares, and under the delusive cry of
protection to home industry, their op
ponents succeeded for want of the light
and instruction which it is now the aim
of these reformers and their associates to
furnish. We want no better issue with
the opponents of the Democratic party
than this of revenue reform. It cannot
come too soon, or be pushed too vigor
ously.”
The Bridgeport Farmer, one of the
ablest and most influential Democratic
papers in Connecticut, is not so sanguine
of the success of the proposed move
ment. Commenting on the subject the
Farmer says: “There are two great
obstacles in the way of the scheme.
First, the Democratic party is not
solid and cannot be made solid, for
free trade-in New England, this
is particularly true. Second, the
Republican party is not solid, and
cannot be made solid, for protection,
particularly in the West The tariff
question cannot, in the present condition
of affairs, become the dividing line in
politics. The Republican protectionists
dare not repudiate their free trade
brethren, and the Democratic free tra
ders cannot safely dispense with the aid
of the Democratic protectionists. But
Messrs. Hurd, Cox and others doubtless
say, ‘why not have a reorganization ©f
parties, we taking the Republican free
traders and passing over to the Re
publican ranks the Demobratic protec
tionists?’ Simply because partisan
prejudices are still too strong to be dis
pelled by purely economic questions.
The Democratic protectionists, and the
Republican free traders would refuse
to be exchanged at the behest of Messrs.
Hurd and Cox. The tariff question can
not become the leading political issue
until the public debt is very greatly de
creased from its present total; then only
can it be made to cover up old party
feeling and bring about a reorganization
of parties.”
Whether it be or be not the true
policy to make free trade a Democratic
party, issue, one thing is very clear to
our mind, and that is that little will be
gained by a Democratic triumph in 1884
if it does not carry with it a thorough
reform of our present bur
thensome, unjust and unequal
tariff system. If the country
is to wait until the national debt is paid
before it is relieved from our present
tariff for protection, it will wait till
doomsday, for so long as the national
debt is a pretext for a high protective tar
iff, profligate and corrupt legislation will
not fail to keep the “National blessing”
at its present figures.
A revolution has broken out in Vene
zuela, South America, against the gov
eminent of General Guzman Blanco, and
up to the present appears to have gained
some advantage over the government
troops. The recent reforms are said to
have excited much discontent in the
country, where they are denounced as
leading to centralism and tyranny, and
the revolution does not appear difficult
It is asserted by some that the next
Congress will not be able to reunite in
consequence of the disorders produced
by this revolution.
The largest Legislature in this country
is that of New Hampshire, which con
tains 391 members, or one for about
every 150 voters. All the other New
England States also boast of large Legis
latures, as follows: Massachusetts 286,
Connecticut 267, and Vermont 272.
Georgia has the largest Legislature of the
Southern States, 206, and Delaware the
smallest, 30.
Meanness of Radical Office Seekers.
It is well for Garfield that he has but
a few days more at Mentor, as in a week
or two more the hungry pack by whom
be is beset would literally eat him ont
of house and home. One of the meanest
processes in the general list of mean
nesses is thus described by the Mentor
correspondent of the St Louis Globe-
Democrat:
“Unfortunately, all the trains that stop
here are due just at meal time. One
stops at 8 a. m., two trains coming from
the east and west stop between 12 and 1
p. m., and another at 6p. m. Although
there are two public houses at the sta
tion, where good meals are furnished at
twenty-five cents, the majorily of visi
tors are so mean or inconsiderate that
they go immediately to the General’s
house, two miles from the station, and
expect, of course, to be invited to the
table. Thus the generous hospitality of
the Garfield family is taxed to the ut
most, and for the benefit in most
instances of people who have no just
claim upon it. Many come on the evening
train and expect supper, lodging and
breakfast at the Garfield farm house.
The expense of keeping up a free board
ing house for the people of the United
States is not inconsiderable, but this is
a small matter compared with the labor
and care which are thus forced on Gen.
Garfield and his family. A gentleman
who has been observing these outrages
for several days, remarked to your cor
respondent just now that there are more
d—d fools in this country than he had
ever supposed. The patience and for
bearance of the Garfield family are in
deed wonderful."
Not such damphool3, either, come to
think of it The poor devils manage to
astonish their stomachs with a square
meal, if they don’t get an office.
The Killing of Captain Elliot by
the Boers.
No doubt the killing by the Boers of
Captain Elliot, of the British Ninety
fourth Regiment, was a bad business, but
the report of Captain Lambert shows it
to have been not quite so black as at
first painted. The two officers were in
an enemy’s country, yet they were set
free on the single condition that they
wofild quit it. They pledged their honor
to do so. Thus, to begin with,
they were treated with a kind
ness such as no British troops would
render to a Boer officer. They did
not leave the territory, and two men
were sent to compel them to leave.
These two men found them, not going
toward the Vaal, but directly away from
it, pleadiDg that the river was too high.
Instead of arresting them as violators of
their parole, the Boers gave them a let
ter from the Secretary of State, saying
that it could not be supposed they really
meaut to break their word, and again
telling them they must ford the
river instantly, at the nearest good point,
which would be shown them. They
promised to do this; meanwhile half a
dozen other Boers had come up to make
the escort strong. The two officers drove
their horses in, but then stopped, and
said that they would have to return.
The faithful Boer soldiers warned them
that they risked death. Again they
stopped, and at last the escort opened
fire, Elliott falling. His companion
jumped into the water, and soon was
safe ashore, thus showing that the Yaal
was not impassable, and that Eiliolt had
paid with his life his refusal to obey.
Senator Beck's New Issue.
The bill introduced in the Senate by
Mr. Beck on Friday, to provide for the
issue of United States circulating notes,
authorizes the issue of United States
notes of denominations not less than S2O
in exchange for gold coin delivered to
the Assistant Treasurer at New York, in
sums of SIO,OOO or more, the gold so de
livered to be held for the redemption of
these notes and for no other purposes.
The notes so issued shall be receivable
in payment of all dues to the
United States, and shall be re
garded as money in all public
or private contracts and liabilities for
the payment of money generally without
specification of the kind of money to be
paid, made or incurred after the passage
of the bill. They are also to be received
in full performance of such contracts or
liabilities,except for interest on the pub
lic debt, and except as between the
holder of such notes and the United
States, which, upon presentation, shall
be paid in lawful coin of the United
States. The present limitation upon the
amount of legal tender notes of the
United States to be kept in circulation is
to have no application to the notes au
thorized under this bill.
Excellent Advice. —The Alexandria
Gazette, commenting on the action of
the so-called Military Committee at
Washington, in adopting a resolution
“that none but Union soldiers shall have
command of the general division of the
inauguration procession,” advises that
as this is an effort to not only to exclude
the South from any participation in the
ceremonies connected with the inaugu
ration of a President, but to still further
humiliate her, that the voluntary mili
tary organizations of the South who
have declared their purpose of partici
pating should at once revoke and aban
don their action, and if they visit Wash
ington they do so “simply in the capac
ity of individual citizens. In this way
they can quietly, decorously and prop
erly resent the latest gross and gratuitous
insult that has been Inflicted upon the
South,” all of which is most excellent
advice.
It looks very much as if Cannon, the
polygamous Utah delegate in Congress,
had "got left,” so far as the next Con
gress is concerned. It will be remem
bered that, though elected over his gen
tile competitor by a large majority at the
last election, the Governor gave the offi
cial certificate to the defeated candidate,
on the ground that Cannon's practice of
polygamy and his never having been
naturalized rendered him ineligible to
the office. An alternative mandamus
was served on the Governor, requiring
him to declare Cannon elected. To this
a demurrer was set up, and on Thursday
last Judge Twiss sustained the demurrer.
The Philadelphia Record says: "The
attitude of the banks and of the Treasu
ry, flinging their millions back and forth
to paralyze or sustain the credit of the
government, must fill the minds of
thinking men with apprehension.
Should such liberty to deal with the
vital interests of the people be too
lightly placed? Are there not too vast
temptations in the possession of such
powers to be consistent with public
safety!”
Another Planet.— The Smithsonian
Institution has received from Prof.
Feerster, of Berlin, the announcement of
the discovery by Paiisa at Pola of a
planet of the tenth magnitude, in
eleven hours thirty nine minutes right
ascension, eight degrees twenty-five min
utes north declination, with a daily mo
tion of one minute north.
The Monroe Business Flat.
There’s another chip knocked from the
shoulders of the Monroe doctrinaires.
Chili has passed right by our potential
embassies, right over the head of our
later Talleyrand, Evarts, and asked the
courts of England, France and Italy to
mediate between her and the victorious
Peruvians. Here is an infraction of the
Monroe business that leaves the poor
thing nothing but a riddled rag, so to
speak, and the exponents of it somewhat
in the position of fiats—fiat as pan
cakes, in fact— Philadelphia Timet.

suite of offices in the Grant building, on
Marietta street, which are now being

ed that the Secretary, Mr. Ryckman,
will take formal possession to-day, and
with such clerical force as the work de
mands, will prepare to dispatch busi
ness. Several hundred letters are await

Fall River, Mass.; Eaton & Ayer,
Nashua, N. H., etc. There are many
others covering various important de

detail at present. Mr. Ryckman will
furnish lists from time to time.
Sufficient assurances have already been
received to indicate that the English ma

Representatives of the manufacturers of
Manchester, Oldham, Huddersfield,
Blackburn and other English cities an
nounce a willingness to send machines
if they can be - entered without duties
being imposed. It is understood that
the Executive Committee will take ac
tion to have a bonded warehouse placed
in connection with the exposition build
ing to be used as English machinery an
nex, where machines can be put upon
exhibition under the supervision of a
custom house officer.
The Executive Committee held a meet
ing yesterday at the office of the Chair
man, H. I. Kimball, at which the follow
ing committees were appointed to act in
conjunction with the Chairman and Sec
retary, and report at the next meeting,
which will be held at the office of the
exposition on Monday morning at 11
o’clock, viz:
On By Laws—Mes>rs. L. P. Grant, E.

On Subscription Paper—Messrs E. P.
Howell, B. E. Crane and W. L. Calhoun.
On Plans —Messrs. L. P. Grant, J. C.

On Location—Messrs. R F. Maddox,
J. F. Cummings, E. P. Howell, S. M.
Inman. L. P. Grant, E. P. Chamberlin
and Richard Peters.
The Secretary was instructed to notify
the members of the Finance Committee
that they are requested to meet with the
Executive Committee on Monday morn
ing to review the situation and take such
active measures as are expedient toward
procuring the ways and means. This
committee is composed of Messrs. Robert
J. Lowry, Paul Romare, D. N.
Spear, Campbell - Wallace, and W.
P. Inman, all gentlemen who are well
qualified for their branch of the work,
and who will acquit themselves with
credit when they formally organize.
This committee has not thus far been
called into service, but it now becomes
eminently important, and each member
should consider that this is in one sense
an Atlanta affair, and that as Atlanta is
to receive the greatest benefit, she should
freely contribute a large percentage of
the capital.
Sam Johnsin? is the colored porter in
a large business house which is prover
bial for not paying its employes living
wages. The other day the head of the
house called Sam back just as he was
going to dinner and said to him: “I
wanted to apk you something, Sam, but
to save my life I can’t remember what it
was.” “Perhaps,” said Sam, “you was
gwine to ask me how I keep soul and
body together on seven dollars a week?”
