BERNARD. ; WILMINGTON, N. C. y Sunday Morning, Dec. 18, 1892. t IT SHOULD BE WELL DONE. ; The greatest work which will come before the next Congress will be the revision of the tariff or rather the making of a new tariff law. It is a work which should be done as soon as possible, but it is more important that it be done wisely and "well, for tariffs are something that cannot be changed every day and when they are framed they should be so framed as to avoid as far as possible the necessity of changes afterward. The conditions that present them selves now are different from those that have presented themselves after any Presidential election since 1860. " It is the first time that the Demo crats have had full control of the Government and consequently the first time that radical tariff reform was possible. Heretofore while there might be changes or modifications in the existing tariffs those who were interested in keeping the duties high had no fears of not receiving all the protection they asked for and conse quently there was no uneasiness in manufacturing circles and importers and others were not afraid to import or to buy large stocks of goods for they felt pretty sure that the duties on imported articles would remain pretty much as they were if not made higher. . But It is pretty well understood now, and pretty generally accepted, that the day of protection for prp- tection's sake has passed, and that there is to be some pretty deep cut ting in the Republican rates. This is accepted as settled, and those in terested are putting themselves into shape to be prepared for it. The only y question as to which there is any un certainty is, when the cutting is to begin, and whether it is to be done ; by an extra session of Congress con :y; vened before the regular time of y'i meeting, or wait until the new Con gress meets in December next at the regular time. There are some Democrats, and not a small number, who think that Congress should be convened soon t y after the inauguration of the President-elect and the work-of. tariff re-form be entered upon at once. These represent that element of the party which believes in putting the knife in deep and cutting as near to the roots as possible. , .There are others who represent the more cautious and conservative . . element who are opposed to an ex ; tra session, who realize that the work of tariff reform is a big work which ought to be approached thoughtfully f " and carefully. . Any tariff bill that is framed in . . haste, even though the men who " frame it may be men of more than ordinary intelligence, will necessarily . be defective. fThere are, we believe, " about two thousand dutiable articles in the McKinley tariff. To handle intelligently and to impose upon : each the proper amount of duty it should bear, requires not only much intelligence on the subject in general but much knowledge of the details ' 0 and the respective parts that each of these plays in the commerce of the ':-' country. How little the average Congressman knows about this has , Jjeen demonstrated time and again in the tariff discussions in Congress. We haven't the slightest doubt that a commission , composed of a suitable number of Senators and Representatives, with the assistance and information that would be given them by reliable and responsible bus iness men of the country, represen tatives of the farm, the shop," the manufactory the consumers and makers of goods could frame a bet ter and more enduring tariff law in three months than Congress could in six. : ' It has been said that we have had tariff commissions before. This is true, but they were commissions whose purpose was to bolster the ex isting tariffs and to find excuses for not reducing duties, or to make them higher. They were mere par tisan commissions which did not en ter upon jtheir work with an honest purpose. A commission appointed by a Democratic Congress would be a different sort of thing al together, torj they would approach the work assigned them with honest intent. They would seek and obtain the information necessary to do that work intelligently, and the result would be a tariff bill so framed that when submitted to Congress there would be but little need of much dis cussion, and it could be passed quickly without keeping the country in a condition of uncertainty which would. result from a protracted dis cussion. Every member of Congress would not want to make a speech on rt nor have a hand in. the .making of the bill, which would be the case if the preliminary work is left until the next Congress meets, whether in ex tra or regular session. Of course, there might be amend ments deemed advisable, but the t most difficult part of the work would be done and the task completed be fore Congress, if the work were left to it to do entire, could get fairly started on it. MINOR MENTION. The State Comptroller of New York has- hit upon an idea from which he thinks the State may occa sionally make j a pretty big haul in revenue. It is a sort of graduated income tax from the estates of de ceased rich people. It is, in his opinion, an improvement upon the present system which imposes a tax ot one per cent, on all estates over 10,000 which come by direct inheri tance. He suggests that the one per cent, rate should hold on all sums over 10,000 Up to 100,000, and two per cent, be imposed on all between 100,000 and l.500,000, three per cent, on all. between 500,000 and 1,000,000 and five per cent, on all exceeding 1,000,000. . Three, rich men have died in the State of New York recently, Jay Gould, Wilson G. Hunt and millionaire named Crouse, in Syracuse, from whose estates the State would have gotten under, such a law about 4,000,000.. He argues that much .of this wealth is in such shape that it escapes taxa tion during the lifetime of those who make it and that this is the first chance to reach it, when it passes into the hands of heirs. There are daily reports and daily contradictions of the report that James G. Blaine had been admitted to the Catholic Church. Whether he has been or not seems to overshadow for the time being the question as to whether he is getting better or worse. Whether he has or not seems to us a matter that concerns Mr. Blaine much more than the American pub lic, who have very little interest in what Mr. Blaine's religious views may be. But there would be nothing strange in it if Mr. Blaine were to embrace the Catholic faith. He was born of a Catholic mother, and in his younger days was connected with that church. His father was a mem ber of no church, but became a mem ber of the Catholic Church before his death. All of Mr. Blaine's sisters were Catholics, and one of them be came a nun in a convent in the West. Under these circumstances it would not be strange if Mr. Blaine, in his last days, should draw near to the church of his mother and of his youth. - , According to the latest reports from Kansas the Democrats hold the balance of power in the Legisla ture and can control the election of a United ; States Senator. This means that there is no chance for the election of a Republican and that a Senator will be elected who will be in accord with the Democratic party on the leading questions that will come.before the Senate. The Re publicans might defeat this by com bining with enough of the Populists te elect a man with Republican leanings, but it is not likely that they could find Populists enough to join them in that game, the more un likely as they have very much embit- tered the Populists by their efforts to steal the Legislature and beat them out of a Senator. There is, not much'aanger of a Republican-Populist combine. The Baltimore Manufacturers' Record reports the aggregate amount invested in new industrial enterprises in the South for the past week at $3,565,000, in addition to which there are a. number noted for which no figures are given. These relate mainly to cotton and other mills to which additions have been made and increased machinery put in. The work of industrial progress goes steadily on, and the indications are that there will be many and large investments in the near future. CURRENT COMMENT. Every new Congress should go in with the President. Waiting from November to December the next year may have suited the days of stage coaches, but in this era of steam and electricity the wait is en tirely too long. Besides, it is poor politics to have a President and a Congress making laws after both have been repudiated by the people! Montgomery Advertiser, Dem. The Republican Chief Jus tice of Montana knows no law but that of his party, and has no notion of self-respect. He decides the Choc teau county county contest for a leg islative sert in favor of the Republi can contestant, although to do so he was compelled to reverse his own opinion, given in 1890, in the Silver Bow case, for the like purpose of se curing Republican victory. All he requires to know is which is the Re publican. Lonisvitte Courier- Jonrnal, Dem. If the Republican managers in the close States of the West should again embark in the business of steal ing united states senators tney would be likely to encounter obsta cles that have heretofore been un known. There is not the slightest disposition anywhere in the triumph ant Democracy to submit - to the tricks of perjury and political lar ceny by which on former occasions notably in Montana Democratic Legislatures have been constrained to send Republicans to misrepresent great States in the Senate. This is an extremely unpropitions season for any political undertaking based up on an attempt to defeat the will of the people. Phil. Record, Dem. PERSONAL.

That the wife and husband must often part - - ; " ".' When the dailv bread's, to earn: And there's peace and ioy in her gentle breast As she sews, or sweeps the floor, And every task is essayed with zest tor the good-by kiss at the aoor. - And the husband striving in life's rough race. Where there's little time for play, Has many a glimpse of her smiling face In his mind through the busy day. And his look is tender, his eyes are bright As he cons his ledger o'er, For he thinks of the welcome that awaits at night. And the good-by kiss at the door. O. wives and husbands, the world is bright When the heart with love doth glow, And its path is smooth and its burden light If you're willing to make it so; And the sun will shine through the darkest day And scatter the clouds that lower And the roses blossom along life's way For the good-by kiss at the door.

Our colored population has been stirred up for several days by the report that a large green tree in the woods near town has been burning in the top ever since the meteoric shower of November 23.
