A GOOD AMENDMENT.

The most creditable vote, and by far the
most important, that the Senate has yet taken
at This session on the tariff question was on
the adoption OF the amendment placing pro-
tectiye duties on tin plates. Except few
Democratic reformers, probably everybody
knows now that the Secretary Of the Treasury
some years ago made great blunder, because
he did not know that the so-called tin plates
are simply thin sheets Of iron or steel, covered
with tin, in weight only about one-twentieth
of the whole. The present tariff admits these
plates of iron or steel, when thus prepared by
an additional process, at a duty of only one
cent per pound, while the duties on the sheets
of iron or steel without such preparation are
from IL cent per pound plus Ia cent to 3 IA
cents plus IA cent. according to weight thin
ness and value.
The Senate amendment is hailed by The
Bulletin of the Iron and Steel Association" as
ca protective duty on tin plates at lastn II
it passed, as is presumed, in the form reported
the day before, the amendment actually re-
duces the duties on the thin sheets Of iron and
steel, from which the so-called tin plates are
or may be made, but provides that on and after
the lst day of January, 1890, all such iron
and steel sheets when located with tin OF
bead or with mixture Of which these metals
or either of them is a component part, by the
dipping or any other process, and commercially
known as tin plates, terne tin plates, and tag
gers tin, shall pay three-fOurths OF one-tenth
per pound more duty than the corresponding
gauges Of common or black sheets Of taggers
iron or STEEL"
Tho ohvious nurnose If this amendment ia tc
make the duties correspond more nearly with
the labor employed in the production Of the
different articles. It rests on the broad prin-

THE CONGO NEWS.

All news from the Congo requires careful
scrutiny and analysis. The letter from MAJOR
Parminter announcing Stanley's return to
Wadelai with the native force which he found
at the camp where Barttelot was murdered
seems decisive at the first glance; but the con-
illusions drawn from IL may prove premature.
He obtained his information from Lieutenant
Baert Tippoo Tbs secretary, who carried
SANKEY'S letter down the Congo from the rails
Station. Did he get later tidings In descend
inc the river in his canoe than Tippoo lib had
received? If he did not, the statement that
Stanley had returned TO Emin with the de
tachments originally recruited by Barttelot
and Jameson is only an inference drawn from
the letter which he was taking to the seaboard'
II. however he obtained later information In
passing the mouth of the Aruwhimi. his ac-
count is decisive.
II il not easy to determine whether Major
Parminter is reporting differences or facts. NO
details are given of landing at the mouth OF
the Aruwhimi IT Of the arrival OF subsequent
adyices from Stanley. Baerts assertion thai
Stanley did not intend to return second time
Ia the Congo since he told Tippoo lib that
he would MT see him again. is evidently an
inference from the first letter. The statement
that Stanley had not heard Of Jamieson's
death conflicts directly with the report that
he has returned east with the detachment re-
cruited by that officer. Major Parminters let
ter az it is tclegraphed from London, contains
several contradictory assertions. but is ground
ed in the main upon Stanley's letter to Tippoo
lib.
II Stanley was only willing to wait ten days
for Tippoo lib to reach his camp, and then de-
liberatey returned on his track, gathering up
such native forces as he found under Bonnys
command, there must have been urgent need
for haste That was short notice to serve
upon diatory African chief who was twelve
DAYS march TO the south. Having left Wadela
in May and arriving in the middle Of August
on the upper Aruwhimi, Thy should he have
considered it necessary TO turn about and travel
with a precipitate rush eastward He must
have been greatly concerned respecting Emins
safety, If he emerged in the Congo Valley only
to remain fortnight, and then to resume his
wearisome journey eastward. There are no
traces Of such anxiety in his letter to Tippoo
lib, and hence IL is difficult to understand why
he should have departed so quickly without
waiting for a reply from his ally and without
organizing a new expedition that would be ade-
quately equipped for service in the Equatorial
Provinces. In view of all these circumstances
the reports brought by Baert should be ac-
cepted with considerable reserve. Stanley has
undoubtedly returned TO Wadelai, but his exit
from the Congo Valley was probably less abrupt
than the dispatches have represented

4 LITTLE LEARNiNG IN CHARLESTON

A LITTLE LEARNiNG IN CHARLESTON
II ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Jones takes "The
Charleston News and Courier to-day, he finds
him mortified man. II can't be otherwise.
The Lieutenant-G Governor, as our readers
know, is accustomed TO weave into all his adj
vertisemepts the cheerful legend, and Jones
he pays the freight Now Mr.. Jones has doubt
less been flattering himself that it was univer-
sally known in North America that he was dis
tinctively the freight-payer. Imagine his feel
ngs, therefore, when he finds in reading this
benighted South Carolina journal that it act
ually is unaware that and Jones he pays the
freight"
The way in which this precious piece of ig-
norance is exposed is as amusing in its way
as the illiteracy Itself. THE TRIBUNE lately
referred to Mr.. Jones as IN available Demo
cratic Presidential candidate for 1892. Here
Is what we said on this point: Jones runs
better than Hill, is a more representative per-
son, has fewer entangling alliances, and then
he pays the freightn Now what does "The
News and Courier do in these circumstances
Rise with a voice suffused with emotion and
second the nomination Of Jones2 No. 1t
proceeds to give Laughter an occasion for hold
ing both his sides by taking on in this style:
Jones Z" runs better than Hill, is moro respectable
person, has fewer cntangng alliances, and then"-
shade Of Horace Greeley mark the words" he pays
the freights It is not because he Is popular or To
spectacle or has fewer enemies, but because he has
money, and IS willing to spend IL for the ad-
vancement of his political ends. In is intense dis
like Of Governor Hill, The Tribune unwitungly ex-
poses the nakedness Of its code OF political morals
the longest purse can buy the most votes, and the
man or party that commands the largest corruption
fund VIII win.
1t is not upon the principles involved in the settle
ment OF grave public questions and which touch the
very life of the Nation that Tho Tribune would
conduct the next Presidential campaign but upon the
corruption of the bailot-box. II Is not so much
whether the candidate vel, is respectable, has
few antaeonIsto alliances, but whether he, his
party acting for him, can "pay the freight
1t must occur to the Lieutenant-Governor
that he cannot allow this matter to rest where
it is Here is leading Southern organ Of the
Democracy plainly giving its constituency TO
understand that "and Jones he pays the
freight instead of being an Innocent promoter

Territory is to come in as one State. AS to
North Dakota and Washington, they are

purpose of keeping them out of the Union till
