Joiin L. Sullivan, the champion Slugger is going from bad to worse. Not satisfied with his puglistic laurels he has announced his intention of being a candidate for Congress from one of the 15 n districts.

On Tuesday morning th police found the body of a woman at the corner of p railway arch, in the Whttechapei, London district.

According to the latest bulletins, CoipjraU-mes Tanner Is still booyant Of demeanor and teDnpes'uous of speech, while the Honorable Bei jmin Hani son bas mental heartburn. General Harrison is tugging away at Tanner's Coattal s and vainly whispering tn bis ear. "Don't you know the talk about tbe poor soldier was all for effect, and just to pull in the votes ?" But the Corporal pre f era his own voice to Brotb er Harrison's, and knows that it U not his own funeral that ia to be Celebrated The situation is as comic as coolj be j desired, bnt General Harrison doesn't appreciate humor, and especially wheD the tangh is on fcim. Hon. S. S. Cox. better known as "sunset" Cox, a widely known Demo cratic Congressman from New York city, died at bis bom In that city on Tuesday evening, aged 05 years. Mr. Cox was born in Zanesvlile, Ohio, in 1P24, and was one of tbe oldest mem bers of Congress, only one, .Tur'ge Kelly, of Philadelphia, outranking bim in the comber of yeats of service. In tbe death of Sunset Cox :he country bas lost man who was a credit to Ameri can politics. During tbe many years he served In Congress not a e!np;le stig ma, was at ached to bis character as a man. and be was known aa a d-termtued and fearless foe to jobbery and corruption. Mr. Pbters of Kansas, says the New York Star, was one of the con gressional contingent which invaded tbe third Louisiana district dnrlng the canvass preceding the defeat of Minor. The Kansas campaigner baa made a re port of his expedition into the Louisia na lowlands, iu which "he speaks with enthusiasm of tbe way he was received In tbe South by at I classes," as we are told by Washington dispatches, evi dently inspired by Mr. Peters for his own exculpation and glotification. in tbe light of the triumphant elec tion of the Democratic nominee, the in cidents that seem to be most vividly impressed on tbe mind of tbe Republi can cmpaigner are that he dined with Mr. Trice, now tbe Democratic Cons gressinau-elect, eat on the same ilaform with him at a joint meeting of tbe par ties, and was treated like a prince wherever be wect. In fact, as far as the occurrences daring his expedition are concerned, the congressional emis sary is witness that the Democratic triumph was altogether necessaav, pro per and enjoyable ; tbat the sugar dis trict in Louisiana is tbe most blissful region under tbe eun. and tbat there is cot tbe slightest reason for ary out siders worrying about a popa'ation that takes such excellent care of itself, Of the existence of a candidate named Minor Mr. Peters makes no men tioo whatever until be is asked whether tbis pleasing election may not be con tested. Then the Kansan comes to h'mself and remembers ht it was bis m ssion to pave the way for the install ation of a Repnblicen in Gay's place. without regard to tbe vots cast for tbe soccers irshi p. He pulls himself togeth er w.tb d faculty, and in answer to the question, ' Was the election fairly con ducted ?" says tbat "on the outside it was ju: I ke Northern election ; but whe her or not these externals were de ceptive, i something he would rather not speak about until he knows wbetber there is to be a contest. If Senator kuy should conclude to isMoe orders o contest the election of Trice bv 8,000 majority in a total voe of 25.000, we may expect to see Repre sentatives Peters of Kansas and bis as sociate visiting statesmen prepare to back up tbe successors of Eliza Fiok- ston In declar.og tbat this peaceful, courteous and chivalric election was characterized )y perjury, intimidation, shootings and lyDchings throughout the paiishes in which Mr. Peters and his colleagues were dined and wined and made much of by their hospitable op ponents, whose gates are always open to the stranger, especially if they are quite sure, that, politically, they aie going to take Lim .o. TlJE L'vtninq Ttlegravh. Republican. of Philadelphia, calls upon the soldiers of the country to vindicate their claim to popular respect by demanding the re moval of Pensioner Commissioner Tan ner. It thus pointed y presents the question to the Soldiers of the country : Who can believe that, in view of these facts, tbe President, who said tbat fidelity and efficiency should be "tbe only sure tenure of office' while he was President, Intends to stand by Com missioner Tanner ? Or who is it that so s'anders the Grand Army of the Re public as tosav that it would not sop port ih.- President in removing from of fice an incumbent so lacking in fidelity xnd efficiency a? Commissioner Tanner has proved bimself to be be ? The Grand Army has enough intelligent, if not enough patriotic men in its ranks to understand th t. if Commissioner Tanner is in the first few months of bis official life to create a deficiency of S40.000.000 in the appropriation for pectoris, be will soon create a fee! Id e of public indignation which will go far to ward an entire revision of the pension system a revision which will cot be in th direction of extending tbe system. Tbe truth is tbat such a reckless and unscrupulous demagogue and charlitan as Tatin-r has proved himself to be is the mos: dangerous enemy the pension er could possibly have at tbe bead of the bureau. The Grand Army should be the first to demand that he shall be removed. A review of the first half year of President Harrison's Administration, now cloned, says the Boston Po.it t shows tbe accomplishment of very little which appeals to public interest beyond what has oeen done in connection with tbe Civil Service. In fact, except such oc casional attention as the Treasury De partment has given the matter of re versing accepted rulings in the interest of higher duties, the work of the Ad-, ministration ban been confined to the distribution and regulation of the Fed eral offices. One or iwo assistant secre taries bave been worn out In this occu pation. tbe President bas been forced to seek repose in tbe retirement of along vacation, and tbe Government is welU exbansted by its efforts. As this Ad ministration, both by profession and by pledge, is devoted to reform, it might be expected that the result of such arduous labors wonld appear in a aub stantial advancement of tbe cause dur ing this period of six months. Unfor tunately. t seems to be generally ac cepted tbat the contrary is tbe case. There is little that is surprising in tbe report from Washington, sys tbe Pittsburg Timts (Republican,) that tbe disposal of the extra session qnestion has made room for the question of a change in Commissioner of Pensions ; and there certainly la In the report that Corporal Tanner Is to be relegated to the ranks, very little to surprise the public. Secretary Noble, it is well known, bas for some time been fixed in bis mind that tbe Corporal should re tire and without deciding, one way or another, other questions the President, it is understood, bas settled in his own mind that tbe welfare of the Adminis tration requires a change. Tbat there is such a thing as too much of a good t lng appears to have received coufir nwlou in the course of the Corporal. So tbe PresideLt will think it wise to have less of fie good thicg in the Pen sion Bureau and put the surplus some where else. A Teacock worth ?300.000 died re cently in Chicago. Ills first name was Elijah. The Tariff a Tax. Some few tariff monopoly organettes. profess to believe tbat tbe recent Dem ocratic Convention, was not very ex plicit on tbe tariff question, while tbe tariff monopoly organs, with editors who at least bave sufficient wit to write, and not clip their tariff articled, de nounce the platform as being a "free trade utterance unequivocal and defi ant." Leaving tba organs and organettes to fight their own battles, concerning tbe Democratic platform, we are free to say, that tbe tariff plank is in line with tbe growing sentiment of tbe people, tbat "the tariff w a fax." The platform ex pressly declares it to be a "tax," and this of itseir, is a move in tbe right di rection, which leads to freedom of tiade. One year ago this little word "tax" grated barsMy upon the ears of the tariff boodlers, and they were many pro fessed Democrats who hardly knew whether to admit in one word that a nice sounding phrase like "tariff duty on importa." was, after all, bat another came tor tbe more vulgar and oppro brios word tax. Now all nice distinctions bave been brushed aside, and tbe party bas but to show who pays this tax ; which done, tbe battle for revenue reform will have been won. They wbo have profited by tbe system of tariff-for-robbery-ouly have dishonestly labored to instil into the minds of their blind dupes tbat this tax is paid by the foreign importers, and not by tbe American people. Perhaps some of them believed it, for where there is chronic dishonesty there will exist more or less ignorance, and gener ally more than less. Every farmer and every workingman and every other kind of a man who read Republican party tariff literature, will remember tbat they wero asked to be lie re tbat the foreigo importer paid all the duties collected at the custom bouses. Now, It is but fair to presume, that the only motive which prompted tbe tariff boodlers in their fradulent at tempt to deceive the people on this question was tbat of fear. If the protective tariff duties (taxes) are necessary to tbe "building np and maintenance of American industries;" tbe "supplying of a better borne market for farmers," and "tbe steady employ ment of. American workingman at high waste" why deliberately lie ti the people. !u order to obtain their votes in favor of a continuance of that which all men would, if it were true, unhesitat ingly vote to sustain ? Why, if the tar ff tax is such a beneficent plan for insuring prosperity to the industrious, was it necessary to tell the supposed ben ficiaries that this tax was not paid by them, tut by the hated foreigner wbo was trying to "flood the country with the products of pauper labor"? This is a question the tariff boodlers must answer, and we have no hesitancy in spying that in this lies tbe rock which will wreck their tariff ship. crew, cargo and all. We bave rot lost fai h in the integri ty, patriotism, and business "hoes sense" of the people, and because of mis we reel assured, tbat when their eyes will bave been opened to tbe cruel impositions under which they bave been ptaced by fa!se economists, and trick ster politicises, they will rise in power and majesty of their rffended citizen ship, ana crush out forever, a tariff rax ing system which ban been npbeld by falsehood, bribery, intimidation and cant. Now tbat tbe issue is fairly joined, will tbe een'.lemau of the protee'ed tariff school of political economy, please tell th peop'e wr.o pays tbe tax ? Jfirrislurg Patriot. Too JInch UoTernment. The beauties of the socialistic idea of having tbe railroads conducted by the Government are being exquisitely ex hibited in Germany just now. A vear ago as an experiment the Russian Min ister of Railroads, put on a few fast trains between the principal cities. They were greatly appreciated and the public cried for more. But in Germany the publie proposes aDd Prince Bis marck or one of his puppets disposes. In this case the Minister of Railroads ensiled sweetly and took off even tbe experimental fast trains. The Uet state or the traveling public in Germany is therefore worse than the first. They bave no express trains and cry as much -s they please they are not likely to get them. The only reason alleged to support this arbitrarv nolirv n. the r:nimrnm.n of Germany is that the rails used on the railroads there are not heavy enough to stand the strain of express trains. This is a good reason. But tere tbe remedy would be plain and speedy of advancement. Private enter prise would come to tbe public's relief with a railroad properly equipped. I? the existing railroads refused to accede to a general popular demand other rail roads would be built whose managers would be more complaisant. The fact is no great railroad corporation in this country can afford to contemptuously decline to notice any just and reasonable request its patrons may make. Bat with the Government in control of the railroads who can ray that arbitrary and undemocratic methods might not come into use. The check of compe tition free and full upon all would be monopolists and tyrants is wonders fully powerful. nttslurq Di.natch. Harrison's Administration Under Cover. In determining not to call an extra session of Congress the Presideut has, as is usual witn bim, been governed en tirely by corsiderations of party expe diency. Indeed, it ia nmnli itocl.pii that the effect of a call to Congress upon the prospects of Mabooe in Vir ginia waa the controlling reason for the couclusion of the President and Cabinet that an extra aessioo "might be embap rassing to tbe Republican party." Matters of general public concern, such as tbe financial question, relief to bnsiness interests, the change of the House rules and 'early settlement of election contests, would bave turned tbe scale tbe other way. But Harri son 'a solicit ode lest something might occur to injure bis dear Mahone or his beloved Foraker bore down ah oppos ing reasons and reversed tbe former conclusion in favor of an extra session. Tbe decision is a confession of weak ness. Why should tbe l'resident fear the criticism of a Republican Congress ? Why should not Mabonu and Foraker be helped by debates at Washington before election ? Becanse tbe evidence is against the Administration. Because the Republic party is distracted by dissensions, weakened by scandals, and made ridiculous by the unseemly doings of ita representatives in high office. These are the reasons why the majority is afraid of tbe minority and why the Republican party tries to remain under cover, in order tbat so far as is possible votes at the November elections may be cast in the dark.

The Tide el Tariff Reform Is on the Flood. Democrats bave endorsed in State Conventions tbat the protective victory of last Autumn has not demoral.zed tbem in tbe slightest. They it may be as well to say we were most unconscionably whipped at that time, bnt it hasn't changed our conviction tbat we were right. Tbe common tense of the people may be blinded for a time and a panic may be created an old trick of politics by which tbe wrong candidate gels tbe office. But in the long rnn the people make the crooked things straight again, and ibat "long run" will terminate in 1S02, when tariff reform will become an es tah'isbed fac. The Democratic half of our ten mil lion vo'n a bave been consistent believ ers in the genius and enterprise of American manufacturers and dt-termiu ed defenders of their rights. Tbe home market n yer bas and never will satisfy their demands. We bave tbe skilled labor, we have tbe machine ry or if we hiven't the Utter we can make it. We have the resources of a rdagniScent country to draw from ; un surpassed mill sites ; an immense labor ing population with brains in tbeir fin gers, wbo can product larger results In ten hours a day than tbe same class In other countries can produce In twelve or fifteen.' We bave therefore a right to be re presented in everv a Darter of th r1ntu and to carry our wares without let or ninarance to every country where pur chasers are likely to be found. A tariff which limits our activity and constricts our efforts is, therefore, hostile to our national ambition. It lies our handa behind nnr harfra .nil disables ns in the grand fight for wealth. The party which adopts it as a policy represents an economical blunder. During tbe last five months a great many Republican business men have learned tbe lesson by bard luck, by di minishing profits and threa ened bank ruptcy. Tbe tide of opinion has turned, and if the elections of last year bad been postponed to this November tbe Demo crats would bave been elected by a large and decisive majority. It is a matter of dollars and cents. Tbe manufacturer favors tbe party wh'ch gives bim the best chance to make money, and tbe wage earner throws his influence on that side which insures the steadiest and the largest income. Governor Ames voted for Mr. Har rison. He made a mistake. Mr. Har rison's party is pledged to make raw materials dear.

The young man retired to his blankets tbat night, but about 2 o'clock in tbe morning be awoke with tbe feeling tbat someone waa trying to saw tbe top of bis cranium off. Upon lighting a lamp he found that the only trouble was that the oil on bis bair had attracted a few thousand ants. - A slaughter of swallows has been or ganized on a large scale along the southern seaboard of France. The pojr creatures alight on wires provided for the purpose tired out after long flights to or from Italy and tbe East, and tbey are killed In thou sands by means of electric cunents. Tbii modern massacre of tbe innoceLt bas been ordained in tbe interests of fashion, and tbe slaughtered birds are used for the dec oration of the bats or bonnets of dainty dames and damosela in London, Paris or New York. Detectives have dis sore red that Mrs. Robert Ray Hamilton, tbe woman in jail at May's Landing. N. J., duped her hus band into marrying her. Mrs. Hamilton claimed to be with child to Hamilton and on tbat score he married her. She tbeu procured a child from a midwife and claim ed to be its mother and Hamilton tbe father. Mrs. Swtnton, a New York woman, and bei son. Joshua A. Mann, a lover of Mra. Hamilton's, are In the Tombs prison, charged with being in a cone piracy with ber to get money from Hamilton and prob ably murder him. Mra. Hamilton is still in Jail in New Jersey for slabbing tbe n orse. Mrs. Donnelly, but the latter is now rapidly recovering. The duped huebaod declares that be will bave nothing fuurtner to do with his wife. On the banks ef the Trinity, about a mile and a balf from Galveston, stands an old log cabin dating from the earliest days of Texas, This cabin, it is claimed, is nightly the scene of ghostly orgies, calcu lated to freeze tbe blood of any living crea ture within sight and hearing of them. A party of young men in a spirit of adven ture visited this haunted hovel a few nights since and report that tbey found it iliumi nated by an unearthly blue light, which emanated from no visible source and filled with suffocating fumes of brimstone end sulpbor. Invisible bands snapped and tugged at tbem and shrieks of diabolical laughter and lamentation too pitiful for de scription mingled in a dreadful chorus. Half-embodied figures could be dimly seen through the bazy atmosphere of tbe room. A party of sportsmen from Fort Stok ton, Tex., while hunting lantelcpes In the Sierra Charrote a few days ago, made a most singular discovery. Riding up a nar row gorge they ought sight of a gigantic rattlesnake trailing his hideous leDgtL along the steep crag just above their beads. Several of tbe party, states the truthful cor respondent, fired at the rentile. but cone of tbe shots bad any tffect beyond causing bis snakesblp to accelerate bis leisurely movement. The bound of tbeir sbote brought a man out of a cave in the rocks, and after some talk the hunter; were invited to enter. Tbey found a woman and ch 11 dren there. The woman lighted a torch, revealing tbe cave swarming with snakes of every description and eize. Tbey bung from rocky projections in the roof and sides ef tbe cavern, hissing at the unwonted light, and glided about from one corner to another. One great slimy black monster lay across tbe throat of a sleeping infant, gently waving its horrid head above tbe child's mouth. An older child was eating something from an earthenware vessel, and a large rattler leaning from bis shoulder would swing over and eat from tbe dish, while the child would strike it with its bare hand whenever its strange messmate seemed getting more than its share.
