OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
How sherman's Candidacy is Regarded
at the Capitol Growing Belief that
Blaine will be the Nominee.
from our Regular Correspondent

From our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, April Is.
Presidential probabilities and possibilities
are again the principal topic of conversation,
as the tariff question although very important
is apt To become some hat monotonous after
few days constant discussion. The sfrang-
est thing 70 me about the present situation
from a Republican view, is that in spite OF
the fact that Senator Sherman's managers are
claiming everything in sight in the shape OF
delegates and are predicting the Senator
nomination On the second or third ballot at
the outside, no other prominent Republicans
seem 70 think that the Senator from Ohio has
a ghost Of show of getting the nomination
his candidacy is rather looked upon as kind
Of humorous affair by those republicans
who are rot actively engaged in whooping up
things for him. But to Mr.. Sherman and HE
followers it il hard work, night and day, and
il they are not really confident of victory
they certainly simulate it we'll. The friend-
OF all the other candidates seem to be resting
on their oars, 50 to speak. In fact the echoes
from the recent State conventions have been
20 unanimously in favor of James e. Blaine
that the oth-r candidates have wisely con
eluled to step aside; it is much easier than
getting run over. Another noticeable fea
ture Of the situation is that many Republl-
cans who we're bitterly opposed TO the nomi-
nation of Blaine in 1884 are now enthusiasts
tically in favor of his nomination this year,
for one or another reason one will say that
a. the tariff is to be the leading issue this year
that it is only fair for the Republicans to put
the most prominent protect onist forv ard as
their champion; another will say that he
believes Blaine was cheated out of his elec-
ton in 1854 and that he should be renominat-
ed yindcation others say that careful
survey VI the field and of the merits of all
of the available Republican candidates has
convinced them that Mr. Blaine is the strong
est candidate that the Republicans could
possibly put forward and believing more i'll
the success of the party than that of AIRY
individual they favor the nomination of Mr..
Blaine, though their personal preferences is
for another man.
Unless Mr.. Blaine dies or becomes seri-
ously i'll before the meeting of the Chicago
convention he will be nominated by that
convention, and believe that he will accept
the nomination and make the fight no matter
hat his personal incina,ions may be. Mr.,
Blaine is only human, and the man who
would refuse a nomination for the presidency
by either of the two great political parties OF
the country has not, in my opinion, been
born yet.

SUGAR SHOULD BE FREE.
Gen John w. Foster Believes in Free
Sugar, but Not in Free Trade.

General John W. Foster of Washington
ex United States Minister to Spain. was in
New York last week When asked in regard
special study of the present features of the
Mills bill. Some articles could well be put
on the free list, and sugar is among them. he
added The handful of sugar planters in
Louisiana cannot produce enough to supply
the demand, nor even moiety.
If there was chance of any State produc-
ing enough sugar TO supply the demand of
home consumption then believe the indus
try should be fostered by protection Bui
there is no such chance. The planters thus
rar have not made success. and it would b,
folly to protect few while the masses have
TO pay high prices for Il necessity, for sugar
is indeed a necessity. | believe in protection
though and do not think the country could
prosper under a free trade system. There is
no reason why we should not have all tn.
trade of Cuba. but as it is it goes to foreign
countries. Although Cuba supplies the
United States with the bulk of the sugar con
sumed here she does not trade with us to any
extent. 1t seems to me We have fearfulls
overlooked our own interests"
Mr. Foster. like nearly all Republicans
who have studied the question, sees the
wisdom of largely reducing the sugar
duties, if not entirely abolishing them.
Representive Milliken. as well as Rec
and Mckinley, the ablest members of the
Ways aud Means Committee, are level
headed on this subject.

No Immigrants for Louisiana

The sober second thought of the better
class Of the Democratic journals in Louis
lana is showing them the tremendous
bluuder their party managers were guilty
of in fixing the majority they were to
figure out at 10000 or 10000 when 5000
would have served their purpose. The
Madison DAD Times. a strong McEnery
organ. remarks:
"Orlv suspension of the law could pro-
dnce such an unnecessary and eyaggerat ID
majority. and Louisiana, aud the Democratic
party, if it iudorses such methods. will be-
come hy-worl and a reprosch. A weapon
has been put into Republican hands to break
Democratic heads. and the heads viii surely
suffer. A mistake has been made. and it
won't be long before every body will know it, :
This is nothing more than what the Gov
ernor himself freely admitted in all the
breadth of its implications, in his canvass
against Nichols for denomination, and of
which there is as clear proof as of the
battle of New Orleans in 1915. Yet the
mere citation of 1.-THE of the terrible facts
is termed by the Democratic and Mug
wump newspapers, raising the bloody
shirt.

European Views OF the Surplus

The British Saturday Review of April
2l,contains an expression of European
financial opinion regarding the surplus in
the United States Treasury. After con-
sidering in detail the uncertain and some
what depressed condition of trade and
manufactures in the civilized world gen
orally, IL Gays that much depends, for
Europe "a well as for America, on the
action Of Congress respecting the surplus.
OF the American commercial condition it
remarks:
The check to trade in the United States is
due to the artificial accumulation of money
in the Treasury, NJ we explained fortnight
ago and it seems incredible that measures
will not be adopted 10 prevent crisis such
would disorganlzc the whole industrial
system of the Union. If remedial measures
are adopted, improvement will Immediately
set in. and great improvement in the nted
1tates would have a powerful effect upon
Europe also.
II aScribes to the apprehension Of war
something of the Europ an DEF r'ssipn,
and then, reverting To affairs on the west
crn side of the Atlantic, il says:
Apart from politics. however the signs are
that the improvements now going on will be
greatly accelerated if the United States Com
gress adopts such measures as will not only
prevent the accumulation in the Treasury for
the future but will also enable the Secretary
of the Treasury to pay out the vast surplus
now locked mp. If, on the other hand, Con
gress should separate without adopting RENE
dial measures. there might be n continuance
of appro hensou in the United States which
for n time Mt least. would unfavorably affect
trade, since it might disturb the European
money markets.
Commenting on and making use of the
above language of n British Tory puhlca-
ton, the New York Star, q Cleveland or
gan, says there is no Intelligent and com
petent observer who does not perceive and
admit that there is a great deal dcpende at
upon the speedy adoption by Congress Of
remedial measures which will stop surplus
accumulation, iuspirit manufacture and re-
vive trade, But the Star forgets to say what
is so obviously suggested by the present
situation of things of Washington, that
the whole question of the surplus could
he adjusted in short order by turning back
on the wild scheme of the Free Traders,
entirely removing or greatly reducing the
duties on sugar aud largely cutting oil the
internal revenues, keeping intact nation
nj receipts sufficient TO balance Just aud
necessary expenditures. This plan of
remedy IL so simple, so easily executed,
that none can object to it, unless they are
moved by partisan considerations or
sectional interests and prejudices, and had
rather the surplus should continue and
millions be locked up in the Treasury. I'M
less their pet measure, the Mills tariff bill
ahomination, is adopted. These men
think Of party and faction interests before
they do the good of the country.

Why the Internal Revenue Taxes Should
Be Repealed.

They were war taxes. and the war has been
over almost twenty-five years.
They just equal the surplus in the treasury ;
a fact which proves that Government does not
need them.
They disturb the finances of the country
by locking up vast sum OF money that
ought to be in circulation.
They pervert the legislative conscience by
presenting an immense revenue reason
for the continuance of tax on the poor OF
the country.
The taxes are oppressive to those industries
that use large amount of alcohol IN theii
processes, compelling them to pay treble OIL
qualruple price for raw material.
They aid ami abet a tremendous monopoly
They support army of officials at an tx
pense of 81 600, 900 annually.
They protect business that does more
than all others combined TO ruin manhood ane
COOL citizenship.
The brewers and distllers do not wlsf
them removed. The inference is plain tina
the tax-s help their business What benefits
them it is impossible for temperance people
to approve. CHARLES HEBER CLARKE.

New York Opinion.

Judge j. :. l.. Amoreaux, of Ballston,
who ran for Controller ON the New York
Republican State ticket last year, has
decided opinions and does not hesitate to
express them. In conversation the other
day with n rabid aut-Blaiue man the
Judge said "let me tell YOU about
Saratoga county. If a poll was taken of
Republicans of that county to-day as to
their Presidential preferences, nineteen
twentieths of them would declare for
James G.. Blaine. When | make that
statement | am deliberately liberal and
complimentary to the minority in giving
them SO large percentage as one
twentieth. | do not know what others
may think to be good .party policy, but |
know that ii seems to me that the wishes
of the majority should rule. If the Demo
Gratis had nominated Tilden again in 1850.
they would have elected him. We do not
want to fall into their error of throwing
overheard our strongest man."
The Rutland Herald, well conducted
and influential Vermont Republican Jour
nal says that everywhere Republicans are
suggestive in their statements of the party
faith and doctrine, of protection of en-
enlargement TO our shipping and national
defence on land and sea. and taking bold
ground on the growing and vital tenn
perance issues. The party has principles
that Ii believes in to fight for, American
interests, labor and capital to defend, and
American homes to protect against the
organized liquor interests and their des-
truetive business. Since the war Repub-
leans have not been so earnest and united
on great principles and policies, so full of
faith and fight, or so little distracted by
the wars and jealousies of rival and selfish
leaders.

Here and There.

The first number of The Review" the new
Democratic weekly published at Skowhegan
has just reached us. The typographical
appearance is most creditabe. The
editorials are direct and vigorous and the
announcement claims that the paper S
Democracy will be of the simon pure
variety, and asks its readers to judge of this
from its columns. If the first issue is a
neighbor, we should say your Democracy
was the genuine Free Trade Bourbon article.
We are glad to note that the Review in its
beginning seeks to advance its cause by
' gorous candid argument instead of personal
vituperation.

ATLANTA UNIVERSITY
Interesting Letter from John g. Whit

Professor Bumstead of Atlanta Univer-
sity has succeeded in securing 81 900 of
the 5000 required to make good the
$1,000 withdrawn by the Legislature of
Georgia, and the additional $1,000 for cur
rent expenses. II is of great importance
that the remaining sum be raised, in order
that the undertaking may be completed be

place the last of the present month. The

AMFsurRY. Mass, 4th mo-, 80, 1888.
Horace BrMsTEAp:
DeGr frttHd--l heartily approve the re-
fusal of the officers of the Atlanta University
to Weld to the demands f the State of Geor-
gia, which required on their part the aban-
donment of the principle of equal rights and
privileges, irrespective of color, upon which
the institution was founded and d.
rect violation of the pledges made to those
who have so genera sly contributed to its
support Whether the State of Georgia can
afford to requite in this way the large liber-
altv of the people of the North, who have
built up this noble institution for the educa-
ton of her colored youth, is question for
her to solve but for the college itself there
was no other course possible than the one it
has taken. TO yield to the unreasonable
demand would be not only breach of trust,
but an insult to the five hundred young men
and women who are its students.
BY the liberty loving people of the North
there is but one thing TO be done, and that
speedily The college must not suffer. If
Georgia, to crafty an unchristian and I'M
democratic prejudice. refuses to help herself
in the education of her colored youth, the
people of other States must help her. A
prompt. determined effort must be made to
supply the deficiency in the income of the
university. | am truly thy friend
