W. E. WIGLEY,
Internal Revenue Reduction.
Dallas News.
The malcontents are not to have
the satisfaction of saying, during
the coming debate in congress, that
the ways and means committee ig-
nored the question of internal rev-
enue taxes oppressive in their in-
cidence; neither can they urge the
suggestion of compromise, so as to
remove part of tho taxes from in-
ternal revenue sources, had been
disregarded. About $30,000,000
is the estimated reduction in this
field; namely, $25,000,000 from to-
bacco and $5,000,(XX) from miscel-
laneous articles. The country will
be well satisfied that the whisky
tax is let alone, not that there is
entire agreement as to taxing whis
ky, and not that it must necessari-
ly be taxed as a temperance meas-
ure—that is only the idea of some,
and less the idea of temperance
professors than others—but simply
that it is one of those taxes which
the people can endure. If it falls
on spirits used for medicinal pur-
poses, the quantity so used in
family need not generally bo ex-
cessive. Tobacco and miscella-
neous articles are the objective
points of the reform movemont, as
it touches internal revenue, and it
must be admitted that the bill
makes a deep cut so far as the to-
bacco taxes are concerned. There
may be somo of the southeastern
spoils partisans who will not be
satisfied, but if there is any. mean-
ing to Virginia and North Carolina
in the word compromise, they must
see that their views have been bet-
ter considered than in any former
tariff bill, and now it is for them
to decide whethei the wishes of
tho extreme moonshiner element
of Georgia shall have more in-
fluence than tho reasonable propo
sitions presented by the ways and
means committee. The moonshiner
organ at Atlanta, posing as demo-
cratic, might bo leading the demo-
cratic party into an ambush if its
vehement and preposterous de-
mands for free whisky were in-
dorsed by the party in tho present
revenue and tariff situation. The
democracy has to guard against
wild councils, and how should
Brownism in Georgia be the wis
dom of democracy, when Brownism
has been known for so much else?
Positively, there is no guarantee
that moonshiner politics is not
worse than mere moonshine. It
looks like a trap and a trick to un-
horse the democratic leader in a
presidential campaign, and to de-
liver the country to the republican
spoilsmen and their confraternity
of the high tariff establishments.
The tobacco growers, it is hoped,
will appreciate the supplemental
portion of the work of the ways
and means committee and act ac-
ordingly, using their efforts to
secure the whole bill against muti
lation or defeat.

Special Correspondence to the Monitor.
Washiegton, March 12.
The news of' the death of Em-
peror William has been the Cause
of much discussion in diplomatic
circles as to its effect on the Eu-
ropean situation. The sympathy
of most of the Foreign Ministers
seems to be with tho Crown Prince
Frederick William. And there ex-
ists much agitation on the prospect
of an early European war being
precipitated by the death of the
Crown Prince which may follow
soon upon the death of his aged
father. These impressions, not of
your correspondent, but of the di-
plomatic service, are given as suffi-
cient and carry weight although not
official and only diplomatically ex-
pressed.
The German Minister, Baron von
Alvensleben, formally tendered his
letter of recall to the President last
week. A dinner had been arrang-
ed by the many diplomatic and
official associates of the retiring
Minister the day before the Em-
peror's death, but owing to his ru-
mored death tho Minister felt con-
strained to remain away, and so
the feasting had to proceed without
the guest.
Congress has begun an investiga-,
tion into the " trusts " which have
been formed by many of tho man-
ufacturing interests of the country
to keep up the price of commodi-
ties. An investigation of the same
character has boon in progress for
some time past by a committee of
the Legislature of New York, but
there the results were very unsat-
isfactory. Congress has mado the
inquiry national with a view of
preventing such combinations de-
feating the objects of tho proposed
tariff legislation.
During the speech of Senator In-
galls on the Dependent Pension
Bill the galleries were literally
packed with curious and enthusias-
tic humanity. All present were
well paid for patiently waiting so
long for the intellectual contest to
begin. Ingalls himsolf was in his
most sarcastic mood and with great
bitterness and venom hurled his
condemnatory epithets at tho Pres-
ident and his whole party. Ho
classed ail democrats as enemies
to their country. The fiery Joe
Brown replied in scathing language
and took much of the venom out of
the Kansas Senator's speech by
showing the patriotism of the Dem-
ocratic party, and how little tho
Kansas Senator did during the dark
days of the civil war to sustain his
section's view of the right of the
controversy. Tho speeches, how-
ever, when printed in pamphlet
form for distribution contain only
the one side of the debate, and so
the purpose of the politician is an
swered.
The Senate is gradually break-
nig the ice on the secret session
relic, and now an open session may
bo had whonever a majority vote
calls for it. The next step wil
be to have no secret sessions at all.

ter before the House with a view
of having the contumacious witness
incarcerated for contempt until he

Congress lias appropriated $10,-
000 for the purchase from the will-
ow of Gen. .lames Shields the two
swords received by that Mexican
war hero, one from the Legislature
of Illinois and the other from t he
Legislature of South Carolina.
These swords will be. deposited in
the National Museum here as his-
torical mementoes, and tho amount
paid for them will enable the will-
ow of the hero to live in comlort
the remainder of her life.
Working Men mill the Law of
Conspiracy.
Now York Mail and .Express,
Judge Brady has just pronounced
the opinion of the general term of
the Supreme Court of this slate to
the effect that it is a "criminal
conspiracy punishable with ima
prisonment" for any number of
men to agree together in order to
makeJt impossible for any man t<>
labor 1$ tho trado or calling by
which ^e gains his livelihood.
This dedf pion was given in a, ease
that arises upon the grievance of a
man whofm the Knights pursued
revengefully by striking ag;l,im I
any establishment that employed
him. His fidelity to his employer
appears to have been the cause of
their ill-will. He had discovered
a dishonest way of increasing
wages, and discharged the man
who practiced it; whereupon the
Knights oft Labor, taking up the
cause of the dismissed man, event
ually procured tho discharge of the
other; and . following this, 'they
pursued him from city to city, and
a strike was always ordered where
ho was emplhyed, so that all shops
were shut against him. Upon hi ■
complaint the leaders in t he eon-
spiracy were arrested and held for
trial, and tKe decision just given in
n habeas corpus proceedings (Wi-
the discharge of one of them from
custody. The Supreme Court re-
fuses to discharge him, sustaining
in this a previous decision in the
same effect oft Judge Barrett, and
holding, conB^ucntly, that if is a
crime to thus pursue any man. I f
it were not a crime all our law
would be a farce and the pretense
that we arc a free people would be
die nonsense; for a man would be
free to do only jwhat the Knights
of Labor permitted. For oU'ending
them he could be hunted
hounded to death.

The Greenville Herald prints the
following short and sensible mi
sionary article: "It may be all
right to educate Japanese girls and
send good money to the heathen,
but the same money expended in
helping our own poor would eomo
nearer bringing upon us tin' hh -
ings of heaven." That is not the
way of the world. Charity mas-

to her own family.—State IV in
