THE GREAT ISSUE.

The Washington Post, under the
above caption, says:
"The platform on which the dem
ocratic party triumphed in the re-
cent election made its chief issue
with the republican platform in the
declaration that all taxation must be
exclusively for public purposes. The
supporters of Mr.. Blaine, cheerfully
accepting the issue, declared that
this was the only for revenue plank
of 1876 and the revenue only plank
of 1880 in a dangerous Disguise"
In opposing the proposition of
taxes for public uses exclusively,
the republican party virtually main
tanned the right and the propriety
of taxation for private benefit. In
no other way could the democratic
tariff plank be assaulted than by as
serting the converse of that propo-
sition. 1t had long been the custom
of the republican party to lay taxes
for the purpose of fostering monop-
olies. and monopolists had paid for
such legislation of other peoples
money into their pockets by liberal
contributions to campaign funds:
but not until the campaign Of 1884
did that party assert the justice and
eXpediency of such taxation MOI
would it have had the honesty to dc
so then if it had not been forced tc
do so by the happy wording of the
democratic platform.
To those who think there is nc
great, vital issue in our politics-no
thing to divide parties except ques
tions of administrative reform-wt
suggest that this issue has breadth
and vitality enough. 1t is an issue
that affects the right of every toilel
to the money that he earns, and il
must be settled by such revenue re
form as will cut the shackles which
republican legislation has thrown
around the limbs of American in
dustry.
The Palatka daily news. (Palatka, Fla.) 1884-1888, 1885-03-15

nets heretofore, ever since the dawn
of the period just named, have had
carriages for themselves and famll-
les furnished out of the taxes of the
people. They had liveried postll-
lions and horses with arched necks
and stables to suit, and all paid by
the people. Mr.. Cleveland's cabl-
net have ordered all these useless
and extravagant trapp'ngs sold, and
the money to be paid into the peo-
Piles treasury. Hereafter each Off
cial will walk, or pay his street rail
way fare and hack hire as other peo-
pie have to do. This will save the
government $4,000. This Is an
earnest of what is to follow under
democratic rule. This is the begin
ming of the breaking up of system
of extravaganza, folly and corrup-
ton fastened on the country by the
republican party. This means the
looping off of all excrescences and
the approach of a widespread pro-
gramme of economy and honesty.
People can see this sort of reform,
because it stops the expenditure of
their taxes and saves their money.
This is a return to the pure ways
and days of our forefathers. This
is pure and undefiled democracy IN
earnest. This is the way the peo-
pie want their public servants to do.
They want men when they go into
the public service to work for the
people and cease from being the
toadie' of monopoly. They want
the people taught lessons of econo
my, frugality, industry and honesty
at the the capital of the republic as
we'll as at every state capital in this
broad land.

A GOOD MOVE.

Mr.. Cleveland paid his way to
Washington for himself and family,
as any other citizen. Now he hasstar-
tied Washington society, says the
Nashville (Tenn.) World, by APP
pearing at his desk at a. m, while
all the rest of the city is wrapped in
the deep, sweet slumber that belat-
ed dissipation snatches from the
early morning hours. Some gentle
man wanted to talk to the president
about the Oklahoma matter ard de-
sired an hour set for that purpose.
Imagine his surprise when he was
told to call ut 6 a. IN. the next day.
He went out and told the first man
he met about it and very soon it was
all over the city. 1t appeared in
the newspapers the next morning
The clerks in all the departments,
thousands of them, male and female,
read the incident with wonder and
amazement. At last the true refor-
mer had landed in the city of sine
cures and idleness enjoyed at the ex-
pense of an overtaxed people. At
last a solid worker had come to the
front to set an example for the of
fee holders throughout the republic.
At last the death knell to the Gus
tom of billeting favorites upon the
public to be paid something for
doing nothing, is sounded. They
all said: "This new conner means
business. Here he is up with the
lark, after we have been larking all
night long. He is refreshed and re-
invigorated for his daily task, and
we are jaded by dissipation and
really unfit to do any thing, if we
had it to do. Our day has has come.
The hour and the man have come"
The city enjoys this sensation like
a tonic. The day of dudes has pass
ed and the time for work has come.
'SPublio Office is a trust this man
has said, and he is carrying it out.
Yesterday a lot of clerks and opera
tors about the White House were
dismissed by Col. Lamont, the pri-
vate secretary of the president.
They have been there ever since the
Grantian era, and their places will
not be supplied, because their servi-
ces are not needed. Sinecures are
being wiped out and their occupants
sent forth to earn a living in some
honest way. The members of eabi-

THE CABINET AND THE TARIFF

The Washington correspondent OF
the New York Times has examined
into matters and reports as follows:
'In their eager inquiries for Office
the democrats here have not given
much time to Analysing the cabinet
with view of reaching a conclusion
as to its attitude toward the tariff
question Judged by their views,
rs expressed in letters and speeches,
the president and his cabinet officers
can scarcely be acceptable to the
Randall protectionist. Mr. Cleve-
land has been understood to be ia
vorable to a tariff reform. Mr.. Bay
ards speeches in congress have been
of the most pronounced reform sort.
Mr.. Garland has spoken and voted
with the opponents of protection for
projections sake. Mr.. Lamar, in
the strongest speech during the tar
if debate of 1888, uttered a most
impressive warning against the dan
gers that were threatening from
worship of the giant protection.
"AIr. Endicott is a tariff reformer.
Mr.. Villas is called a free trader, so
positive are his views in opposition
to high protection. Mr.. Manning
has not spoken, but his paper is any
thing but protection organ. Mr..
Whitney is understood to be a tariff
reformer. If there is any doubt
about any Of these men, it can only
be as to two of them, and the best
the protectionist can do will only
enable them to get one or Two adj
herents out Of the eight gentlemen
who gather at the presidents official
table"

The Cost of the White House.


Washington Letter Cleveland Leader.
Most people believe that the $4,000 a
year which the President gets as his sala-
ry is the sum total. This is mistake
The estimate of the amount which Con-
gress is to appropriate this year lies be-
fore me, open at the pages relating to the
Presidpnt. 1 see that $50, 064 is asked for
him in addition to his salary of $50, 1000,
to pay the salaries of his subordinates and
clerks. His private secretary is paid
S3,250, his assistant private secretary
S2,250, his stenographer 81, 500, five mes
sengers each 81, 1900, a steward 800,
two doorkeepers who each get 81, 200,
four other clerks at good salaries, one
telegraph operator, two ushers getting
81, 200 and 81, 400, night usher getting
81 200, Waterman who gets 5000 and
a man to take care of fires who receives
1864 a year. In addition to this there is
set down S, 900 for incidental expenses.
such as stationery, carpets and the care
of the Presidential stables. And further
on, under another heading, there is a de-
mand for nearly $40, 900 more. Of this,
81. 500 is for repairs and refurnishing
the White House $500 is for fuel, 81,
600 is for the greenhouse and S15, 800 is
for gas, matches and the stables. The
White House, all told, costs the country
in connection with the President consid-
erably over S1s5, 900 year.

A Dull Day Among the Operatives The
Compromise Rejected.
The statement in yesterdays REGIsrER
thst the Feeders Union had rejected the
compromise was corroborated yesterday by
certain members of the union. The rejec-
ton of the compromise was considered such
q foregone conclusion that Monday after
noon q manufacturer expressed himself as
wiling to bet and give big odds that the
compromise would be rejected. Such,
indeed, was the result of the meeting
that it can at once be seen
that the Union feeders have cemented the
friendship between themselves and the man
ufacturers. On the first ballot the rejec-
ton was almost unanimous, only one mem.
Der out of the entire body favoring the com.
promise. The mills as usual had . quiet
day yesterday. About the same force was
at work as the day before.

SERIOUS
A Young Ma Probably Fatally Hurt by

A Young Ma Probably Fatally Hurt by
the Cars.
Joe Meyers, q young man living at
Glern's Run, met with a railroad accident
at the foot of Third street last night, which
will probably prove fatal. Meyers, who is
about twenty years of age, has been en-
ployed as a helper in the Laughlin mill, at
Msrtin's Ferry. AS he was out Of a job
and had heard of one at Plttsburg, he in
company with q companion named Wilson,
proposed to jump the six o'clock freight
tram and get a free ride to
their destination. As the train
hove in sight Meyers noticed an empty box
car with the door open. Just as it got op.
posite to him he sprsng for the iron bar on
the outside, but missing his footing fell
lepgthwise with bis feet resting on the rail.
The rtar trucks of the first car and the first
trucks of the next ran over him before he
managed by a spasmodic effort TO draw
bis manned limbs from the track. Persons
who ssw II accident went TO the young
mans assistance, and securing q door and
d mattress carried him to the City Hospital.
During the period Of delay necessary
to moving him the young
man displayed great courage and
iortitude in spite ofthe terrible suffering he
must have undergone. In answer to the
question of his friends as to how he felt, he
smiled slightly and said he guessed he was
done for. Drs. Burnie and Stitel attended
him shortly after the accident and examined
his injuries. His LETT loot and ankle had
been cut almost entirely in half and terri
bly, crushed. This leg will have to be am
putated to cave the mans life.
The right foot and ankle have been
broken in several places, but the
doctors do not think that smputstion Of the
second limb necessary. AS the young man
bad not recovered from the shocklast night,
it was decided to postpone the amputation
till this morning. A message was sent TO
Meyers father, so that he could be present
at the surgical operation. The young mans
condition, owing to the terrible shock re-
ceived, is considered precarious.
