yvashiprton's Cabin.

There are few buildings that attract
the admirers of Washington that have
more of interest in them than decaying
cabin which stands alone in an old pas
ture field half mile from Berryville, in
the beautiful Shenandoah valley of Vir-
ginia.
The old cabin was the home of Wash
ington when he was surveyor. He
came here direct from the maternal roof
to begin the arduous and at the time
dangerous work of surveying the lands
of Thomas, Lord Fairfax, who owned
all the northern part of Virginia under
the kings patent. The work was ardu-
Gus because of the physical aspect Of the
country, then dense wilderness, and
dangerous because of the character Of
the inhabitants, who were principally
Indians or scarcely less wild trappers or
squatters upon,hi lordship's domain.
Washington had been selected by the
nobleman because of his belief in the
youths ability to cope with these ele-
ments early in 174S, just after the COM
pletion of his sixteenth year, his only
companion being George William Fair
fax, nephew Of old Lord Thomas.
Whether these boys erected the build
ing or found it already in place history
does not state, but well authenticated
tradition says that they built it them
selves. That they used it for al Office,
kept their instruments there and slept
in the upper room there is ample proof.

EnllY of HnardiuR.

1t is really remarkable that so many
people in this country, who have funds
from which they might earn good rate
of interest, persist in locking up notes in
safe deposit vaults or pack them away in
old stockings. Money will earn today
large returns, with the best of real es-
tate security as first class collateral to
protect the lender, and yet a great many
individuals, waiting for they know not
what, decline to take advantage of what
is an unusual opportunity for making
money. The currency OF a country Is
intended to circulate as evidence of cred
it. If it does not, it becomes absolutely
useless to everybody. In famine com
munity would be no better off if it locked
up millions of barrels of flour than if it
had none at all. The same is precisely
true of money.-Washington News.

MAYORS AS AUToCRATs.

Some years ago the process of evolution
in the government of cities was believed to
have come to a natural end by the discov-
cry of the one-man power in charters. 1t
was sweepingly asserted that II the Mayor
was made the one responsible official the
voters would select the best man in their
city for that Office, and that he would be so
powerful that political lines would cease
from troubling. Then we should see great
cities governed on business principles.
There would be no failure Of justice, no
waste of public funds. none of the little
examples of crookedness that painfully
but wildly remind taxpayers that the fall
OF Adam projected sin into the great body
of the human family. The experiment was
tried in Brooklyn. n. Y. under the most
favorable conditions. Mayor Low, the first
autocrat, Was model Mayor. But the time
came when Mr.. Low got tired of being an
autocrat with the tremendous responsible
ity attached to the Office. The bosses, whom

INTERNAL TAXES.

The Democratic proposition to shift
taxes from the shoulders of foreigners to
those of our own people is not likely to
prove popular among our own people.
Tobacco manufacturers aud beer brewers
have protested against an increase of in
ternal taxes on the articles they produce.
The question involved is not whether
tobacco and beer are necessary to human
happiness, but whether these articles
should be produced in the United States
or in foreign countries. They are indus
tries in which great deal of capital is in
vested and in which thousands of men
find employment Why the cost of pro-
duction should be increased, with the in
evitable result of replacing the home
product with q foreign one, is what the
beer and tobacco manufacturers fail to
comprehend. How Democratic politicians
should have imagined that policy which
taxes home products and lets foreign
products in with nominal duties would
prove popular is one of the various con-
undrums of the age. During the war, and
for some years after, when the Govern
nent was reaching in every direction for
revenues, an internal system of taxation
was polite. But the Republicans took
care to abolish these taxes as the necessi-
ties of the Government became less impera-
tive. 1t remained for Cleveland with a
surplus in the treasury he could not use
TO advantage to revive tie idea Of internal
taxes that duties on foreign goods might be
redueed

ANTE-ELECTION SAYINGS.

THE CALL always reads the Boston
Herald with pleasure, though there are
but three or four metropolitan parers in
the country so persistently on the wrong
side of great issues as that journal. But
the following, which was printed the Sat
urday before the election, is especially in
teresting:
There could not possibly be greater delu-
sion than 10 imagine that tariff reform will not
go on TT Washington without the Sigh est re-
gard o any vote which this State shall cast on
Tuesday next. That question was settled last
fall II is in the hands OF the present Congress.
No other Congress can NEE: TO deal with it for
more than TWO years. Before that time the
new tariff law viii be put In operation. 1t can
not be repealed for two years later-four years
from the present tme-even If the country
does declare against il. But there is no danger
at all OF the country declaring against it..
Tariff reform has come to stay, and the coun-
try will be so we'll satisfied with 1t that II there
is any change it will be In the direction of
lower duties.
The Herald was in error in respect to the
non-existence of danger that the country
would declare against the Democratic
idea of tariff reform, and it may also be
in error in the assertion that tariff reform
will go on at Washington as if nothing
had happened. From party point OF
view Republicans would like to have it 60
on. A tariff for revenue in the face of the
peoples emphatic protest against such
legislation will constitute the Democratic
blunder General Grant said the Rspubli-
cans could always rely upon to keep them
in n0War
