TARIFF LEGISLATION.
But Slight Prospects of the Supplement
tai Bills Passing.

A Washington correspondent, who
has made special study Of condi-
tions at the capital sends the follow
ing, which in our opinion represents
the case as positively correct:
Those persons who anticipate be-
ing gathered in the folds of the ia
come tax may breathe freer il they
can derive any comfort from the IN
abated opposition to that source of
revenue on the part of influential
Senators and members. There is DO
strong opinion to the effect that any
thing will or can be done at the
short session of Congress in the di-
rection of lower tariff. The bills
passed by the House at the last SEES
sion as supplementary TO the Cor
man Brice tariff may he brought up
in the Senate, it is true, but the
prospect of action on them is dim in
deed. 1t would be easy enough for
the democratic pr0teetionists in the
Senate to defeat action upon them,
but the republican Senators, even in
the altogether unlikely event of the
conservative" Senators deserving
from their side, would not have the
least difficulty in accomplishing that
object,
Undoubtedly there will be deal
of tariff talk and the usual silver
diarrh@a the coming session, bat it
will be all talk and 20 action Bust
ness interests can, therefore, be per
| fectly satisfied with the assurance
that no additional tariff legislation
will be enacted for three years to
come. The whole contest over the
tariff, except so far as talk is con
cerned, will be RENTED to the next
presidential campaign.
''As for the income tax, the men
who opposed it at the last session
will oppose it at the next. Various
propositions for its repeal will be
submitted promptly on the opening
of Congress and advocated with vim
and energy. Mr.. Hill, according to
reports, will expend his left over en-
thusiasm from his gubernatorial
campaign in renewed assaults on the
income tax, and those amenable for
its provisions will have all the en-
couragement they need for Sinking
and evasion.
"Those who favor the income tax
will see to it that no repeal is effect
ed. But the means to render the
income tax provisions abortive are
in the hands of its opponents, and it
is understood they will he availed of
to the fullest extent. The Treasury
Department has authoritatively an
nounced the impossibility of collect
ing the tax unless adequate machin-
cry is provided. The appropriation
for this purpose already made will
scarcely do more than secure the
merest preliminaries for the assess
ment and collection of the tax.
The Senate rules and the court
esy" of the Senate place it in the
power of the minority to defeat any
appropriation for this purpose. Mr.
Hill is undoubtedly in the mood to
essay this, and he is quite sure to
have the passive if not the active
support of the republican Senators.
Present appearances therefore indi-
cate that the government cannot de.
pend upon deriving much revenue
from the income tax in the next
year of our Lord"

Five Congressional Districts---Per.
haps.


Five Congressional Districts---Per-
haps.
1t need not be surprising to hear
that the legislature will make five
Congressional districts of this state.
The scheme, so far as little driblets
of it have leaked out, is to hitch
Monongalia in with the Par handle
counties, and lend Preston to some
of the Democratic counties to the
eastward. The Third district would
hit the Ohio river about Parkersburg
and the lower tier of counties and
the interior make the Fourth and
Fifth districts. But with it all, they
will never catch West Virginia Dem
ocrats mapping again, with all the
gerrymandering and additions of
Congressman.
By the way, right here in Morgan
town seems to be where most of this
additional Congressman talk is 60
ing on. Diligent search of exchang
es fails to show that anything of this
kind has gained currency in other
portions of the state. However, Nor
gantown has become great place
for original and monstrous Republi-
can talk. 1t remains to be seen
whether the Legislature will carry
out this Morgantown plan of five
Congressional districts in West Vir-
ginia. That won't be long to wait.
But while waiting it is well to watch.

Indeed, indeed it is quite too ut
terly too bad that the Hon. James
M. Anderson does not say his little
speech of the ante senatorial contest
kind. The world waits for these
wise words, and the Hon. James still
let's her wait. Perhaps he is too
busy attending to having billed
shirts enough to last through his
forty-five days of craftsmanship; per
haps he is figuring on whether it will
rain tomorrow; perhaps he employs
his few short hours of wakefulness
!. 10 telling an admiring "home con.
stituency" as he on a memorable oc-
casion before called it--just how
nice it is to be law maker for the
commonwealth, with its attendant
little suppers and all that, and then
perhaps his mail day for this mouth
hasn't dawned yet. Any how he is
silent, and while that is normal
condition with him it is particularly
noticeable now, when the eyes of q
wider constituency are upon him
and he never says beans.

Col. John H. McGraw

The manly way in which Col
John T. McGraw conducted the
campaign in the Second District OF
this State, has won for him the APP
plause of the Democrats, not only in
his own State, but throughout the
country. Col McGraw as Chair
man of the Congressional Committee
made a gallant contest for Hon. VIM.
l.. Wilson and Democratic principles
and was only defeated by the lavish
use of money by the Republicans.
The great sacrifice, made by Col Nc
Graw, both in time and money, to
advocate the interest of Hon VIM.
l.. Wilson, is certainly appreciated
by the Democracy of West Virginia
There is nothing too good for Col.
John McGraw, and with his bright
intellect, honesty of purpose, and f.
deity to friends and party, we pre-
diet for him a grand political future.
The Democratic party would be I'M
grateful if it fails to properly re
ward him for his excellent services,
and we now move that he be nomi-
mated for Governor in 1896, and if
nominated he will lead the Demo,
cratic party to a triumphant victo-
ry.-P p. Register.

"Calico Charlie" Foster acknowl-
edges that he did order the plates
to have $1O0,0OO,O0o bonds printed
while he was Harrison's secretary of
the treasury. His idea was rudely
shattered by Benjamin himself, who
advised using the reserve fund of
nickels and dimes in order that the
incoming and not his administra-
tion would make the bond issue.
The result was as Harrison had
pointed out. Cleveland came in to
find bankrupt treasury. His orig
inal $50,000,000 bond issue would
not repair the wreck his predeces
sor had made, so an additional $780,
600, 1000 is now to be issued, which
makes the total just what Foster
ordered plates to make. 1t was on
ly last week Foster acknowledged
this, but the Intelligencer did not
print word about it.

The 7arir situation.

The Garif Situation.
1t was unfortunate for the eoun-
try, as well as for the Democratic
party that the Democratic tariff bill
is not more fully representative Of
the Democratic doctrine of free raw
materials, and that it retains alto
gether too much of the spirit of ia
voritism to certain interests that
has permeated all Republican legis
lation on the subject for years past
That it is thus faulty and Yields
in some degree to the trusts and mo
nopolies that grew up and we're fos-
tered under Republican rule, is ow-
ing to the presence of certain so. call
ed Democrats in the Senate, who are
more monopolists and. therefore,
more Republicans than Democrats
Bat il is fortunate for the party
and especially for the country that
Democratic bill was passed, that it
is in the main a most excellent bill.
that it abridges the privileges Of
some Of the trusts, infetters some in
dustries from the burden of taxed
materials, cheapens some accessories
and repeats the Mckinley bill. And
it is equally fortunate that the bill,
the Republican victory to the con
trary notwithstanding, must remain
in force, and that there can be no re-
turn to McKinleyism, or anything
like it, for at least three years to
come.
In the face of this fact speculation
as to what the Republican attitude
on the subject of the tariff will be is
of less interest than it ordinarily
might be. Yet il is well to note it.
Senator Platt. of Connecticut, has
been interviewed upon the subject.
In his opinion it will not be necessa-
ry or wise for his party to formulate
any tariff policy at all this winter
They will wait he thinks, until the
Congress, which they will themselves
control, comes into being, (which
will not be until December of next
year. before laying down any plans,
contenting themselves meanwhile
with preventing the passage of the
so-called pop gun bills, passed at the
last session of the House and now
pending in the Senate Their atti-
tude, even in this connection, will
probably be immaterial, since the
chances are that the little clique of
semi Republicanized Democrats in
the Senate, who succeeded in SO
shamefully emasculating the original
Wilson bill, will be as fully and as
efectually antagonistic to the bills
mentioned. They were each and all
of them most severely rebuked at the
recent elections, but it is not prob
able that they have attained to any
change of heart Men once tarred
with that stick are as little likely as
the leopard to change their spots.
The tariff situation remains, there
fore, briefly this. The Democratic
party continues loyal to the doctrine
of Tariff Reform. The Tariff Reform
bill, already on the statute book mot
the best possible bill. but good
enough to afford fair test, in prac
tice, Of the value of the principle, |
will be the tariff law of this country,
without change, until 1897 or 1898.
The Republican party for the time
being is without any tariff policy
whatever, and judging from the posi-
ton on the subject recently taken
by Mr. Sherman and others, is likely
to formulate a very greatly modified
policy when the time for formulating
any finally arrives
