FRIDAY, MARCH 23, 1888.
The high lloenso law, as applied bj
the Philadelphia courts, has greatly to
dticod the number of licensor. Tho
tiumbor for the past year has been
fi770, bat under the now law tho niun
her qf applications was reduced to
il l 27. In seven wards containing 1312
saloons' petitions were presented this
yoar for .only 727, nnd of those the
court has rejected 3G8. At this ratio
an throucn. mo cuv mo numocr oi
Hconsed plaoes will bo reduced from
nearly u,uo to less man i,ouu.
"The trouble which everybody knew
existed between Adam Bsdeau and
General Grant daring tho latter's ill
ness seems to havo been handed down
to his family moro as n matter of an
noyance than of importance. Gen
eral Bdeau's claims can not reach over
SlO.OOO by his own showing. A good
many of the secrets of tho famous sick
chamber aro likely to get into publicity
through this suit, which is, therefore,
certain to devolop some sensational
features before tho end is reached.
Colonel Grant seems to be willing to
let tho responsibility .for this rest on
General Badeau, from whom the mem
ory of other days seems to havo entire
ly departed."
Banal of the Emperor.
Tho funeral of Emperor William
took place Friday. The weather was
again extremely cold.and tho troops,
who were ranged tour deep along tno
routo taken by the funeral cortege,
wore heavy cloaks. The low temper-
ature had no apparent effect upon the
poople, and hundreds of thousands of
spectators occupied the space behind
tho soldiers,whilo every window along
Unterden Linden was orowded. All upon such matteis of party concern as in the "stalled" train, forced to live for prevent n political chango in the nat

service took place in tho cathedral in

he is likely to receive many moro at

years longer.
If slang may ever be permissable,
one might be excused for calling the

high proteetivo tariff, during the past
week, "chestnuts , for there was not a
Bingio new iaea or argument in any oi

Senator Blackburn's desk in the Sen

on Friday last by one of tbe hand
somest floral pieces ever seen at the
Capitol. It was in the form and color
of the United States flag, and was sent
to tho Kentucky Senator by tho Han
cock Veteran Association of Philadel
phia, in recognition of his "so ably de
fending tbe memory of our dead be

Mr. Blackburn was justly proud of the
offering.
On I rlday Mr. Mills, Chairman of
tho Ways and Means Committee, asked
lor tho unanimous concent of the
Ilout-e, to the sittings of his committee
during the sessions of tho House, nad
his request been granted it would have
greatly facilitated tbo business of that
committee and enabled it to report tbe
tariff bill that much sooner. It was pro
baly for that very reason that Mr Bar
rows, ot iuicbigan, a republican mem
bur ot that committee objected. The
republicans are resorting to everv
known method of delaying the report
of this bill to tbo House, tait tho major
ity of the committee have decided to
report it this week whether the rep
ubllcan members of the committee like
it or not. To enable litem to do tl is
they will hold night sessions. The first
was held on Mturriay last and the in

Horrible Bailway Accident.
Savannah, Mar., 17.-An awful rail
road horror occurred to-day on the At
lantic and Gulf Road, seventy-five
miles below savannah and iust ten
miles above Blackspear, a straggling
village in tho pines of Pierce county,
Georgia.
The first section of the Cuban fast
mail train from New York, bearing
tourists from the Worth for Jackson-
ville, dashed through a lofiy trestle
bridge over the little Satilla river and
death aud detraction wero spread
with lavish hand. Ninoteen men,
women and children wero instantly
crushed to death. Six more lingered
in agouy for a short time and about
forty passengers were badly injured.
t he entire train, wl'h tho exception ol
the engine, was dashed to pieues,
A reporter who reached wayoros",
the scene of thn accident, says the
srone is a horrible one. The people of
Waycross aro wild with fxcileraent
and overcome by their hotr.ble hup
loundltigs. 1 lu ic passengers who
escaped death nnd injury are heroically
iruguliiig to tclieve the suffering ol
their unfortunate compa-iot,., but . there.
have been bu slight means of relief to
be found in'thu dittolate region wlure
the accident occurred.

wind blew at tho rate of sixty mllos an

snow fell, in these great cities was the
deepest snow of tho season and accom
panied by such a gale, great banks of
snow wero heaped everywhere Tho
legislators nt tho nation's capital were
ranking laws and no one outside ot
Washington know what they were
doing. Philadelphia was barricaded
from tho world. New York was wall
ed up by solid banks of snow. Bostou
wng 0t off from everywhere except
London. The towns nnd cities along
tho lino of the New York Central were
burled out of Bight. The Connecticut
roads wero snowed under, and it was
liko digging for tho ruins of Pompoii
to get them out. Newark and Now
Brunswick, within easy reach of New

trade of the East north of Washington,
All this, while aunoying, was not
serious bey-nd its expensiveness. Busi-
better off than another. But there
wero other features not so lightly
thrust aside. It was Dot tho passengers
viotima of the several railroad wrecks
caused by the snow and those of ih
wrecked vessels along the coast. Hire
iy nas there been snoh a tale of suf-
f,.rjng on sea and land, and the horrors
0f Dakota are almost rivaled by thoso
of the Atlantio shore.
Yet, we havo had one blizzard in all
its varied phases. Some there are who
will compare i with tbe siorm of 1845,
but when the youngest inhabitant shall
have become tbo oldest he will si ill
cherish a memory of the great blizzard
of 1888.
The lorco ot tno great storm was
spent in Maryland, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, .New xork and How Hnuland
There was little snow south of Wash
ington. Eastern Pennsylvania caught
it heavily. west ot Uamsburg it
caused no serious trouble, and Pitts
burg and Buffalo were its western
boundaries. The storm made itself
felt severely in Now York city and up
the Hudson river. The snow was
heavy in Connecticut and reached up
tno Now England coast beyond Port-
iand. Within the limits of Washing-
ton, Pittsburg, Buffalo, Saratoga and
lioslon the. railroads and telegraph
companies had most of their trouble.
No one was looking tor a blizzard.
It bad its origin away out in Oregon
about fivo days before. It a as harm
less enough until it struck in towards
the Atlantio coast. Then the trouble
began. Here its progreps was barred
by a great anti-cyclone wave of high
barometer which stretched along over!
tbe ocean. Then came tho olasb. In
its approach to the sea the Btorra, be
fore feeble, was reinforced by immense
supplies of Uulf btream vapor, and
now it suddenly became a hurricane.

Beprrting the Tariff Bill,
Washikotok, March 20. The wnys
and moms oommitice having comple
ted consideration of tho Mills bill had
'a imetint! t -day, but both the inai r-
ity and minority are at work upon tho
repoits which aro to oca nupany tho
bills entrance into the house. The
majority report will not be long, and
will consist of tho considerations
which influenced tho committee in
drawing tho bill. The minority re.
port will not discuss the provisions of
the bill, except in a general way, and
will not pretend to sta'o the objec
tions which tho rt publican mombets
profess to believe there are to it, but
will bo an elaboration of the alleged
unfalruers and ill treatment which tho
minority has tuffercd al tbe hands of
tho majority. It will complain that
tho republican members have not had
time to coiifidcr the comml ti o bill
carefully, aod that they have been do
piived of gahiipg such information as
they desired by (ho aptjon of the ma -
jority in refusing honriugs to persons
and intoiests affected by tho. proposod
changes In the tariff. If tho minority
continues to hup on this string muoh
longer, tho string is likely to snap and I
fly back on them,- for the domoorats
are prepared lo show tho folly nnd
laiiaoy ot tins reputiiiom cry. it will
bo shown in duo time that tho minor
ity has refused to study tho informa
tion nt hand as the majority has. Tho
committee's bill will probably be to
ported on Fiiday or Saturday. The
republicans, it is said, will not submit
n bill with their report, but may havo
ono ready when tho bill comes up in
tho liouno. They aro beginning to
smatt under tho criticism which has
been heaped upon them by reason
of their utgativo policy.
The Boot on the Other Leg.
It was ono of the favorite arcuments
of the republican party in former prcsl-
dential oamnaiuns that If tho demoorat
io nartv should tret into Dower thong
anils of ofliuo bold rs would bo removed
and tho civil servioo of tho country
would bo utterly demoralized by the
change. In 1884 the people turned
the republican party out of power ana
turned th domoorats in. By pursuing
a safe conservative uoliey tho demo
cratic national administration avoided
tho shock predloted by the republicans,
Tbo machinery of covernment runs
smoothly. The revenues are honostly
collected and as honestly disbursed,
The enditof tho govcrnmeutjnover
