RICHMOND WING.
MONDAY MORNING. JUNE IS.
TARIFF AND DISTRIBUTION.

Il seems to be understood here that his Aeeidency
viii, veto the Tariff Bill (even should one be passed)
il the repeal OF the 20 per cent. limitation in the
Distribution Act he inserted in it.
The time has been when we would have been
willing to have made some compromises for the sake
OF satisfying the different sections OF the country,
even the prejudices OF party: that time, however,
has past; and We now so for all the measures that
We deem the public interest requires, and We would
not sbatc the ninth part of n hair to please the
Captain. the Guard, or the Locos. Tariff for
Revenue and discriminative protection is required
for the being OF both Government and People,
and we hope that man calling himself Wing will
be found hnehing when the day of trial comes.
Some OF the wire pullers and political counters
reabouts predict the loss OF the Tariff bill in the
Senate, by a tie-vote. We have no means by
which to form opinion of the correctness of this
estimate, but should be unwilling TO believe that
any Wing Senator would unite with the enemies OF
his own party TO defeat measure ardently desired
by 80 out OF every 100 of its members.
Ii is time that the saddle should be placed the
right horse-thst the responsibility Of acts should
.est on those that cause them. The course that
the Wing party IN Congress should take, in our OPT
ceSsary means OF national expenditure, land Of
justice to the States in preserving the distribution
money! and then to await the action of the Execu-
tive before any further appropriations were made
IL he be willing TO take the responsibility ofve,ong
the bill, let hin do So and let the Government be
thrown on the revenue that would arise from the
diminished Tariff of "33," and let the appropriations
6e scaled accordingly. The country requires at the
hands the Wing party that no more loans Trea-
sury note bills be passed; provide, by proper
sessment of mposts. for the support Of the Govern
ment, and should that provision be rendered nugnto
~ by him, whom accident and the wrath of Heaven
have given the power to forestall the will OF the
People, why let him take the responsibility Of all the
ills that will ensue II be his faiths the Treasu-
ry shall not be filed in the usual and legitimate
mode-why reduce all the expenses of the Govern
men,, salaries inclusive, 10 meet the diminished re-
ceipts7 In no event issue another Treasury note
or authorize another loan. The people expect, and
have a right to expect, reform and relrenchment at
the hards ofa Wing Congress-let them not be
disappointed.

Public LaRd Salcs.-The President of the United
States has ordered sales of considerable quantities
of land the ensuing winter, in Michigan, Illinois,
Missouri, Wisconsin, and Iowa There are adver-
tlsed for sale IN Michigan, at Kalamazoo, Genesee,
and Iowa, IN January and February next about 2S0
sections, ,1t2 900 acres in Illinois in January,
1900 sections or 9U0, 900 acres at Dixon and Chca-
go; in Missouri in January and February 1900 sec
tons, at Fnyette, Lexington and Springfield +; in
Wisconsin, at Green Bay, 900 sections, in January
and in Iowa, in January. February and March, 1900
sections, at Fairfield aud Dubuque.
The Peoria Register estimates the amour, adver.
tiscd at S2l sections. 5,255 000 acres, and re-
lows
"As some of the townships are fractional,
we have had to conjecture the number of
sections in them, and we give the above as
the result. Strict accuracy is not aimed at
OF the S2ll sections here estimated, it is
fair to suppose that third are occupied by
pre-cmptioners (ihe settlers on the land) who
must pay by the day of sale. If 2733 Sec
,ions be claimed" in this way, they will
bring, at $500 each, 81, IS6, 400 1t is
probable that none will be bought save by
pre-emptioners, and that the balance (547S
sectons) will be thereafter subject to entry.
How this 81, lS6, 400 is to be raised by
the settlers in these hard times, it is difficult
to imagine. We do not doubt that petitions
will go on from every land district praying
for postponement of the sales

The immense sacrifices of property which
are almost daily taking place in Middle Tenn
essee, are truly notwithstanding, 10 those who
have Just commseration for the suiierngs Of
a Loco Focoed people. We will mention, by
way of example, that on Saturday last, eleven
large mules, two new wagons costing 81 80
apiece, and negro man, middle aged and like
ly, were sold in Franklin at Sherrfl's sale, and
in the aggregate brought but $500. The poor
ruined victim of such murderous operation is
a hard working, sober, respectable mechanic.
Such facts ought 10 go before the public. Let

ures in Congress proposed for the relief of the
country, ponder them well. Let the opponents

New YoRK ELEorroS-The Wings in the State
Of New York are beaten by some 10000 majority.
II is a regular Waterloo nffar--a complete sweep.
Their Artillery Infantry and Dragons, under the
command of Gen. 9pa,hy, completely routed
and over,hrown In few portions of the State the
Wings did their duty, and manfuly contested the
ground with their opponents. In the city of New
York. the contest was spirited-and the Locoioco
majority was about the same as in 1910. The Wing
majority, in Albany county, in 1910 was 1870; this
year, lJ7. This shows what the Wings can do
when they make vigorous effort.
In the city Of New York the question of Protee-
ton or No Protection to Home Industry, entered
directly into the canvass. This brought TO the
support of the Locoloco ticket, Of course the entire
Foreign Importing Interest, also the votes Of n
large number of Merchants and Clerks On the
other hand the great Mechanical and Laboring
classes, whose interest is involved in the lnan,e-
nance of Tariff, slower in seeing the benefits
that would accrue 10 them, by sustaining those
men who favor Protection The Locoioco party in
other portions of the State, they did in this, and
other States, skulked from placing itself directly
on the ground of absolute Free Trade. The vote,
also, of Senator Wright on the Tariff Bill, was cal
cuated to deceive many. Had he voted against
the Tariff, as no doubt he will hereafter, and had
the plain issue of Free Trade or Protection, been
understood the Wings would have carried the
State by large majority.
On the Tariff question the Locofoco party shape
their creed to any latitude. II is well known that
the leaders of the party arrayed in deadly hos
lility the system of Protection yet 10 gain votes
they become all things 10 all men. They are for
"judcious Tariff OF no Tariff, suits the time
and place. II the question can be fairly understood
aud brought to direct issue, we have no fears for
the result Let the Locoiocos repeal the Tariff,
and the Wings will rc-cnact the Revolution of

A CURIOUS CASE OF FEMALE DECEPTION.
One of those strange and almost unaccount-
able cases of deception which we hear of
once or twice in an age, was developed at
the police Office on Saturday afternoon. A
person who has for the last four years fol-
lowed the business of a tinker and teamsler
alternately in this city, and who is well
known TO many of our citizens, was brought
up before Justice Osborn, charged with
hanging out false signals-being not exactly
what outward appearances would lead hon
est and unsuspecting persons to believe
sailing under false colors. About two weeks
since this person was married to a very re-
spectacle and hard working girl, who by her
industry had laid up a considerable sum of
money. The poor girl found out in few
days that all is not gold that glitters-that
appearances are deceitful-in short, that
her dear husband was ,cOman! This be-
ing fully established to the satisfaction of all
parties, the iaithless swan-or rather de-
celtiul jade, was arrested, examined at the
police, and sent to jail A crowd ofthe Gu
rlous followed her ladyshp to her new lodg-
Ings, making many original and spirited re-
marks, called out by the novelty of the case.
NO other reason can be assigned for this
strange marriage alliance, except the desire
on the part of the husband to possess himself
OF the money which the object Of his aifec-
tons had saved up from her hard earnings
and unweared industry albany Citizen,
