Secretary Manning Versus the Facts.

'lusluHb anu IeVuIincuuutlolb suuii w IA
with the logic of statistical facts
relating to the subject or subjects Of which
Il treuts. When the official figures unmis-
takably point one way and the reporting
official points in the opposite direction, the
fair presumption Is that the official has
made a mistake. The NATIONAL REPUDLI-
CAN regrets to find that Mr. Secretary Man
ming, in his annual report, is occasionally
at odds with the facts-is recommending
that which the facts condemn and condemn
ing that which the facts approve. Yet so
highly has this document been praised, so
earnestly has its author been eulogized,
that one who feels that he must take sides
with "the under dog' in such a contest is
at loss to know whether he ought TO place
himself beside the Secretary and keep step
with him as he moves against the facts, or
step over to the other side and take up
position behind the batteries Of facts which
the Secretary is assaulting.
In bis official report the Secretary says
GAS for duties affecting articles that are
also produced in the United States the first
TO lie safely discarded are those upon mate
rials used by our own manufacturers, which
now subject them to hopeless competition
at home and abroad with the manufacture
ing nations, none Of which taxes raw mate.
iials." Mr.. Manning is accustomed to use
strong terms, and IL is not bad habit when
properly tempered by discretion. "llopo-
less competition is very strong term, but
we venture the modest, deferential sugges-
ton that discretion was lost sight of when
Mr.. Manning employed IT, Our reason for
risking such suggestion is that the export
statistics Of Mr.. Secretary Manning's de-
paItment for more than three decades fatty
contradict the Secretary. II he were TO put
in these statistics to show that "hopeless
competition" is q phrase justified by the
facts his own witness would swear his case
out Of court.
During the last ante-bellum decade end

goods of all kinds aggregated 1886, ,757,OOl,

WASHINGTON. D. C., NOV. 10, 1885
v1RGINIA's NEW ERA.

Our Democratic friends in Virginia
lay great stress upon their claim that a
political revolution like that which has
just taken place in that State was alb
solutely necessary to the peace and
prosperity of the Old Dominion and
the proper development of her vast
natural resources.
The CmTfC has never been of those
who believed that General Malone, a
born Southerncr, gallant Confederate
soldier and citizen of extraordinary
business abilities, was or could be an
enemy to the welfare of the people
with whom his fortunes were early cast
and his whole life had been spent. But
there was that in his political methods
which was no doubt distastcful even to
many citizens of Virginia not in sym
pathy with the Democratic party.
They believed that however worthy
man he might be in private life and
however patriotic in his motives, the
material advancement of the State and
llt ElOMlh VI llS bNoN lllNNlNnNo NNlN
preiudiced and retarded by the SUI
premacy of party, which, in spite Of
its able leadership, was not in all re-
spects suited to the executive and legis-
lative control of a great Common
wealth.
This belief was the underlying princi-
pie of the late contest, and has been
triumphantly asserted with the conse-
quence of transferring the State Gov
ernment to entirely new hands and
terminating the public service of Gen
eral Malone in the United States SEN
ate.
Nothing now remains but for the
Democrats of Virginia to vindicGte their
claim to the proprietorship of the State
and make good their pledges, 1t is eX-
pected of them that they will pursue
such a policy as to attract more capital
from abroad, to place the credit of the
Commonwealth upon asubstantial basis,
to eliminate the taint Of reputation
from her skirts. to cultivate greater
peace and contentment among the col.
ored people, and in the meantime to di.
vert the public mind, as much as posi-.
bic, from the distracting perpleXities OF
partisan politics. This done, and who
can measure the glorious destiny OF
Virginia? Ii is matter which the
Democratic party has in its own hands,
and the country will expect well of its
stewardship.

TIME TO CALL A HALT.

The ruling of Justice Macarthur in
the District Court yesterday in the case
of private club, which had been
raided and its proprietor and managers
arrested because its members met there
to play poker and other social games of
cards, was righteous and common
sense decision.
The Court said that he thought but little Of
the certincate OF incorporation, but that, apart
from II, there seemed TO be "A club which met
for social purposes and played cards, and that
no one was admitted 10 the place of meeting
or permitted to play but the members of the
club, and that u was not a public gaming
place within the meaning of the act The
Court also referred TO places well known
where clubs have restaurants and means of
refreshment, &c, and where the members
meet for social purposes, and said that men
of the class of the members Of the club In the
case on trial were not able to maintain large
and expensive establishments, and again az
firmed the previous ruling of the court, that
gaming place of the kind prohibited by tho
act was one which was open 20 the public,
and not one restricted to certain individuals
forming social organization. The jury We're
instructed TO return q, verdict OF not guilty
under the law, which they did
1t was high time that a judicial an
nouncement should be made against
the tyrannical assumption of authority
of some of the detective force of the
city who have prowled about the pri'
vate apartments of citizens with view
of spying into the conduct of persons
assembled, and when, through intim-
idation or force they have gained access
to such private rooms and found the
occupants engaged in the pastime of
playing poker-the universal American
game-have raided upon and arrested
all present.

Sweet sleep be thine, and may thy dreams be

Sweet sleep, sweet dreams of happier days to
be,
Heart unto heart, through all eternity.
Low I the mould, the star-eyed blossoms

And sweet bird voices tell that spring is
here,
The mocking-birds from orange bowers sing,
And earth is bright with the awakened
year,
But thou, sweet one art buried In the earth.

But deaths, stlll sleep at length Is broken

He lends this hope TO cheer each saddcnod
breast,
And Faith, the Ararat, on which life's ark
may rest.

AN AUSTRALIAN WELCOME.

Melbourne is Just now enjoying
visit from the United States man-of-
war Enterprise, and the ships officers
seem to be having very large treat at
the hands of the Australians. Captain
Barker in his report to the Secretary
of the Navy says that the people
threaten to kill them with kindness.
They are daily inundated with invita-
tions for excursions, parties, dinners,
lunches, theatre entertainments, and
the like. Each officer has been given
q free pass over all the railroads on
the continent of the Antipodes, and as
Captain Barker feelingly remarks
"When it Is remembered that there are
nearly 1000 miles of railway and that
all are under the control Of the govern
ment, and that our passes are good for
every mile of completed road and for
every day of our sojourn here, the
value of this mark of attention can be
family appreciated. -
The Australians are certainly doing
us proud, and The CRITIC extends to
its far.off cousins the assurances of its
most distinguished consideration. At
the same time we may congratulate
ourselves upon the knowledge of the
fact that there is no country in the
world that has set of naval gentlemen
who know better how to appreciate and
make known their appreciation of such
hospitality as the Enterprises officers
are receiving than we have, The navy
is not the largest or the best in the
world, but it can boast of officers and
gentlemen in the service who have nc
superiors anywhere.
The Washington critic., 1885-11-10

THE report of Chief Engineer Cronin
of the District Fire Department is a
document of valuable interest not only
for the information it contains, but for
the practical suggestions it makes.
The Department, for the size of it, is
one of the most efficient in the country.
1t is well ofliccred, well manned and
wcll-equipped, but to cover the area
required of it and to keep pace with
the rapid increase of buildings the
force should be considerably enlarged.
This is matter to which the attention
of Congress should be early and
urgently invoked.
