Mr.. CarIisle,s Opinion.

From the 4ssociuted Press Dispatches.
Mr. Carlisle very freely expressed his
views as to the policy that should be plir-
sued by the majority in the House. lie
said he recognized the fact that it was the
principle of which he was the rapresen a
tive that had elected him, and it was some
thing to be thankful for that the Demo-
cratic party had at last realized that a
principle a1ft citing a great majority Of the
PEOPLE was vastly more important to the
party and country than the success Of any
man He interpreted his election to mean
that from this time forth the Democratic
party would 90 to the people with an ag-
gressiye and definite policy, and adhere to
it because it was right and deserved to
win He said that the committees would
be organized with view solely TO the fit
ness Of the members for the various sub
iects Of legislation that would command
the attention of Congress, and without un-
due regard to their relations to him in the
recent contest.

A Railroad Commission.


Discussion is what is wanted for the
more discussion, the more enlightenme mt,
and then the safe conclusion as to the pol
icy OF the adoption or rejection Of the
creation Of a Railroad Commission for
North Carolina will be reached. In our
inexperience upon the subject, we are
compelled to study the operations Of the
system in other States. In some States it
has worked benetically. In others, so far
as it has been applied, it threatens to work
diSastrOus1y.
From the charlotte Observer, Dec. l.
With such financial showing as we have
made for our railroad stockholders, we
think they need and should have encour-
agement at the hands of the people rather
than wholesale abuse and unjust and arbi-
trary legislation.
From the Salisbury Watchaaon.

a Railroad Commission to look after the
interests of the people in these institutions
than ever before.

The nomination Of Mr.. Carlisle is in no
sense a personal triumph, not even for the
distinguished and brilliant Kentuckian
who has won it, He stood for a principle,
and that principle has prevailed. His Sc
lection by his political associates in the
House i, therefore, the triumph of prin-
cple This may be briefly stated 70 be a
resolute purpose on the part Of the Demo-
Gratis Of the United States to limit taxation
to the uses Of the Government ecOnoml-
cally administered The over
Whelming character of Mr.. Carlisle's vic
tory and Mr.. Randall's defeat is a suffi-
cient answer to the Wretched sectlOnallsm
which obtruded itself into the contest.
There was never any body to this.
From the Charleston Netcs and Courier.
The nomination OF Mr.. Carlisle for
Speaker is grand victory for the people
in the struggle for low taxation by and
through a tariff for revenue only. 1t gives
new health and strength and hope to the
Democratic party. No longer can it be
said that the Democracy have no princi-
pies which they dare to avow or practice.

Mr. A. II. Mcclure, the editor Of the
Philadelphia Times, has written: ''There
is the widest JOY among the old Republl-
can line over the sectional and free trade
issue so distinctly made by the nomination
of Mr.. Carlisle.'' He regards the election
of Mr.. Carlisle as calamity. and ex-
presses the opinion that it will enable the
Republicans, on a sectional issue. to carry
the country with either Arthur, Blaine or
Grant.
The Philadelphia Times, says, further
''It is probable that when these results
must be faced, both North and South will
be heard, and the Democrats may find
only one escape from their monumental
follv-that of taking Randall for Presi-
dent and making the rejected stone the
head Of the cOrner.'
From Ute Ne10 orleans Picayat1ae (De7n.)
We sincerely trust that Mr.. Carlisle will
rise superior to the free trade convictions
which have made his opinions on the tariff,
and instead of permitting the Democratic
party in the nation to be hampered in the
campaign of 1884 by the reawakened fears
of the business community, will rather
allay tIese fears by a course so studiOusly
conservative as to win for himself the prize
in the National Convention.

HOW HIS ELECTION HAS GIVEN
DEMOCRACY A NEW START.

WASHINGTON. December ).

Special Correspondence Of the Chronicle.
WAsHINGToN, December ;.
The result Of Mr.. Carlsle's election will
be TO give the tariff reform wing Of the
Democratic party the predominance not
only in this Congress, but likewise IN all
party action henceforth. In short. the pre-
val. .ng opinion of conservative leaders is
that it has saved the Democratic party If
Mr. Randall had been elected, and the Ma
tional Democracy next year had Winked
at protection or had allowed il to remain
unrebukcd, there would have been sun
dering of old parties before the campaign
of 1888. The genuine old Democracy and
the reforming element of the Republican
party those persons (not small either in
number or influence who hold the creed Of
the New York Erening ost, and the New
y Ork Times, aud those who believe what
old Senator Van Wyck (Rer.) Of Nebraska
prcachts would have formed Revenue
Reform party, under some name or other;
the Republican party would have remained
the losing Protectionist party, (as it now ls)
and Heaven only knows what would have
become of the Protectionist Democrats.
On the other hand the election OF Mr.. Car
Isle keeps the National Democracy on this
important and only really vital question
precisely where it has so long been. Mr.
Carlisle, of course is not in favor Of radi-
cal overralid reductions Of the tariff
but his objective point is the reduction Of it
to the revenue basis.
His election, therefore, is nothing more
nor less than the Democratic party's asser
ton of it's own preservation, and OF its des-
tiny to win. 1t is the most important pO-
htical event that has occurred within ten
years. 1t is q declaration that the Democ-
racy pledges itself to this reform and stakes
it's life on it, And it cannot lose
The pre- dction that it will cost the Dem
ocrats the loss Of New York next year is
only prediction. But, If it should cause
such loss, it will cause the gain OF enough
Western States to compensate for it.

AYERS CATHARTIC PILLS are the best
of all purgatives for family use. They
are the product of long, laboriouS, and
successful chemical investigation, and
their extensive use, by physicians in
their practice, and by all civilized na-
tions, proves them the best and most
effectual purgative Pill that medical
science can devise. Being purely veg
etable no harm can arise from their
use, and being sugar-coated, they are
pleasant to take. In intrinsic value
and curative powers no other Pills
can be compared with them; and every
person, knowing their virtues, will
employ them, when needed. They
keep the system in perfect order, and
maintain in healthy action the whole
machinery of life. Mild, searching and
effectual, they are especially adapted
to the needs of the digestive apparatus,
arrangements of which they prevent
and cure, if timely taken. They are
the best and safest physic to employ
for children and weakened constitu-
tons, where n mild but efectual
cathartic is required.

Death OF Judge Black.

York, Pa. Aug. 19.-Judg
Jeremia S. Black died at his resi-
dence, 'Brackie.' near this city, a
ten minutes past two o'clock thi
morning, in his seventy-fourtt
year. The illness which culmi
mated in his death began about
week ago. Operations for stric
ture OF the urinary organs were
performed on Monday, Tuesda,
and Wednesday for tie purpose o
atfording temporary relief, and th'
final operation, on Thursday morn
ing. Notwithstanding the fave
able bulletins in regard to his con-
dition, it was the opinion Of thos,
best qualified to know that he
could not survive. The direc
cause OF his death was taxiemia, 6
poisonous condition of the blood
caused by absorption OF retained
urinary constituents prior to the
final operation. On Saturday
morning Judge Blacks condition
seemed somewhat more favorable,
but the physicians recognized the
tact that the apparent improve
ment did not justify hope for his
recovery. DR.. McKainnon, oil
York, who remained with the
patient all yesterday, shortly after
four O'Clock in the afternoon noticed
the approach of unfavorable symp-
toms, rapid respiration and rest
lessness. About six o'clock DR..
McKainnon of York, was relieved
by DR.. Meisenhelder, of York, who
also noticed the decided change that
had taken place during his absence
and increasing gravity Of symp-
toms which indicated his approach
ing end. From that time he
gradually grew worse, lis breath
ing increasing in rapidity without
abatement in other symptoms, and
there seemed to be gradual
general failure Of all the vital forces
lie was conscious to within a few
moments Of his death and passed
away without a struggle. Mrs
Judge Black, Lieutenant Governor
and Mrs. Black, Mr.. Henry Black,
OF Franklin county, Mr.. and Mrs
Hornsby, A. B. Farquhar and DR.
Meisenhelder were with him at the
time OF his death.
