AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY.
BY FLORENCE E DIAMOND.
CHAPTER XIL "
ft I Tviir not "weary the reader with minute
details of my establishment at Caledon
0F ~ - Heights, suffice it that in less than three
months after Miss Armund's death I found
myself installed as mistress there, though
I could hardly make myself believe it, and
it was long before I could make myself at
home in the grand old house whose rooms I
had once stolen through like a thief. I then
turned my attention to the Barretts and
Claytons. They had at first attempted to
dispute my claim, but unable to do so they
had vacated the Heights, refusing, how.
ever, to speak or recognize me in any wayall
except Bertie Clayton, who came to visit
me and seemed really pleased at my rein
station. He begged me earnestly, however,
to go and see if anything could be done for
j Irving Barrett; ho was a wild, reckless fellow,
Bert declared, yet he was his brother
and it drove him wild to think of his disgrace.
I promised to do what I could, but I
feared it would be little. I will confess that
at first my hatred of Irving Barrett and my
remembrance of his unkind treatment of
me for awhile hardened my heart and made
me half decide not to keep my promise to
Bert, especially when I remembered the
blow he had given me and the scar I still
carried of it on my temple. But I remembered
the words: "Except ye forgive ye
can not be forgiven," and I relented. Irma, '
loo, exciiea my sympniay. x>ert aeciarea
she was wearing herself to a shadow grievm
ing over her brother's misfortune and refusing
to go out and see any one. I felt for
the girl after all?proud and haughty as she ?
was/ This was a terrible blow to her. I en*
gaged the services of the best criminal lawyer
in the State to defend Irving,-and with
the influence of Mr. Dudley, Mr. Leiberg
and other rich and influential men whose
favor I secured, and by a most liberal sup9
/ ply of morfey I managed to secure Irving's
acquittal.
Whether he really felt the extravagant
expressions of gratitude he expressed I can
j nottelL But that he was exceedingly glad
to escape fronfthe predicaments in to which
he had gotten himself I am certain.
^ I then proceeded -to offer the Barretts the
^ . amount of the legacy provided for them in
my father's will. Irving took his share
K --eagerly, and soon after left for the West.

anxious txLjConcdliate hear if possible. I
foaiKTTier lrring' with her parents in a
rather small but comfortable house in B?
. street. I was ushered into the parlor
where Irma sat, her hands folded listlessly
I " on her lap, her golden hair hanging in care
lesi disorder about her face and neck. She i
^greeted me coldly, yet with a dreamy sort
of absent-mindedness that made me t.hir.V a
her thoughts were far away,
i "I have come, Irma," I said, "to endeavor s
to be friends with you. Let the past be g
past; we can not alter it. I know that you |
have been brought up to think yourself an
heiress. Irma, people hive honored and ^
t flattered you because ycu had -wealth, and T
it is, of course, a great trial to you to find c
that such is not the ease. Yet, I am not to-, a
blame for this. Surely you should feel no e
enmity against me for claiming only wnat is I
_my just right. "We have not been to blame, i
Irma, you or I, for the wicked scheme. Let t
us be friends. I helped your brother, let
me'helpyou. My father left you a legacy ?
of five thousand. Please accept it, and I c
will aid you in any other way I can, also.
Irma did not answer me at first. Her ,
- -fnr-a ahoTrrfvl no emotion nntfl I had finished .
? " c speaking. Then she arose, her features ?
' working-convulsively, and came and stood *
% 'before us. a
^ "I do not -want your bounty, Dorcas Cale- s
^ don," she almost hissed between her shut c
teeth. "You have wronged me beyond re- i
-? pair. Money, I do not care for that, but you f

^ ' and have always loved. His love and esteem.
I valued ten times more than the Cal- 1
odoh estate, and you have robbed me of \
? fcoth." 1
She paused with a dry SQb. but went on in 3
a moment. "You offer me friendship, as if <
all the friendship in the -world could com- 1
pensa^e me for my love. I do not want your i
j friendship or your money, for sooner than ]
J touch, a cent of it I would starve in the <
[ - . street You are mistress of CaLedonnow.
[ Oliver Dudley is your devoted slave. May
yon be very happy." "
I * She paused. I knew not what to say. Her
V - "wild, impassioned words showed me the '
. * depth of her passionate, willful nature, and
her bold illusion to Oliver Dudley made my 1
J . cheek crimson, yet my heart swelled with <
k v pity for her. Once morel endeavored to 1
m. . comfort her.
PS ' <{You speak wildly, Irnia," I said. "Mr. .
Dudley is nothing to me except a friend." i
I blushed the next instant, though, remembering
that I did regard him in a dil-- (
: j . fcrent light, though that he had aught except
a friendly feeling for me remained to .
be seen. "
' "And you refuse my offer of friendship, ;
? Hiss Barrett," I saiu, rising. She bowed :
her head. i
"You are wrong, fearfully wrong," I
cried. "Believe me, Oliver Dudley is only !
a friend to me." !
She raised her eyes, hard and stony, to
mine. Never shall I forget their cold, hope
less look.
v "You waste your words, Miss. Caledon,"
was all she said, and I walked away, leav

the window, her waxen hands folded in her
lap.
"Oh! tie wickedness of this world?" I
cried, as I went homeward.
**Bnt for her mother's wioked scheme of
defrauding a helpless orphan, Irma would
to-day have been a happy girl, aad we
should have been as dear sisters together."
"I had been at Caledon Heights a year
when Mr. Dudley, returning from the
North where he had been attending the
settling of lils father's estate, made mc a
formal offer of his hand and heart.
"I have always loved you, Do&as," he
said. You are the one woman in the world I
would choose for my wife. Without your
love I am miserable, indeed. Surely you
will not send me away, Dorcas. Only give
120 the smallest share of your love and I
shall be content."'
It is needless to rccord my answer. Suffice
to say that IIr. Dudley did not leave,
^ndtha.t he confessed the share I sranted
him of my love proved quite sufficient.
TFe were married quietly, only the dear
friends I had knov.11 in the years of my adversity
being present. Among these were
Bertie Clayt->r., -whose congratulations were
as -warm ana hearty as one -would wish.
3Iy honored rgrandparents, in whose
good graces 1 am happy to say I at once
found myself, immediately took up their
residence at the Heights at my earnest solicitation.
Also.my dear adopted mother became
an inmate of my home, for I could not
bear to be separated from ner who had
been to me mother, friend and sister in the .
time when friendly hands were rare. ;
A few words more, and I -will close. Irma
Barrett ever refused stubbornly to accept '
my friendship or my love; she married a '
wealthy planter in after years, but I fear >
was never happy or contented. Irving

is to-day no more upright or h?nest manor '{

which he lives. Bertie Clayton is a talented
young lawyer and loved by all who know ;
him. Mr. and Mrs. Clayton are both sleep- :
ing quiety in Rose Bill Cemetery and have. ]
been for many years. Kear their graves is 1
that of Agnes Armund;' let us hope after
life's fitful fcyer their sleep is sweet. .
So clones this short and simple story of ,
my life. After all the darkc louds were '
swept away and the sun shone brighter
than ever, there is only one regret, ono sor- '
row over which I can never feel quite rec- J

But after all what matters ft? TTill there ]

by the arrival at the fort of an ofiicer of

Stevenson were personally known. They
were immediately released, and so, instead
of being sent to Washington under
guard as assassins of Lincoln, they
dined with the Colonel and resumed their

OUR AGRICULTURAL REVIVAL
*
CHEERING ACCOU.\TS FROM ALL OVER
THE STATE.
What the Farmers of South Carolina Have
Been Doing for Themselves and the
State?Suggestions for the Future.
The February number of the Monthly
Report of the State Department of Agriculture
contains the following "Notes"
which will be read with interest by the
farmers:
For the last two years there has been
something of an agricultural revival in
South Carolina. The farmers have
shown great interest, as they should do,
in public affairs. Numerous meetings
have been held and various subjects discussed.
We would be glad if th'e secretaries*
of every agricultural club in the
State would send the Commissioner a
list of the members of the club, so that
the publications of the Department could
be mailed them. We would like also to
be informed whenever agricultural subjects
are discussed, and if the Department
can furnish any information on
any of the subjects in which the farmers
are interested it will be most cheerfully
given.
In this connection the attention of
?ese clubs is called to the notice frequently
published by the .Department
that analyses of fertilizers wall be made
cor iarmers witnout cnargev jjirecuons
for drawing samples, which are very
plain, will be furnished upon application
to the Commissioner.
Nothing shows more conclusively the
benefits of the official control of the
sales of fertilizers, and the efficiency of
the system of fertilizer analyses adopted
by the South Carolina Department of
Agriculture, than the fact that complaints
of worthless fertilizers are rarely
sver heard; and notwithstanding that the
Department has frequently offered- to
make analyses for farmers free, very few
samples are ever sent in, thus showing
she confidence of those most interested
in the analyses of fertilizers. Tke work
jf the Department therefore, has been
>f great value to manufacturer and consumer.
From present indications the sales of
commercial fertilizers will exceed those
)f former years. The consumption will
possibly be greater than in any other
fear since 1885.
The Department has received no
official statements on the subject, but un)ffiaial
reports show that the small grain
irop of the Si ate is very promising j
it this time, and unless some unusual
lisaster overtakes the crop it will be one

/j. uuo yxvu,uvw4 xu VLLV AA*
nanv years. The winter has been so
nild that no part of the crop has s'ufFer}d
in any way from cold weather.
Under authority given by the Board
he Commissioner has appointed three
patrols at Georgetown and one at Oringeburg
to prevent illegal fishing in the
Pee Dee and Waccamaw and Edisto
Rivers dufing the close time. It is
loped that the fishermen will not make
t necessary for these officials to take
my action against them during the sea
1 -Ll__J T1 Tlf fJTi. 4-^a
kLL&v an will, cueonuuj uuc v tuc
aws. The patrols have been instructed
o report all violations of the law, and
10 effort will be spared by those whose
luty it is to see that the laws are en'orced
to bring all offenders to trial.
Che laws are wise and proper, and it is
loped that the fishermen will appreciate
his fact and save the officials the perormarce
of a disagreeable duty.
No better idea of the varied and important
character of the work of the
south Carolina Department of Agriculiure
can be given than a statement of the
'orce engaged in the performance of that
vork. The Board of Agriculture, composed
of ten members, is the directing
jower. The executive force consists of
he Commissioner and his Clerk, the
Chemist, the Curator of the Museum,
itree Inspectors of Fertilisers, four Fish
Patrols, a Special Assistant in the Phosphate
Department and a Veterinary
Surgeon and the Signal Service Observer,
the Director and two Superintendents
of Experiment Stations, making
seventeen persons actively employed,
[n addition to these there are connected
vith the State "Weather Service about
iwenty voluntary observers, who furnish
nonthly weather reports, about 500
iounty correspondents, who make monthy
crop reports and furnish other infornation.
The Inspectors of Fertilizers are acavely
engaged in drawing samples in
raiious parts of the State. One is in
ower Carolina, one in the upper section
ind one in the eastern section.
Mr. i. M. Kogers, of Florence, b. U.,
ias furnished the News and Courier a
rery interesting article on tobacco cul;ure.
He says that in 1887 Mr. F. M.
Rogers, Jr., planted twenty acres and
las sold to date sixteen tierces of tobac50
for 33,200, having enough on hand
md shipped (but still unsold) to make
1 total of $4500. His oxpenses will
reach $1,500. This leaves him a clear
profit of ?3,000 on twenty acres, or ?150
per acre.
The great blizzards in the Northwest
iiave been so disastrous chat many persons
in that section are looking Southward
for more pleasant homes. They
;an find no better place on earth than
South Carolina, and all good citizens
irom the frozen regions of Dakota, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Ohio or elsewhere

where they will find cheap lands, pure
water, congenial homes and a delightful
jlimate. The Commissioner of Agriculture
will cheerfully furnish any information
about the State that may be desired.
The Springfield (Ohio) Farm and
Fireside publishes a very interesting letter
from S. W. Phares, of Harper's
Mills, West Virginia, in which the
writer asks the editor to tell him where
ae can find the kind of home he desires
?one where he can support himself in
fche dairy and poultry business and enjoy
i climate beneficial to a person suffering
trom pulmonary trouoies. xne eaitor
rery kindly and properly advises the
2orrespondect to go to Aiken or Columbia,
South Carolina, and if he had taken
a year to study the question and looked
Dver the map of the world he could not
have given better advice.
Daring the past month the Department
of Agriculture has received numerous
inquiries about the resources and
advantages of South Carolina. Anion?
them one party asks for grazing lands,
another for timber lands, another desires
to locate a factory in some locality
where rashes grow abundantly. Another
desires to know where the palmetto
flourishes. A number of responses to
these inquiries have been received from
parties owning land, but all others who
may have such lands as are desired are
requested to correspond with the Com
missioner of Agriculture at Columbia.
The Board of Agriculture has been
authorized by the Legislature to hold
Farmers' Institutes and Conventions,
J

and action in regard thereto will be taken
at the next meeting of the BoaiCL on^ the
1st of March. In the meantime agricultural
associations in the State can be
making arrangements to co-operate with
the Department in this important work.
This is a matter in which the farmers
should feel the greatest possible interest,
and it is hoped that all will cordially and
enthusiastically support the Board in
whatever policy may be decided upon in
the conduct of these meetings.
Inquiries continue to come to the Department
of Agriculture regarding the
resources of the State. The gentleman
from Onio who some weeks ago inquired
about grazing lands writes that he will
visit South Carolina in the course of a
few months and examine some of the
numerous farms that have been offered
him.' He has made a visit to Tennessee,
but returned home somewhat disappointed
with the result of his investigations
there. He evidently expects to find better
grazing lands in South Carolina, and
refers particularly to the coast region of
the State.
The gentleman who inquired about the
growth of rashes, with a view of establishing
a $230,000 factory to manufacture
them into summer matting, acknowledges
the receipt of information sent
him, and has opened correspondence
with parties who can furnish the rushes
in abundance.
A gentleman in Xew York city writes
for a copy of the Department's special
report on the State's exhibit at New
Orleans. The report, he says, contains
valuable information that he desires to
use in Ltis studies on natural history.
A party in Philadelphia desires information
about the mineral, timber and
agrictiltural resources of the State.
TOBACCO CULTURE.
The Experience of a South Carolina Farmer
in Growing the Weed.
Dr. J. B. 0. Landrum, of Spartanburg
county, writes as follows to the
Department of Agriculture:
"I find after all that the planting of a
cmoll f> .0-cs ViftTir]finmAlT_ if
nicely bandied. I am now selling my
tobacco in the neighborhood and surrounding
country very readily at 10 to
15 cents per pound, and will soon have
sold all 1 have on hand.
"Let me give you a little of my experience
in tobacco culture. In 1885 I
planted five acres. I was short-sighted
in sowing enough seed for plants. I had
plants, but the trouble was I could not
get them big enough for early setting,
hence I.had to resort to begging from
every source. It was not until about the
last of May that I got all the ground
(which was newly cleared, well rooted,
well pulverized and well manured^set in

owing to the heat of the sun, notwithstanding
I shaded them, and some of
those that lived were caught by the
frost and had to be cut before ripening
which I tried to hurry by cutting)
through the stalk and peeling the bark
around the same. The consequence was
that my tobacco, especially the late |
setting, was of an inferior kind, not all
being of improved varieties. I did not
take enough precaution to kill the tobacco
flies, and I had worms by the thousands.
In spite of all my efforts to exterminate
them they devoured my
tobacco, and a good deal of it was ragged
and full of holes. I still went to work

bought flues. I endeavored to get a man
to cure for me, but failed; we went to
work and endeavored to cure after England's
method, and succeeded in getting
some very nice tobacco. At odd times
I would stop and classify, and looked
anxiously for a time to ship and meet
with a remunerative return, which time
never came. I shipped to Durham, X.
C., about 150 pounds, prepaid the
freight, and was looking for a handsome
return; when the return came I found I
had been cheated in weights, and my
tobacco had been bid off at 2 cents per
pound. It did not pay the freight. I
soon saw the trick. The tobacco boom
had flooded the markets, and the manufacturers
could get all they wanted with
out bidding against each other. I was
forced to keep all I had on hand, and
sorrow over my folly.
"In 1886 I planted an acre, but was
very careless in the management of it,
being somewhat disheartened as to the
profitableness of the culture. I am convinced,
on reflection, that a very small
crop will pay. It gives employment to
hands when the ground is too wet for
ether work. It gives employment after

Bu| for the operations of the Internal
Revenue laws I could load my tobacco
in my wagon and cash the same in
twenty-four hours. I am in favor of the
repeal of the internal revenue tax on
tobacco."
How to Get Kid of tlie Crows.
A Chester (Pa.) gentleman tells an interesting
story of the manner in which
a Delaware farmer got rid of crows. He
was greatly troubled by the depredations
of these birds, and all the means to drive
them away permanently having failed,
he tried an original plan. Taking a half
peck or more of corn he soaked it thoroughly
in whiskey and then scattered
the cereal along the fence of the field
chiefly visited by the feathered thieves,
He soon had a number of crows eating
t.hfi dnrtfcnrfid o.nrn. and as thev didn't flv
away to observe the effect of the -dose.
H? found every crow dri.uk, some lying
over on their sides, others tottering
aronnd in a maudlin attempt to fly. He
could have killed every one, but resolved
to wait the outcome of the
drunk. Gradually the birds recovered,
and one by one flew unsteadily away.
During the remainder of the season the
farmer was not troubled by a single
crovr.?Louisville Home and Farm.

The Barnwell People gives a model
woman, having previously presented the

"She is a resident of Hampton connty,

met its duties biavely, deserving and receiving
the respect of all -who know her.
For thirty years she has followed the
plough and engaged in the usual round
of farm labor. Last year she made nine
bales of cotton, besides provisions, with
one plough. She has dug one well,
built five chimneys, and frequently split
a hundred rails a day. She has a good
home of i^er own, enjoys excellent
health, and is sending her children to
school regularly. Her life is an eloquent
rebuke to many strong men who have
not equalled her honorable record,"

last year hunted down eighty-five illegal
medical practitioners, who were humbugging
ignorant people out 0/ their money.
Teu of the swindlers were sent to prison,
and from the other jeventy five fines

"What can and what cannot make a

Rev. Dr. Talmage's discourse at the
Brooklyn Tabernacle Sunday morning.
It was the seventh of the series of popular
sermons to the women of America,
and hundreds more than could find accommodation
went to the church. "The :

Pr. Tplmaffe, "a few days ago wrote

happy. The chief aim of life ought to
be usefulness, not happiness; but happiness
always follows usefulness.' This
morning's text in a strong way sets forth
the truth that a woman who seeks in
worldly advantage her chief enjoyment
will come to disappointment and death. 1
'She that liveth in pleasure is dead while :
she liveth.'
"I correct the popular impression that
people are;" happier in childhood and i
youth than they will ever be again. If <
we live aright," the older the happier. '
The happiest woman .that I ever knew ]
was a Christian octogenarian. I have to !
say to a gTeat many of the young people j
that the most miserable time you are ^
ever to have is just now. As you ad- 1
vance in life, as you come out into the (
world and have your herd and heart all
full of good, honest, practical' Christian
work, then you will know what it is to ^
begin to be happy. There are those who .
would have us believe that life is chasing

have not found it so.
"And in tho first place, I advise you '
not to build your happiness upon mere
social position. Persons at your age, j
looking off upou life, are 3pt to think
that "if, by some stroke of what is called *
good luck, you could arrive -in an elevated
and affluent position, a little high- {
er than that in which God has called j
you to live, you would be completely 1
happy. Infinite mistake! If the sob of
unhappy womanhood in the great cities J
could break through the tapestried wall, t
that sob would come along your streets ]

Sometimes I have heard in the rustling
of the robes on the city pavement the ^
hiss of the adders that followed in the ,
wake. You have come out from your lr
home, and you have looked up at the great
house, and covet a life under those {
arches, when, perhaps, at that very mo- ;
ment, within that house, there may have
been the wringing of hands, the start of 1
horror, and the very agony of helL 5

I have had wide and-eontinuous observation,
and I tell, the young women that
they who build on mere social position !
their soul's immortal happiness are 1
building on the sand.
"Young women, have you anything to ,
do in the way of making your father's ?
home happy? Now is the time to attend j
to it, or leave it forever undone. Time g
is flying very quickly away. I suppose j
you notice -wrinkles are gathering and r
accumulating on those kindly faces that ?
have so long loo*ked upon you; there is (
frost in the locks; the'foot is not ag firm ?
in its steps as it used to be, and they x
will soon be gone. The heaviest clod (
that falls on a parent's coflm lid is the n
memory of an ungrateful daughter. Oh, -?
make their last days bright and beauti- *
ful. Do not act as though they were in
the way. Ask their counsel, seek their

passed, and you go out to see the grave
where they sleep, you -will find growing
all over the mounds something lovelier ,
than cypress, something sweeter than *
the rose, something chaster than the lily t
?the bright and beautiful memories of I
filial kindness performed ere the dying 1
hand dropped on you a benediction and *
you closed the lids over the weary eyes *
of the worn-out pilgrim. ^
"I go further, and advise you not to 1
depend for enjoyment upon mere per- J
sonal attractions. It would be sheer \
hypocrisy, because we may not have it ^
ourselves, to despise. or affect to despise, -
beauty in others. When God gives it,
He gives it as a blessing and a means of
usefulness. The sloven has only one
mission, and that is to excite our loathing
and disgust. But alas for those who
depend upon personal charms for their
happiness! Beauty is such a subtle 6
thing; it does not seem to depend upon
facial proportions, or upon the sparkle
of the eye, or upon the flush of the
cheek. You sometimes find it among
irregular features. It is the soul shining
through the face that makes one
beautiful. But alas! for those who depend
upon mere personal charms. They t
will come to disappointment and to a t
great fret. There are so many different ]
opinions about what are personal charms c
and then sickness and trouble and age c
do make such ravages. The poorest god f
that a woman ever worships is her own <
face. The saddest sight in all the world
is a woman who has built everything on i
good looks .when the charms begin to i
vanish. Oh, how they try to cover the 1
wrinkles and hide the ravages of time! (
When Time, with ironshod feet, steps on (
a face the hoof marks remain, and you
cannot hide them. It is silly to try to
hide them. I think the most repulsive
fool in the world is an old fool!
"Again, 1 advise you not to depend
for happiness upon the flatteries of men.
It is a poor compliment to your sex that
so many men feel obliged in your presence
to offer unmeaning compliments.
Men capable of elegant and eleborate
conversation elsewhere, sometimes feel
called upon at the door of the drawing
room to drop their common sense and to

things about your dress, and about your (
appearance, that you know and they [
blow are fake. Tliey say you are an 1
angel. You know you are not. Determined
to tell the truth in office, and |
store, and shop, they consider it honor- j
able to lie to a woman. The same thing
that they told you on this side of the \
drawing room three minutes ago they
said to some one on the other side of the !
drawing room. Oh, let no one trample
on your self-respect. The meanest thing !
on which a woman can build her happi- (
ness is the flatteries oi men. j
"Again, I charge you not to depend
for happiness upon the discipleship of
worldhness. I have seen men as vain of
their old-fashioned and their eccentric i
hat as your business fop is proud of" his !
dangling fooleries. I am glad the world ]
)
is improving. Look at the fashion
plates of. the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries and you will find that the
world is not so extravagant and extraordinary
now as it was then, and all the
marvelous things that the granddaughter
will do will never equal thst done by the
grandmother. Go still fartner back, to
the Bible times, and. you. will find that
in those times fashion wielded a more
terrible sceptre.

gle moment. The gayest wardrobe will
utter no voice of condolence iu the day
of tro able and darkness. That woman
is grandly dressed, and only she, who is
wrapped in the robe of a Saviour's
righteousness. The home may be very
humble, the hat may be very plain, the
frock may be very coarse; but the halo
of Heaven settles in the room when she
W(?rs it, and the faintest touch of the
resurrection angel will change that garment
into raiment exceediDg white, so
as no fuller on earth could whiten it.
"I come to you, young women, to-day
to say that this world cannot make you
happy. I know it is a bright world,
with glorious sunshine, and golden
rivers, and fire-worked sunset, and bird
orchestra, and the darkest cave has its
crystals, and the wrathieit wave its foam
wreath, and the coldest midnight its
framing aurora; but God will put out all
these lights with the blast of His own
nostrils, and the glories ox this world
will perish in the final conflagration.
Zou will never be happy until you get.
your sins forgiven and allow Christ
Jesus to take full possession of your

"Washington, February 23.?The acion
of the National Democratic Commitee
to-day means that the policy of the
Democratic party in the coming election
lampaign will be aggressive rather than
iefensive, and that tax reduction will be
ought for on the lines plainly marked
)ut in the President's recent message.
Late last night it was determined to
nake an effort to obtain a reccnsideraion
of the action of the national comnittee
yesterday in making July 3 the
late of the Convention, it was the genjral
judgment that the time was more
mportant than the place, and this
proved the key of the situation. Considerable
missionary work was accomplished
in the small hours of the mo n
ng, and when tee committee met to-day
.t was pretty sure that St. Louis would
oe the chosen city and the Democratic
Convention would meet before June 19,
;he day on which the Republican Conrention
will assembfe at Chicago.
This solution of the difficulty was re is
lered easier by the fact that, the objoc-j
ions to San I'rancisco on the score of
distance grew stronger as they were porilered.
Senator Gorman's appeal to the
supporters of San Francisco to join hire
in voting for a more accessible place and
;he subsequent withdrawal of Chicago,
jave St. Louis an easy victory. Indeed,
when Mr. W. L. Scoti and those who
aad voted with him for Chicago went
3ver to St. Louis, the result was certain.
me motion to reconquer was cameu oy
i lound majority, though Maryland,
Seorgia, Virginia, California, Florida
ind Coloiado continued to oppose any
ihange of date. By a rather larger majority
June 5 was then selected as the cay
[or the Democratic gathering.
NO OPPOSITION TO CLEVELAND.
The current report that the vote on
the date yesterday had been regarded as
3. defeat of the Administration, was alluded
to daring the session of the com
raittee, but on every side tnere was tne
earnest declaration that no such meaning
could properly be sriven to the committee's
action. Mr. Gorman was especially
emphatic in announcing himself
to be "an Administration mas," and
every committeeman who had voted for
a July meeting spoke in the same strain.
THE TARIFF QUESTION.
It is safe to conclude that every member
of the national committee is for
Cleveland, first and last, but several
members representing States that are not
Democratic, but which must be carried
to ensure success in November, think
that the President went too far, and was

sage. Tliey preferred, therefore, to
await some tarill'iegislation by the House
of Representatives, with the idea, apparently,
that this action would not cut as
deep as the President's recomnenda
tions. The national platform could then
be brought to its level.
Those who," on the other hanc? accept
the President's message, as the fighting
proved, believe that the National Convention
can and will bring the Demo-crats
in Congress to a n^ore liberal standard
of tax reduction thau can be expected
if the p 'rty remain deaf and dumb
until thj? time for Congressional work
shall have passed.
