The commlltco on ways mid moans
has virtually agreed upon the construepat
Hot of n tariff bill It Is Understood to
bo the , intention to improve the holidav
recess by giving a hearing1 to cortaln
interests concerned in the tariff , so that
the commtttoo may bo proparcd lmtnomo
dlntolynflor | the recess to address its
attention to the tasit of framing
n bill If this programme Is cartlo
riod out it ought to bo possltin
bio to have a measure ready
for presentation to the house not later
.
than the first of March It does not
seem to bo nocossnry for the cotntnlttco
J0 consume ' a great deal of time in obtin
taining , information from the prolectod
interests \ The scnuto fiiruico compo
. ,
mlttco giivo a very thorough ntid oxno
tended . huaring to those interests duran
ing the lost congress , and there can bo
very Uttlo now or additional informatic
tlon to bo obtained No great change
has tnlcon plnco within a. year In the
cotnmorcial conditions which can have
materially | , affected the manufacturing
industries of the country , nnd certainly
whntovcf , clinngo has taken plnco has
not boon to their Injury The iron in-
duslry in nonrly all branches has lmou
proved , , and It could doubtless bo shown
that most ethers nro moro profitable
now than they were a year ago But If
the ways and moans commltteo will reto
strict its inqulrios to the holiday recess
there will bo no objection , since this
period Is usually given to idleness
,
Th premise thus glvon of a
. . .
purpose to moot this question promptly
and dispose of It with the least posflblo
delay \ will bo gratifying to the country ,
Another long and tedious contest ever
the tariff , with the inevitable uncorso
talnty as to the result , could not fall to
bQ more or less damaging to all the Indc
forests concerned nnd to the general
business , of the country This quc-jtibti
should bo settled by the present concc
gross In a wny to remove it from controdt
vorsy for some years to come ,
and the ropublicnn majority in
congress will make " ti grave
mistake If It shall fail to do this Its
determination . . to tnko hold bf the quostl
tlon without delay would do doubly
gratifying . if it implied tin assurance
that it would make such a revision of
the tariff as the country desires and the
conditions warrant
But the prospect of this being done is
not altogether Uattorlng The demand
for the repeal and reduction of revenue
tnxes thrcatons to dofent a. gonornl revision -
vision of the tariff iu thod
direction of lowering duties
and materially enlarging the
free lvst Already there has boon ln-
troducod into the house n bill abolish
ing the tax on tobacco , and such a
measure is very llkoly to pass This i
would ' rodttco the revenue of the government -
ornmont about thirty million dollars ,
An effort will bo made to reduce the ,
tax ( on spirits , and this also will have a
very good elianco of success Another
proposition which may carry will bo i
for < the reduction of the duty on sugar ,
which is now about seventy-eight per
cent ad valorem to twonty-fivo per cent t
nnd the payment of a bounty of one
cent a pound to growers of domostie
sugar It is estimated by the best in-
formed ( inanciors In congress that the !
rovonucs of the government cannot bo i
safely rcducod moro than seventy mil
lion 1 dollars , so that If the contemplated
cut in internal taxes Is made und the
sugar duty reduced there can bo very (
little l if anything tnkon from tariff du-
ties This is the prospoot now pre
sontcd , and it is not oncournging to
those who uro honing for relief from
material modifications of the tariff
THE PLVjA FOR TOLERATION
Mr Henry W. Grady is undeniably
the 1 most eloquent champion of tlio
' now south " He bolievcs deeply and
earnestly i In a great f uturo of power and
prosperity for that soctlon , to bo
nchioved i by Industry , cntorpriso and
education , Ho is in full and hearty
sympathy with the progressive spirit of > '
the tlmo us to all mnterial r.ud moral
conditions By tongue and pen ho
has done much to stimulate the
people of the south in the work
of industrial restoration nnd develop
ment in which they have airoudy been
so lnrgoly successful His in ton bo and
patriotic devotion to the interests and
welfare of his boction is worthy of all
admiration , nnd everywhere com
mands It
But whlloMr Grudy has grown Into
sympathy with now and hotter Idons
and iniluoncos iu allot her respects , ho i
romalnB firmly bound to the political
traditions nnd prejudices _ , of the |
old south This was clearly shown
in his speech ut the banquet of the Bos
ton merchant ! last wcok , the Uowing
and glowing periods of which could not
conceal the fact that the old southern
spirit still dominates him so far as the >
political relations of the whlto und colored I-
orod citizens of the south are concern od ,
and that in obodlonco to It ho is pro
pared to disregard and violate the , con
stltutlon nnd laws of the country Mr
Grady's address , the eloquence of
which has boon widely and just
ly extolled , discussed the race
problem , and among ether things tlio
orator said : The negro vote can
never control In the south , and it would
bo well if partisans ut the north would
understand this " and ho further do-
clnrod that no power under this gov
ernment could reestablish negro su-
premaoy in the south In ether a-oihIb ,
wherever the negroes may bo in the
majority In that boction they will not
bo allowed to oxorolso the fight of the
majority under our system of govern
mont to control Having thus unquali
fiedly proclaimed the purpose of the
southern whltos to disregard the pro
vision ot the constitution which says '
that the right of oltlzons of the United
States to vote shall not be douled or
abridged by the United States or by any
Btato , ou account of race , color , or pre
vious condition of servitude , " and rote
nullify national laws in order to keep
the negroes from tho.onjoymontof their
rights , Mr , Grady makes a plea for
patience and toleration for these on-
irlomlos of the constitution and the laws ,
Who uro the norlhorn partisans that
iroMr. . Grady would huvo understand thut
laltho colored citizens of the south will not
mabo poriultlod to have their rights ?
I They are the people who domund that
I the constitution shall bo respected in
every soctlon of the land nnd that the
nntlonal laws Bhall everywhere bo lmtht
partially nnd equitably administered ,
And what answer should bo glvon
to the appeal for toleration
and pntloncoV Shall it bo snid
that a mistake was made in
making the negroes cltizons nnd
clothing thorn with the rights of citl-
zonshlp nnd that now the only ropara-
tlon for the blunder is to leave thorn to
tin mercy of their political onomlos ?
And If this bo not admitted , how much
further can toleration and putiouco bo
extended in justice to these wronged
oltlzons and all who are wronged with
thorn ? When will the tlmo bo rcaohod
beyond which the law-rcspcctlng
people of the country will
not permit the constitution
and the laws , which nro the safeguards
of their Hbortlcs and their free instltu-
tlons , to bo ignored and doflod ? The
trouble with Mr Grady and nil who
think with him is that they have nolhmi
ing just ntid practicable to propose for
the solution of the race problem They
propose visionary schemes of negro
cmigrntio n or colonization , knowing
full well that they cannot bo carried
out , and thus dallying with the grcnt
issue they go on violating the national
law und plead for toleration and
patience Perhaps it is wisest und best
to hood tlio appeal , but It is as cortaln
as fate that tha wrong and Injustice in
behalf of which it is made will in time
be remedied

cal significance of the contest , the dead
lock seriously endangered the welfare

the courts was stopped ; conflicts ,
ol authority menaced public order ,
and necessary legislation was delayed
by ti conflict primarily duo to the sonii-
torships Involved Neither the repub
licans or democrats could afford to con
tlnuo this state of affairs to the consli-

the part ot wisdom for both sides to unbend -

- deadlock broken the court will bo or
ganized , and the judicial branch ot the
state ' proceed to-business at once It is (
probable that the olectlon of sonntorsand

IT is intimated that the adminlstra-

tlon may send Governor Pornkor of
Ohio to represent the government as

und there is every reason to believe that t
the governor would make a most credit
able and useful representative Although -
though the post ot minister to Russia is
a llrst-class mission , it has generally
been filled by rather commonplnco
men , who made little impression fa-
vorablo to themselves or , the country ,
upon the Russians Forakor would not
bo I likely to fail in this respect Ho 3
can bo depended upon to assert himself
whenever occasion warrants , and his
ardent Amorlcanism would win him a
measure ' of attention and regard which
few ' of our ministers have onjov'od at
