TUESDAY, Mr.. Morrison moved
that the House go into committee
of the whole for the consideration
of the tariff bill. There was no
division, and the motion was agreed
to, Cox, of New York, being called
to the chair. Immediately upon
the committees assembling, Elton
objected to the consideration of the
bill, and the objection was reported
to the House. A vote was taken
upon the question whether the bill
should be considered. By a vote
14O yeas and 13S hayes, the COM
mittee decided to consider the meas
ure.

THERE is said to be a marked
difference in the manner of conduc-

since the riot, and the change is
greatly for the better. A special
grand jury, comprised of the fore
most citizens, all intelligent men,
have been chosen to investigate
the riot troubles and the charges of
corruption in the Berner case.
Judge Avery in his charge to the
grand jury was very explicit as to
the laws relating to riot and dwelt
on the importance of thorough
and patient investigation.

Morristown Gazette; Some months
ago Miss Annie Tate, daughter Of
DIR. William s. Tate, returned home
from Baltimore, where she had
been for several years past studying
at Mt. De Sales Convent. Immed-
lately upon her return home she
met Thomas j. Barber, a fascinating
young drummer" for China
house in Charleston. Although
numerous and more eligible aspir-
ants sought her hand, Miss Tate,
who is twenty years old and noted
for her beauty, yielded to the per-
suasions of the dashing drummer"
and greatly against her parents
wishes, welded him in Henderson
vile three weeks ago. They left
the same, day, ostensibly for Gal
weston, where Barber said he had
wealthy relations. Since then moth
ing has been heard of them. The
alarmed family telegraphed to Bar
ber's employers in Charleston to
know il they had information about
him. They were informed that he
had left their service several weeks
before, but that he had wife in the
city who might know something
about him. The agonized father
hurried at once to Charleston, and
learned from Mrs. Barbar that her
husband had basely deserted her
and her four children a month be-
fore. The town Is greatly excited.
Miss Tate,s relatives and MANY of
her old admirers swear vengeance
against Barber and state that as
soon as they ascertain where he is
they will follow him up and kill
him. A warrant has been issued
for his arrest. The shock has made
Mrs. Tate very i'll.

THE SURPLUS IN THE STATE TREASURY

We agree with the Chronicle in
the assertion that the general as
sembly Sin providing for a settle
ment of the State debt was obliged
to provide for sufficient revenue to
meet it," but that is no reason why
law should be enacted which COL
lects a redundancy OF revenue. We
object to unnecessarily taking mon
ey from the pockets of the people to
be put into the banks for private
banking purposes. We want the
Chronicles opinion on this feature
of the law; and from this view,
without regard to the justice or in
justice of the debt settlement, we
ask an answer to our objection to
the accommodating surplus in the
state treasury.-NdshUilIe Banner.
Immediately following the sem
tence which is quoted from the
CHRONICLE in the above, we said /:
"For the latter provision to have
been made contingent would have
been difficult and doubtful legisla-
tion." If the Banner had paid care
full attention to this assertion the
aboveinterrogatory would have been
unnecessary. We are as much OPP
posed as the Banner "to accumuIa-
ting surplus in the State treasury"
but we deny that any one is to
blame for the present accumulation
except the bondholders who have
refused so far to take what is offered
them. The next legislature will
have to deal with the matter and
ought to do so in a business like
way. There is no use in raising a
howl about it now, and if the Ban
ner continues to do 80, people will
continue to think it is sore head.

wATTERsoN's WAYS.

We don't hardly suppose there
now remains man who would be
so unreasonable as to hold Mr..
Henry Watterson accountable for
what he says, or be shocked by any
degree of inconsistency in his utter
ances. But in order to keep the
dear people reminded of how the
dashing Henri talks, we will again
produce what he said OF the Ohio
platform when first promulgated,
and some of his late views on the
same subject. The following is an
extract from his dispatch to the
Courier-Journal from New York,
June 1885, The italics are ours:
''Of the platform, as a whole, it
is needless to speak. 1t Is adnirG-
bic. OF the tariff clause, lean only
say that the party next year can do
no better than copy il. 1t is, ia all
respects, preferable to the tariff plank
of 1876, from which that of 1880
was taken, and expresses aOith pre-
cGsiOaa the meaning of tariff revis-
ion and tax REFORM"
This generous criticism, or more
properly, this unstinted laudation,
would hardly prepare the reader
for the following extracts from an
editorial in the Courier-Journal of
the 18th inst. Having stated the
tariff plank recently adopted by the
Pennsylvania Democrats it pro-
ceeds:
So far, this is the famous Ohio
plank-the plank which is of more
colors than Joseph's coat-which is
susceptible of Interpretation, each
interpreter according to his fancy /;
a plank on which the most ardent
revenue refOrmer may stand il he
shut one eye, and which, as proved
by the Endorsement of the Pennsyl-
vania Democrats, affords ample
support for the most radical protec-
tionists.
Surely no one can any longer
doubt the meaningless elasticity of
this piece of buneombe, when it is
adopted as the embodiment of their
principles by the Pennsylvania
protectiOniSts.
Can the revenue reform Demo-
Gratis stomach the Ohio idea now
that it has been declared to be the
Pennsylvania idea? Can even the
political soft shells any longer pin
their faith to a paragraph which
they had hitherto congratulated
themselves meant nothing, now
that it has been authoritatiVely de
clared to the country to mean Penn
sylvanianism
Truly, the Ohio platform, as the
expression of the party ct Chicago,
was an improbability from the
first but, now that the Allentown
convention has met, it is an impos-
sibility.
In this Mr.. Watterson declares
his reason for rejecting the Ohio
idea, which he once thought so ad-
mirable and precise, to be that it
has been adopted by the Pennsyl-
vania Democrats. He seems to be
determined to disagree with these
Democrats, and won't except any
enunciation that affords a harmoni-
Gus standing ground. The Penn
sylvania Democrats have muddled
his water up stream and he don't
intend to be friendly with them on
any terms. He is i'm the kicking
out business just now, and those
whom he don't love must go. 1t is
not only the Democrats of Penn
sylvania who come under the ban,
but those of Virginia and New
Jersey, who adopted an entirely
similar tariff plank, and all of the
Democrats throughout the Union,
who subscribe to the Ohio idea.
