S UPR EM EvOURTD EC I SI ON 8 j Raleigh News-Observer. I j Williams vs. MoNair, administra tor of A. S. McKay. . j I In 1855 A. S. McKay became a surety od the bond given by Hodges, guardian of the plaintiffs. He died in 1865, and therd was do adminis trator appointed on bis estate until 1879. The plaintiffs became of age before July, .1868, exoept Caroline, who became of age in 1871. j There ban never been a settlement with the guardian, who is still living, nor (did 1 the ! plaintiffs call on him j within three years after attaining maturity for a settlement in pursuance of Ac tion 4, chapter 65, Revised ,Cpde. The present suit was, instituted by , plaintiffs on behalf of themselves and all other creditors to subject the lands of said McKay to the payment of debts. . : .! ' .! j i Held, That the liability of the surety is to make good any loss to the infants resulting from the mis management of thd trust estate, , and Hounds in damages. Until these damages are ascertained they do not constitute a debt, nor until "then is ' the infant a creditor, entitled to maintain an tction to subject real estate to the payment of debts. , Before such a remedy can bej open to the infants, there must be an action on the bond, brought in 'the name; of the State, and the damages assessed by a jury or otherwise ascertained. Held, That under the law in force when all the plaintiffs except Caro line became of age they j were re quired to have a settlement with the guardian on arriving at full age, and. either sue for what was due or notify the sureties of the true situation. The failure to have such a settlement ib solves the sureties, whether dead without administrator, or living. Click vs. Western ' North Carolina Railroad. ., .

Y.) Palladium. "Reduce the taxes" is the battle cry of the Democracy under the lead - of their President. " Reduce the taxes' is the response of the masses, who are burdened by a tariff which compels 60,000,000 of people to bay tribute to 60;000. President Cleve land has sounded the keynote of next year's campaign. His way to pre- .vent tbe accumulation or hundreds of millions in the Treasury vaults! is to leave the money with the people to tax them not one dollar more than is necessary to pat the- ex penses of the Government honestly and economically administered.

BLAINE'S PLATFORM. N. Y. Times, Ind. Rep. To the problem of the redaction of the unjustifiable and dangerous sur plus Mr. Blaine, assuming ther posi tion of leader of the RepnbKoan Par ty, has two definite propositions to submit one the unconditional and immediate repeal of the whole of the tobacco tax, the other the temporary use of the whiskey tax for fortifica tions and ultimately its collection for distribution among the States. That is the Republican policy so far as, it has received any authoritative ex planation. It is for this that Mr. Blaine asks the people to elect him President and to! give him a majori ty in Cod 2r ess. I All other phases of the oomplex question are completely ignored. Of the many inequalities olared to exist in the tariff he takes no notioe whatever. . Of the swollen monopolies that; have been obliged to organize '1 trusts " to crush competition in I the markets given over to them, by the tariff he has not a word to. say. Of the importation of pauper labore rs"f rom the protec tion countries of Europe by monop olies built up here by the tariff he makes no comment. Of the gross injustice done to minor industries that are wholly unprotected j by the tariff, but have to use the products of the favored industries, he main tains complete silence. His policy is to keep sacred and untouohed all the wrongs, all the arbitrary discrim ination of the tariff f or iti Vealthy favorites, and get! rid of the surplus in small part by a repeal of the to bacco tax, and in the main (by di viding the whiskey tax among the States. ... ' ii- 'j' : j The leader of the Republican par ty is fifty years behind the time. To him tbe crude and wasteful and de moralizing polioyj of the distribution of 1836 is the guide for statesmen of this great Republic in the closing years of the century. A SURPLUsToF TARIFF. N. Y. World, Ind. Dem. A surplus is that which exists in excess of needs. The Government had last year a surplus revenue o $113,000,000. It will have this year a surplus of $140,- 000,000. This revenue is produced by a tar- iff. A tariff is a tax, lhe surplus revepue is therefore produced by a. surplus tariff, or a tbe Government tariff in i needs. excess or To stop the surplus revenue we must abolish the surplus taxes. But there is also an excess of tariff beyond what is needed for protec tion to American industries. The average rate on dutiable imports un der the tariff of 1816 ' 20 - seventy years ago, when the infant in dustries were young was 30 per cent. Under the tariff of 1824, distinctly protective, it was 37 cent. Henry ClayJ one of the fathers ofs Protection scaled this ' tariff down; by the gradual : operations of the Act of 1832, to 20 per cent. For proposing very much less' than this President Cleveland is to-day de nounced as a VFree-Trader" by tbe untaught disciples of Henry Clay. The war tariff of 1863 averaged but 32.62 per-cent. The increased and prolonged war tariff last year averaged 47 per cent, lhirtv per I cent, of this is unnecessary either for - revenue or protection. Surplus protection therefore pro duces surplus revenue. There must be no tarm for surplus t and no sur plus of tariff. I HI -v-H .; ) Backbone In Politics. . 1 New York Evening Post, Rep.

Dec. 17 The convention' of the American Federation of Labor this morning took up its consideration of the report of the Committee on Resolutions.: Many unimportant matters were acted upon and business was disposed of as rapid ly as possible A, resolution, introduced by Block, a delegate from the Bakers' Union, denouncing actions of the police in various cities in interfering with meetings, and the tendency of the authorities in some sections to curtail the constitutional rights of the people and insisting that tbe spirit of anarchy as displayed by the authorities shouid be condemned by working people, was the subject of prolonged debate. It was vigorously opposed by a few conser vative delegates, but was finally passed af ter the words "unlawful -oppression" had been substituted for "anarchy." A reso lution was adopted advising working men to guard more carefully their constitu tional rights, and to foster the spirit of in-, dependent political action. Another urged the extension of the educational system and the necessity of having tbe science of gov ernment added to the list of subjects taught, in public schools The Blair Educational bill was endorsed. A protest against re duction of the internal revenue tax ou tobacco was approved, as was also the pro test ageinst the proposed extradition treaty with Ru&siA. "Efforts being made to estab lish an international system of arbitration as a substitute for war was approved in the resolution . -The coercion policy of England towards Ireland was condemned, and sympathy expressed with Ireland in her struggles , for emancipation. The thanks of the Convention were extended xo members of the press, the mayor of Balti more, and the local reception committee. An effort was made to have the Conven tion pass a resolution protesting against any reduction in the tariff on raw materials, but it was not successful The Chicago printers' difficulty with their employers was deplored, and a resolution was passed 8utuining them in the stand they have taken. ; The eight hour bill, now under consideration by Congress, was warmly endorsed, and after the adoption of a few miuor measures the Convention adjourned sine die. HEPUBLICAN VI. UBS To-Dai's ProceeaioES Jsmes P. Foe . ter, or New York, Elected President or National Leaeue by Acclamation. ,is Telegraph to the Morning Star.! New Yobk, Dec. 17. It was not until 11 15 that Chairman Evarts called the Con vention of Republican Clubs to order. The election of delegations from each State for Vice-President and a member of tbe Executive Committee were then an nounced. When Gen. Nathan Goff arose to make nominations for West Virginia, long and continued applause greeted him. Trouble arosa over the selection for Ala bama There waa only one representative from that State; he was Samuel R. Lawree, a colored delegate. He would not take the responsibility of nominating these men. Mr. Evarts then ruled that any State not feeling ready to make its nominations could wait until action had been taken in the State referred to. Nominations for President of the Na tional League then followed, when a num ber of names were presented, but there being a decided disposition that the Presi dency should remain in New York, loud cries of question were called, when W. E. Gardner, of Wisconsin, moved the election of Mr. Foster by acclamation. It was car ried, and by a tumultuous cry of "aye' and not a single "nay," James P. Foster, of New York, was declared elected Presi dent of the National League. CURBED T COMMENT The Democratic way is not designed to interfere with anybody V employment or wages. The Presi dent Bays: "Tbe reduction of taxa tion sbcuid be ho measured as not to necessitate or justify either the loss of employment by the workingman, or the lessening of bis wages." And agaiuj "Profits tit-ill remaining to the manufacturer, after a necessary readjustment, should furnish no ex ' ciie for the sacrifice of the interests of his employee, either .in their opportunity t wvrk or in the dimin ution of their compensation.1' There is no doubt that the reductions can and will be so managed that the laboring masses of the country will gain much more than they can kite by t in- change.
