FRIDAY MORNING. 5RE. >. 1894.
Tariff REFORM STRETCHES

A1t1I L hGT OIsla ILC(TULES.
The Democratic members of the WAYS
and Means Committee have decided to lay
"a tax OF two per cent. on personal and cor
poration incomes above 81 900, an addition
al tax of ten cents gallon on whiskey and
tax of two cents pack on playing cards.
The estimated increase of revenue from
these sources is $40, 800 900, and is expected
to supply the prospective deficiency in the
Custom S revenue Of the Government. The
general income taX-which it is thought
will yield three fourths of the above
amount-was vigorously fought in the COM
mittee, but those who favored the measure
insisted that the choice lay between a tax
~gon sugar 1.-THE sugar Of the poor man S
breakfast table, and a tax On incomes 1.-THE
srevenues of the rich) and this kind of az
sgument carried the day.
These efforts Of the Democracy to meet
the, deficits caused by the Billion Dollar
Congress and all measures looking to tariff
,.reform are meeting with the greatest oppo-
alton from the Protectionist organs
Throughout the country They predict
that the Wilson Tariff bill will never be-
come law, and count with confidence on
the opposition of the three Populists Sena-
tors. Senator PETER has already declared
himself against tariff reduction and
the others are expected to follow him.
Nothing could be more natural than this
coalition Of the two parties of paternalism
and pap, neither of which can live without
The Government spoon. But the Populists
have no notion of giving something for
nothing. In return for their votes against
Tariff reform they will look for Protection
support of their scheme of a Government
Il graph inG other measures of paternal-
4 1. There is only one serious drawback to
NE success Of the coalition, and that
is the fact that the Populists in Congress
cannot muster enough votes to defeat the
Wilson bill. The Democratic programme
of Tariff Reform Can be defeated in
the present Congress only by Democratic
detection and OF that there is no danger.

Reception OF u. S. Senator Thos.
S. Martin.

On Friday last the people of Albemarle,
the native county of U. S. Senator-elect
Thos. S. Martin, rendered him magnificent
reception at Charlottesville. The Stonewall
Brigade Band and number OF citizens of
Staunton went over to participate in it. The
following is Mr. Martins speech on the oeca-
sion:
Mr.. Chairman, and Gentlemen of the Leg
islative Committee Soon after the death of
that eminent Virginan, the Hon. John s.
Barbour, one OF the ablest, wisest, and most
patriotic men who ever served this Common
wealth. determined to become candidate
to succeed him in the high and honorable po-
sition he had filled with such distinction. As
understood the genius of our institutions any
citizen of the Commonwealth had right to
become candidate for public favor, but none
had any right to OF claim upon any Office in
the gift of the people. 1 adopted no unman-
ly or insincere course. did not simply ex-
press willingness to enter the public service
if required to do so by my fellow-citizsns,-I

ton of Senator from Virginia in the Congress

ject Of immigration. With open arms we
welcome every stranger into our gates who
comes with good character to dwell among
us and become one of us, and by his brain,
money or muscle aid in developing our I'M
surpassed natural resources. We want him
to be laborer, not an idler in the vineyard, a
worker not a drone in the hive We want
hm,to come with love for cur institutions in
his bosom, and not as plotter of treason OF

AT THE CAPITOL,

While the procession was forming and pa
rading, the Capitol Square was rapidly filling
up with people of all ages and conditions.
They pressed into the capitol, crowded the
lobby, took possession OF the desks of the
senators and delegates and packed the gale
ries. The police officers were powerless to
keep the throng back and the sightseers did
pretty much as they pleased.
At 80 o'clock the two houses of the legis-
lature met. Only small number Of the
members Of each body were present. The
usual routine work was disposed of; reso-
luton complimentary of Gov. Mckinney was
adopted and then the two houses convened in
joint session in the hall of the house. 1t was
with much effort that the senators pressed
their way through the mass of people in the
lobby. When they did reach the hall of the
house they found people packed there almost
as closely as sardines in a box.
The joint assembly appointed committee,
with Senator Echols as chairman, to wait on
the governor-elect and lieutenant-goyernor
elect and inform them that everything was in
readiness for the inaugural.

THE INAUGURATION.
The proceedings were opened by Speaker
CaIdwell who called the assemblage to order.
He stood at the table arranged for the speak
ers at the front OF the portco. Around him
pressed the people as closely as they could
get together. In front of the portice were the
military, drawn up in line, while back of the
soldiers and around the capitol were thou
sands of persons.
The speaker introduced Rev. DR.. Hoge, who
offered and eloquent and patriotic prayer, but
he could not be heard ten feet away, SO great
was the noise and confusion.
ON THE PoRTIco.
This committee soon returned with the gov
ernor, goVernor-elect, Lieutenant governor
elect, and then the joint assembly proceeded
in the following order to the southern portico:
Tbs senators, delegates, Rev. DR.. Hoge and
Judge l.. l.. Lewis; Coy. Mckinney and gov
ernor-elect O'Ferrall; 1t. Gov. Tyler and
-governor-elect Kent. Ten minu.o Us
were occupied in pressing through tbs lobby
and senate chamber through witch the pro-
cession had to pass.
Gov. Mckinne~ presented in a few words
his successor. Judge Lewis read to him the
OATH, I'D then tGoyernor-elect Kent came
forward and was sworn in. Gov O'Ferrali
now, without any further introduction, made
his address. Only those Immediately around
him could hear him, though the governor was
in fine voice and spoke with much emphasis
He addressed his remarks chiefly to those OF
the portico.
