A nunrtrr of . centnrr.

What great changes nquarter Of o century
brings about. Nearly twenty-five years ago
tho waters Of Mobile bay were tho scene Of
one Of the flercest naval encounters Of mod
ern times, and tho city itself was shut OF by
strong defenses from the approach Of vessels
bearing the United States flag. Today we
welcome officers wearing tho uniform OF the
United States as friends and brothers, and il
is one Of our dearest hopes that Uncle Sans
war vessels will often steam past our wharves
or anchor in front of our city, and that a
navy yard for the construction and repair OF
such vessels will be located at Mount Vernon.
Twenty-Five years ago the flag Of the
United States was the ensign Of an enemy
today it is the flag we love-the emblem to us
Of defense and protection, Of development Of
our resources and Improvements Of our natu-
raj advantages When its silken folds are
spread to the breeze it tells us Of restored
and indissoluble Union OF indestructible
states 1t is our flag, it is our navy, just as
much as they belong to other portions of our
country
Over the waters of Hampton roads, where
once the Merrimac and Monitor waged a ter
rife conflict that revolutonized modern naval
warfare, United States war vessels now
steam on their way TO the navy yard at Nor
folk. Their presence there is not only sign
OF national power, but also of national benef

case in Mobile bay, where tho waves chant a

Miss Jeanette Matthews will be mar
ried to Justice Gray of the United States
Supreme Court on the 9th of June in
Washington. The bride.elect one day
last winter was at her dressmaker's, and
a friend who dropped in suggested that
the gown she was ordering would be
extremely chic if a little pale rose silk
was introduced. Miss Matthews thought
the idea good one, and few weeks
later her friend received a note from her
announcing her engagement and a
line saying: II think the gray
gown with the dash of pink
in it had something to do with it. +"

NEWSPAPER OPINION.
Animus Of the Parnen Commission.

Animus of the Parnell Commission.
New York Sun.
Has any one harbored an doubt that
the Parnell Commission was organized,
not as court Of justice, but as an
engine of unfair discrimination against
the Irish Nationalist leaders? If SO, that
doubt will be dispelled by the announce.
ment, apparently, official. that the
Commission report will not be
submitted to the House of Commons be-
far as the judicial declaration Of the
Commission may be needed to relieve Mr..
Parnell from the stigma which the Lon
don Times stroye to fix upon him, the ex-
oneration is to be with held for more
than twelvemonth after the public ex.
posure of the forgery Of the incrimina-
ting Documents
To appreciate the iniquity of this post.
ponement of Judgment, we must again
recall the very facts which the dilatory
| policy of the commission is intended tC
efface from the memory; namely the cir
cumstances under which the extraordi
nary tribunal was formed.
The abstract question whether the
Irish constitutional party has been il
collusion with the party of physica
force, must be left to the verdict of his
tory. 1t is not one of those controver
sizes which any judicial body can de
| termine On the other hand the con
crete inquiry whether this or that Ma
tionalist leader has been an accessory tC
a particular crime should be relegated to
the ordinary machinery of justice Al
extraordinary tribunal, like that Parnel
Commission, was not needed to try th
latter issue, and is not competent to tr,
the former. Yet 1t is the indefinite
elusive, abstract. historical question
which has thus far occupied and is T.

employed in considering the simple con
troversy touching the authorship of cei

olence nor greed. They pay according to

There are other employers not few,

necessity, but of amount of profits.
Some of them think the wages of work

plate reduction under the pretence OF
actual necessity elsewhere There re-
main other establishments, not few,
which have no reasonable ground for re-
ducing wages. The wages paid are not
above the general rate, and the profits
are as large as should be expected.
And yet the Republican politicians
have been teaching that manufacturers
were agents of charitablesoci iety to dis
tribute the surplus wealth of the country.
The conclusion from all of these extracts
is that the disasters in the highest pro
tected trades have brought the Tribune
to its senses The impossibility of re
conciling the condition of the shipping
interests, the iron, the coal, the steel,
the salt and many other industries with
the theory that protection makes prosper
Gus trade, creates a home market and
secures higher wages, is too apparent to
need comment The protectionists can
not maintain 1t against the odds. They
are forced by financial disasters to aban-
don an argument that was specious but
pretty. The Tribune advocates rednc-
tion of the tariff.
Evening journal., 1889-05-20

NEVER was more persistent effort
made by hundreds of distranchised Re.
publicans, once more having succeeded
in getting assessed to pay their taxes, and
never has a more determined effort been
made to keep them from paying their
taxes. Had the collectors gone
to work week ago as they should have
done, at least 9, 600 tax payers could have
paid their taxes and the empty county
treasury would have been at least $3, 900
better off. Sunday Star.
Bosh Had the hundreds Of disfran-
chised Republicans. who, as is admitted
above, were assessed four years ago, paid
their taxes regularly every year they
would never have been returned as
errors, and consequently would not
need the stimulus of an election or
Doodle to make them qualify for voting.
It is not so much the empty county
treasury that worries the Republican
howlers as the lack Of opportunity to
purchase votes.

THE Republicans everywhere seem
given to hysteria. They claim to out

honesty, more intelligence, more money,
more patriotism, more everything
than the Democrats. They put their
hands to their breasts and thank God

not like that poor Democrat who can
neither get a pension nor an office Then
they raise their voices and howl that they
are being cheated. In this very city

ONE of the Pennsylvania iron manu-
facturers recently returned from tour
Of investigation through the South, says
that the furnaces are more modern and
have greater capacity than Northern
furnaces. The Pennsylvania anthracite
furnaces now in blast have capacity Of
1888 tons, and the furnaces out of blast
$50 tons. On the other hand the aver.
age capacity Of the Alabama furnaces in
blast is 637 tons weekly, and of those
out Of blast 400 tons. The average
capacity Of the Virginia and Tennessee
furnaces as well is larger than that of
the Northern furnaces. These and other
advantages make the Southern iron
cheaper than any other iron and place IL

THAT abominable tax farce in Whining
ton will never be cured until we have a
constitutional reform. But the Republi-
cans appear opposed to any reform though
they cry out loudly enough against
''abuses. Smyrna Record
A greater part Of the evil complained
Of is due to the efforts q the Republicans
to reform" then selves into power. The
difficulty is thu she Republicans did not
make any effort to pay their taxes, did
not examine the lists to ascertain
il they were assessed. There i.
no reason Why any man should
be deprived Of his vote except through
his own ignorance or neglect. The Re
pubieans are taking the position that
the collectors should hire brass band
and pursue the nimble voters all over
the county to present tax receipts e
them. The law does not require that
but they may do it if they like that sort
Of fun.
