TIE future Of the Democracy is
now in the hands Of House o! Rep
resentativee, and oil Governors and
Legislatures. whom the people have
put on trial for the second time in
eight years. They have had
no such opportunity in a quarter Of
a century. If they are equal to it,
and alive to the reasonable demands
oil the country, any proper candidate
for the Presidency can be elected in
1884. If they fail more vigorous
organization will succeed to this
great opportunity, and carry off it's
honors and lite rewards. No prophet
is needed to make tbs plain predict

NN SHc OapttOn OF now snail
reduction OF the revenue be madeo
the Weeling Register Of Tuesday
contains a very timely and well con-
sidered editorial article. 1t says;
Since the people were heard from
there seems to be no division OF SEN
timent upon the propriety of reduc.
ing the revenues Of the Government.
The point upon which parties will
divide is as to how the reduction
shall be made.
Shall the entire internal revenue
syst em be abolished, and no reduc-
tons be made 10 the duties on in
ports 7 Or shall the taxes on whisky
aud tobacco be retained and sub
stantial reductions made in the tariff?
Or shall there be both total abo.i-
ton OF the internal revenue system
and a reduction Of import duties to
q revenue basis
There will be advocates of all
these plans, enough, perhaps, to
talk away the entire time OF the next
sessIon without accomplishing either.
But upon the improperly and
uselessness OF maintaining two sys-
TENS OF taxation when one will suffice
when the duties on imports which
must be maintained will produce all
the revenue required by the gov
ernment--is drawing TO the support
OF the advocates of the entire aboli
tio1 Of the internal taxes, many OF
the most influential men in both par
ties.
1t is entirely practicable that the
internal revenue be abolished, aud
the exorbitant tax es in the shape of
duties be reduced at the came time.
1t ia believed thst repeal of the
internal revenue system would
strengthen the demand for tariff
REVISION, for the reason that there are
numerous articles on the tariff list
which bring no income to the treae-
ury because he tariff is so high as to
be almost prohibitory, and If more re-
veuueis needed they must reduce
the tariff in this regard to a revenue
basis. Ii the prohibitory duty on
blankets, Tor instance, were reduced
would be revenue for the govern
ment, and the millions of consu mers
would be benefited at the came time.
50 in the case Of sugar, salt, &C., g.. |
The internal tax system is 80 obi
GUS, 80 antagonistic to A merica idea
OF government, that meny will favor
its abolition regardless Of the effect
upon the revenues. They want to
get rid of the army of ten thousand
assessors, inspectors, spies, informe
detectives, deputies, supervisors,
and armed police to which the eye
tenn gives employment, aud turn
these men into the iudpstrisl pur-
suits, il so be they are fit Tor anything
useful.
But agiDst the entire repeal of the
tax on W hisky and tobacco there will
be arrayed not only the powerful in
terests engaged in the manufact ure
Of thess articles. but strong senti-
ment that they are fit Obi cs OF tax
alton as Injuries. And yet the very
fact that the tax serves to protect
and promote monopolies that have
grown to enormous proportions uu-
de- it, will be urged as a strong rea-
son why the taxes on whisky an / to-
bacco should 90 also.
The subject will be one Of absorb
ing interest from this time on until
it is settled by definite action in
Congress.

THE use OF tobacco among school
boys has become 80 prevalent Of late
that the attention of teachers aud
others interested in our schools is be-
ing attracted toward it as great and
growing evil. Whatever may be said
either for or against the practice OF
using tobacco by those who are men
grown. it's injurious effects upon the
physical and moral nature of young
boys du ring the formative years of
their lives cannot be denied. Any
work undertaken to rcd uce the alarm
ing prevalence OF this practice is
worthy OF commentator.

THERE is food for thought in the
following from the Dayton Democrat
for tbose Republicans who think the
party can safely trust 10 Democratic
blunders TO restore it to power in
the lower House OF Congress In 1884.
"a political party that has Ueen in
power continuously for more than
twenty years exhibits signs of decay
aud weakness when it openly admits
that its future success is dependent
alone upon the possible blunders to
be made by the opposite party. This
is the position in which the Repub-
ltcaa purity now places itself.

JAY hUBBELL approached JOHN
WHITE, the sole Republican repre-.
sentative from kentucky, and IN
menacing manner said: 81 will beat

threat was launched because WHITE
had dared to oppose the wishes OF the
imperious HupBELL. WHITE
HUBBELL to do his worst. He be-
came the candidate of the Rspub-
licans OF his district ss their fret and
only choice. During the csnyass
which he conducted personally on
the stump, WHITE frequently referred
TO HUBBELLs threat, and Appealed
IRON the dictator to the people, at
the same time denouncing HUBBELL
and his methods. Although opposed
by MATT. ADAMS, an able and popu ar
Democrat, WHITE was elected by A
decisive majority. hundreds of Dem
ocrats giving him their votes az the
most direct way to rebuke HUBELL
and the methods he introd uced into
