- DmSIONS AND DISCORD.
The Philadelphia Times is a saga
cious, able Independent Republican I
paper much given to Protection ideas. I
It sometimes writes as if it favored I
reform even in the Tariff, but its I
general tone is of the Pennsylvania I
sort and that means taxation of the I
many for the benefit of the few. The
Time takes, like its neighbor in New
York with the same name, a -special
interest in the President, l These two
able papers keep a kind of watch and
ward over the new Administration,
lest any harm should come nigh it
front Democratic ignorance and
"sDoilsmen." as they call the Demo-
- -
asking that Republi-
crats who are
cans shall be turned out. The . New
York limes is a sound Tariff reform
paper, but its Philadelphia namesake
rather straddles with its face on the
Protection side of the fence.
The Philadelphia paper represents
the Administration as being decided-
lv clear and united in the matter; of
Tariff Reform and that it will rely
upon Samual J. Randall, the Phila-
delDhia Protectionist, "to champion I
the Administration in the House." It
savs that what Secretary Manning
recentlv said authorizes the state-
ment. It says there is some differ
m ...
ence of sentiment among certain
members, but that the position of
the Administration' will be found to
De very "conservative." Mr. ruin-
-m sr sfc'
dall say 8 he is in perfect harmony
with Secretary Manning's views. ;
All this may be true, but we are
not prepared to accept the statement
as yet. The ablest speech made in
the Senate against the Tariff since
the war was made by Senator Lamar.
Attorney General Garland has also a
record in the Senate as a Tariff Re
former. Mr. Bayard must turn a
complete sommersault to get off the
Tariff Reform plank. Postmaster
General Yilas made an extreme Tar
iff Reform speech a year or so ago
that was published in the Louisville
Courier-Journal sad a part of it used-
m . . sr
in an editorial in tne stab. Air.
Cleveland's position is less eatisfac I
tory.
Just here, let us add, that it is now
thought that breakers are ahead on
the currency question. Mr. Blaine,
was reported in one of his papers as
recently saying that the Democratic
party would go to pieces on the sil
ver question that if Cleveland in his
first message should take the ground
he .did in his recent letter to certain
members of the House, and which he
would be certain to do, that it would
break up his party in the Congress
and he would have to fall back upon
the Republicans for support. Of course
the wish was father to the thought1.
But there is some probability that
the party in Congress will divide on
the" silver question, and. if the Times
is correct, on the Tariff question also.
; PEACE IN EUROPE.
The Stab is glad that the proba
bilities are all in favor of a peaceful
adjustment of the difficulties be

Russians have learnt a lesson that

fight.- England has displayed great
resolution and energy: . It is a grand
sight to witness the unanimity of the
British whenever their rights are. en
dangered. They may be .aggressive
and even unfair in dealing with
weaker nations, but they display, the
greatest will and courage and patri
otism whenever England's rights are
threatened. ' Say, what you will.there

many a Southern heart. A brave,

sation and desire was for the good of
his people the worst persecuted and
most maligned of all American born
citizens, he deserves the sympathy of
every kind heart and the prayer; of
every pious soul that has audience
with God that his sufferings may! be
alleviated, that his last days may be
his brightest and most blissful days,
and that the Saviour of mankind may
be with him when he comes down to

country to be excluded from puDiio
offices of appointment and compelled
to see those offices filled, as was' then
the case, almost exclusively by. their
political, opponents; nor did he wait
upon death or resignation or delin
quency to enforce his opinion on this
subject. The removals that he made
were particularly for "electioneering

hand does not always remember .that the
iron which cives color and richness to her
blood is the very same metal as that from
