Greeley as a Journalist.

In Cathcart's Literary Reader, prepared
for the instruction of the young, is found a
brief biography Of Horace Greeley, in which
the biographer speaks of him as ''the greatest
of American journalists. This is not only
fulsome, but not in accordance with fact.
There was Duane, of the Aurora Mordecai
N. Noah, James Watson Webb, VIM. Cullen
Bryant, Gales 4 Seaton, Thos. Richie, Duff
Green, Amos Kendall, Green, of the Boston
Post; n. P. Willis, VIM. T. Thompson, OF
Georgia; Forsythe, of Mobile; Fields, Of
New Orleans; Henry Watterson, Whitelaw
Reid, John W. Forney, Manton Marble, Geo.
VIM. Curtis and Charles A. Dana, any oil
whom were the peers of Greeley, and several
of them far surpassed him in ability and in
the elegance and purity of their diction.
Had he not lived in circle of admirers and
kindred spirits, who approved his idiosyncra-
sizes, and whose mental horizon, like his own,
was circumscribed, he would have been re-
garded as scarcely above mediocrity. And
this is the true estimate of his mental calibre.
He was not man of broad and cosmic views,
but narrow and contracted in his conceptions
of men and things. Greeley's head was full
of crotchets, but to call him great is to invite
ridicule.

A Proper Veto.

Gov. McLane on Wednesday sent into the
Senate a message vetoing the bill reducing the
marriage license fee from four dollars and a
half to sixty cents. The reasons the Governor
assigns for vetoing the measure are the
same as those advanced against the reduction
in the ADVOCATE, namely, that the state could
not afford to lose the revenue, and that the
law now provides for avoiding any fee from
those too poor or too economical to purchase
a license, by having the banDs of matrimony
published in church. If every argument of
the friends of the bill in favor of the reduc-
ton be admitted, they all fail when it is con-
sidered that the state cannot afford to lose
S27 900. There has been no complaint from
the people against the license fee, and there
has been no demand for its reduction or aboli-
ton, except by Senator Moore, the patron OF
the bill, and the Baltimore Sun Even if the
license fee is wrong in principle, the people
are accustomed to pay it, and the condition
of the states finances will not admit of a re-
duction of revenue. The license fee paid is
all that some people pay to the support OF the
state government that protects them. In fact
it has seemed to us that the whole matter was
trivial, and the Legislature could have en-
ployed its time in a more profitable way.
From the Governors oft expressed views the
Legislature might have known he would have
vetoed any bill reducing the revenue, and his
action in returning it without his signature
will be supported by a large majority of the
property owners in the state.

A poll of the Democratic members of the
New York Legislature shows large majority
in favor of Mr.. Tilden for President. Among
the Democratic members of the Pennsylvania
Legislature Mr. Randall is the preference,
with Tilden next. Unless Mr.. Tilden positive
ly refuses the nomination, Pennsylvania will
be for him in the convention, as Mr.. Randall
would not be in the field against him. The
Democrats of New Jersey are also for Tilden,
and the preference of those states will settle
the nomination. Mr.. Tilden's health, as usual
in presidential years according to the Repub-
lican press, is not robust; in fact the Repnbli-
can journals report him as physical wreck,
but he is healthy enough for Democrats and
the Republican party will find him too healthy
for them, should be accept -Four years ago
Republican papers said he was in very bad
health. Their representations were so posi-
tive on that score, that some believed he was
near dissolution. 1t was even so in 1876, but
the old Roman still lives, and the almost GER
tain unanimous nomination of him for Presi
dent has paralyzed the Republican party.
They would like to avoid the inevitable de-
feat that awaits them with Tilden to lead the
Democratic hosts, and are endeavoring to
defeat his nomination by representing him as
on the verge of the grave. Democrats, how
ever, will not be mislead. As Il prominent
Democrat of the Empire state recently re-
marked, the Democratic party is not looking
for Hercules they want brains.

Lieutenant Governor Blacks Tariff
Views and Preferences.

The following letter from Lieut. Governor
Black to the Erie Dispatch on the subject of
the tariff and the writer's presidential prefer
ence has the right ringin it. The Harrisburg
Patriot says the Incidental protection" of
which the Lieutenant Governor speaks is
quite different thing from the deliberate pro-
lection advocated by the tariff monopolists.
A revenue tariff which will meet the wants of
government economically administered will
necessarily result in ''incidental protection.
But that sort of a tariff is not tariff laid for
the sake of protection" 1t is not taxation
for the benefit of private interests, but for
public purposes only;
ERIE, Pa, March 20-The Dispatch this
morning prints the following letter from Hon.
Chauncey F. Black, Lieutenant Governor of
Pennsylvania, and son of the late Judge DER
emiah S. Black.
To tile Editors of the Erie Dispatch.
hasten to reply to your recent favor, the
more readily because the questions you pro-
pound are, to me, very familiar ones and sub
iects upon which | desire to be freely heard.
You ask for my tariff views and my presiden-
tial preferences. As to the former of these :
On the tariff question my views are express
ed in the seventh resolution of the York co.
Democracy, April, 1888, as follows:
The fundamental principle of true Democ
equal and exact justice to all men special
favors to none,n and this must be especially
observed in the exercise of the taxing power,
not only in the state but in the nation. We
demand, therefore, the repeal of the internal
taxes as unnecessary, oppressive, injurious to
particular classes and attended with corrup-
ton. We are in favor of taxing foreign i'm
ports, for the purpose authorized by the con-
stitution, namely: To raise revenue sufficient
for the legitimate needs of the treasury and
| incidental protection, encouragement and
reward equal and just to all classes of men and
all kinds of lawful business, including manu-.
features, agriculture and commerce in all
their branches
This in my opinion, is q better expression
of the time honored Democratic doctrine, de-
scending to us from the fathers of the party
and of the republic, than the o-called H0hjo
| PLATFORM" adopted last year in Ohio, Penn,
sylvania, New Jersey and Virginia. National
legislation having for its end the carrying out
of the above views has my hearty sanction al
any and all times.
As to candidates | await the action of the
convention, not doubling it will be for the
best. But should Mr.. Tilden accept the nom
nation he will be named without ballot and
elected by majority great enough to render
a second attempt to count him out a rather
dangerous experiment. Justice travels with
a leaden heel, but she strikes with an iron
hand" Very respectfully yours,
CHAUNcEY F. BLACK.

A Democratic Compromise.

The Democratic members of the House OF
Representatives held caucus on TUESDAY
night to consider bill to reduce taxes. After
n number of speeches it was decided by vote
of ia to 81 that the bill commonly known as
the Morrison bill, which proposes reduction
of abont thirty per cent. on duties and re-
arranges the existing tariff lists, shall be con-
sidered in the Committee of the Whole, a
reasonable time be allowed for amendment
and debate, and that a GHreducing war taxes
shall be passed. 1t was also decided that
there shall be contained in the bill clause
repeating all taxes on tobacco, snuff and
cigars, and reduction of ten cents per gallon
ON brandy distilled from fruit. The latter de-
cisions were contained in a resolution which
set forth that they were made to harmonic
conflicting opinions ON the manner OF reduc-
ing the revenues of the government
The action of the caucus is reassuring to
those Democrats who feared split in the
party on the tariff question. The tariff Dem
ocrats desired to avoid large annual SURPRISES
by repeating all internal revenue laws, and
the Carlisle Democrats favored accomplishing
the same end by reduction of the tariff.
Now that compromise, offered by the strong
er element, is made, it is hoped that bill
will be perfected that will command the en-
tire Democratic strength. The people have
been taxed for years hundred millions OF
dollars annually more than the government,
extravagantly administered, needed, and the
people demanded halt. The present Dem
ocratic majority in the House is result OF
that demand, and a reduction of taxation
must be consummated.
