JUDGE BLACK ON THE TARIFF.

A few DAYS before Judge Black died he
was interviewed by New York Heraid
correspondent. The famous lawyer and
statesman, among other things, declared
that mo man can he good democrat
who believes in tariff for projections"
and on being asked what he believed
would he the position of the two parties
on the tariff question in 1884, he said:
He believed the republicans would
straddle the tariff question, as they always
have done that they would endesvOr to
have the democratic party commit itself
to the same principle of protection as the
republicans professed, their object being
to get both parties in such position that
they could appeal to the people for their
support on the ground of being better pro
tectlonists than the democrats; but their
plan would not work. In speaking of the
democrats the Judge said that they must
meet the tariff question boldly-it has be
come too broad for democrats to attempt
TO straddle; they must declare for tariff
for revenue only, adjusted to meet the
demands of the government administra.
ton with strict integrity and in the most
economical manner All internal taxes
must be abolished, and in order to make
up the amount now collected as internal
revenue the tariff must be reduced. For
instance, said Judge Black, we now col
lect 81 500 year on wooden blankets.
Reduce the tariff to ten per cent. ad
valorem and we would collect $25, 900,
900 in duties on imported blankets. The
same thing applies to barbed wire, car
pets, clothing, and everything the poor
man requires to wear or use in his
house"

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent

From our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, D. c.. Aug 80, 1888.
The opinion expressed day or two
since by Judge Lawrence, first comptroller
of the treasury, that congress has power
to regulate Western Union telegraph
rates, is probably sound, from Il legal
standpoint Judge Lawrence, though
somewhat of a crank in his methods
and practice as an official, is universally
conceded to be a good constitutional
lawyer, whose views may be generally
accepted with confidence. He says it is
an outrage that the Western Union COM
pany, which is in law a common carrier,
should be allowed to take property worth
SIS, 900, 900, water it to $4,000, 900, and
then tax the community to pay large
dividends The proposition that no man
is entitled to more than he can earn is a
false one and very dangerous to promul-
gate in country like this, where the
chief peril lies in the possibility of com
munism as the population grows so dense
as to make the struggle for life becomes
more close. Every man is entitled to
what he can honestly gain, but not bene-
fits conferred by charter at the expense
of the people beyond Legitimate amount.
Congress has power given to it to fix the
rates on railroads in the constitutional
prerogative to regulate commerce between
the states; the municipalities decree what
street railroads should charge and the
Tariff of the hack driver, and Why should
not the telegraph companies be dealt with
in the same sp:rit2 He would not dare to
predict what would be done, under ex-
ixting conditions, but spoke confidently
as to the power of congress in the premises.
There is strong feeling here that the
time has come for congress to take some
action concerning this Western Union
monopoly and is is expected that the
coming season will see it done Whether
the new postal telegraph company
will develop into formidable
rival of the old opticus is not yet clear,
but the prevailing opinion is that gov
eminent postal telegraph is on9 of the
certainties of the near future. Yet there

The Washington Monument has begun
to assume a needle like form and to pierce
the clouds somewhat as it will do when
completed. A close study of it from an
artistic point of view shows that it can

suggests that it may very well be allowed
to stand as the last of the efforts in the
direction Of unmeaning bulk in our me
moral structures. We will soon have
built up to $50 feet. an altitude greater
than tho pyramids: We are not likely to
60 any higher. Now let this remain

lshment which perpetGates an honored
name while beneftting the people at large
Like the Garfield Hospital, library or
college. Next to that comes structures,
like a triumphal arch closing q vista, or
combining ornament with use, like a
drinking fountain, or teaching lessons in
history, like tropy or grong of statues
with proper bas rclicfs Last of all come
obelisks that merely seek to stun by their
prodigiOus size or brass etfigles without
even name to identify them for the

There is not place on the beach front
that was not damaged to some extent by the
high tide and heavy surf Wednesday. The
total loss will not be less than SIS, 600.
Long before high water, which was at
six o'clock, the broad walk began to
wash away, and by high water the beach
along the center of the city was mass of
debris. Bath-houses, restaurants, photo
graph galleries and stores with dwellings
attached, which were built so far from the
surf that it was thought no sea could reach
them, were undermined, carried bodily into
the ocean, and beaten by the waves into
fragments.
The surf was by far the heaviest seen
here. The branch of the Camden j At
lantic Railroad Company along the beach
front, from this place to South Atlantic
City, was badly washed, and the passengers
who took the late train to this place were
compelled to abandon the train and walk
five and half miles. All the railroad
tracks between here and Absecom, except
the West Jersey, are submerged. AT one
time the waves beat over the railroad into
