Americus Recorder. W. L. OUIIMKH, Editor. Official Organ of Webster County. WEDKEIDAY. MAY 14, 1884. 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.

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.
