THBowING THE MASK OFF.

As a rule Democrats resent being called
free-tTaders. They prefer for the time be-
ing TO be known as tarif-refOrmeTs, their
idea Of tariff reform being the adjustment
Of duties on a revenue basis rather than for
the protection of American industries. But
there are indications that the leaders Of the
party think that the time has come to make
the issue between the parties broa1er-as
broad in fact as the differences between the
Mckinley tariff and absolute free trade. On
this point correspondent writes:
The decehfuI pretense OF the Democratic party
in attempting to disguise its free-trade policy IN
der plank Of tariff for revenue only has been
shown false many times Butthe announcement
that James G. Mcguire viii be the Democratic
candidate Tor Congress IN the Fourth District is
complete confession Of the truth that the party is
Tor immediate universal free trade. What Is
more Il signifies the policy Of The Democratic
party as 10 revenue, viz: that all the bond
holders, mOnopolies and railroads are 10 be free
from all taxation, and all taxes placed upon the
landowners, which means vastly increased bur
den to the farmers. Ex-Judge Mcguire a short
time since openly left the Democratic party 10
order TO aid ia founding and bringing into power
a new party OF Henry GeOrgism founded on i'm
mediate free trade, the exemption Of all personal
property from taxes and The placing of all taxes
on lana. IN Tue summer OF 1S9O, al the city Of
New York, be was one Of The chief delegates OF
that organization to prepare aud announce a
platform containing these principles. But It was
there determined that this policy could be more
quickly brought about by capturing the Demo-
cratic party, which under false pretenses was on
the high road 10 free trade, and Henry George
and Mcguire openly claimed Cleveland as an
apostle OF their doctrine. II was therefore re-
solved that this organization should work to cap
ture the Democratic party aud they are doing H..
In the nomination Of Mcguire The mask will be
thrown of. Farmers will please take notice.
Everywhere the Democratic party is posing as
the apostle OF immediate free trade and all
taxes on lane.
1t is certainly somewhat suggestive that
Judge Mcguire should leave the Democratic
party one year and come back to it year
or two later. Oae or the other must have
changed their views. In the Fourth District
as Row constituted there is a natural Dem
ocratie majority. The party would hardly
give such a sure district to a man who did
not satisfactorily represent its principles.

other column, that they do not relish talk
OF Impeachment. so they Insult Mr.. Leeds.
These men also talk of political comhina-
tons. They like only tho kind Of politics
which places them in Office and gives
them each $1,000 per annum to help orpress
our citizens. All no! Mr. Leeds is doing a
good work. and we admire his GOODNESS in
not being drawn into quarrel with them.
They and some Others. wish to get rid OF
Mr.. Leeds, but the community does not.
The only light which has broken in upon
this people which promises results has
come through the exertiOns of Mr.. Leeds
and the organization which he represents.
Oar Railroad Commissioners had better keep
cool, for the men whom they labor TO serve
will not always control California. One Of
our Railroad Commissioners would like to
have been made chairman Of the cOnven-
ton which recently assembled at Stockton,
but the men who controlled a majority Of
the delegates were not quite willing to show
the clOyen foot SO distinctly. hence this man
who now appears so sensitive was laid upon
the shelf

NO NEW DEPARTURE IN SHIPPING.

TEE CALL has been asked if the bill re-
Gently passed by Congress allowing vessels
of a certain size and speed, owned by
American citizens to the extent of 90 per
cent of the whole, TO be given American
register can be construed as the initial step
in policy TO allow American shippers 10
buy vessels in the cheapest market and to
accord such vessels the privilege the law
c0nfers on American built vessels. THE
CALL ans wers that no such construction can
be placed upon the measure which Congress
has just passed. The measure is general in
its terms but there are, it is stated, but
two vessels in the United States which
meet the conditions of the law. These are
the City Of Paris and the City of New York.
Both are British built ships. They are
mostly owned by Americans, but not being
American-built are not allowed to fly the
American flag. The special measure pro-
vides that two vessels OF equal or greater
size and speed shall be built In the United
States, and, Of course, such vessels will be
entitled to American register Should the
company have occasion to build more than
two vessels, the fact that four vessels are
under the American flag will compel it to
build in America. The law does not imply
that any foreign built vessels, whether
owned by the same company or another
company, will be allowed American register.
In general terms. it is provided that all
vessels of their class now employed as these
two are may be given the same privilege
but as there are no other vessels meeting
the conditions the law in effect has the same
meaning as il the City Of New York and the
City OF Paris had been especially mentioned.
The measure is in the nature of an expert
ment. The apparent object of this company
IS to ascertain by actual experience if the
greater cost of running American vessels
viii outweigh the advantages of American
register

Funeral Reform.

IL WIS stated in our issue OF yesterday
that all the Methodist and Baptist preach
ers of Norfolk and Portsmouth had joined
hands on the subject Of funeral reform
and would shortly hold meeting to Sc
cure the cooperation Of the clergymen OF
all denominations in the good work of re-
ducine the expenses of funerals. Whilst
these ministers are laboring IN the cause
of funeral reform they should not lose
sight of the fact that large part OF the
expense of funeral is often if not gen.
orally TO be charged TO the account of
mourning costume. As soon as the de-
ceased has drawn his or her last breath
the memb ers Of the family nre required by
uncomfortable public opinion to be-
Gin to consider how soon they can
prepare funeral garments and how
much money they are able to expend-or
rather how much money the public will
require them TO expend-in preparing Tor
the funeral. SO that the house of mourn
ing becomes house of unnecessary dis
play. This subject engaged some time ago
the attention of various ministers OF the
Gospel in this city, several OF whom, II not
the most of them. expressed themselves
decidedly in favor of funerals which should
not suggest everything but a hope in
blessed immortality beyond the grave
why do we mourn departed friends?'
asks q familiar hymn. The question ought
TO be, Why do we mourn departed friends
in such manner? Let us endeavor to re-
lieve the poor of the heavy tax of costly
funerals. and both the rich and the poor
of the dreaded "habiliments Of woe"
which an unjustifiable custom or mere
fashion has made it the duty of every be
| reaved person TO wear.

THREE Dollars Per Acre.

There are gentlemen in the General As
sembly who think that Virginia should
charge three dollars per acre per dnnum as
rent for her oyster planting-grounds.
This price seems enormous. The present
rate Is twenty-five cents per acre. and ac-
cording TO the system that has prevailed
of guessing" at the mark, III most cases
the lessee has twice as much land as he
paws for. We doubt if the average price
now paid is more than fifteen cents per
acre. A jump from fifteen cents to three
dollars per acre Is appalling. whew, what
0 storm it would cause in Tidewater Viz
Rinia If it should be adopted! But aside
from the popular disfavor with which it
would be met-and any increase OF taxes
or rent is always unpopular with the peo-
pie afected--we may we'll consider IL our
brethren Of the oyster country could stand
any such increase and If 1t would be just
TO ask 1t Of them.
From Q combination Of circumstances
the oyster industry has suffered very much
indeed. The oyster-beds and the oyster
mon themselves ere growing poorer and
poorer. What the State should first do is
70 help the oyster-men to get upon their
feet again. When they are once more
: prosperous. when the plsnt-beds are YIELD
ing well. they will be willing, and II not
SHOULD be required. to pay larger rents.
Any such price as IS per acre would be to
tAx the planting business out of existence.
except In . few favored localities.
The General Assembly should take con-
SENTATIVE view Of this subject, and we feel
(, confident that il will do so.
The os idea must and will be rejected.
