(Letter to tlie N'en ?*uvk Ucrtikl.)
WASHINOTON, Deoombor ll. There ie
ii growing belief among leading Demo !
erat? tbat Mr. Carlisle would do well for ;
tho party's barm OU io UH notion on tho re
duction of the surplus it' he should make
Mr. Randall chairman ot the Ways aud
Means Committee. The suggestion has
boon made to Mr. Carlisle by a promi
neut Western Democrat, whoso belief is
that this selection would have tho hap
piest effect in leading tho two w ings of
thc ptirty to "Hop together." The sug
gest! ni docs not please the Llopubliouui
at all. They have a lively hope that the ;
Denioorats will disagree in this Congress,
as they did, through the folly ot Mr. j
M on ison, in the lust.
Those Democrats who think it would
bo good po'icy for Mr. Carlisle to ask
Mr. Hammil to be chairman of tho Ways
and Means, do not, however, muoh ex
pect this to bc done, because they ac
knowledge that it would bo too unbear
able to Colonel Watterson, who is just
in>w engaged in "shooting the deserters,'
and who, it is feared, would shoot thi
whole Democratic party ii BO sensible it
thing should bo dino- as to put Mr.
Randall at the head ol the Ways und
Means,
THE PKOUJJBM or TUB SCM'J.l S.
AU prophecies as to what kind of bill
to abolish the Bttrplus revenues will iu
the end pass Congress a ed go to tho
President aie meru folly. The Demo
crats have hut a nal i"ow majority in the
I louse and are in a luiuoi itv lu thc Senat >.
When tho Ways and [cans Committee
brings into tho Ho tue u bdl to reduce
taxes, that will bo debated vory fully,
and is thon likely te . rgoly changed
before it passes the Hon lt will then
go into the hands of ti: Finance ooiu
mittoo in tho Sonate, of ?.? lioli the ma
jority are Messrs. Mci rill, Sherman,
.Iones, of Novada, Allison, Aldrich and
Hiscock, alt strong protection? ts. Tuoy
will chungo thc bill to suit their views,
and bring it into the Uopublicuu Senate
thus amended, where again it will bo J
fully debated, and when it passes there |
it will return to the ?louse to bo again
considered.
Lending men ol both sider; believe that
the tobacco tux will bo ropoaled; in fact,
that is generully takou for granted. The
Democratic plan irs thereupon, te? mid
largely to the free list, by way of reduc
ing taxation and striking off surplus
revenue, because to merely lower duties
ou imported articles would probably iu
croase ami not decrease the revenue
Itr.l'l ni.li'ANs IN A DILEMMA.
The Republicans, until within a few
days, were determined on ( ne ol' tho two
courses, either to strike oft' the tobacco
tax aud thc sugur duty, w hich would re
duoo tho surplus by about eighty mil
lions, or to ropcul tho whole internal
revenue taxes. Since they have realised
the dilemma in which the President's
message puts them, some of them are
halting to consider tho situai' u. They
ure BO fully committed to a revision ol
the tariff by their speeches and plat
forms thal, with the message starhig
them in thc face, they begin to think it
may bc dangerous for them to absolute
ly refuse nud resist ail tai iii' amend
ments.
The message hos in fuot put tue. Re
publicans iu a bad hole. Thc problem
the President pu sonted in it bo pre
sented to both* partios, because the Re?
publicans rule in one House, tho Domo
orats in the other, and, to got tho sur
plus reduced, hutu parlies must act.
The strong presentation of the ninth r
by the President has awakened the
country to tho fool thal thu surplus
revenues must bo largely reduced to
prevent general industrial aud financial
ruin. How thia shall bo done, Mr.
Cleveland hays in Iiis message, doponds
entirely on Congress -that is to say, on
tho Democrats in thc House and on tho
Republicans in the Senate: and while, lie
has given them his recommendations in
the niultor, as is his constitutional duty,
ho has in plain word', put the whole le
Sjponsibihty of action to avert a great
danger on Congress, w here it belongs.
THE nt TV OF TUB I lol it.
It is perfectly understood by tho Re
publicans that tho President will, and
indeed must, sign any bill sent lum
which uctuully reduces revenue. The
longer they consider tho President's
measago, the more awkward tho Repub
licans seo is the situation iu which it
plnees them, and the moro dilliou?t they
seo their course to l o. What conclu
sion they will eventually rcaoh they do
not themselves know. They came In re
convinced that to repeal the tobacco tax
and thc sugar duty was their cheap und
easy way out; but they aro not nearly n.s
suro about it today. Republican mom
hors and Senators from somo Western
Republican States have beon already
made to feel the pressure of public sen
timent favorable to tarit* reform. Thc
remarkable course of tho Chicago Tri
bune in promptly und positively sup
porting Mr. Cleveland's n sago, amt in
as plainly opposing Mr. Blaine's plant;,
is seen to bo not merely tho expression
of Mr. Medill's own long held faith in
tariff reform, but to' denote also that
behind tho powerful Chicago Tribune
stands a strong and growing Republican
public opinion und demand for tariff re
form.
Mr. Cleveland's message- hus beon a
shell in tho Republican camp. If tho
Democrats have wiso leadership, which
will harmonizo instead of disintegrating
thc party, tliey can tako and koop tho
load, and puss.a judicious and beneficent
measure to strike off tho surplus reve
nues. Tho President's message hus
shown tho way, and it has put new heart
and vigor iu too party in tho samo de
gree that it is embarrassing tho Republi
cans.

I'owdorly tells ol' the power of the
Wostoiu Union and how it stands with
out i: ?val; bow the Western Union bus
i Iteotually ami easily killed off all cum
pelitors, and cites, as un instance, tho
??.. m. of tho baltimore and Ohio,
"day Could rules absolutely tb.e desti
nies of tho Amerioan peuple,-' says Mr.
Powderly, "and be is tho practical own
er ot that purl of Hie United States
M lech he wishes to take."
In speaking of thc "capitalistic press"
he says the order cannot ask thu press of
this country to be 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, tho
editors of labor pupers and tho capital
istic press havo no control. Wo ask of
editors ol papers to speak out against
monopoly. If they comply with our
request they aro boycotted, first by thc
man (?) who own tho wires, whan thc
telegraphic nows is shut off from their
columns; second, by thc very people
who have asked of them towage war on
monopoly and because 'they do not pub
lish tho nows.' *'
The circular tells bow tho gov ruinent
has reduced postal charges to a mini
mum, and how when mistakes are made
in transmission or delivery the govern
ment is alway:- anxious to rectify such
irrer. As a comparison it says com
plaint against the Western I nion Tele
graph Company is entirely useless; that
i-, uulees the complainant 1ms ten or
twenty millions of dollars to back bim
up.

deily closes thc circular with:
"When you havi scourod all tbs liarnos

I'i'obnblu Parla' Uc*<lii?*l lon.
i; is not di?loult to predict v,hat the
bill roduoing tariff taxes will be. 'J ?ie
condition ol business and the m ocssity
of framing a measuro that will puss the
Senate dctino tho limitations which will
dctormino the boundaries of the tax re
duction bill.
We predict that it will be in substance
as follows:
First--The free list will include ail the
ores iron, lead, /.inc, copper- and also
sait, coal, coal, lumber, wool, jute,
hemp, marble, stone and other raw
materials used in manufactures in this
country.
Tho free list will elfoot a reduction of
: about $17,000,000.
Second-Tho tax on sugar will bo cut
in two in the middle. This will throw
off?$27,000,000, unless an increase con
sumption shall result from the reduced
taxation, lt may, however, bu assumed
thct the receipts from sugar will lie $20,*
000,01)0 less than at present.
Third --Thc placing of tropical fruits
upon tho free list and the lopping olfof
taxes above 00 per cont, will make a
further reduction of, say, $#8,000,000.
Fourth There will bo secured by the
changes above suggested a decronso of
840,000,000 in thu turill' taxes. Suppos
ing that tho txliome is to effect u saviDg
of $50,000,000, w hich is as great a re
duction as Congress is likely lo maki-,
thu general reduction which thu pro
tected manufactures will ho required tu
uiako will not bu more tbau ten millions.
This can bu accomplished by revising
the bl tes upon manufactures so that tho
m..nmum duty shall bo 10 per cent,
ad valorem and tho rnrximum duty 00
per emit.
A miuiniuni duty of 10 per ci t. is
"high protection. Wo submit it .o the
judgment of tho pcoplo whothor it is not
enough.
SN ? now venturo to predict that tho
tariff above sketched will bo found to
resemble tho bill upon which Democrats
take their stand as closely as tho Sarato
ga platform resembled tho President's
message. -Now York Star.

Soldiers* Panius.
In South Africa, thu disaster of Is
'idlhwnnn gave tho soldiers" nerves ft
.ovoro slinking, and it olteir happened
that falso alarms at night led to tho
rousing of whole camps, and sometimes
ovon to a reckless discharge of firearms.
In somu cases friendly natives, or even
comrades! were taken by the excited
imagination of a sentry for enemies; in
others, unoll'ending cattle, even a bash
or a shrub, becunio tho innocent cause
of a fusilado sufficient to havo donlt
widespread destruction to a host of
Zulus. An odd incident illustrative of
tito slightness of tho causo-or even,
perhaps, of tho absence of any causo at
all-that gives rise to a panie, occurred
on tho night of Tel-cl-Kobir, amid a
small cortior of the force that was
bivouacking on tho battlefield. The
narrator had crawled into a marquee ill
which, with other commissariat stores,
were tho rum casks from which ttie
troops had received their liquor ration
after the fatigues and excitement of the
day's light and previous night march.
Hosnies one or two commissariat issuers
in chargo of tho stores, several "odds
and ends'" of other corps had found
their way into tho marquee, preferring
to rest under its shelter amid the casks
and biscuit boxes than limier tho opOU
sky with thc sand for abed. Suddenly,
in thc middle of tho night when all
were sleeping, a noise and commotion
began in a bivouac outside. Before tho
inhabitants of the tent were sufficiently
awake to understand its causo tho cur
tains wore thrust aside by a red-eoated
Moldier, who shouted to us to get up:
"The Arab? arc in the camp-they aro
upon us!M Thou he disappeared ns
rapidly RS ho had como. Kvery ono
sprang to his ?rms, and probably ex
perienced that especially uncomfortable
sensation that is caused by a vague
feeling of an unseen though imminent
danger against which ono is ignorant
hovT to guard. Outside every one
around was aroused and up, enderly
striving to discover from what quarter
attack was to bo expocted. Nothing,
however, more unpleasant occurred than
tho advent of a staff oflicor asking thc
causo of the confusion. Probably thc
truth never did roach headquarters.
. Aftorwaid, however, a report gained
ground-no other or better reason was
ever forthcoming-that tho alarm arose
from tho screams of a sleeping soldier,
who, overwrought perhaps by tho hor
rors of thc day, bau been lighting his
battle over again iu his dreams!
Chambers's Journal.
Tho limitations ol* Helene?.
lt may not he amiss for mo to supple
ment or qualify tho foregoing paces
with a page or two which have a aider
ont bearing, lu tho first place, let mo
say that I have iud so much spoken for
thyself therein as 1 have spoken for that
attitude of mind which make.- science
or oxtict knowledge possible-a state < f
mind which, in our limo. I am aware,
is carrying things with a lugh hand. 1
know full well that science doos not
make up tho sum-total of life; that there
aro many things in this world that
count for moro than exact knowledge.
A tioblo -eutin., nt, an heroic impulse,
courage, and self-sacrifice-how all your
exact demonstrations pale before these
things! But I recognize tho fact that
within its own sphere science is supremo,
and its sphere is commensurate willi
human reason; and that, when an ap
peal ts made to it, wo must abide by
the result. Theology assumes to be a
science, thc science of God, and as such
the evidence, tho proof upon which it
relies, must stand tho test of roason, or
be capable of verification. Religion, as
a sentiment, a? an aspiration after the
highest good, is ono tiling; but, formu
lated Into a system of theology and as
suming to rest upon exact demonstra
lion, is quite anet' As such it is ex
posed to the terrible question, ls it true?
In other words, it comes within the
range of science, and must stand its
lire. When mirp.cles are brought for
ward aB an evidence of the truth of
Christianity, the natural philosopher ?H
bound to ask, Do miracles tako place?
If our life were alone made up of
reason or of cxaot knowledge, scienco
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 tho sphcru of
science; lour fifths of life is sentiment.
Tho great ages of the world liaro been
ages of . entunen! ; tho great literatures
aro tho embodiments of sentiment.
Patriotism is a sentiment; love, benevol
ence, admiration, worship, ar?j all senti
ments.-John Burroughs, in J'opular

Criminals are as a Milo, one-sided

to speak, lop sided. Put it is not the
men who go into the prisons that are
mentally unbalanced; it is those who
come out. Tho fact is, a man who

To tho mess-room in tho morning,

tho mess-room again for supper, where

solitary confinement in their cells,
where there is no one to talk to. Think
