The Report of the Secretary Of the
Treasury.

The Secretary of the Treasury devotes
a good deal OF attention in his report to
the very unsatisfactory condition Of our
manufacturing interests. While he does
not say that their condition is due to cur
present tariff system, the inference is
plain from what he says that that is his
opinion. Summed up, his position is that
before our manufactures can be prosper
Gus they must have other markets for
their products, and that these markets
must be found 10 foreign countries. They
cannot find markets there now because
our tariff prevents them from
competing there with the man.
ufactOries OF the manufacturing countries
Of Europe. Our manufactures are able
now, by running on full time six months
in each year, to supply the demand Of the
home market. Until they can compete in
foreign markets, therefore, they are
doomed to idleness half their time.
This is about what the tariff reformers
have been saying all the time, and what
the protectionists viii be forced finally to
admit. The Secretary thinks that a CON-
mission ought to be appointed TO revise
the tariff, and that while the work Of re-
vision is being done the best means Of pro-
noting our foreign trade ought to be kept
steadily in view.
The Secretary calls attention TO the
trade Of Brazil, showing that our imports
from that country are many times greater
than our exports to it. The same is true
with regard 10 all the countries south CT
US. These countries would rather trade
with Us than with European countries.
and would do so if we could offer them the
same advantages.
The time has come when we must offer
them the same advantages, if our manu-
featuring interests are TO continue to
prosper.
Whether or not the evils from which
our industrial interests suffer can be
reached best through a commission is a
question for Congress TO determine. We
have had experience with one commission
which was not in all respects satisfactO-
ry It's work, however, while not &C
cepted was made the basis Of legislation.
/ There is no doubt that it furnished great
deal Of information. Public sentiment
will become sufficiently crystalized,
doubtless, during the next twelve months
| to guide the Democratic party in its tariff
/ legislation next Congress.

CRUST ED UNDER A STONE.
Horrible Death of a Staten Island Ho-
tel Proprietor.


tel Proprietor.
Theodore Ludwig, proprietor of the ho-
tel at Castleton Corners, Staten Island,
says the New York Times of Nov. 90, met
with a horrible death on Tuesday or
Wednesday. The exact time of his death
is not known. Mr.. Ludwig has a large
farm near the hotel. He went out Tues
day with a spade, telling the family that
he was going to do some work. He didnot
return that night, but his family paid
no attention to that fact, as he
frequently went out driving and
did not return over night. On
Wednesday afternoon q friend called to
see him. It was then discovered that all
the horses were in the stable, and search
was made about the neighbOrhoOd for the
missing man. Piercing screams from Mrs.
Ludwig brought the searching party bur-
riedly to her. 1t was after dark, and they
all carried lanterns. The rays from Mrs.
Ludwig's lantern revealed to the others
the CHASTITY face of Mr.. Ludwig turned
upward from large and newly dug hole
in the ground. Mrs. Ludwig had tainted
beside the corpse Of her husband. A huge
boulder was resting on the chest of the
dead man. His tongue and eyes pro-
truded, and his face was discolOre0. 1t
was evident that he had died from suffo-
cation.
An examination of the spot showed
that the unfortunate man had dug a large
hole under the boulder, intending to bury
it. He dug too far and undermined the
rock, which fell upon him and pressed
against him with such crushing force that
he could make no cutlery for help. How
long he lived after the accident could not
be discovered. The doctors said that ne
might have been pinned there for a day
before death ensued. or he might have
died in a few minutes. 1t took 10 men
and derrick to hoist the stone so that the
BODY cOuId be extricated.

If a telegram from Atlanta to the Nash
Vile american is to be accepted as liter
ally and not fguratively only true, the
dignifed, reserved and learned Samuel J.
Randall must have been strangely affected
by the Atlanta air as soon as he reached
that town. The telegram says: "When
Mr.. Randall arrived last night, owing to
the disarEangement of the schedules, it
was at an hour when no one was present
to receive him, and he retired quietly to
his room in the hotel. 1t was not long,
however, before his privacy was broken
by the entrance Of Henry W. Grady, the
gentleman who adjourned the Georgia
Legislature in honor of Cleveland's cleo
ton. Clasping Mr.. Grady in bis arms,
Mr.. Randall said: Your adjournment of
the Legislature was the noblest event in
history. l am proud Of you and Of your
act.'" 1t is gratifying to know that Mr..
Randall does not consider his union with
the Republicans to defeat a Democratic
attempt to reduce tariff taxation the no.
blest event in history.

The present session of Congress, which
began yesterday. promises to be rather
Uneyentful. Beyond the appropriation
bills it is not probable that there will be
much legislation Of Importance. An at
tempt viii be made to secure a long ad-
jOurnment during the present month to
allow members TO visit the New Or
leans Exposition. If the attempt sue
ceeds there will be little or nothing
done before the second week in January.
The appropriation bills will take up about
all the time between that date and the
date of final adjournment. There may be
some talk Of tariff legislation, but it is
about certain that no legislation OF
that kind will be attempted. There
will not be time, for one
reason, and, besides, the tariff reformers
will be stronger in the next than in the
present Congress.
The country is looking towards the next
administration, and the Inauguration
next March already has more interest for
the country than anything that is likely
to flow from this Congress.

The VIRGINIA Enidemic.

1t Is difficult to realize that disease as
deadly as the cholera is killing people by
the hundreds in certain counties Of the
mountain districts Of Virginia, West Vir-
ginia and Kentucky. The stories of suf-
fering and death that have reached the
public from those regions almost surpass
belief. The wonder is that the condition
OF affairs has existed so long without at
tracing notice, ard that ever since the
truth has been make known so little
sympathy fer the stricken people has
been shown From accounts that are
received almost daily from the afflicted
region. the epidemic has not abated. Pe6-
pie are dying not only from the mystic
riOus disease, but also from starvation.
1t seems strange that in this country,
where breadstuff5 are now so cheap that
the poorest ought to have plenty, we
should read that people of sections Of
three great States are dying from starva-
ton. The fact is, however, that in these
regions where the mysterious disease is
a terrible drought has prevailed for
many months. Crops have yielded moth
ing comparatively and the people in many
instances have been too sick to gather
what little they did Yield. There ought
to be some organized movement to render
the suffering people aid. The only help
they have received was sent them BY the
Cattle Convention, lately in SESSION in st.
Louis. They are certainly legitimate OBJ
iects Of charity.

The scheme proposed by a few prcmi-
aezt manufacturers to form a great
Protective Tariff Association in the United
States as a sort OF opposite Of the famous
Golden Club, does not seem to promise TO
be a success. Already it has become
apparent that the manufacturers of the
different sections OF the Union are sadly
divided among themselves on the subject
Of protection, and it is doubtful if any
uniform policy can be agreed upon. Some
want one class Of manufactures pro-
tected and some another, AID were it
not from fear Of the power Of the genuine
reflrmers, the prOtectiOnists would them
selves, probably, attempt a reform, or.
rather. change of the tariff in the interests
n certain great monopOlists.

4 well-known American writer testi-
fed several years ago that "FOr ways
that are dark and tricks that are vain. the
heather Chinee is peculiar"
consequently the average American
does not like to admit that
he is far behind the average Mongolian in
shrewdness and wisdom. 1t appears,
however, that even our great statesmen
have not been able to prevent the legal
admission of Cinnamon into this cOun-
try. The Chinese assert that the law re:
stricting Chinese immigration is incom-
plete and very easily circumyented. The
principal loophole is that it fails to pro-
hibit the influx of Cinnamon who are
naturalized as citizens or subjects of
other countries. The Chinese have got
this matter down fine, and get naturali-
cation papers (English) at Hong Kong
for 81. los, French 40f., Peruvian 50,
Spanish IS, etc. As the Consuls of many
countries only require the payment of
fees as a condition precedent to the issu-
ing of naturalization papers, it may east
~ be seen how weak the wisdom of our
statesmen has been. The tricks of the
heather Chinee are not so vain after all.
