WTLMIirOTON. JSr, C. Wednesday ETENnre,' Dec; 30, 1885 EVENING EDITION. THE GOVERNMENT TBLEGBAPH The proposition now before the Congress to let the Government take control of' all the telegraphs in the United States is sure to be popular in the North where centralizing ideas prevail and where the Union of States is regarded as a Nation in the sense that Austria or France is a na- : tion, and in the South with that class who talk of abandoning all ideas of reserved rights of States, who are of the Col. Sellers school ' of politics- are strong for "the old flag and an appropriation'- and who ;are posii tively happy at the prospect of hav ing the Federal Government to use the rod in the public schools of the States because it proposes to pay the teachers for the most part. If those who oppose such evil and dangerous tendencies will only aban don the old Constitutional principles and restrictions and shout lustily with those who are blowing and bel lowing for Paternal Pedagogy and ' will abandon for all time the grand' -oia principles 01 jenrerson, jacuson, Calhoun and Black and accept ih- stead the theory of Hamilton and Marshall and Story in ten years there would be a consolidated Government that would be as strong as any limi- The Government telegraph system is only ; another stride in the direc- tiori of centralization. After secu- ring this additional patronage the next Rtep will be to control all of the railroad systems. With the schools, telegraph, railroads, 'postoffices, all subject to the control of the Govern ment, we shall then have the news papers next under Government - surveillance (and then a ".

Govern ment help for this and that are will ing to make the organic law a nullity a rope of sand an attenuated thread a mere finest strand of co coon silk then there can be no bul wark of defence, and no breakwater against the incoming tide of centrali zation. Oh, for. a grand leader of great intellect and npble motives' and ardent real for, the right some strong, simple man,, "Who never sold the truth to serve the hour, Nor palter'd with Eternal God for power." We are glad to see that the Boston Post, although favoring Paternal Pedagogy, does not favor the Gov ernment Telegraph. It does not, however, oppose it on the safe and sound ground of apposition to cen tralization, but beoause there are al ready enough public servants and the Government already has more busi ness enterprises than it ought to have. The Stas opposes all such aggressive schemes uon constitutional grounds and because they are destructive of the autonomy of States and tend to a Strong Government. Any measure that lessens local self-government and undertakes to do for the people what they can best do for themselves is usurpation, is antagonistic to the genius of republican institutions,and is in contravention of the theory and practice of the fathers. Alf ENLIGHTENED IRISHMAN'S - V. DEMAND. Justin McCarthy is one of the most gifted aad famous of living Irishmen.- His historical work "History of Our Own Times" is very clever, very entertaining, very graphic and has had a great success. He is a member of Parliament and one rf the ablest and best furnished of the Home Rulers. He favors the plan of giving home rule to his conn try as has been given already to twenty one others of the British de pendencies. He asks that Ireland snail have .legislative powers "pro portional to the powers given the American States under the Federal Constitution." This does not state the fact correctly. The Federal Go vernment is the creature of the States and has only sueh powers as were granted by the States, they retaining to themselves all - the powers not granted. Mr. ' McCarthy says that he would be willing to see Ireland ruled by its own Parliament, under a royal governor general. He asks for no army, navy, nor foreign pol icy; says that minority rights in Ire land would be as safe as in England, and that it was absurd to suppose that Mr. ParnelPs co-religionists would be the first to suffer by Irish liberty. On the important question of the right to levy a tariff on English- manufactured goods, he says frankly that he believed Ireland ought to have this right, but that he, as a free trader, should always op pose its application. He avers his belief that home rule would cause a sudden revival of activity in Ireland, and prove a blessing to the whole Union, cementing friendships and obliterating all unkind feelings: This may not appear extreme, and we would be glad to see Ireland in full possession of all that is asked. But is it probable that all of these powers will be granted? Will Eng land agree to clothe Ireland, .that is but three hours from its coast, with such great powers as shall enable it to create a tariff that may be inimi cal to the interest of England? The Irish Protestants, or many of them, are very much opposed to a Free Parliament for Ireland, believing that they will be oppressed and af flicted by its legislation. FRANCE AND ITS PRESIDENT. The very best" thing that could have happened to France under the circumstances is the re election of M Grevy as President for another term of seven years. His ability and I fuoaerauon - give something ot a guarrntee of perminenoy.to the pre sent form 'of government, which is really neither republican nor mon archical,; but-a 1 hybrid embracing some of ihe features of each. If he had been defeated it is not improb able thai very ; grave consequences would have followed as the Radicals in the Chamber of Deputies have a majority. Under this word are in cluded several extreme . factions opportunists, anarchists, etc." From. theTJaltimore &un we' clip, a para graph that throws some light on the situation. It says of the vote upon M. Brisson's management of. the Tonquin oampaign by T Which :tho Ministry came , very near suffering a defeat: "The radicals admit that they supported M. Bri8son last Thursday merely in order to save the government from falling into a minority on the . eve of a presidential elec tion, but announce that they will not sup port the new government. Tbeydonot,. they declare, wish' themselves to take office now, and if they did. and could muster enough moderate allies to form a majority, their programme of legislation is so extrav agant, not to say alarming, that the friends of republican government in Europe would have everything to fear from their success. It is not to be supposed that the monarch ists, whose strength was vastly augumented at the last elections, will fail to make the most of the quarrels and blunders of their opponents." , But the re election of President Grevy will tend to strengthen very much the Moderates as nothing sue-, ceeds so well as success. His Gov ernment will probably be stronger in the, confidence of the country than before the Tonquin affair. It was thought that M. Brisson, the Prime Minister, would resign, but our dis patches of the 29th convey the in telligence that the President will not accept his resignation as the Ministry, in the estimation of his allies, did not suffer a defeat in the vote on the Tonquin credit. FORTUNES IN TEXAS. Cattle raising -An Texas is im mensely profitable. Colossal fortunes have been made and in a few years. We see it mentioned that E. C. Scugg is put down for $1,250,000, and yet only a few years since he was a poor boy. Another "cow boy" is A. W. Pierce. He owns one pasture that is sixty-four miles in length. An aocount before us says: "Senator K C. Collins, who did not have a picayune when he arrived in Texas, is now worth $1,000,000. all of which was made in stock-raising. L. B. Harris, who was also a poor man when be went into the business of raising cattle, now owns one stock farm in Tom Green county embrac ing 65,000 acres. George W. West owns one pasture containing 125,000 acres, has over 20,000 head of cattle, and considers a check for $100,000 a mere mite out of his great fortune. H. EL Campbell is worth $2,000,000 in land and cattle. Maior Sayers, JoQn , N. Simpson and H. fl. Overall bavg each acquired more than a million dollars in the cattle industry. Ex Senator Lane, a native cow-boy, and C. C. Slaughter, count their wealth by hundreds of thousands, while Richard King has one tract of 650,000 acres of land, another of 40,000 acres, and many smaller tracts " There are hundreds of smaller stock-raisers who are successful. The life is hard, full of self-sacrifice, is some times attended with danger, but pays. The road to fortune in Texas thus far is in cattle raising. There is one North Carolinian who has a ranohe and is doing fairly well. He promises to be quite rich after a few years. He roughs it and is cut off from all desirable associations and civilizing influences. He has been in the cattle business for some six or eight years. He went from Gran ville county. That was a very impressive gath ering at Atlanta when three hundred correspondents of .the Constitution assembled as the guests of that pa per, their expenses being met by the proprietors. It is of course a splen did advertisement for the Constitu tion, but it is a sufficiently notewor thy event in Southern journalism to merit special mention. Who the fifty correspondents from North Car olina are does not appear. Georgia is far ahead of all Southern States. in offering a field for journalism. Its dailies would be a credit even to the rich, populous and thriving business centres in the North. The Savannah News an excellent daily publishes as much matter probably as any 'pa per in Philadelphia. The Press is the only paper that begins to print as much. It gives a great deal more than any paper in Baltimore, and more fhan several of the New York and Boston dailies. Then Atlanta, Augusta and Macon have large and prosperous papers, whilst the Even ng Times, of Savannah, is good enough for a morning paper in a thriving" city. .CURRENT COMUENT. People-who know Henry James are not surprised at the reve lation of empty mindedness made by "The. Bostonians.", Henry James has sentiments, but no emotions. He has probably been in love, after a fashion, some twenty or thirty times. These are not epochs in his. life, but merely spasms. He does not know the serious side of a woman. He never penetrates beneath the femi nine maski k He talks' with a von no- girl wirh the purpose of discovering' her intellectual vagaries, and when he has played upon her he thinks he has found the depths of her nature. Henry Jaraea cannot, write about a great love, because he Cannot ' con ceive it. He has heard: of it, and probably in the books of the great masters he has enjoyed the stories of love that : last through 'all the ages, just - as? all: of 5 us en joy them. But Henry Jamess knowledge of woman hood is gained from the artless prat tle of very young girls, nd he is en titled to the ' distinction of being most capable of inspiring the prattle. Ho w little he knows thefhuman na ture of which he has assayed to write may be judged from the re mark which he made to a clever and astonished .woman l a. year or two ago, to the effect that he was strange ly out of material. And this "was said by a man whose life has been spent in failing to understand the richness and variety of the material he has been unable to properly use. Boston PostyDem. Students ' of the currency problem should not forget that the amount of money needed for the uses of the United States has in creased fabulously within twenty five years. A quarter of a century ago a million aire was a rarity. No w a bank account of a million dollars is not . an uncommon . thing. Then the money of the masses . was lent to savings banks, and thence returned at once to the channels of trade. Chicago, for instance was a town of a hundred- thousand .inhabitants. Now it has nearly 700,000, with safety-deposit vaults sprinkled all through the business district, and new ones building. The, sums of currency lying dead in these vaults must be enormous. The Government itself has this miser's mania, and holds . two hundred and sixty mil lionsnearly the whole greenback issue ! The country has expanded into the Great American Desert of our new-world mythology. These new phenomena must be considered in commenting on our currency sup plies. When that have been done, it will be found there is a money fam ine. The Current. THE ARCHITECT OF RUIN. A Dlreet Hesult of the Protective Policy. N. Y. Star, Dem. We agree with the Tribune in wishing that our United States man ufacturers could get a large share of the money about to be spent by the Argentine Republic, but' we have no hope that our people will know any such good fortune. We have no trade with that republic because the polioy which the TribuneJs party has fastened upon our country does not permit it to trade. Trade is really the exchange c f the goods produced by one country for the goods pro duced by another country, and about all the part money plays in the trans action is to settle the balances. In this particular case but a small portion of all the money borrowed will ever be handled by the Argen tine people. The loan is to be made in London. Machinery and railroad supplies, instead of cash, will be shipped from England, while the in terest on the bonds and the principal will be paid, not in money, but by Argentine products shipped to Eng land. The wages of the laborers en gaged in the various improvements will be paid in cash, and this will be about all the money used. It is folly to talk of the United States competing with England so long as the Tribune and its party have sufficient power to resist the re moval of the tariff system which now prevents us from trading with the people of any other country. Throw down that stupid barrier and we shall have trade, and that will bring back our shipping. A protectionist paper should be ashamed to own that while from forty to sixty steamships arrive at Buenos Ayres every month, not one arrives there from this country, whose share of the enormous com merce of the River Platte is less than it was a century ago. This is the direct result of the pro tectionist policy. The Republican party is the architect of this ruin. WORTHLESS WORRY. Wilson Mirror. Some people gather all the briars and thorns and nettles for a hundred yards on each side of. their pathway, and pile them up in steep and mountainous-like heaps before their foot steps, only to make life's journey more difficult, more toilsome and more perplexing. And these same people will begin to jump and jump and jump before they get withip a hundred yards of a ditch, and ex pend and waste so much -needless ef fort and worry; and it is frequently the case after jumping so hard they find that the hedge line which indi cated the existence of a big, deep dangerous ditch was nothing more' than a little ravine, and that a single step would place them on the other side. So, reader, don't go out of your way to collect troubles, and for your own peace and comfort don't try to jump over a difficulty until it is right before you. SILVER. . Lynchburg Advance. The speech of Senator Beck the other day upon the 'silver question is very highly complimented by most of the press, and deservedly so, we have no doubt. He will also be c6m plimented and thanked by the great mass of the people of the country outside of the gold centres. . A Washington correspondent says that Senator -Beck "has given this all-important question the deepest study and - consideration, and will be re garded as one . of the "ablest and staunohest friends that the silver men will have in this Congress," and that the subject of silver promises to be one of tha leading questions be fore Congress this' winter. 1 .
