Pennsylvania and the Texas Pacific,


In response to the inquiry sometimes made,
whether Pennsylvania can afford to be taxed to
build highways like the Texas Pacific into new
territory for the purpose.of exporting her labor
ing population, which is to create and develop
the business that is to pay the interest on these
investments, we have only to say that neither
Pennsylvania nor any other State will be taxed
to pay the interest on these investments. but the
new wealth they will create will amply provide
for II. But Pennsylvania Will be glad II Uon-
gress will do two things: first, give employment
to the people who now idle and suffering with
in her BORDERS for want Of business; second, make
avenues. by safe, practical aid from Government,
that will enable these people to reach new fields
to make wealth for this country, and, in doing
this, start into new life the now idle mills and.
manufactures Of the whole country. PennsylVa-
MIA will be rejoiced TO anything done that will
give relief to her own and the other great inter-
csts Of other States As an illustration. the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company Is helping TO take
care OF at least eight thousand worklnSmen and
their families by giving the iron and steel works
along its various lines orders for material that II
docs not want before the coming season, but sim
ply gives to keep these men at work during the
winter. And We know oil other railway companies
IN Pennsylyania that are helping the mills on

Lo gentleman in Louisiana can tamsly submit to
the opposite party. You understand our case
exactly: We are prosecuted and put upon.
The Kellogg government has, among Its other
outrsges, been guilty of exciting the blacks
against the whites. This you, as a fair-minded
Radical, Eeem to admit by the kind tone in which
you quote our complaints. You are too much Of
gentleman to think Il right for the party to
which yCu belong to arouse the prejudice Of race
in the breast OF the domineering and irrepressi-
BILE negro. But If this continues It will be found
that the Southern Democracy have prejudices
too. Thus far we have never entertained or
expressed any hostility to the black man. You
know, by the few days you spent In Louisiana,
bow like perfect gentlemen We have always con-
Quoted ourselves toward the blacks. You have
spoken emph2tically Of this In your report. But
let the negro beware how he presses US TO the
wall Do you, my Radical friend, warn your
sociates on this point. We will not be ansWerable
for our future conduct If the blacks continue to
prosecute US. We feel as desperate as did the

back, who declared boldly to the owner that he
would kill any id sheep that bit him."

THE POOR OF WASHINGTON.

We deem it duty this morning to call
the attention Of the community to the de-
serving poor of Washington. 1t is the
season, we know, wherein is displayed in
dresses of cline purple and linen" and
costly jewels, and in tables which groan
beneath the weight Of every rare Wand the
earth produces, the wealth and splendor of
the favored few. We also know that the
fashionable world is now intensely en-
gagged in the excitement and pleasure of
parties, balls and receptions, and that money
to support all this is as free as the air. But,
in the meantime, the poor ought not to be
forgotten. There are hundreds and hundreds
in Washington to-day shiv0ring with the
cold, and actually starving for food. The
cry of distress not only comes up from the
poorer quarters of the city, but from hSmes,
if they can be called such, right in the very
midst of regal bounty and the gay notes
of dancing music. There are those who
can make their distresses known to our
committees appointed to look after the
poor; but in this, as in all large cities, there
is another class who would almost rather
perish outright than to visit as q suppliant
an almoner of public charity. The ladies
of Washington are noble and generous, and
will not, if they knew it, see a sister suffer
from want. Perhaps, however, if they de.
voted one day of the week to seeking out
and learning the true circumstances Of the
needy, and relieving them, they would
eniov more what Heaven has kindly he.
slowed as their share of this worlds
goods. If the rich are ignorant of these
things Mrs. Stickney can tell them much.
and Mr.. Solomons can enlighten them.
Where there is a will there is a way, and
this morning, in behalf Of the worthy
and suffering poor of Washington, we ap-
peal to the rich to lay up for themselves
treasures in heaven by systematic and
personal efforts to relieve want.

acting chief of the customs division Of his
Office. The decision of the court below
might easily have been accepted upon
plausible grounds. But the legal mind of
Gen. Bristow preferred taking it to the
Supreme Court. The latter tribunal has
always maintained reputation above sus-
picion, upon all commercial questions es-
pecially. Its decisions are rendered at a
point far removed from the interests in
volved, and are made up entirely upon a
profound knowledge of questions of law,
and total ignorance Of the persons to be az
fected by them.
Under these circumstances this decision
will afford entire satisfaction to the com
mercisl community and the people at large;
but it will be bitter pill for some of the
non-producing spectators who fondly
counted upon realizing thousands from the
success of their schemes.

MIR. FERNANDO WOOD has been in
structing the merchants of New York who
''have paid higher rates Of duty" on the
same articles since the act of June 90,
1874, to write and let him know all the
facts in the case, as the Secretary of the
Treasury "denies that any change of rates
has been made" The fsllacy of the above
statement is palpable to the intelligent
reader at once. The Secretary, in reply to
Mr. Woods resolution, said in effect that
careful revision of the laws imposing duties
showed that some laws had ceased to have
effect on December l, 1873, which the
Treasury Department had, under a pre-
vious administration, construed to be in
effect. BY this revision the construction
of the courts and Of the committee had
been followed regardless of the practice of
the Department where the latter appeared
to have been in error, and while the re.
suit worked no change in the law, it was
agreed that in some instances it had worked
q change in rates. But this could all have
been done by the Department through
change Of regulations and decisions re-
versing those Of previous administrations
which were found erroneous if ii had been
deemed advisable. Thus far the courts
have sustained all the decisions of Secre-
tary Bristow which have been brought be-
fore them. 1t is a small and very con-
temptible matter for one of Mr.. Woods
cminence to bubble about in his present
time of life and political position. He
knows as well as any one that the Secre-
tury's answer was clear, full and to the
point, and, withal, so well fortified that he
cannot controvert its propriety. We know
that in earlier life he was quite familiar
with mercantile affairs, even to double
invoices" and it is useless for him to plead
ignorance.

BEFORE the Independent Press begins to
attack the President for his recommends
tion that the heavy ordnance for the ar

due the White League. Sheridan accom-
