Indirect order face HIM at every moment of
the day. On waking In the moraing the
German artisan drinks cup of coffee on
which the Imperial treasury has levied a
duty of 20 pfennige, or about cents a
pound. The sugar with which he sweeten-
IL has been taxed at 10 pfennige pound,
and the bread at pfennige. On leaving
home for work his wife provides him with a
crust Of bread ION which the duty is pfen-
nige pound), spreads it with layer of
lard duty of pfenuige pound), and
sprinkles 1t with salt duty 6 pfennige a
pound). During the course of his mornings
work the man will probably take a small
glass of brandy duty % pfennige per quartz.
At noon he will return home to dine with
his family off soup made of flour duty 3
pfennige per pound), with slice of bacon
(duty 10 pfennge pound), or piece of
beef duty 10 pfennige per poundD, or, per-
haps, herring duty of pfennige piece)
In the evening, after his work Is over, he
will probably refresh himself with glass of
beer duty pfennige per quartz, accompan-
led by piece of cheese duty 10 pfennige
pound), little butter 90 pfennige per
poundl, and slice of bread duty pfennige
pound). Afterward, by light of his lamp,
on the oil of which a duty of pfennige
quart has been paid, he Will smoke his pipe
ful of tobacco, taxed at the rate of % pfen-
MICE per pound, and will then retire to sleep,
which Is apparently the only thing that the
Imperial government has omitted to to tax.
From the first number that Horace
Greedy got out till August 2. the 7rib-
atne has been telling its readers that
the tariff was not a tax. But, then, it
was the American tariff that was not
tax.
The Tri6une's idea, if it has any idea,
about the tariff is the most curious we
have encountered. The American tar
if is not O tax on the consumer; the
German tariff is tax on the consumer.
This is one of the many evidences of
the grandeur and good fortune OF
Americans. We have learned from
the Tribune that the duty levied in
this country on imports from Germany
is not paid by the American consumer,
but by the German exporter. We now
learn from the same eminent authority
that the duty levied in Germany on
the lard and other things imported
from this country is not paid by the
America,: exporter but by the German
consumer. So that we reach the ex-
traordinary conclusion that W support

says:
Nearly half OF Illinois has been counted,
and the gain is only per cent as compared
with 1880. The Chicago census district, OF
course, which is not yet heard from, will run
the ratio up to a much higher figure, but
even with Chicago, che growth of the Prai-
rie State Is not likely to equal that of Mis-
souri,.
There must be some mistake here.
Illinois is q Republican state, while

lican yelper in this State has for years
been vociterating that Missouri was
tagging behind the procession, and
that all that was needed TO make her

to turn out the Democrats and put in
the Republicans. Yet TIE CD. says
"the growth OF the Prairie State is not
likely to equa! that OF Missouri" There
is a mistake somewhere. brethren.

Mr.. II. NJ. Putnam, of Blackwell,

The great strike which some days
ago caused the suspension of travel on
the New York Central Railroad ran its
course and proved a failure in the re-
suits that were intended to be accom-
plished by the strikers. 1t was a
crisis brought on by the knights of
Labor in an effort for self-preserva-
ton. The New York Central COmpa-
pany had made deliberate war on Ia
Dor organizations, having practically
determined at the beginning of this
year to follow the example of the
Reading company in waging HOSTILE
ties against the fraternities into which
its employees had formed themselves,
and there is every appearance that
the management precipitated the
strike with a view to bringing speedy
conclusion to their plans. Mr.. Pow
derby says that the Central Company
has, since last April, been carrying
out this policy by suspending or dis
charging every man who took a prom
inent part in the Knights of Labor, or
any organization intended for the bet
terment of the condition of the work
ingmen. The knights took up the
gauntlet, but the corporation was too
strong for the wOrkmen.

The Second District.

In the card of Mr.. J. G. PARKER, pub
lished in another column, are presented
some reasons why the Democrats should
not make congressional nomination in
the Second district.
We sympathize with these gallant Tide
water people, well knowing the magnitude
of the work they have put into unsuccess-
full canvasses in the past; but are not yet
prepared to second our correspondents
proposition. We are. however, ready to
have it discussed, and when the citizens of
the district are thoroughly well informed
the party committees can decide what
ought TO be done
II is fact that the multitudes are weary
Of frequent elections. but what is to be
done? As long as our liberties are i'm
perilled; IA long as we are threatened with
negro rule, what can we do but remain in
line of battle ready to attack when aggres-
siveness will avail: prepared for defence
when the enemy rises to strike us?
The climax of the political situation OF
Washington has not yet been reached. I'm,
ill il is, Is il not risking too much to re-
solve upon course SO important as that
which Mr.. PARKER urges?

Street-Cars and Parks.

There is steady improvement in our
street-car service.
Unlike some other people, the present
managers perform more than they promise.
In good time we hope to see electric-cars
on Broad street. and through transit to the
New reservoir on the Richmond Union Pas
senger Railway Company's The trans
fer at the intersection of Cary asd Reservoir
streets is an intolerable nuisance. OF
course these changes cannot all be made
ut once, but we are hopeful of securing
them in the near future.
1t is great pity that the Sunday travel
20 the reservoir cannot be accommodated
Thousands who sec the cars crowded do
not attempt TO 60. Special cars running
to Main and Fifth streets or Broad and
Seventh streets might be a solution of the
dificuity.
Another thing we wish to see is such q
marked distinction between the register
rope and the "stop-car cord" as to make
il impossible for passenger to pull the
wrong one.
II may be said that passenger should
always get the conductor to stop the car
for him, but the ready answer is the pas
senger cannot always catch the eye of the
conductor.
The Seven Pines railroad could easily
double its Sunday business If it had suf-
6cient number Of trains.

4 Nan Who "KnOwS How 70 Keep Hotel,
and What lie Has TO Say--l Timely
Suggestion for lhc ladies'

The Astor House. New York, has been noted
for years as one Of the standard hotels 10 Ameri-
ca indeed. 1t was the pride OF John Jacob AS
tor, who personally superintended It's erection
That IL is conducted In the finest manner there

How Shall Our Delegates Be Elected

How Shall Our Delegates Be Elected =?
As between ward and precinct meetings
for the election of delegates to the Con-
vressional Nominating Convention OF this
district, we yesterday expressed prefer
ence for the latter mode.
There are twenty-four voting precincts
IN this city and there would be q meeting
for each. No voter would have to go far
from home The people, divided into two
dozen instead of six sssemblages, would
oyercrowd no hall, and with a correspond
incly reduced number of ballots TO count,
the proceedings would be short. At each
Of these popular gatherings chairman,
secretary, and other officers would have 70
be elected. ard thus the honors OF the party
could be more widely distributed than by
the old way. What is still more important
in this arrangement, the sentiments OF the
Democrats of Richmond could be voiced
better than by ward-meetings.
A primary election is also suggested and
ably urged. 1t would be superior to the
ptecinct-meeting plan, provided 1t could
he adopted all over the district. If the
counties approve it this city certainly will
not object, but uniformity is desirable.
On one occasion-possibly on more than
one-when nomination for Congress was
TO be made. we opened a primary poll at
each yoting-place in the district, and the
candidates were voted for directly, and
upon aggregating the votes in each county
or city the number of delegates each can
didate was entitled to appoint was ascer-
tanned and declared.
At this critical point of our country's
history. when reckless majority IN Con-
gress is seeking to bind us 80 that no future
efforts of ours will be availing TO liberate
us from Republican domination, we want
not only the greatest unity. but the great
est enthusiasm in our party. Pluck, spirit,
and organization can safely carry us
through the election force bill or no. We
must aim and work in this direction all the
time.
We desire to see our folks preparing to
win over to their party all the white Re
publicans in Virginia who revere the
honor, principles. and traditions of this old
State. and who detest such tyranny as has
been practiced by the majority in Congress
during this session. The idea that An cleo
ton bill can manacle the true sons Of the
Old Dominion will be dissipated the mo-
ment it is found that such measure will
soldify the white vote. We have faith in
our people. We know their love for Vir-
ginia. We trust to this for escape from the
net work Of rascality proposed IN the
RowEII-LoDGE bill. We must plead with
the whites personally and politically. Ina
somewhat similar emergency they rallied
and overthrow MALONE. and as HARRISON
aud REED are but little better men they
will be doomed to the same fate.
