K " 1. _ ,~ A -~o~ eet,tho Ienad for Tarif -a or ltepublicana..pres WIa*d'sl Messaeg Makes Action -terto the New York Uetald.) -iO N, Deoember ll.,-There is belif aongeadug emo Mr Crlile oulddo eltfor }'s harmonioos actios on the re y"' 4 n of the surplus if he should make - dalu chairman of the Ways and SK l mounittee. The suggestion has Senmae to Mr. Carlisle by a promi . t Western Democrat, whose belief is ehis eleotion would have the hap " iei" ep in leading the two wings of ..; 'he to "sop together." The sug ' ation does not please the Republicans They have a lively hope that the oorats will disagree in this Copgress, as they did, through the folly of Mr. Morrison in the last. Those Democrats who think it would be good bly for Mr. Carlisle to ask Mr. Randau to be obirman of the Ways and Means, do not, however, much ex pet this to be done, because they ac knowledge that it would be too unbear able to Colonel Watterson, who is just now engaged in "shooting the deserters," and who, it is feared, would shoot the whole Democratic party if so sensible a thing should be dono as to put Mr. Randall at the head of the Ways and Means. THE PROiuLEM OF THUE SURPLUs. All prophecies as to what kind of bill to abolish the surplus revenues will in the end pass Congress and go to the President are mere folly. The Demo crats have but a narrow majority in the House and are in a minority in the Senato. When the Ways and Means Committee brings into the Houso a bill to reduce taxes, that will be debated very fully, and is then likely to be largely changed before it passes the House. It will then go into the hands of the Finance com mittee in the Senate, of which the ma jority are Messrs. Morrili, Sherman, Jones, of Nevada, Allison, Aldrich and H.iscoek, all strong protectionists. Tuoy will change the bill to suit their views, and bring it into the Republican Senate thus amended, where again it will be fully debated, and when it passes there it will return to the House to be again considered. Leading men of both sides believe that the tobacco tax will be repealed; in fact, that is generally taken for granted. The Democratic plan is, thercupon, to add largely to the free list, by way of reduc ing taxation and striking off surplus revenue, because to merely lower duties on imported articles would probably in - crease and not decrease the revon ue. I1EPUInLICANs IN A DILEMMA. The Republicans, until within a few days, were determined on one of the two courses, either to strike off the tobacco , tax and the sugar duty. ;'hich would re duce the surplus by about eighty mil lions, or to repeal the whole internal revenue taxes. Since they have realized the dilemma in wbich the President's message puts them, some of them are halting to consider the situation. They are so fully committed to a revision of the tariff by their speeches and plat forms that, with the message staring them in the face, they begin to think it ma.y be dangerous for them to absolute l- refuse and resist all tariir amend i nents. WThe message has in fact put the Rie Spublicans in a bad hole. The problem the President presented ini it ho pro * sented to both parties, because the Re publicans rule in one House, the Demo crats in the other, and, to get the suir plus reduced, both parties must act. The strong presentation of the matter -by the President has awakened the country to the fact that the surplus revenues must be largely reduced to prevent general industrial and financial ruin. How this shall be done, Mr. Cleveland says in his message, depends entirely on Congress-that is to say, on the Democrats in the House and on the Republicans in the Senate; and while he has given them his recommendations in the matter, as is his constitutional duty, he has in plain words p)ut the whole re sponsibility of action to avert a great danger on Congress, where it belongs. rHE DUTY OF 'TmE 110Un. It is perfectly understood by the Re publicans that the Prceident will, and ,.~indeed must, sign any bill sent him which actually reduces revenue. The longer they consider the President's message, the more awkward the Repub licans see is the situation in which it places them, and the more diflicult they see their course to be. What conclu sion they wi,1 eventually reach they do not themselves know. They camne here coAvinced that to repeal the tobacco tax land the sugar duty was their cheap and ; easy way out; but they are not nearly as sure about it today. Repubicaun mem bers and Senators from some Western Republican States have been already made to feel the prcssure of public sen timent favorable to tarill reform. T1ho remarkable course of the .Chicago TJ.ri buno in promptly anud positively sup porting Mr. Cleveland's maesage, and in as plainly opposing Mr. .Bline's plans, is seen to be not merely the expression of Mr. Medill's own long held faith in tariff reform, but to denote also that ochind the powerful Chicago Tribune \ Vands a strong and growing Republican bhce opinon and demand for tariff re f oem. Mr. Cleveland's message has been y shell in the Republican camp If the D)eigocrats have wise leadershif, which will ;harmonize instead of dlisintegrating the aLrty, they can take and keep the lead~ and pass a judicious and beneficent measure to strike off the surplus reve nues. The President's message has shown the way, and it has put new heart and vigor in the party in the same de gree that it is embarrassing the Republi cans. A Grentl-frnnddauigter or Unihotm, Goesu Mad.

The General Executive Board of the Knights of Labor yesterday sent out from the Broad street headquarters the last secret circular of the order prepared by General Master Workman Powdrly. It is in reference to the establishment of a governmental system of telegraphy and directs every local assembly of the great orgamization to issue red-letter calls, ap point committet s and wait upon every Congressman in the separate districts and persuade him to vote for the meas uro. The steret circular is one of the most plain over issued by Mr. Powderly, and makes the most bitter attack upon Jay Gould and monopolists in general that has ever been made by the order. It first rubs the members of the order for not attending to their duties and work ing iu tno interest of governmental tele graph and then tells of the combined el'orts of the managers of telegraph lines to su:-press all good and spread all dis c urtging uews relating to the Knights of Labor. S.OnINo JAY UOUL1). lir owdorly tells of the power of the Westei n Union and how it stands with out a rival; how the Western Union has effectually and easily killed off all com petitors, and cites, as an instance, the mert, imgt of the Baltimore and Ohio. "Jay Gould rules absolutely the desti nies of the American people," says Mr. Powderly, "and ho is the practical own er of that part of the United States which ho wishes to take." In speaking of the "capitalistic press" he says the order cannot ask the press of this country to bo ind'ependent as long as it allows monopoly to control both press and people. Tho circular says: "Tlte news comes to them ready made on wires over which the people, the editors of labor papers and the capital istic press have no control. We ask of editors of papers to speak out against monopoly. if they comply with our request they are'boycotted, first by the man (?) who own the wires, whan the telegraphic news is shut of from their columns; second, by the very people who have asked of them to wage war on monopoly and because 'they do not pub lish the news.'" The circular tells how the government has reduced postal charges to a mini mum, and how when mistakes are made in transmission or delivery the govern ment is always anxious to rectify such crier. As a comparison it says com plaint against the Western Union Telo graph Company is entirely useless; that 1i, unless the complainant has ten or twenty millions of dollars to back him Up. "Is ITiME TO \ oti." The circular says that Jay Gould has c> 2 just as far as he ought to go in his career of rapacity. The system he rep resents can be displaced if the people lwake from their slumbers. The ate ounts of the next Presidential election tay be flashed over wires owned and con rolled by the people, if they will act at once. In reference to asking each and every Senator or Congressman to vote For governmental telegraphy Mr..Pow lerly closes the circular with "When you have secured all the names you can get send the petitions to the Lheneral Secretary, but do not mail them until the 2d day of January, 1888. On that day from ever-y town and hamlet in the United States wvhere we have anm 'issembly 1 want to have a petition.

The paper sent you will nm co)utam namecs enough; add more uotil you secure every signaturo inm your Probabl Tarif lieducie on. It is not diflicult to p)redict what the bill reduacing tariff taxes will be. The condition of business and the necessity of iramning a measure that will p)ass the Senate dennno the limitations which will de terminet the b)oundaries of the tax re ducetion bill. Weo predict that it will be in substanco as follows: l'irst-Thme free list will include all the orcs---iron, lead, zinc, copper- and also salt, coal, coal, lumber, wool, jute, hemp, marble, stone and other raw materials used in manufactures in this country. T1he~free list will effect a reduction of about $17,000,000. .Second-The tax on sugar will be cut mi two in the mniddle. This will throw elf $27,000,000, unless an increase con sumption shall result from the reduced taxation. It may, however, be assumed thct the receipts from sugar will be $20, 000,000 less than at present. Third-The placing of tropical fruits upon thme free list and the lopping off of taxes above (00 per cent, will make a further reduction of, say, $33,000,000. Fourth- -There will be scured by the changes above suggested a decrense of i$40,00)0,000 in the tariff taxes. Suppos oug that the scheme is to effect a saving of $50,000,000, which is ats great a re luction as Congress is likely to make, the general reduction which the pro tected manufactures will be required to rnake will not be more than ten millions, I.hlis can be accomplished by revising 'he taxes upon manufactures so that the aninnum duty shalt be 40 per cent. v.d valtorem and( the meximum dutty 60 Der centt. A minimum duty of -40 per cent, is 'high protection." We submit it to the ndgmient of thme people whether it is not mnough. We now venture to predict that the ,nriff above sketched will be founad to esemible the bill upon which Democrats ake their stand as cltscly as the Sarato Ca platform resembled the P resident's nossage.--New York Star. 1oo,l olku Foun:d Guilty and benten-e,t to, Ieathg.

In some cases friendly natives, or even comrades, were taken by the excited imagination of a sentry for enemies; in others, unoffending cattle, even a bush or a shrub, became the innocent cause of a fusilade sufficient to have dealt widespread destruction to a host of Zuius. An odd incident illustrative of the slightness of the cause-or even, perhaps, of the absence of any cause at all-that gives rise to a panic, occurred on the night of Tel-el-Kebir, amid a small corner of the force that was bivouacking on the battlefield. 'The narrator had crawled into a marquee in which, with other commissariat stores, were the rum casks from which the troops had received their liquor ration after the fatigues and excitement of the (lay's fight and previous night march. Besides one or two commissariat issuers in charge of the stores, several "odds and ends" of other corps had found their way into the marquee, preferring to rest under its shelter amid the casks and biscuit boxes than under the open sky with the sand for a bed. Suddenly, in the middle of the night when all were sleeping, a noise and commotion began in a bivouac outside. Before the inhabitants of the tent were sufficiently awake to understand its cause the cur tains were thrust aside by a red-coated soldier, who shouted to us to get up: "The Arabs are in the camp-they are upon us!" Then he disappeared as rapidly as he had come. Every one sprang to his arms, and probably ex perienced that especially uncomfortable sensation that is caused by a vague feeling of an unseen though imminent danger against which one is ignorant how to guard. Outside every one around was aroused and up, eagerly striving to discover from what quarter attack was to be expected. Nothing, however, more unpleasant occurred than the advent of a staff officer asking the cause of the confusion. Probably the truth never (lid reach headquarters. Afterward, howiever, a report gained ground-no other or better reason was ever forthcoming-that the alarm arose from the screams of a sleeping soldier, who, overwrought perhaps by the hor rors of the day, had been fighting his battle over again in his dreams! Chambers's Journal. The Limitations or Science. It may not be amiss for me to supple ment or qualify the foregoing pages wi',h a page or two which have a differ ent bearing. In the first place, let me say that 1 have ait so much spoken for myself therein as 1 have spoken for that attitude of mind which makes science or exact knowledge possible-a state of mind which, in our time, 1 am aware, is carrying things with a high hand. I know fulI well that science does not make up the sum-total of life; that there are many things in this world that count for more than exact knowledge. A noble sentinicut, an heroic impulse, courage, and self-sacrifice-how all your exact demonstrations pale before these things! But I recognize the fact that wit hin its own sphere science is supreme, and its sphere is commensurate with human reason; and that, when an ap peal is made to it, we must abide by the result. Theology assumes to be 'a science, the science of God, and as such the evidence, the proof upon which it relies, must stand the test of reason, or be capable of verification. Religion, as a sentiment, as an aspiration after the highest good, is one thing; but, formu lated into a system of theology and as suiming to rest upon exact d emonstra tion, is quite anott ' As such it is ex posed to the terrible question, Is it true P In other words, it comes within the range of science, and must stand its fire. When miracles are brought for ward as an evidence of the truth of Christianity, the natural philosopher is bound to asl;, Do miracles take place? If our life were alone made up of reason or of exact knowledge, science would be all in all to us. So far as it is made up of these things, science must be our guide. But probably four fifths of.life is quite outside of the sphere of science; four fifths of life is sentiment. The great ages of the world have bcen ages of sentiment; the great literatures are the embodimenta of sentiment. Patriotism is a sentiment; love, benevol ence, admiration, worship, are all senti ments. -Johrn Burroughs, in Popular Science Monthly.

"The study of human nature," said Principal Keeper Patterson, of the state penitentiary at Trenton, N. J., to a reporter in the lobby of the National hotel the other night, "iuside prison wa ls is more interesting than pleasant. The class of human beings one comes in contact with is usually so depraved and hardened that it oftentimes sur prises even those accustomed to the life. We believe our system to be us good as any in existene, and yet we are not as severe in some ways as the people of the Eastern penitentiary." "Are there not a number of crimi nals sent you who instead should go to asylupsP Do you not have many cranky characters to contend with?" "Well, we (1o in a certain sense. Criminals are as a rule, one-sided characters; their moral character is, so to speak, lop-sided. But it is not the men who go into the prisons that are mentally unbalanced; it is those who come out. The fact is, a man who serves a tive or even a three years' sen tence out, is apt to leave the peniton tiary unsound in mind, if not in both body and mind. Imagine, for instance, the life they lead, day in and day out. To the mess-room in the morning, where they can not speak a word to anyone; to the workshop for the day, where talking is strictly forbidden; to the mess-room again for supper, where the same order is enforced; and then to solitary confinement in their cells. where there is no one to talk to. Think of it. Such a life for years! Is It not enough to drive a man insane? Why, man alive, you can not realize it; but the percentage is simply frightful of those who go to jail strong in both mind and body and who come out wrecks in one or both."- Wasington I'osL Mss Youa blood of Columbus.
