The people of the United States have
decreed that on this day the control Of
their government in It's legislative and
executive branches shall be given to a
political party pledged in the most posi-
tive terms to the accomplishment OF
tariff reform. They have thus deter
mined in favor of more just and equita-
bic system of Federal taxation. The
agents they have chosen to carry out
their purposes are limited by their promi-
ses, not less than by the command of the
master, to devote themselves unremit-
tingly to this service. While there should
be no surrender OF the principles, our
task must be undertaken wisely and with
ou: vindictiveness. Our mission is not
the punishment bat the rectification OF
wrongs If, in lifting the burdens from
the daily life of our people, we reduce
the inordinate and unequal advantages
too long enjoyed. this is but necessary
incident of our return to right and JUS
tice. If we exact from unwilling minds
acouiescence in the theory of an honest
distribution of the fund of governmental
benefcence treasured up for all, we but
insist upon the principle which underlies
our free institutions.
When we tear aside the delusions and
misconceptions which have blinded our
countrymen to their conditions under
the vicious tariff laws we but show them
how far they have been led away from
the paths of contentmens and prosperity.
When we proclaim that necessity for
a revenue to support the government
furnishes the only justification for tax
ing the people we announce truth so
plain that its denial would seem to indi-
cate the extent to which the judgment
may be influenced by familiarity with the
perversions of the taxing power, and
when We seek to reinstate the self-cont-
dence and business enterprise of our
citizens by discrediting the abject depend
ence ,pon the government favor we strive
tostilnulate those elements of American
character which support the hope OF
American achievements.
THE DEMOCRACY on TRIAL.
Anxiety for a redemption of the pledges
which my party has made, and a solci-
tude for the complete justification Of the
trust the people have reposed in US, con-
strain me to remind those with whom /
am TO cooperate that we can succeed in
doing the work which has been especially
set before us only by the most sincere,
harmonious and disinterested effort

The Fight Over the Taxes.
columbia Evening Journal

The Attorney General gives out the
States petition for writ of ha6eas cor
pus proceedings in the case Of the She
riffs now held for contempt of the United
States Court. The whole is pamphlet
of eighty-six pages, embodying the petit
ton of the Sheriffs, together with numer-
Gus affidavits of the several Sheriffs and
Chairmen of the Boards of Assessors,
etc.
The petition holds that the several
Sheriffs acted under the orders of the
County Treasurers of their respective
counties, and in SO doing were only the
representatives of the State in the dis
charge of their otIlcial duties, and that
the controversy is with the State and not
with the several Sheriffs in their iidivid-
ual capacity.
The petitiou also claims that property
in the hands of a receiver is not exempt
from taxation, and further denies that
the Circuit Court of the United States
has jurisdiction in the matter.
The petition also sets forth that the
laws of the State provide for the refund
ment OF taxes illegally assessed and col
lected, upon petition to the Comptroller
General, and that no such petition has
been made in this case. Il also AYERS
that the several receivers as appointed
by the United States Colrt were ap-
pointed subject to the laws of the State
of South Carolina; that the rcceivershlp
did not relieve the property from its
obligations to the State any more than
if it had remained in the hands of its
original owners.
Tie petition concludes by insisting that
the injunction proceedings are against
the State; that to enjoin the functionary
is to forbid the function of tie State to
tax by its own laws; and that the petit
toner, as the State officer charged with
this State function, is sued by the re-
ceiver, which is in fact suit against the
State and contrary to the eleventh
amendment of the Constitution of the
United States; that the exigency which
indaced the appointment of receiver
does not in any respect abridgc the right
of the State to the collection OF its taxes
in accordance with its own statute laws.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-Grover Cieve-
land. of New York, thrice nominated for
President of the United States and twice
elected. was to-day successfully indicted
into that high Office for his second term
with all appropriate ceremonies and the
gathering of mighty multitude and the
accompaniment of a binding snow storm.
The last occasion was greater than the
first. 1t was more imposing in the mill
tary and civic display. Hat the atmos-
pheric conditions been anything like
favorable. instead OF being as bad as
they could possibly be, there would pro
baby have been sixty thousand men and
number OF ladies marching or riding in
the parade, as against twenty-five thou
sand in 1885. They We're al here wait
ing to fall in line but at the last moment
many OF tie organizations were com
PEELED to desist from participation.
Nevertheless the occasion was made
memorable by the vast attendance. In
1885 there were at the outside not more
than twenty-five thousand men in line in
the inaugural parade. To-day the Gov
ernors OF eleven great States-New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachu-
setts in the North and East: of Pennsyl-
vania and Maryland among the Middle
;tates; of Georgia, North AM South

TINE FOR ACTION.

The lessons of paternalism ought to be
unlearned and better lessons taught, that
while the people should patriotically and
cheerfully support their government its
functions 10 not include the support of
the people. The acceptance of this prin-
ciple leads to refusal of bounties and
subsidies. which burden the labor and
thrift OF a portion of our citizens, to aid
i'll advised or languishing enterprises in
which they have no concern. 1t leads
also to the challenge of wild and reck-
less pension expenditure, which over
leaps the bounds of grateful recogni-
ton of patriotic service and prostitutes
to vicious uses the peoples prompt and
generous impulse to aid those disabled
in their country defence. Every thought
full American must realize the import
ance of checking at its beginning any
tendency in public or private station to
regard frugality and economy as virtues
which W. may safely outgrow. T'.e tole-
ration of this idea results in a waste Of
the peoples money by their chosen serv-
ants, and encourages prodigality and
extravaganza in the home life of our
