TARIFF REFORM IN THE CON
GRESS, If Southern Democratic papers are
willing to conciliate and flatter and
honor S. J. Randall by keeping him
in charge of the most important com
mittee in the House the Northern
Tariff reform papers are not willing
for this suicidal act, we are glad to
see. Newspapers and politicians
who are always for compromise and
concession have no fixed principles
or methods and will never win a vic
tory. The Boston Post, the old
Democratic paper of New England,
takes this view of Randall:
'The one controlling objection to the de
fection of Mr. Randall and his handful of
-followers is that by such a course he would
- definitely take himself and them out of the
: , Democratic party, and he can best serve
-the interests which send him to Congress
: by retaining a nominal connection with the
administration party.
; If he had gone to the party for
which he has been laboring for sev
eral years past, and from which he
has had his reward from year to year
by being kept in the Congress en
tirely by its favor, it would have
; been very much better for the Dem
i. tsr ocratic party and for all honest at-
Vz'M tempts to fulfil often repeated party
Vf i ing of the awful and unconstitutional
v-
War Tariff.
If the Democrats in harmony with
;tne Administration nave any purpose
j-ffil making a vigorous and earnest ef
ovfort to cut down the Tariff, with ita
gross inequalities, its unbearable bur-
vilens, its wicked robbery of the poor
'? for the benefit of the rich, they must
take action without the slightest re
ference to Randal, and with not the
f faintest purpose or desire to concil
!: ' .iatehim and win him over. Ran
dall "is much sot in his ways." He
;r: is another Ephraim wedded to his
k;' idols.
The command in the Bible as
r to the early Ephrim was "to let him
, alone.? That is precisely what should
be done with Randall, - the Protec
tionist. Let ns turn to the ablest Tariff re-
forni paper in New York, the New.
York Times. What does it think of
the dangerous idea that again Ran
T ;dall tnnst be courted and placated by
-7'casop, in order that Democrats
may at least make a semblance of an
effort to cut down the Tariff. It
says: " . ..,
'His tactics and those of his faction con
sist in isolating the tariff question and
keeping it separate from every other party
matter. It is only in this way . that they
. can retain.: any special , power over that
Juration, only in this way that ! Mr.! Ran
all can- earn the indulgence that he has so
, long receivea from the Republican protec
tionists of his State, h
-"Bat plainly Mr. Carlisle cannot con
cede that the tariff shall be an - isolated
question. It s is a - party - question m the
broadest sense of the word " " Tt is ahsri.
Iutely the only national issue on which the
Democratic cartv has anv dpfinltn dnnlarAd
policy on which it is clearly divided from
mmj nepuDucan party. ; The party is com-
vwneTer P0881 way, except by
legislative action, to tariff reform."

Randall and his faction are not Dem
ocrats really, but assistant; Republic
cans.' The Times says: ( i ' -" -
"But their strength lies Wholly in their
recognition by the Democratic majority. -
do long as uey navo mat recoguitiou, niui
its prifilegea0 long as they retain their
places on the committees of the House, and
can command the influence and advantage
given by those places, without changing
juicir uppuBiuon to too uciuuuuus.mum
policy, they will not abandon . that opposi'
tion. Will Mr. Carlisle compel; them to
chooser . Will the party in the House dsck
him in so compelling them? Thet e lies the
question of the whole session.
"It is intimated in our dispatches that
it is not yet clear to Mr. Carlisle that he can
safely toplaoaJtt Kandall.' it ougni w
be elear to him: that he cannot safely do
anything elaevit'ls aa certain as sunrise
that if Mr. Randall Ib left to himself he will
deffiat the tariff reform policy of the party."
If Randall will not abide by the
caucus nominee and; the Democratic
Tariff bill let .him - go over to the
camp to which he properly belongs.
The Democratio party will never
prosper by retaining traitors in its
fold men who will unite with the
enemy to assail them at a most criti
cal time and under the most embar
rassing surroundings. This is no
time for dallying or dickering with
enemies. A great campaign is just
ahead. The Democrats must either
redeem their pledges, make a sincere
effort to reduce the Tariff or go be
fore the country in 1888 with "Icha
bod" blazoned on their banners. The
country needs and demands a recon
struction of the Tariff in the interest
of the people. Shall this be done?
That is the one great, pregnant ques
tion. It is certain that none but faithful
and tried friends should be put in
charge of the outposts. The Phila
delphia Record, the ablest and safest
of all Pennsylvania papers, and the
one true Democratic paper of the
second greatest city of the country,
says:
"The Democratic party has control of
the Executive Department of the Govern
ment and of the House of Representatives.
It is the business of those Representatives
to originate revenue measures, and they
are responsible to the country for the re
sult of their actions. Under these circum
stances, whoever shaU be elected to the
Speakership should so organize the com
mittees naving the . direction of important
legislation as to carry into effect the will of
the party majority. It -is hardly
possible that Mr. Carlisle would in advance
damn all possible consideration of a re
venue bill by appointing to the chairman
ship of an important committee a Repre
sentative who is not in full membership in
the Democratic party, and who is not in
full accard with its policy and that of the
Administration."
PI.AGIARI8BI AMONG ATJTBORS.
There is such a thing doubtless as
unconscious plagiarism when the
thoughts of others have become so
interwoven into, the very texture of
the brain as to render one incapable
of distinguishing between purely
original excogitation and those ideas
which have sprung up and flowered
in other minds. We remember hear
ing many years ago the late Rev.
Dr. Wilson, of Hillsboro, tell a
pleasant story personal to himself.
He was an eminent teacher, and a
man of true and simple piety. One
day, during recess, he was taking a
short stroll, when a bright and en
ravishjng thought took possession of
him. He was so fascinated that he
kept dwelling upon the thought and
said it appeared to him of exquisite
beanty and force. His first impulse
was to tell it to his boys when school
met. Upon further consideration,
he thought it too precious a jewel to
be thrown amongst such an unappre-
ciative audience as a company of
school boys, and concluded to reserve
it for future use on some more im
portant occasion. He never doubted
its being bis own cherished "brat of
the brain" a genuine efflorescence
of his own mental exuberance. But
alas! some few weeks afterwards
whilst hearing a class in Horace re
cite, he met the veritable conceit,
language and all. He had of
ten read it before, " and the
fine thought of the gifted Ro
man had become so - incorporated
into his own intellectual organization
that be had unconsoiously appro
priated it, thinking' it a genuine
coinage of his own mint, bearing the
unmistakable Wilsonian stamp and
image. However innocent, if Horace
had known how the good Doctor.had
filched one of his own best thoughts,
he might have hurled at him one of
ms stormful exciamatione, "Away,
ye imitators, servil herd !'
But it is quite another thing to
take the language ' and ideas of an
other and pass them off as your own,
or even to follow the .general track
of thought pursued by another wri
ter. 'Such1 an act has been mildly

cially if they be of the j more pre

remember the elegant way in which
the rarely gifted Xord Macaulay hits
off those who strut about 'decorated
in the plumes of a larger, and truer
spirit. He says : -
"There is a very pretty Eastern tale, of
which the fate of plagiarists often reminds
us. The slave of a magician saw his mat
ter wave his wand, and heard him give or
ders to the spirits who , arose, at ; the sum

waved it himself la the air; but he bad not
observed that his master used the left hand
for that purpose. rThe spirits thus irregu
larly summoned, tore the thief to pieces in

It is a well attested fact that God
has distributed intellectual gifts un
equally among the children of men.
Some few he has endowed with the
highest mental wealth; to others he
has in his wisdom denied even the
smallest intellectual treasures. Whilst
there have been millions of dullards
and literary Beotians, there has been
but one Shakespeare. ..Along the
centuries there will be found, at
distant intervals, a Homer, a Dante,
and a Milton, a Plato and a Baoon, a
Demostheres and a Burke. But for
the delectation and benefit of man
kind the beneficent Creator has be
stowed his mental largesses upon
many of his children, who lees gifted
than the others, have yet contributed
much towards the world's innocent
enjoyments and improvement.
The literature of every highly
civilized people supplies a number
of eminent names which the world,
indifferent as it may be, would not
willingly give up.
Those great, creative authors have
had many imitators, some of them of
the baser sort. Not so
with, al), I
however. Some are not servile copy
ists, but receive mental direction and
tone from minds cast in a higher
mould. Any one conversant with
letters will be able to recall many ex
amples in point. In every age there I
is a fashion in literature just as there
is a fashion in dress. Any genuine
belles lettres scholar can easily dis
tinguish between the productions of
the Elizabethan ago and the times of
the Christian Renaissance; between
the days of the English classic writers
and the authors of the more brilliant,
profound and natural later Georgian
and Victorian ages. . Submit a dozen
lines of verse to such a scholar and he
will be able probably to tell at
once to what period the author
belongs, although he may not have
seen the verses before. Now in
every literary epoch there have been
a few noble minds who have origi
nated, developed and perfected those
works that have given a distinctive
tinge and character to it. We
might easily particularize. There
are certain authors who by reason of
a singular and admirable genius are
the leaders the creators the foun
ders of schools in letters. They in
fluence all the lesser lights of their
day to such an extent, that they are
thought to live only in the reflected
lustre of the larger and more glori
ous luminaries. In our times, we
have seen how such minds as Car
lisle, Macaulay, Thackeray, Dickens,
Tennyson, Charlotte Bronte and
George Eliot have affected the litera
ture of both England and America,
very many writers have imitated1
their styles and modes
with some success, without
achieving any great fame. There is
another class of writers, to whom we
referred in the outset. They have
little, talent .but immense ambition.'
I They are hot content to use what'
I talents they possess in original pro
duction. Their aspirations - are.
greater; they burn for heights to
which only the immortals may go.-

it appears to advocate a principle or

The Philadelphia Record thus states
one of the Herald's ways of doing
things. It eays:
. "The New York Herald, in iU exceed ve
zial for toe cause of Democracy, advised
the Democrats of New York to elect Fred
Grant, who after the votes had been count
ed was found to be several thousand bo
hind his. colleagues on the Republican
SUte ticket. The Herald now coolly ap
propriates a considerable share of the credit
for the Democratic victory because the
Democrats . of New York- relected its
advice."
For a year or more the Herald h&a
been particularly strong and perti
nacipus in demanding a decided re
construction and reduction of the
Tariff. A few days ago it whipped
around and is now favoring a post
ponement of all reduction of surplus
and taxation. It somehow happens
that newspapers and politicians blow
a vast deal over this and that, but
at the very nick of time whea the
oorki to begin to baok up the
opinion theee organs of dodging be
gin to temporize and qualify and
talk with wool in the mouth and
pray for postponement. Out upon
such deception ! It is enough
to
