Judge Bond, of the U. s. Circuit Court,
has made decision adverse to Coupon
Killer No. 2. A. A. Smith, citizen of
Virginia, rendered his coupons for taxes
and they were refused. Tue Treasurer
levied on Smiths property for the tax.
Smith in turn sued the Treasurer for
trespass. in the Richmond Circuit Court,
and removed the case to Judge Bond s
court. Judge Bond decided that the cou-
pom killer No. 2, of January 2eth, 1882.
instructing the Treasurer to levy on
property after the owner had rendered
coupons, was unconstitutional and void,
and the Treasurer was therefore guilty of
trespass. The CourG directed that jury
inquire into and assess the damages for
the trespass. The case will be appealed
to the United States Supreme Court
which has already decided adversely to
Judge Bonds views.

cause, protection has utterly failed to
sustain its promised prosperity"

CURRENT COMMENT.

Chicago Inter Ocean: Since the cleo
ton nearly everything has dropped In
price except whisky.
Washington Post: A little boy in one
of the city German schools, while engaged
in defining words few days since, made
a mistake which was not mistake. He
said: "a demagogue is a vessel that
holds beer, wine, gin, whisky, or any other
kind of intoxicating liquor"
Philadelphia Times: 1t would be bet
ter to pass Senator Mitchells pension
bill for General Grant than not to pass
any bill recognizing his claim upon the
gratitude of the country; but it would be
much more appropriate and much more
creditable to both the country and Gen
eral Grant, to place him on the retired
list as general of the army.
Louisville Times: There are few ave-
nues open to the colored youth. The
number who have capital is limited, and
necessity forces them to take melial
places In hotels, on railroads, In stores
and in private families. The great danger
that threatens the future of the negro is
the forced ignorance of them as to trades.
| 1t must be met and overcome.
Washington Republicans: Cleveland
| therefore, cannot be mugwump. He
| said truly when he told the Jerseymen
| that his administration would be Demo
cratic. Necessity compels it to be. The
Democratic party blunders sometimes
but nowhere In city, State and'NatiOn has
| it made the blunder of not taking the
offices when they were within reach.
| Toledo Commercials Telegram: The
fact that Governor Cleveland requested
----o.~.Di pa s11ou HIS son 10 make the visit
| to Albany, and the fact that the said SOL
was closeted with the Governor for a
| long time, is causing great pain to the
| anti-Payne Democrats here and through

A matronly cat with sleek, brown fur,
and kitten with coal-black head and
white coat lay side by side against a
crumbling headstone in st. Paul's grave
yard Saturday afternoon. A young man
who sauntered through the paths reading
the time stained stones, stopped to pet the
kitten. 1t and the big cat sprang up SIM
ultaneously, and, scampering like a flash
to a tall tree that shaded the ratings at
the Vesey street side of the graveyard, dis
appeared.
"Goshw exclaimed the saunterer, turn
ing to the gardener. 'Where did those cats
go to, any way?"
''Up the tree,n drawled the old man, con-
tinuing to weed grave mounds. 'sThey
lives i'm it.n
Large holes yawn at the roots of the tree
and penetrate upward several feet into the
interior of the trunk. Leaves are thickly
padded inside and pressed down like a
nest. In the trunk of the tree lay the big
cat and near 1t crouched the frisky kitten.
its bright eyes glistening among the
leaves.
"The old cats been here for an age"
said a car-starter afterward. "People In
the neighborhood make pets of both the
animals, and feed them regularly. The cats
are perfectly at home in the graveyard,
and they chase the rats and mice that come
out of the warehouses round here at night
and go scampering over the graves. No
body could hurt the cats, even if anybody
were so disposed, for the animals are too
quick for 'em. They just fly around when
they want to be let alone, and even an
acrobat couldn't catch them.u

nart osthis now come from the dnties on

part OF this now comes from the duties on
imports. Ii these were abolished it
would not reduce the taxes. The money
lost to the Treasury by the abolition Of
the tariff would have to be raised by
other means at home, by direct tax ON
lands, or a poll tax, or by tax on home
productions. Ia that case the burden
paid by the consumers would be increas-
ed, as the amount Of the tariff duties
are not added probably in any instance
TO the price Of the article. The home
competition keeps down the price Free
traders, however, can not depart from the
fallaey that the imposition Of duty
necessarily increases the cost OF the ar
ticle to the consumer just the amount OF
the tariff.
In establishing rates of duty on foreign
articles they are SO placed as to protect
home industries. All classes, farmers
and manufacturers alike, are protected
by relieving them from foreign com
petition not by adding so much to
home products. All classes receive the
benefits, the manufactures on his goods
the farmer on his products, the workman
on his employment. The manufacturer

his from the market. The workman

COLONEL FRANK A. BURR, OF the Phila-
delphia Times, met Senator John Sher-
man the other day and drew from him a
somewhat lengthy statement of his views
of the politics of the future in this coun-
try. The Senator had, he said, been read
ing history of the passage of the Reform
Bill in England and was persuaded that
We arc about facing such crisis. Both
parties are disturbed by internal elements
of opposition Each party must deal
with the labor question, both parties are
divided on the tariff, and new conditions
and new problems are arising. He does
not believe we are to have new parties,
but perhaps re-casting of the old ones
ON fresh and broader lines" He con-
siders sectional issues settled so far as
they may be. Every live question, he
says, is practically new one. Import
ant commercial treaties upon which both
parties will divide are pressing for settle
ment. Whichever shall deal with them
SO as To meet the favor of the country will
be most successful. He hopes that the
disposition of the revenue, the ratifica-
ton or rejection of commercial treaties
and the settlement of economic, indus
trial and social questions will be the light
of our future political life for long time
10 come. The Senator thinks that il
Cleveland carries out the policy that
many people assume that he will, he viii
disappoiut some elements OF his party
but he will doubtless draw to himself 6
large faction that supported him In the
last alactian If h~~-s-pnn CusdppOInJ nlE
Southern constituents and they will dc
much to embarrass his administration
III they should, it is possible that fotu
years from now the South may be divided
as to the Presidential succession. The
Senator is generally wise in his statesman
ship, but just how he makes out that
sectional questions are dead and that the
tariff problem and others are new issues
is something which is too deep for solu-
ton by the ordinary mind.
