The report from Washington that the Ways and Means comuittee is preparing a bill on the line of the democratic platform, adopted at Chi cago, which will materially reduce the tariff on the necessaries of life and place it on a revenue basis, is very gratifying and encouraging to the democrats of the west. What- ever may be said or done on oth- er and minor issues as a party expe dient, the great principles which upderlie the democratic party und which is its very life and existance is tariff reform. Ifthe party is true to its pledges on this great question then all short comings or mistakes, if there be any, on other questions can be overlooked. Individual and sectional interests will arise within the party which will have to be met and overcome. It is folly to talk of reforming the tar iff when each democratic representa- tive wants special privileges extend- to his district. A high protective tariff is no less a fraud and injustice to the consumers because it fosters manufactures in districts that hap- pen to be represented by democrats. The democratic party is in power for the first time, in all branches of the government, in over thirty years and they will and should be held re sponsible fora failure to give the people relief from a burdensome tax system wherein the many are taxed for the benefit of the few. Mr. Cleveland is an earnest aud ardent believer in tariff reform and no measure will be half-hearted on that subject which he has any jnter est in. He it was who reinfused new life into the tariff question by his strong message on that subject du ring his former administration and we predict that his forth coming message to congress next month will take as advanced grounds. Let not ‘the democratic representatives and senators waver or divide when this great crucial test comes up—and let it come up at the earliest moment possible. In repealing the Sherman pur- chasing act no attention was paid to local interests. Now that the tariff fght is on no attention should be paid to local interests or the plea’ of raanufacturers. It is the duty of the democrats to fulfill their promises by drafting and passing « consistent revenue bill. A bill that will com pel the wealthy to bear their share of the burden of taxation and at the same time one tnat will cheapen the itecessaries of life and reduced to the lowest point the cost of living to laboring classes «For a gentleman who protests it is not in accord with his dignity to talk, brother Benjamin Harrison keeps the reporters tolerably busy The impression given out by Mr. Harrison is that, while he must con- tent himself with remarks of a vague smd general nature, the time may -Speedily come when he will give a bill of particulars that willelectrify the nation.

J. Stone, of Missouri. He isa democrat ont and out. Right on the financial and tariff questions, sternly opposed to the continual en- croaching of federal power, he would make a president of whom his party might well be proud. And wouldn't he “fire” the republicans ,in a way that would gladden the heart of every true democrat in the land!— Tronton Register.

C., Nov. 17.— Judge Heard of Sedalia, father of the Missouri representative of the seventh district, died to day at the home of his gon in this city. Judge Heard was 85 years of age, and one of the best known men in Missouri. He was one of the pioneers of the state, having moved with his family to Pettis county when only 4 years of age. It had been Judge Heard’s custom to visit his son in this city each winter, and last Saturday he left Sedalia with his wife) He caught cold en route and died of pneumo- nia. Arrangements have not been perfected for the funeral. Secretary Gresham's letter in re gard to the condition of affairs in Hawaii has caused quite a sensation. He is of the opinion that this gov- ernment acted in bad faith in con spiring to overthrow the monarchi- al form of government and that the deposed queen ought to be restored to power. This letter of Mr. Gresh am’s has raised a sturm of indigua- tion among the leading republican papers of the country, who, at all hazards, right or wrong, hold that it is their bounden duty to uphold the Harrison administration and to de nounce and villify the acts of Presi Ex-secretary of Agriculture J.

Dispatches received from Bauff say that the seashore for thirty miles is strewn with the wreckage of vessels. Pioneer of Huil was washed ushore Friday evening. She was carried over the rocks and cust ov the sand. The crew was saved in their own bout. At Grangemouth the barkatine Betty was driven on the rocks, but the crew wassaved. An unknown steamer wus next wrecked on the headland and soon went to pieces. Wreckage inscribed “Grangemouth” has. Seen washed ashore with a quan tity of interual fittings, life boats, etc., and it 1s also reported that sev eral fishing boats have been lost off the same spot. {u Lough Feyle two wrecks are reported. ‘he A.

DeArmond, as one of the lieutenants of Congress men Bland, the chief of the silver forces, became one of the leading silver advocates in the House, and his defeat in the next congressional convention would not ovly be con- sidered as a rebuke to his very valu able services but a virtual stab at the cause itself and might lose us hundreds of rotes at the next elec- tiov. Iu fact, any serious opposition to his nomination would work harm, especially in view of the fact that his brilliant predecessor was accord ed three terms in congress, as his turning down at this time would be regarded by the great many who stand firmly by fair treatment of silver, as a condemnation of his course, having been, in his letter to the St, Louis Republic, one of the first, if not the first, to sound the note of alarm, which, with others, aroused all that espoused the cause of equality of silver with gold, to earnest action, having been assigned to take a conspicucous part in the closing hours of the debate when the ablest on either side were select ed and having assisted entirely throughout on the same line, though inevitable defeat confronted ago Miss Wilsou discarded Cole. { Yesterday Wilson and his boys | went to the tisld to get some corn. | They bad been gone but a few me.} ments when Cole and Austin rode to; Wilson's residence where Wilson was and iuquired | After ascertain- ing his whereabouts Cole left for the | field where Wilson was gathering | corp.

Attempt at Suicide. It Might Have Been Prevented. [From the Boston Post.] While the walks in the Public Garden were crowded yesterday afternoon about 4.30 o'clock, people near the entrance gates at the corner of Beacon and Charles streets were horrified to see a man suddenlg plunge a knife repeatedly into his throat and fall to the ground. While waiting for a conveyance an officer questioned the would-be suicide, who was about 50 years of age, as to his name, address, and reason for wishing to end his life, but the man steadfastly refused to give any infor- mation regarding himself. He was taken to the Massachusetts General Hospital and surgical attendance given him. Although weak from loss of blood it is probable fe will recover. About 9 o'clock last night a hospital attendant got a little information from him. Hesaid his name was Samuel D—-, and that he came some weeks ago from New Brunswick. The last few days his head has felt queer, and he has been wan- dering about the city, not knowing which way to turn. What impelled him to commit his rash act he was unable to say. The above is the familiar but terrible story of the results of mentalderangement caused by overstrain of the nervous system. People who have dizziness, headache or back- | ache, or who are troubled with melancholy or despondent feelings, are already well on the road which leads to insanity and suicide. “Dr. Miles Medical Co.: I cannot find language in which to express my apprecia- tion of the great benefit I have derived from the use of your Restorative Nervine.
