At Heifer’s order the reportors'

It is said that before the vote was taken
on the conference report on the tariff' bill
there was rather a lively spat between
Abram S. Hewitt and Mr. Kandall in one

quy reports that Mr. liandall declared
that “after lighting lor the Democratic
party in the House for twenty years he
did not propose to be dictated to and tu
tored by a man who has been there only
one-fourth of that time;” and that Mr.
Hewitt retorted that, as Speaker of the
House, Mr. Kandall hail defeated tariff
revision by “packing the Ways and Means
Committee”—something he would never
do again, for he would “meet his Water
loo in the next Democratic caucus to
nominate a candidate for Speaker.”
The officers of the revenue cutters of the
marine service, in the ten years beginning
with 1861 and ending with 1870, examined
132,988 vessels, and during the ten years
ending in 1881, boarded and examined 283,-
898 vessels. This increase of work was
not accompanied by a corresponding in
crease of expense to the government, since
the revenue service in 1868 cost $1,293,-
uni 67, and for the year ending June 30,
Ixß2, only cost $846,42!} 34. During the
last six years the revVrue cutters render

cargoes valued at $16,181,542 80, and saved
the lives of 642 human beings. Admiral

The La>t Sad Tribute.
To-day Georgia will pay the last sad
tribute to. her honored dead. The obse
quies of Governor Stephens will be the
most impressive that ever attended the
burial of any Georgian. Thousands are
thronging to the capita! to do honor to
the departed statesman and Iriend of hu
manity. The arrangements for the funeral
fire complete. The tributes tbat will be
paid to the memory of Mr. Stephens will
be eloquent, just and sincere, for those
called to perform this proud though
mournful task knew his powers aud his
worth.
Throughout the State to-day the people,
with reverent mien and solemn hearts,
will join with those about the dead in
manifesting their sorrow tor Georgia’s
great bereavement. Savannah's feelings
have been fittingly shown, and fiud fur
ther manifestation in the large representa
tion she sends to participate in paying the
last honors to the illustrious dead.
Her citizen soldiery, who won
the admiration of their late Commander
in-Chief by their bearing when passing in
review before him, have vied with each
other in their eagerness to do honor to his
memory.
The large representations from the va
rious commands go to the capital with no
purpose of display. Every man is prompt
ed by the dictates of duty, and iu assisting
in honoring the dead, represents the peo
ple of savannah aud expresses the regard
which he has, in comtnou with them, for
him whom Georgia delighted to honor
aud the world admired.
Foreign Tradeof the United States.
The returns of the foreign commerce of
the United states for the mouth ot Janu
ary show a very favorable balance of
trade; the imports, inclusive of specie,
lieinc $59,044,525, aud the exports, specie
included, being $ 5 2,789,403. The imjiorts
of specie were *2,204,441, and the exports,
$2,551,889; which are so nearly even as to
make the balance of trade consist almost
entirely of merchandise, and cause the
excess of exports to stand above $23,000,-
tWO, against aliout $8,000,000 for the same
month last year. Notiug these figures
the New York Commercial Bulletin re
marks:
“This favorable showing is.due entirely
to the iucrease iu exports’ during the
month, as the imports of merchandise
were $56,840,084, against $56,950,224 in Jan
uary last year; while the exports of mer
chandise were 80,237,514, as compared
with $64,921,051 in 1882. The merchan
dise imported in January was $12,728,512
less than in December, aud a- little less
than iu November, but was considerably
in excess of that imported in any other of
the preceding twelve months. The in
crease in the exports is, of course, eu
couraging; but it should lie borne in
miud that the movement is in comparison
with that of a shot* crop year, while the
imports, though decreasing in January,
are likely, from indications in February
dry goods imports at New York, to again
increase.
“In comparing the imports and exports
of merchandise since the beginning of the
fiscal year, the balance iu favor of ex
ports during the past seven months was
$77,972,899. against $73,304,540 for the same
period of the previous year; but, includ
ing specie, of which the imports were
comparatively large the year liefore, the
excess of exports were $78,395,085, against
$47,408,196 for the previous period. The
imports of merchandise for the past seven
months were $427,'♦5.795, compared with
$399,808,002 in the former year—an in
crease of aliout $28,000,000. The exports
of merchandise were $505.565,694, against
$173,112,542 —an increase of near $33,000,-
000. In the specie movement there aji
pears an excess of exports for the period
of seven months, against an excess of im
ports of $25,901,344 in the corresponding
l>eriod of last year.”
The Chicago IVibune remarks: “If tiie
Boulh wants Northern labor to help de
velop its soil and increase production,
and if it wants Northern capital to build
up its wasted industries and expand them,
all that it has to do is to come half way
and invite them, and sink its prejudices,
its ostracism, its silly assumptions of su
jieriority, and give Northern men and
Northern money a fair chance. If they
don’t want to help, or are too lazy to help,
let them stand one side and see what
Northern skill and pluck can do for them.
The only thing that stands iu the way of
Southern progress is Southern prejudice.
So long as that exists there is no induce
ment for Northern capitalists to make in
vestments, or for Northern labor to com
mence a Southward march.”
A great deal of the foregoing counsel is
gratuitous. Moreover, if the Tribune and
journals like it would quit framing indict
ments against the South based on preju
dice there might lie a greater influx of
Northern men iyto this section. Northern
capitalists have level heads, and pay little
attention to newspaper vaporings. They
are finding out the value of the South’s
resources, anti are investing here with
singular alacrity.
The San Francisco Chronicle says aud
proves that the Thurmau-Edinunds law,
which was intended to force the Pacific
roads to make a sinking fund with which
to pay ott their debts to the people of the
United States, is a dead law. It says:
The law was designed to reduce the
debt, so that rft the maturity of the bonds
the principal and interest would not much
exceed the sinking fund, but it is seen
that under it the debt has increased at the
steady rate of $1,897,000 a year. The bonds
will not mature for fourteen years. In
these lourteen years the debt will have in
creased by $26,558,000. The total debt will
theu stand as follows:
Principal . * 64,623,512
Intere-t debt to January 31, 1883. . 40,635.727

At Last,
The final passage of the tariff bill at the
very close of the Forty-seventh Congress,
enables some people, we suppose, to draw
a long breath and exclaim, “At last we
have a reduction of the tariff.” But what
says Mr. Carlisle in his badgering of Mr.
Kelley during the debate? That so far
from reducing the tariff, or even attempt
ing any reconciliation of the differences
between the House aud Senate bills, the
conference committee, to whom it
was entrusted at the last mo
ment, took advantage of the
situation and iu violation of all prece-
dent aud self respect, outraged the will
aud sensibilities of the people, by actually
increasing the tariff on at ledst five arti
cles —earthenware, iron ore, steel rails,
bar iron and glass bottles—above the
rates previously agreed on by
both houses of Congress. This
is not Mr. Carlisle's language, but it is
the substance, aud it is to be regretted
that he did not more pointedly expose,
theu aud there, the manu-uvring, the hy
pocrisy aud deceit which has character
ized ' the course of ** the pro
tection Republicans throughout their
connection with the measure.
As predicted in these columns when the
measure was first presented to Congress,
that party never meant to vote for any
bill reforming the abuses of the tariff', and
the measure finally adopted shows upon
its face that it was but the “tub to the
whale,” iu the vain hope of modifying the
storm ot indignation that would inevi
tably sweep over the country upon the
adjournment of Congress without some,
attempt to correct the evils so uni
versally complained of. But the party
was on the down grade and doomed. It
could not correct its abuses for want of
vitality and virtue. It clung to its steal
ings as the miser clings to his gold. Tariff
reform meant the disgorging of millions,
the distribution of the profits of trade and
manufacture amoug the many, in
stead of hoarding them in
the coffers of the few. It meant
the cessation of unlimited monopolies
which have ruled the country, gutted the
Treasury aud hedged in their boundless
fortunes against their victims, the people,
by charters aud statutes and precedents
that whole generations will not be able to
check or overcome. •
It could uot be expected that they would
trilliuyly disgorge. It could not be ex
pected that they would willingly, on any
terms, yield up the purse-strings they had
held for over twenty years, and now have
their exclusive privileges cut oil' of plun
dering the whole couutry, robbing every
industry, and subordinating every power
to their all-devouring, insatiable greed lor
power aud pelf. But they acted “ wisely
as serpents,” and “made for themselves
friends of tue mammon of unrighteous
ness.” The fiat had gone forth in the
fall elections that they must give au ac
count of their stewardship. Sudden re
formation of the tariff’s; sudden yielding to
the inevitable, would precipitate dis
aster. They were still in ■ power, though
under condemnation, and they could
turn the interval to their advantage.
The Forty-eighth Congress would inevita
bly reform the tariff as demanded by the
people, but that would give a year for
the adjustment of trade in anticipation
ot the change—a year for protectionists
to let down easy—to secure to themselves
and their children their protecting?.
Meantime, since their hands were in,
the halter already around their necks,
it could lie no worse—and they would
take a little more.
Accordingly, they increased the tariff in
the aggregate, though some articles are
lowered, and to such tariff' reform tiie peo
ple are doomed for another year, iu spite
of their unparalleled repudiation of the
party and its methods last fall.
The Possible Near Future of South
Florida.
Afoi’Ka, Fla., March s.— The numer
ous internal improvements now progress
ing aud the various railroads being pro
jected in this portion of the State are
bringing prominently before the people
the future probabilities of what South
Florida will be within the next five years.
A brief mention of some of these im
provements aud the results will give your
readers some idea of the rapid strides
being made in the development of the
country, and show what it must become
ere many years have passed away.
A large section of land known as the
Kissimmee and Okeechobee region, a por
tion of the extensive crazing lands of
Soutii Florida, embraces an immense
amount of alluvial land, subject to over
flow during the seasons of high water,
and but a small portion lit for cultivation
in its unimproved condition. But now
that the Okeechobee Drainage Company
have by the use of their improved dredg
ing machines ojiened the Caloosahatchee
river into Lake Okeechobee, the waters
are lieing rapidly lowered, and when the
canal is deepened the large body of saw
grass prairie will soon lie fit for cultiva
tion, and will prove to be the best sugar
cane lands in the United States.
These lands being in a semi-tropical
region, are peculiarly adapted to the
growth of cane, with the further advan
tage over other States, that one planting
of seed cane will furnish rattoons for six
years or more, thus saving a large expense
for seed and the labor of annual planting.
Louisiana sugar planters are making ar
rangements to settle these land% as soon
as the drainage is complete amfopen plan
tations.
This canal, in conjunction with the one
cut on the east, opening the lake into the
St. Lucie river, which empties into Indian
river, has already lowered the waters of
the submerged region to such an extent
that a large area of the richest lands in
the State are two feet, aliove the former
water level. Tahopekaliga lake is being
drained into the Kissimmee river, and the
channel straightened. This will give di
rect water navigation into the Gulf of
Mexico, and the South Florida Railroad,
now in operation, having its present ter
minus at Kissimmee City, gives connec
tion with the Atlantic ports. A company
known as the Florida Coast Line Canal
and Transportation Company are engaged
iu opening canals into the different salt
water rivers which lay along the
eastern coast, and expect in this way to
connect St. Augustine aud Bay Biscayne
ou'the south, which will give great iuijie
tus to the settlement and development of
that section, bringing them within easy
reach of market.
11 the reader will place Colton’s map of
Florida, 1882, by the side of a map of the
State, published even ten years ago, and
compare them, the most casual observer
will be surprised to note the net work of
railroads passing through and across the
Peninsula of Florida. Some of these have
already been constructed, and a number
of others have been in course of construc
tion. They are among the best evidences
of the rapid development now going on
iu this section, yet they fail to convey but
a faint idea of the rapid changes' now
takiug place in this Southland, which
hut a few years ago was an almost un
known wilderness, except to the squads
of soldiers who, during the Seminole war,
traveled through portions of its swamps
and wilds in pursuit of Indians. It was
looked upon as a vast swamp with slight
elevations on the coast and would never
be inhabited by civilized man.
Will Wallace Harney, the well-known
word painter ol Florida scenery, has given
a graphic picture of his recent boat trip
from Kissimmee City on Lake Tahoneka
liga down the Kissimmee river to Okee
chobee, and thence by way of the canal
into Colussahatchee river to Fort Myers.
From his description of the country and
its peculiar characteristics, with the num
ber of miles traveled, enables us to form a
conception of the great extent of territory
that will lie reclaimed by the system of
drainage now in operation, without taking
into account the effect it will have upon
that portion of the peninsula known as
the Everglades.
The newspajssrs report that Mr, Disston,
with a party of twenty or more have
made the same journey in a steamboat
belonging to the drainage company.

Wagner’s hair was always highly prized
by his admirers, and whenever he had it
cut enthusiasts were on the lookout to se
cure locks of it. During the great maes
tro’s last visit to Naples he had his hair
trimmed, and the barber was solicited by
some Wagnerites at the hotel to sell them
the shorn locks, to his considerable profit.
Unluckily, Madame Wagner had promised
the hair to a friend, aud the barber was
robbed of his perquisites; but, remember
ing that the butcher who supplied ffieat
to the hotel had hair similar to that of the
great composer, he persuaded him to have
it cut gratis, and was thus enabled to
send the enthusiasts away rejoicing.

His Greatness and Hl* Virtue*.
Philadelphia Metci.
He was a man of broad intellect, clear
views and positive ideas. He was fairly
entitled to be regarded as a statesman,
lieing well versed in the principles of
statesmanship and government. He had
many warm friends, evei\ among those
whose political views did not harmonize
with his. Governor Curtin, of this State,
urged his release from military prison,
and Republicans were earnestly favorable
to him in all social and personal ways.
He was a great man, and Georgia has in
his death lost its most distinguished
citizen. His death is a loss as well to the
entire country.
Baltimore Sun.
His rare mental powers had been im
proved by study and matured by the ex
perience gatherwl in a public life running
through nearly fifty years. His published
speeches show the extent of his acquire
ments and that he took broad views of
things. The bent of his mind was towards
conservatism. It was this tendency
which led him to - oppose the secession of
Geonria, although he could uot but be
conscious that even his stirring oratory
aud great personal popularity would avail
nothing as against the passion and ex
citement that were then overriding all
prudential considerations. When the die
was cast he went with his State, and from
that time forward continued to serve it to
the best of his ability. We kuow how to
the last day of his life that State houored
him in return, aud now that he has died
in harness, there is no living son of Geor
gia to take the peculiar place so long held
by Mr. Stephens in the affections of the
people. Such life-long devotion is rare at
any time and among any people, and as
Chatham|onee said, “Confidence is aplaut
of slow growth.”
Baltimore Bay.
He was, essentially one of the people—
their interests were his, and all his sym
pathies were with them. Hence it is not
surprising that he was loved and rever
enced, not only by the people of his own
State, but of the entire South, and that
they never lost their faith iu his single
mindedness aud integrity. By many, his
theories were considered fine-spun; but to
this he was inditfereut, and moved along
iu his calm course, respecting the popular
will and incorruptibly simple and true.
Numbers of young men who are now fill
ing honorable and lucrative positions owe
their success in life to his kindly efforts ;
the poor were cared for by him, and the
stranger always received a hospitable
welcome at his fireside; and after reach
ing the age of threescore years and ten he
passed peacefully away, having, in his
own words recently written to a friend,
lived with eternity iu view and learned
long since to look calmly through the
mists of the river of death.

tests and demands, but lie never lost the
confidence of his people. It is to tlieir
credit that they understood and appre
ciated the integrity aud worth of the man.
" ft. Louis Republican.
For nearly fifty years lie has been in
public life, tyid much of the time has been
one of the most prominent characters in
the Union. He laid unquestioned abili
ties of a high order and integrity which
was above all reproach. Considering his
life-long physical disabilities, his mental
vigor was marvelous and liis industry
something to create constant wonder. He
had a hold on the people of his State which
was a constant and irreputable proof of
strong and commanding character. He
was not always with the popular current
of Georgia opinion, but was always trust
ed as few meu ever have been for so long
a jieriod. A combination of high, per
sonal and moral courage, unswerving in
tegrity, great industry and unflagging de
votion to duty constituted his strength
rather than transcendent mental power,
though he tvas a man ol broad, vigorous
and discriminating intellect. Mr. Steph
ens death is a loss to Georgia and tiie
country, bu*a loss which could not in the
course of nature have been long deferred.
Chicago Tribune.
The prominent characteristics of Mr.
Stephens were remarkable political fore
sight and sagacity, joined to earnestness
of conviction and’ independence of action.
His attitude before the war towards the
expediency of secession and his ready
acceptance of the inevitable after the war
made him many enemies in the South, but
no one doubted his honesty. Though he
had a frail and suffering body for years,
lie was very cheertul, companionable and
hospitable, especially in his own home,
which he always called Liberty Hall. In
his death the South loses a statesman de
voted to its ■ best interests, and his own
State a man |whose place no one among
her people has yet shown tiie capacity to
fill.
Philadelphia Press.
He died as he would probably have
chosen had he been permitted to choose
his time—at the head of his people, in full
fill meat of a great mandate. The day of
his vital value to his State and his coun
try had, happily, long since passed; but
none the less his disapjiearance from the
political activities of Georgia will be a
loss to Ik: sensibly felt for a long time to
come. Possessing none of the attractions
of Senator 11141, as man or orator, Mr. Ste
phens was still a man widely recognized
as a safe and necessary factor in the con
ciliatory and rehabiiitatory processes
which Georgia perhaps, more than any
other Southern commonwealth, has set-in
motion.
Columbus Knquirer-Sun .
Were his many uoble deeds and com
mendable virtues to be recorded, it would
till volumes. His heart was with his
country, and his miml and hands were
vigorous and industrious in promoting
what he deemed its best interests. He
lived not to himself but for others. Truly
a great man has fallen, and with uncov
ered heads the people of Georgia pour out
their tears as they gaze upon the body
which lies iu state at the capitol—so colei
and now forever silent.
Philadelphia Bulletin.
The death of Alexander 11. Stephens re
moves one of the leading figures of the
Confederacy. Perhaps no civilian who in
the autumn' of I*6o and the early mouths
of 1861 cast his vote for secession was in
tellectually sujierior to Mr. Stephens.
In private life Mr. Stephens bore an euvi
able reputation, while in public he was
the most important man sent by the South
to Congress since Calhoun.
Washington Post.
The old Georgia Commoner was rugged
ly honest, and imssessed the qualities
that win aud retain friendship. Consid
ering how frail a tenement his soul was
lodged in, and how slight was his appar
ent hold on life, his career is one of the
strangest in our annals.
Washington (I). C.) Republican.
lie inherited the Gaelic taste for meta
physics and music, and led a remarkably
consistent life as a Christian. He was an
orator of great power, but addressed the
understanding rather than the emotions.
HffVras the “last of the giants,” and his
death is a national loss.
Philadelphia Time#.
No man in Georgia would be so sin
cerely lamented as Alexander H. Ste
phens, and the whole country will cherish
his memory with the profoundest respect.

Sir Garnet Wolseley is au ardent advo
voeate of temperance iu the army. He
says that, in his opinion, drink is the
chief cause of disobedience, crime and
disease. In South Africa his body-guard
were all strictly temperate men, and all
enjoyed excellent health, in spite of the
climate. In Egypt, also, very little liq
uor was given to the troops, although the
doctors insisted that it was necessary on
account of the climate; yet the general
health of the men was good, and their be
havior admirable.
The severity of the past winter is said
to have had a most disastrous effect on
Western herds, thousands of cattle losing
their lives w here usually no trouble is ex
perienced. The cattle in Montana aud
Wyoming and other Northern latitudes,
rapidly moved Southward at the begin
ning of the bitter weather, and in some
instances have strayed as far South as the
Indian Territory aud the Llano Estacado
in Texas and New Mexico, so that large
losses are likely to occur to the ow ners
from theft as well as from starvation and
cold.
Dueling at Jena University is likely to
fall into some disfavor, owing to a series
of fatal events. There were twenty-one
serious duels in one day, and, owing to the
fact that the swords had not been properly
cleaned since having been used previously,
some forty students are iu hospital, suffer
ing from blood-poisoning. Two have al
ready died, and one, losing his mind, com
mitted suicide by strychnine. Duelling
at the German universities has lately been
carried to a great excess, and there is a
prospect that public opinion will at last
lie effectively aroused against it.
A Baltimore court has decided that the
publication of “lolanthe” in score and
with piano accompaniment gives the pur
chasers of the book the right to perform it
with any “tone-color” they may prefer.
In other words, the composers' instru
mentation is not protected so far as to
prevent other people from getting up a
new instrumentation from the piano score.
It seems at first sight a hardship upon the
composer, or the party who purchases the
right to perform the opera, hut it is not
nearly as severe as the strain upon the
public, which will be obliged to listen to
multitudinous varieties of “tone-color”
prepared by musical blacksmiths and
cheap amateurs.
The tamous blue laws of Connecticut

Two Mormon elders recently paid a
missionary visit to New Zealand, and at
Papawai, fell in with a keen old Maori
chief, named Manihera. The story of
their meeting is thus told by a Hobart
paper: “The elders, as usual, com
menced by a long discourse on tne origin
of the Mormon Church, stating that the
angel Maroni descended from Heaven,
anil delivered into the hands of Joseph
Smith two tables of gold, whereon were
inscribed all the laws of their religion.
Manihera here interrupted by asking
whether they still had those two tables of
gold. He was informed by the elders
that the angel took them back again;
whereupon Manihera remarked that it
was a very curious proceeding on the
angel’s part, as, if he had left them for
the world to see, it would have lieen a
great proof of the truthfulness of Joe
Smith’s revelations, which he very much
doubted happening at all.

Logansport, Ind. Dec. i, 188a.
For a long lime I have been a
sufferer from stomach and kidney
disease. My appetite was very poor
and the very small amount I did eat
disagreed with me. I wAs annoyed
very much from non-retention of
urine. I tried many remedies with
no success, until I used Brown's
Iron Bitters. Since I used that my
stomach does not bother me any.
Myappetiteissimplyimmense. My
kidney trouble is no more, and my
