( Special TcloKi'iim to tlio HER. ] In conversation with your cor- rpspomlunt to-day , Hon. Thomas It , Hoed , of Maine , Hiilil ! "I have no dcslro lo express . any opinion nt to the proposition on legisla tion thl * winter In rcxuid to the surplus. 1'robnbly I can BCO very tittle farther Into tlic millstone than you ran. It would bo n fjood tiling , however , If tlio people of the Uhltrd States could neothc rent dinieultlcs that mo to bo met. Ifnur.il uiiilorttandliiK of the situation could be luid It would go far to Irisuro reasonable treatment of con- preaslonal action. Kvnr.vbotly agreei that n BUrplus of not far from 4.11)0,00(1,000 ) ( Is uimn us and ought to bo reduced. Hut when It nomosto the question of lioxv to do It , the trouble begins. At the very outset the party condition ! * uro very htr.inpc and ominous. The rcs | > onslbllty ! is , rtf course , on the patty in power. The democrats have at least ten majority , and perhaps fif teen , Hut they arc divided be tween democrats Inclined to free trade and democratH Inclined to protection , the free traders bohitf In a large majority. In caucus , Mr. Carlisle will bo nominated. If elected ho will appoint a committee on w.iy.s and fiioans from his wing of the party , which will net precisely as his other ways and means committees have done ; that Is to say , pro duce a bill which has only a minority hack of It , a hill which cannot pass. On the other hand , the majority of the house which could pats a bill , not having the committee of ways and meaim , can not produce n hill. This Is a parliamentary dif- llculty arising out of the division In the demo cratic party. "Hut there arc intrinsic difficulties besides. The first man I meet says : 'Keducc the suj'ar duty. ' That loolis very simple. Hut in IbSU that was tried andtho wholodemocmticparty voted apnlnst it.Vhyi The oxcu.su was that it was u revenue duty. The reason was that Louisiana WHS a democratic state. There nro also many protectionists who would vote to . retain the full sugar duty from u sincere belief Justified by recent discoveries that wo are on the verge of producing from Horgum and other souices all the sugar the country can consume. You will remember that the administration In mote than one treasury utterance has demanded the reten- ffir tlon of the sugar duty. r "Tho next scheme Is to reduce protective duties. Hut would that reduce the surplus ] What makes up u customs revenue ? The amount of articles Imported multiplied by the duty. If you reduce the "duty you reduce the multiplier , whivh would bo all right if you did not In crease the multiplicand. Hut when you re duce ' the duty you necessarily Increase the amount Imported. Indeed that must be your very object. Why reduce duties if you don't want more foreign goods ! Hut we are not left to conjettuio as to results. A Binalt example will make this plain. Uy an interpretation of the law of 1&53 worsted goods duties have been re duced. With what result ! Why , the reve nue has doubled. If wo do the same with Dther articles wo shall have more .surplus rather than less. What effect such changes tvould have on the business of the country just at this moment I leave business men to : onjecturo and to decide. Another i reposi tion is to take the reduction from llio internal revenue. There Is a rcry wide agreement * as to the tobacco tax and if the speaker would allow a promsition | to take that fc'Hl.OOlMHK ) off it Would easily pass. Hut ho probably Intends to use it as a weapon to attack protection Under the guise of reduction of the surplus. 1'ho whole internal revenue tax. is about HOO.000,000. "When you como to the question of reduc tion of the ruvonuo by taking oil the whisky tux , ono man thinks that It has the advantage f abolishing many offices , leaving the trade of Iho country undisturbed , and Miss Willard representing the Woman's Christian Temper- unco union , believes that it will release the government from u participation in the pro- Ills of a manufacture which no government ought to countenance. On the other hand , that tax Is defended as one easily collected hid | much tulk is made about leaving off the tax.on liquor and putting it in clothes. Tlio nianufactuniiH also of whisky desire the tax continued , because it enables those of large 'capital to absorb the business. Tlio ex pedient of creating n free list with coal , wool , suit , lumber , Iroii , ere and fish thereon is , of iourse , only Hacking protection in detail. You can see by this slight enumeration what thodifllc-ultle.s are. If there was a sincijra jingle desire to reduce the surplus , which is ivhnt the country really wants , there would ho but little Uifnvulty , but so many men want to use the reduction of the surplus , which everybody agrees to , as n lover to do something which only u free trade minority wants to do , that the people of tlw country nro llablo to bo deceived unless thc > j kooiVthoir eyes on the main question , wlitcli is the reduction of the surplus without dis. turbaneo of the industry of the country.

Misses Flora E. Lane and Evvio Nichols ar rived hi Omaha yesterday from Harrc , Vt. They were met at the transfer depot In Coun cil HluiTft by Mr. Clayton A. Clark and Henry Knight , of Ogalullu , Neb. Then the quar tette came to Omaha and the young Indies were taken to the Puxton where they wer immediately deserted by the gentlemen who made a bco line lor the t-ounty court where licenses to wed were issued to them , At high noon the four were married by llov. W. J. Harsha at his residence. There is quite a pretty little romance con nected with this double wedding. Hoth of the grooms are from the Green Mountain state and are now prominent young business men of Ogalulhi , to which city they came about eight years ago. In the sumo village where their childhood days were spent there lived the two young ladies who are now : iidr- ried to them. They were ml very young when the L'oyo struck out west to make their I jortuues , but through ull their struggles the memory of their childish sweethearts has been kept fresh and green. Dame fortune dealt kindly with tlio two boys and the loiters between them and their Hweothcaits were full of love nnd conslaney. So ut lust when the boys had gained fame and forluno they urged an immediate marriage , but tlio "old folks at homo" objected. Finally the importunities of the two lovers won the day and the girls , even as Uuth did , allowed that they would follow their lovers. So their love for the gallant youths of Ogalulla was stronger Ihan parental power , and resulted in the long journey and happy culmination , Storm calendar and weather fore casts for 1888 , by Rov.
