TARIFF SENTIMENT.

MANY Of the Commercial organizations
in manufacturing states have appo'nte"
special committees to study the suole'''
and in some # them the sentiment IL
NOT only strong, but is outsroken. The
growth vt this sentiment is evidenced by
the action OF the National Association OF
Manufacturers in the adoption, NJ the
vacant convention oi that body held IN
Nav York in May, 1877, OF resolutions
calling for immediate tariff revision and
f,r the creation OF. n permanent tariff
commission. The resolutions were recon-
,,,ndei Nv the Committee on Tariff and
Kecipro Ytv. which made n report giving
IN, r,snlt Of a canvass of the members,
which showed that out OF ~ total OF l.SlW,
"A par cent. were in favor OF revision,
mast Of il Of n radical kind, one-tiith OF
that " per cent. desiring only partial re.
vision: that only 20 per cent. were tadi-

growth in sentiment among manuiac'

Much Ado About Nothing

i cannot see the occasion for all
this talk about the disbanding OF
the negro regiment in Texas by
the President, said Marshall Nc
.COrmick, of Berryville, general
counsel for the Norfolk & Western
X. r. at the Raleigh. Most
lawyers agree that the order of the
President, so far as it relates to
disqualifying the members of the
regiment from holding any Office
under the government without a
trial Is contrary to the Constitution.
1t Is therefore, only question of
whether the President was right or
wrong in this. The people of Vir-
ginia believe that the men should
have been punished. No one ques-
tons the authority of the President
to disband this regiment; whether
he had a right to attach the penalty
he did is the only matter about
which there can be any controver-
sy."-Washington Herald.

' Jim " Thompson Buys Another Paper

Mr.. James NJ. Thompson. for
merIy of Summit Point. and who
some time ago sold ont his interest
in the Norfolk Dispatch, has pur-
chased the controlling interest in
the New Orleans Item, the official
journal of that city.
Mr.. Thompson IS one of the
most versatile, energetic and bril-
liant newspaper men produced in
Virginia in recent years, and made
a pronounced success of the Nor.
folk Dispatch.
With increased experience. he
will undoubtedly bring the New
Orleans Item rapidly to the front
rank Of Southern journals, as the
field there is an extremely rich
one.
The circulation Of the Item at
present is about 10000 daily. and
we expect to see that number
greatly increased a soon as Mr..
Thompson gets the new official
machinery working smoothly.

juneture. 1t is not enough that we pay
our taxes and support our government
ungrudgingly, there are other elements
OF the immense game and they should
be realized and appreciated to the full
by the man in whose behalf they are
invoked
The officers in charge OF these huge
schemes OF equipment and training are
anxious that the general citizenry
should flock to the scene and make in
quiries and take notes and satisfy them
selves of the Success and efficiency on
the men engaged. And it has another
and more important bearing on the
future, since it acquaints the ordinary
citizen with the shortcomings OF the
service in the matter of equipment and
departmental establishment, and creates
a sentiment urging the making good Of
all that is needed. It pays the citizen
to keep in touch with all these things
and gives him knowledge and aptitude
for discussing and demanding the es-
sentials that is often instrumental in
compelling the governments attention
and concession.
