WISE ON THE TARIFF.
OPPOSED TO PUTTING IRON AND COAL

Our Congressman I'm Favor OF Grsdnni
Rcvision-The Richmond and Man
chester Postmastcrs.

Congressman George ID. Wise, who was
taken down some six weeks ago with a
severe attack of rheumatism. has entirely
recovered, and will leave for Washington
Monday.
When seen by a Dispatch reporter yes
terday and asked what he thought or
the tariff bill framed by the DEMOCRATIC
members Of the Ways and Means Com
mittee. he said:
II think Congress will take up the tarlir
for discussion Immediately after the hoi-
days, and that ii will be disposed OF III
the House of Representatives by the LIST
Of February. / have not seen the bill In
its entirety, as / have been sick In bed,
but / have no hesitation in saying that 1
am opposed to putting iron and coal on
the free list
FAVORs TARIFF REVISION
However. I can only talk about the
bill in a general way, but as far as | am
Acquainted with It, / favor most OF its
provisions. l advocate tariff revision. l
agree thoroughly with the sentiment
which heard uttered by the present Sec
rotary OF the Treasury In one of the
ablest speeches ever delivered in the
House of Representatives. when he de-
clared that II he had absolute power he
would make no violent and radical
changes in our fiscal arrangements. He
expressed II as his conviction that all our
steps from extreme protection to the
Democratic position Of a tariff for reve-
nue. ought TO be gradual, so as not TO
disturb the business interests OF the
| country"
Continuing, Mr.. Wise said: II am op-
| posed to any change in the tax on to-
bacco, and will vote against 1t"
OUR POSTMASTER.
Referring to the Richmond and Man
| chester postmasterships, Mr.. Wise said
| Il confidently believe that Mr.. Cleveland
will appoint postmasters for Richmond
and Manchester during this month. had
an interview with him just prior to my
sickness, and feel warranted In saying
| that he will take action Immediately after
the assembling of Congress. l propose tc

postmasters without delay"
| In reply to the question who would bt

Il feel sure Mr.. Culllngworth will be The

SPEECH on THE TARIFF.
Mr.. Wise is preparing a speech on tn,
| subject Of the tariff. in which he proposes
| to consider its relation TO wages: or. II
! other words, whether the earnings OF
wage-workers will be affected by the re

the City Gas-Works, assures Dispatch
reporter that the gas now being fur

has had some complaint as to the leak
age OF a greenish sort OF oil from some
Of the Jets. but he says this IS due 10
the fact that the water gas is cutting
from the old pipes all the Accommodations
left in them by the coal gas. This trou-
bic. he asserts. can only last a short
while. He Is now using pyrites as a puri-
fer, and thinks the citys gas patrons
will not have much, If any, further
cause to grumble. IL IS but natural that
there should be some little trouble in
the installation here OF A new character
Of gas, and Mr.. Adams feels considerably
encouraged that he Is saving TO the
city large sums OF money, and Is giving
70 the citizens light that is much cheaper
and just as good.
The Council Committee on Finance
met at the State Bank yesterday at noon,
and authorized the sale OF $4,000 OF the

Tell lis. Governor.

Colonel O'Ferrall, whilst he was last
i'm Richmond, made known that it was
his intention to resign his seat in Con
gross on the 2Sth Of December. Governor
Mckinney holds that he cannot now IS
sue a writ Of election TO fiji the vacancy
which will thus be created, or, as the
.ontentlon is that he cannot provide for
mllng vacancy which does not exist.
Nevertheless, since it Is known that there
viii be vacancy after the 2Sth Instant
there is no good reason why the day
should not be fixed for tho holding OF a
District Convention TO nominate his sue
,cssor. nor why meetings should not at
,nce be called TO appoint delegates there
.o: nor. indeed, why the Governor should
not tell the people on what day he will

The AmerIean Farmer OF ths rntn.

Philadelphia Record
"The Record" has already made casual
mention of "Uncle jerry Rusk's article
in the North American Review" on
Farming a Hundred Years Hence. -
The article bears evidence Of considera
BILE thought and much good sense. The
writer's views on immigration are sound
and worthy Of a broad minded Demo
crat. That the country will not be able
to export much food even fifty years
hence one can readily believe, owing to
the increase Of population and the limit
to tillable land That farm values. as
rule, will at the end of the next
fifty years be greater than they are
now Is more than probable. "Uncle
jerry" believes that the greatest
changes of all will come in the condi-
tions of rural life Farms will be
smaller; rural population will be concen-
trated, and changes In the methods of
farming will be brought about by wider
knowledge and application of scientific
principles. Containing "Unce jerry

rigid oversight Of the people from the
cradle to the grave. We believe that
the state does best by confning it's work
within the narrowest possible limits, and
that the people in such commonwealth
are wiser happier, freer and more in
dustrious because they are left most
severely alone.
IL is doubtless very plausible plea to
propose to reform wayward girls over
whom their parents have no control or
no wholesome influence. If the parents
consent, as no doubt many Of them
would, such a home, or refuge, or re.
formatory may be readily filed without
the sentences Of courts by the authority
of the state. There cannot be any OBJ
lection TO such an institution as a private
enterprise, except, perhaps, that all such
institutions are failures They do not
redeem the victims; they put mark, a
brand, an ignominy upon them instead
Even the various kinds of orphans
homes have been Of somewhat doubtful
value in the elimination Of evil and the
promotion of good
We do not wish to condemn the efforts
Of those worthy women who propose to
found the home for wayward girls; but
we do wish to say. that the effect Of the
bill is to violate the principle of human
rights, and that the Legislature in this
free little commonwealth should proceed
with the utmost caution IN that direc-
tion.
The principle Of this government is
that a man is sovereign; that the parents
have, and must exercise, supreme control
over their children; that this is in no
sense, and for no purpose, whatever, a
paternal, patriarchal, or monarchical
government. This government was
founded to give a greater degree of per-
sonal freedom, not less, than the world
ever knew before
AS to the question, What shall we
do with our wayward girls2" we can
give Franklin's answer to the French
savants; Bring me the pail full OF
water which, if a fish be put in the water
will not overflow"
An investigation of the separate cases
may, perhaps, suggest a cure. Certainly
there is little hope that the state can
cure hereditary waywardness or crime.
There is no proof that a state ever has
been efficient in such efforts.
