The Senate of the United States is now brought face to face with a square Democratic issue on the tariff question.

The Demooratio representatives in the lower house have met the necessities of the aitnation. framed a bill to reduce the revenue, and passed it after weeks i Abate. It goes to the root of the nrmant fiseal policy and inaugurates a reform in tariff taxation, and is supplemented bv- a redaction of trie internal Tttm of taxation on tobacco. The Mills bill has fairly presented the atti tude of the Demooratio party on this moat important Question, and the Ko- Dublican majority in the Senate have now te formulate a counter proposition to define their policy. If the Mills bill is brought before the Senate in the usual way it can.

and undoubtedly will, be defeated. But mere negative action in the present con dition of the government will not avaiL The treasury is overflowing with the fruits of taxation, and the income is over one hundred millions of dollars per annum in excess of the require ments for mblio services under an economical administration. Hence the defeat of a bill designed to reduce the revenues without proposing a more judicious one would be suicidal. It therefore remains for the Repub lican majority to formulate a new tariff measure of their own to be offered as substitute for the House bilL Upon the political issue thus made the two parties will contest for supremacy in the future. And the issue thus presented is neces sarily a practical one, which eannot be clouded by theoretical discussions.

It is not free trade against protection. It is not "a tariff for revenue only," or a "horizontal reduction" scheme that the people are called to consider. It is so much per cent reduction of the duty on sugar, and so much less tax on metals it is so many dollars taken off the aggregate revenues collected at the cus tom-house, and leaves a definite aggre gate ad valorem tax on imported articles; it is a step towards a lower tariff, The Republicans haye but one way to meet it, and that is by proposing a practical bill out ting off half or all the duties on sugar, and reducing the inter nal tax on whisky. The former strikes at a Southern industry and is consid ered, therefore, a good thing, though classified in the protection list, to throw overboard in a political storm. The latter cannot be considered as relieving the bodens Do poople to any extent, and has no popular oroe as a campaign issue.

THIS COLOMBIAN TAD. We are informed that a meeting of merchants and other citizens of enterprise and means has been called for Wednesday, 25th at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, for the purpose of discussing and acting npoa the encouragement and perpetuation of our trade with the ports of Colon, Carthagena, Barranquilla, etc We presume that inasmuch as there haa already been considerable discis sion that there will, at this meeting, be taken some action with a view to sustaining the efforts which have already been made and' which have demon strated that steamers can be employed in this trade profitably in themselves and benefioially to the city. In these days of commercial rivalry and consequent hustle, it behooves our people to protect and foster those ve hicles of commerce which prove them selves beneficial to our interests. This the Colombia Steamship Company has certainly done. There is no need, perhaps, to show that folly 75 per cent ol south American requirements are Western produce and provisions, cotton goods, hardware and furniture, and that New Orleans can easily compete with any American seaport for their distribution this has been shown time and again.

All that is required to secure this great trade is regular and frequent transportation, and this is a very easy matter if the New Orleans and Colombia Steamship Company is sustained. Although of but recent establishment this enterprise has resulted profitably, but for the purpose of securing a substantial footing and providing additional facilities requires substantial assistance, which will, we trust, be forthcoming. New Orleans eannot afford to let such opportunities pass. A exeat deal of credit is due the gentlemen who have undertaken this enterprise and their efforts should be sustained. "Don't give up the ship It is the pioneer and the opening wedge te a large and profitable trade.

Sustain and add another to.it so that full cargoes shall go out to these new fields twioe as often as at present. The gentlemen who are pushing this enterprise have facts and figures to present to our business men to show what has been done on a small outlay and what can be done with more funds. CHUECHE8 AXD THUKDf BBOLTS. On Sunday Mr. Moody's church at Chicago was struck by lightning and much damaged.

Fortunately, very few persons were in the building, and nobody was seriously hurt. Some persons who take pleasure in caviling at religions matters will be disposed to rail against the celestial economy which permits the bolts of heaven to destroy structures devoted to divine worship. Such persons and all others would do well to remember that lightning and all other physical forces operate by laws which have no connection whatever with matters of morals or religion. Persons and things which happen to be in the path of lightning strokes are quite likely to be affected more or less seriously without regsrd to- the depravity or the virtuous piety of the person, or the religious or secular purposes for which the articles are used. In this connection it may be well to say something about lightning rods, against whieu there has been an effort te raise a hue and cry.

Without doubt. the theory of the lightning rod for the protection is correct. Like all theories. however, it often fails in practice because of insufficient provision for the work to be done or because of faulty construction. If there is one law of electricity which has been established, i it is tnat tne nam, or whatever it may Be called, invariably follows the bea line of conduction.

If, then, a buildin be supplied with a properly construe iit rwif wmcn is a gooa conanctor, ad snouia tne rea be touched by ligh the bolt would undoubtedly followthe rod and the building would escaped it is possible, however, that lighting- t. t. 1 from the rod. The remedy, theuf. is to have rods enough.

It has aug- gested that the best way wool be to cover a eoiiaing with a net jrk of wires connecting with damp ear Lightning exerts two danger a8 and destructive forces. One of thgM ia its power to disrupt and disperse the oth er operates by generating heat often sufficient te produce combustion in many bodies and to melt metals. A re cent writer on tbe subject says "In an iron cell or banker's vault the inmates would be safe from lightning. In bird esge or in armor you are moderate ly safe. I should not care to try ar mor myself; the joints might get unpleasantly hot and explosive.

And even the bird ease, if struck by a big enough flash, might get melted. A melted patch on one's protective armor would be extremely disagreeable. Some times one is teld to get thoroughly wet through instead of seeking shelter in a thunder storm but it is a question whether a stroke is more unpleasant than rheum atio fever. However, sufficiently stout and elosely-meahed cage or netting all over a house will undoubtedly make all inside perfectly safe. Only, if that is all the defense.

you must not step outside, or touch the netting while outside, for fear of shock. It would be unpleasant, when yon reaohed home out of a storm, to find it so. highly charged as to knock you down directly you tried to go in. An earth connection is necessary as well. A wire netting all over the house, a good earth connection to it at several points, aqd a plentiful supply of that barbed wire which serves so abomina bly well for fences stuck all over the roof, and you have an admirable system of defense." Returning to Mr.

Moody's church, it may be taken for granted that it was not properly protected, or else.it would not have been the victim of a lightning stroke. Churches, with their lofty steeples and towers, are usually liable to be the victims of lightning. To expect that the laws of nature should be suspended in order to protect churches is highly unreasonable, if not in direct defiance of divine law. It is wise as well as pious to respect all rightly authoritative laws. QCEEKS OF lSPflKKB OUE HEM- Mrs.

Carmen Romero Rubio Diaz, wife of Presdent Diaz of Mexico, has just celebrated her birthday, and was made tbe reetpient of many, compliments. This lovely and charming lady is vicing with tbe lovely and charming woman in the White House at Washington to prove that the uncrowned queens of the Western Hemisphere are the most adorable women in the world, as they are. The Mexico Two Republics says of Mrs. Diaz "Mrs. Diaz has labored unreservedly in a new field in Mexico a field which if it had been given into the hands of a lady less popular than she would have been barren of results.

For over two years Mrs. Diaz has labored to ameliorate the condition of the poorer class of her sex. She has established various institutions for the employ- meat of poor women and girls and has popularized work which until she be came its protecting patroness was looked upon as unbecoming and contrary to established customs. Under her patronage tbese institutions have become flourishing and afford respectable employment to hundreds of her sex. She is ever studying some new scheme for the advancement of the poorer classes and her name will be a future household word associated with benev olence and kindness." Suoh women as Mrs.

Cleveland and Mrs. Diaz are not dignified by being the wives of Presidents, On the contrary, they add honor and eclat to their distinguished husbands. They have their own proper places in the popular heart. TflK EKPOKT ON TUB ClYlL SERVICE. President Cleveland has just trans mitted a report on the civil service as it has so far been reorganized under the laws providing therefor.

He shows that the operations of the law, although they have been gradual and not of a nature to accomplish their ends by any swift and sudden processes, have been fairly beneficial and have justified the care and attention they have received. The law can only accomplish progressive results, bringing abou a gradnal substitution of the new system of official appointment for the old. Any sudden and immediate change would have produced a shock to the organism of the public service which-would have been injurious. If civil service reform has not been all that was expected of it there is no reason to think that when its methods are improved and amended where defects are manifest, it will not produce xoellent results. Of course no mental qualifications can properly be allowed to take the place of moral qualities.

Any system of competitive examina tion which only regards intellectual attainments will not give the best em ployes. It is sometimes the oase that the quickest, oleverest fellows at books and figures are morally the greatest rascals. TH CC3CEKT BALOOff LAW. In another column will be found an explanation of the apparently anomalous fact that the last Legislature. wnile persistently refusing to Banotion the repeal or modification of the Sun day law whenever presented, had, yet under tbe guise of regulating concert saloons, virtually annulled that hen it is considered that trau cert saloons are not such estagijxQeQ as to deserve any unduax cncoarjkEy ment, but.

on the eontrasy; generally regarded as subject (q extra police surveillance, and to be depressed rather than nursed, it wonjj be remarkable indeed if, while cloiDr nD other more reputable places business, these should be given special exemption. But such favorii8m was not extended by the Legislsfare in fact, and the law as promulgate was not an expression of the lesrtalttive will. Either the bill as enrolled ind sent to the Governor did not contain the amendment' adopted by both biases, or the official journal has not printed the act correctly. In either eVent it can scarcely be a law as it appeared. If there has been any shactoraotieein attempting to secure flDetial favors for these establishments Vwill scarcely avail, since the errors Save been shown.

THE CAMPAIGN OUTRAGE MILLi The Republicans of the Senate committee which has been engaged in pre paring' campaign documents on the bloody shirt basis under pretense of investigating election outrages in Mississippi and Texas, have brought in a majority report. As a majority of the committee was made up of Republicans it was to be expected that the report would be entirely one-sided and partisan, and so it proved to be. It attacks the Southern people on the old line of sectional hate, which is really the main issue upon which the next presidential' campaign is to be fought, The people of the North, like some of tne people of the Southern States, are divided upon the tariff question and that cannot be made a general party The Republican party is and was from its inception a sectional party and it has no principles or policy that is net sectional. As a consequence it is necessary te put the Southern out rage mill in operation, and that will be kept grinding until after thepresiden tial election. We are to have a great deal of this sort of thing before tbe commencement of Mr.

Cleveland's next term. -V v. Death of P. K. Brulatour.

Much interest having been manifested in tbe work of cleaning out the canals. letter from Secretary vMtA' President Ginder, relating to what work has been and what will be done, is furnished to the public MW AUXILIARY SAKITABT ASSOCIATION. New Orleans. Jnly 23. 1888.

Henry Ginder. President pro k- Orleans Auxiliary 8anitary AMaoeiation oir xu quiry to the progress or xi tz and. ox ia wot, ox Toulouse te the flushing com miteeTl bavo toTeport that during the Souths of May ana! June force employed by the association removed the accumulations of rubbish, comprising barrels, bath "bs, mattresses and every kind of household utensil, which had been for years dnmped into the canals it the aamo time the city authorities caused the removal of gas and water nines, bridge timbers and railroad piles. The removal of these obstructions made room for a steady flow of water, and caused the muddy surface of Gal--ve canal to scour out 12 to 24 inches deep, thereby incieasing the capacity and service bo much that the streets have been promptly -relieved from heavy rainfalls. Yoor committee has constructed and holds in readiness for immediate use a scouring boat with the intention of operating it in cleaning and deepening Galrez canal, so as to direct the sewage and rain water to the Bienville draining station with a prompt and rapid flow through the Toulouse canal, which is only 4503 feet in length.

1 Tbe present route of discharge into the Poydras canal distributes the foul sewage through 22,727 feet of wide sluggish canals, in which the movement is so slow that the sediment is deposited therein and the water of a rainfall at the river front requires three Hours to find its intricate route to -the draining station. By the Toulouse canal route the time will be reduced to one hour and tbe flow will be so rapid that the wheels will lift double -or treble the present service in a given time, thereby removing tbe danger of overflow and preventing the deposit of sediment in the canals. The scouring boat will be Diacoa in service tbe moment the contractors for work on the Carondelet navigation canal are done with, and remove the dams whioh they have constructed in the Toulouse canal for their own pur- noses. Your committee hopes to be able to renew the work intrusted to it within this month. Respectfully.
