KB basis is a 'horizontal" reduction along the whole ino of about twenty per cent , which , lowovor , with the exceptions conlom- latcd , will rcduco to an average of sev enteen per cent. Its feature is that it in no case reduces below the rates of the Merrill bill of 18(51. ( Cannot a tariff bill ho regarded 09 ample , and as 'air to the manufacturing interests , which is based on the schedule adopted at the beginning of civil war ? If it is un derstood as it would seem to bo 'air to assume that the inequalities and discriminations hove been corrected during the long experience of twenty fours , then the proposition to rcduco the items in equal proportion would seem to bo the most feasible and judi cious plan possible. That it is so , would seem clear from the fact that the re duction now proposed docs not exceed that contemplated jy the republican tariff corn- commission last year. That commission proposed a reduction of from twenty to ; wonty-fivo per cent , although in fact it did not achieve moro than from three and ono-hsif to five per cent. It is thus seen that Colonel Mosrison's seventeen > or cent falls from three to eight per cent short of the limits sot by the republican tariff commission. This bill will incur the danger of conceding a greater num- bpr of articles in the horizontal ist such as the silk and woolen Hides , and Col. Morrison will need to irococd cautiously and firmly in order to carry his work forward to completion. As wo said yesterday , Mr. Hewitt ac cepts the principle of the Morrison bill , and arrangements wore made by him and Col. Morrison to have treasury ofli- cials furnish scheduled so as to show in larnllol columns the present duty on each article and the amount of revenue derived therefrom ; the rate proposed by ho Morrison bill ; and the rate of the Merrill act of 1801. The protectionists in line , and propose to fight the bill u every schedule. Col. Morrison puts jute butts , bitu minous coal and slialo , bristles , sponges , Mid iron , load , coffee and nickel on the roe list. Ho proposes a reduction on chemical products , such as soda-ash and caustic , coal'tar dyes and caustic soda , f about one-fifth ; and a reduction on lecoratod china of twelve per cent , and plain china , earthenware , etc. , of en per cent. The bill contains a pro- iso that no duty on metals shall exceed ifty per cent , ad valorem , or its cquiva- ent. The rate on steel rails is s reduced from S17 to § 13.00 per ton. The duty on bleached cotton goods is re duced from three and ono-half to two and light-tonth cents per square yard no rate to exceed forty per cent ad valorem , or its equivalent. The rate on cotton ; oods is reduced from five cents to four cents pur yard ; on cotton hose , laces , mbroidorios , etc. , from forty to thirty- wo per cent ; on brown and bleached inons , from thirty-five ( the rate fixed ast ynar ) to twenty-eight per cent ; on wool , from ton and twelve cents to eight and nine and six-tenths cents , respect- voly on first and second classes ; and voolon goods moot with a similar fate , 'ho rate on sugar is cut down from 140-100 to 112-100 cents per pound , and similarly on molasses and cleaned rico. The duty on rye , barley and pota- oes is similarly reduced , as is also that on silk umbrellas and gloves. , l THE proposed plan that the people shall elect postmasters , rovouuo collec tors and United States district attorneys 103 boon sot down upon by congress , the louse judiciary committee having ro- jortod adversely on the joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment providing for such election. It would not do for our senators and congressmen to cut thorasolvos off from the control of so much patronage , thereby weakening .hoirinlluonco and personal following. There was not any moro show for such an amendment than thora would bo for ono providing for the election of cabinet P officers by the people. A bill f r the election of territorial govornor.1 and soo- rotacios by the paoplofo the orritories has met the same fate for P ; ho same reasons. Thu conclusion of onqro&s is that the people have got enough to say in the matter of elections already , although the people may not think so. AT llockford , 111. , the wife of llobort P. Porter has entered suit for a divorce , on the ground of desertion. Porter is a journalist who has achieved quite a repu tation fur his discussion of the tarill quov don , Ho has lived away from his wife and Ins two children for three or four years , aud hag done nothing for their support. A mambor of the tariff com mission , ho has more recently been it Europe , where ho has written tarill' let ters to the Now York Tribune and the Chicago Inlcr-Qoean , Ho is u talented , but insincere writer , and it is moro than iiilimitod that his private Ufa has been of such character as to an&kcn jealousy in his wife. Mrs. Porter has the osUcm and sympathy of the people of Kockford , a ] jJTur retirement of Robert Harris , vice president of the Erie- road , has opcnet the way to the promotion to that office of one of the ablest men in the profession. President Jovrctt announces that Mr. 11 S , Bowen "will act for the president ii ; all matters connected with the roadway and structures , real estate , and the operations orations of the transportation depart ; uieut , and in the discharge of such other duties as the president may from time to time assign him. " Mr. Don uu is a thor ough railroad man , and knows every foot of the Eriound ita branches. Ho wont o the Erie some eight or ton years ago , living boon for some years previous the superintendent of the Kansas Pacific. The west has never sent east a moro .horough railroad man , or ono bettor ox- libiting , in ofllco or out , the charactoris- , ics of the true gentleman. SEA'A TOn.KLKCT l\LA. \ CKtiVRif. The democratic senatorial caucus of the Kentucky legislature mpt again Monday evening. The name of Carlisle was with drawn , ho refusing to bo n candidate , and the contest lay between Senator Williams and Mr. Joseph C. S. Blackburn. Mr. Dlackburn was nominated on the first ballot , receiving 03 votes , ngainst 57 for Williams. Mr. Blackburn , who haa served Kentucky in the house of repre sentatives for eight years , and luu > just entered on hia fifth term , waa born in Woodford county , Ky. , Oct. 1 , 1838 , and ia 40 years old. Ho was educated in Kentucky institutions , graduating at Center college , Danville. IIo studied law , waa admitted to the bar in 1858 , and practised until 1801. In that year ho entered the Con federate army , in which ho served throughout the war. At the close ho re sumed his law practice in 18G5. IIo was a member of the state legislature in 1871 and ' 73. Since that time ho hns served continuously in congress. His record in congress haa been that of a working member. Ho is , under the speaker , chairman of the committee on rules , in the present house , and in fourth on the committee on ways and means , of which Morrison is chairman. OWINCI to the operations of El Mahdi ; ho supply of gum arable from the Sou dan has boon shut off , and the probabil ity is that our postngo stamps and envel opes will hereafter bo very poor stickers. The concern that has the contract for making the envelopes for the government uses a ton of gum arabic every week , and : ho factories that make commercial en velopes no doubt use it in equally largo quantities. The confectioners also will suffer from the ncarcity of gum arable which is largely used by them. Already the article has advanced about 100 per cent. THE matter of Utah rates is the Chi nese puzzle of railroad tariff tinkers , Ono day they say they have got it all right , and the next day they are obliged to begin over again. The general mana gers tried their hands at the puzzle , and becoming disgusted , they turned it over to the general freight aSonts and ad. journed. The freight agents , although assisted by the astute aud scholarly Vin- ing , also gave it up and adjourned. Meantime , the Burlington holds the key to the situation and coolly stands on the outside , and laughs at the fruitless efforts of its rivals to adjust Utah rates. TIIEUE is a tricky political scheme , the obvious purpose of which is , by the nomi nation of colored candidates for president and vice president , to withdraw the colored vote from the support of the re publican ticket. It is tafo to say that the colored republican citizens of the country will not bo hoodwinked in this way. They will not lend themselves to helping heir old taskmasters into power. TIIE sum of ton million dollars is the imit which the majority of the house committee . are willing to appropriate for rivers and harbors , The estimates of , the engineers in charge of river and liart beTl improvomontaamount to $35,000,000. The committee will probably recommend at average appropriation of about ono fourth of the estimates , and will proceed as rapidly as possible to prepare the bill , which it hopes to hnvo ready boforojtho 1st ol May. Wi : welcome Senator Logan to the rank of journalists. In hia speech to the Illinois journalists in Washington ho stated that ho was a member of their body , having once a newspaper for a few day. In illustration of the power of the proas > ho quoted Napoloon'd remark that he would rather have four newspaper * than , an army cvrps. And , said the sutu ator , four good newspapers are moro alP powerful than the best army corps in the boat organized army in the world. Mn. CHAMUEULAIN , in a recent speech , made a vigorous defense of the pnrlia montary caucus , in response to an ex pression of tory honor. Ho likened it to an Armstrong gun , by which force is started and transmitted , and brought to boar with precision and irresistible force at the time and at the place whors it is wanted. The machine docs not make the force ; -it only prevents its being wanted.

The present year promises to bo pro- ific in coal holes , and the results moro stiafaetory and profiUblo than over bo- ore. The discovery of a vein of good coal in this state would bo as good as n old mine to the owner , and an invalua- > lo boon to the manufacturing interests and lira people generally. Tin's fact has limulatod the energies of many individ uals and companies to spend time and noney in experiments. The state has encouraged those efforts by offering largo rewards to the first discoverer , but the nst legislature repealed the law and provided - vided in its stead that the state purchase a complete plant for boiing for coal andean oan it free of charge to any person desir- ng to test the bowels of the earth So rar the returns have not been as Jlattering as could bo wished. There are at pres ent three bores in progress in the south eastern portion of the state , and ono pro posed in Seward county. The mine iponod by on Omaha company in Rich ardson yields a fair quality of coal but the quantity is not sufiicicnt to supply local demand. Favorable coal indications are also reported at Omio , in the recently opened Otoo reservation , which will bo Jioroughly tested the present year. The atost hnd is reported on Elk Crock , Johnson county. A firm of well diggers , working on the premises of Dr. M. Per ry , on reaching n depth of 72 feet , struck a strata of black substance resembling coal. It contained carbon , and burned freely in the fire , leaving liqht white onlica. It is generally believed that a ijood vein of bettor coal will bo found at i greater distance , and so strong is this conviction that a company hos been organized to prosecute the search. The result will bo watched with much in- .orcst. Thus far this winter has been n most ravorable ono for the cattle men on tl'o plains. Very few complaints have been icard from any quarter. The weather iaa been cold and dry , and free from se vere snow storms. In fact the snow fall ! ms been comparatively li ht. Strange as it may seem northern Wy > ming has tared bettor than the southern portion and Colorado. Reports from these dis tricts and from northern and western Nebraska agree that the present winter lias been unusually favorable for young and old cattle. The condition of stock at present is excellent and all expect to pull through the remainder of the winter with very little losi. The Black Hills Times says it is an open secret that the Sioux. City & Pacific intend to build to Fort Fottorman by next September. The Central Pacific has surveyed two lines during the past season throughout Wyoming from Ogden along the Sweotwator valley to near old Fort Caspar. No explanation could be had from the engineers , but it is surmised that they wore seeking connection with some eastern road , probably the Sioux City it Pacific. During the past season the S. C. it P. has survoycd-n line up the Cheyenne river to the head of Shawnco crook , where the road will strike the first valuable coal beds west of the Missouri river. Thence the road is along the PI ttto river to Fort Fotterman and west ward. Cattle were shipped from this section last fall. It is the general opinion of Burt couii ty people , that the appraisement of the Omaha Indian lands ia entirely too higher [ or homo-seekers of average means. The the prices "raugo from four up to fourteen dollars per acre , the larger P portion of it being valued at from ten to fourteen dollars. The total number of acres is 30,157.17 ; aud the valuation en the whole amounts to § T)12C70.24. It is i at once soon that for a poor man it will Io bo next to impossible for him to buy land on this reservation. Ho can purchase tea a better advantage just outaido of the re serve. It has been predicted by many that there would bo n great rush when the land came into market , but as the facts become known this is found to bo a grand mistake. It is very evident that it will take some time after it is opened before all is turned over to settlers. The fact ia that the people who want land to lie on , have , as n general thing , very little money to purchase with ; and , as speculators cannot buy this land , it will have to wait until the monied men come along who happen to want land to make a homo on. Appraising the land so hgh ! will probably be a benefit to the country in ono way. It will bring in moro monied men and keep out the poorer and loss energetic class. " The Oregon short line has about com' ' pletud the tunnel through the divide nt the head of Ilam'a Fork in Wyoming. Tin's will give trains a straight pull from Ham's Fork to Cokomllo and dispense with the slow and laborious runs on the mountain grades.

Holders of claims and owners of town sites there are industriously spreading the most wonderful stories of the wealth of the region and every effort is being made to induce an immonco stampede in the spring. Despite ll the rosy reports it is reasonably certain that out of ovpry 1,000 rnon that will go there in the spring J)9 ! ) will return disgusted and broke. There is no "wash" in Pritchard gulch and if there is any gold there it will bo Tound only on bed-rock and will bo ob tainable only by the rich operators No poor man should go to the Coourd" Alones except to work for wages and prospect for quartz. The railroad may boom the mines , but that is no evidence of anything axcept that stampodcrs will bo expected to pay their faro. It will tike at least 0 months to toll whether there ii enough gold in the Coeur d'Alono placers to justify any sort of a stampede md in the meantime conservati\o and sensible men will or should stay whore they are. The Bozeman tunnel , the second great bore on the Northern Pacific in Montana , was completed and opened to traffic Jan uary 22. Work was first commenced on the tunnel February 11 , 1882 , so that nearly two years wore consumed in ita construction. The length is 3,010 feet and the height of the mountain over thereof roof of the tunnel is 230 foot. The tiighcst point on the entire road is. in the center ot this tunnel , 5,505 feet above sea level , or 17 foot higher than Mullan pass tunnel. The cost was about ono million dollars.

An Improved windmill has been patented in Austria by O. Wonzel. The ancient ver tical troen ol the mill is replaced by double horizontal crosses , between the beams of which the sails are spread. The inventor claims an increase of available power and easier manipulation of the sails for his mill. A German technical journal says that the signatures , letters , numbers , etc. , upon poi- celain voxels may be removed without injury to the glaziutr by protracted polishing with a piece ot pumice stone moistened with concentrated - tratod hydrochloric acid. The remov al is fa cilitated by previously exposing the signatures to the v apors of hydrochloric acid. A late improvement consists in tampering and btraijjhtening saw * at one operation. This is done by heating the saws to a proper de gree , anil then pressing them by a sudden and pov\erfnl stroke between two surfaces of cold iron a drop press beicg employed for the purpose. The u-e of this mechanism effects a very considerable economy in the manufac ture of the article. A common trouble in country blacksmith shops is the going oat of the fire while the smith ia doing workaway from it. This an noyance can bo prov cuteu by keeping at hand a box containing sawdust. When the fire seems to be out throw a handful of sandustun tha coals , and n good blaze will quickly follow. This may seem a small matter , but there are many who will find the suggestion a useful one. one.An officer of the British army has patented a waterproof match , specimens of which have ignited readily after having been wrapped in a damp r g for tw cnty-four hours. This is ac complished by coating the phosphorized end of the match with paralGne , which , vyhilo it pro tects from slow oxidation , being imperfectly impervious to water , does not in the uli htcst degree interfere with the ready Inflammability of the match. The Pharmaceutical Journal sa8 that in Canada honey is extracted from the comb by a centrifugal machine and the comb replaced ; the bees , when in good condition , will fill it again In four days.
