The Tariff and Surplus.

The remarks OF MIR. Morrill, of Vermont
in the Senate, Thursday, in regard to the
reduction of taxation and lessening the
surplus. did what the President failed to
do in his Message, indicated plain. SEN
sible way of accomplishing the object de-
sired without financial or business disturb
ance. The republicans of the Senate and
the country are not opposed % but in ia
vor of changes in the tariff to reduce the
revenue aud keep the surplus in the treas
ury within prudent limits, but they pro-
pose to have chances made in such 4 wav
as not to injure or impede American labor
and industries in competition with foreign
labor and capital. MIR. Morrill, pointed
out the steps by which this may be accom-
plished, making an effective opening IN
what will doubtless be one of the most
important debates in the Senate. Senator
Sherman followed in forcible remarks.
MIR. Beck, from the democratic side asked
a few questions. but avoided making any
remarks to Indicate the course which his
party will pursue. The timidity of the
democrats on the tariff question is very
noticeable. They are evidently afraid OF
burning their fingers if they touch it.

CAMERON, March II.
Ep. FREEMAN:-The facts should
be known in regard to the failure of
our last Grand Jury to find indict-
ments against the liquor sellers.
The Grand Jury was not to blame.
The fault was in the action of our
Prosecuting Attorney, with the in
fuence of other public officials.
It seems that prior to the meet
ing of the Grand Jury, plan was
fell upon by certain officials, that
a bond should be presented to vio-
lators OF law for their signatures,
whereby they pledged themselves
to pay off the fines and costs of for
mer indictments, and "quit the
business, on condition there
should be no further indictments
found this IN the face of the fact
that between 200 and 300 witness
es were already summoned on liq-
uor cases.
Under all these circumstances
the plan was almost unanimously
accepted by the saloon men. To
the Grand Jury, be it said to their
credit, the plan was not accepta-
BILE, but they were prevailed on by
officials to accept it, because, first,
many of the witnesses had been
notified that they need not come,
and second, because the prosecuting
attorney declared that if the sa-
loonists failed to live up to their
agreement faithfully, he would
smite them hip and thigh , that
be would treat the saloons as nui-

sances, tear down the buildings,
and con6scate their property.
And now, as the game was sue
cessful on the part Of the saloonists,
the result is, they have closed in
front, and opened the back door,
and sales go on as before, with many
of them.
OF this the officials have been
notified, and we now look to them
for tbs fulfllment of their part of
the contract Yours &c,

From My Maryland.
A Noble Victim Falls, uho Walked
Eight Miles 10 Vote against.
HIS Enemy.
Pull, Bruce, Pull!

ED. FREEMAN :-Inclosed | send
you a clipping, which occurred to
re might well be copied and read
by everyone interested in our cause,
particularly the young ladies, who
WELD such an influence over the
youth of our land.
A sad event took place in our
community, last Christmas week,
in the death of high toned hon
orable gentleman, who walked
eight miles, at our last election, to
vote for Local Option. He said,
Gould but assist in suppressing
the dens of iniquity, and so keep
them out of my way, [ could grow
strong again" But trusting to his
acquired strength, after an absti.
nence of a year, on visit to Pied
mont, he was overcome by the
tempter, and unable to withstand
the egg-nogg, &C., of the season,
fell victim to his old enemy and
died from the effects, on Sunday
night after Christmas He was a
highly cultivated and refined gem
tleman, but had unfortunately
been a slave to intemperance,
which always kept hina from &C.
cupying the place to which nature
and cultivation both entitled him.
During the election here, last year,
our women threw their whole soul
energies into the cause, and hav-
ing determined 10 leave nothing
undone, decided to 60 to the polls,
even, if they could by that means,
break the letters that bound their
loved ones in such a fearful ana,
conda grip, The noble wife of one
of cur noble pastors, suggested our
gathering strength for our work by
prayer, and accordingly we assem-.
bled at the church. While she had
the bell rung and as she earnestly
called: 'FBuU, Bruce, pull and
strike terror to the hearts of the
liquor dealers, and let them know
we are in earnest" the thought
occurred to me, would that some Of
our gifted ones could immortalize
these stirring words in verse, that
would, like the striking of the
rock by Moses, bring forth pure
fresh, and sweet water. Let them
know mother is in earnest, plead
ing at tbs throne on high, for bel
boy a devoted wife intercedes FOL
the husbands delivery and safety
the companion and protector of hel
life, the staff and counsellor of hel
declining years; and the sister
asks that God will save and shield
her playmate, and brother. Yes
let us pull, friends; pull together,
with all Of our might, and strike
terror indeed to the hearts Of the
liquor men, and let them know We
are in earnest, desperately IN earnest
and with Gods help, we will, like
Miriam of old, yet sound the loud
timbrel and proclaim our loved
ones reclaimed, redeemed, and safe
from the foul demons ruthless
sway. FERNLElGH.

Dear Friends Of the w. @. T. u.
of W. Va:
l think the time has come when
we should move upon the line of
Scientific Temperance instruction
in our State. / have noted with
great interest the efforts made by
our National Superintendent of
this Department, to have the youth
of the District.of Columbia, of all
toolors and grades, taught the effects
Of alcohol upon the human system.
We the Temperance people of West
Virginia desire such law and in
tend to work for it, ask for it, and
pray for it.
go this end, as State Supt.
of this Work, l ask every woman
in the State to earnestly aid in
this line during this year. dc
ask all Christians, regardless of
party affiliations to give us their
support. We wish to have the
children taught to choose and dis
Germ what is tor their ultimate
good.
The mothers of our little Noun
tain State are in earnest. Who
can with stand a mothers tears3
We ask the Legislature that will
convene to protect our childrensby
lnstructing them.
We do not feel that we are ask
ing too much ia fact we believe
that our request bears the proper
lions of the ''ounce of prevention to
the pound of cure"
Presidents Of local Unions will
