TOBBUAY EVENING, MAIl. 10, 1004.
Distinction Without Difference.
Mr. Carlisle nt tlie dinner of the free
trade club, In New Yeik tlie ether duy,
Mltl : "Taxation must be only for tlie
purpose of festering and protecting
legitimate trude, strengthening Hit
Union, insuring tlie prosperity of the
pcoplennd perpetunting the system of
government under which we live." And
tlie se called free traders applauded htm
for the declaration. Such u plank in
the next national plat form of the Dem
ocratie patty would net, we venture te
say, be very object ionnble te any large
portion of It. It is n very different thing
from Mr. Wuttersen'u famous declara
tion in favor of " tariff for revenue,
only." We see no essential difference,
except in form, between tlie creed of Mr.
Carlisle, ns he bus expressed It In the quo
tation we miike,und that of Mr. Randall,
which was embodied in the Democratic
state platforms of Ohie, Virginia, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania last year; upon
which tlie first three were carried, mid
in Pennsylvania the opposition made no
headway with their tariff cry. That
declaration was in favor of taxation
limited te the necessities of government
economically administered ami se nd
justed in its details as te protect and
encourage home industries without
festering monopolies. Mr. Randall and
his friends seem te ask no mere; Mr.
Carlisle, judged from his latest utter
ances, seems te concede no less.
Te be sure, there will be a diversity of
opinion its te the exact rate of duty en
certain articles which will properly pre
tectheme Industries without enceurag
ing monopolies, but that is a matter of
detail te be ascertained by intelligent
consideration, like the precise amount of
the different appropriations. Ne one
would seriously contemplate that a party
platform should deal with such details.
It must proclaim certain principles ; ami
if Mr. Randall and Mr. Carlisle can get
se close tostet her as the concurrence of
the speech we have quoted with the
Pennsylvania platform of 1SS3, there is
no geed reason why that plauk should
net ba the declaration of the national
convention.
Mr. Wattehsen has ugulu broken
out into loud lamentations ever the
prospect that enough Democrats will
net vote for the Morrison bill te pass It,
and he telegraphs his paper that all such
"had better pick up their giipsacks and
go ever te the Republicans, where, en
this question, they properly belong."
Talk is cheap and Mr. Watterson is fend
of it ; but lie does net mean much. He
is a bright and somewhat erratic man ;
but he is net dictator of the Democratic
parly. Even in Kentucky it does net
allow him te boss It ; much les3
In any ether state. Nobody will leave
the party at his bidding; nobody seems
ti be coming into it upon his invitation
He 13 a Bembastes Furioso. He raves
and tears his hair, but the paity has be
come he accustomed te the spectacle
that tee frequent repetition of It is
likely te rxclte diversion, rather than
fear. Mr. Watterson made a taiuT
plank for the last convention; it was a
batch and hurt the party ; he will net be
allowed te de it again ; and he Is much
mere likely le get a bread hint te fake
his own gripsack and go than te expel
hotter men, who were shining lights in
the party when he was a tallow dip and
whose geed judgment burn'? steadily
after his meteoric display shall leave
only a trail of deeper darkness.
In Wilkesbarre there are n irreat
many temperance people who are neither
bigots nor prohibitionists. They believe
that tlie liquor trade can he regulated
by law ; ami they have set en feet a
mevemeut for the enforcement of the
existing liquor laws and the reduction
of the number of licenses heretofore
granted in Luzerne comity. They de
net propose te have the liquor sellers ex
amlned uuler oath a3 te their perform
nnces in the past, nor de tlny ask for
new laws. They simply appe.il te the
court te take up in Itself the respenai
blllty Inipeitd by the law or exercising a
reasonable discretion as te the num
ber of places necessary tr public
entertainment, and they insist that thus"
who enjoy the law'n privilpges ahull abide
by its rcsttictieus. The result of this
experiment will be watched with interest,
as there nre few tewus which de net
Buffer from the tee indiscriminate grant
lug of licences anil the common violation
of them by the licensed. Extreme and
impracticable temperance reformers may
flud that the enforcement of existing
laws is better for their cause than the
notation of new legislation ; respecta
ble and law-abiding landlords will dis
cover that their Interest lies in compel!
lng ethers te pay thosatne regard te the
law as themselves ; and we may yet have
substantial temperance reform sustained
by public sentiment.
Tin: county commissioners are pre
paring te muke a large payment of tlie
county debt In April. This will no doubt
be claimed as a vindication of their
policy of levy Iiir a county tux of three
mills last year. But it is net. On the
ether hand it is proof positive of what
was claimed by this journal at the tirae
that It was an unnocceairlly high rate.
Twe and a half mills county tax en a
properly revised assessment will yield
nmple revenue every year te defray the
expenses of the county and te rimke a
reasonable red tictleit of the debt. Te
collect mm e from tlie people and leave
it in the bauds of the collectors and
favored depositories is a wrong which
public sentiment should be aroused te
properly relink e.
It is difficult te determine wrat con cen con
siderateon: tnllueuced II r. Ulaiue In the
selection of the chapter of his hook
which he lias given te thu publle through
the newspapers, It deals with events of
which he hud no special opportunities te
be familiar, and which he has no partic
ular aptitude te criticise. IIe does net
show much et the historical spirit iu his
statement of facts, nor is he free from
tie faults of the narthau in drawing his
conclusions. His uitrrutive Is net writ-1
ten In graphic style, nor Is it embellished
with picturesque ilhutratien. It the
rest of the book Is as dull, the hundred
thousand subscribers will be cheated.
It is cited in praise of the Democratic
Congress that with It 4 incoming the
lobby lled.and the agents of cerpi rations
and great schemes of jobbery find their
occupation gene. The bills forfeiting
land grants and ether favors, the con
ditlens of which had net been complied
with, were promptly passed and the
extension of the bended whisky period,
which had a very formidable lobby te
back It, is new entirely despaired of. it
has been notable slnce 1871 at Washing
ten that whatever mistakes Democratic
Cengtcifscs might make venality has net
attached te them ; and during Deme
cr.i'ic control the federal legislature is
free from jobbery and corruption.

1 he whole aud sole found itien ler this

When the presi tent prepared his reply te
the audacious demand of the Seuth Care
Una commissioners, he made ue of te me
phraseology which Judge Black, his legal
adviser, theucht might be subject te nits
construction en the part of the fcetvs
sieuists, and he asked that it m'ght
be mediticd as te tho.ie phrases, se
as te clearly express what t.ie p.eb p.eb
ideet and the cabinet i.iteudcl, btcailse
th'ie was net the least ilisagreement be
tween them upon the great vital c institu
tienal questions iuvo!ed. Tne prcsidrnt
banded the draft te Ju Ige III 10k te ba
worded unmistakably. Ttiis is the whde
story, and Judge B'sck n-ver told the
presideut that he would resign or exp'es
sed any threat te hira. J i:dg B'aek was
net a man te threaten, or .Mr. Buchanan
te be threatened, whatever pirlisau
ouemies in iv say of them. L'u.ler i,.ushing
difficulties and emearrashinrnts, suiieund
ed by treason and thwarted by partisan
mal.ce in Congress, the prosldent and his
loyal cibinet were timtidly striving t save
the country from its dead'y per.', and they
had ue bubnant al diflerene's botween
them en any of the great qucs'i ins of tbe
hour.
I have witluu my reaci. a Icter written
by Judge Black te Mr. Buchanan shortly
after the clese of the adtninisirati in, offer-
lig te write the litter's biegraply. It is
se ardeiit in its outspoken ad.cu.nw.i of
his late chiet'ii e urse all through the
trial, aud perns which thy had encoun
tered together, and e oeioauu laterv of
the wisdom and patriotism of his whole
com Hi, that the friends of Mr. Buchanan
weu'd be justified iu disbti.uving ilr.
Blaine's word, ifheslnuld even eay that
the charge had emioated from Judge
Blade himself, and would ba right in
consUeiing it a cruel lihjl up in his mem
ery.
Mr. Blaine has been pleased te spf ak
approvingly of Piesnlt.nt Baehauan'a
