There must tie some sort of literary
matrimonial relationship existing lie
tween the Louisville Cott rier-.Journal and
the Nashville American. They have been
quarreling with each other for months,
and heating each other over the head
with imaginary brooms. Just as soon,
however, as an outside journal striped ip
and threatened to stab the editor of the
C.s/. under the fifth rib with a boiled
carrot, the A nitric fin hastened to nis
rescue. There is an old fable that illus
trates the point.
The Mobile llei/itter says: “Samuel J.
Randall carried the Pennsylvania Con
tention with the utmost ease, and the
platform speaks out for a tariff for reve
nue and for the rights of labor.” Yes?
and the Republicans carried Samuel
J. Randall Tuesday against the tariff for
revenue idea, and in favor of a protective
aad prohibitory tariff, and in favor of the
monopolists who “import paniier labor
from Europe.” That is about the way
it looks to anyone whose eve-sight is not
obscured by the beam of interest in
monopolies.
A Point in Mr. Tilden’s I*ctter.
In the letter of Mr. Tilden. read at the
banquet of the Iroquois Club at Chicago
Tuesday night, there is a point worthy of
the thoughtful attention of all who feel a
deep interest in the stability of republi
can institutions. The point is that at the
beginning of the canvasses the opposition
must embrace two-thirds of the voters to
maintain a majority at an election. This
is Mr. Tilden's opinion, which, he says, he
expressed as far back as If this
opinion is well founded, it is easy to see
how difficult it is for the party out of pow
er to get control of the government. Mr.
Tilden has made politics a for many
years, and there is, perhaps, no man liv
ing better qualified to express such an
opinion than he is. He ha
seen the influence of money and patron
age in elections, and be knows bow pow
erful they are. In national contests the
administration does not take the position
of an impartial observer, but enters the
arena and battles for the success of its
party with all the resources at its com
mand. These resources are enormous.
There are more than one hundred thous
and officeholders who not only exert their
personal influence in behalf of their party,
in th.-ir respective localities, but they con
tribute a large j*r cent, of their earnings
to the same cause, so eager are they for
-i.-.-*-*8 that they are not always scrupu-
I'.-ti- at>out the mean* they employ. Money
and office, are among the weapons which
they use. It ha- been shown beyond
que-tion that in ls 0 the elections in the
Octolier '-'ate- were carried for the Re
publican- by a liberal use *>f money. The
October victories contributed largely to
the November success: and who is there
who d*Sts not know that every agency
controlled by th,- government was forced
to assist in giving the KepuMic-an party a
victory in November? At the dinner of
the Republican chiefs at Delmonieo’s to
oelebrat- that victory liorsey. of star
route fame, wa* openly complimented for
the skillful way in which he u-*-d w hat
the a-s*-mb!od <-hicfs were pleased to call
‘■s'-a].." It will never be known, proba
bly. how largo- a part of the millions
stolen from the government by means
of star route and other frauds was
us-d to elect Garfield. Although
Mr. Horsey ha- pretended to tell a
good deal, he has been very careful
to g'iv.- n . information on that ioint. Mr.
Tiiden i- right. The ©position party,
having only a hare majority of the voters,
ha- n*. chance ->f getting control of the
govi-rmnent. It must have a majority
sufficiently great t*. overcome the power
ful influence* controlled by the adminis
tration. There are some Democrats who
condemn the civil service law. But from
th* -taml-p;*int of Mr. Tilden it is one of
the w i-e-t law - ever enacted. If it is en
forced it will deprive the Republican par
ty of a great deal of its power. It will
lessen the number of its active workers
and cut down its corruption fund. The
civil service law i- a -tep towards a
; reform that is imperatively demanded.
! The administration .light not to be
; allowed t" take any part in js>liti*-s. The
no-ails it employs are demoralizing, de
; basing and corrupt. It acknowledges
-omc restraint now, but unless there is a
i reformation th*- time is coming when no
restraint of any kind will be recognized.
- An opposition with two-thirds of the
voters at its back will not Is; able to get
control of the government. An honest
! interpretation of the constitution and the
; divon-e of the administration from parti
san polities should Is- demanded by the
I*emocratic national platform.
The Silver Dollar,
it is not at all probable that the New
i York number of Commerce committee,
at prf sent in Washington for the purpose
of urging tU>- passage of a bill suspending
the coinage of the silver dollar, will meet
with an encouraging reception. They
have with them a monster memorial in
support of their mission, but memorial
and committee combined stand no chance
of securing the sort of legislation wanted.
It i- understood that seven of the eleven
members or the Committee on Coinage
ar* committed against any hill providing
for susjiending, or even limiting, silver
coinage. .With a hostile committee it is
not pos-ible, of course, to get a bill
favorably reported to the House, and
even if it were possible to get the com
mittee to report a bill, it would stand
no chance of being considered this
session, and probably not next session.
| It would have to take it* place at the foot
! *,( the calendar ami tln-r<- it would re
main. It could not Is- got before the
House except by unanimous consent, or
l.v -iis|H-i,<ling the rules, which requires
a two-thirds vote. Anybody who knows
anything at,out the sentiment of the
House on this silver coinage question
knows that neither unanimous consent
nor a suspension of the rules could be
I obtained. The New York Chamber of
| ( ommeree ought to have begun its war on
j the silver dollar earlier. It might then,
i at least, have secured a hearing. There is
| one tiling that the Committee on Coinage
- proj>ose doing, it is to reis,rt a bill au
| th*,rizing two dollar silver certificates to
i Ik- i*-ued ami ordering the retirement of
the two dollar I’nited 'tates n*>tes. Mr.
Bland, the Chairman, says that the com
-1 mitiee will not report favorably on the
t pnijiosition to issue one dollar silver cer
tificat'-s, Is-caus* certificates of tiiat de
nnniination would materially interfere
with the circulation *,f the silver dollar.

The latest advices from Havana indi
cate a very feverish condition of affairs in
Cuba, It seems that it is only within
til*- last few days that it has become gen
erally known that Gen. Aguero and his
followers made a *afe landing on the
island. All press dispatches were rigidly
serutinized by the authorities, and noth
ing was allowed to reach the people cal
culated to enlighten them respecting
<;*-n. Aguero’s movements. Doubtless
the sum*- surveillance is ,-xercised, as far
as ]>ossible,over news items sent from the
int- rior t<> Havana aud from that city
abroad. In that case, very reliable news
r.-s|>ceting Gen. A s Hero's movements need
not t©- expected. If, however, the reports
already published are to be depended upon
Gen. Aguero is meeting with fully as
much sympathy as lie had reason to ex
|,i©t. The government, it seems, was inis-
I. ,i by Aguero'* sympathizers reflecting
the place of landing of the filibustering
| expedition, and Gen. Aguero liad begun
i his march inland before the government
! troops knew that he was on the island.
I If Gen. Aguero proves himself to be a
leader of ability, the incipient revolution
| may grow into proportions that will give
i Spain a great deal of trouble. Spanish
! and American w ar vessels are cruising in
the neighborhood of Key West, with the
! purpose of preventing the escape of any
j other filibustering expeditibns. There
| doesn’t seem to lie much probability that
j any others are contemplated. There is no
; good reason for any more unless they are
I larger and much better equipped than
| that of Gen. Aguero was. If Cuba is ripe
tor revolution, as asserted, all the recruits
needed can be found on the island. There
may be. however, a great lack ol guns aud
ammunition.
Mr. Tilden, in his letter to the Iroquois
clul>. says that in* can no longer aspire to
Is; a leader in the great work of reform
which he so clearly maps out. This is
the first autltoritative announcement that
he is not a Presidential candidate, and
that he will not permit his name to go
before the convention. It ought to be
sufficient to convince everyone that Mr.
Tilden d< not regard himself as physi
cally able to undertake the arduous dutiA
which a Presidential campaign would
force upon Idm. At no time
lately, jierhaps. have those who have been
in a iiosition to lie intelligently informed
believed that Mr. Tilden would tie a can
didate before the convention, Some of
them, however, have insisted on urging
his nomination for a purpose which they
steadily kept and still keep in the back
ground. When Mr. Tilden gets ready to
say over his owu signature ‘'four candi
date I cannot be,” it is probable that this
purpose will be developed. •
The time appears to be approaching
when allusions to the “old ticket” will lie
greeted with the same warlike demonstra
tions as the words “hardly ever” were
not long ago.
Tne Pocahontas Verdict.
The verdict of the Coroner's jury in ref
erence to the Pocahontas mine explosion,
s -euis to be receiving a considerable
amount of adverse criticism. In exon
erating the company fromblame the jury
CTrtified that the explosion was ‘ninex
p?cted. unforeseen and unavoidable." and
it was somewhat fulsome in praising the
company for Its efforts and appliances for
preventing such a catastrophe.
This verdict seems not to have made a
favorable impression on those who heard
the evidence at the inquest, and who were
familiar with the condition of the mine
and the management of the company pre
vious to the explosion. It is claimed that
there was gas in the mine for a month be
fore the great catastrophe, and that it
existed in such quantities as to alarm the
more experienced miners and cause many
of them to leave the employ of the com
pany. It is even charged that men had
been burned to death by fire-damp in this
mine previous to the explosion, and that
atter blasts were fired long tongues
of blue flame would dart through
the mine. It is alleged that the engineer
who ran the train into the mine would
frequently uncouple his engine and run
out because it "fired the smoke.” Mining
experts allege that all this was owing to
defective ventilation, the fans used being
of tbe rudest kind, and the various ave
nues and openings in the mine not being
*o arranged as to secure the free circu
lation of the air and the driving out of the
fire-damp or gas. Probably the most im
portant charge against the company is
that it had no ga- men in it- employ to
w arn the inexjieriencfcd miners of danger.
Although this catastrophe was one of
the most destructive to human life in the
history of mining in this country, it may
b • said that there i* very little in the ver
dict of the jury to interest other sections
of the country. The question of the lia
bility of employers in this ease and those
of a similar nature is one of great im
portance. The verdict of a Coroner's j-iry
not being the subject qt judicial review,
can only ts- criticised and it- errors cor
rected by the verdict of the general public.
It i* true that Coroners'juries are not
always inclined to make full and complete
investigations in cases where the respon
sible parties are powerful and influential,
even where they are eompetent to do s<>.
In cases of disasters of this kind, a* well
a- shipwrecks, etc., there i* too much dis
p ,sition to saddle the blame upon provi
dence. There is more importance attach
ing to inquests than most people think,
and Coroners and Coroners' juries should
b intelligent, .fearless and experienced
men—men who know what is required of
them, and who will not h*-sitato to do it.
It is stated that Queen Victoria pre
vious to setting out for Darmstadt Tues
day, to attend the marriage of her grand
daughter, was oppressed with nervous
horror on account *f the recent dynamite
developments. The most extraordinary
precautions were taken to guard her |-r
---*n throughout the jouniey. An extra
foree of sentries were placed all along the
carriage read from Windsor Palace to the
station, and at the various stations on the
railroad, while a pilot engine preceded
the royal Strain, and several high railway
officials were stationed in the engine and
coaches. The royal yacht Osborne at
Sheerness. oh board which the Queen
slept Tuesday night, was strongly guard
’ll by responsible officers, and the harbor
and Medway river were thoroughly
patrolled by police boats. From this it
would apjM-ar that the head of royalty
does nof rest much more peacefully in
England than in Russia.

12,000 I’HTI iIES OF SHERMAN.
A Suggestion That They he Turned Over
to Blaine.
Somewhere among the political assets
of John Sherman, says a Washington let
ter to the New York Sun of
April 9, are ten or twelve thousand
copies of a lithographed portrait of the
great financier. They were obtained by
the Sherman Literary Bureau four years
ago with a view to “hilling the tow n,” as
is the custom of Mr. Haverly and other
theatre managers. This brilliant idea is
said to have been suggested by Col. James
B. O’Beirne, of New York, who was then
a special agent of tbe Treasury Depart
ment, engaged in Sherman's interests. It
w as U’Beirne's plan to place one of these
portraits, handsomely framed, in the win
dow of every shop, store and saloon in
Chicago, but’it was vetoed by Gov. Foster
and ot-er of the Sherman managers on the
ground that tbe Secretary of the Treasury
was not traveling on his shape, but on his
financial record. So the portraits were not
used, and Mr. sherman has not since been
able to realize on then).
It is suggested, a* the Danville investi
gation has entirely failed to arouse a boom
for Sherman, and as Blaine is making
headway in Ohio very fast, that these
lithographs be .turned over to a compe
tent bill poster to be pasted upon the
barns, school houses, and in other con
spicuous places in Mr. SHbrman’s native
State.
A Grateful and Heroic Negro.
Eufiula (Ahi., Times,
The circumstances of tiie most heroic
and romantic deed connected with the late
Everinghnm disaster was related to us
yesterday. After the boat had leeii l>:ink*-d
and a roster ot the crew was called, A*-
sistant Pilot Wingate did not answer.
“Where is Wingate?” someone shouted.
“Asleep, in his berth,” was the answer,
and by this time the supports of the ujv
per deck were being eaten rapidly aw ay,
and tin; flames circled round and round
over the hurricane deek, ticking the glass
of the stateroom doors, to disappear now
and anon through the" black curls
of dense and stifling smoke, then
again to streak the black sky like
the livid pulse of destruction that
it was, and then to soar away and vanish
into the oblivion of heat to sear the invisi
ble atoms of tin-air. It was in the midst
of this panorama of horror that a black
form was seen rushing toward Wingate's
berth and impending death. A surge, a
crash, and the door gave way, and Win
gate and his rescuer, through ways left
free by Providence, *-so aped in safety to
the shore. This negro, on hearing that
Pilot Wingate was in li is stateroom, ban
ished all fear of his own safety to rescue
him, which was done in return for tin
saving ot his ow n life by Wingate when
the WyJly went to pieces against the
Fort (iiiincs bridge last April. He was
going under for the third time when Win
gate snatched him from his grave. This
was gratitude, and a heroism equaled by
no instance in the calamitous records of
many and many a day, and deserves a
monument'in marble.
Bough on the Auctioneer.

Two little Icelandic boys went into an

asked them their nationality, and tlnding
out that they were Icelanders, he ex
pressed his surprise, having thought them
Germans. He requested the boys in his
turn to tell hint what they thought his
nationality to be. The two boys hesi
tated and "hung their heads. It was evi
dent that they disliked to express an
opinion upon the matter. But the worthy
putter up and knocker down of merchan
dise pressed them. At last one of the
lads, after saying that he did not like to
tell, aaid: “I think your father was an
Irishman and your mother a squaw.” The
auctioneer is puzzled yet to kuow what
his nationality really is.

TRANSFUSION FOB CONSUMP
TION.
The Experiment of a Young Surgeon in
a Hopeless Case—Not Entirely New.
An enthusiastic young surgeon in this
city, says the Nevy York Sun, ha* intro
duced a novel treatment for pulmonary
consumption, or tuberculosis, for which
a great future is predicted by his admir
ers. His first experiment was undertaken
four months ago, in the case of a young
man of 23, the only son of a wealthy dry
goods dealer, who was so far gone with
the disease that medical consultation had
pronounced recovers hopeless, and death
only a question of" a few weeks. The
remedy consisted in tbe repeated transfu
sion from the arterial system of a healthy
young man. who consented to act as do*
"nor. ol from four to six ounces of fresh
blood, according to the method styled ar
terio-venous. The patient was so exceed
ingly feeble when the first transfer
was undertaken that only four ounces
were transfused, in consequence of the
disturbance of the action of the heart that
immediately ensued. The recrudescence
of the vital energies was, however, extra
ordinary. From the date, almost from the
moment of the experiment the patient be
gan to improve. The tendency to emacia
tion disappeared and the pulmonary
symptoms were greatly reduced in severi
ty. Relish for food returned and the ner
vous prostration was greatly relieved.
Three weeks later the operation was re
j>eated. with six ounces of blood, the
method employed being that of Prof. Jo
seph TV. Howe, the leading advocate of
transfusion in the United States. Tbe re
sults of the second experiment were more
encouraging thap those of the first. Three
transfusions have now been undertaken,
and the young man is now improving so
rapidly, both in general health and local
symptoms, that the young surgeon is con
fident ot success without another resort
to the transfusion syringe.
"The idea is not anew one,” he re
marked, in resi>onse to a request for in
iormation. "Dr. Howe was the first to
try transfusion in a desperate ease of tu
bercular consumption with such success
that tl*-- late Prof. Van Buren exhibited
the patient to bis class in a clinical lec
ture, at which I was present, and de
scribed the operation. I firmly believe
that transfusion of blood is the true remej.
dv for consumption and diseases allied to
it, and if I ever have the oppostunitv I
shall test it iu leprosv.”
THE THETIS AND THE BEAR.
Preparation* at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard for the Greely Belief Expedi
tion.
At the Brooklyn navy yard, says the
New York Herald, 454 workmen are em
ployed in fitting out the steamers Bear
Thetis which are to go on the Greely re
lief expedition. Commander Schley is
giving personal supervision to the work
on the Thetjs. which is now in the dry
dock. The dutch coupling of the propeller
shaft of the Thetis was found cracked last
Saturday, and it is necessary to forge and
fit anew one. New decks are lx’ing put
on and extra thwartship and diagonal
braces are being put in. and her cabin
quarters for crew are being fitted up in
the same manner as have Irt-en those of
the Bear.
Captain Emery said yesterday: "My
vessel, the Bear, is nearly ready" for sea.
We arc completing the boats, and when
wc get th<- coal and provisions ready we
shall start for St. John, N. F., and, after
taking in more coal there, will proceed
north, hoping to reach Disco by the mid
dle of May. We shall sail from here on
April 24, and the Thetis will follow ten
days later.
in the several departments of the navy
yard everything is bustle in getting
things ready for the expedition. Besides
the provisions, the snow shoes and the
Alaska stockings in the paymaster’s
building, men are at work flitting the
clothing to be made from reindeer and
seal skins. In the Equipment Depart
ment the earj,enters are building the
sledges, which are to l>e made with double
runnqrs, and are of various sizes, to be
drawn by dogs and bv hand.
The steam launches, one for each ves
sel. are provided with a combination joint
on the screw shafts so as to raise the
screws from the water in case of danger
from ice. The condenser for making fresh
water for drinking purposes and for the
feeding of the boilers is a pipe running
along the bottom of the Imat parallel with
the keel. For the other boats sled runners
have t*een made so as to be attached and
detached at any time, and for some of the
boats the runners will be attached perma
nentlv.
A Distracted Mother.
A young married lady of Baltimore, be
lieving that she was on her deathbed, and
wishing to make provision as far as pos
sible for her infant child, recently intrust
ed it tp the care of a nurse, giving her s2o
with which to pay its board at an infant
asylum until other arrangements could be
made. The nurse promised to comply,
and took the child and the S2O, but instead
of entrusting the infant to the Sisters in
charge of the asylum the woman pocketed
the money, placed the baby in a basket,
and hung it to the door-knob at theasylum.
It was taken in and placed in the unknown
ward with nearly a hundred waifs. Re
cently the mother recovered .sufficient ly
to go in search of the child, but when shi
called at the institution was terribly
shocked at being told that her infant
could not be identified. The distracted
mother eagerly scanned the faces of a
dozen young babies, but was unable, and
is still so, to identify her own offspring.
The Plan Failed.
Wall Street -Vewt.
A German tailor in a village in Canada
failed a few dass ago and called a meet
ing of his creditors. An investigation
seemed to show that his liabilities were
$4,000 and his assets SI,OOO. "It thus ap
pears,” said one of his creditors, “that
you ean pay 25 cents on the dollar.”
"Vhell, I don't figure like dot," replied
the tailor. "How do you figure ?” "Vhy,
I pays feefty cents on der dollar.” “How
can you do that when your assets only
allow for one-fourth?” "Vhell, I pring’s
the odder money down from der house.”
He was not jiermitted to fail.
