Jhc Homing Jftar. ly WILLIAM II . BEKMKD. WILMINGTON, N. C. Friday Morning, Aug. 3, 1894 ABSURD DEMANDS. The Star does not endorse the Senate tariff bill. It did not endorse the House bill, which was a better bill than the Senate bill, but iif it comes to a question of the Senate bill or none at all, it believes it is the part of wisdom and common sense to tike the Senate bill, as far as it may be from our desires or expectations It does not believe in the hot brained demand for the House bill, or none at all. The Senate bill does not come up to the expectation of the tariff reformers, the men who have been battling for years for tariff rev form, but if they could be satisfied with the Wilson bill (which thous ands of them were not), they can go a little further on the compromise line and try to be satisfied with the Senate bill if they can get no better. We have hopes that this may be put in more acceptable shape before it comes but of the hands of the Conference committees, but if this cannot be done it would be the sheer est tolly to reject it and go before the people after all this long and anxious laboring without any bill. It would be a confession that the Dem ocratic party is not equal to the task of formulating and passing a tariff bill. If we fail to pass one now with what assurance can" we go before the people in the coming Congressional elections and say that we will pass one? If we said so what assurance would the people have that we could do it? or what confidence, after one failure, would they have in our prom ises. They who declare that no bill would be preferable to the Senate bill talk as if the Democratic party had a sure thing on the Government for an indefinite period, and' that if the present bill be rejected because the Senate would not yield to the House and give us the Wilsor bill or something very near it the people will repudiate the Senators who stand in the way and elect successors to them who will be more in accord with Democratic ideas on the tariff question. This is an assumption in the first place, a mere gratuitous assumption, which has nothing stronger than mere opinion based on the wish to stand upon.; There is no evidence that the so-called "conser vative" Senators are at variance with the people of their States or that ;hey would not be returned if they were candidates for re-election. But allowing, for the sake of argu ment, that this may be so, what as surance have we that the next House of Representatives will be Demo cratic ? It may be Republican. It is to be hoped that it will not be, but possibly it may be. To go before the people, as sorely disappointed as they will be after this long contest, with out a tariff will be a very good way to defeat Democrats and send Re publicans in their places. If the next House of Representatives should be Republican that will be the end of tariff legislation for some time to come whatever the political com plexion of the Senate may be, and then the people may continue to sweat (under the McKinley bill, as they have been doing since 1890. the assumption that if we have no tariff bill at all we will when the I next Congress meets and the people of have had a whack at the Senators I to who have not toed the mark, have a better one and such a one as the Democratic party has a right to expect is an assumption based more on hope than on any tangible indica- tion or evidence. The gentlemen who entertain it may find themselves very sadly disappointed, and may then wish they had shown more discre tion, and made the best oi tne con ditions that confronted them. The Senate bill is. not such a bill as the tariff reformers of the country wanted or had a right to expect, but it makes an average reduction of about thirty-two per cent, on the McKinley bill. Isn't that worth tak ing and Holding until we can ao better? It gives the Sugar Trust too much, it is true, but not near as much as the McKinley bill gave it. It leaves a duty on coal and iron, but a little over half the duty under the McKinley bill. With a few minor exceptions there is a material reduction all along the line, which, according tof the esti mates of some, will reduce the tribute consumers pay to the pro tected manufacturers under the Mc Kinley bill $750,000,000 a year. Isn't that worth taking and holding, while we move on and continue the reductions in future where the duties are too high, and do it leisurely and piecemeal without disturbing busi- ness generally by wholesale tariff agitation? This, it seems to us, is the sensible and business-like course to pursue, and far better than the absurd demand to kill all tariff legis lation if we can't get just what we want MXEfOR MSHTI09. The Populist Convention which met in RaleighJWednesday wasn't so much of a Populist affair after all, for it nominated for Judges two Re publicans and two Democrats, and contented itself with the nomination of a Populist for f State Treasurer. The nomination o the two Republi cans for Judges was doubtless the re sult of the conferences held pre vious to the meeting of the Conven tion, between certain Populist and Republican party managers. This means, of course, that the Republi can faction which favored this fuse will support it at the polls, and this is probably an indication of further fusions on Congressional and Legis lative candidates. The most notable event of the Convention was the dropping from the platform of the sub-treasury plank, one of the con ditional demands upon which the party made its tight in previous campaigns, and which was laid down as a test of party fealty. The Gov ernment ownership of railroads, &c, will go next and then about all there was in the Populist party to give it individuality will be taken out of it and there will be no special reason why it should pretend to have a living existence, unless itjlives simply for the purpose ot "denouncing the old parties." St President Debs is quoted assay ing that he "will never again be con nected with a strike, for he is satis fied that the sentiment of the coun try is against them, and that the military power of the country will be invoked to suppress them." If the sentiment of the country had not been against them the rash and in sane course pursued by Debs and his associates in the late strike would have made it so, for in the effort to punish the Pullman Car Company and the railroads which hauled Pull man cars he made war on the farmer, the merchant, the manufacturer and thousands upon thousands of people who had noth ing whatever to do with the cause of the trouble botween Pullman and his employes and Debs and the railroads. But all 'these were made to suffer in consequence of the wild and reckless course pursued by Debs and his as sociates. If he and his followers I and others who have been advocat- ing strikes as a means of remedying wrongs have learned better and will henceforth resort to more orderly and defensible methods the late strike will not have been without its good results. Japan having formally declared war against China, the dogs of war wnl now be let loose m earnest, without any further ceremony, and Russia, England and France will keep their eyes open to see where they can make anything as the melee progresses. Thisi country is interested only in so far as our corn- I merce may be affected by the war, but its sympathies, as far as they go on either side, incline towards the Japanese, who were not anxious for war, and were really forced into it by China. The American people ad- mire pluck, and they admire the spirit of a country with d8,ouu,ow people throwing down the gauntlet a country with 400,000,000, to a country which ought to overrun Corea and drive the Japanese out of it within six months if it bad the right kind of armies, under compe tent commanders. The fact that there are European and American officers in both Japanese and Chinese Armies may possibly infuse some better fighting spirit into both. If left to these two nations to fight it out the probabilities are that the Chi nese with their hundreds of millions to draw from would eventually tri- umpfa, but it is more than possible that if it continues long England and Russia and possibly France may be dragged into it. CURRENT COMMENT. From various parts of the I State come renorts that the con tinued wet weather is doing great damage to cotton. Still, among cotton men, the impression prevails that the croD soon to be harvested will be much larger than the crop of last year. Savannah News, Dem. The first great necessity of the country is to have the tariff issue settled. The McKinley bill, with all its protection to monopoly and exor bitant exactions upon the necessaries of 'business and of life, would be better than the condition of uncer tainty that must prevail if tariff leg islation shall be defeated. Phil. Times, Ind. The Democratic party meant to declare in 1892 that it had done forever with straddling the tariff issue. Mr. Gorman's bludgeon may intimidate a weak Senate and pos sibly also a disgusted House, con vinced that the game is not worth the candle, but it will not force the party back into the uncomfortable, undignified and now impossible po sition. Louircille Courier- Journal, Dem. It is impossible to keep count of all the former Kolb men Who are announced in the country press as forsaking Kolb and coming back to the Democratic fold. Ever since these people obtained what they recognized as authentic information of Captain Kolb's sale to the Repub licans, there has been a "landslide" in the direction of the Democracy and Colonel Oates. Mobile ' Register, Dem. A STRONG TESTIMONIAL. What a Leading Educator Thinks of tho American Encyclopaedic Dictionary. The high standing of Capt. Washing ton Catlett, Principal of the Cape Fear Academy, both as a scholar and an edu cator, gives a real value to the annexed testimonial: Wilmington, April 11, 1894. Mr. W. H. Bernard : Dear Sir: I have examined very carefully the 1st Part of the American Encyclopaedic Dictionary. I am really surprised at the excellence of the work, both for its intrinsic merit and its price. I have made a parallel comparison with Webster's Unabrideed: and with the Century, published also in parts, costing me $8.50 per volume; or. complete, $60. I find the American Encyclopaedic Dictionary superior In many respects to Webster's Unabridged, and for genera purposes equal to the Century. The type is distinct and full, the illus trations numerous, the derivation of words scholarly and accurate, the defini tions exceedingly complete and verified by many extracts from leading modern authors, the encyclopaedic information very full, the diacritical marks plain, with prominent equivalents at bottom of each page. I unhesitatingly endorse the First Part of this Dictionary as meeting the require ments of the scholar and filling the wants of the general reader and man of busi ness needing general information in a compact and reliable presentation. No one need fear that his money will be misspent, who invests in this work. Yours truly, Washington Catlett. Klectrle Bitters.
