BrjmMAja. h. Bernard. WILMINGTON, IT. C. WEDNESDAY EVENINQ, OCT. 14,1885 EVENING EDITION. : PRACTICAL VERSUS SENMHEN - TAIi. We copy to-day a short article on the taxing of whiskey, tobacco, &c. It ll froin the Philadelphia Record, one of the best Democratic papers in America, and one of the ablest oppo nents of a High Tariff, as well as one of the strongest advocates of gen uine Reform. The English states- men are far too wise to insist upon v ; the burdening of the laboring classes i-v with a heavy tax on their common necessaries of life whilst allowing the vices to go untaxed. We do not be ; "V lieve there is a solitary authority on political science, living or dead, who " argues for no tax on the most con spicuous luxuries whilst favoring a tax on the commodities of life. If - there be such authority it has escaped us and we would be" glad to see his Views published. It is perfectly consistent for the Monopolist and Protectionist to, take .: the ground that it is highly sound, judicious, scientific, necessary, im " portant and sensible to wipe out the -internal taxi He knows exactly on ,which 6ide of his bread the butter ;lie&,.He knows precisely his own interests and how to subserve them. - He is, therefore, dead against such 5. an infamous (?) tax: as that levied oninnocent whiskey and innocuous tobacco and cleanly snuff. He knows - if he can get rid of this tax that : - his wares are safe and the Democratic Reform Hyda will be put in his little bed to -snooze on through the ages ; while the, poor men of the country V are writing and delving and sweat- ing ' to pay the bounties from year' to ; year necessary to grease the ma chinery and fill the coffers of the said Monopolist and Manufacturer. - ; -The Stab has no quarrel with those, .whether Democrats or Republicans, who prefer to tax clothing and medi cine and crockery and hardware and I food rather than to tax whiskey and cigars and tobacco and snuff and beer and .wines. . -We have only to say that their ideas of political economy and fAe proper things to tax are not our' ideas and can never be our ideas. ' ; ..The first thing suggested by the .'Jort? is;3ust what the IStae has urged a dozen times that to wipe h out; the $135,000,000 5tai obtained from whiskey, &c, will bankrupt the1 iUnitedlStateairreasury It would create a deficit and this would have to be met in some way. j How ? By. continuing the tax''on the common , necessaries of life. . This , is certain. i. But more. than this : it would proba bly compel the Congress to put a tax : on coffee and' tea arid perhaps qui nine even, to get the needed amount to meet the expenses of the Govern- f:', ment. ---.i-:' -; ' -" Of all the sentimental politicians in the world he is the most sentimen tal who in- a , -f reerouhiryi cari insist that it is Jjthjgova(theopU ttx&t xuGj;snpuid be taxed in their bu ; aper la Monday, at 57 00 per year, j w y LSKrsT t t 00 for three months, fiorjwu JV 'Eemlttanoes must be made by Cheok, Draft, roet&l Money Order, Express, or to Beglstered Letter.

He will not gam independence for Ire land, bufrhe w'Hjobtainr inr the end home rule which ! is ; really, we m3y believe, the . objective end sought. Local self-government is ' what Mr. Parnell is striking for. With a Par: liament of its own Ireland could be gin a career of prosperity and happi ness such as it has not known. T. he legislative independence of Ireland is what the; Homo Rulers are deter mined to secure if it be possible. The" recent speech of Mr. Parnell clearly enough reveals his purpose. The Home Rulers , will move on to higher fields of achievement. They demand more in 1885 than they would have been glad to have com promised upon in 1883. Parnell and his followers "have gained by delay. Now no small concessions will meet their demands or silence them. This is Very plain now to the Eng lish of all parties. The Tories and the Liberals alike see this and they; know that the union Of Ireland and England is certain to be repealed, if not now, not long hence. , What are the chances of the Home Rulers for immediate success suc cess within a twelvemonth? It is1 believed that Parnell will lead not less than eighty members, possibly ninety, iri the coming British Parlia ment. This increase of followers gives him great power. It places him on the vantage ground that will enable him to dictate his own terms to a very great extent. Nothing could thwart his aim but a combina tion of Tories and Liberals, which is not to be expected.. You cannot easily unite two warring parties whose aims are so antagonistic and whose traditions and principles are so much opposed to each other. Mr. Parnell is a Protestant. He is a well poised, courageous, and de termined leader with a great deal of self-reliance and is necessarily pos sessed of a good deal of ability. He will at least be able to hold the bal ance of power in the next Parliament and if Ireland does not obtain great er concessions than were deemed pos sible a few months ago we shall be disappointed. He will certainly be able to checkmate either party and if Ireland does not reap great benefits then the sowing of abundant seed is futile. The Boston Post takes this cheerful view: "Mr. Parnell will hold a masterly posi tion. He will be able to obstruct legisla tion, to harass ministers, to demand bids from the two English parties, to make his terms with cabinets, and to make and un make prime ministers. It is true that Lib erals and Tories may combine, now and then, against him. But opportunities are certain to occur, in which an astute leader like Mr. Parnell will be able to throw his force on this side or that with telling effect. The prospect in short, of the not distant tri umph of: the cause of Irish home rule, is brighter than ever it was before. Mr. Par Dell has led his countrymen to the verge of the promised land. 'He has done more to advance their aspirations, to cive formida-r ble proportions to their agitation, than any Irish leader who ever lived. His zeal, his steadfastness, bis remarkable political abil ity, may be trusted to make the most of his position " OLD FOLK. Our good friend Rev. T. B. Reeks has a brief reply to what- the Stab said about the old man in Bladen who ived to be 123 years old. The Rock ingham Rocket says none of the old people living knows of any such man. As to Rev. Mr. Perkins's article, the Stab promptly replied to it, hut the Raleigh Advocate took good care not to let any of its readers know what we had to say. Mr. Perkins's instances are as aDocrvDhal aa Mr. t .- j i - ReekaVl23 years old man of Bladen in the past. There is not sl well au thenticated instance of any such age. The celebrated Wandering Jew, who appeared in the I7thcentury,claimed to have lived for more. than sixteen hundred years' and to have had some hand in the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ. He was visited bv the scholars of his time, and he con versed readily in any language of earth, and he was so - thoroughly posted as to the men who had lived through, all the sixteen centuries, and knew every event so perfectly as if tne result of being a personal wit ness of it that he was never tripped in the smallest degree. He was a much more remarkable' man than either the supposed Bladen old man or Mr. Perkins'scsupposed cases. But all knew he was a fraud. , I The only point we are concerned about is to find one of these extreme ly pld.peona with a f rtdpeyohd impeaenmenu it Mr. Keeks of Mr; Perkins could scare up a man from 123 to 15a years old; and could sat isfy intelligent men that he was be yond a doubts as-old as was claimed ?WHU aKe a great fortune in a year provided the old fellow survived that long. There are one thousand people" in Wilmington alon'eVwb'o would give $1 to see a veritable, man or woman -whose age was 123 or more. " The points we urged in our reply to Mr. Perkins ought to . be conclusive until they are successfully. assailed. For .forty jearsjwejiaye been . seeing, persons, and hearing ,oi , "''" - - - . - ' -v , ,i persons wnor were over iuu-yuara old, and still" we are very certain re have never seen one wno kwas a centenarian in fact.' . in o statement without a record will ,;. stand, th e.test of the rnles of evidence that govern courts.1 -....w .''.',.;' i THE SOLICITOR GENERAL.! Some - of the papers, some Dem ocratic, are sharply criticising Mri Goode, the Solicitor General, for the readiness with which ho instituted proceedings against the Bell Tele phone Company in the absence of Attorney General Garland. Mr, Gar land had absolutely refused to bring the suit when solicited to do so and he supposed that with his refusal the matter , would end. After , he had left Wasnington Mr. Goode was in terviewed, ' and five days after brought the suit. He did this with out having given the subject special study, and, it is charged, that ; he acted with precipitation and without due examination. It is a question in dispute as to the legality of the United States ta sue in" order to test the validity of a patent: The Presi dent and Cabinet have reviewed the action of the Solicitor General, Mr. Goode, of Vi rginia, and the . result was a letter from the President to him that was in the nature of a cour teous but decided rebuke. Such is the estimate plaeed upon it by such a sound Democratic paper as the Boston Post. It is moved to say, in view of the facts and the discussion growing out of them, as follows: "We think it was deserved and tbe Solicitor General has made haste to heed it by directing the district attorney of the western district of Tennessee to discontinue the suit which he had previously .ordered him to institute. The brief history of this transaction ought to be a valuable lesson for the enlightenment of public servants. The evident purpose of the administration is to advance public business in the best way and promote justice in all its dealings with the people of tbe country. The Solici tor General lost sight of this point, which is so clearly and constantly before the ad ministration." Literary Life, of Chicago, takes a correct view of Mr. Cable's vagaries and political whims. There is ex ceeding method, however, in his mad ness. He knows well how to cater for the appetites of his Northern ad mirers and how to gather in their shekels in exchange for his satires npon and misrepresentations of the people among whom he dwelt so long. Literary Life says ho is 'the self-constituted champion of what he terms the civil rights of the colored people," and it adds, that "there are strong social reasons why the South should object to such civil rights be ing flaunted in their faces at every turn." CURRENT COMMENT. - The Boston Herald says the Republican party has not done any thing for the negro since it bestowed upon him the gift of the ballot as a means of perpetuating itself in power, and the Chicago Times charges that outrages have been in many instances ordered to be committed or provoked by Republican ofhcials in the South for the purpose of firing the North ern heart and influencing pending elections. Thus does truth about the "Southern Question" srraduallv come out in the North and West. Mobile Register, Dem. The whole educational ques tion appears to be resolved into this formation: Flam, simple instruction in the elementary principles. No cramming. No fancy studies. Short lessons, well prepared. If any genius be developed, seeking higher me thods and wider culture, he will, with the .weapons provided, make his way. But it is folly to overdo instruction with, the average mind, whioh, like some Virginia land, described by John Randolph, .is "poor by nature and ruined by cultivation.' Augus ta Constitutionalist, Dem. ; : The reader of Thackeray, as of Shakespeare, feels himself taken out of himself, not plunged into the narrowest recesses of his own 'con sciousness; he feels himself in anoth er world than the sordid and work-a-day one; he turns the pages with a sense of intellectual . exaltation, and knows that .be is" the. -better, for thereadingr not the wearier and the - worse for it.

Treasury without-means to carry on' the government, unless the deficit isi supplied by ' "raising Jrriore; revenue irom customs on lower rates or duty. For these reasons there is no party ) in the country in favor of 'repealing! the internal taxes. The protection ists would oppose ..suoa a . measure now, and the f riendffof tariff reform; will oppose it now and in the future. As a matter of fiscal legislation there is no better or-more satisfacto ry source of revenue than the. volun tary taxes paid on the consumption of whiskey and tobacco. Apart from the question of revenue there are multitudes of voters who believe that the cheapening of whiskey for drink is riot in accordance with sound pub lic policy, and theso will decide the question against repeal every time. Cheap clothing, blankets, carpets, coal, salt and other necessaries are of far more consequence, to. the family than cheap whiskey. GREECE AND SERV1A. New York Times. It becomes daily more clear that the disturbing elements in the Balkan problem are Greece and Serviav It might be comparatively easy to bring about an amicable arrangement be tween the Porte and Bulgaria, but the subjects of King George and King Milan object to any recognition of Bulgarian union ; which does not also include territorial benefits for them. The selfishness of this position is evident on reflecting that the struggle of Bulgaria and East ern Roumelia for race union and greater freedom is akin to their own successful risings to emancipate their lands from Turkish control. Yet they arc both now in arms to prevent this resnlt, and raise their , voices for a restoration of the treaty of Berlin, which is precisely also what Turkey wants. It is true that this treaty may in one sense be said to de fine and guarantee their own rights, and that therefore their interests may seem involved in maintaining its in tegrity. But the special infraction of it caused by the Roumelian revo lution in no way affects their boun daries or their institutions while the hollowhcss of their professions of de votion to that compact is shown by their entire readiness to accept Bul garian union" if they also can profit' thereby. It seems little short of frenzy for Servia and Greece to" undertake not only to fight Turkey and Bulgaria combined, as they would have to do in case the Sultan should submit to the union under Prince Alexander, but to risk in addition? the hostility of all the great powers. From the outset, however, they have-rushed headlong for war. Servia is like a vast camp. OUR STATE CONTEMPORARIES. The truth of this whole matter is juBt about this: The Board of Agriculture has existed for nine years. Its revenues for tbe nine years have amounted to $284,000, averaging some f 30,000 a year. "With that sum, paid by the fertilizer makers, . in fact as well as in theory, all the expenditures of the Board have been paid; a .valuable real property, now owned by the State, has been bought and paid for, and each depart ment under the Board's . control equipped with the latest and best scientific apparatus for conducting the people's business; a valuable exhibit was made of the State's re sources and products at Atlanta,, a more valuable one at Boston, another in this city and another at New Orleans, costing, say, $40,000. During the present year the coal deposits of the State have: been examined, and their value determined, and the marl and phosphate beds -of . .the .Eastern coun ties have been explored. From the reports of these surveys, soon- to go before the public, great good ought and it Is thought will result to the people of the State. In short, the Register thinks that the Board of Agriculture has been the most efficient as it has been the cheapest of all the agencies employed by the Democratic party; for ,the wonderful material development of the State during the past nine years.

ARTS OF THE WORtli f ? CJRDINAZ ja'CLQSKY. Faneral Stervlcea of tbe Dead Prelate Sermon of ., . , x ArcbbUbop Gibbous of v Telegraph to the Morntag Star.l , , HBWlToKKOoWl5I-The-sermon at the funeral c of 'Cardinal McClosky, this morning, was i preached -by Archbishop Gibbons, of Baltimore. The text of the sermon was Exodus, 4:5. f; x, . "These words, spoken '.' originally ; of Aaron," said the speaker,'"may be fittingly applied to the 'great - high' -'priest, ' whose mortal remains . now- lie before ryouv i He also was chosen out JOf all" men living to till the highest ecclesiastical position in the Nation; that he might. teach Jacob his testi monies and. iive;Jight.; to Israel in law; The glorious ornaments of the; pontiff; to which the sacred text referred. ' had a two fold signiflcitloh.'" They symbolized in the ey es of the ' people c his .spiritual dignity and authority; to the; pontiff himself they lepresented innocent ornaments of ." virtue, with which he should be adorned, without which; the .most precious ornaments lose their lustre. These scarlet robes - of the Cardinal remind you of the exalted dignity to which he, was raised. .' They reminded himself of the garment of innocence worn' by hia Divine Master and ; crimsoned with; his precious blood, and that he should be' ready,, if necessary, to lay down his life for the faith. The . Cardinal's death has brought sorrow to the universal church, as, well as to the church of America and New York. It has filled with erief the great heart of the Sovereign Pontiff and the Col-! lege of Cardinal, I which he was an il lustrious member and a distinguished orna ment. It has fallen heavily upon you, ven erable brethren of the clergy,' and the sad ness depicted on 'your countenances is ex pressive of the griet which fills your hearts. Nor was this grief confined to those who were of the household of the faith. It ex tended to all classes and creeds of the com munity. The great' heart of New York had mourned him as well, because this empire-city lamented the death of ' oue of its moat illustrious and honored citizens. Neither wealth nor Eower, nor rank , could command such eartfelt and universal respect as has been spontaneously paid to th.e remains of - your revered prelate. He had won the hearts of the people. The Christian prelate was al ways a man of mark, the centre of obser vation to the eyes of the world. To tbe eye of faith, a bishop is exalted above the angels, because he exercised powers not given to the angels. A bishop is the am bassador of God, appointed to vindicate his honor and proclaim his name along the nations of the earth." If it is esteemed a great privilege for a citizen to represent this great Republic in the Courts of Eu rope, bow much greater is the prerogative to represent the Court of Heaven among the nations of the world. "The life of the Cardinal has never been written, and never can be, and this is true of every Catholic prelate of America. A biographer might recount the good work and deeds he had done, but-he can know nothing of his private and inner life, which is 'hidden with Christ in God.' That was manifest to God's recording angel only. People came to him with their cares and troubles, and for counsel in doubt, and for spiritual and even temporal assistance, Were a bishop's real life, in its outward and inward fullness; published, it would be more interesting than a novel. If this were true of the humblest prelate in the land, with how much greater force may it be applied to one occupying the eminent position of your beloved Cardinal. The Archbishop then briefly sketched the Cardinal's life, and touched upon a few salient features in his long and eventful ca reer. In conclusion the sneaker said: "But one crowning honor was reserved for your beloved Archbishop as a reward of conspicuous merit and lifelong services in tne cause or ttod. Our late Holy Jfather. Pope Pius, in a consistory held in 1875, was E leased to create him Cardinal of the Holy loman Catholic Church. This was an honor unheard of the in Western World, and rarely ll ever was such a dignity conferred with stronger marks of public approbation. not only in this great city and State of New lore, out tnrougnout the length and breadth of the land. The news of vonr Archbishop's elevation was hailed with the greatest manifestation of joy and satisfac tion. I shall not attempt to enumerate the institutions or religion, chanty and learn ing which have sprung up in this populous diocese, during the Cardinal's administra tion of twenty one years. We may form some estimate of the developments of Catho licity, when we consider that the number of churches has increased during that period from seventy to one hundred and Beventy, and the number of clergy from one hundred and fifty to four hundred. Your venerated Cardinal has left yon at his death two great monuments of his zeal and two great lega cies of his love. This Catholic 'Protectory and this noble Cathedral, the grandest in the United States, will stand as lasting monuments of his zeal for religion and humanity. He has left you two precious legacies of his, love. First, the legacy of a pure, and unsullied life as Priest, Bishop, Archbishop and Cardinal. He never tarnished the . surplice of the Priest, nor the rochet i of the ' Bishop, nor the pallium -of the Archbishop, nor the scarlet robes of the Cardinal. - Af ter spending upwards of half a century in tbe exercise of the ministry; he goes down to his honored grave without a stars upon his moral character. , He leaves you an other precious legacy hi the person of his gifted successor, -r The dying Cardinal laid his hands in benediction en his successor, and that benediction of ' the - expiring pa triarch, will be a fruitful to the son of his adoption and heir of his priestly throne, as was Jacob's blessing to Joseph. And if he could speak from this bier he would say to you all, .'as you loved and served and ob liged me, so you will love, serve and obey him. I regard as done for me what you do for him.' I will; live for you in him, and thus your father who was 4ost is iound ; having been dead he is come to life again. "Oh.beloved pontiff, may thy soul be. this day in Paradise. ..We cherish thy memory; and even in years to come, .when thy life shall be viewed through the mellowing at mosphere of time, ' thy memory, like the memory of Josia's, will be of a composition of sweet odor made by- the art of the per f timer. Thv memorv shall hi IVoet as honey in every mouth and as delicious mu sic a a oanquet.
