Mahone and His Meth ds =.

Tbs Denver Inter Ocean takes
this sensible view of Nab one:
William Malone. OF Virginia,
will, it is announced, become q Re
publican. and somebody wants to
know what we think about it. We
think Mahone's idea of settling the
debt of Virginia was the only one
possible under the circumstances,
and the fact that the Bourbons
adopted it shows that it was we'll
based. Tne cry that Malone is a
Repudiator comes very largely
from the bendholders, and from
those vino said it would be repndi
alton to pay United States bonds in
anything but gold coin. 1t comes
very largely from the spectators
who bought up the bonds. The
question was how Virginia could
get her finances into business
shape. The Conservatives favored
lower taxes and dollar for-dollar
bonds. That made the bonds lie.
Malone favored scaling the debt and
paying it. The objection we find to
Mahons is as politician Of the
whip fiinging sort. He has learned
that that will not do. We shall not
object to fellowship with Malone,
if he will adopt the progressive
principles of Northern RepuD
leans"

ONIONS IN SOCIETY.

There is considerable agitation IL
society circles in San Francisco
over the boiled onion. A certain
Mob Hill family recently gave q
swell dinner aud included boiled
onions in the menu. This innova'
ton Was the talk of upper tendon
the next day and the excitement has
been growing ever since. The pa.
pers have been discussing the mat
ter but a. yet none of the servi 9
sheets that tody to the wealthy have
dared to print the name of tho fam
lily at whose table this. fiag'an
breech of etiquette was committed
We have half = mind to suspect
Charley Croker as the author of
the onion infamy, but of course we
do not state it as fact We saw
him eat two boiled onions in 1873,
hut would not say positively that
he has not reformed his ways dur
ing the past ten years. We are Of
the opinion that the habit OF eating
onions, once contracted. is liable to
take complete possession OF man
and make him q cringing 81 ave to
his appetite It is hinted that Stan
ferd eats onions, but we suspect
that this story was started by the
Stock on Herald, or Mail, to make
him odorcus in bis own State. If
this is merely campaign lie 1t
should bs mai ed A poor man may
eat onions with perfec: impunity,
but rich man should avoil such
grossness and cultivate more refined
astronomical tastes. If be can not
conquer his appetite for the deli
cious bulbs he can at least keep
them from his table and devoar
them at leisure after the guests
have departed. Our advice Is that
If any Mob Hitler has been guilty
Of the offsnse charged, he make
clean breast of it, and give good
and sufficient bonds to offend no
more We Can not afford to have
an onion eating aristocracy growing
up on this coast.

Butler and 81 line, whilom antagonists,
are at it again. Blaine's high tariff pro-
ciivities have evolved from his conscious
ness novel plan to keep up the tariff a.
way beyond what is needed for the sup
port of the government. His idea is to
continue the tax on whiskey and tobacco
but to have the proceeds returned to the
different Safes for use in paying their
own expenses. This would have the effect
of diminishing the treasury revenue, and
-excusing high tariff On imports, and that
is what Blaine is driving at. Buffers ans
wer is characteristic:
81 know of no warrant in the Constitution
for taxing man who produces blade of to-
bacco any more than a man who produces
blade of grass, nor for a tax On bushel of corn
made into whiskey any more than a bushel of
corn made in meal. There is difference in
sentiment about whiskey and tobacco, but no
difference in constitutional la e, so far as know
A man has as much constitutional right 10
make whiskey free of taxation as he has TO make
bread or to make tobacco free of taxation or 10
make cotton cloth free of taxation. l have al
ways looked upon the tax upon whskey and
tobacco great injustic to the States that
produce those articles; not that they may not
ultimately get the taxes back after their produce
is sold, but for the effect upon the producer.
We tax Virginia upon her great products, from
" hich alone she can realize money, up TO the
collection point, leaving her nothing to tax
upon her State industry, and then we complain
of her because she doesn't pay her own debts
Well, Mr.. Blaine proposes to keep that tax on,
and pay other peoples debts with it. In my
judgment if anything would justify rebellion,
that would"
