Now that the smoke of' bttte has drifted away and our de'eat in the lata campaign u partial iy forgotten, only -a few are acill harping on un fcae silver as the cause of deprres eioa that Mr. Pntchard and Mr. . v jr ' ' 1 jtrager promise a ; s eaouiav pass away as May frost when"&lrMcib ley should holding jmus of govern dent and a tariff for protection c&bald be enacted. We were always met in theicarrii . pgn with a hoot that the tariff was a dead issue, whifr HepnbUcans fc&ntihzed us for oar abVadonmeni 'oar. former issue. We now realize that that party is ic power that is wedded to protec tixo tariff Now again we can study . if - i Itiz tarifi question. The Morning Cifir is leading off right manfully. W stop to say right here that no ilo&acial condition exists today in . : I - : . .

Now it is entirely probable that these tteei rails are made at a profit at $18 yer ton and when it is remembered t hat under protected trusts they Iitvo soM a3 high as $07 per ton, it caa b'e ean what an ev mous profit M possible with restricted competi tion ; probably $10,000,OOQ or 12, 00,000 annually in this one liner It is wondarful- that men will prate so much about the evils of zggrzg&ted wealth when content to continue a system that ,, is giving xaore than legitimateprofits to some lines of industry to the ruin , of others. : A tariff that would- bear evenly ozk all would be robbed of results, hn.. if we are to have the govern Bzsntto nurse its citizens instead th citizens, to nurse the govern Eisai let the government benefac tions be distributed to all.

JUDQE.SUIP FOB JDUENUT 2iearina: grave ; and serious sires talking of judges, we thought in the isya of unsophisticated youth that jcdges were men, not oniy ' learned in gpeecbe&iate annealed, with such control over sel and its- weaknesses aa;tocbe atovd'partison foibles. We thought that only' those men1, were chosen for fudges who subordinated everything" in the flesh for a high sense of right and a steady purpose to promote the highest de elopment of morality. But alas! how little we conceived -tiie modern idea when Walter R Henr on come off of a campaign in which' he manifested bo much of vile demagog and be reckoned fit for a judgeship. It is bard to hold, up for the-dig nity and the authority of the courts! when the vilest partisans are on : the ; judge's bench. We wish for the good of the cause that Mr. Henry were more a exem plary character or that Governor Russell would not make the appoint- ment.' LEGISLA11V l.OCIt-MCItERS. : It is our unpl8int tluty to chide Brose again and along , with him Lieutenant , Governor Charlie Rey nplds.

Tneir adtocrati'd proceeding of breaking into Enrolling Clerk Swinson's oft fice and desks Saturd I ay in oo sting him because he refused to surrender His prerogatives and 'self-respect is not surprising in Brose.

Mr, Cleveland, by his order re ducing the pension agencies,1 has bronrv l himself -'into ' still greater disfavor with Congress. Any meas ure looking to a reduction of the number of offices, and consequently of office-holders, is calculated to meet, with opposition by the average Congressman, and it is not surpris ing to heaf tal k of Congress repeal ing the President's office reduction law. More offices, more patronage and more boodle is the slogan of the patriot to-day. This is not the first law Mr. Cleveland has proposed in the interests of economy and -good government that has drawn upon him the wrath of the pettifogging politicians. To obliterate nine out of the eighteen pension agencies of the country at one fell swoop is ap paling, now4 isn't it? Especially since the nine abolished ofiices car ried salaries of 3 6,000 and em ployes', wages of $105,000. Char lotte Observer. ;. . Mr. -A B arquhar, of York, Pa., a large manufacturer of agricultu ral implements, tells the; Ways and Means -committee that the manu facturers need t no! protection, -and that- they can beat their foreign competitors all hollow.

' This is the man who some years ago thought tod that wV could tax ourselves into prosperity, but later said that the protection of agricultu ral implements wj&s unnecessary and that agriculturists; from paying too high prices, would become toq much embarrassed buy the pro- tected productions, matter short, said To make i the Mr!

Mr Justice offered thi amendment : "That county com missioners of different counties be authorized and empowered to pay judges of eiectionj registrars and4 messengers so mucn per aiem ana mileage as they think proper and just. This man's name is justice but it might as well be Commoh Sense. I ' , In the Senate yesterday a" petition was presented from; hotel and board ing house keepers of AsheviHe ask- ing that the 50c. tax on each bed he repealed. Why not ? What sort of crankiness was it that ever put it there? A set of wise legislators can run our State government without recourse to class taxation against a livelihood so often the sole means of keeping the wolf from "the door "I feel," said a member of the Legislature Saturday, "very much like the fellow who was induced to run for an office . id- Georgia. After he was elected he solilloquized thus: "No, I shalL never, run for office again, not if I know-Tit. For three weeks after 1 took the stump 1 did not see my family, and during, my absence at that time a fellow who was shipping watermelons for me pocketed the returns for four car loads and skipped the country ; a tramp rode away on one of my best horses : my wife Unvested 8200 in bicycles ; my youngest ; daughter ran away andv married a man for me to support, and all our mutual relatives came to congratulate my Wife on the honor that had been conferred upon me and incidently to spend the summer. Those three weeks cost me in. round numbers $400. to say nothing of the son-in law, who threatened to be perma nent, and the office for which I was striving is worth j u3t $600 a year. LI won't be elected! however, snd I'm glad of it. But this has been a campaign of education to me, for in it I have learned row much of a fool. I really was.?'
