There is no evidence Of amy Importance 90
sh.w that The nigh protective principle has

STORY OF THE REAR GUARD.

The story Of the rear guard as described
by Stanley, which we published in full in
our Thursday edition, has hardly ever been
surpassed either in the horror OF its details
or the graphic force with which it is pre-
sented No one can read IL without ieei-
ing of strong sympathy for IFS authvr, who
stands, as il were, at bay, and deals stagger-
ing blow after blow to his antagonists. The
sincerity Of the man is unmistakable, and
there is a terrible earnestness in his words
that carries conviction to every mind.
In the light Of their acts, revealed byeyi-
dence which cannot be refuted, the Ian.
guage in which Stanley characterizes the
principal officers OF the rear guard does
not seem too severe. Well might he ask
Were these men simply cruel from mere
excess Of brutality, or were they really
insane, and therefore unconscious Of
the Nervousness Of their conduct? II the
account of the course Of these officers be
entirely accurate, OF which there does not
seem TO be any reasonable doubt, then the
only charitable construction 10 be placed
upon III 10 tuhl tuty NciV NV III AuiA NN"NN'
of their mental powers.
Stanley is certainly to be acquitted Of al
blame in the references which he made to
the rear guard previous TO the publication
Of the present detailed account, for in this
account there is to be found firm basis
fer the most extreme charges.
Probably no expedition that was ever
sent out to accomplish a philanthropic pur-
pose was ever attended with so much to
repel and shock the sensibilities. The man
TO be rescued objected 10 his own with
drawal nom the country where he
was discovered. Stanley himself had
to pass through unexampled perils,
and surmount the greatest obstacles,
and finally portion OF the expeditionary
force made q record which is unsurpassed
in frightfliness OF detail by the history of
any body Of men who have been banded TO-
gether under similar circumstances and for
the same purpose.

The state has commented upon it and we
had noted ourselves the complacency with
which the announcement OF Mr.. Gould's
practical control Of Their Terminal system is
received. The shange in public sentiment
is marked. Only few years ago it would
nave raised a turmoil, and now it would
seem it is not regared As wholly an evil.
In proprietor the public has some one
to hold to account Cor at least to appeal to-.
And then. too in this great country where
products and commodities are ever inter-
changing, it Is an acknowledged advantage

srxrou OLE srNAroR TuRrIE.

The tone assumed by Mr.. Turpie IN his
speech in the Senate on Wednesday wnen
referring 10 the race question, was admir-
able. whether his remarks were IN seiiouS
Or an ironical vein. "Ihe returns OF ihe
e,ection. :" be said "sbowed an abstinence
,,on votlne--an abstinence much greater
in Massachusetts, and other Northern S'a'es
than elsewhere. The extremists, meas'c
majority In both houses, said this was PROOF
enough of the suppression Of the coloreo
vote. and thereupon proceeded to revolt
tionize the whole method OF congressman
elections. There had been suppression
n suppression patert, well known, undehi@-
ble and widely prevalent. The recent cen
aus would show that in PENNSYLVANIA, ONO
and Illinois there we're about 10000 colored
people; yet in those states no colored man
had ever served as Governor or been elected
10 any department Of the state govern
ment.'
1.-The suppression of the colored vote In
the south,v he added. "was thing mani
festly 10 question, affirmed on one SIDE ana
denied on the other, but the suppression o.
the coIored voter in the South was ihihS
without question actual, absolute, uncon-
ditional."
"south Carolina" he further declared
0was not more completely under the sway
of the white race than Pennsylvania
This is not an exaggerated statement
when the facts Of the case are carefully
considered. II there was any disposition
10 extend a full political equality to the ne
gro in the Commonwealth OF Pennsy IVA
mia. Ohio. and Illinois, il is hardly probable
that there could not be found among 2oO,"V
colored people number Of men who were
fully capable Of filling high political once
acceptably; and yet, in none OF these great
Commonwealihs is there a single neglo
who has been advanced 10 distinguished
political donors. The Republicans OF these
Commonwealths have always proclaimed
their confidence in the intellectual capacity
OF the negro, and their failure to promote
him in political way can only be attrib'-
ted to a determination 10 keep him III a
state Of political degradation.
Mr.. Turpie only expressed the truth when
he declared that wherever IN the South
the people Of the different races were living
peacefully together, under the same laws
members of the same body polite, without
any other thought that some must COM
mand and others must obey, this problem
was being solved. The purpose OF the Ma
tional Election bill (sO-called) was, so Tar as
il related to the South, to wreck and de-
stroy this pending condition of inter-raclal
adjustment. 1t proposed not to maintain
.ho will Of tho roojoriiy. hnt 20 overihrow
1t on the single issue of race-to make a
majority Of black men because they are
black; 10 establish government of com
plexion, not of opinion. Pass this bill and
the right Of the people to choose their rep
resentatiyes was lost"

lance 10 the city Of New York:

THE REBATE RILL.

Senator Daniel has taken the initiative In
rsctifying the omission Of the tobaccs-re-
bate clause from the Tariff bill, and his ex-
ample is being followed by representatives
from all the tobacco-growing sections OF the
state. In the bill offered by the Senator on
Tuesday last 1t Is provided that on all orig
inal aud unbroken factory packages OF
smoking and manufacturing tobacco and
snuf held by manufacturers and dealers a
the time when the reduced tax az
provided by the act approved Octo
Der I, 1890, "entitled an act % reduce
the revenue and equalize the duties
on imports and for.other purposes, y" begins
January 1, lssl-and upon which the tax
levied under the pre-existing law shall
have been paid, there shall be allowed a
drawback or rebate OF the full amount of
the reduction. "But," continues Mr..
Daniels bill, 1.-THE same shall not
apply in any case where the
claim Has not been presented within sixty
days following the date Of reduction; and
such rebate TO manufacturers may be paid
In stamps at the reduced rate; and no claim
shall he allowed or drawback paid for less
amount than i've dollars. IL shall be the
duty Of the Commissioner OF Internal Rev
snue, with the approval OF the Secretary OF
the Treasury. 10 adopt such rules and reg
uiations, and 70 prescribe and furnish such
blsnks and forms as may be necessary to
carry this section into eject. For the pay

II looks az il this or some kindred oili

manufacturers from the injustice which
they would otherwise suffer from tie omis-
sion Of she rebate clause from the iar'"

however, that The VALIDITY OF the oi',
with that clause omitted, could not
have been tested IN the United states
Courts. for, outside OF any other consider
alton. the question Of the status OF the en-
crossing clerk would have been dehni'eiy
scrtIed. As matters now stand, the power
Of the eCgrossing clerk is. under certain
conditions, greater than that oil congress
The tariff act which Mr.. Harrison signed
was not the act which Congress
n,ssed. but was the act OF the clerks
who prepared IL for the Presidents sigma
tire. Mr.. Mckinley, the original Trainer oil
the bill. himself informed THE TIMES that
tho rebate clause was embodied in 1t; and
not only he, but tho Ways and Means COM
mitiee. the members Of Congress who voted
for IT. and the Chief Executive who signed
il. all were under the impression that II
contained such a clause. Yet, because an
sngrossing clerk, either accidentally or with
esign, left it out, no such provision be-
came law.
Under present circumstances, therefore,
IL is in the power Of the engrossing clerk
frequently TO materially alter most impor-
tant legislation, as was actually done III
Ibis instance. No such possibility should
be permitted to exist, and it would have
been a salutary lesson to inconsi-
derate legislators and a careless Presl-
dent, who did not really know what be
was signing when he affixed his signature to
the Mckinley bill, if the United States SUI
preme Court could have had an opportunity
TO decide that the act OF the engrosslnS
clerks in this reb tie matter had wholly In
validated the tarih law.

less than six measures Of this kind were
presented in the House. and two more

any action supplementary TO the silver

New York Herald.l

Our representatives in Washington scored
2 point Tuesday when they secured from
the House Census Committee assurance OF
a hearing on Friday.
Among the proofs which will then be sui
mitted will be aflidayits Of more than four
hundred residents Of the Second Ward who
swear they lived in the ward last June,
were then az home, but were not called upon
or counted by any census enumerator.
This evidence is not to be met by the
bubble that these persons were mere dodgers
or that they were out of town when the cen-
sus was taken. Ii shows conclusiYelt
wholesale omission Of names that should
have been counted, and, consequently
gross inaccuracy in the enumeration. II
corrobordtes the police count and condemns
the Federal census Of the entire city.

will be taken on this proof.
