CesSiye Taxes.

CCSSAVC a ACSs
Having made a mistake, as he
thought, in his message to Congress
year ago in recommending a de-
parture from the republican policy
of high taxes and lavish expenditure,
President Arthur in his message of
Tuesday last renews his allegiance to
it's time honored principles. He pre-
fers to go with it rather than to guide
it. He. does not doubt that further
reduction of taxation may he made,
and estimates the surplus revenue at
$50, 900 annually, but he makes
no Ineligible suggestion looking to
an effort to put that much back into
the pockets of taxpayers. On the
contrary, all his recommendations of
positive character have in view
only the using up of the surplus. He
deprecates further tariff discussion.
Things are we'll enough as they are.
Such is the meaning of his recon-
mendation that the navy should be
rehabilitated and our coast fortifica-
tions reconstructed - undertakings
that would consume $60,000,000 an
nually for an indefinite number, OF
years. In word, the great issues
of lower taxes and cheaper govern
ment, now occupying the minds OF
the people, find scant attention in
the Presidents message. 1t does not
keep step with the progress OF
thought on economic questions in
this since 1880. The leader of the
republican party points to no goal
that the country cares to reach.-Sun.

Prof. r. L. Cumnock, under the
auspices of the Lecture Association,
gave most excellent entertainment
at the M. E. Church last Thursday
evening. The audience was very
small, but evidently made up in ap-
preciative quality what it lacked in
quantity. We have no hesitation in
pronouncing Prof. Cumnock's elocu-
tionary performances the best ever
given in Morgantown to our knowl-
edge. We cannot conceive how any
one could keep from laughing during
his rendition Of humorous selections.
While in the story of "Connor," his
mastery of the pathetic was demon
strated by the perfect stiffness that
pervaded the house during its entire
performance and even after it's close.
One seemed to, be even in the midst
of the battle when he rendered the
well known "Charge of The Light
Brigade" considered by many the
best performance of the evening.
We understand that it is the inten-
ton of the Lecture Association to
endeavor to secure Prof. Cumnock
again. We hope that they will do SO,
and we feel sure that they can de
pend on large house when he comes
again.

THE CHINESE RESTRICTION ACT.
Legislation Urged by Pacific Coast Mem
bers to Cure Its Defects.

bers to Cure Its Defects.
WASHINGTON, Dec. IA meeting of mem
bers of Congress from the Pacific coast States
was held to-day. Present, Senators Dolph
and Slater and Representatives George, Rose
Grams, Sumner, Glasscock, Budd, Henley,
Tulley and Cassidy. Senator Miller presided.
The object of the meeting was to secure
unanimity among the Pacific coast represent
atives and senators in respect TO legislation
by this Congress in the interests of the peo-
pie of the the Pacific coast, especially in re-
spect to curing defects in the present Chinese
restriction act. 1t was known that several
members were pre- paring bills covering the
matter, but it was felt by those calling the
meeting that it would be better to have all
representatives of that section unite upon q
plan of action.
The meeting discussed the evasion of the
law by Chinese immigrants, who were furn-
ished certificates by Chinese authorities en-
titling them to enter the country as belong
ing to the classes privileged by law, and
finally agreed that a bill to remedy the de-
fects of the present law be prepared and in
troduced simultaneously in both houses as
the joint work Of the Pacific coast delega-
ions.
A committee consisting of Senator Dolph
and Representatives Henley and Cassidy was
appointed to draw up a bill and submit
it to a meeting of the delegation next week.
The meeting discussed several other mat
ters of local interest, among them the neces-
stiles of the coast in the matter of
river and harbor Improvements and public
buildings, but the discussion was informal
and subordinate to the question of Chinese
restriction. Representative Cassidy, one Of
the committee appointed, favors the adoption
of a system of passports for Chinese immi-
grants, to be viSed by United States consuls
before the persons holding them can go
aboard of vessels for the United States. This
was one of the features of the twenty year,
restriction bill vetoed by President Arthur.

Quoted the negotiations upon the part of the
Indians. In settling up with Phillips, Bou-
was short 500. 800. He asked Phillips to ex-
plain the deficiency, and charged him with a
personal defalcation. Phillips, being driven
in a corner, said that he had been obliged
to pay over this money to two officials
70 secure the appropriation. Mr.. Boudinot
demanded the names of the men. He says
that Mr.. Phillips then admitted or rather
charged in his own defense, that he had paid
one-half OF the amount to Secretary Teller
and the other half to Senator Dawes, the
chairman of the Indian affairs committee in
the Senate. Mr.. Boudinot has since that
prepared a memorial reciting these charges,
and will address it to the Senate, asking for
an investigation.
Senator Dawes was asked about this charge
this evening. He denied it Indignantly and
said he thought his career in public life was
such as to need no disproof from him. He
was glad an investigation was to be had. He
courted the fullest inquiry.
Secretary Teller was also interviewed. He
SAID he was investigating the charges, and as
soon as he found which one of the two men
-Boudinot or Phillips-was responsible for
the charge he would take summary action to
test their charges at once. He, too, courts a
full inquiry.
There does not appear to be any doubt
about the deficiency. Where it is gone will
be rigidly investigated. Phillips was in the
old free-soil days in Kansas a correspondent
of the New York Tribune.

ton on the Island of Java.
Boston, Dec. Capt. ]. w. Baker, of the
bark William II. Besse, of Wareham, arrived
here this morning, 1875 days from Manila,
and related the following story of the terri
BILE eruptions on the island OF Java: "We
sailed from Manila May %, with a fair
breeze and everything favorable for a speedy .
passage home. We sailed along through the
China sea until, when thirty days out, we
were near the straits of Sunda, between Java
and Sumatra. There we had heavy weather,
and in the night ran upon a rock which is
not down on the charts, We were damaged
considerably in the hull, and had to put in
at Batavia. We then found it necessary to
return to Manila, which we did at once, and
after short delay we set sail once more for
home. Thus it happened that we We're near
Java at the time OF the great earthquake
there in the latter part of August. We left
Batavia again on Aug. 26. At sunrise the
next morning, when we were distant from
Bezee island about five miles, we saw a heavy
bank rising from the westward. At the same
time the barometer began to fall rapidly and
vary in the most extraordinary manner. 1t
fell to 29.40, and then suddenly bounced up
to 80. 20. The bank kept rising and growing
more dense, and at last covered the whole
sky and filled the atmosphere and COM
pletely obscured the sun. 1 ordered all
hands on deck, and every sail was quickly
furled. We let the port anchor go, and none

fall. At the same time the wind rose and
blew harder and harder, until at 400 we
were in the midst OF a perfect hurricane.

A Nihillst Describes the Horrors of a Rus

ONSCA ADCo INV u d III
sian Prison.
LONDON, Dec. IA Paris correspondent
forwards a second letter, written IN blood, by
a Nihilist in Trobletskoi fort at st. Peters
burg. 1t describes narrowing treatment of
prisoners, and says their food is often
mouldy, sometimes putrid; dysentery and
scurvy are prevalent, and the doctors
are afraid to touch the patients. A few
medicines are prescribed, and when ordered
are generally countermanded. The prisoners
rot away and exhale the odors of dead bodies
before life is extinct. The number of those
who go mad in consequence of their suffer-
ings is daily increasing. The madmen are
strapped down and whipped with a knout by
the keepers. Fierce yells resound through
out the night. Many prisoners have com
mitted suicide.
1t is said that one woman was outraged
and then poisoned, but no inquiries into the
affair were instituted. Rats are the worst
babe was obliged to be constantly on the
watch and fight day and night to prevent the
rats devouring her child. The use of combs
and soap is forbidden, and the prisoners,
especially women, whose hair is allowed to
grow, are literally devoured by lice. The
jailers are only kind to those having money.
The prisoners who refuse to reply to ques-
tions are tortured, and cases of the violation
of women are frequent.
The writer especially appeals to the civil
lied world in behalf of the women in prison,
whose situation, he says, is far worse than
that of the men.
