" A friend, who is a graduate of

Lee and Grant that we are tempted

to copy. He says: '
-"To - compare Grant with Lee
should be iudeed bv the circumstances of
each. Reverse Ahe positions 'and put Lee
' in command of 4he Federal" army, with all
-the material and men, and Grant to create
the means of the Confederate army, and
what think you would have been the ver
dict of the world? Grant .was atehild'of
fortune, and while he was a man of fair.
abi!ities!he would nave showed very differ
ently. .But why get in . the way of a rail

panting in the hot sun, crying for

' It was plain that Grant cpuld

TARIFF BBDUCTIO N A. .NECESSITY.
It is reDorted that Mr. 8am Randall now
says that be is as much in favor of revenue
reform as any of his opponents, but was
not willing to follow, tne lmpracticaoie
course of revenue : reforms one year ago.'
Now that the time has come for something
to be done, Mr. Randall claims that ! when
real tariff reform is: practicable he will Jbe
found favoring it with as much vigor as
Mr. Horrison.WVtftf Orleans states, t : ' - ;
There was precisely as much rea
son and n ecessity . for th eC red ucti on
ad readjusting "of the War Tariff in
1884 as there is in 1885. .. The de
pression of trade, wasupon the ooun
try then as it is now . .The High Ta
riff was a burden and a curse then as
it is now. The time had . come in
1884, for Tariff reform, but Mr. Ran
daU gaw it noU si He 0pp0ged!and
bolted his party. He defeated; Ta
riff, reform. It is too late for him to
attempt now , to masquerade in; the
guise of a reformer. He has never
been an open, frank friend of reform.
He has been kept in Congress by, the
Protectionists of Pennsylvania. He
is at heart just as much a friend of
High Tariff now as he was when he
antagonized the Morrison bill and
allied himself with the Kepublicans
for its defeat
The Democratic party, in Conven
tion assembled, decided for la
riff reform in 1884. President
Cleveland stands bv .raritt re-
form. Mr. Carlisle will be elected
Speaker in spite of Randall and his
set of Democratic Protectionists.
Mr. Randall sees the handwriting on
th& wall He
is trvinsr to ease
around BO that he will find shelter
m aw
from tbe 8t0rm. The Rob Roy doc4
trine ig not the doctrine of the Dem
ocratio party. The principle of po
litical economy to which the true
Democracy clings is, that a man has
a right to sell where he can sell high
est, and to buy, where he can buy
cheapest. - Mr. Randall despises that
principle. Tariff reduction w a ne
cessity, and the Democratic party is
committed to it
The Stab some time ago spoke of
Gen. Roberts as possibly the best
living: soldier in Great Britain. He
has recentlybeen made Commander
in-Chief in India, and it war of any
kind occurs he will be sure to give a
good account of himself. An ex
change says:
" 'Fighting r Bobs, as 8ir Frederick.
Roberts is popularly called by Anglo-
Indians, has done some of the quickest
marching and promptest,: hardest fighting
of any General of. modern times, and if war
breaks out on the Afghan frontier there is
.no soldier in the British army who would
get his troops on the ground quicker than
lieu, KoDerta, or nguv narder alter he got
them there." . u- v s, ;
CURRENT COMMENT;
' . The surrender of the protec
tion wing of the Democratic . party
to the tariff-reform . win e; does not, of
course, mean that Mr. Randall and
his followers are any less protection-
I jsta than they were when , they made
I their fight two years ago, but it
I does seem to indicate that quarrel-
mg is to be at an end, and: that the
tariff reformers are to-be given nn
disputed possession of the field; and
this, in. turn, means that tariff reform
is likely to ' take, its .place, squarely

we should beyond doubt have found

Now that the gun and projectile
makers are devoting so much atten
tion to the improvement of war-arms,
it is gratifying to hear that the needs
of the poor' skirmisher in the , open
field are not overlooked. A shield
has been invented, said, to be bullet
proof, which may be attached to the
muzzle of a rifle, like a bayonet, and
behind which the soldier can lie, the
shield affording both protection" for
his person and a rest for his gun.
The, disc -weighs only three pounds
and can be easily carried.

n Defalcation 'of Tnlrtr Thoiiaad
Dollars.,
(By Telecraph to the Morning Btar.l
Galveston. August 20. A special to
the New,. , from Fort Worth, says: "A
startling rumor spread through this city
yesterday to the effect that the late John
Kicnola, vice President of tne City na
tional Bank, whose sudden deatn oc
curred last Monday at the Bank, was a de
faulter to a large amount. Immediately
after nia demise tbe omcers or tne Uity
National Bank called a meeting of all other
bankers of the city, - to investigate the
affairs of the- Bank. - This committee re
port that they find. Nichols to -have
been a defaulter to about SbUOOO, but tbe
committee consider the Bank solvent and
sound. The Bank has a paid up capital of
$150,000, with a surplus of f 60.000. -Mr.
A. M. Britton, the President of the Bank,
says that they are well prepared for a run,
and tnat tne Bank la perfectly- solvent and
will recover, its loss out of the estate of
Nichols. It is now generally believed that
Nichols death was suicidal, ' lie is be
lieved to have left an estate valued i at
1100,000, and his life was insured for $24,
000.- Although Nichols was Vice Presi
dent or tbe Bank, and held $50,000 worth
of stock, he officiated as Teller, and thus
had an opportunity for abstracting money
without Knowledge or assistance of an v
other employe.
Nichols was also City Treasurer, but thus
far no irregularities in his accounts. as
treasurer nave been discovered, do fart as
is known the outside indebtedness lof.
Nichols, on individual notes, .amounts: to
but Szu.OOO, although rumors are current
that his private indebtedness is much larger.
Nichols was a. man of frugal habits, and
did not drink or gamble. . His funeral yes-;
terday was the largest ever witnessed in the
ciiy. - '
The discovery of the defalcation has
created a profound sensation, ' as Nichols
stood very high, and was one of the most
popular citizens in this . place. : He leaves
two daughters, both, of whom are married.
