EVENING EDITION.
A DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM FOR
CONGRESS AXB 18 84.
The Northern papers of both par
ties are discussing the Presidential
ehances in 1884, platforms, and the
p-robable Speaker of the next House
of Representatives. As to the first,
it is too soon by at least a year to be
worrying oneself about it. A to the
Democratic platform for 1884, it is
well enough to consider that because
it is very important that the course of
the Democrats in the Federal Con
gress shall be shaped with direct re
ference thereto. Upon the wisdom
and judgment of th.e Democrats in
the Congress depend the success or
defeat of the Democrats in 1884.
The . New York Sun proposes the
followiag platform for the guidance
of tbe Congress:
"L A radical reduction in the expenses
of the government.
"II. Return every superfluous officehold
er to private usefulness.
"III. Abolition of the internal revenue
system.
"IV. Radical reform and simplification
of the tariff.
"V. No subsidies.; no jobbery : no steal
ing; no waste."
The Star. is willing to accept all but
the thirdx and it will advocate that
provided the first is acted upon faith
fully. The tariff can be reconstruct
ed, readjusted, reduced, reformed,
simplified, and then raise enough rev
enue for the expenses of the Govern
ment if there 13 really "a -radical re
duction in the expenses of the Gov
ernment." The Stak has again, and
again advocated and urged the Laaks
proposed save the thjixL It "has not
seen how the internal; revenues can
bo safely abolished without severe
retrenchment iu public expenditures.
t numbers I, II and IV are made to
go together we will join hands with
the Sun and all other papers in a
vigorous and unfaltering advocacy of
them.
But these excellent plants do not
embrace all that is necessary to com
plete the Democratic platform of re
trenchment, reform and progress.
The history of the Republican party
shows that there is a deep necessity
for the adoption of .other reforms if
good government is to prevail. Ex
Senator' McDonald, of Indiana, tele
graphs to the New York World
what he considers the true interests
of the party and what record they
should-inakfe by 1884. We copy
few of his principles:
"Taxes must be levied only for the sup
port of the Government.
"All expenditures authorized by Con
gress must be for National purposes and
for no other purposes, and economy must
be enforced in all departments of the Go
vernment. "Tke interference of the Federal Ad
ministration in State elections and State
affairs, so overwhelmingly rebuked in New'
York, must cease.
"As soon as possible all laws authorizine
Federal acUon beyond the limits of the Con
stitution must be repealed."
Now these planks are all impor
tant. Add them to the five of the
Swii and the Democrats will have a
platform of principles upon" which
they, can surely, with in 1884, In be
meantime let 'the Democrats -in the
Congressbe careful J not .to violate
any of these ptinciples,Jbat be very
careful to enforce them, and we can
not see why a sound Democrat shall
not sweep the country in 1884.
The Surfs platform will not do
alone, and it will not" do "unless the
first plank is enforced. The Charles
ton News and Courier takes the view
of the matter that the Star has of
ten presented. " It . say s :
"The Sun' 8 platform is really a Protec
tionist's platform in disguise, for the aboli
tion of the Internal Revenue system means
the continuance of a Protective Tariff.
Pennslyvania is ready to join with the
South, at any time, to abolish the Internal
Revenue duties on whiskey and tobacco in
order to secure, , thereby, the maintenance
of high duties on imports. It will be a
miserable error for the South to fall into
any such trap. There are ncother taxes that
can be imposed which are so- just, so pro
per, and so unobjectionable- as the taxes on
such luxuries as tobacco, and ' liquor. The
Democracy cannot affoad'to go before the
country as the advocates of free whiskey
and free tobacco, .and of dear clothing, dear
machinery, dear implements and tools and
dear necessaries geBrallyi "
Hence it is that the Star has in
sisted all alostg that the reduction of
the tariff to a basis of revenue, the
abolition of the internal revenue and
the etttting down severely of Gov
ernment expenses must go fiand iih
I hand, It will not begin to do to
abolish the internal system of taxa
tion the direct way unless the
indirect way of taxation the high
war tariff is radically razeed also.
It will not begin to do to rely exclu
sively on the tariff for moneys with
which to run the Government unless
ther is to be "a radical reduction in
the expenses of the Government."
They must work together or the
high protectionists will get the vic
tory. There is no reason why all Demo
crats shall not agree upon these three
principles as upon the others sug
gested. They are all needed, They
are all in the direction of honest go
vernment and sound political princi
ples. The Democratic party must
maintain old principles that are true
and just, but it must be progressive
also. It must be a reformer as. well
as a conservator.
HOW THE EAST FAILED.
If the Democrats had donc-Beir
duty on election day the entire Dem
ocratic ticket would have ben elect
ed. We shall not go into an analy
sis of the vote in extensc, but a
cursory examination of Eastern coun
ties leads us to the opinion that at.
least 10,000 Democrats in those
counties failed to vote. In North
ampton, Halifax and Edgecombe
alone the State ticket lost nearly or.
quite 2,000 votes. Many other coun
ties did, if not as badly, at leajt bad
enough. Duplin, Columbus and Ro
beson and other counties fell far be
hind their duty.
Is it not wonderful that East era
Democrats should fail to understand
and appreciate the magnitude of the
interests at stake in the campaign,
and should by their acts .say to. the
West we do not care about tike negro
question, whether we are bossed or
not by the inferior race. 2f;' only the
delinquents, the indifferent, were
to suffer we wonlfti not care.
If they elected that negroes should"
control county governments, and
such a choice would affect them only
injuriously, Wr would be glad at the
visitation, for by their blindness and
folly they brought it upon them
selves. But unfortunately by failing
'to vote against such a stupendous ca
lamity they afflict thousands of good
men and true who' did their duty
manfully.
In Northampton county six hun
dred Democrats failed to vote. They
had not been stirred up by speeche s
during the campaign, and they re
mained at home on the day of elee
tion. Very sorry Democrats are thajr
who care so little for the interests of
the State,and especially of their Bast-,
ern brethren who have suffered from
bad governmant, that they are nofc
willing to ride to the polls, and de
posit their ballots. '
In Forsyth the Democrat, gained
over 400, and in other Western coun
ties they gained considerably. It ap
pears that many SCeatern counties
did not heed the false cry of the Re
venue Ringsters. for a .return to the
infamous Canby-bayonet system of
county government. They aided
Eastern counties where the Demo
crats f aihsdi to aid themselves. The
Eastern counties are largely . respon
sible fo, the small majorities of the i
State ticket, . That is to say, -if a half
doze or more of said counties had
given the full vote, the State ticket
would have been elected by at least
4,000 more . votes than it received.
We shall consider some of the gen
eral causes of the small, majorities
given when the complete returns are
in. We merely wish now to empha
:
size the fact that many Eastern coun
ties were very derelict, and thaj there
was b&t littlej organization through
butthffiate, f
i SuDDOse there was a Kadical Re"?i
turning-Board at Raleigh just at this
juncture, would there be the slight
est doubt of Dockery's election ? . It
would be safe for, any Liberal tb put'
up .his "little pile", on the "Pee-Dee
wagoner" being jelectednd, if neces
sary, "by a large majority." As it is,
there being a Democratic Returning
Board, all parties are in doubt.
We are really. Very glad to see the
announcement that the epidemic of
yellow fever at Pensacola has ended.
The people of that place and the Rio
.Grande towns have had a fearful
time of it for some four months, and
thousands have been sick from the
fever and hundreds have died.
A duel at fifty feet would not be
considered very dangerous by those
riot engaged, but the Mexican Doctor
was killed at that distance.
BOOK NOTES,
Andrew Jackson as a m Public Man. By
"William Graham Sumner, of Yale College.
This is one of the series of American States
men now publishing' by Houghton; Mifflin
fc Co., and edited by John T. Morse, Jr.
It is a very poor biography but is full of
political facts. It has a certain value be
cause of tbe fulness with which the United
States Bank and other questions are treated.
Jackson is a rather sorry character accord
ing to Prof. Sumner a. most bull-headed,
weak.and dangerous man. We object to
Northern writers not in sympathy with
their subjects undertaking to treat leading
Southrons. The three biographies of the
series we have read impressed us .as-strong
political documents mainly in the interest
of the Republican party. The biographies
of Hamilton and Calhoun were vigorous
pleas for-a stroDg government. A good
political biography must be written by one
who has sympathy with . the character
treated.

The Adventures of a Virginian. By Oli
ver Thurston. E. Claxton & Co.. Phila
delphia, publishers. It is said to "have
merit, but we have not had time to read it.
Longfellow's Calendar for 1883. A very
beautiful and tasteful calendar. It has a
fine portrait of tbe dead poet who is such a
favorite in this country and in England.
There are selections from his writings for

CURRENT COMMENT.
To-day the Democratic party
:is the party of grand opportunities
To achieve two years hence tbe great
est victory in its history it will be ne
cessary only to keep the spirit of gen
nine Democracy well to the front,and
the few blatant fools who so often
misrepresent Democracy far in the
rear. Little Rock (Ark.) Gazette,
Dem.
The Democratic party must
address itself to a reduction of the in
ternal taxes, or a repeal of the sys
tem; to a revision of the tariff; to
the preparation of some simple plan
f:for the improvement of the civil ser
vice; to the furtherance of some mti-
L mate and friendly -relations with the
-countries of North and South Amen
-ca. It must far as Congress
r. lias a right to deal with the subject,
; that a free ballot and a fair count
?;are had in every State. It must in
i -crease the efficiency of the Postofiice
Department, purify the Department
of Justice, and either reduce tbe ex
penses of the Navy Department or
improve the T$aj.rletersburg( T'a.)

L
BEST BAKING POWDER.
Interesting Teste ITIade by the jovern
ment Chemist.
Dr. Edward G. Love, the present Analy
tical Chemist for the Government, has re
cently made some interesting experiments
as to the comparative value of baking
powders. Dr. Love's tests were made to
determine what brands are tbe most. eco
nomical to use, and as their capacity lies in
their leavening power, tests were directed
solelyto ascertain the Available gas of each
powder. Dr. Love's report" gives tbe fol
lowing: .
Name of the Strength
Baking Powders. Cubic Inches Gas
per each ounce of Powder.
"Royal" (cream tartar powder) 127.4
"Patapsco" (alum powder) 125.2
"Rumford's (phosphate) fresh 122.5
'Rumf ord's" (phosphate) old 32.7
"Hanfords None Such," fresh. ... .121.6

"Cleveland's" (short weight J oz ). .110.8
"Sea Foam" 107.9
"Czar" 100 .8
"Dr. Price's" 102.6
'Snow Flake" (Groff's, St. Paul). . . 101.88
"Lewis V Condensed. ............. 98.2
"Congress" yeast 97.5
"C. E. Andrews & Co. 's" (contains
alum) , 78.17
"Becker's" : : 92.5
"Gillets" 84.2
"Bulk" 80.5
' In his report, the Government Chemist
says :
"I regard all alum powders as very un
wholesome Phosphate and Tartaric Acid
powders liberate their gas too freely in pro:
cess of baking, or under varying climatic
changes suffer deterioration."
Dr. H. A. Mott, the former Government
Chemist, after a careful and elaborate ex
amination of the various Baking Powders
of commerce, reported to the Government
in favor of the lioyal brand.
Mr. Hewlett, formerly of the
Louisville Courier-Journal, has been ap
pointed to succeed Mr. De Graw on the
