Pro-poets for TarilT Reform Legis
lation.
The prospect taal a tariff bill will !>e
passed during the present session ot Con
g-vi>* i * not encouraging. At the Ixjgin-
Ling of the session there were various
reports indicating that Air. Randall could
be counted on to support a tarifi reform
: lii,, aim It was even said by some of bis
admirers that he was thinking ot intro
ducing it bill to reduce and equalize the
tariff. It Is oTideut that Mr. Randall has
no inteulmu of lending tne tariff reform
ers a aeiping hand, whatever may have
been his purpose iu Ducemlier. it is
probable, however, that at no time has ho
had any intention to consent to a reduc
ti< □ of the tariff, although he may have
expressed himself in favor of tariff re
vision.
Of course It cannot be denied that Mr.
Randall has considerable influence in his
party, his following in the house, al
though not large, is sufficient probably to
seriously interfere with the passage of a
tariff bill. That he intends to oppose tari if
reduction there is no longer any room to
doubt. At the conference of the taiiff
reform leaders ol the House a day or two
ago, to which he was invited, he stated
very emphatically that the Morrison bill
did not suit him, and left the imnressiou
that no bill that could be framed that
provided for reducing the tariff, would
satisfy him. In fact, he said to Messrs.
Carlisle and Morrison that in tne present
disturbed condition of the labor of the
country he was opposed to touching the
tariff.
It is hardly probable, however, that the
tariff reform leaders will abaudou all idea
of tariff reform legislation simply because
Mr. Randall has announced bis pur;>ose
to play tne part of an obstructionist.
The country expects that the Democratic
majority in the House will make an hon
est effort to out down tariff taxation. If
this expectation is not realized it will be
said tnat tde Democratic party has not
been true to its pledges.
Mr. Randall’s arguments in behalf of
protection are not so potent in strength
ening his following in the House as is the
fear of some Democratic members that if
the tariff is reduced, local interests In
their districts will suffer, and of others,
that tariff reform legislation will array
the protection Democrats against tbe
party.
It is apparent, however, that if argu
ments of that kind are to prevail the tariff
will not be reduced, and the Democratic
party will occupy the position of pretend
ing to be auxrous to do what it never se
riously attempts to do. Notwithstanding
the position Mr. Randall has taken, and
the hostility that may reasonably be ex
pected from a small taction of Democrats
in the Houe. the Democratic party can
not afford to abandon all efforts in bebalf
of tariff reductions. It must be
aggressive. Defeat must be followed by
renewed efforts. Of course it will hardly
be denied tnat there is not wide room for
reduction. There is comparatively little
difference in the tariff now and that es
tablished daring the war on articles
manufactured in this country.
In 1870 there was a slight reduction in
the duties on a few luxuries, and in 1872
a redaction of 10 per cent. In 1875, how
ever, the 10 percent, reduction was re
pealed. In 1883 the Tariff Commission
pretended to make a reduction of 20 per
cent., but only succeeded in making one
of 2 per cent. In fact, on some articles the
duties were increased. It is apparent
from this statement that there is ample
room for reduction, and that it is time
that it was made. That the chances for
tbe passage or a tariff bill at this session
are not good, is no reason why an earnest
effort in behalf of such a bill should cot
be made. There may be success when it
is least expected, and, besides, constant
effort is needed to secure success.
The River and Harbor Bill.
It is expected that the river and harbor
bill will be reported early next week. It
is reported thst it will carry about $14,-
000,000. If tnls report is correct the
amount is larger by $2,000,000 than tbs
committee, when it began its work, in
tended it should be. However, the amount
is not too large if the various appropria
tions are for the benefit of rivers and har
bors which really ought to be improved.
Of course, nothing is yet known about
the amounts which particular improve
ments will get. Doubtless, however, there
will be some disappointment. The claims
of all sections could not be satisfied with
out making the amount of
tbe bill a great deal more than
$14,000,000. We shall have occasion to re
joice II tbe rivers and harbors in this sec
tion of the South are dealt with liberally,
particularly that part of the Savaunah
river which is the outlet of this city to the
sea. it is to be regretted that the survey
for deeper water than 22 feet from the
cross-tides to tbe sea is not before the
committee, so that an appropriation for
further improvements than are now pro
vided for might be put in the pending bill.
Mr. Edmuuds, doubtless, feels that he
has gained a victory. The Republican
Senators stood by him and voted for bis
resolutions, which provide that no nomi
nations shall be confirmed In cases where
removals have been made, unless' the
President furnishes bis reasons for making
the removals. It is pretty safe to say
that the President will not retire from the
position he has taken In this matter. It
remains to be seen whether the Republi
can Senators will stand by the position to
which the resolutions bind them. The
probabilities are that they will practi
cally abandon their position and confirm
nominations against which no well sus
tained charges arc made.
The Connecticut Legislature tbs other

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY. MARCH 27, 1886.
Showing I'p Mr. Edmunds.
There was a lively time in the Judiciary
Committee a day or two ago over the res
olution introduced into the senate by
Senator Beck to remove t'neaeal of secrecy
from the Judiciary Committee so iar as
to permit its proceedings in the case oi
toe Duskin nomination in 1881 to he in *de
public. Duskin is the Alabama ex-Uoited
status Attorney whose removal gave rise
to the partisan debate in the Sen
ate. That the Beck resolution hit Sena
tor Edmunds very hard is generally be
lieved. It is said that when Duskin’s
nomination was sent to the Senate by Mr.
Arthur, Senator Edmunds protested
against it with vigor as one wholly untit
to be made. In fact, it is alleged that he
went to Mr. Arthur and begged him to
withdraw it.
if this statement of the case is true the
public ought to know it, and that there is
much truth in it is believed because of the
refusal of the Republican Senators to
pass the Beck resolution and let the pro
ceedings of the Judiciary Committee
covering the consideration of the Duskin
nomination he made public.
Assuming that Duskin's appointment
was an unfit one, and that Mr. Edmunds
knew that it was unlit, does not the Ver
mont Senator appear to occupy a rather
unenviable position t While it is true that
Duskin’s unfitness has nothing to do
with the principal involved in the Senate
debate, yet the fact cannot be over
looked that Mr, Edmunds has forced
the Senate to say that Duskin shall not
be removed unless the President furnishes
his reasons for suspending him. although
be has in his possession ample evidence
ot Duskin’s unfitness.
The Irish Bills.
Mr. Gladstone now announces that he
will bring forward bis measures for the
relief of Ireland—the home rule and land
purchase bills—on April 8. They were
not presented on March 22 as was ex
pected. for the reason perhaps that they
were not fully prepared. To prepare these
bills is not an easy task, but it is easier
perhaps than it will be to get them passed
by Parliament. In preparing the bills
the fact has to be kept in mind that they
must not only be acceptable to the Irish
people, but must be approved by the peo
pleol England. In about all previous
measures for tbe relief of Ireland the
English people undertook to say
what ought to be acceptable to Ireland
rather than to provide something really
acceptable to them. They therefore,
always failed to accomplish anything sat
isfactory. It is probable that Mr. Glad
stone, who appears to be sincerely anx
ious to crown his remarkable career with
the settlement of the Irish question, is
trying to frame measures which will meet
with the approval of Ireland, and, at the
same time, receive the sanction of Eng
land.
Of the two bills, that providing for the
purchase of the lands of the Irish land
lords presents the most difficulties. As
the English taxpayers will have to fur
nish the money—and it is a very pretty
sum—they will want to be very certain
that the benefits they will receive will he
equal to, if not greater than, the sacri
fices they will have to make. Doubtless
in both England and Ireland April Bis
being looked forward to as a very impor
tant day.
A Celebrated Vase.
There has been an Immense amount of
discussion about the “peach-blow” vase,
alleged to have been bnngbt at the Morgan
art sale by Mr. Walters, of Baltimore, for
SIB,OOO. When it was announced that
Mr. Walters was the purchaser that gen
tleman published a denial. It was then
denied that the purchase price was $lB,-
000. Whether tbe price was slß,ol*o or
not it is pretty safe to say that the vase
has received fully SIB,OOO worth of adver
tising in the newspapers.
The New York Times prints a state
ment that tbe vase is not a “peach-blow”
at all, but a “crushed strawberry,” and
that it is of a kiud that is held in hut
small esteem in China. It is further
alleged in tbe Times' statement that it
originally cost only about S2OO in gold,
and that It was subsequently sold to Mrs.
Morgan for $12,000.
About all the New York papers have
had something to say about the vase,
several of them going so far as to discuss
it editorially. These discussions seem io
have brought out the rather remarkable
fact that lu the great city of New
York there isn’t any authority on vases,
and that there exists a great deal of doubt
whether the particular vase in question is
worth SIB,OOO or only S2OO.
If Mr, Walters has the vase, he has the
satisfaction of knowing that it has at
tracted more attSDtion, and has bad more
said about it, than any other vase in the
country whether it is a “peach-biow”
and worth SIB,OOO or not.
The Houston Home Journal says:
“Anti-Prohibition papers in Georgia
seem to take great delight in giving pub
licity to a rumor to tbe effect that there
is a movement on loot to have anew elec
tion in Houston on the liquor ques
tion. We hone they will take occasion to
correct ths error. There is no such move
ment on foot in Houston, nor is there
likely to be. The people of Houston are
satisfied, and have no desire for a change
on this line.” Now that Pulaski county
has gone for prohibition, and Dooly and
Macon counties propose to follow its ex
ample, no doubt the good results of tbe
adoption of the law will be more conspic
uous ln Houston than evsr before.
The R‘publican I’niladelphia Press is
compelled to admit “that the successful
man among the sixteen candidates for
Postmaster at Bradford is ex-M ay or (h ;s.
B. Whitehead, a practical reformer, whose
vigorous exiKxsure of corruption in ths
polities of that city is a good assurance
that he will do satisfactory work in his
new position.” And then it adds, with a
touch of melancholy malignity: “Mr.
Whitehead Is a strong Democratic parti
san. and has no Mugwump frills about
him.”
It is to be hoped that politlos, which Is
getting to be pretty warm all over ths
State, will not prevent the people from
giving due attention to potatoes and other
provision crops.

back and forth over the bar like a black
comet. At another word of command it
slopped short, and Its trainer produced a
long, keen-edged butcher knife. Holding the

knife is sharp.” It sat up on its haunches
and stretching out one paw it passed it gently
down the keeu edge of ihe blade, it theD ex

We wake up aud make up,
We rake up and fake up,
And ue the word "up” when we can;
We drink up and Ihiok up,
We kink up and shrink up,
And do up a shirt or a uiau.
We slack up and back up.
We stack np and whack up,
And ho and up a man or an ace:
We beerup and cheer up,
We steer up and clear np,
And work up ourselves or a casa
We walk np and talk up,

And everywhere "up” ’s to be heard:

O'her New bngl nd poet at bis home In the

“What i* the booking to New York?” in
quired a young man w ith a queer-shaped hat
on hi* head ami a drawl in his voice, as he
stood before the ticket window of an Eastern
railroad
“Seventeen dollars,” said ;he ticket agent.
“You mean—aw—three pound ten, eh?”
“No, I mean sl7. I don’t kuow anything
about your three poun’ ten. Ttcset.”
“Y-a-a-s, you may book me. But three
poun’ ten is too deuced much, doncher know;
too awfully much. Does that include me lug
gage!”
He was informed that his luggage would be
carried, and started off to look after it. with
his one-eye glass elevated towards the roof of
the station house.
••That chap must be an Englishman,” re
marked the ticket agent.
” Engli-hrnan. the devil!” replied the break
man wtio chanced to be standing by. I know

One Sunday a short time since he made an

Cleveland s career was the moat uneventful
of any man’s I ever knew. He got up in the

most uucanny specimen of a bulldog that ever
lived in Buffalo.”
•"'as be much attached to dog*?”
“No. I do not think he was; but he had one
little animal that was hia constant companion
until a homely white brute belonging to Fay

chewed him all up. C eveland swore ven
geance, an 1 sent around to Dean Wilson, the
dog-lighter, prize.figh-er. co k-fighter, and
every other kind of fighter, and gave tutu
orders to purchase the wickedest bulldog that
he conld come across. The result, w;t* that
