Tnere will not be mnch compromise we suppose. The wiping oat of the Republican aMiiioLS to the Democratic H6ase bill is now in order. Some compro mise woald be admissible upon the principle that a half loaf is better than no bread. If you cannot get your bill as an entirety through, but can get many of its features adopted by lopping off and adding to it, then it may be judicious to accept this sort of compromise, but always with a certainty of gain along the lines you had marked out. A surrender of principle is at no time to be thought of. If your purpose is to ' reduce a burden and you cannot get all you seek, then take what you oan get, provided you make no compro mise of prinoiple and are moving towards the goal of your desires. This is statesmanship such as the ablest men have pursued. The Senate (Republican) bill is a huge monstrosity. It is wrong in principle and oppressive in its chief features. It is founded upon the vicious principle that it is right to tax the very many for the very few. It acts upon the assumption that it is a political heresy to argue that a free citizen of a free Republic has a right to sell in the highest markets and buy in the lowest markets. It is conceived surely and purely in the interests of Nabobs and Monopolists. It out Carnegie's Carnegie in the ap plication of high rates of taxation to imported articles. It creates an ab solute prohibition, and with design, in many of the articles in the sched ule. It increases the tax very greatly on some important articles of com merce while actually and absurdly putting on the free list oertain ar ticles of luxury such as pearls and perfumery. To compromise here would be a surrender of principle which is never to be thought of. Democrats must stand by Tariff Re form or surrender to the aggressive element in the party of Monopoly. To do this is to cut away the main supports of the platform and to place the party before the country with no issue but opposition to the Republicans and a desire for office. 1 The financial question is the great question of the country. Extremists and partisans in the North are try ing to make' the race question the main issue, but the country is too great and the interests too vast to .divide parties on such an issue. The Democrats in the Congress cannot accept the Senate bill with out self-stultification. The New York Times says: "The criociDle on which the Hons mii Is oaairaeUd is so radically dif arent f rem that on which the Senate bill is construct ed that it is practically bopeleu to under take to make a bill by the application ot either principle that will or cao be accept ed by the advocates or the other. The com mittee of Ways and lleana of . the Bow undertook to reduce the burden, nttf protec tite rates aa far as could te done itbttt serious injury to protected industries.- -Toe. Senate Finance Committee, on me on hand, trier! tn Inrronan anedal Drotective rates to the ntmoal extent that they thought . . .... ... T f VA.i-i'T puonc opinion would toieraie. Z J ing bills differed as widely as the methods of constructing them. ' The real; "aincereV" plucky " Demo-? crats in the Bouse will . remain true. to the formulated principles of their party. A faction may go on seed ing the abolition of ' all or a part of the needed internal tax and with the aid of the Republicans may succeed, but it will be a step in the wrong di rection as the Stab has often shown in its arguments in favor of a tax upon the luxuries. . Some of our highly esteemed con temporaries fsvor the total abolition of the internal tax and insist that the revenues under the Tariff will be in creased if the tax on whiskey, cigars, etc, is abandoned, because it would force a redaction of the Tariff. The Republicans do not so look at it. While they favor the abolition of the one tax they are striving to in crease the other tax. Then again the reduction of the Tariff has cot always resulted in an increase of revenue. When the war came on the Tariff was increased in the North in order to get more reve nue. But even though the abolition of the tax on whiskey, &o.t should prevail and the Tariff should be low ered in consequence we could not fa vor it for two good and sufficient w . reasons. .First, tne principle is wrong to tax the necessaries 6f life and let go soot-free the needless lux uries. Second, the tax on whiskey, Ac, is needed to pay nearly $50, 000,000 of annual interest on thetrar debt, aud to meet the present call for $87,000,000 to be applied to the tear pensions for one year. It is absurd to abolish a war tax so long as there is a war debt. It is wrong in princi ple and oppressive to the tax payers to favor free drinks and free smokes while taxing heavily salt, sugar, blankets, shoes, clothiog, &o. But will the changes made in the Senate bill by the House be accepted? There is but little prospect of this. We suppose that the tools of Monop oly know fully the will of their mas ters and will obey to the letter. They will no doubt reject the Democratic amendments and after this the new Congress will be called and then Radicalism being in the ascendant the great, grinding, crushing Jugger naut will be made to move on. Then the people will see bow little honesty or how little friendship there is for them in the Republican party. A BIUH-UAKDBO BIBAS17BB. We do not know a more-dangeroni move on the political chess-board just now than that by John Sherman to give the Federal Congress control of the Congressional elections inthe States. It is a canning and far- reaching attempt to retain possession of the House under the forms of law. If Sherman's plan is adopted and ex ecuted it will be the entering wedge to destroy the States. The bill is so constituted as to give the Congress complete control from first to last. Sherman was candid enough to state that the law contemplated giving the entire control to Federal officials. Here is where he uncovers the true intent 'and meaning of his scheme. He said: "With this machinery I believe we could have honest elections for Congress through out this country. I believe that after it had been practically applied there would be no section of the country which would send from twenty to thirty men to the House or Representatives who were notoriously able to cpme here only by suppression or false counting of from 1,000 to 20 000 votes. With this law in operation. I believe we would noThave the remarkable exsmtftt of Congressional districts casting 25.000 votes at one election and only 10 000 at an other I believe there is power enough in the Federal Government to carry out this law to the letter, arraigning in Federal courts all who dare to impede or violate it. The Registrars to be appointed by the Congress are to have the power of U. S. Marshals. Fines, penalties, imprisonment are all provided. It is a Radical scheme to violate the States and place the elections of members of the -Congress under the control of the Central Power. The Richmond Times makes a comment that fits North Carolina as well as Virginia, and we copy it, commending it and the Sherman scheme of rascality and usurpation to the candid and calm consideration of all Republicans with even a vestige of common sense, love of constitutional liberty and the rights of States, if such there be. The Times says: : "Sherman's election machine is worthy of the inventor of the outrage mill, but It is a contrivance of wider scope and depends more on manipulation of elections by me chanical methods than on false testimony and sensation, and then it is so powerful that he can use hla patent to every precinct in the South on the same day instead of having it moved about from Elita Pinks ton district to Panville, aad from Bouth Carolina to Mississippi. We commend the ! w sin of it to the thought! ul con .iH...fiAn if mir-lticna.i honinff that lUGl.tlvu w . the will meditate on the conseauencea of ciTlng the .Republicans ot Virginia power enousn lO enaoie tuem to ne tuia uacuuie hsre.Tr V ROBTB CAROLINA.; BOTES.

The Normal Schools have about had1 their' day in North Caro lina. At any rate there are those who thi&k-' so. There is now a bill before the Legislature to abolish them' and to establish a Central Training School for ' teaohers and teachers Institutes in certain' parts of the State. We do not know what the opinion of the best qualified teachers is as . to - the utility of the Normal and the necessity of the changes proposed. We are not suf ficiently close to the system hitherto worked to form and express an intel ligent and judicious opinion. It the leading teachers are persuaded that the changes should be made then the Stab will favor them, but not other wise, and because they may be hurt" ful in the end. The public schools need improving and the teaohers in the State need encouragement. With more money, longer terms and higher qualifications for teaohers in the common schools we shall have an advanoe all along the line that will be most gratifying. The colored people who think that their race have more privileges and are regarded with more favor in the North than in the South have an il lustration that should teach them something in the dispatch from Chi cago in the Stab of yesterday rela tive to the threatened war of races at Marion, Illinois. Some negro men were imported to work in a tobacco factory and this was resisted by the white men employed in the factory The negroes were warned to leave town in ten days. Other threats were made and one negro's house was fired into. The best friends the ne groes have now or ever had are the "old masters" and their descendants in the South. THE PERIODIC ALS.

In all communities men may be found to boy, and men to sell, the eaced privilege upon which our " Republic rests; but it is rare1-so rare that this experience' is almost without prece dentthat good citizen, knowing the nature of free institutions, are willing to have them destroyed with out an effort in behalf of their pre servation, lo get at not only the fact but the reason of it we must re number that politics to the average citizen has all the fanaticism of re ligion and all the fascination of gam bling. We have the country divided mtwo hostile camps, and in these or ganizations themselves we have lost the objects for which they were or ganized. This is the -tebdency of poor human nature the world over. It is. probably more pronounced in religion than in any other form. A man who will not only ' fight to the bitter end, but die as a martyr, for a seot whose dogmas he " has never read, or, if read, fails to comprehend. Politics is our religion.

In the course of the long debate . 1 tl t . . 1 s - iu tne senate scout me uuiy on jute bagging for. cotton bales and the combination made by., the manufac turers of this baggiog, the assertion was repeatedly made by Republican Senators that tne combination was only a temporary one, favored by ex ceptional conditions, and could never be made again. Its term expired by limitation on December 31. It is an nounced in the Boston Commercial Bulletin that the combination has been revived on a. new plan. The eight firms that combined to make the contracts on which the old ring was based have quietly bought, this paper says, "the entire supply, of jute butts here, afloat, and in Calcut ta. The entire world's supply of jute butts is now owned by them." 1 hey appear to nave gained control of the supply of this raw material until January, 1890, when the first part of the new crop of this year will begin to arrive. By means of this control of raw material they propose to compel, it is said, the remaining mills to enter a new combination will thus be based upon a corner. If now the corners can induce the Sen ate to retain in its bill the present duty on bagging, or to increase it, they will have a very good thing, all at the expense of consumers.

We believe we but express the sentiment of the great mass of our people who are anxious to have such a law, when we say that we hope the bill will secure and establish equity and justice between all the interests affected by it. But if we shall be to fortunate as to tecure such a law, it will be worse than no law worse than a failure, if it shall be placed in the hands of the torong men for ex edition. The intricate, delicate and responsible duties devolving on the Commission cannot, as some seem to suppose, be performed by common place men. This is one of the times when the ever-present, irrepressible office-seeker should be cast aside. We have many men in the State who would make good Governors Congressmen, Legis lators or Judges, but in our judg ment we have not a great many men who possess that combination of peculiar qualifications necessary to a successful and satisfactory discharge of the trying and important duties of Railroad Commissioner. The -Fro- gressive farmer makes no sugges tion; it has no friend to serve in this matter, but it is free to say that political office hunters are not the men to put in this responsible posi tion.
