AGrowing Feeling.

Hon. J. r. Tucker, OF Virginia, is quoted
as saying that there is growing feeling in
Virginia for high tariff, and that 1t aston
ishes him. BY high tariff" Mr.. Tucker
means protective tariff. Mr.. Tucker
might have remarked also that this grow
ing feeling is not confined to Virginia, but
exists in a majority Of the southern States
where any progress has been made In man.
ufactures, or where any attention has been
given TO them. This is a fact which no one
will now gainsay. To attribute this
"growing feeling" to the teachings OF
protective newspapers, as some OF
the anti-protection journals do, is to
greatly Overrate the power OF those
papers and underrate the intelligence OF
the people. This growing feeling is not
to be attributed TO that altogether, while
doubtless il has had its influence by dis
seminating facts and figures for general
information. But the people Of the South,
now embarked in new enterprises and
looking to a grander future, in q material
sense, have seen the benefits other sections
have derived from q protective tariff in
the past, and believe that II 1t has been
instrumental in developing and enrich
ing those sections, II may also be in
strumental in building up our indus
tries, and in developing and enrich
ing the South. AS practical bust
ness-men, from business standpoint. dis
carding theories that have long since eX-
pIoded, they propose to enjoy some Of the
benefits that others have enjoyed so long,
and to whose enrichment the people OF the
South, when she had few manufactures OF
her own, contributed millions OF dollars
annually. Here is the secret Of this grow
ing feeling, noted by Mr.. Tucker, and we
don't see why he or any one else should
find cause for establishment In 1t. 1t
simply proof Of the fact that level-headed,
practical. business sense is coming to the
front, and that we, who have been shaking
the trees for others, propose TO have some
of the fruit for ourselves. Charlotte ~.

CITATIONS.

The Philadelphia Times,
1884.

The TIMES will enter upon the new year
stronger and more prosperous than ever be-
fore in its history-m0re widely read and
quoted, more heartily commended and
more fcrcely criticized, with II more COM
plete organization, and an ADLER staff of
contributors-and with the same indepcn-
dence and fearlessness that has made it sue
cessful and powerful in the past.
The TIMES has no party to follow, no
candidates to advance, but will meet every
issue, as it has ever done, with consistent
devotion to the right, to honest government
and the public welfare And, while main
tanning its position as the leading journal
of Philadelphia, it will aim to be cOntinu-
ally in the advance in all that can add
value to Il newspaper.
The value of a newspaper is not in It's
size or display, but in the intelligence and
care, the conciseness and freshness with
which it is edited The TIMES spends
lavishly for news from all parts Of the
world, but all its dispatches are carefully
edited and condensed, in order to give the
complete news of the day in the most con-
else and attractive shape, and with Il large
variety Of entertaining and instructive read
ing. The best writers at home and abroad
are employed to enrich its columns and to
make it a Journal adapted both to the busy
man and to the leisure Of the home circle,
| q welcome visitor to intelligent and honest
citizens Of every political, religious, and
social taste.
The WEEKLY TINES is altogether differ
ent from the weekly newspapers of twenty
| years ago. The day of those papers is gone
| by. The telegraph and better local news
papers everywhere, especially in the thriv.
| ing centres of rural population, have made
| the old weekly metropolitan newspaper un.
| satisfying. Those that cling to their an
cient usages have lost their hold on oul
| forwardmOving people; they are bu
| shadows of their former greatness, and they
have but a shadow of their former power
! Those papers have had their usefulness
but it is gone; and, with it, they are going
too. 1t was not the fault of the papers i
was the improvement of the country tina
brought about the change. Men and wO
men, wherever they live, now requir
fresher news; and they require more thai

The WEEKLY TIMES gathers oil tn

CHESAPEAKE AND DELAWARE CA
NAL.-The State of Maryland holds
among its unproductivc assets $S1 $50
of stock in the Chesapeake and Della
ware Canal. The State of Delaware
likewise has monetary interest in the
enterprise. Both States lent their aid
for the purpose of fostering interstate
commerce and to promote the COM
mercial advantages of the State.
Maryland has not received any divi-
dend on its stock for many years, and
it is charged that the canal is being
operated in the interest of individuals
and private corporations. TO find out
something about the affairs of the con-
Germ, the Senate last Tuesday passed
an order calling for statement of af-
fairs. This will be followed by Moying
the appointment of a committee to CO.

investigating the finances and manage
ment of the canal.

One day Mr.. Daintywell really met
with the predicted accident, aud was
brought home upon a convenient shut
ter. His wife rushed to the door when
she saw him coming, her face was SO
pale that her husband, who Sas fully
conscious, feared that she was going tc

The Pet Dog Trade.
YORKSHIRE TERRIERS IN FAVOR, AND
THE STUPID PUG NEGLECTED.

When worthless little dogs first made
their appearance as pets of American
womankind the black-and-tan terrier
was accepted as the model animal.
The weight of these dogs was from
fifteen to eighteen pounds, and they
proved too heavy to fondle with ease
or to carry any distance. Then, by
means of interbreeding, some very
small specimens were obtained, but
even these did not give satisfaction
for they became s0rc-eyed as they were
more and more dwarfcd, and resort
was had to other breeds. Then the
skye terrier, which soon found favor,
was introduced These continued to
be fashionable for short time, but the
owners, who demand rs many changes
in dogs as they do in wearing apparel,
decided to make another change. The
ugly, stupid and worthless pug became
their ideal. This wrctchcd creature is
II cross-brccd between the King Charles
spaniel and the Chinese bulldog. He
has no traits that ought to make him a
pet, being hardly intelligent enough to
make him understand when to follow
one. This accounts for the fact that
the pug is always led by string when
out on the street.
OF the pug there are three varieties,
the English, a pug of medium size
the Willoughby, small sized pug,
and the Russian, a pug with Il great
deal of black on the face and head
Since they have been excluded from
society these dogs have become much
cheaper, and are sold at onc-lOurth tho
price which they brought three years
ago. The Yorkshire terrier has taken
the pug's place, an! the demand fol
this creature is so great that it is utter
ly impossible in this city to meet tho
demand. The dog is really a small
edition of the skye, and may be had il
three colors-silver, blue and gold
The blue dog is the most valuable
One who looks at them in their place
of confinement among the dealers il
this city is Il; loss to know why the!
are considered so beautiful. Thei
hair is kept oiled, so that it will not ge
matted, but after the least neglect i
becomes matted and filthy. The York
shire, however, is an improvement
over the horrible pug and the sOre-eye,
black-and-tan, for he shows some in
telligence and is sometimes courageou
enough to tackle a mousse PhiIadci

England in Egypt.

Disaster follows hard upon disaster in
Egypt. Tho defeat of Baker Pacha
-. been followed closely by the cap
sure of Sinkat by the rebels, and the
total destruction of the garrison of 600
men. Souakin is now threatened and
the uniform success of the rebel leader
has greatly strengthened the fanatical
feeling which has been steadily grow
ing through all the Mahometan coun-
tries. 1t has taken hold of the tribes
on the opposite side of the Red Sea, in
Arabia proper, and is spreading west
ward through the tribes of Morocco
and Algiers. FL Mahdi has just given
signal proof of his piety by sending a
large contribution of money to the
guardians of Mahomet's tomb, at Me-
dina, and declares that he will not rest
until he has killed the Sultan in Con-
stantinople and has driven the Infidel
Christians off from every foot of Mus
salman soil. 1t is evident that the re-
volt is a far more serious affair than
was at first imagined and it now bids
fair to involve the English government
in unlooked-for troubles. A vote OF
censure has been under debate in Par
Lament this week, and though it may
not pass it is evident that unless the
government adopts a more energetic
policy and retrieves quickly the ground
lost in the recent disastrous defeats, its
position will be very precarious one
Nothing touches so quickly the sensi
tive nerves of an Englishman as defeat
in battle and no government can hops
to stand long against such succession
Of disasters as have recently falier
upon the English arms in Egypt. 1t il
probable that the plan of abandonin,
the Soudan will be reconsidsred ant
Gladstone's government, which hate
war sincerely, will be forced to max
war vigorously not only for the sake Q
civilization but for IFS own preserva
tion.

A Good Move.

The popular branch of Congress has
inaugurated a policy on the land grant
business which cannot fail of meeting
with public approval, by its adoption
of resolutions declaring all unearned
land grants to railways forfeited and
the land open to actual settlers. They
go further by demanding the repeal of
all laws making it possible to acquire
large bodies of land by pre-emption;
and the committee on public lands is
instructed to prepare bills giving effect
to the ideas contained in the resolu-
tions. The resolutions having passed
by vote of 253 yeas to Is nays, it is
foregone conclusion that the bills will
be passed without noticeable opposi-
ton. Sensible of this the railroad men
have consolidated their forces in de-
termined effort to defeat forfeiture in
the Senate, which body, from informa-
ton furnished by the Huntingdon let
ters, has heretofore been open to pur-
chase. What the present Senate will
do, is, of course, yet in the womb of
futurity; but it is not probable that it
will resist the feverish public sentime ent
which the exposes of public robbery
have awakened. That the whole pub
lie may understand how the seeds of
monopoly have been sown in our land,
not by kings and emperors, but by our
royal E PIuribus Unum Congressman,
we offer the following information, and
in doing so, we do not set down aught
in malice. According to the speech OF
ex-President Garfield, delivered JAN
uary %, 1874, these bad men conferred
upon the railway benefciaries during
the few years preceding that date, the
almost uncomfortable total of 25O,OOO,.
600, acres, or 390,625 square miles
which, if settled no more densely than
the State of Connecticut, would support
a population of over 6O,OOO,OOO. Tc
further elucidate the extent of this vast
domain, it is only necessary to state
that it would duplicate England, Scot
land, Ireland, Belgium, Denmark
Greece, Holland, Italy, Portugal
Switzerland, Tuscany, Sardinia, Bava
ria, Hanover and Saxony. Of tn,
25O,OOO,Oo0 acres thus donated by tn,
amazing recklessness of Congress,
statement of the land grant busines
now before the Committee on publ
lands shows that 1OO,OOO,OOO acres ar
forfeitable, and this land should be re
stored to the people without delay. 1
saying this we are not inspired with
spirit of warfare against corporate in
dustry. The evils complained of ar
of the making of our corrupt repre-
sentatives, and it is too late in the da
to talk of remedying them to the il
jury of the industries these represet,
tives have encouraged. But it is NJ
proposed to inflict an injury; it is onl
desired that the lands alienated by til
government from the people, and no
forfeitable under the laws of alienatio
shall be restored to the people.
