We feel obliged to say that the views entertained by the President on this subject are not as conserva tive as we apprehended they would be. On the contrary it would t be difficult to oonceive of a much more immoderate advocacy of the doctrine of free trade pure and simple than that employed by Mr. Cleveland in his theorizing on tariff taxation. The people had expected that Mr. Cleveland would in his message to Congress take occasion to empha size the vital necessity of revising and reducing the present Vicious and oppressive tariff and modifying the infernal revenue system; but we venture to believe; that his radical suggestions will excite the utmost as tonishment throughout the country. If this economic question were all of Democracy, and thq Chief Magistrate were the determining power, we should consider that the party is mortally harmed. i Petersburg Index-Appeal, Protection. J It is a' plea for free trade,j pure and simple. There is in it not aline, not a thought, no,t a suggestion, that will find favor in Virginia, of 0eor gia or Alabama! where new manufac turing industries are daily springing into life. Mr. Cleveland also declares with brutal frankness we mean no offense by this term against the removal "of the internal revenue tax on tobacco. . j . j j Augusta Chronicle, Protection; .' The tariff is clearly and ably ban died. The President defines lit at the outset so that all can readily comprehend. The President places hiurfelf against the repeal of the internal revenue laws. j He is clearly in favor of a low tariff. Tariff reform is, "with him, the one absorbing question. We have no. doubt that the popular will, if it coald be expressed without regard to party, would overwhelmingly en dorse his position, but candor , i . .1 .L tL nela us to sav that his views oft the r i 1 w internal revenue system and the tariff will not strengthen our cause in the Presidential election in the States-&f New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and Virginia. j Jacksonville (FlH.)TimeaUnion. Dem. The views of the President on this au-imponani euoject are not uouuu- ed by any narrow partisan or sec tional considerations. While they are in strict accord witn tne Dnnci pies of true Democracy as enunciated by the National Democratic party, they are such as must be endorsed by every intelligent and patriotic person in every part of the Union who is not influenced by motives of self-interest. ' j Richmond Whig, Protection. That part of the message is to us, and will be to the people of the te bacco growing states, a distinct dis appointment, for we bad hoped that he would at least recommend the re peal of the tobacco tax. j Augusta (Ga.) Gazette, Dem. .It is a brave, honest, clear, put- spoken document. It is Democratic front beginning to end, and does not leave any one in doubt as to where Mr.! Cleveland stands on the great question as to how the surplus should be reduced. Mr. Cleveland takes no stocky whatever in ? the mis erable Republican scheme, originated by Pig Iron Eelley and adopted at second band by aam xtandau and bis henchmen, to reduce the surplus by abolishing the taxes on whiskey, to bacco I and beer. Whatever may be said of the other Democratic leaders, President Cleveland has shown that he comprehends the Dem ocratic! opportunity to right the wrongs of the people, and that; he bas the courage to meet the respon sibilities of the situation like a man and a patriot. Northern Opinion New York Star, Demi Those who were well . grounded in Democratic doctrine and thoroughly lniormea as to. toe opinions ana pur poses of the Democracy pave also been able to , anticipate the general line of argument which the Jr'resl dent would present. The sub ject is the reduction of taxation, and the method is to reduoe the taxes upon the materials of industry and upon food, fuel and olothing. We think that there 1 is no fair-minded man whatever, not biased by his. in ' tercets, who can come to any other conclusion than this.. - There is no indication that he favors the improvident . policy of doing away with the internal taxes, which are all levied upon luxuries, in order to ; re tain oppressive taxes upon the neces eities of life and industry; . j Washington Post, Dem. Passing over the idea of extravas gant and unnecessary expenditure a- a measure of relief it is ooncluded that the only remedy-is by a reduc tion of taxation, and as to that the President leaves no one in doubt. - None of the articles subject to inter nal revenue taxation are 1 necessaries. and. in the language of Mr, Cleve land, "there appears to be no just complaint of this taxation by the consumers i of these articles, and there seems to be nothing so Well able to bear the burden without hard ship to any portion of the people." jTariff reduction and reform is, by comparison with other issues, the sole political question. Presi dent Cleveland's attitude thereon is the position not only of every true Democrat but of all. liberal-minded men of every party. T McClure, Rep. Protectionist in Phil.Times. Just to the extent that this feature of the message shall be aooepted as averse to the reduction of internal taxes to aid ip. reduoing revenue, it is a blander. I believe it is to that 'extent a blunder on the merits of the question; I am sure it is a blunder . . ... . 1 . I r J - A tnat wut mnaer rawer mau mu -jrao-tioal results, beoauae internal tax re duction is much stronger than tatiff revisiorl as distinct propositions in Congress. .''.'!!"'. V.::-. : . PhiL Record, Dem. j The true remedy for repletion is reduction. The suggestion of tax reduction by a repeal of the tax on whiskey and tobacco is curtiy dis posed of as not meeting the obvious requirement of alleviating tnose our dens which bear with the greatest hardship on the whole body of the people. This brings the argument forward to a discussion of the reduc tion of taxation by tariff revision. On this topio, to Which the President devotes the remainder of his Message, the argument Is ! sustained, clear, lu minous and satisfactory, j NT. Journal of Commerce, Ind. Dem. The whole message is grand in its simplicity and freedom from every form of ambiguity, and in tne evi dent earnestness and sincerity which characterize it throughout. j f N. Y. Times, Ind Rep. j There is no I room for doubt or misunderstanding. It will be ob served that the, President practically recommends the reduction of tariff duties only. He refers to the inter nal revenue taxes but to say that "thorn nnnonra I tn r nn in sr. nam- I -ft ! T- . J plaint of this taxation by the con sumers ox tnose articles ' tnat are taxed. But "out; present tariff laws, the vicious, inequitable, and illogical source of unnecessary taxation, ought to be at once revised and amended." j It remains to be seen how Congress will j regard the appeal made by the F resident. It is a wise appeal, based oh facts that no one can deny, and pointing to a policy that must be adopted sooner or later. . If it be not adopted now, then, in the words of the message, "the responsibility must rest where it belongs." I N. Y. World, Ind. Dem The admirable Message of the President has given to the Demo cratic party what it has tong lacked: an issue and a leader, lne issue in Tax Rafotm. jfThe leader is the now formulating the President In 1 Democratic policy as proclaimed in all its platforms, and passing upon Uougresd, after free consultation with the party leaders, the "para- mount issue" of stopping the s-ur plus by reforming the tariff.

I j ' j .! The "President, taking the stand point of the millions upon millions of consumers in this country, very na turally concludes that relief from the taxes on food and clothing is more urgent than relief from the taxes on tobacco and spirit, but what he say must not be conetrued into hostility to a reduction in internal taxes or to the abolition of any part of them. &l ITAaTAvar I tvarmlv AT" i r m nirt favor the abolition of the tax on toj bacco they mustj not forget that they as well a millions of citizens in States thai do dot produce tobacc are equally interested in relief from the burdens of the robber tariff. ! i! i Ml ! .

Press, Rep. The small band of Democratic Protectionists are left stranded and homeless, but the Democratic party must go with the President. As a candidate he haB made his own plat; form, and it will be the overriding issue, no matter, what jugglery may be attempted by the Convention. The Republican party will welcome and accept the president's challenge.

State vs. Goings. Defendant was indicted for steal ing a horse, and in. ; another count in the same bill for- receiving the horse, knowing it to be stolen, and a gen eral verdict of guilty being rendered, the Court sentenced him to seven years imprisonment. . Held, That as the two offences are not of the same grade, nor the pun ishment the same in each in the con templation of the statute, the verdict being general, the Uourt could not determine for which offence the pun ishment ought! to be imposed and would not mete it -out as contem plated by the law. j The record does not show for which offence the pun ishment should! have been imposed. The record ought to show for which particular offence the punishment is imposed. On a general verdict on an indiotment charging two crimes not of the same grade, and for which different' punishments are pro vided, no judgment can be pro nounced. . j- State vs. Moody. ' To support an .: indictment under the act of 1879y the proof mut be that the defendant had alleged moon tinenoy actual unohastity not - a mere "promise." Rose vs. Hardy, I , Held, That' the act relating to the town of Fayetteville, chapter 58, pri vate laws 1881, is valid and confers authority on the sheriff of Cumber land county to impound hogs running at large in FayetteviiJe, whether be longing to residents or non-residents, and the lawful charges paid to secure their release from the pound cannot be recovered in an action against the sheriff. j ! " i Roberts vs. j Calvert. Held, .That the provision in the election law empowering the board of county canvassers to open and canvass and judicially, determine the returns and make abstracts cannot be construed as creating a jurisdic tion to determine finally and conclu sively the result of the election ; nor does it contemplate that the decision of the board ! shall be reviewed and affirmed or corrected upon appeal or by writ of certiorari to the Superior Court or the supreme Court. Held, The Returns from a voting precinct, being regular are prima facie evidence of the election held there, and put the burden of proof on bim who alleges the contrary to prove it clearly. To render an election void on the ground of violence and intimidation, it must be shown that there was vio-. lence or a display of arms or implo raents of force or intimidation deter ring electors of reasonable firmness from voting or driving tnem tnrongn fear and mtimioation to vote other wise than they! intended or desired to do, and this ought clearly to ap pear. j j " , Where the Selection is held in i neighboring store to that designated as the precinct, so near to it as that all the electors who desired to vote bad fair opportunity to do so, the - election wiil not be void. Where persons not sworn, other than judges of j election counted the ballots or assisted in the oountftg, if the ballots were truly counted, the election would! not thereby be ren dered void. i ; j- After the board of canvassers have deulared the result of an eleo tion for register of deed, the board of commissioner can recognize only the person declared elected, and whether such person appears in or aer to be inducted, or tans to ap pear, the board of commissioners cannot consider and pass on the right of another person who claims to have beeu elected, j i The commissioners could afford no remedy to one whose right had been rejected by the board of canvassers, and that the commissioners declared the office vacant and elected a third person to the office could not in any way affect bis right, which was para mount. : : I Eigenbrun vs. Smith & Cohen. Robinson & Holt executed a deed in trust of their stock of goods to Watkins, who subsequently joined Robinson & Holt in a bill of sale to plaintiff. ,! ! Coben bad a judgment against Robinson & Holt, and Sheriff Smith levied on the goods and took the same into possession, alleging the deed and bill of sale to be void as against creditor, and the juryso found. Held, 1 hat if a purchaser gives even a full price for th goods yet if be does so with the view and purpose to defeat a creditor's execution, the transaction is fraudulent. The ques tion of fraud depends on the motive and the purchase must be dona fide as well as upon good consideration. Kqowlege of the fact that the sheriff was seeking to subject the property would not invalidate ! the purchase; but if one purchases , with a view to defeat the remedy of creditors, the sale may be questioned. Held, That where the plaintiff af ter a cross-examination of certain of bis witnesses rests his case, and the defendants introduce no evidence, and the plaintiff does not ask leave to introduce further testimony, but goes to the jury, although he had other important!; witnesses, there is no ground for a new trial. . Held, To render a deed of assign ment invalid, it is not necessary that the trustee should know that1 the in tent with which u was made was fraudulent.

D., a MethodUt minister in New York, is re ooned to have stated that two hundred out of three hundred families, who admitted to cmvaseers from bis Church that they had no copy of the Bible, lived in brown- titone-front houses. ' The Christian Register tells of a minister in a prominent western city who resigned bis charge after a few years' trial. saying that be wanted to be the pastor of a cburcb, but be couia not oe manager ot a circus w netner wis ta a true report, or only a paragraph invented to characterize the tendency to . provide amusements in Brme congregations, we are not able to say. Of this, however, we are fully persuaded that there are a great many entertainments desicned to popularize churches and draw support from outsiders, which, if not posi tively hurtful, are certainly not neipiui to their spiritual influence. Baptist Weekly. It has been often said, but can never be said too often, that the Scripture is rather a book of principles than of rules. Let us clearly understand the difference. A rule of duty sets us a definite task which wears one aud tbe same aspect under ail circumstances, whoso limits are prescribed, and whose nature there can be no mistak ing. "Thou shalt set the show-bread upon the pure table before the Lord" this is a rule; it prescribes an action, clearly defined, and nevt-r varying in its form. A princi ple, on tbe otner hand, prescribes not an action, b-it a frame of spirit, a tone of mind, which will develop itself differently under different circumstances. "Honor thy father and thy mother" is a principle; the honor may be shown in many different was. by uuiwaid marks of respect, by at tention to their wishes, by praying for tbem , by giving them our services when they are in difficulty, by manfully refusing to be ashamed of tbem if they move in a lower sphere of life than ourselves K M Goulbourn, D. D. The right to think, to speak, to set baa been more and more asserted as men came to feel that before the ultimate ttibuual, where all men must stand, rich and poor, king and peasant, master and slave shall eland upon the same level. The leaven or this idea has worked in ths poli tical measure of meal until it bhill ere long leaven the whole mass. The fire which went out from the lowly teacher of Naza reth devours the cedars of Lebanon the lofty lurones which overshadowed and oppressed tbe world. The small stone hewn without hands has grown to a moun tain and fills the whole earth. Born in a stable and cradled in a manger, Christ carcti t o; to enhance tbe tyranny of earth ly rack; without a foot of land to call his own on the soil he trod, he came not to establish n government of tbe world by iu rich; without a roof to cover his head, with poor ' fishermen for his ompanions, he came riot to bind tbe chains of nilitary p-fwer upon tbe people, but to vindicate tbe irutn that where the spirit of tbe Lord is tbeie Is liberty.
