nut gals, fruits, flowers, dried 6bres,
grains, gums and gum resins, herbs,
leaves, lichens, moses, nuts, roots and
stems, spices, vegetables, seeds, (aromat.

growth, weede, woods used expressly for
dying, and dried insects-any Of the
foregoing Of which arc not edible but
which have been advanced in value or
condition by refining or grinding or by
specially enumerated or provided for in
this Act.
The propriety Of interfering with tho
tariff at this session of Congress is alto.
gether problematic in its effects upon
Democratic prospects, but we believe Mr..
Morrison's plan of handling the subject
is the safest and best for the present. It
assumes that the adjustment Of the Re.
publican tariff is relatively correct, but
that It is excessively high. Therefore,
without interfering with tbe proportions,
which would provoke very uncertain
and dangerous issue, he merely proposes
to bring the duties down to revenue
standard. 1t, in effect, makes tariff for
revenue with incidental protection, and
comes as near presenting common ground
for the protection Democrats and the
tariff Democrats TO stand on as any
that can be devised. IL Is certainly a
great improvement upon the existing
law

MIR. Phillips has been i'll just one week,

the enrolments will then aggregate over

tor, except the chairmen Of standing or
select committees Of the Senate, shall be
entitled to CLERK or secretary at a salary
of 81 900 annually, the same to be paid
out OF the contingent fund of the Senate.
In supporting this measure he said II

simply to increase the clerical force of

The Springer investigating committee
il vigorous in its work, will do more for
the Democratic party in the coming can.
vass than any tariff bill which can pos.
sibly be passe:! or agitated at this session
of Congress. The principal issue at the
present time ought to be the abuses Of
the Republican administration. That is
plank upon which every Democrat can
stand, and now in the financial troubles
which surround our people, no stronger
or more effectual plea for the votes Of
the people can be made than by showing
the corruption, the extravagance and the
general disregard for the interests for the
people, which prevails in the present
management of the government. Mr..
Springer in starting these Investigations
has struck the s!renses. ground upon
which the Democracy can stand. The
South and West ore favorable to tariff
reduction, but the Northern and Middle
States favor continuance of protection.
The South is largely Democratic while
the West il largely Republican. No
change Of votea of consequence will be
made in these sections on either oide, let
the tariff be what it may. The South
will 60 Democratic Independently OF the
tariff issue, and the West will go Rspub.
lican regardless of 1t. In our opinion,
the policy for the next canvass 10 TO
adopt the Whig tactics of 1910, when
Harrison and Tyler were overwhelmingly
elected on an issue upon the abuses of
the administration. To succeed, We
Eaas. carry New York snd Indiana.
These States can, We believe, be easily
carried, If the canvass is made for that
purpose. In such a canvass the tariff
cannot be the leading iusue. The work of
the Springer committee will gain moro
votes if well done in these States than
any other work the present Congress-
may do. =.

North Carolina Penltentlary,

A member of the staff of the Chron;-

that the period covered BY these reports

concerning them, Chose at work outside
the penitentiary,) nor any physician's

record or account was published in the

only just and accurate description from
the facts that he had. Unluckily all the
faot5 were not published. But during
the years when the conyicts occupied the

doubt about it. Nov, however, there Is

rate in the Penitentiary has decreased
steadily since the occupation of the pres
ent building. In 1881 it was less than 6
per cent, and in 1882 less than 8. This
is not bad showing when it is remem-
bered that the penitentiary is not simply
a penitentiary, but for lack OF better di.

GREENvILLE, February 2.-The old
McBee residence, a substantial two.story
frame building, situated in West Green

by Alderman NJ. S. Scrugga, was burned
about 2 o'clock this morning Mr.
Scruggs and family had barely time to
escape after the fire was discovered, and
nothing Of much value was saved The
building, which was the property OF
Alexander McBee, Jr., was valued at
twenty.three hundred dollars. 1t was
insured with McBee & Briggs, in the
Underwriters agency, for eighteen hun.
dred dollars. Mr. Scruggs's loss in
household goods is about five hundred
dollars, no insurance. The fire origina-

uted very largely to the popular vote
