The New Yerk WerM, which stoutly anppertcd Mr. Carlisle or speaker, nnd which lias been friendly te Mr.Morrlsen M ft publle man, warns them that the pivotal state of New Yerk can beat lie carried for the Democrats new as it was carried by them, against greater odds than new exist, in 1608 upon u tariff platform Bomethinit like this : " A tariff for rovenue upon foreign Imports, and sach equal taxation under tlie internal revenue laws as will nfferd incidental protection te domestic manufactures, and as will, without impairing the rev enue, impose the least burden upon and best promote and encourage the great industrial Interests of the ceun'ry." In considering the tariff expressions of party platforms In the past and their rolatlena te party success, It is well te net leso sight of the fact that in seme campaigns this Issue was mere conspicu ous than in ethers. In the fight of 180S, for Instance, it was discussed very little; nnd although in 1S70 the Democratic platform favored a tariff for revenue only and violently assaulted the existing rate of tariff duties, the question was hardly mentioned, all Interest centering In the Issue of administrative- reform, which Mr. Tilden's candidacy embodied by reason of the record he had made in his own state. In 1SS0, the tariff issue was only raised, it will be remembered, after the Maine election, nnd it was skip fully handled by the opposition te carry the states of Indiana and New Yerk, where an increase of manufacturing In terests had brought about seme change of sentiment en this question. Ne observant mind can fail te appre elate that with the growth of manufac tures In the Seuth and "West there has been a'generul conservation of public opinion en the tariff question. Few new favor absolute f ree trade and equally few would support the notion of a prohibitory protective tariff, calculated te fester monopolies ; the question is net properly a party nor sectional ene and if Us con sideration could be freed from the bitterness and selfishness of partisan discussion, we believe It could be settled ou business principles in a manner that would give te the country peace and secure te Its business that degree of quiet and freedom from periodical dis turbance which it most of nil needs There Is by no means such real difference between the theories of the lending debaters en this subject as the public Is led te believe ; their chief divergence Is as te methods by which certain euds are te be reached. A considerable number of the Deme cratic party leaders hpciii te be of the opiuien that a tariff revision is the only vital issue before the country ; this is tee much of a surrender of Democratic priuciple te be acceptable. The demand for administrative reform is mere ur gent new than when Mr. Seymour car ried New Yerk, net se much because of the tariff plank en which lie st ed, as because of his high character and wide reputation for integrity ; there is mere need new of a nomination that will com mand the popular confidence which was inspired by Mr. Tilden's In 1870, than there was thou. The Republican party has net reformed itself nor the public service; the people are net satisfied with it ; the iniquities and inequalities of an uejuit tariff are only one phase of its abuses ; te make them the exclusive ob ject of assault is te neglect ether nnd equally, if net mere important consider ntiens. What the ceuutry demands Is a man big enough and bread enough te grapple with all the evils that alllict the body politic, net a hobby rider uer spa clallst. Economic and revenue reform is only a alngle branch of the subject; the man for the times mini te a large extent b3 his own platform. Protection te New.-'. The New Yerk Sun sustaius the Courier-Journal in the demand for copy right protection for " news." The respectability of Messrs. Dana and "Wat tersen, as dealers in neivs, give.) value te their suggestion, butthis seems te be the only value It has. There Is nothing in the idea te sustain It beyond the bare authority of theso who recommend it. It has net recommended itself te the judgment of editors generally ; a fact which causes its promoters te grew wrathful, nnd te charge theso who take issue with tliem with being "news thieves;" and the Sun la even angry enough te call the editor of the Buffalo A'cics a feel, bo be bo causehe declared it absurd te claim that a uewspnper has a right te " news" after it has sold It te the public, any mere than a man has a right te the land, or a merchaut te the tea he lias sold and been paid for. The Sun thinks it nn awers this comparison by saying that "It Is net within the duty of Congress te protect the rights of property in land or tea," but It has the power te protect theso rights in literature " by securing for limited times te authors and invent ors the exclusive right te their respect ive writings and discoveries," Unfortunately for the ferce of the Sun's answer it is net literary work that it asks protection for. That la protected under the present laws. What it wants te secure property In is news;" net the particular words lu which the news Is clothed, but the news Itself. If they can claim preperty In this as Inventors, Cengrem might property protect their discoveries; but news tlut Is Invented is net news but story ; It it is true it could net be invented, and it Invented could net be true. News must be fact te be news, nnd be the Sun cannot claim congressional power te protect property in It under Its power te protect Inven tion. It Is very true that most of the news of the special correspondent lacks the Important element of truth ; but It has its only value in its pretence te be truth ; and such false pretence cannot decently ask protection from the law. This colored representatives In the Heuso of Delegates of Virginia, new in session at Richmond, are very indignant at the declaration of Jehn S. Wise, their particular ropresontntlvo in Congress, that "colored members of the Legisla ture came te his heuse te consult him, but they always came te his kitchen. '' A half dozen colored members aroie In the Heuse te deny the impeachment, de claring that they did net knew the location of Mr. Wise's kitchen if he had any, nnd avowing that they were in the habit of doing business in people's businesi eftlccs. Mr. Wise Is unfortun ate in having constituents whose politi cal equality nlone he concedes, and whose votes alene he solicits. A con gressman who invites his constituents te his kitchen ennnet expect te llve long as their representative, unless it is a part of the understanding that they shall have a geed feed te make up for the insult te their dignity. But It is certainly n very remarkable stnte of affairs when representatives in the Leg islature of a sovereign state cannot enter into the heuse of their congress men by the front deer.
