The NEW YORK SIN says the reason Of
the recent defeat of the tariff bill in the U

are more protectionists than free traders
among the people of the country. But that
is not the reason. The reason is that thirty

and therefore as tariff reformers. and as sup.

A coLoRED man is candidate for the re-
publican nomination for Lt..Governor OF
Pennsylvania. Except for the colored vote
in Pennsylvania that State would not be
republican,; but the colored man referred to
stands no chance Of achieving the
object of his ambition. The only
place for colored men to hold
Office, according to the ideas of the repub.
licans of Pennsylvania, is in the South, and
among democratic majorities. In Pennsyl-
vapia. according to the same ideas, they
must be satisfied with the privilege of vot.

every election.

GENERAL MAHoNE is so ratified by his
rapidly approaching enforced retirement
from Congress that he is dazed, and, through
his Washington organ, talks about Major
Holmes Conrad, of Winchester, being pos
sbie candidate for Congress in this district,
apparently not knowing that Winchester is
not in this, the Sth, but in the 9TH district
of his State. No matter whom the demo
Gratis may nominate in this district he will
be elected but from all accounts the Gen.
eral is by no means sure that his candidate
in his own district will be equally as sue.

elected to the Senate by democratic votes
he assisted General Malone in giving the

He is very large man and his selfshness is

WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE %.

Mr.. RANDALL having killed the tar'n
bill that would have benefited every poor
man. woman and child in the country no"
nrepares a tariff bill of his OVID, the cnle'
feature of which is the removal OF the Tax
on tobacco and on certain quantities anu
qualities of liquor, his object being to make
the revenue from customs as great OF great
er than at present, in order to offset the
falling off in the receipts from Internal rev
epue Now, there is no good reason why
the tax on the Virginia farmers tobacco
and on the little brandy he dstills from his
surplus apples and peaches should be taxed;
bnt still tobacco and liquor are luxuries
which those rich enough to use should be
willing to pay for with the additional
cost of the tax. How different is it with
the necessaries of life! Comparatively, ie"
people use tobacco and liquor; but every
body, poor as we'll as rich, has to De ieo'
clothed and housed, and medicined when
sick; and to the poor, the double price they
are forced by the existing tariff to pay tor
the means of living is grieVcus Durden'
which they can i'll afford to bear.

AS GOOD many congressman, chiefly
Northern republicans, have bought, accord
ing to newspaper reports, Pacific railroads
stock aud bonds during the last month, with
the idea that the bill now before Congress
for extending the time during which those
roads can pay their Indebtedness to the
Government will pass, and thereby cause
rise in the price of those stocks and bonds,
it is not unlikely that the adjournment OF
Congress may be postponed, as while the
interested members referred to, will fight for
the passage of that bill. the members who
have made no such purchases will oppose it
to the utmost. And of such'is modern Con-
gressonal legislation.

THE CONFIRMATION of quite number OF
Virginia nominations at last Friday even
ing's executive session of the Senate, as pub
lished in the GAZETTE of the following day
in advance of all the other newspapers, in
duces the belief that Gen. Malone with
drew his opposition to them for the purpose
of concentrating it upon Mr.. Goode and a
few other special enemies, and ofinducing his
republican colleagues to believe that he is not
SO malignant asreported, and tha.he only de-
sires the rejection of such nominations as
they may think should be rejected. The
Generals present straits require great
deal of cunning, and his actions prove that
his possession of that quality has not been
diminished by advancing age.

1T Is THE WISH.

The suggestion that President Cleve-
d land will supplement Lis message to
Congress in which he failed to mention
Utah with a special one devoted exclu-
siyely to affairs OF this Territory, dis
plays the densest degree OF ignorance.
and not only that. but discovers the
meanest kind Of wish as father 20 the
Ug isst of thoughts. To ignore the
Mormon question in his annual mes
sage, aud then call attention to it in q
special message would be to make the
President the laughing stock Of Con-
gressmen and the public. Such a pro-
ceeding would be equivalent to saying
that in the opinion of the President all
the matters 70 which he had referred in
his message were of such Insignificant
moment that they could be grouped
and passed hurriedIy, but the great
Mormon question was the sll-important
Rfair of the nation, dwsrfng all others
and demanding special urging of Con-
gress by the executive. When the gen
tlemen who have been talking about
a special message come TO think
the matter over, don't they feel
Z little ashamed at their own yer
dsncy and at their reflection on the in
telhgence and craftsmanship of the
President?
There will be no special message call
ing attention to affairs in Utah. Mr.
Cleveland knew what he was about
when he wrote his message; if il his
opinion the Utah problem and situation
had been of sufficient importance to
demand further attention at the hands
of Congress, he would have said 50. Toe
fact is, the President could find no &C
cssion for mentioning the Territory: he
could discover no necessity for further
legislation, when the lsw-making branch
Of the government had gone as far in
the matter of legislating against a re.
Iigious belief and practice as the COnsti-
tuition would permit it to go; he could
see no reason why he should ask for al
ditionaI authority for the application of
he law which was being enforced more
rigidIy and with greater certainty in lis
effect than any other statute in the
book. As result OF a careful and in
telligent viewing Of the field, Mr.. CIeve-
land concluded, as every other intelli-
rent man would have done under the
circumstances, that there was nothing
10 say in regard'to Utah, and he had
he wisdom and courage 70 say nothing.
