John Hammond, secretary of the Petersburg school board, has finished taking the enumeration of children school age. The enumer jijion shows g total of 5(88; white, males 274, females 276; colored, males 4.1, females 7. There is a falling off pf fweuty from last year. The cjcmocrata of the state should ^eel jubilant over the returns from the town elections- held last Mondav. The democrats made heavy gains at nearly ever poiut and in m&ny tow us elected officers, which have heretofore elected republicans. Even in Petersburg the large majority was reduced more than half on some oi the offices. Trustee Fred Smith of Washington township, informs us that the enumeration of voters and school children has jnst been finished by him. There are 670 children of school age in the township, a decrease of four from last year. There are 988 voters in the township as against 830 in 1889; an increase of 158. There are 510 voters in town and 478 in the towhship outaide the corporate limits.

TARIFF PROSPECTS. JKffti THE FIFTY-FOURTH CONGRESS attempt A REVISION? to K© Bony to Rmlatai Their Pipoeo -WU1 Piotehly Dod«e the Tariff ©Ml But the Itago Tomtom. S©ter bet Ken Cowardly Oonmo. - * ‘ •' % On© reason why the Republicans in Washington have shaped their course so as to avoid the neoessitj for an extra session is because they are in no hurry to grapple with the tariff question again. There was brave tmt for a time of forcing an extra session and cramming is McKinley tariff down the throat of the administration1 under a virtual threat to shut off supplies, but that soondied out- The Republican leaders wisely ooncluded that bulldoaing taotics would not be popular, and that if it ahould be attempted the people would serve them in 1896 as they served the Democrats in 1894. And now it is intimated that they will not be quits ready to tackle the tariff even in Deoember. “There seems to be a general agreement, ” says a Washington correspondent, “that a comprehensive revision of the tariff will not be attempted next winter. ” And there are reaimns for an agreement of that kind. If the Republicans formulate a law on McKinley lines, they will probably run np against public opinion

with fatal violenoe, and if they will formulate one on other lines they will give mortal offense to the tariff beneficiaries from whom most of the Republican campaign fat is extracted. Take the woolen sohednle for illustration. If they put duties on wool, they will have to put higher duties on woolen goods throughout the list If they stop short of McKinley rates, the woolgrowers or the manufacturers, or both, will be disgruntled, to the great hurt of the oampaign fund. But if they put back the MoKinley rates publio indignation will overwhelm them. And so of all other schedules. A comprehensive bill, showing item by item just what the Republicans would if they could, and this just before a presidential election, would be as dangerous to them as the revision of 1894 was to the Democrats. If the Republicans do not make a comprehensive revision, what will they do? After sneering at popgun bills will they pass popgun bills of their own? Aside from the matter of consistency, whioh may not trouble them much, there is the danger that if they take oare of one interest or two or three all the others will be offended. There will not be that "hang together” whioh Mr. Blaine declared was necessary if the protected interests were to avoid hanging separately. ‘ And besides the more experience the people have with a comparatively low tariff the better they will like it The ohanoes are that by the time they oome to vote for presidential electors in 1896 they will want a lower tariff, not a higher one. They will not flook to the standard of a party which promises them dourer lumber, dearer salt, dearer iron, dearer clothing. No wonder the Republican brethren are in no hurry to proclaim from the housetops what they propose to do with the tariff. No wonder they talk about setting up the plea that there is no use in formulating a tariff next winter because the president would veto any tariff bill they might pass. From their point of view it may be better politics to find fault with the Democratic tariff and abstain from framing one of their own until after the next presidential election. It may be the safer course, but it will not be brave, and the people sometimes say when they go to the polls that t£ey hate political cowardice. On the whole, the prospect seems to be that the Republican politicians will dodge the tariff and beat the jingo tom* tom with might and main until after election day in November, 1896.—Chicago Herald.

Miners and the Thrift Tbe soft coal miners have been so repeatedly informed that a foreign market would shut up the mines and destroy fhe trade that they will hardly be convinced of anything to the oontrary, and yet here is a government report covering last year which states that 8,686,841 tons of ooal weye shipped to foreign oountries, while 1,344,830 tons were reoeived here. The Canadian provinces fclone took 3,866,386 tons of this amount. The miners are nof likely either to inquire why a tariff on coal is necessary to protect their wages even in the face of a fact like that, bat the truth remains that their present wages are soaroely one-half the tariff rate of 75 oents a ton.—Philadelphia Times. 1 I; ’ Joins In the Sentiment.

Populists and Republicans Hooted at War tional Credit. Striotly speaking, the Fifty-third oongress was not Democratic;—at least not in its concluding session. It was largely Populist, largely Republican, largely Democratic. The Republicans had a plurality. The Democrats had oertainly no majority. A single test of party doctrine demonstrates thia Ninety-four years ago Thomas'Jefferson in his inaugural address enunciated these principles, whioh have been ever since and everywhere sanctioned and aocepted by Democrats: 1 'Economy in the public expenditures, | that labor maybe lightly hardened; the honest payment of our debts and sacred. preservation of the publio faith.’* These doctrines of the founder were trampled under the feet of the oongress that has just come to an end. The veritable Democrats of the honse and senate respected thepi and defended them. The Populist rabble, aided by a large part of the Republicans, rioted in extrayhganoe and hooted at the public faith and the national credit The dishonest way of' paying debts is the way that suits them. Democratic weakness and Democratic misdoing there undoubtedly were. Bat the infamies of the session were due to senators and members who have either sloughed off into Populism or have set up as freebooters on individual acoount —New York Times.
