the decision of Justice of the Peace
the verdict of Petit Jury. or the re-
suit of a general election. The acQuit.
tai of Thornton Hams by the New York
jury is one of those rniscarriages oi
justice which shake the faith In the
jury system. Hams was a deliberate
murderer, for whom there was no ex-
cuse. He appears to be a venomous
creature among men, precisely as the
rattlesnake is among animals. From
his earliest beyhood, he has been think
ing about murder, contemplating It,
had the shocking murder of his boy
hood companion already on his soul,
and in spite of this load of guilt, swag-
gers around with revolver on his hip,
and says that mo gentleman should
ever be without one" The New York
jury had an excellent opportunity to
rid society of this pestilent creature and
grossly failed of its duty in not send
ing him promptly to the electric chair.

Mr.. Taft invariably talks breezy COM
mon sense, and he has been doing this
in an address to the Colored Y. M c.
A. at Augusta. In the first place, he
says what every sensible man North and
South knows, that all talk about trans
planting the negroes is economic non
sense. II it were practical it would
meet with the sternest opposition from
the Southerners themselves, who need
the negro labor. The negro is here to
stay, and we have got to make the best
of it. Mr.. Taft said that he was going
to be just as much President for the
negros as for the whites. and would,
whenever it came within his powers,
regard the rights of the race precisely
as he would those of any other class
of citizens. On the other hand, it rest
ed with the negroes themselves as to
their position in the community. They
could make themselves respected and
liked and valuable part of the COM
munity. This depended more upon
themselves than upon anybody else.
Other races had won respect in this
country by their good qualities and
their value to the community, and the
negroes could do the same.

STATE PENSION BILLS.

i We feel that a great many comrades
who are writing against the New York
land Pennsylvania Pension Bills are
making a decided mistake and are
those bills. The G. A. r. Committees
in New York and Pennsylvania who
Ihave drafted the bills and are charged
with promoting them in the Legisla-
lures have been 1aboring faithfully and
wisely and their work should be ap-
| proved. Veterans outside the State
should remember that these Committees
have unusual difficulties to encounter.
They cannot make an ideal pension bill,
especially at first. They must present
| bills to the Legislatures which they
can hope to have passed. This is one
fact that is too often forgotten by the
veterans in criticizing National pension
legislation. They make up their minds
what sort of bill should be passed and
then criticise severely the Commander
lin-Chief. Pension Committee, National
Tribune and others il the measure pro-
posed falls below their expectations
The C. A. R. Committees in New
framing their bills gone as far
as the Legislatures are likely to stand.
They would have been exceedingly fool
ish to have gone beyond this. What
use would there be in presenting bills
to the Legislatures which no one could
hope to have passed? The main thing
is to get bill of some kind passed now
has been the policy with regard to
National pension legislation and it has
been followed with great success. The
same should govern in matters of State
pension legislation. 1t is useless for
veterans to write long letters and make
class. While there are many in the
Legislature who remember and recog-
nize the great debt which the States of
New York and. Pennsylvania and the
United States owe to the veterans there |
is still far greater number who have |
been born or come in the country
since the war and who know and care
very little about the war and the men |
who fought it thru to victory This |
younger class has to be reckoned with |
in every project for pension legislation, |
and a bill must be prepared which will |
not arouse too violently their antag- |
onism. The G. A. r. Pension Commit |
tees of New York and Pennsylvania, we |
repeat, have done the very best they |
could, they have carefully studied the |
situation and they have gone as far in |
The direction of liberality as they |
thought was wise. We must accept |

THE TILLMAN CASE.

Senator Tillman's exhibits in his
speech in defense were most effective
in divorcing public sympathy from'him
According to his own showing he had
taken advantage of his position in the
Senate to denounce as a liar and a
swindler an honest, deserving man, to
the ruin Of the extensive business which
ne had built up. Mr.. Darr, the real
estate agent, seems to have been an
active, capable person, who had ac-
quired the confidence of purchasers and
investors, which invaluable business
possession was wrecked by TiIlman's
reckless and bitter denunciation. As a
result of Tillmane assault the Post
Office Department sent a special agent
to investigate Mr.. Darr and his meth
DDS of doing business, and the agent,
after the most complete investigation,
entirely exonerated him from all wrong
doing. Mr.. Darr then appealed to the
Postmaster-General to make the find
ings of the special agent public to help
to vindicate himself and undo the ter
rible wrong which Senator Tillman had
inflicted upon him 1t was very proper
that he should do this, and his request
to the Postmaster-G General for such
publication should have had the con-
sideration that every American citizen
is entitled to when he thinks himself
wronged. A United States Senator had
taken frightful advantage of his posi-
ton to injure a private citizen, and it
would seem incumbent upon the other
officers of the Government to lend what
assistance they could to righting the
injured man. This also relieves the
President from any imputation that
ne used the special agents of the Gov
to 'get even" with the mimi
,ity of a much-disliked Senator We
wish that Senator Tfllman's speech
could have the widest publicity pessi-
Die, and submitted to every plain, rea-
;oninng man in the United States for
lis consideration. Nothing would be
more hurtful to the Senator, for every |
'eader would see that he was trying to |
,ecloud the ugly facts against him by |
torrent of vituperation

THE TARIFF ON aUxURIKs.
We have received number OF let
ters OF the following purport:

we nave received numDn VI iet-
ters OF the following purport:
Editor National Trfbune: I see thru
your paper thst somA of your reader:
are giving their opifaons on the taIn
question. l suggest that our lawmak-
er5 make the tariff a tariff for revenue
only. Take the tariff OFF lumber and
| wood pulp and raise the tarfn on dla-
monds and costly jewels, and especialiy
all kinds of II Iiquors.-W. W. Duff,
Monterey. Ind.
The writer's Of these letters forget
| that luxuries. after all, are only small
part of the imports, and can necessarily
only furnish limited portion Of the
revenue, After all that is said about
the number of diamonds imported into
this country, the total value is very
skinny compared to that OF coffee,
sugar. India rubber, wool or hidess The
entire valuation Of all the diamonds
and jewelry Of every kind imported last
year was but $17,33S,327, a meager ex-
hibit compared to $45,o00,000 of raw
and manufactured wool, s74,o00,o0o of
chemicals, s70.o00,000 of coffee, 1884,
100000 of cotton and its manufactures,
s55. 5.00o,o 600 Of vegetable fibers, $780,
100000 of hides, skins and leather, $685.
100000 of silk and its manufactures,
and $S0,000,000 Of sugar. We all be-
lieve in making luxuries pay as much
as possible, but there must be a limit
to this. After duty passes certain
mark it defeats itself by making it too
profitable to smuggle. This is particu-
larly true Of diamonds and other arti-
cles of much value in little compass.
The present duty on diamonds is 60
per cent. Experience shows that this
is as high as it is wise to go. Beyond
this the Government would lose much
more than it would gain. The reward
Of defeating the law by smuggling would
be too great to be resisted, and it would
cost the Government more to guard
against this than it would get revenue.
1t is precisely the same way with the
duty on whisky. When the rate was
81 gallon the Government got very
little revenue, as men could make too
much by evading the law, and it cost
the Government most of the revenue to
detect and punish these violators. The
first principle in taxation is collectabil-
ity, and this has to be constantly con-
sidered in framing revenue schemes.
