"What do you consider the best plan of attacking the tariff in Congress ?" "My ide a has been that a general bill would be the best method, but I tam willing to dlefer to those who are on the ground a nd w ho have the battle in Con g ress to light. I hope the Springer f'ree wool bill will pass, and am also in favor of any other measure which will lighten the burden of taxation now resting upon the people. In fiact, I favor any mecasuire in the direction or genuine tariff reform." "What are the prosp)ects of t,he Dem ocratic party's ultimate success ?"

C., March 14.-At 10 clock this morning the entire roof of he main building of the Citadel Acad my was discovered in Ilames. The ca lets. about. 140 in number, were in the ection room. The alarm sounded and s the news spread through the cit y in ialf an hour 10,(XX) spectators were as embled on the square watching the onllagration. The origin of the fire is io known. It started under the roof, nd by the timne the alari was sound d the top of the entire quadrangle was n flames. The tire department, man ged to cookine the llames to the tl:jrd md second floors. The entire roof on the mai building, ogether with the ul.er floor, is wreck d; the sectind tier of bed rooms is bad y daniaged. Tie first gallery dormi ory and I lie ground gallery are con >aratively uninjured. The last wing, ii which are the mess hall, second room nd chapel, and the new West wing, in vhich are olicers' quarters, are un ouched. The only accident occurred to Cadet Aivingston, of Columbia, who was stf ocated by smoke whilelti ying to get. his it out or his room. le was dragged ut by his comrades, however, and is ot seriously hurt. The cadets saved iost of their personal effocts, and man god to save Superintendent Coward's flects. Col. Coward was the only of cer living in the main building. The [brary and all the instruments of the nstitution were saved, as were most of he quartermaster's stores. After the reman obtained control of the lire the adets were furloughed for an hour or wo. Dinner was served in the mess hall, ,nd LO-night retreat wis sounded in lie Roper hospital, a large and commo ious building, which was rebuilt after he earthquake and has never been. oc upied since. Some of the cadets are 'so quartered at the Porter Academy. There will be no interruption to the tudies. It is expected that in the ourse of a week or so the corps will be ble to get back into the Citadel build ag in temporary domitories. The re airing will, however, take several ionths. The insurance amounts to 152,000, of which $32,000 is on the main ullding, which was dainaged. On earning of the fire, almost every house ni the city was placed at the disposal if the cadets, but the officers decided o keep the corps together as above in licatcd. The lire was extinguished by dark, utisevera! engines are still playing on he ruins. The damage is a good deal nore severe as to personal property and ixtures than was first supposed. A ,reat many of the cadets lost their en ire kits, saving only the fatigue uni orms they were wearing at the time. At 6:30 to-night the assembly was )eat and the corps of cadets marched lown to their new quarters in the loper hospital, where they will remain intil t he Citadel can be occupied again. It is thought that the $32,000 insur mnee on the main building will restore t. If it does not the city of Charleston vill make up the dc-iciency, even if it is to be raised by private subscrip ion. The first orders read to the cadets to. iight were that there woild be no urth(r interrupt*on in their studies. A Melotramattc Tragody. SANTE FE, N.

[laughter and applause. I Senator1Hill thein proceeded to discus the subject of Democracy. lie reviewe' the history of the Democratic party. ant paid Ilowing tributes to the memory o the leaders of the party. All the (greal pritwiiples relating to civil liberty ant equal rights, he said, were those thal were put forth by those who controlle6 the (destinies of the land at the time ol the war of 184(. 1 have no patlenc( with that main who now says that wt are now indebted to the Republ'can par ty for all that gave lustre to the history of this country. [ Applause.] I can, and you will permit, ie to, repeat thal little story that I once heard, which per haps illustrates the point that I am try ing to make: There was a general liv ing In Boston who had lost a limb in the service of his country in the war of 1812, le was som,what vai-, it is true, and he supposed that, everybody knew th( occasion of his lameness. lie was pret ty well known around Boston, but ther( cane along one day a youinig dude of a fellow, perhaps a Republican [laughter), who thought lie would have some fun al the expense of the old hero who was hobbling along, and lie stepped up tc him, with a conceited sort of air, anl said: "rieneral, what makes you lame; what occasioned your lanieness; was il a swelling upon your leg?'" And th( six-loot hero of 1, 12 turned round t( him, with am air of dis siibt and dhsdain and lie said to him: "Young man. vot talk like a damned tool. Why don't yot read the history of your country' [Lau--hier and applauc.1 I tell ou; Itepublican young friends to rend th history of their country before they cri. icise Democratic leaders and Democra. ie principles. [ A pplause. J The Senator then spoke at soni leng,th on the doings of' home rule foi States andl for municipalities, an( aroused his listeners to enthusiasm ha repeating his well known views. Lei the m1unicipalities control municipal at. fairs; let the Government simply carr) out the specified powers under the con slittition, and then we will have a mode Governmnciil, i (overnment founded or the will of the people, and a (overn nent whithb tat, he administered witt safety. Ta king up the subject of' taxation, Senator IIill said: The Dea iocratic par. ty believes now, as it has always be lieved, that the best method to raist muoney suillicien t to supplort the Govern. menit is by taxatioii upon11 imipo)rts. 'Thu man who says that the Democratic par ty wants to tear tdown the custom hiouses in this land mnisstatcs our position, an lie kniows it. The maon who says thal the I)emotcratic party purpioses a nieth, od of direct taxation for the purpose ti suppoert!ing the Governiient is mlsquot ing the D emc,mrati2 creedt, and is not true D emiocrat. We believe that th< power of taxation must be usetd for thn p)ublic and niot p)rivate piurlioses. Never theless it has been estabilishied by a lone custom that the best way to meet thi expenses5 of'thie Government is by a tar. ill' on imi.orts. No one proposes tc chiaui e that. But, because of that mios1 excellent way of' iaising the necessar1 nmoinc(ies to suupport - the G overnmeiit we (10 not believe that a single dollat more should be raisedl than is necessar, to meet actual needs of the G;overnment, [Applause.] 1 had the honor of' saying, the niszht aifter the election of 1888, "Althouigh"we are defeated it is our dutty to nail thc flag of' tarifl' reform to the mi ast, and there let it remain until we are victori ous." (Greatapplause. J I repeat that sentiment now; aind I would not lowei an atom the high st,andard the party then took. After paying his r'esp)ects to ex. Speaker lteed and1( the force bill, Henator 11i1l continuedh: The D)emocratic party inakes no war upon the indlustr'ies of' the land, b)ut it insIsts uploni fair play. It insists upon this p)osit,ioni, namely: That the power of' taxation shall be tusedi foi piublic: and i.ot private purposes.

T1hie Democratic party M'lieves ini the encouragement and, so :ar' as posib~lle, in the pro'(tectioni or labor. Capital is strong; labor is w:k. Capi Ital can, to a ereat extent, take car'e ol itself; and labor deservets the rt cogii tion andl encouragemen t of the Amentri cani people. [ Applause.] We dho not behieve in subsidies anid bounties. WVe are opposied to thiem; anil, in my judgment, these provisions ought to be taken f'rom ev'ery bill which hias been passeCd by a R1epuiblican Conigress, and1( when we obtain the fill pCssessIin of' this Government, it should b)e the first duty of the Democratic par'ty to sweei from the statute boo0kB (very pris'1ion which provitdes for subsides or bountie' to p)rivat,c purposes. This Gjoverunient shiould lhe made emphiaticaly a G overn ment, by the p)eople and for the people, andi not for pirivate purposes. [Ap phause. I know there are those who seek to stir up strife and party division. I know there are men who seek alliance with third parties. But I beg to ask these men, if they, in the maim, agree with Democratic principles, what do they gain by thus forming themselves into third parties. creativ_- division in our or-ani zation? Divisions means defeat; unity means the success of these principles. My friends, I look at what is at stake. III this Comin, election, we cain collie very near, if we meet with reasonable success, to the control of the Senate of the country. We can keep the Deno cratic Iiounc of Representatives with us. You can g_ive us a Democratic executive, and it, after four years of' power. you have any complaints of the Democratic party because it !as not accomplished all that you thought it should accom plish, then you have a perfect right to turn against it, and turn it out of power; but n1ot until then. I Applause.| 1 know a great deal is said by our op pononts about an American poliev. It is a plausible catechimii. Tlie Ameri can policy vhiih we want, to maintain in this country is that which -.ives American tr(etimn their rih . We want an administration that respects our rights abroad and maintains them at hoie. Let Us stand by the old princi ples of government, and not run after new and untried things. In the Ian guage of another, a d0inguished pre decessor of mine in the government of' my own State "W e must build up a niew prosperity upon the old foundations of American self-governiment; carry back our political systemis towards the ideas of their authors; make govern mental institutions simple, frugal-med dling little with the private concerns of individuals, aiming at fraternity aniong ourselves and at peace abroad, and trust ing to the people to work out their own prosperity and happiness.'' This is not only true Democracy, but it is common sense, and upon these principles we can safelv stand. Senator Iill then reviewed political aflairs in the States oi Connecticut and New York. In the former, lie said, the Republicans have kept control by a sys tem of' representation unworthy of a place in a free country. The State is just as much in ineed of home rule as is Ireland today. The same was the case in New York until the recent Deimo cratic victory. I gave it to you for what it is worth. You have seen the last of tepublican Legislatures in the Enipire State. [ Enthusiastic applause.] A word as to the future. The skies tire bright, in my opinion for Democratic success. It is not essential who the candidate of the Democratic party may be. The great point is to achieve a vie tory for Democratic piiciples'in Novei ber next. I pledge you the State of NewN York's electoral vote For the Demo uratic candidate. [Great applause.1 I necd not say to you how important that vitory will be in the future of this country. As the country goes this fall, iln my judgment, so will its control re maim for several years. If we are true to our party, we shall be true to our country. I have no patience with that set of, men who are constantly speaking in favor of' non-partisaniship. I believe in a bold. aigressive and courageous partisanship. I would exert every in fluence of1'th p-iry organization to build uip and not bt little my party.

Tho (rt a'; Domocratic Leader Waives y Poraonal (onaiderations and Consents to Itecome a Candidate Before the Con ventiou-1in Letter in FulL Mi iwA~Ui;, Wis., March 14. (eneral Edward S. Bragg, author of the famous phrase, " We love him for the enemies he has made," has been urging 'x-President Cleveland to make public an avowal of his position in connection with the approaching Democratic Presidential convention. Under date of March 5th he wrote a letter to Cleveland f rom Pond Du Lac containing the fol lowing paragraph: "Tle danger to the public interests which the failure of the Democratic iarty would involve seems to me now to reqifire the open avowal of your will lguess to submit to any service to whii: your party may assign you. Many entertaiti tear that vou may decline turlher public duty, which none but you cnn effectually remove, and your voice Nwill be cverywhere hear( with benefit -and effect. I belicve your usefulness to the nation niay be greater now than i ever in the past, to carry to victory the cause of tarilt reform, and to restore the r blessings of' uood government to our people; and as your fellow-Democrat and fellow-citizen 1 ask you to say to your party and people that your name will be presented to the National Demo cratic Convention as a candidate for its nomination to the Presidency, and that , you will accept that nomination it the e convention shall make it, and again undertake the duties of President if the e party shall, as I believe they will, ;, choose you for that. ollice.1 t In reply the ex-President wrote as r folows: LAEW~ 0wooi, N. .J., March 9, 1892. Sliot. Idward 1L. Bragg. s DEAl Si It: Your letter of the 5th inst. is received. I have thought until now that I might continue silent on the subjects which, under the high sanction o your position as my fellow Democrat i and iellow citizen, and in your relation r. as a true and trusted friend, you present r. to me. i, ini answering your questions, e L might ontly consider my personal 5. desires and my individual ease and com d Irt, my response would be promptly made, and witiout the least reservation or ditliculty. Iut if you are right in supi.osing that the subject is related to the duty I owe to the country and to my lart.y a icondition exists which makes suih private and personal considerations t vnirely i .levant. I cannot, however, refrain from declaring to you that my l experience in the great otlice of Presi d dent of the U tnted States has so im e pressed ile with the solemnity of the Ie trust, and its awful responsibilities that I cannot bring myself to regard candi dacy for the place as something to be IS WO by personal strife and active self assertion. I have also an idea that the p)residency is prominently the people's "i olice, and I have been sincere in my coitant advccacy of effective participa tion ill politicid allairs on the part of all our citizens. Consequently I believe the people sioild be heard in the choice ot their party candidates and that the i theniselves should make nominatious as . dire:-lias is consistent, with open fair h. and ill p)art,y organization and meLhods. s I speak of these things solely for the - u oeofavsn you that my concep~ non101 of the nature of' the presidential of t' ien andl my conviction that the voters oif our party should1( be free in the selec tion 01their cail(lidlateslpreclude the pos e, sibility of' my leading and pushing a self Sseekin canvass for the presidential Il nomination even i I had a desire to be e again a canidate. Relieving that comn s Ilete supremacy of Democratic princi y' lcs means mecreased national prosperity I and Increased happiness of' our people, II am earnestly anxious for the success ,of the party . I am confident success is st,ill within oum reach, but I believe this Is a time ter Democratic thoughtfulness -and dhellberation, not only as to candi 'dates but coinceriiing p)arty action upon <lues5tions5 oi imimense interest, to the patriotlc andl intelligent voters of the land who watch for assurance of' safety c as the priec of their confidence andl sup i or t.
