Front the litigation now pending in
Nashville one might lie reasonably led to
suspect that the stand in favor of the war
tariff taken by our esteemed contempo
rary, the American, is not only contrary
to the feelings of the people of Tennessee,
but against the wishes of the real owners
of the paper itself, We are partial to the
American, and would like to see it at
work in the tariff reform ranks, even if
the court has to take it up bodily by the
seat of the pants and drop it over on our
side of the fence.
Two years ago the Savannah, Florida
and Western Railway purchased a strip of
low marsh-land in the southern part of
the city of Jacksonville which
bad been for years an “eye
sore” to the citizens of that place.
It is now probably the most valuable
piece of property in Florida. Substantial
wharves, extensive warehouses and a
handsome depot have been erected on the
site. It is now the first Florida soil on
which the majority of tourists entering
Florida step. Its railroad tracks run
down to the head of the wharves, and
freight and passengers are transferred
directly to or from the steamers. No one
can tell what land, either in or in the im
mediate vicinity of a growing city, will
become valuable. The time may not be
distant when land in the neighl>orhood of
this city, lor which there is now no de
mand, will command an enormous price.
Mr. Blaine is credited with saying that
no reconciliation between himself and ex-
Senator Conkiing has ever taken place.
He says that ever since the hot personal
controversy l>etween them in 1867 he has
been willing to bury the hatchet, but the
baughty New Yorker has shown no dis
position to forget the affront given his
Tanity or to forgive the one who gave his
pride the greatest wound it ever received
from the hands ot an individual. There
la probably no truth in the rumors that
Conkling would support Blaine in prefer
ence to Arthur. If he really has such a
great dislike for the latter and the con
test should narrow down to Blaine and
Arthur, the lordly Itoscoe doubtless
maintain a strict but not friendly neu
trality. He has shown no disposition to
take part in political affairs since his vin
dication fiasco, and the State does not
seem anxious to fecali him from his en
forced retirement.
The Caucus To-Night.
The result of the caucus to-night of the
Democratic members of the House on the
Morrison bill is waited for witb deep in
terest. The Republicans, doubtless, hope
that the caucus will break up in a row.
It is more than probable that they will be
disappointed. There are some obstinate
men among the protection Democrats, but
it is not reasonable to suppose that they
will antagonize the declared policy of the
party to such an extent as to make
harmonious action impossible. They
must see the folly of try
ing to force three-fourths of the party to
submit to the dictation of one-fourth. It
is said that the protectionists will try to
change the discussion from the Mormon
hill to the position which the party ought
to take in its national platform at Chi
cago, and to accomplish that will offer !
several resolutions —one that the internal
revenue system ought to i*e abolished,
one that a compassion be appointed to
take charge of the tariff’question and report
a basis of action at the next session, and
one favoring a revenue tariff with inci
dental protection. If any one or all of
these propositions are presented, they will
doubtless lie rejected at once by the tariff
reformers. They ought not to be and. no
doubt, will not lie induced by any con
sideration to abandon their present posi
tion. This is no time for exhibitions of
weakness. The time has come for the
Democratic party to show that its profes
sions in favor of tariff reform are
genuine. If it lets this opportunity pass
unimproved it might as well abandon
its tariff' reform policy, because it will
never be able to convince the country that
it is in earnest.. The Ways and Means
Committee have reported a fair bill
which provides for a very moderate re
duction of the tariff'. If this bill is de
feated it will be interpreted by some to
mean that the party don’t want to reform
the tariff and by others that it cannot.
The House has nothing to do with the
question whether the Senate will pass
Hig bill, or whether the President will
sign it in the event it
reaches the Senate and the
President. The responsibility of the De
mocratic party ends when the bill passes
the House, and that of the Republican
party begins when it reaches the Senate.
The Republicans may kill the bill, as
the protection Democrats assert they will,
but if they do it will not be because they
do not admit that the tariff ought to be
reduced. Thoy would a great deal rather
the Democrats would kill it. They appoint
ed a commission to report a basis for re
duction and were bulldozed by the mono
polists into a refusal to adopt the report.
The President in his message, and the
Secretary of the Treasury in liis rejnirt to
the present Congress, said the tariff ought
to lie reduced. Let them have a chance
to reject a moderate bill like the Morrison
tiili in the face of this record. There is no
reason to fear that Mr. Carlisle and Mr.
Morrison will exhibit weakness in the
caucus. They showed the kind of stuff'
they are made of in the Speakership eou
test. Mr. Randall's bluster made no im
pression on them then and it does not
now.
Figuring on Iron.
In discussing the tariff’ question the pro
tectionists have been earnestly endeavor
ing to impress two assertions on the
jieoplo. The first is that owing to the
.Teat cost of production American goods
cannot compete with European goods on
equal terms. The second is that the prin
cipal cause of the great cost of American
products is the high wages prevalent here,
and hence they argue that a high protec
tive tariff is not only an absolute necessi
ty, but that it inured directly to the bene
lit of American workingmen. The iron
manufacturers have been especially zeal
ous in advancing such arguments.
In their efforts to properly understand
the effects of protection, the people have
been anxious to learn the real cost of dif
ferent classes of goods, and what propor
tion of that cost is labor. This information
the manufacturers have generally been
loth to give, and have in many instances
resented such inquiries as unwarranted
invasions of private business affairs. They
preferred to rest their case on general as
sertions. and considered questions as to
details as discourteous in the extreme.
The American Manufacturer, a protec
tion joui ual, of Pittsburg, gives some fig
ures on the cost of making pig iron in
Pennsylvania which are worthy of notice.
They are as follows:
One ami one-half tons of ore, $3 30 sl2 7.",
One and one-quarter ton- of coke, $2 2 50
Lime 85
Labor . 1 50
Incidentals, repairs, taxes, etc 1 oo
Total cost per ton *l3 CO
The testimony before the Senate Sub
committee on Education and Labor
showed the cost of making pig iron at
Birmingham Ala., to be as follows:
Two tons ore, $1 *2 00
One and one-third tons coke, *2 ... 2 06
Lime 35
Bailor 2 00
I neideiitals, repairs, taxes, etc 1 00
$3 51
The market price of pig iron in Penn
sylvania is from fils to s2l 50 per ton, ac
cording to quality, and to take the figures
of the Manufacturer as correct, the argu
ment that a protective tariff is necessary
to tlie profitable manufacture of iron,
would seem to have something in it, l>ut
the figures do not show that labor gets
much out of tlie i nisi ness, tlie labor cost
of iron in Pennsylvania being 50 cents
per ton less than in Alabama. The “cat
in the meal tub’’ is tlie estimated cost ol
ore, which no intelligent man will believe
is over eight times as high in Pennsyl
vania as iu Alabama. If it is so, how
ever, the people will not feel much like
continuing a high tariff to keep it so.
Pennsylvania ore must come down, or
Pennsylvania manufacturers go up.
The facts must le borne in mind that
the cost of Alabama iron was given under
oath, and that the Pennsylvania estimate
is evidently made to found a protection
argument on. We give these figures
merely to show onr readers the unfair
ness of tlie protectionists, and how little
the cost of iron is due to the high wages
paid in America to laborers.
Tti<‘ South Atlantic l ast Mail.
It will require considerable work to
have the post ottice appropriation bill so
amended in the Senate as to restore the
Fast mail service in the South Atlantic
States. We cannot understand bow the
Representatives of these States allowed
the bill to pass the House without an ap
propriation for this service. They ought to
have had influence enough to get the little
sum of SIBI,OOO appropriated. They cer
tainly could not have realized the im
portance of this service to the localities
interested. It is a vital matter to Charles
ton, Savannah, Jacksonville and many
other towns, whether the mails from
New York, Philadelphia. Baltimore,
Washington and other points reaches
them the day after it starts or two days
after. If the fast mail service is denied
us in this section we shall be
put back, in all business matters,
one day. Compared to the loss which this
section will suffer by being deprived ot
this service the sum of SIBI,OOO, the
amount required to retain it, is hardly
worth considering. Besides the inconve
nience to the people of all towns along
the South Atlantic coast, there are 00,000
visitors to Florida annually who will be
sufferers. What good reason can there be
advanced for discontinuing this service?
There is no want of money in the Treasu
ry. Indeed, there appears to be some
trouble to know just what to do with the
surplus. The Post Office Department is
not hostile to the service. Mr.
Townshend, who had charge of
the bill as Chairman of the sub
oimnittee, would doubtless find it
difficult to say why ho advised that the
South Atlantic States should be deprived
of a privilege which they appreciate so
highly and find so beneficial. He would
answer probably that he wanted to be as
economical as possible in making appro
priations, in order to make campaign
capital. Mr. Townshend and his school
of politicians, however, might as well
understand first as last that this section
of the South is not willing to contribute
quite so much to campaign buncombe.
Because it can be depended on to stand
solidly for the*Democratic ticket it dosen’t
follow that it shouldn't be treated in the
matter of appropriations as fairly as sec
tions that don’t stand so solidly tor the
Democratic ticket. It is noticeable that
an extra last mail has lately been put on
for the country west of Chicago. Mr.
Townshenddid not object to au appropria
tion for that extra service. He is an Illi
nois man, and is certain to object to no
expenditure that will advance the inter
ests of the West. As Mr. Randall, who is
at the head of the Comftittee on Appro
priations. objects to any reduction of the
revenue, it is not easy to see why he is
depriving the south of a much-needed
mail service in order to curtail
expenditures. It is not good policy to
increase the amount of the annual
surplus when the amount of the surplus
is already a source of disturbance. We
have the best of reasons to complain of
the action of the House and of the Ap
propriations Committee for depriving us
ol a necessary mail service which the Re
publicans, last Congress, willingly ac
corded to us. We look to our friends in
the Senate to undo the hostile work of the
House. k Senators Jones and Call of
Florida have been asked to do their best
to have this fast mail service restored,
and we are confident that the Senators
from this State will do all they cau in the
same direction.
Outliving “old mortality” has always
been considered an impossibility, but Mr.
Charles Barrett, of Ashburnham, Mass.,
has outlived the mortality tables of a com
pany in which his life was insured, and
has been paid the amount of his policy in
lull, besides the dividend of the current
year. His policy for SI,OOO was issued in
1340, when he was 58 years old, and by its
terms was payable at death. On the 3d
inct. he attained the age of 90, the ex
treme limit ot life, according to the tables
of the company in which he was insured.
This is probably the Urst instance of the
kind in the history of life insurance. Cer
tainly the first in this country.
The complaint* is being made that the
Democratic House has shown altogether
too much consideration for ex-Speaker
Keifer. If it had kicked him out without
ceremony, the Republicans would doubt
less have complained that he was i>rse
cuted merely because he was their leader.

Jonah and the Whale.
Philadelphia Record (fad.).
The trouble with the protectionist Demo
crats in Congress lies in the fact that they
will insist that it is easier lor Jonah to swal
low the it hale than for the whale to swallow

No Time for Dickering.
Charleston Xetcs and Courier ( Dem .).
The Democracy, in' electing Mr. Carlisle as
•Speaker, promised the country that they would
use their utmost endeavor to lower the pro
tective duties. Any swerving now from this
high policy, demanded by tlie people for the
people, will bring down upon the Democrats
tlie deserved scorn of the country. This is no
time for dickering. Tlie protectionist party
will remain in jiowcr unless the Democracy
oppose to it tlie principles and the practice of
a tariff'for public purposes only. Safety and
success are to be found in a c mrageous ex
pression of well-considered opinions, amt in
the fixed determination to do what is right,
come what may.

I ♦kino a heated discussion us to the uon
coforcement of the municipal regulation
against carrying deadly wcajioiis which took

the conductor was invited to decide the l>et.

three others exhibited them, five shook their

A LOST ART RECOYEKED.
A Pittsburgh Chemist Learns How to
Make Obsidian or Black Glass.
A chemist of Pittsburgh is said to have
rediscovered the lost art of making arti
cles from obsidian, a species of volcanic
glass, among them black mirrors which
arc used iu the making ot astronomical
instruments, liis attention was first di
rected to the subject in 1379, while on a
visit to Pompeii. Here he found a frag
ment of a statue (an arm) made from
obsidian, and its evident kinship to the
lava, there so abundant, led him to think
it might have been made therefrom.
Bringing away with him his trophy
aud a quantity of lava, he began an in
vestigation and a series of experiments,
which finally led him to a knowledge, not
only of the component element of obsidian,
but also as to how it might be reproduced
by artificial means. His first successful
“melt” was made in this city in the latter
part of 1881. He made a number of orna
mental articles and several slabs of the
new glass, went to New York city and
set up a small furnace for its manufac
ture. He one day visited a well-known
manufacturer of optical lenses, Mr.
Weiskopf, aud asked what be would
charge for polishing' a slab of
it. Mr. Weiskopf wanted to know
what it was, and when he got the infor
mation, curtly named a high price. Much
to his astonishment, the terms were ac
cepted, and a day was named when the
work v/ould be completed. When he
called for it, Mr. Weiskopf’s brusque
manner was gone. “Do you know what
you have done?” the lensemaker inquired,
“You have rediscovered the lost art of
making black mirrors. Don’t get excited
and think there are millions in it for you;
Tor only a few of them are used. ' Yet
your discovery is of the greatest scientific
importance.”
THE EDITOR AND THE BURGLAR
How the Midnight Marauder had the Ad
vantage of the Pencil l'ualter.
Mithlletonn Transcript •
Once upon a time a village editor awoke
to find a burglar searching in his chamber
for bis gold and bonds, aud drawing his
trusty pistol from beneath his pillow he
took steady aim at the nocturnal intru
der’s head. Looking around and becoming
painfully aware of bis peril the burglar
pleadingly said:
“Spare me, for 1 have made a mistake
in the house. 1 have found nothing but
an old out-of-date railroad pass. Let me
depart in peace.”
“Not so,” answered the editor, holding
his aim like a skillful marksman, “for
this is a mighty dull week for locals.”
“But pause it moment and reflect,” re
turned the burglar; “your paper is not is
sued till Friday. Your hated rival, the
Weekly Bungstarter, will go to press to
morrow evening and would have at least
two columns of my death and the coro
ner’s inquest. It would lie fully two days
ahead of you.”
“True enough,” said the editor with a
sigli as he lowered liis pistol and replaced
it under his pillow; “you are too early in
the week for an item for me, and I, there*
lore, spare you. You will find the plumb
er's house, for which you evidently mis
took this humble home, nextdoor but one.”
How to Cook Water.
.W ir York Correspomlence Chicago Journal.
1 must tell you the old story of how the
late Charles' Delinonieo used to talk
about the new hot-water cure. He said
the Delmonicos were the first to recom
mend it to guests who complained of hav
ing no appetite. “Take a cup of hot wa
ter and lemon and you will feel better,”
was the formula adopted, and the cup of
hot water and lemon was simply a little
hot water with a drop of lemon juice in it
to take away the insipidity. For this
anti-billinus remedy the caterers charged
the price of a driuk of their best
liquors—i!j cents or more—and it cer
tainly was a wiser way to spend small
change than in alcohol. “Few people
know how to cook water.” Charles used
to affirm. “ The secret is in putting good,
fresh water into a neat kettle, already
quite warm, and setting the water to
boiling quickly, and then taking it right
off for use in tea, coffee or other drinks,
before it is spoiled. To let it steam and
simmer atxl evaporate until the good
water is all in the atmosphere, and the
lime and iron aud dregs only left in the
kettle—bah! that is what makes a great
many people sick, and is worse than no
water at all.” Every lady who reads this
valuable recipe ol a great and careful cook
should never forget how to cook water.
