The Next Issue.

Politics is now reduced solely to
a consideration of the tariff All
other matters are subordinated to
this and it is made the determin-
ing issue between the two great
parties. The late elections spoke
nightly upon this matter directly,
though it must be confessed that
the public idea was crude and
scarcely intelligent. The revenue
is necessarily the life of the govern
ment-the most important of all
questions-and yet it is a subject the
details and ramifications of which
the public stand in profoundest ig-
norance. We are going to under
stand it now, however, for it has
come to the knowledge of the peo-
pie that it covers q multitude of
sins and that sharp men have hid
behind it to pile up fortunes out of
the peoples pockets. The republi-
cans have held their grip long and
well, until most of their leaders
have grown rich, either by being
engaged directly in some manufac-
turing monopoly or in pay of the
barons. They see now the inevita-
bic reform that is coming and they
are Fastening like drowning rats to
floating timbers. They propose to
forestall the democrats in reforming
the tariff and hope to meet the popu-
lar demand before 1884 so that
they may claim the credit and per
petuate their power. They dare
not go the full length of reform,
however, for their bosses and ba-
rons will not permit them, but they
hope by a show of reform, relying |
upon popular ignorance, to bridge |
over this matter What the cOun-
try wants is absolute free trade mod
flied by tariff which shall be for
revenue only and in no wise for
protection. Indeed, Hon. Sam. |
Randall, one of the strongest high |
tariff men IN the country, now says |
that the constitution does not per
nit a tariff for protection. Pre-
suming on the ignorance Of the
country, however, they propose to
amend The revenue instead of the
tarlf. The former affects only the
government and does not touch the
protected monOpolies. See their
proposition:
First-rO reduce the tax on whisky
% ii ty cents. This will cut off $50, 900,
600
Second-To reduce the tax on tobac-
60 10 eight cents, and on cigars 10 SO,
which will cause reduction OF $22,-
100000
Third-A reduction of the beer
AK TO fifty cents would amount TO
81 100000.
Fourth-Reduce special taxes to the
lowest amount necessary TO secure a
proper supervision OF the government :
over the dealers, say S4,0u0O00.
Finh--A bolish the tax on matches,
bank checks and all other articles, !
iI2,OOO,OOI
This takes from the government |
7S,O0I.OOO annually upon articles '
at ought to be taxed even higher /
an they are, except the fifth i
lause. The country does not want /
hat and will not be satisfied with
B. 1t wants our ports opened to
)reign competition in all manner
f goods that the people consume
D that they may not have to pay =
lilliOns tribute to rich and grind I
lg mOnopolies. The details are not o
lady to be discussed yet, but this W
the great leading idea to keep in K
ew. The country must beware of .
is sham reform and not be III
inded into submission to a skim W
ing process that makes matters u
)rse instead of better. "

Rev. N. NJ. Long.

The differences between this
young divine and his prcsbytery
have been settled, as the following
from a Memphis paper indicates.
He resisted the authority of the
presbytery only in continuing to
preach to the independent Strangers
Church, where he felt he was doing
good. He is sustained very strong
ly by his church and is greatly be-
loved:
The case Of Rev. N. NJ. Long, of
the Strangers Church of Memphis,
has been settled amicably and
honorably to all concerned. The
Synod at Florence decided that the
proceedings before the Memphis
presbytery did not constitute trial,
and that therefore it was not an
appealable case. The presbytery
met separately at Florence and
adopted some very conciliatory
resolutions, amounting really to an
olive branch, but stating firmly that
if Mr.. Long continued to resist the
authority of the presbytery it would
become necessary to institute pro
ceedings whereby he would be
placed upon trial. Thereupon Mr..
Long decided to withdraw from the
jurisdiction of the presbytery, if al
lowed to do so, without prejudice or
censure. This was granted cheer
fully and courteously, and he was
given a certificate accordingly. Mr..
Longs name was dropped from the
roll as a member of the presbytery.
He is no longer amenable to that
body, nor is it reponsible for his
course. This ends the matter and
all seem we'll satisfied. Mr.. Long
is simply an Independent Presby-
terrain minister. He could join an
other presbytery, or even thiS one,
now or in one or five years, provided
he could stand a satisfactory eX-
animation according to the rules
and forms of the Presbyterian
Mr.. Long stated the facts
of the case at some length last night
to very large and interested con-
gregation, and gave expressions of
the kindest feeling toward those,
one in particular, with whom he had
been engaged in a spirited contro-
versy, and asked the members of
the church and his friends to con
slider the matter settled in a fair
christian spirit. Two ministers who
the Synod were present
last night and sat on the platform
with him. The brethren, it seems,
have very properly and wisely settled
their honest differences of opinion
Dy agreeing to disagree and yet to
cooperate better than ever in a
cause and work. A lawyer
'acetiously whispered last night.
The bill is dismissed without

Giles College Chips.
HEMN BY THE BOYS.

Only a little over four weeks till
Christmas-hrrrah! There are 80
of US this sessiOn-the number to
which our school IS limited. We
keep our three teachers pretty busy.
Some have already enrolled their
names for next term. They do not
want to get left as several did on
this term by being too late. Prof
Guthrie has recently fitted up rooms
at the College and is now occupy
ing them. Mrs. Guthrie's piano
has arrived and the college choir"
is already in full blast. The
Giles College Literary Society
meets every Friday night. The
question for debate at last meeting
was Money or woman" Besides
the literary society we devote two
hours each week to literary exer
cises in the school rooms. These
exercises consist of compositions,
letter writings, debates, discussions
on a given subject, dictation exer-
cises, declarations, select readings
etc. On last Monday
we were required to write a short
biography of an imaginary charac
Jones. The week before
we discussed The advantages of an
education" The young men in
the messing club seem to be get
ting along nicely. Those who
board at the College and in town
and who ride in from the country
in all about 30.

The start route thieves are to be
prosecuted with n vengeance at the
new trial which commences next
week. Their money enabled them
before to buy up public opinion
and to raise the hue and cry Of
prosecution. The president has
come TO the rescue and last Satur-
day removed from office the dis
trict marshall, the postmaster and
his assistant, Foreman Helm of the
government printing Office, and Di-
rector Spencer, for using their office
and powers to aid in screening the
robbers and heaping calumny and
abuse on the prosecution. How
much the democratic victory has TO
do with this sudden spasm of hon
esty can be conjectured 10y an intel
ligent public.

great addition (were it possible to add

1t will be seen from this state
ment that New Mexico is the most
illiterate and Iowa the least, and
that as a section the southern states
South Carolina, Louisiana, Ala
bama, Georgia, Mississippi, North
Carolina, Florida, Virginia, Arkan-
sas, Tennessee, Texas, Kentucky
and Maryland, in the order named
are more illiterate than the states
of any other portion of the country
That is to say, the greatest proper
tion of illiteracy is in the southern
states, and of the rest of the country
the per centages range about the
same in the eastern and the western
states and territories.

A Few Dam ThOughts.

The World last Sunday said the
Mississippi River investigating com
mittee would pass up the Decatur
road that evening We went down
to the 4 o'clock train to give Mr..
Carlisle an opportunity to cleo
tioneer with us, as we had learned
that he was a candidate for speaker
of the house. We also wanted to
employ the committee, since it had
inspected the Mississippi and had
learned something about water and
things, to settle a question in re-
spect to Richland creek. The facts
are these: There are two mill
dams near each other here and one
is said to infringe or impinge upon
the other. 1t is said the upper dam
is not above the lower dam by a
dams height, and that consequent
ly 1t is not a dam site, although
there is in reality a dam sight. The
lower dam dams the water up to the
other dam and the dam water makes
the other dam little account. The
parties themselves have settled this
dam controversy in the courts, but
the public are anxious, and as the
committee have had little else to do
than to break off the necks of cham
payne bottles ana play with cork
screws for a week or two, and as we
wanted a dam item, we concluded
to give them job. The committee
received us very kindly and appoint
ed Mr.. Carlisle to make the recep-
ton speech-or perhaps they would
have done it if they had been there.
We found that the World had led
us into an egregious mistake and
nearly as much mud, and we felt
like kicking ourselves all the way
back up town by special request.
When the World makes such a bow
legged statement again we'd be glad
it would withhold our copy till for

The republicans will attempt to
forestall the democrats by reform
ing the tariff before the latter are
sworn in. 1t is best thus. The
democrats forced them to it, and
when they do it themselves they
will be held responsible for any
defects.
