But with a majority of seventeen in the present House (as shown from , its vote! last spring) against any. consideration of the sub- iect, I am not much encouraged to look for any measure of practical re lief on this important question by the present' Congress. - Nor can I see much to encourage the belief that the Fiftieth Congress will be any better, and I venture the prediction that if any attempt by it is made to reduce the surplus revenues it will be rather by abolishing the internal revenue tax on whiskey and tobacco than by reducing the tax upon those articles of prime necessity entering every day consumption of the masses of the people." - . - - Cot Morrison sends the following letter from Waterioof I1L : "The at titude of the majority party in the House this winter towards che tariff question should, be that attitude which will best secure such a- reduc tion that the tariff will yield all the revenue . we need, and no- more, without removing the internal reve- i nue tax on tobacco and liquors." i a. a. jiu is, oi xexas, says : - "ine Democratic party ousht to and will push the fijrht this winter for the re duction of the tariff: The people engaged in this fight are enlisted for the war." - A. J Warner, of Ohio, savs: "I think the ma jority party should favor a tariff on all products in the production of which there is compe tition between this and otlier coun tries sufficient to cover the difference in the cost of production arising out of the difference in the conditions under which their production is car ried on here and elsewhere.

They are - identical on the finance, .: on the tariff, and on the land question. Cleveland's policy is in opposition "to any regulation of railroad freights, and, in a word, is a simple sub-letting of j Republicanism under Democratic colors. : With such a policy the great mass'of the poople become disgusted, and thousands of Democrats, to my knowledge, have voted the Republican ticket to mani fest "their disapprobation of -Cleveland's suicidal policy. - . f -. i Martin A.

" ' 'One night 'of ten destroys a whole life. The leakage of the night keeps the day; forever empty. - Night is 6m's harvest' time. More sin- and crime are mmitted in one night than in all the days of I the week. This is more emphatically true of the city than bf the country. The street lamps, like ; a file of soldiers, with torch in hand stretch away in long lines on- eitner sidewalk; the gay colored ; transparencies - are ' .aMaze with attractions; the saloon and bil liard halls are brilliantly fllummated : music sends forth its enchantment; the gay company begins to gather to the haunts and houses of pleasure; the theatres are wide open, the mills of destruction are grinding health, honor, happiness, hope out of a thou sand Uvea. The city , under the gas light is not the same under God's' sunlight The allurements and perils and pittaus or night are a hundred fold deeper and darker and more de structive.
