Getting into Line,

WASHINGTON, April 11.--At democratic
caucus tonight a number of motions were
proposed as q basis OF compromise, ma
jority OF them looking to a pustponement
of the tax bill. A proposition by Offercl,
of Virginia, provided that the direct tax
bill be postponed until December 10TH
with the condition that when it is taken
up, reasonable time be allowed fo- debate
and vote taken on 1t.
Speaker Carlisle advocated the accept
ance of this proposed compromise, He
declared that the present proceedings were
OF the most extraordinary character ever
witnessed in a Legislative body, exhibiting
the spectacle of great majority retreating
before q small majority. He called on
Oates to state his position in the matter.
Oates replied that If he followed his
own views he would consent to no
measures that did not involve in total
defeat af the bill, but he was q democrat,
and If the caucus decided against him, he
would abide by the decision and support
with his vote,
Much debate followed and the caucus
finally adopted the following resolution:
Resolved, That on reassenibling to.mor-
row the house shall adjourn with the un-
derstanding that the committee on rules
will report a special order setting apart
Thursday, December q, 1885, Immediately
after reading the journal for the consider
alton OF the senate bill to provide for re-
funding OF the direct tax levied in 1861. In
which order reasonable time shall be al.
lowed foi debate and amendment. and
time Tor the vote on final passage shall be
fixed at O'Clock on the following Tues
dhy. Caucus adjourned at 11:20.

Our Nayyln Danger.

WAsHINGToN, April 10.-Commander
McCalla, of the u. 8. steamer Enterprise
has made long report to the secretary of
the navy, of the difficulty at Morocco.
After stating the general situation as al
ready published, the com mander says that
while he has no desire to pass upon the
question ss the equity OF the protection
system involved in the dispute, he is of the
opinion that as the rights of the United
States are very clear under the treaties,
they should be upheld so long as the pro-
visions Of the treaties are not modified.
While the Moorish officials should not be
held to the strictest accountability for the
violation Of conventisl rules adopted by,
more highly civilized nations, II is we'll to
understand that the oriental character is
quick to take advantage of the working of
such rules and to accept as rigbta point
which might occasionally be held. Consul
Lewis has, McCalla says, In the interest of
Cancellation and from the highest motives,
yielded at times when he was clearly sup.
ported by existing treaties, and might. with
propriety, have insisted upon the rights
they accorded. These same rights, 1t
would appear, very often have been ques.
toned when proteges Of any otner nation
have been under consideration The COM
mander says that the rights of the Uni'ed
States have been denied us, while the same
rights, under the same convention have
been freely accorded to other po wers repre-
sented. He says the United States govern
ment Is at disadvantage on account of
the fact that while all other powers that
were parties to the convention of 1880, are
represented by ministers resident, congress
only provides for q consul for us. The
commander thinks If the position could be
raised to q diplomatic one we should go
far towards preventing questions which
frequently arise now.

The Irish Question,

LONDON, April 11.-Gladstone, speaking
at the national liberal club tonight, criti-
cised w. II. Smiths reply to Sir Edwin
Watkins, in the house OF com ons, in re-
fusing extension of local government in
Ireland. Gladstone said Smith had entirely
dispeled the brightest idea OF two million
loyalsts. The question was whether the
Irish were to be permitted to entertain the
act upon purely political opinions.
The Irish did not enjoy such previliges of
yet they were to remain thus tilt they
abandoned an idea which, in his opinion,
was dearer to them then life. 1t was only
natural that the Irish should utilize every.
thing In their representatives institutions
to promote their dearest purpose. He was
change OF public opinion in England and
thought Smiths declaration was scanda-
lous and dishonoring to the English ma.
ton.

lows: That this policy Of the democratic

carry out the presidents idea that tariff
tax Is robbery Of the people, constitutes
piece of unparalleled political dishonesty,
having for its sole object the success of the
democratic party at the next election, even
at the expense Of the practical destruction
of many Of our most important agricultur-
al and manufacturing interests. We favor
policy of providing chiefly for revenues
of the general government, and for other
purposes essential to general government.
a system OF duties levied upon imports so
djusted as to discriminate in favor of do
mestic industries and productions and in
favor of American labor, and we declare in
favor of reducing the annual revenues OF
the government by admitting free of duty
such articles of general use as cannot be
largely produced or manufactured by our
own people. That we deprecate the at
tempt OF the democratic administration to
degrade the honest toll Of America to a
level with the pauper labor of the old
world.
