Tho lottery matter was argued in
tlie judiciary committee at \\ asliing
ton January 30th ult. Mr. Brown,
the author of the biU to prohibit
newspapers containing such adver
tlsements to pass through the mails,
argued in its favor. Mr. Jell Candler
argned Against the bill. His argument
was that Congress had no right to des
troy tvhat a state had created, and
that the constitution epxressly pro
hibited the censorship of the press.
lls maintained that, if they had the
rigli^ to prevent the circulation of a
newspaper, they had (he light to sup
press it in the “lorms,” The right
to publish carries with it the right to
circulate. If congress could suppress
the circulation of a newspaper, because
it had objectionable matter in it, con
gress might cause the examination of
the manuscript in the composing
rooms, and might suppress the pub
lication. His argument was pro
nounced by members of the committee
the ablest one yet beard, and will, in
probability, decide their report.

Tax reduction is a necessity. There
Can be no successful defense of a fis
cal policy which takes more money
out of the pockets ot the tax payers
than is necessary for the economical
administration of the government.
The remedj for excessivo revenue
is revised taxation. President Arthur
recoruended to this end the abolition
of the tobacco tax an enlargement of
the free list, and simplification and
feluctiour of the duties on cotton, iron
steel, sugar, wool and woolens. Pres
ident Cleveland recommends free raw
materials of manufactures and such
other tariff redention on tho necessa
ries of living as shall afford tlre great
est possible relief of the publtc.hurden.
TheK nights of Labor are after the
Government Bureau of Engraving and
Printing. It seems that quite recently
the Bureau Introduced improved pros
es for printing the notes and silver
certificates which until then had been
printed by hand. Tne new machinery
caused quite a reduction in the force,
and the Knights charge that the work
done by the machinery is far infeiior
to tlie hand work, that it is rottgh and
easily counterfeited. The Knights
are at the Capital in force and C'eir
cause is championd by Representative
Foran who expects to get an early re
port from the Committee on the ques
tion.
Iherc is some quiet talk of trving
to make Gen. Grant’s birthday a na
tional holiday. like that of Washing
ton. Gen. W- T- She "man is net pleas
ed with the suggestion. The president
he says, is a bail one, and there arc so
many men who might have the same
honor accorded their memories that
after a while there \vo»y be 365 legal
holidays in the year. The General is
right. The same principle applies to
granting pensions to toe wives of dis
tinguished Generals; and in this mat
ter Congress has set a precedent that
Is likely to cost the countiy a big sum
of money.
Senator Ingalls campaign speech the
latter part of this vvpek will not be de
voted specially to the tariff question
but will treat of political matters gen
erally and is expected to be a caustic
arraigtnent of the Democratit party.
The Democrats however can stand it as
they are accustomed to the Senator’s
carcasra and will have an opportunity
in turn show up the Republicans. So
ac none of the Democratic Senators
have made political speechs but they
will before long.
Mexico’s Presidential election oc
curs next June, and it is probable
that P resident Diaz will be his own |
successor. President Diaz has done
so much for Mexico, that to suffer de

But vvliat matters it? This is Ohio’s
Centennial year, and there is bound to
be a grand time throughout the State.
Marietta, being the earliest settled
city in the State, claims the fris t
honors. The annual celebration on
tire 7th of April, has been held for
many years there, and the Pioneer
Society still Ming to that day as the
one to be observed and will do so ac
cordingly. A com mi tee of one hun

have decided to have a grand demon
stration during the last week in May.

for some certain event, the first one
will be for all the State Militia, to go

there. Columbus being agrandeerr-!

Tariff Reform.
Mr. Breckinridge, of Kentuckev
says that the question of taxation is
the most important one with which
the government has to deal, and that
question was now before the Ameri
can people in an imperfect manner.
Congress had but recently refused
the question consideration, hut since
then the great, brave President fas
declared that the tariff is to-day the
one question the most worth the at
tention of Congress of the countiy.
The surplus now accumulating is so
much subtracted from the business
enterprises of the country; it fostered
corruption and was a perpetual
menace to honest government. But
great as these are they are the least
of the evils which confronts us now,
for this accumulating surplus threat
ens business panics and is educating
the people to false ideas of their re
lations to the government.
This is not a paternal Government.
Phis government is but a trustee of
the people, with powers limited by a
deed ot trust w hich we call the con
stitution, The money in the Treasury
is not the money of the government;
it is the money of the people, wrung
from them by a false and wrong poli
cy of taxation, Twenty seven years
ago our flag was in every port, now
it is scarcely in auy. The trade of
Canada, of South America, and of
Mexico, has been taken by other na
tions and lost to us by the false sys
tem which makes the rich tidier, but
the poor poorer. We cannot carry
cargoes to other ports because we
cannot bring back to our protection
cursed imuutry a cargo from foreign
poits in return. To obtain some idea
of what we can do, look at tne leath
er tiade of the country and how it has
thriven since we allowed hides come
in free. Before that ive exported ieath
er by the hundreds of , thousands of
dollars worth per year, now we ex
port it by millions of dollars worth
per vear.

ACAiNS f IHn BLAIR LL.,
Mr. Candler’s views on tire B.'ai;
bill have been considerably twisted by
some of the Georgia papers. He is
opposed to the Blair bill because ot
the conditions attached to it, v/hicli
practically gives the Federal govern
ment supervision and controll ol the
State schools. This, he thinks, a cen
tralizing tendency, nnwarietitcd by
the constitution; but ho is not oppos
ed to tlris distribution of the surplus
in the treasury among tire States for
educational purposes, if the distribu
tion is made wrllioM restriction or con
ditions. He will oppose any bill flint,
directly or indirectly, gives tlie federal
government even part’s!’ of
onr schools. Under tucli a bill, be
thinks, mixed schools might be forced
upon us, and all the white childfcn in
the black belt driven from pavtieipa
lion in tho common school fund or
forced to submit tip social equality.
A majority of Mr. Candler’s com
mittee will support him on this line.
Bills have already been introduced
ami refered to the committee provid
ing aid for common schools tee from
tederal supervision < r control by Mr
Crain, of Texas, and Mr. Enloe, of
Tennessee, arid if any bill passes tho
house it will be one of this character,

Rev. Sam Jones is reported to have vnudf
