THE rARIEF COMMISSION.

In order that the Tariff Commits
sion may be Of any use whatever,
says the Baltimore American, it is
necessary that its report when made
shall be such as to eutitle it TO re-
sPect. The New York Tribune in
Justifying the appointment of ex-
treme high protection men, almost
exclusively, says that the Commission
should not be "a debating club"
This may be true, but, on the other
hand, the composition Of the Com
mission ahould not be such as TO ex-
clude the idea of discussion. 1t is
not necessary that verbose ohampi-
ons of free trade should occupy the
sessions of the board but there
should be able low tariff men to
present that side of the case. No
value is attGched to the report OF
Committee on any subject if it be
supposable that it is organized to
whitewash any man or any measure
and should the belief prevail shat the
Tariff Commission is organized to
whitewash the admitted evils of the
present tariff, it's report viii not be
worth the cost Of printing. It's ad
vice nobody will take.
Now, the idea of the Commission
recognizes the fact that there are
things IN our present tariff system
that need revision. In some cases
the protection is so high that it pro
hiblts importation, end thus deprives
the National Government of it's rev.
enue iIom customs, There are other
cases where the interests intended to
be protected are suffering from over
protection: there are other cases
where protection faVors one depart
ment Of an industry, yet Injuries an
other: there may be some cases
where greater protection is needed.
The demand Tor tariff revision ia not
free trade cry in disguise; it is a
real demand for very essential
thing Thus, though the Commission
ought not to be "a debating club, p
yet IT 1t be regar led as syudlc ate
OF high protectlonists arranging a
programme Tor more protection, it
Will do moro harm than sood. Iuas-
much as it has no power except to
advise aud recommend, it ought to
take pains to make its advice accept
able.

THE RErIRESExr or OFFICERs.

1t is understood in army circles
that The Secretary OF War is prepared
to make a construction of the re-
trement clause in the Army Ap-
preparation bill which will greatly
affect officers desiring retirement
by reason Of disabilities. At present
the law limits the number OF lired
odicers- to 400. The inteusIon Of
Congress in the new Law was to
make new and additional list Of Off
GERS retired oompulsorily when they
reach the age Of G4, and Of those
asking retirement after performing
forty years service. The Secretary
it is said, is prepared 10 rule that
The new law simply makes it incum-
bent on the president to retire forty
year men when they request IL.
and the Law itself rctires officers OF
Ga years Of age. Those are to be
added 10 the present net, now nearly
if not quite full, and so long ~ the
number 400, is kept full, none can
be retired for disability. This will
make IT necessary to keep disabled
officers on the active list drawing
full pay, and preventing the pro-
motion Of men who are able to per-
form military duty.

they named is in no sense ths choice

before an illegal Convention. Mr..
Cameron was forced to nominate
somebody who could be depended

such a man in the hitherto obscure
Mr.. Broaus. His name will add no
strength to the ticket, and the
manner OF his nomination will have
no other effect than to weaken an
already desperate cause.

TIE RICTCLE.

The bicycle is becoming popular
in England. All classes of society,
or those that can afford to buy
"a machine" are adopting it as
meapg Of looomotion. Parsons, doc
tors and lawyers make professional
calls by this means, the bankers and
brokers bestride the nickle plated
steed when ru shiug to and from the
daily menrgerie on Change, the
slender haber -dasher exhibits his
form occasionally and his skill in
managing the horse that needs no
cato, and tho polioo mount the BIZ
cycle and hasten away When especial
speed is required to overtake some
fleeing suspect. 1t cannot be long
until all England will be on wheels.
When such Innovations are adoped
and The conservatism Of agea is bro
ken down the spirit OF the people
naturally runs TO excess. We ex~
pect TO hear OF lawn tennis, cricket
and other Eeli sports, being played
on wheels, prize fighting on wheels;
punch and judy shows, travelling
relreshment booths on bicycle.
This pratice may have an important
effect on the physique Of the Eng
Iish people. The prominent rotund-
ity Of person may give place to ab-
normally long shanks. The constant
lY enlarging wheel may evolve a
race Of creatures whose pedal ex-
tremities are elongated to an extent
now scarcely imaginable, while the
shortness Of the arm reach, and
rigidity Of hold required. may cause
those limbs to become shorter and

DEMtNpING TIE rIcrs.

The Martinsburg Statesman OF last
week, after declaring its columns
open at all times to any Democrat
wishing to advocate tie renomina-
tioa Of Judge Hoge or the claims Of
soy other candidate, concludes as
follows.
As to what our own course may
be editorislly, so lar as Judge Hoge
Is concerned, will depend upon his
clear vindicstion of the charge so
loudly preferred against him o hsv.
lng obtained his nomination for Con-
gress two years ago at Fairmout, by
a distinct pledge to the friends OF
Que OF the opposing candidates that
# they would concur and give him
their aid IL getting the nomination
at that time, that he would not be in
the way Of their iavorite two years
hence, and the question now pre-
sents itself, is that true or is it not ?
II 1t be true and be now disregards
his phgatel faith, 1t 70 far impeaches
his honor and veracity az to make
him unfit to represent THIS District n
Congress. Ii 1t be untrue the fa,sity
OF the charge can be and should be
promptly exposed. Certain it is il
this is shown to be false accusa ton
against him, II will remove one Of
he weightiest objections We have
against HIM for denomination.
Surrey this cannot he a question
difficult OF solution. II such au ar
rsngement was made, it must have
been made oy some person or persons
having direct interview with Judge
Hoge himself, and if such @ pledge
was given, 1t must have been to some
Que who represented Judge Hoge's
OPPONENT. Let such, therefore, come
out and ct the bottom facts bespresd
before the public.
I'VE know how Objectionable to
the people all such arrangements are,
but as Objectionable as they may be,
the man who would consent to slip
INTO Office by virtue OF such a bargain
and then violate his plighIed faith
by disregarding its obligations whilst
II may not be any Iega. dsqLahGca-
tlon for 2econd nomination, yet it
stamps the impress Of bad faith and
d!ehouor upon his name ana would
end IN be defeat at the polls, it mat
ters not how strongly entrenched hls
party triends we've in the District.
I'VE, therefore. desire to hear from
be Partieo concerned What are the
rea! iacts 10 which this case is in
volyed, before we can determine our
own course IN this pending Congress
sIonsl struggIe. The people de nand
the iuiorna;jon and it should be
forthcoming"
