BEBNABD. WILMINGTON, C. ?: i TrjESDAT Evbsing, Makch 31, 1885. EVENING EDITION. A NBWFABTT OF PROTECTION. - - . The" High : Protectionists in the are organizing not only for The Mornin .--;?-3LL;-,V,'" f;atr active campaigD, but for a new party. " They have fought so long T r' v tinder the Republican flag and have vbjeeiaf so successful that it may sur WiVf ise inany that they should under Hrtake the formation of a broader .;.i:";-party.-" But when it is borne in mind ; 7 4 ' vtbat there is a very respectable por- . tion of that party that is dissatified I ' . with Protection as an economic the-0M-p oTY &n& h ready to co-operate with 'Jf ' .. ; Reformers in the Democratic party lsi-to readjust, reduce and simplify the f5$iuWar Tariff, it will be seen that the , ' . ' Prbtecti onists , can --- no longer rely vupon the Republican party for suc cess. Furthermore, the Democratic party contains an element that favors ;TotecUon, and that would vote J v against their party upon a single 7 " ."; issue of a Tariff for Protection with 'iacidental revenue and a Tariff for ;;Revenue with incidental protection. Hence the new movement. It is in the hope of attracting to it as .f many . or more Democrats in the South as they have lost Republicans - 4n the -North. ButJ can a new party based on ' . Protection succeed in this country? y-That depends upon two things: the thoroughness of the discussion and f. the intelligence of the American !; voters. . If the people are properly instructed they will not indorse any :H party or support any theory as ,un- stf (fairas "-unjust as oppressive and as -'itrimoral Protection. i?ht'the American people -.under stand; well the actual principles' of a y.. rrotective policy, and ; they are too fair-minded and just 'to ever make it ;the American poliey.

' itS the right of all free men -to buy where they canbuy cheapest andjsell where they can sell highest; : .; That the Tariff is repressive rather than otherwise and destructive rather than really protective; ' - ' That taxation should belevied,un der the Constitution solely for the maintenance of the political fabric, the National Government. v, :' These are some of the simple' can ons, that are true and when under stood will be accepted by "an over whelming majority of the electors of the United States. f i Of the new party the New York Times says: i The latest new party is to be the party of protection;' it has its cradle in the city whence the Declaration of Independence was sent out, and its initial organization is known as the 'Union Leasue of America.' That body, which has had a career lasting many years, though not many of our read ers may not be aware of it, met yesterday morning at the Continental Hotel in Phila delphia, and its Secretary announced the object of the meeting to be 'to ta&e a decided stand for protection in " its fullest sense.' . 'Hitherto,' he declared, 'the League, while professing to be committed to the doctrine of protection has given its attention simply in behalf of the Republi can nartv.' Now the League is going to cut loss from any such narrow plan of ope-4 rations. 'All are now welcomed, no mauer of what peculiar political faith; for the party ox protection is to De maae up irom all parties.' This sounds formidable, and, we should say, it must fall on the ears of the Republicans of the old school with much harshness." BEECHEB IN THE SOUTH. It would have been well for Henry Ward Beecher if he had confined his lecturing tour to the Northern States. This remark is not made with refer ence to dollars but to character. He will coin the "dollars of our daddies" but he will be subjected to such a scrutiny as he bas not be accustomed to . His intellectual power is confess edly very great. He is possibly the most gifted mnn in America. But this said, nearly all is said. He is a man not to be followed or trusted in the discussion of great' moral and re ligious questions. He has got so far away from what the best and purest people in the land hold as orthodox Christianity that to follow him is to follow a theological will-o'-the-wisp that will land you in the quagmire of scepticism if not in the slough of des pond. He is not in his teachings quite as bad as Bob Ingersoll is, bat he is as to his moral character what the ig norant man said of his physical con- ditioU7-"he enjoys bad health." When Beeener was in Richmond, Va., he got the ablest editors in Vir ginia after him with a very hot po ker. Rev. Dr. Laf?erty,in the Rich oond Christian Advocate, applied an iron that was so warm it fairly "sissed,". whilst Dr. James Southall, in the Central Presbyterian, applied a more delicate corrective in the shape of a .cayenne pepper poultice. W make room for the following from the Jresbylerian: "Mr. Beecher has a bad face; and as be stood there denouncing the churches and all that Christians have been taught to revere, looking to gather applause from the element that was hostile to the churches. we felt that it was one of the most repul sive exhibitions that we had ever witness ed. Mr. Ingersoll hoists the death's head and toe cross-bones of the pirate: Mr. Beecher sails under the Christian flag, and speaks to the people in priestly robes. In the fierce and blasphemous assault on the churches and the evangelical theology there ib very inue uiiierence oetween me two men. : However jast and pointed the criti cism may be the South will still go to hear him for even Ingersoll can attract in his disgusting and blas phemous assaults upon the Bible and upon millions of intelligent people who cling to it as the only hope and refuge and consolation. If there was no other reason for - believing in future retribution the fact that such a fellow as Ingersoll lives and, blas phemes is argument and reason enough. THE CLASSICS Iff GERMANY. That teaching is - far more thor ough in the great schools of Europe .than in this country is beyond ques tion. The results are. seen in the accomplishments of the statesmen, teachers and men of letters. A highly educated Englishman or Ger man will quote the ancient classics - with appropriateness, felicity and readiness. We knew an Irish Baro net,, Sir Patrick Edgar, who could almost quote the whole of Vergil. We knew an Englishman an Oxford graduate, who was so familiar with Ovid that he Could quote the odes at will He told me that : he learned them at one of the great schools, Winchester or Harrow or Rugby or some other. : Prof. John K. Lord, of Dart mouth College, has been or is at Heidelberg, Germany. He has been looking in upon the gymnasium, the .preparatory school for the Univer sity, and it is interesting to know his impressions.; The ' German , gym nasium is something more than an American' preparatory school. In fact Its course is so wide that it em braces' at least the' two lower classes in snch institutions 'as the University of North Carolina.,--t It will - be iseen in what follow? that the pupils-in a 1 German gymnasium' are greater pro ficients' than4ur college bpys.VHere is an account, in pare, or. me moae ox instruction in -Latin, tays; - JEroM Lord, and, w& wish we had, room for more 'of bis letter than we are able to" give;,'.-.-:;,... "I attended recently an exercise, of the upper class; it. was arecitatiod in the satires of Horace. The exercise began 'with 'the terftation-oT'apasaigr satires,' one boy repeating - yews4inea and another immediately following.," no nesi tatiou was allowed. . At a .momenl's.delay another was called. After this the teacher began to ask questions and ' make remarks in Latin upon some passage or suMect al ready Btudied. .First one and thett another were called to answer in uerman. J?ew failed to understand what was ' eaid.'. This practice, begun as arly in 1 the coarse ' as practicable, trains the ear as the book trains the eye, so that the , students, when they leave the gymnasium, though they may not be able to talk in Latin, yet understand it when it is spoken. A Latin sentence ia more to them than a luggler's abracadabra. This exercise is supplemented in Latin com position. HVbat is true of Latin is true of Greek. After the talking came reading of passages at sight. , The teacher first pro nounced the Latin and then the scholars translated. In most of the cases thpy u un derstood the passaee. About fifteen min utes, at the close of the hour, was devote d to the recitation of a lesson previously as 8iged.M Is not teaching in this 'country a long way below that standard? k UradstreeCs, a very able weekly commercial paper published in NeW York, a week or two since showed the decline in wages since 1882. It had 250 reports from sixty cities, and they showed that the decline in wages as compared with the decline in food and clothing was of but little importance. The New York Sun says of the report: ! "In fact, all -the industries, outside of coal mines, iron and steel works and cotton and woollen factories, are now really pay ing higher wages, when measured in staple commodities, than they ever did before."

His sister, Mrs. Stowe, wrote the stirring, volume of the century, V Uncle Tom s Cabip," and made a crusade on the South in evitable. It is worth marking down that the leaders of the North, fore most in turning loose the dogs of war on the South, were enemies of the received religion or a scandal to its precepts. Theodore Paiker, of Boston, denounced Jesns Christ as a bastard. Horace Greeley, the Unbe liever and the semi-communist, and Beecher, unstable in all things except his lust for Southern slaughter, are other, specimens These restless spirits must ever be burrowing and gnawing at the roots of whatever nourishes in beauty and fruitage iu human society.
