| A HOMICIDE AT BRowNsBURG.-Charl
Oliver, coored, was shot and cut at Browns
burg by another negro, James Craney,
shortly after midnight Saturday night, and
received injuries from which he died in a
few minutes. The pistol ball passed in on

CURED at a dance. Craney blew out the
only light in the room, and denied that he
did it, and cursed those who charged him
with it, among whom was Oliver. At his
invitation the latter went into the road to
have fist fight as he thought, but instead,
in the darkness, was first attacked with a
pistol and then knife.
Craney made his escape that night and
has not as yet b;en apprehended. In the

by himself. He is a short heavy-set cop

old, and bad character. Ga the day of
the election of Gov. Lee in November,
1885, he stabbed the late DR.. z. j. Walker

sentenced to the penitentiary for four
years, and was released some months ago,

advertisement offering bargains In tinware,
and calling attention to advancing prices
because of the double duty on tin-pIate,
says the Philadelphia Record, has been
seized upon by tariff-refor newspapers as
a capital argument. It very neatly shows
how the consumer is taxed even by the i'm
pending shadow of the Mex inley bill. The
increased duty on tin-plate, from 1 cent
per pound to 2 2-10 cents per pound, will
not 60 into effect till July 1, 1891; but it
serves as an advertising scare, and as a
basis of increased prices nine months in ad-
vance. A more outrageous tax was never
devised Calculating on the basis Of the
past years business, it will take $15, 0e0,-
600 per year out of the pockets of con-
sumers. It is an.a1ticle of necessary use
in every house in the country.

HOW THE ANTI-LOTTERY LAW IS OF
FICIALLY CONSTRUED From the inetruc-
tions sent to the Postmasters giving the
construction placed upon the anti-lottery
law by the Postoffice department, we copy
the following which gives an idea Of it's
general and sweeping character:-
"The term lottery" as used in this act
embraces all kinds of schemes, general or
local, for the distribution of prizes by lot or
chances, such as gift exhibition enterprises,
concerts, raffies or the drawing of prizes in
money or property at fairs. Hence letters,
postal cards and circulars concerning them,
and newspapers, pamphlets and other pub-
locations containing advertisements of them
are unavailable. The provisions of the law
relating to registered letters and to money
orders apply to such matters at offices of
delivery only and are to be enforced upon
the direct orders of the postmaster general"

No law, be it never 90 cunningiy framed
and never 30 vigorously enforced, can i'm
prove the political and social status of the
negro in the south. One thing only can
do that-the negro himself. Mono better
than the negroes know how kindly the
southern whites generally are disposed
toward them, that they will not only lay no
stone in the way Of, but rather help for.
ward the material prosperity Of the col.
ored race. Intelligent, conservative me-
groes like Montgomery, the delegate to the
Mississippi constitutional convention, whose
speech has made him famous the country
over, recognize this fact. Those northern
journals and politicians that seek to array
the colored race in the south against the
white race, mean mischief to both, and
their aims are altogether selfish.

The Views of Henry Clews of the Mckinley
Tariff

Tho following article was written as an
editorial for the Morning Journal at the
request of the editor of that paper, by Mr..
Henry Clews, an able financier, Of the firm
of Henry Clews 6 Co., of Nos. 10 and 10
Broad street, New York, in which, as a
protectionist, he gives his views as to what
the tariff should be and his disapproval OF
the Mckinley Tariff
THE TARIFF.
In principle, I am q protectionist. But
recognize that there are varying degrees
and methods in which the principle may be
applied in practice. In my Judgment the
limit of tariff duties should be adjusted &C
cordipg to what is required; first, for the
purposes ofrevenue, and next to compensate
for the difference between the rate Of Wages
in this country and the rate prevailing in
those countries with which our manufactur
ers have to compete. Probably the dutiei
required to secure the latter purpose would
suffice to provide for the public revenue
But if the duties necessary to protect labor
proved insufficient for revenue neces
stiles, then the deficiencies could be legiti
mately provided for by special duties OF
articles of luxury or on commodities which
were least essential to the general comfor
and welfare of the people.
This appears to me to be sound principle
of adjustment. For as the cost of labor, re-
duoed to its last element, really constitutes
almost the whole cost of manufactures, al
that the manufacturer needs to put him or
the same level with his foreign competito
is duty that will increase the price of i'm
ported goods toa point corresponding to tn
difference in the labor costs, as between thi
country and others. If the manufacturer
has that, he has sufficient. If he has les
than that, labor suffers from reduction o.
wages; if he gets more, he has more protec
ton than he needs, and is enabled to exac
unreasonable profits at the expense of con
sumers; and especially would consumers b.
exposed tosuch exaction when the producer
happened to rank among the s'trust" mo
nopolies into which industry is so rapid.
crystallizing.
Hitherto there has been no pretense tt
adjusting duties upon this wholesome prin
ciple; and hence the common complain
against special protection for special indus.
tries and the inability of tariff-makers tt
defend their work upon uniform principl
that placed all industries upon an equa
footing. The great evil of the McKinle,
bill is that it involves wider departure
from this equitable principle than has exist
ed under any previous tariff; and to tina
extent it is likely to prove both an economi
and political disappointment.

The folly of the anti. LOTTERY law is already
in demonstration. Judge Tyner, the at
toIney general for the postofice department
the same who decided Tolstoi's "Kreus.
ger Sonata" to be obscene literature-has
ruled that papers publishing advertisements
OF raAd1es ct church fairs come under the
ban. He is also considering the question
whether newspapers that offer prizes for
the most popular Justice of the peace, or
something Of that sort, are liable to be ex.
oluded from the mails under q rigid CON-
structiOn of the law. President Grant used
to say that the best way to make bad Law
obnoxious was to enforce it to the letter.
Upon this principle the most ultra rulings
of the postoface department under the anti.
lottery law will be desirable so as to insure
the repeal Of the press censorship clause Of
the statute.-Peters6urg Index-i ppeaL

that on Thursday he shook hands with
President Harrison at the White House,
and the President said to him, 'tLangston,
it is true that you carried your district by
5000 majority and the State of Virginia
for Harrison and Morton by 1000 majority.
Go back to your district, and remember
that you have the support Of this admins
