Ill nitlirirniyal cannot but be .1 source of reoret In Uw IVcsldent, as U must bo to the busi ness coinmttnity generally. Mr. Manning's catver In tho Treasury lias been an pxtraordluaiy one. lleentered that great olllco with no experience In pub lic affairs, either jidinliilstiall(itr legisla tive, ami with only that moderate ilhert training In finance that was to be hail In the presidency of a relatively unimportant Albany bank. His life had becu spent In tliu pursuit of bis privato business as owner ami editor of the Ail-any .,'rgus and In politics. In which he had done Important and Micccssful work but not work that tho public recognized as lilting htm for Ills new position. Ills conduct of the Treasury Department proper, as relating o the fi1c.1l and financial pollcy"he has adopted, isjhe nmt renmrk- nuie, andsivos eviaencogqualitles and poners of the rarestsort. He has called about him men of ery unusual ability and force a fact in itself showing capacity of no common order.

At no time since Hamilton, with the possible exception of the war pel led and that Involved wholly clKToiout con ditionshas llic administration of 1 lie Treasury Department been marked by greater vigor, Intelligence, foresight and courage than under Mr. Mannlrg. He has Uid before Congre$s a policy with reference to the revenues, covering not only the principles by which their distribution should be guided, but the principles of the administration of the laws as well, that is hardly open 10 criticism in its essential fea tures.

The present legislature promises to make itself famous, not for the number of bills presented and referred to the various com mittees, but tor the ludicrous measures which the demagogue presents and enthus iastically advocates. A good bit of time Is thus taken up by the. introduction of meas. ores which can benefit no one In the least 1y their passage. Those familiar with the tonstltuthm aic nunreth.it .1 bill must pass both Housn and Senate before going to the Governor forhts approval. A bill must be read on three different days In each house so that the process of legislation consumes considerable time, ft would probably not ku a bad Idea if a regular system were adopted hy which a limited number of bills conM he chalked ripen tho calendar. It would be a means of limiting the amount ef work for legislators, and be productive of good effects. At this lime there are up on the, legislative calendar bills enough to ocenpy the attention of that body for n whole year, and every day finds new meas ures introduced, which only proves a means of raturding legislation rather than Infill enci'ng It, It seems to bo tho desire of the tetter and more intelligent members to ad journ as soon after the first of May as pos sible, although the session may possibly be prolonged until the fust of July. The Prohibitionists are having a Jubilee and are loud In their claims of credit for the submUsioh craze that has apparently taken hold of the Kenubllcans. It is safe to presume., howgyerrfthat if they knew the truo fctllnga of the liepubllcan leaders to them, they would not be so sanguine, net so enthusiastic as (lie) aro now. Not a' elngln one of the liepiibllc-iu Senators Is In the irait friendly tn prohibition. It Is ' looked upon by them as an Impracticable ontl impolitic piece, of legi.latloii ui!fh will ; redound allh no benefit (u the Iteuublloat) 1 lny, What liastrcn done thus far hy f tbo Ilepubhcans for prohibition Is not be- cattso they believe In it, or that thcyliaro the least sympathy for the cause, but as n, means of bringing back to tho fold tho sheep "ho have strayed from the stockyard of Itcptibllcan Ideas and principles to the flimsy ideas and notions -of the "cranky prohibitionists.1' Tho republicans are. not to be caught napping; the leaders of that party were well aware what a submission pi auk could and wonld do for them or it would never have been Inserted. Juay and Cooper and many more nble party leader bellevo that If this clement Is not appeased the State will be Inst to them In the next campaign. It was for the same reason that the Democrats Inserted the high license plank, which, after all, would bo tbo best means of restricting the liquor traflic. Prohibition has been tried In many States and not wltli veiy successful results, and especially in a case of this kind where a submission law Is passed for patty ends am! not for the good of tho cause. It will cast a shallow en the face of the law and will not bu a strict means of preventing the breaking of It, that which Is done for party purposes will be undone for tho'sam6 ends. Without the liquor lement tho liepubllcan party Is lost in this State, and It is hardly to bo hoped that the Interests of that ele ment will not ba so severely antagonized by tho passage of a submission bill that they will leave the liepubllcan party almost to n man especially will this be thecaso If a compensatory clause Is not added. The 'Governor sentfhls' compliments to tho Legislature, last iwelc with an approval of the Magistrates hill. He submitted no reason w ill) the approval. 1 lie new Gov ernor, no doubt, exhibited a certain amount of tact in not arguing the matter pro and con. It Is rather unfortunate that Heaver should have had this distinctive politi cal piece of legislative work thrust under his nose at the out-set of his career. There Is no question but that he would have avoided it if lie could, and especially so soon after his Inaugural, when lie had laid such particular stress upon the fact that he was a public servant, ready for service. One political legislator observed when the approval to the Magistrates bill was an nounced In tho House, that "Ilsarcr takes his medicine straight." Very straight, It must bo confessed, and with proper cxperl ence he will make a dandy Governor. There are about forty Knights Of Labor In the House, and every one Is full and over-running with hopeful Ideas concern ing the amelioration of the laboring classes and desire to apply the patiecca of lcgUla tlon. Carbon's two labor representatives occupy conspicuous seats and will no doubt show up fully when the time comes. I have frequently noticed your townsman, Hon. A. W. Kaudcnbush, and am of tho opinion that when fully initiated he will bu a valuable addition to .the liepubllcan forces. He is a bright, intelligent lookiu gentleman, and an acquaintance of mine speaks very higiilv of him, as having pro nounced and conservative views 011 the various matters, of public legislation, and especially so the prohibition submission bill. TAXTOX. Broadbrim's to M letter. Special to the CAimojf Advocatk. Ifjyou can Imagine the feeling of a man sitting on top of a barrel of giant powder with the head knocked out and his bitter est enemy standing by with a lighted torch in his hand, you can have some idea of the feelings of our people 'for the last six days, It is not altogether from what tlin strikers have done as from tho probabilities sug gested by their presence of what they might do. Considering tho immense numbers engaged In tho strike, the adverse. Interests Involved, and the tiemendous stakes played for in the struggle, the only wonder is that thero has been so little trouble and so little violence. Here and there some obstreper ous and drunken striker lias been clubbed by the police, or some non-union man has received a beating from tho strikers, but striking a general average, as an Insurance man would say, all the circumstances con sidered, I doubt if a quieter or better be haved body of men could be found hi any country in the world. Still there has been an exceedingly uncomfortable feeling all the week as to what was going to happen for a solid body of thirty or forty thousand men acting all one way, and such men as tho Milkers are, cannot be wisely slighted or despised. I took a stroll along the wharves several times during the week and on every corner I found knots of Idle men. Thero was lit- tln loud talking, no threats, and very little diinking. Many of the groups stood to gether without exchanging a single word, but there was something terribly earnest about them, and as I looked at thtdr weather beaten faces and brawny arms tiiey were suggestive of tremendous possibilities. Kvery branch of trade has been affected by the strike the butcher, the baker, and candlestick-maker suffering In thegeucial depression. What has a coal strike got to do witli tailors and grocers? you ask. Very much. Most of our large manufacturing concerns use mote or less machinery. Coal Is tho motive power, and these factorhs have been compelled to shut down. One of thu largest sugar houses In Brooklyn was compelled to slop and seven hundred men were thrown out of cmyloynient by the. strikes. All the papers have advertise ments for men at fifteen dollars a week or thirty 'ccnts an Irour for day work and sixty dents for night work, night work commencing at U r. si., so that a man who works thirteen hours makes nearly five dollars a dav. Though there are thousands who want work, when they sen that solid army of determined strikers even five dol lars a day Is scarcely a temptation. Never before in tho history of these two cities of New York and Brooklyn have we been called upon to meet anything like this orcamzeit resistance 01 lauor. Every one feels that it Is a life and death struggle. If '.he unions are victorious It paves the way with capital for all future demands how ever exoibitant and unreasonable, and on the other hand, If capital is allowed to triumph, good bye to the Knights of Labor; their power will bo broken, and they can never again become serious factors in the settlement of labor questions. While cap ital has beeu liicoyenienced, all the real suffering has been inflicted on thu poor. The sudden rise In the price of coal In mid winter, lo double or triple its fanner value, has been a serious calamity to tlin poor. It has not only deprived them of flro in their homes, but It has been the means of closing tlndr wurkshops and factories, de priving them of employment and bringing them to the verge of starvation. It looks to me as If capital was materially bcneilted by the strike Instead of being Injured as the strikers Intended. Kicry ton of coal that now comes into the city brings from t o to three dollars a ton more than It did three weeks ago. There are about two millions of tons of coal ready for delivery, and the j strikeis have made this coal worth two or j three millions of dollars more than It was on the first of January. Wo hone fir an amicable settlement, where full and ample jnstlco shall bo done to both patties. Tho burning of tho Cromwell Dock made us feel uncomfortable. It may Imto been carelessness or accident or something else, but occtirlng just, at this time It was un fortunate. Though $200,000 worth of property was destroyed, wo wern fortunate in savlpg with slight damage, two of the finest steamships in our port, and mora especially fortunate in escaping wlthont serious loss of life. We hopo for the best. Tho men are sober and quiet and the authorities fully prepared for any emergen cy. Still, as I remarked at the beginning, wc feel very much like that fellow sitting on a barrel of powder. I think everybody is fighting mad, and every day tha row between tho rival operas is getting wanner. Tho Metronolltan Opera House w Itli German opera Is sweep ing on m ijestlcally to tho end of Its season with fall coffcre, full honscs. and audiences whoso enthusiasm sometimes threatens to lift the ponderous roof right off the house. I have seen, what pcoplo call enthusiasm. I have witnessed furores, for actors and singers, but I liavo nayer, never, never" seen nnythtng that will compare with tills agner craze.. The Germans aro not a mercurial or cxcitablo people like the French. .As a general thing they go slow, take things deliberately, and nro not easily tnrown 011 or their -center!. I am not astonished that Strauss should mqyo them. Ofton as I hayo sat in tli . big music halls of llerlln, Vienna, Frankfort, apd Hanover, and have watched a thousand counle.s. everyone of which would tip thoscale at)4 quarter of a ton, whirling' around like a couple of Immense cannon balls and with tho Impact of a battering ram, although I'm no chicken 1'vo often felt like kicking up my heels myself; hut what Is there In onr latest craze. Tristan and I soldo to move, men and women to madness Is one of tlioso incomprehensible things that I never expect to find out. I spoke of this matter a couple of weeks ago, and my wondir hlghtcns for on cvejy representation the tilings grows, and ,tlje hoiifo is crowded with musical lunatics whose case Is hope less. The difference In the success of two 'of the greatest musicians that we have had on this continent Theodore Thomas and Anton Scldl can be summed up In a. nut shell. Mr. Thomas is n great musician, a great organizer, a great leader. No one doubts this. Ho has done much for music In this country, but unfortunately for him self ho is troubled with a dlsoaso vulgarly known as the big head, ami with his In creasing years it has become chronic. He exacts great deference from everybody that is brought In contact with him and his treatment of tho members of the press has simply been insufferable. Tho Now York scrfbes are a remarkably Independent body of men and are used to considerable de ference themselves, they could not and would not brook the airs of Mr. Thomas. For many years Mr. Thomas hail it all his own way in this country and was Hie acknowledged autocrat In musical matters, tits word made or unmade-men, till at last his conduct became so overbearing and Impeitlnent that resistance becamo orsan- ized to dethrone him. The advent of Dr. Damarosch was hailed with delight by the men, anil women who longed for Mr. Thomas' downfall. Capital that had re- luseo to ant Mr. Thomas was generously placed at the disposal of Dr., Damarosch. and the result was tho magnificent Metro politan Opera House. Such an Institution had been the dream of Theodore Thomas' life, but a stranger was Invited to take the baton, In the city where Thomas had been working half of his-life. He was the first man to Invite the American public to appreciate the beauties of Wagner, and when Wagner gave his first grand per formance at llayreuth, Theodore Thomas gave a series of Wagner concerts, devotln the proceeds te the purchase of prize tick ets for pilgrims to the Wagner shrine, but with all of his transcendent, abilities lie failed to appreciate the scribes" and on that rock h split, and now the scribes are hunt ing lilm down. It was a cold day when Theodore forgot the critic "better for him that he had never been born; better that .1 millstone had been cast about his neck and that ho were drowned in the sea." Anton Seldl profited by Mr. Thomas's experience and avoided his mistakes; thu consenuenco is that no music was ever heard liko Wag ner s and no intcprcter ever unfolded Its beauties like Seidl. Overtures that would give an ordinary man a vollent attack of colic havo been musically declared eqinl to Mrs. Wllslow's Soothing Syrup. Scenes u hero the 275 pound Ilomeo clasped In his affectionate arms a substantial fairy w ho could only hae been weighed In a hay scale, have awakened the wildest frenzy and received the most rapturous applause. I lie man who worked to effect all' this through the heat and burdeti of the dav. did not get ids penny; but the man who came In at the eleventh hour has reaped all tho giory and all the profit. Seidl beers the reporters, and the reporters wine Scldl. Thomas, though a Wagneritc, is now at the bead of the English opera, and the question h, shall wo have native English opera reared and tutored on our on n soil; or Ger man opera, with everything imported from Ilia lililne? From a financial standpoint the German opera has got us. It pays its bills. English opera, according to its bal ance sheet, Is $150,000 behind. This Is rather a poor financial shoviingjor anjin stltutlon that has been heralded ,as ttm.v tlonal success. - 1, An effort was made to create a sensation because the Klraify tronpo went to hear a Methodist minister preach last Sunday. Thero was nothing In It. The managers of the troupe invited the minister to the theatre; ho did not go. Ho Invited them lo come to church and they accepted the Invitation. That Is all ihere was of it. Tho minister did it as an empty compli ment, 'and was astonished to find that the actors toak It In earnest. I hope they were both benefited. Some of the papers seem lo think there ls something very novel about an actor or an actross going to church. I know plenty of them ns pious church members and leguiar livers as any in this land. Among the ladles I would especially mention Slnry Anderson as one of the brightest ornaments of the American stage, Emma Nevada I'almer, the opera singer, Mrs. Gilbert, of Daly's, and any number of pious and devout ladles I could name who are among tho most prominent members of the dramatic profession. It was whispered that a number of the old deacons and trus tees expected they would appear In spangles and tights, but they did not. Stocks are dull, many of the best opera tors are waiting to see what will turn up. Lively figuring Is being done here on Presi dential candidates, and we are trying to discount the future. Mayor Hewitt, who Is yet scarcely warm In his seat, is said to be casting out an anchor to windward, Governor Hilt has an army of friends in tho rauks of the. eolid workers, and lie who oe- tuples the Presidential chulr has a strong delegation who are nut unmindful of his Interests.

There Is no conten tion or distuibauce between tbo employer or laborer. I always thought up North that thero was a great race question to be solved; but tho question has solved Itself and In a pcaccablo way. The darkles are contented and happy, tiiey expect to work. The whites, North or South, never expect to bo governed or ruled by the black race. They never expect to allow marrlago'bc tween the races. Do you suppose flat, Hen ryWnrd Ileucher would bo willlngttf ico Ids children marry negroes? If he v,mld not, neither were the negroes pleased at Fred. Douglas' marrying a white woman. This thing has settled down and will be settled for all time the white people are a supcrler race, they w III rule North, East, South and H'est; the negroes know tblsand arc content. With tha advantage of cheap labor, farmers ought to maku large profits down hero If they did not plant so much cotton and tobacco. Northern farmers coming down here and pursuing the tame ccturse they do In the North can make as, much as they do North with less work anil certainly be In a much more pleasant clim ate. Dy tho way, Mr. Editor, ore jou still at the telephone? well, I was going to say, "why uon't you come down and spend a week or two looking around? I see you own a lot In Southern Pines, and under stand you have a free pass if yu want to come.
