Sherman at West Point.

Gen. Sherman never speaks but he
says something worth hearing. In pre-
senting diplomas to the West Point grad
yates, recently, he remarked that he had
looked at one Of their diplomas, and it
WAS exactly like one he had received
forty,nine years ago. Then he said:
Now, young gentlemen after you get home
end have little vacation, which will slip by pref
ty fast, Iel you, you will get another parchment,
and that viii be your commission, which you
should read carefully, and remember that it Is

That "Esob ber,,'EarsfT.

Augusta, Ga, Chronicle dem. ):Gen
Toomhs pithily said that figures did not
lie when properly used. The Charleston
News and Courier and other low tariff
and free trade papers are constantly
damning what they are pleased to call
the "robber tariff" The Southern
reader is left under the impression
that he is constantly plundered by this
tariff, AMI, to continue the elegant
Simite and the logic Of the low tariff
and free-trade press, receives none of
the stolen goods. OF the $2l3, 500 ,S0l57
of duties collected on goods imported
into the United States during 1883,
$50, 900, 600, or within sl1 ,000, 900 of one
third of the whole amount collected,
was exclusively for the benefit of
Southern farm products, such as tObac-
co, sugar, mOlasSeS and rice.
According to the logic Of the News
and Courier, in speaking of what it is
pleased to term 1.-The robber tariff, "
the most gigantic imposition upon the
consumers of rice is the duty of 112 per
cent, imposed by congress for the bene-
tit of the rice planter We have fire.
quently asked The News and Courier
whether or not it justified the 112 per
cent. tax for the protection of the rice
planter, but 1t makes no response. The
value Of the rice imported in 1855 was
-, 43i ,S13,22, and the duty collected
was l,796, Sll.l5. According to the
logic of The News and Courier, the
consumers of rice in this country paid
tribute to the rice planters in an
amount equal TO the duties collected by
The government at the. custOmhouse.
OF all the so-called robberies of the
tariff the rice imposition is the most
gigantic, and yet The News and Cour-
iss is as dumb as an oyster on this
question. The tariff is denounced as a
robbery but the greatest of all pro
tected articles goes without protest or
complaint from our Charleston cor
temporary. In all fairness The News
and Courier cannot be effective in its
protests against the tariff until it is
consistent and calls for the knife of
reform and reduction to be applied to
rice as well as TO other articles And
when this done what becomes of the
rice planters of Georgia and South
Carolina?

All the heroic souls who helped al
yohn.town have had their due need OF
praise except the newspaper reporters.
The reporter is man literally whose
work speaks for him. He is rarely men
iionai, and then sometimes not with entire
respect. But wherever pluck, endurance,
shrewlness, intelligence and manly cour-
age are needed, there the reporter is
found. and is equal to the occasion. He
may SO cold and hungry, be may be
beaten by the pitiless storm. he may
have no sleep for half a week. but he
must get the news before the people.
What does anything else matter? His
own personal discomfort few know, and
none seem to care for. After the Johns
town disaster those who really suffered
the most physically were probably the
brave and untiring reporters who got the
facts and told the story Of the great
calamity SO we'll They deserve the
thanks of their fellow countrymen.

Jim iliii to the Front.

President Henry d. Minot has stood
firmly for the position that al business
north and west of St. Paul belonged to
the Lake Superior lines. At meeting
of the Chicago road managers, held in
that city last week, no agreement was
reached for division of traffic, and the
Eastern at once took the bull by the
horns, announcing the following rates
by way of the Northern Steamships
line and Superior:
From New York and Boston 20 st.
Paul, 5TSt, 50; second 50; third, AZ
fourth, 80; fifth, 80; Sixth, 26. New
York and Boston to Superior, 80, %, II,
30, Is, %, Circulars containing the
notices of these rates were mailed 10
the other lines.
This completes at one stroke of rail
road legislation what Jim Hill has been
toiliug for for years, and what every
Chicago road should have seen more
than two years ago was inevitable. 100
miles is less by considerable than 4225
miles And Hill merely bidcd his
time until he had built up behind him
a complete system of railroads, with
out antagoniZing other strong roads,
before making the master stroke. This
new table of rates to the East, is the
elimination of the greatest piece of
grand strategy of railroad and for tune
building that has ever been accomp-
l!shed in the West, if not on this con
tinent. 1t places Hill alongside of
the great generals. He has devised
schemes to deceive that would have
done credit to Napoleon. lie has al
layed suspicious of any intent to enter
the territory of rival roads, until he
was strong enough to beard them sue
cessfully. He has evaded the Chicago
roads until everything was complete
straight routes, heavy tracks, low
grades, superb equipments backed by
the wealthiest and shreWdest tinanciers
in this country or Canada. And now
he has made his challenge to the powers
his battle Of Austerlitz. And Sup
erior is his capital.
Let the Chicago roads look to Iowa.
For this cold break of the Eastern will
set on foot other Independent spirits,
ana Stickney and Winter Will lay siege
to the very doors OF the distance line
which divides that state by nature into
half Chicago and half Superior country

The Eastern Nzinneso:a.

The Eastern Minnesota'S new train
service has been most successfully in
augurated. Both morning trains were
well patroniZed and arrived at their
destination promptly on time. The
train leaving here III the morning was
delayed somewhat this side of Ilinckley
by gravel train and so extra speed
was made. Between Partridge and
Hinckley, a distance of ii miles, the
remarkable time of II minutes and IS
seconds was made; between Anoka
and Minneapolis junction, II miles
Is minutes. The Business Men S
Special" did not arrive in time owing
to a blockade on the Manitoba below
Mora, caused by the extra carrying OF
troops which we're returning from Lake
City. When nearing uinckley the
train ran into herd Of cattle, knock
ing several COWS right and left, but,
strange 10 say, killing none. There
was an exciting race for several miles
between this train and one on the n. p.
The latter had an engine with larger
cylinders and so gained on the up
grades, while the Eastern forged ahead
on the level Now it was the n. p.
that was ahead and now the Eastern.
Finally the latter showed its rear car

a Peculiar appointment.

CHARLESTON, s. c., June Is. The
announcement that President Harrison
intends to appoint Rev. r. w. Mem
niger as postmaster of this city causes
much comment. Mr.. Memingcr is a
son of c. 6. Meminger, who was sec
rotary of the treasury of the Confed-
eracy. He is in entire accord with the
presidents southern policy, but is in
favor of getting the negro cut of poll
ties and solidifying the white race. MI.
Meminger is assistant rector of the
Grace Episcopal church of this city and
is the author of a series of articles on
the negro problem in the south.
