Cleveland and the New Tariff.

In speaking OF the new tariff bill last
week we said:
For our part, we shall gladly accept
the new law. when IL becomes such. 1t
is so much better than the Mckinley law
that every true Democrat in the land
ought TO be ready and willing to join
hands with the President In substituting
the former for the latter"
Whcreupon the Lynchburg News COM
monts as follows;
But we really can't see what reason
our respected contemporary or the Demo-
cratic party has for wanting TO join
hands with the President over the event.
The President certainly did everything
In his power to defeat the bill both In
the Conference Committee and afterwards
IN the House. and refused even to so
much as honor IL with his signature at
the last moment. What have we to
shake hands with the Pres dent about or
the President 10 shake hands about with
us? We think IL would be very cold
shake all around the house"
Oh. no. The President could have killed
the bill in a moment 1t was great con-
cession on his part to allow IL to become
a law. BESIDES he expressly declares
that the new tariff bill is "a vast I'M
provement upon existing conditions
which is. in other words, just what We
had said on the subject. so we JOIN
hands with the President in substituting
the Senate bill for the House bill.

The Next Agitation.

The letter O.. MIR. Cleveland 10 Mr..
Catchings has been held To indicate that
the President is bent upon tariff reform.
Of course, his enemies are circulating this
report, clothed in language very different
from any that he employed in the Catch
ings letter or elsewhere. but which Ian
guage they claim is justified by the facts
Of the case. The Washington Post says:
whatever else may be said or thought
OF the Presidents letter to Mr.. Catchngs,
its matter. its manner and its raison
q etre. every one must admit, that II de-
tars the Democratic attitude with absO-
Lutte clcarness and courage. Mr. Cieve-
land not only sends his party into the
race handicapped with legislation which
he has denounced as dishonorable and per-
Gdious. but he serves notice 10 a country
already exhausted by anxiety and turmoil
that he intends to renew the tariff agita'
ton as soon as Congress reassembles, In
December.
The question sat now arises in mems
minds is whether the passage of the new
tarif law. involving a material reduction
u duties in many respects from those Of
It's predecessor. is to mark the beginning
OF "a new political era, as was done 10y
the passage OF the Walker tariff. and ulu-
matcly lead 10 similar advanced results

them. Before Congress shall meet again
there will be developments which viii
enable Mr.. Cleveland to know certainly
whether or not 1t would be right for him

winter.
II the new law brings good times. IL
Will be 10 order for the President TO use
that fact In impressing upon the voters
the value OF his political teachings If, on
the other hand, the new law shall leave
the country In the slougl In which 1t is
now wallowing. and hard times shall still
be- the burthen Of every mans thought
and conversation, then Mr.. Cleveland will.
II he Is wise, decline 20 take that burthen
upon his shoulders. In word. II is too

The recommendation Of the Council
Committee on Water as to the general
use of water-meters brings up for dis
cussion the whole question of water sup

are now successfully using meters. and
We DO not see why Richmond Should not
follow their example. and with advantage
to all interests concerned.
The fact stares us In the face that
sooner or later We must economic in the

1t is true that We have not reached the

some margin, and all Businessmen who
have given this matter thought know
that Il would not he 10 the interest OF

our people to adopt water-meters. we |
should rejoice If some other expedient |
could be devised to meet our wants but |
after years of discussion no one seems |

We have heard it said that the system
OF water-meters would cause a large cur

talnly readjust pay ments Of water-rents
upon more equitable basis. The Su-
perintendent Of the W&ter-Works and
the Council Committee on Water would
hardly recommend this change If they
thought that meters would very much
lessen the citys revenue.
Anyhow. We could better stand a mode
rate reduction of revenue from this
source than undertake the immense eX-
penditure necessary to build new pumps
and reservoirs and lay additional mains.
The fact is that water is more foolisnly
and recklessly wasted here than in any
other city we know Of. and there is no
way to check this extravaganza but by
charging consumers for each thousand
gallons of water that they draw
