Mopped by the enactment of a low tariff. Their whole argu.uect for the Mills bill and a tar.ff for revenue only was based upon this enormous surplus. They thought to scare the country and make converts to their free trade theories by this tn'inendous bugaboo. The result rather disappointed their expectations. The ople of the I'nited SUtes at the polls in NovoiulH-r, 1SS, showed pretty conclusively that they mere not nearly so much afraid of a surplus as Messrs. Cleveland, Carlisle and Mills thought tliev would be. This iwue having failed, the IWmo cralic leaders in Congrefs have been c-ast-ing.Umtlheni for another, and now they think they have found it. Mr. Carlisle lias acted as the -arithmetic man" the Ih-nKN-ratic al'.idavit editor, so to speak slid he has figured that at the end of the j.rewnt session of Congress the country will have to face, not a norrible surplus, but a still more horrible deficit.

This is a very pretty bubble. It was ; shnost a pity lo break it. Hut one shot ii-utu the Caution at the head of the Ap propriation Committee has resolved it u.toairand water. Mi.

Of course the Southern lvmocrats in Oong.etw are vehemently and bitterly opfMMed to the Federal election bill in troduced by Mr. Henry Cabot Ixvlge. , The adoption of such a measure would f in-ver put an end to all hopes ol IKmiio- . cratic supremacy in Congress, for it would insure a fair and free vote for Congress men in Suit hem districts in w hich one vote now- weighs as much aa three votes in the North in Congressional elections.

Ciiilds baa finished his literary work on bin book giving bis per sonal memoirs of General Grant. Mr. Childs says it is remarkable how General Grant has grown in the public heart since his death, and he quotes Mr. Blaine as saying that the admiration in which Grant's memory is held abroad stamps him as the greatest of American citizens of bis time. Such a testimonial from Mr. Blaine will carry great weight, for no man studies closer the tastes and senti ments of the people with whom be min gles than does Mr. Blaine. But whoever cares to study the sentiments of the peo ple will find that General Grant's mem ory is safe both at home and abroa 1.

The story centn i upon the cham pionship game of last autumn between the New Yoik and Brooklyn clubs, who appear as the " Brobdinnags " and the " Bride grooruf," and the conspicuous players may he recognized through their thin dif-guises. Twenty illustrations picture the striking fan cies of the text. Considering the enormous interest in the national game it is turpi ising that it has not inspired some literary genius before.

The pres-nt depressed c mdition of farming in the Kastern Stales is the occasion for much wild discussion, but the wildest comes from the Free Trade organs. These journals fre quently inject into their news despatches, and always into their editorial comments, the belief that the depression is due to the Protective policy. This is but a continuance ol the plan of the last Preiidential.campiign, when special apeals of this kind were made to the farmers. The result was a larger far mer vote than ever before for the princple of Protection. This ought to have been sufficient notice that the farmers were nut to lie hoodwinked and led upon false scents in the efforts to corns" existing inequalities. r.ngland is Free Trade, and there the farm ing community are lower in the scale of in telligence and prosperty than any other. The once indcieudeiit yeoman of Great Britain, whether now of England, Scotland or Wales, is little better than a serf. The lands are high in produce, the products low, and while manufactured article! are not high, there is little money earned in farm ing with which to buy them with. Portugal is another Free Trade country, made so by the persuasiuu of Kngland. Jt w as once the Queen of the Seas, and noted for its advancement and wealth. Now it it so far behind the age that the farmers still use crooked sticks for plows, and such things as labor saving agricultural implements are unknown. The prices of all farm products are miserably low, and yet even these have to compete with imported codfish, the staple food of the country because of its cheapness. A ioorer population cannot be found iu all of the civilized world, and this fict is due to the surrender of the policy of Portugal to that of England. France is almost contigu ous and yet under Protective laws the French farmers are the most prosperous in Europe. Tuey had so well saved from ample earnings thai upon the first call foraaub scription to meet the great German Indemni ty, tbey showed their ability to meet the entire amount. Now take a country which acta upon the jioliey of "a tariff for revenue only." Such a country is Mexico, and of 12.000 ,0)0 of people there are not 5000 farmers. Indeed, there a re but a lew owners of large hacienda-, whose lands are free trom taxation, and whose laborers are generally peons, or slaves. The wages are but IS cents a Hay. equivalent to 12 in our money, while the women get nothing. In England food is not cheaper than prior to the rejieal of iu Protective laws in 1M0, if we except the grains, while income and wages are smaller, and the ability to buy greatly less. In Germany the lie ly found ed system ofProumion is increasing the prosperity of farmers and workmen. It may be laid down as a maxim that prosper ous workmen make proserous farmers. There may be exceptions, and the present period of transition in the Etstern States is one of them, but when the home markets are established iu the West, a healthy equili brium will be restored, and American pros perity w ill one more lie general. Take away its Protective laws and the grains of the I nd it and of Russia would compete with those of our own farmers in our own mark ets. The Ohio Legislature to Fram at Law to Annul the McComaa Bill. CoUKm a, , March 12. A bill has been prepared aud will be introiuc! in the Oiio Senate to-morrow, changing the law so as to constitute tha Governor of the State the K turning Bjard for election purposes, instead of the Gjveruor and Secretary of Slate, as at present. This piece of legislation is suggested by the McCotnas Congressional bill, so that the successful candidates in the n-w Congres sional districts will be sure of g-tling their certificates of election. Governor Campbell has stated he will issue certificates to mem bers elected tinder the redisricting scheme, regardless of whether the McComas bill be comes a law or not. The Senate bill providing that Presiden tial electors shall be elected in the respective Congressional districts, wita the exception of the two at large, has bsen recimmeiided for passage by the Committee on Federal Re lation, and there la litils d-ult that the bill will ss the Senate, whsre it origiuated. The democratic leaders think also that it will pass the House and become a law, as it has the informal endorsement of the caucus. Annual Appropriations. Wamiisutos. March 13 Chairman Can non, of the Appropriation Committee, in speaking today of the annual appropria tions, said there would be no incrrswe of ea pendilures outside of ensions and public buildings.

The Virginia and North Carolina delega tions are preparing a petition to be presented to the Speaker, asking recognition to take up the bill to repeal the tobacco tax.

To Prove Conspiracy. BafK.rn.va, X. Y., March 13. The Mc Calla investigation vti oontinued before the Court of Inquiry at the Navy Yard to-day, The examination of witnesses only tended to repeat andenlarge upon the evidence here tofore brought out about "cutting down" Walker and putting others in irons and strait jai kets to avoid nratiny. One point, however. Lawyer Choate wanted to prove by Assistant Engineer Bennett, and that was that there wras a conspiracy to injure the Commander ; and unless certain letters that witness h&i written were produced he could Dot gain the necessary information. The 'Viurt ruled that his private corre spondence would have full protection. Mr. (.'boats made several appeals, but to no pur pose.

The inoculated feline spread the disease, until now nearly every cat in the township bas the rabies and the people are almost panic stricken. The brutes are far more ferocious than Dili dogs, and actu ally pursue people. A few days ago Miss Agnes Bouta, one of the best-known young ladies of this county, while walking through the yard, was attacked by one of the rabid animals, which pursued bar to her room and kept her there until she was rescued by members of ber family. More than a dozen persons have been bit ten, and Mary Heath, Jane Ellison, Kate Vanderpool and Tommy Uildebraud, all school children, were badly mangled by cats. Nearly all the domestic animals in the neighborhood have been bitten, and there is no telling where the thing will end. The schools are closed and the men are hunting cats, and the pop of the rifle ia beard on all hands. A 0 organized effort will be mde to kill every cat in the toanship, and every animal that shows tbs Uast sign of rabies will be killed instantly. Tna bitten person -e in the bands of physicians, and every effort will be made lo save them from hydropho bia.
