With wool, coa', iron-ore, suar and lumber on the free list, tbe pretense tha the Wilson bi.l is a revenue measure could not fool a blind trian. A oooi nsanj factories ani niHIs are gtartir.g up, bat all of tbem with reduced Democratic wats. This, however, is Letter iban absolute iJierif-fS. Cov.nBMis Hi-male a tariff speech in the House last week, which we observe is beartily commended by the correpondatsof the Republican daily joarnaU of this state. TtiEP.E was a iive'y debate in tbe House oa Friday last between the Democratic fiien is cf the working men over a pro posed amendment reJucing the duty on uncut diamonds and pr:ious stones. I U quite interesting to observe the anxie ty expressed by these special friend of the poor, that they may have their dia monds cheaper. CjS.l-ua S.'Bl.tf, of the Erie Craw fjrd district in this State, baa re-tine-J the crii t because he could not swai.ow the Wil)& free tride bill and share the responsibility of the distress and ruin it wi'l briag upou the working men and Tamers of tbe laQd. Mr. tub- era ment of its revenues and becgart its people, and then propose to borrow from them the means of defraying the expens es of the Government. Great financiers are these modern Democrats:! For more than thirty years the Republicans provided for the expenses of the Govern ment and paid off many millions of the public debt, and by their policy kept tba country in a condition of unparalleled prosperity. With less than a year of control by the Democracy begzary and w ant stalk throughout the land, its in dustries are prostrated, and it is proposed to supply tbe government's necessities by borrowing and increasing the public debt. Tna Democratic members of the House decided in caucus to atUch the income tax to the Wilson free trade bill as an amendment, and have extended the time for additional debate two days, so it is probable that the final vote in the House on the combined iniquities will not be taken until Thursday (Feb'y 1st;. This is a triumph for sectional hate and bigot ry and makes the Wilson bill doubly odious. Loud threats of revolt are beicg tn-.de by many of the Northern Demo crats and some hope exists that, notwith standing the party lash is being most rig oroasly applied and protesting members are being -read oat of the party," that the bill may be defeated. Many people were fooled by the cry for "tariff re form," but now that it has been made manifest that "tariff reform," in Democratic par lance, meang free trade and direct taxa tion, indignant protests are pouring in from all quarters and in such tones as may give pause to tbe proposed wreck of our entire industrial system. CoMiCBfeVAX Ll'LTZHOOVtB, of the York district in this State, is another Democrat who will not bow the knee to fe Tension and free Trade vagaries of this Administration. He bad the hon esty and temer'ty some time since to de nounce Hoke Smith's rail on the old pensioners, and lately he announced on the floor of he House his opposition to portbiis of the Wilson free trade bill. As a matter of course the Democratic journals Tray, Iilanche anil Sweetheart, little dogs all are how ling oa his trail and be is Icing denounced and K read outot the party." In fact and in truth, Mr. BrltzUover is a "died in-the-wool Democrat" and a 'Un'J reformer," but he gas at free trade. He is a man of ability and is serving his fourth term in Confess. Cut what matters a Democrat's life time par ty record, or Lis ability, or his fidelity to the interests of his constituents, if he will cot submissive! bow to the dictates 1 y was a favorite Democratic candidate j of the Southern free trade element cow for j jvernor, but this rare exhibition of j conti A'.mf that prty ? We much tal- constienoe will utterly destroy all Lis hopes in that direction, if he had any. The "revenue tariff bit!"' that will no? rai'e revenue is bein l.urrit'd through the Hns-- nnd. r the patty lash. The suiokele chimneys, idle factories, un employed men ani famishing women andchiidren count f jrnothinjas against theoretical free ttade. Tbat the bill will pass the House is a foregone conclusion, although its progenitors admit that it wii! fail short by more than 0,00o,0W of raising the necessary amount of revenue. ' jadge the man if he will be driven to vi J olate bis conscience by Us.r cf the party lash. A half ikv.es test votes within the past few day show conclusively that tbe I Vmocratic fre trade element is in con trol of the National H jose of Represen tatives. In truth there is no longer any tiibrt made to disguise the fact that the National Democracy is joined to its free trade idol, and the "cuckoo" journals are now openly denouncing any and all Democratic members who dare attempt to protec t the interests of their constitu euts. The warring factions of the Democra cy ia this St.ite have now two regularly nouiinated candidates for Congrvssmaa-at-large in the field. EffjrU are being luade to get the two wing of the party ta Cop together, but without any pros pects of success. The Republican candi date Galusha A. Grow is already as good as elected, and the only fun the Re publicans bave in store is to watch the kiik.-nny cat liht between the two fac tions of the disunited Democracv. The Judiciary Committee of the II juse has favorably reported a resolu tion denying the right cf the Secretary of the Treasury to issue bonds, save for redemption pumoees. Now watch Srt--retary Carlisle contemptuously kick the resolution of his party friends nn J-?r his .- table and proceed with the sale of bonds. It must not be forgjtten that this is a personal Administration, and that Cleveland, like "Andy" Johnson, ill brook no opposition to "my policy." " Tom Johnson" the only and irre pressible free trader of that name in Congress; "Tom," of Clevelani and Moxaa fame, stepped into the arena on Friday last ia behalf of the babies of this glorious R.'public Tae question being on an amendment to the schedule taxing dolls, the free trade Statesman plaintively inquired "if there were not enough grown people in the country without taxing the chiidrt n." The sym pathetic " Tom's" motto apparently is : L-t the workmen starve, but give their rabies untaxed doils. Danger In trie lr.com Tax. i.a Yoas, Jan.

Cot His Bride Ey a Trick. . behk is no !on-r the slightest pre tense made that the Wilson bill entitled "a bill to rvlace taxation an I provide revenue f or the Jovernment" will accom plish either of its professed objects. It is admitted by the Secretary of the Treasury, as well as by all its supporters, that it wili not provide sufficient revenue for the Government, and there ba3 been reported and is now pending a bill to in crease taxation by levying a. direct tax on incomes and increasing the tax on whisky, cigarettes, ic Having secured power by false pretenses, the same faise pretenses are carried on: in methods of legislation. A spade U no longer a sjde, nor a tax a tax, in the Democratic vocabulary. WiLKiiiiMtBK, I'a , Jan. SI. The old max im that ail is fair in iove acd war wa put to a practical tet in a remarkable way to-d-y at the town of Maoaaaqua. IticLard ISark er, a well-known clerk, and Miss Wary Bowman, an fx school teacher, were lovers. Taey quarreled, and T.ajkt-r left the Lease in a .-age. He was disappointed but not dis heartened. In hia pocket was a loaded re volver, and he decided to test the sincerity of his sweetheart's feelings toward him. Pointing the weapon toward the sky he fired two shots and dropped to the ground and lay there motionless. Iii sweetheart heard tbe sharp crack of the revolver and shed to where her lover, as she lliongtit. was pouring out bis life's blood because uf his love for her. fine quickly summoned as- kistar.re, theyoong min was carried into Lis sweetheart's house. He moaned and she, bending low over his face, begged a last kiss and forgiveness. Ttie latter, at least, was bestowed aud Iiarker feebly aked her if she would be his wife were be to recover. She proruis-d and was eiariied when her lover sprang to bis fret ani exclaimed tbat be was unhurt. Miss Bowman will, however, keep Ler promise and the marriage will take place next Taesdav. A Suit at Law For a NictceL It is amusing to see the Democratic journals rest their case on the alleged fart, aiiT paraded by them, that tbe mills all over the country are resaoiing work. Hitherto they have denounced the existence of these same mills as mo nopolies xnd oppressors of the workmen, and their owners as "robber Barons," en riched by an unconstitutional tariff. Now the resumption of every mill ostensibly w arms the cockh s cf their hearts. They, in the slang of the day, could give old I'olor.ias points.

Corbet t, tbe American champion, and Charles Mitchell, tbe Englishman, which has been exciting sporting circles lor months, took place in an arena, erected on tbe Jack sonville, Florida, fairgrounds at one o'clock Thursday afternoon. Two thousand people cheered when the contestants entered the ring, little expecting tbat their sport would be over so aoou. Governor Mitchell was defeated, at the last moment, in.'his efforts to stop the fight, as the Duval Athletic club had been grant ed an injunction restraining tbe troops, tbat Lad been massed at Jacksonville, from inter ference. Charley Mitchell looked thin and in tbe pink of condition, and said before the fight. "Corbe t may whip me," but if he does he certainly will be aware of tbe fact that he was fighting." There was not an ounce of useless flesh on Mitchell, and be was then down to about 172 pounds and bis muscles wen standing out on Lim like wbip cords. His wind was excellent, and Lis clcsests friends expected that Le would win beyond a doubt. Tbe betting wa3 light, with tbe odds rang ing between two and three to one in favor of Corbeti, but the betting fraternity seemed inclined to hold on to their money. James J. Coibett was feeling good, but was a trifle impatient and taid before entering the ring: "I stopped training twodays ago, and am quietly resting until I am called upon by tbe Duval Athletic club, bat this suspense in wor- than fighting. I m ready to enter tbe ring and am in first c!as condition.' He entered tbe ring at I'.'j pounds and wasas Lard as a ruck. TLe rcunds in detail were as f:lows: 1st IiorxD Mc-n shake hands, fLjht be gins : 2 23 Corbett leads with left on Mitch ell's chin, they clinch and exchange body blows.

Again he look the limit in ris ing and when he advanced toward Corbett the latter swung hia riiit with deadly eir-ct on the Englishman's cose. Mi'cbeil reeled and fell on his face. Miichell did not come up again and the referee awarded Corbett the fhht and tbe championship of the world. Mitchell's face was covered with Llood and be was carried to bis corner ia a helplea3 condition. He had been knocked out in exactly 9 minutes. Corbett won the puree of tio.'JO and a side bet of $5.0u9. Mr. Sibley Resigns. Wash:sgic-5, Jan. 23.

Mr. Sibley's action was precipitated by resolutions not long ago adopted by the Democratic county commit tees of his district, indirectly criticisin; him f it opposing the Wib-on bill and announc ing that be would vjte against it. Ia answer to these resolutions Mr. Sibley wrote tbe chairman of the committees that hs could not vote for the Wilson bill, and that if the Democrats of his district thought be oa,:ht to reisn for that reason, his resriguKtion was at their disposal. Mr. Sibley says he will not sacri!is LU convictions for the sake of public oi5'e He says he will not seek or accept a re election as a vindication or iud r-emjnt of his course.
