Theend of the fight against the income ta.v is the end of the legitimate light against the tariff bill, and unless there is tome Republican trickery the bill will pass the Senate and be in the hands o?the conference committee In fore the close of this week. Such Republican Senators as Aldrich, Sherman and Teller, will do uolhinu; to prevent a vote being reached, the legi timate debate being over, but there is a gang of gueril las on the Republican side if the Senate (men like"little Billy" Chandler, of N. 11..) which may attempt to filii buster against a vote, not with any' expectation of de bating the tall nut just be cause of their "pure cussed nesH.'- Public interests, re cognizing the early passage of the bill, is now centered upon the changes that will be made in it by the confer ence committee. That there will be a number of changes is regarded as certain, and it i fair to piesume that they will all learn towards the original Wilson bill as it was oassed bv the House, al- though probably in few, if any, instances going all the way. The sugar schedule is regarded as- Due of .he cer tain changes to be made, but it will ha rub go as far as free sugar, because of th' opinion that koiiic revenue must be raised from sugar.

Vice- President Stevenson certified the cases of Messrs llavemeyerand Senile, of the sugar trus, to the United States District Attorney and presentment to the Jrand Jury, on Saturday, in ac cordance with the majority report of the investigating committee. The general, opinion i s that Senators dray and Lindsay, the Dem ocratic members of the com- mitttii?, took the correct view when they stated in a minor ity report that the commit tee had no authority tocom pel Huvemeyer and Staile to tell how much money they had contributed to state or ganizations, they having slated that they had made no contributions to the Na tional organizations. It was merely to gain ti little par tisan capital that thf two Republican members of the committee joined Senator Allen in ordering that Ilave me.ver and Searle be certified to the District Attornej as recalcitrant witnesses, the committee is now working upon its repot t of the entire investigation, but it cannot be postively bo stuttd when it will be rendj .

I'tirour part we are in favor of put ting none hut Democrats on guard and sttindinj bolt up lighr befo'e the people. It is a mistake to Mppe it i ucccs.-iary to concede up to the point -f capit illation. It is ct mistake to suppose thai all tl.e country people have turned Populists and th.it the only way to command their support tor the Demo era tic party is to convert it into a Populist party. 'Un people of the Slate are Demo era tic yet and nothing is to be made tjff them by yielding up any of 1 he immemorial prine;;i -s or practices of the party, but inm-h is to be lost by weakening in the presence of any ene:.y which is noisy out of all proportion to its numbers. The North Caro lina Democracy went too far two years ago in its policy of conciliation for it own self respect, and gained nothing in return. Every Demand knew that Governor Hoi was, in all fairness, entitled to the nomination, yet he was put aside for a gentle man who had humiliated Senator Vance with Alliance "deinauds" and had exalted the Omaha platform above the Democratic platform. With what result? The peo ple who had already resolv ed to vote against the Demo cratic party voted against it and Mr. Carr received no more vote? than Mr. Holt would have received. A plat form framed to suit not the Democrats but tlie Populists was read to the convention and 00 odd Populists hold ing seats in it under the guise of Democrats straight way got up and walked out. If thatcon veution had adopt ed tiie Don In platform the Populists would have turned their backs upon it unless it had gone und nominated Populists for all the State offices. lf the convention of the 8th of August should adopt the Omaha platform, the party could not, thereby, command the support of the Populists. Why? iiecause the people who are conduct ing this now crusade have nn eve to offices rather than to principles, asevidenccd by Hi facility with which they whip around from one set of prin ciples to another, There is nothing to be made by yield ing to them unless every thing is yielded and that lone there will be nothing worth fighting for. We recognize the differ ences in the Democrat ic pa r ty and it will be not only judi cious but right for Demo crats of opposing views to seek by compromise and con cession to allay these differ ences among themselves, but there should be no surren der to outside influences, no compromise of Democratic principles, no ' nominations of men who will continue to j call tbem'e,vcs Dem'"-i ' the hope of D'!ii 'crate' i- Ilcl 't is held Ollt t ; t!:"ll, bill who ill be P ip.-'istH t.ili. .- wis-.

Morgantou Herald: We are always glad when we find that the outside world shows my appreciation ol Noith Carolina genius. We are practicularly pleased to note that Mr. Edward. W. l?ok, the scholarly editor of the 'Ladiesiloine .Journal," has seen a copy of "T'.ie Balsam (Jroves of the Grandfather," by Shep-'i-d M. Dugger, of Banner Elk, Watauga coun ty, and that he has been so completely carried away with the book that he devotes a whole page of fhe "Journal" to a review of the story and to the reproduction of choice bits of the vigorous u n d breezy English with which it abounds. Mr. uok says there is nothing like it in lit- eiMture, and -Mr. uoic is right. The settlement of the tariff (pietsion means bread to thousands who are to-day in need of it through the broad expanse of this great coun try. T h e indecii-i u which has attended legislation on this matter in recent years and the conflicting opinion in regard to the subject ar; largely responsible lor the de pressed state of our indus tries and commerce. Parties may come and go, and will continue doing so as long as constitutional govern men t in its highest condition of de velopment exists; but a tariff based upon laws which will prevent great fluct uat ion and yield snfficicnt revenue for the purposes of government should be framed anil put in to operation at the earliest possible moment. There is no reason whatever why such phenomenally h a r d times should exist in this country for there are, appar ently, almost limitless sums of money seeking investment ot reasonable rates of inter est, and there are resources here sufficient to use up ten times the amount of capital available. The thing urgent lv needed to restore confi dence and prosperity to all classes is the passage of a tariff measure, fair and just to all. and operative for as long a term without interfer ence with its tundamental principles as it is possible to make it.

A direct vote fairly given and ount ed would show, v may not doubt, a whit" majority of 3.000,000 in favor of nn in come tax. In the South a man opposing is very solitary and must ktep his own com pany. There has been not one really sound argument that will hold water wben subjected to a proper test to show why so just, equal and desirable a tax should not he levied. Of ad taxes it is the most equitable and just. Europt has tried it with best results. Several State's in the American Union are try ing it. Why shall not the rich pay on what thy have got as well as the poor man shall pay on his poverty? Messenger. lias Not Tlaycd the iVrty False on Silver. Senator Butler, of South Carolina, in his Rock Hill speech, said the pending tar iff bill is not at all as he would like but is, neverthe less, the b-.jBt tariff act ever parsed. A. free sin er bill has not iiassi d an-j, In fcaul, ho -. . . 11 11 tesired it never would wn.ie Mr. Cleveland is President. "Although the people knew Mr. Cleveland was opposed to silver," said Senator But- er, "the people voted for him." That is a point that needs to be dwelt upon, for whatever else may be the matter with fhe President we must insist that uobody has a right to charge him with bad faith upon this coinage question. It he had considered the coinage plank of the platform to be u de claration in favor of fiec sil ver coinage on the existing ratio, he would have repu diated it or declined the nomination. If the State of New York had so construed it, it would have given Har rison n majority of 100,000, and Connecticut and New Jersey would likewise have gone for .him overwhelming ly. Senator But.ier says he differs with Mr. Cleveland about many matters but is not going to abuse him. Therein he h right, and with the President's record and utterances, the party plat form and all the facts in the matter carefullr and impart ially weighed, no fair-minded Democi'atcan afford to abuse him or say he has played the party false upon the silver issue.
