Only one of these the Record is an exclusively morning paper ; one the New York News is an evening paper ; while four the Boston Globe and the Herald, and the New York World and the Chicago News print both morn ing and evening editions. And, what is quite remarkable, not one of these widelv circulated journ als support the Republican party, and all advocate Tariff Reform on the lines laid down in President Cleveland's celebrated messages to Congress. Exchange senator Vance's Vle. The first subject under discus sion was the tariff. "As to the tariff tight in the Senate," said Senator Vance. "I know no more than vou do. The debate in both Houses was exhaustive and in matters of detail perhaps more important than any that has ever taken place in this government. We consider that the fight which the Democrats made was a tri umphant one in this respect, that while a numlter of Democrats in the House refused to vote for the Mills bill, the Democratic vote in the Senate against the Senate substitute and in favor of the Mills-bill was solid, and this, too, in the face of all the demor alization which follows a defeat in a Presidential election. It in dicates that tariff reform, as ad voeated by the Democratic 'arty, will triumph at a very early day, so surely as there is any justice among men and force in human logic It is ver probable that all parties in the next Congress will make a lnrginning by repeal ing the tobacco tax, and when it is seen that the present tariff continues to accumulate a surplus in th- treasury notwithstanding the abolition of the tobacco tax, the necessities of the situation will force a reduction of the tariff d uties I'.ut the principal cause, in my opinion, of Mr. Cleveland's defeat was the sectional feeling which was appealed to by the Republi cans, It unfortunately happens that the bulk of the.

W ashi.no 1 ox. 1). C, April 15. President Harrison gets protests tverv day now from southern colored Republican;, against the plan he has adopted of giving all the important offices in the South to white men, especially where there is likelihood that the of ficers will be brought into eon tact with the people. This plan if rapid lv carried out. would re strict colored men to the clerk ships and messeiigerships in pub lic o dices, and would shut out manv of them who are aspirants for administrative places. A formal memorial against this plan, to be signed and presented 1 ail leading southern colored Republicans is talked of. Tlir Plot Thickeni.. The record of strikes since the last national triumph of the Re publican party is enough to show "the ' thin it y of the party's preten sions to be friendly to the work- mgmen. We doubt that in the coming three vears the reduction of wares will be such, and the i growth of organized monopoly so apparent, that in 1892 the peo ple's party will win a victory over their opponents. It is impossible that an intelli gent people can long accept the monstrous political dogma that the taxes must be levied to pro tect certain classes and give bogus pensions, instead of only to support the government. The problem of high tariff for protection of monopoly is such a transparent fraud, that perhaps it is better that it have full swing and work the wTillof the monopo lists until the people find out the why and vvhreforeof the outrage perpetrated by the government that makes living cost twice as much as it should, and filches the tax -payers money to manacle all the avenues of business.
