THE TARIFF VOTE.
An analysis of the forty-one votes
given by Democrats against the
Morrison tariff bill shows that twen
ty-three of them came from the
three states of Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Illinois, neither of which has
given an eieotorlal vote to a Demo,
cratic candidate for President in
twenty-five years. Four votes from
California and irom Connecticut,
each of these States having given
their electoral votcB to the Demo
cratic candidate for President once
in twenty-five years. There were
hut fire votes (couuliug Finerty us
a Democrat) west of the Ohio State
line, and but four south of the Ohio
River and the State of Maryland
recorded in favor of tho motion to
strike out. Thu much boasted
“pivotal State”of New York had
traded us off again, and the six
Democratic votes from that State
cast against us would have given
the revenue reformers a good work,
ing majority bad they been thrown
in oar favor.
There is something in these facts
that are worth thinking over by
Democrats who desire the success
of their party. The policy of the
Democratic party has too long been
controlled by a minority faction
headed by “rule or ruin leaders,”
who have sought their selfish ends
rather than the good of the party,
and who have net scrupled to nlly
themselves with the enemies of the
party to attain their ends.

Women are skillful. “Who is
that horrid-whisky bloal?” asked a
lady of an acquaintance, while tlicx
stood viewing the guests at a fash-
[enable reception. “Which one?”
"That one with the red mustache
and awful nose. Don't yon see?”
“Heis my husband.” “Oh,”laugh
ed the Indy, “I see that you are not
sensitive,” although she saw ven
geance in the eyes of the insulted
lady. “Several nights ago a friend
made a similar remark about my
husband and I became very angry.
I declared it would auger any wo
man; but ray friend said that yon
having the best husband in the
world, would not care and I wager
ed a pair of gloves that you would;
but you sec I have lost. I hear
that your husband is spokon of ns
an available candidate lor Govern-
or. How clover he must be."

A number ol merchants and innu-
ufaoturors of New York City held
a meeting at the Windsor Hotel
last week, to discuss the means of
tariff reform. Several interesting
addresses wero made, one or two
in fnvor of a tariff strictly for reve
nue, but the most of them in fnvor
of such a revision of thu present
tariff us would cut down excessive
or prohibitory duties and admit
raw materials free. This meeting
was preliminary to a definite or
ganisation which is to be known ns
the manufacturers’ tariff reform
leaguo. An executive committee
of five was appointed by the chair
man to draw up a plan of the or
ganization and the meeting. It is
a business movement entirely, and
has no connection with party poli
tics.

The sale of lota In the new city
of Sheffield, Ala., last week was
phenomenally successful. About
14 acres of land woro sold for nonrly
$5,00,000, and the proposed town
nppoara to bo on n regular boom.
The lots brought high prices, and
many of them probably sold for
more than they will bring live
years from now. Investments in
lots at fuuey prices in towns tliut
are to bo developed in the future
arc generally risky. However, the
company that has bought land at
about ten or fifteen dollars per aero
and Is selling It at $2,000 to $3,000
per acre can’t be ill dnngcr of los
ing very much. I'robably, however,
a good portion of the lots were
bought by members ol the Sheffield
Company. Towns have been boom
ed In that manner in the past.
