Tow Conts Unity m Tin.

Tin has now become one OF the precious
metals. Under the operations OF the Nc
KNIRY law 1t has just been taken of the
free list and put on the dutiable list at
cents per pound.
Our imports for the past month aggre-
gated 3c0I tons and the consumption was
about 200 tons The stock accumulated
in anticipation of the duty is about 10000
tons. Yet, during the past week the price
of pig tin has declined t6 per ton in Lon
don. and from IL TO Nc. per pound here.
The supply in this country is equal to the
requirements OF seven months.
One If the very first things that Con-
gress ought 20 do after it has made ar
rangements to kill off ali fear Of money
panic is to repeal the duty on tin. Every
family IN the land that uses canned food
of any sort, as well % builders and manu-
facturers generally, is interested in this
measure OF reform. aud there are no
established industries to be injured by
such a course.
The New York Journal Of Commerce says !:
"Iu spite OF IN stories toid by promoters and
politicians about tho vast and rich deposits OF
tin In this country no bodies OF tin have yet boon
found here that can DO worked probably even
with the AGENT duty

New York,s Southern Club.

The persistency with which discreditl-
BILE stories concerning the Southern So.
cIety, Of New York. appear in the papers
of that big provincial city shows that the
club has enemies on the press there who
are determined to down 1t " if possible.
Similar stories might as easily, and more
truthtully. be gotten up about any other
club or society IN New York, but the sem
sation-mongers seem 10 cOnfine their mis-
chIevous enterprise to this particular or
ganization.
The latest story is about a young SOUTH
erner, who, ii is alleged. was caught cheat
Ing at cards; but though the society's
name Is dragged into 1t. 1t does not appear
that the gambling occurred III tSeir rooms
or that the offender was member of the
society. On the contrary. it is stated that
he was not a member and that the card
playing was at another place.
The club. OF the society, as it is now,
should hunt down and punish these libel
lers. or else give u? all hope OF future use
fulness or happiness.

Judge Crisp Speaks.

Speaker CmsP thinks there will be no
trouble about getting the 10 per cent. tax
on Stat,-bank notes repealed. He does
not know, but thinks the President Is in
favor OF repeating tina. tax. There may be
no fight upon that question. The fight
will be on tho question of the substitute
for State banks. AS to On income tax.
the Speaker SAYS:
"1no party will undoubtedly some 70 an in
come tax, md such q law will come in time.
There Is no doubt TINT people all over the
country are coming TO realize that an income
tex IL a step in the right direction"
That's n brave committal Of himself to
an income tax. That committal would
seem TO indicate that President CLEvE-
LAND is in favor of an income tax as vol
as of getting rid of the 10 per cent. tax on
State-banK notes. MIR. CRISP Is candi-
date for reelection to be Speaker, and ex-
poets the support of the administration.
This supportitcould hardly give him if the
President was opposed to al income tax
aud the Speaker for il.
Lively times ahead this fall, let us re-
peat once more.

A Question or Two.

The New York S,m says that until new
national convention is held. party. DEM
ocratie OF Republican. Is bound by the old
platform. We would like for the st0s TO
explain how It's statement can be true in
view OF the fact that until last week half
the Democrats in the United States held
that their platform Of 1922 declared for the
free coinage Of silver, and the other half
held that IL declared against the free coin
age of silver Again; The platform CON-
mittee Of the last national convention re-
ported against saying that Congress had
no power TO lay tex for any other pur-
pose than revenue. and the convention
voted down the report. How are the CON-
mitteemen TO conduct themselves until
1892 Must they endeavor TO make their
report o par, Of the creed OF the Demo-
cratic party. or must they try TO make the
resolution substituted for II a part OF
the national Democratic creed?

The Fourth.

The old-time spread-eagle orator" in
these " degenerate days" IS seldom heard
nt Fourth-of.July celebrations. lie con-
fines himself mostly to political conven-
tions where nominating speeches are TO he
made. 20 commencements. or 10 banquets
where toasts are TO be responded TO.
Hence, our people are not as we'll Informed
- 20 the significance of e" the day we cele-
brate as our forefathers were.
To the average American, we regret 10
say. the Fourth of July Ia merely holt
day--a days rest In the midst of the hot
season; O time for excursions TO the seaside
or mountains. and abstention from bust
ness. Only at Tammany Hall and few
other such places do we hear recounted
annually tho story Of that bold venture,
led by WASHINGTON, JEFFERSON and others,
which won freedom for tho colonies and
mt liberts.ln tho thoughts of all civil
ized men.
Little il il that we hear now DAYS OF
1.-THE patriot fathers; of the sudeungs OF
our army at Valley Forge; Of the victories
at Saratoga and Yorktown. More recent,
If not more stirring. occurrences have
swept them out Of memory.
The Fourth will never again he the
Fourth Of ante-bellum DAYS. We wish
that we could SEQ it celebrated as n once
was. but the times North as well as
South-haye changed, and we have
changed with them. No longer are we
content 10 gather at q neighbonng mill

budding DEMosruENEs Of the locality de
claim on Iudcpendenco-Dav no longer
are our military content 20 parade the

The excursion ticket has come in be-
tween those and these days and has mt
bigger notions in our heads, and scattcrs
our urban population throughout the
country and the country population
throughout the cities. There has been q
great revolution in the habits of the peo-
pie. We may lament It, but we cannot
stay it. II progress
Still there remains in the hearts Of our
people "a deep-seated reverence for the
men of the Revolution. II Is modest IN
showing itself, but 1t Is there. Whoever
has read our history must feel this Teve-
renee, aud the lessons of school-days hnger
long. If we are bound Coy custom) to cele-
brate the Fourth with fre-crackers and
excursions, let those be of the best. " Hail,

The British War Office has made public
Admiral MARKHAM's dispatches concerning
the disaster near Tripoh. and it appears
that the fault was undoubtedly Admiral
TaYoN's. He was ADVISED not to attempt
the manmuvro when the ships OF the squad
ron were only six cables $500 feeD apart,
but persisted III his plan. although he had
seemed to yield TO o suggestion that 1t
should be eight cables instead.
After the COLLISION the Victoria signalled
that she needed no assistance, and the
other ships did not know of her condition
until they SAW the Nictoria's men Jumping
INTO the sea, when all the life boats Of the
other vessels were manned and sent to her
aid.
Cable dispatches say that Admiral TRYOS
was not regarded As very competent 20
handle SQUADRON. lie would have been
a better admiralty official than CON-
mander on the high seas, many naval
officers say. According TO Admiral MARK
HAM 1.-THE stem Of the Camperdown struck
the Victoria on the starbOard bow about
twenty feet before the turrst and crushed
into the ship almost to the centre line, the
fore and Of, lines of the ship at the time
Of the collision being inclined toward
each other at an angle of about SO'.'
The aggregate of loss by the collision as
officially stated was % officers and 1886 men,
aud the saved are 20 officers and 2G2 men.
There were thirteen vessels in the squad
'on, and the Victoria and Camperdown
were turning towards each other when the
collision occurred. The Inaneuyering
consisted of the two lines turning in to-
ward each other, exactly reversing their
course, In parallel lines. Owing to the
lack OF room the figure that resulted was
like au inverted letter W."
The statements Of Admiral MARKHAM
and Of various officers of the Victoria con-
firm the opinion that the accident was due
10 an error of judgment on the part of the
ommander-in-chief. Admiral rRYoN, in
fixing the distance at six instead OF eight
cables, and who erred still more In
refusing help after the Victoria had been
struck. He died calamity at his post. IL,
as Is probable. he realized the conso-
auepces Of his stupendous blunders he
must have welcomed death.
The London papers report that TRYoN
had but recently recovered from severe
illness. and that he was in no condition TO
be in command of the squadron.
By the way. the Wilmington Messenger
has information that Admiral TRYos was a
descendant of the Governor TRYos who
ruled the province of North Carolina from
i7e6 TO l773. and who subsequently held
similar sway over New York after its oceu-
patton by the British forces.

The Naval Review.

The naval review at New York was
the finest sight ever witnessed in New
York harbor Thirty-seven monster
steel war vessels of modern type, rep
resenting ten nations stood in contrast
with the faithful reproductions of the
antique wooden caravels in which the
most illustrious of navigators made his
voyage. As stated yesterday, disagree
able weather caused n postponement
of the review from the forenoon until
the afternoon, but it was spectacle
that reflects the greatest credit on
Rear Admiral Gherardi and those who
assisted him and fully repaid the null
titude that patiently waited for eight
hours in orderly discomfort to see it.
The usual order of reviews was revers-
ed-the reviewed remaining stationary
in open columns and the reviewer pass
ing between the lines.
At night there was grand electro
cal display The American ships show
ed the many ways in which the lights
are used in active warfare to protect
themselves from the attacks of those
marine terrors-torpedo boats. AT
times the projected rays were concen-
trated at certain spots on shore, then
turned far up the Hudson, making OBJ
iects plainly visible at distance of
five miles. Following came another
signal, and simultaneously every light
in the fleet was turned toward the re
NTH. Slowly the rays converged I'M
til they formed the apex of a brilliant
silvery pyramid of incalculable height.
Experts say it could have been seen
seventy-fve miles away in any direc-
ton. 1t was sight never before seen
and never to be forgotten. In conclu-
sion, the operators gave some exam
Piles of high art in ray-proiecting and
described various figures on the
heavens.
Last night in the great Madison
Square Garden the review ball was
given, rivaling in magniiicence and
beauty the most elegant social CATER
ings of the world and forming fitting
climax to the great occasion.
To-day there was land parade OF
men from the war vessels, after which
the President will leave for Chicago to
open the Worlds Columbian EXPOSE

of the world in all the avenues ofman's

THE RIGHTS OF MARYLAND OYSTER
MEN.-As to the outcome of confer
ence between Attorney General Poe, of
Maryland, General Bradley T. john
son, and Colonel Thomas S. Hodson,
counsel for Robert L. Wharton and
Severn Nelson, the latter a colored
man, both of whom were convicted In
the Accomac court, of catching oysters
in Pocomoke sound, and committed to
Jail in default of $500 fine and costs, a
writ of habeas corpus will be secured,
probably to-day, and the question of
the right of Maryland parties to fish IN
Virginia waters will be argued before
Judge Golf, of the United States Court
in Baltimore, on June 10, or such other
date as may be fixed to suit his conve-
nience. The case of Captain Marsh,
which has been pending for some time,
and which involves the right of trial in
Maryland court for any otfense charg-
ed as having been committed in Vir.
ginia, under the compact of 1889, will
also come up. The Marsh case stands
on different basis, however, from the
Wharton and Nelson cases, Marsh be-
ing fined for fishing in Tangier Sound.

Congressman George d. Wise is af-

are the most prominent candidates for
this place and it is understood that the
contest will probably be solved by one
of them being made collector and the
other deputy collector. The deputy
collectorship pays better while there is
more honor attached to the other
place. 1t is said in Richmond that
Collector of Internal Revenue Brady
will have to give away to democrat
during May or June.
