A SINGLE ISSUE. Congress Must Meet the Demnnd for Tariff Reform-Dilemma of Rlepublicans-Pres ident Cleveland's Message Makes Action Imperative. (Letter to the New York Herald.) WASsisTO, December 11.-There is a growing belief among le--ding Demo crats-that Mr. Carlisle would do well for the party's harmonious action on the re duction of the surplus if he should make Mr. Randall chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. The suggestion has been made to Mr. Carlisle by a promi nent Western Democrat, whose belief is that this selection would have the hap piest effect in leading the two wings of the party to "flop together." The sug gestibn does not please the Republicans at all. They have a lively hope that the Democrats will disagreein this Congress, as they did, through the folly of Mr. Morrison, in the last. Those Democrats who think it would be good policy for Mr. Carlisle to ask Mr. Randall to be chairman of the Wajs and Means, do not, however, much ex pect this to be done, because they ac knowledge that it would be too unbear able to Colonel Watterson, who is just now engagedin "shooting the deserters," and who, it is feared, would shoot the whole Democratic party if so sensible a thing should be done as to put Mr. Randall at the head of the Ways and Means. THE POBLEM OF rE ESURPLUS. 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 erats have but a narrow majority in. the Houseand are in aminority in the Senate. When the Ways ard Mc.ans Committee brings into the Houe a bil to reduce taxes, that will be debated very fully, and is then likely to be largely changed before it passes the Houm. It will then go into the hands of the Finance com mittee in the Senate, of .hich the ma jority are Messrs. Morrill, Sherman, Jones, of Nevada, Allison, Aldrich and Hiasock, all strong protectionists. Taey wilage the bill to suit their views, and bring it into the Republican Senate thus amended, where agai 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there it will return to the House to be again considered Leading men of both sides believe that the tobacco tax will be repealed; in fact, that is generally taken for granted.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, thereupon, 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 Messe and not decrease the revenue. ETUBcaNCS IN A DrEMMA. 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, which would re -duos the surplus by about eighty mil lions, or to repeal the whole internal revenue taxes. Since they have realized the dilemma in which the President's msnnage puts them, some of them are elting 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 may be dangerous for them to absolute ly refuse and resist all tariff amend mnente Themessage has in fact put the Re in a bad hole. The problem President presented in it he pre mnted to both parties, because the Re npihans rule in one House, the Demo cma in the other, and, to get the sur phias rednced, both parties must act. >r'he stogpresentation of the matter by the 'Pesden? has awakened the country to the fact that the surplus revenues must be largely reduced to prevent general iunusi and financial Srain. How this shall be done, Mr. Cleveland says in his message, depends eniiely on Congress-that is to say, on hDemocratsin the House and on the Repnhlicansin the Senate; and whilehe baagven them his recommendations in th~ matter, as is his constitutional duty, he bas in plain words put the whole re >aponsihility of action to avert a great danger on Congress, where it belongs. TEE DUTY OF THE HOUR. It is perfectly understood by the Re 'ilcn that the President will, and -"deed must, sign any bill sent him hihactually reduces revenue. The longer they consider the President's mesgthe more awkward the Repub >-licans see is the situation in which it places them, and the more diffcult they see their course to be. What conclu sian they 'widl eventually reach they do not themselves know. They came here coonvined that to repeal the tobacco tax and the sugar duty was their cheap and easy way out; but they are not nearly as sure about it today. Republican mem bers and Senators from some Western Repnhlican States have been already mad&,to feel the pressure of public sen tient favorable to tarifi reform. The -remarkable course of the Chicago Tri bone in promptly and positively sup porting Mr. Cleveland's message, and in -as plainly opposing Mr. Blaine's plane, is seen to be not merely the expression of Mr. Medill's own long held faith in tariff reform, but to denote also that behind the powerful Chicago Tribune stands a strong and growing Republican public opinion and demand for tariff re form.. Mr, Cleveland's message has been a shell in the Republican camp. If the Democrats have 'wise leadership, which will harmonize instead of disintegrating the party ,they can take and keep the eaadpass 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 Great-Granddaughter of Calhoun Goes Mlad. WASKINGTON, December 15.-During the performance of "Article 47" by Clara Morris, at the Grand Opera House tonight, the play was interrupted by a scene which recalled the famous shooting case in this city some six or seven years ago. Seated in the midst of the large audience wa M iss Annie Horton, great-granddaughter of John C. Calhoun, who is now an em ploye in the Post O~ice Departmrent. Several yer ago this young, womran went to the Treasury Department, where George Morgan, son of Senator Morga'n of Alabama, was at his desk, and callig the young man out in the street, jired at him repeatedly with a revolver. The shots, however, inflicted only a slight wound, and the young clerk refused to prosecute. At the end of the nrst act of "Article 47" tonight, where Miss Morris, as the Creole girl Cora, is shot by her lover, George Duhamel, Miss Horton became vio lently insane, and she had to be taken from the theatre by the police. ** * * A disease of so delicatecuna ture as stricture of the urethra should only be entrusted to those of ]ar;;e experience and skill.

World'sDispensary Medical Asso ciatin, 66 MaIn Stret, Buffalo, N. roWDERLY ON JAY OOtLD. A Very Severe Attsck by the Lead, r of Labor upon the Railroad Masi'ate. (From the Philadelphia Times.) The General Executive Board of the Knights of Labor yesterday sent cut from the Broad street headquarters the last secret circular of the order prepared by General Master Workman Powderly. it is in reference to the establishment of a governmental system of telegraphy and directs every local assembly of the great organization to issue red-letter calls, ap point committee s and wait upon every Congressman in the separate districts anti persuade him to vote for the meas are Tr-he scret circular is one of the most pain ever 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 .: the members of the order for not a-rding to their duties and work i a interest of governmental tele d then tells of the combined :2lrts of the managers of telegraph lines to_ supprcs all good and spread all dis c-ur.ging news relating to the Knights -a Id2or. SCORIING 3mY GOUD. .~x. Powderiy tells of the power of the Western Union and how it stands with out a rival; how the Western Union has effectual.y and easily killed off all com petitors, and cites, as an instance, the mere ing of the Baltimore and Ohio. "Jay Gould rules absolutely the desti nies of the American people," says ir. Powderly, "and he is the practical own er of that part of the United States which he wishes to take." In speaking of the "capitalistic press" he says the order cannot ask the press of thi country to he independent as long as it allows monopoly to control both press and people. The circular says: "The 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 off 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 error. As a comparison it says com plaint against the Western Union Tele graph Company is entirely useless; that i', unless the complainant has ten or twenty millions of dollars to back him up. "ir IS TIm TO wORK." The circular says that Jay Gould has go..e just as far as he ought to go in his career of rapacity. The system he rep resents can be displaced if the people awake from their slumbers. The ac counts of the next Presidential election may be flashed over wires owned and con "rolled by the people, if they will act at c.nce. in reference to asking each and every Senator or Congressman to vote for governmental telegraphy Mr. Pow derly closes the circular with: "When you have secured all the names you can get send the petitions to the General Secretary, but do not mail them until the 2d day of January, 1888. On that day from every town and hamlet in the United States where we have an assemtbly I want to have a petition. I shall have the names counted and shall take them to Washington to have them presented to Congress. Fill them out carefully. Have every man or woman sign his or own name. Get the best writer in the assembly to hill ont the heading to each petition, gi.ing the name of State, number of Congressional district and the name of your Congress man. Be sure to have these matters efully attended to. I am in earnest, and 1 want to take with me a petition so large that it will demonstrate beyond the shadew of a doubt that you are ir- earn est. It i-: time to work, and you must do f>' work. Throw aside your per so'nal C:elings, your animosities, your dilrencs and jealousies for the time and work for this measure as you never worhed before. The paper sent you will "'ot co".tain names enough; add more srtil yc~u secure every signature in your locality ", Probable Tariff Reduction. It is not difficult to predict what the bill reducing tariff taxes will be. The condition of business and the necessity of framing a measure that will pass the Senate define the limitations which will determine the boundaries of the tax re duction bill. We predict that it will be in substance as follows: First-The free list will include all the ores-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. The free list will effect a reduction of about $17,000,000. Second-The tax on sugar will be cut in two in the middle. This will throw cff $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 the free list and the lopping off of taxes above GO per ce'nt. will make a further reduction of, say, $33,000,000. Fourth-There will be secured by the changes above suggested 'a decrease of $40,000,000 in the tariff taxes. Suppos ing that the scheme is to effect a saving of $50,000,000, which is as great a re duction as Congress is likely to make, the general reduction which the pro tecteci manufactures will be required to make wvill not be more than ten millions. This can .be accomplished by revising the taxes upon manufactures so that the minimum duty shall be 40 per cent. ad valorem and the maximum duty 80 per cent. A minimum duty of 40 per cent, is "high protection." We submit it to the judgment of the people whether it is not enough. We now venture to predict that the tariff above sketched will be found to resemble the bill upon which Democrats take their stand as closely as the Sarato ga platform resembled the President's mnessage.-New York Star.

Circular free ii Soldiers' Panics. In South Africa, the disaster of' Is ndlhwana gave the soldiers' nerves a 1 severe shaking. and it often happened that false alarms at night led to the 1 rousing of whole camps, and sometimes i even to a reckless discharge of firearms. 1 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 Zulus. 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 cornniissariat stores, were the rum casks from which the troops had received their liquor ration after the fatigues and excitement of the day'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 unconfortable 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 did reach headquarters. Afterward, however, 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 Jornal. The Limitations of Science. It may not be amiss for me to supple ment or qualify the foregoing pages with a page or two which have a differ ent bearing. In the first place, let me say that I have n'ot so much spoken for myself therein as I have spoken for that attitude of mind which makes science or exact knowledge possible-a stpte of mind which, in our time, 1 am aware, is carrying things with a high hand. I know full 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 sentiment, an - heroic impulse, courage, and self-sacrifice-how all your exact demonstrations pale before these things! But I recognize the fact that within 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 theooyand as suming to rest upon exact deonstra tion, is quite anot' i As iuch it is ex psed to the terrible question, Is it true? Iother words, it comnes within the range of secience, 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 ask, Do miracles take place? If our life were alone made up of reason or of exact knowledge, science would be alin aUtous. 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 been ages of sentiment; the great literatures are the embodiments of sentiment. Patriotism is a sentiment; love, benevol ence, admiration, worship, are all senti ment.-JTohn Burroughs, in Popular Science Monthly. A Nice Calcnlation. She was a yung woman in Wash ington for teseason, and was very fond of narrating her conquests and seaking of her powers over men. He was a bachelor with a heart oi stone and a cheek of cast-iron. They were talking of love and matrimony and sognate subjects. "I've been engaged six weeks, Mr. X.," she said, with re freshing candor, in view of the fact that the announcement had appeared in the society news after the proposal. "Ah!" he said, with a rosebud smile wreathed around an interrogation point; "ow eharming." "D~elightful, Mr. X.," she continued, radiantly; "he was anx old friend of our faseily, and he was so persistent; how long do you think I ept the poor fellow waiting for his an swer?" and she giggled a real swell giggle. "Umn, urn," he cogitated, as if calculating an equation of tinme between a sun-dial and a Wa ter bury watch; "umn -well, I should say about a minute and a half, possibly two minutes." There was an abrupt termination to the con versation, and the brute was left alone in the alcove where they had been talk ing.--Washingtoni Critic. Pianos anld Organs.
