IreIend,s Hour Not Yet Come.

WE have no idea that the Fenian revolt IN
Ireland can he successful. The odds against the
revolutionists are too great. The Government
possesses an abundance of means for the sup
preston of rebellion, andis thoroughly aroused
The Fenians on the other hand, 1t is apparent,
are poorly organized, and are unable to act
with that promptness and concentration OF
effort which are necessary to success. So far,
therefore, as accomplishing any great results
at the present time are concerned, the move
ment must end in failure.
In a more comprehensive view this ire
pressible Fenan trouble is of importance.
When we consider the widespread dissatisfac-
ton that prevails throughout Great Britain
on the part of the masses, on account of their
political disfranchisement; when we behold
the distress of her laboring classes when we
read tho ominous speeches of Mr.. Bright,
pointing ~ the final remedy of revolution,
unless 'hr Government shall enter upon a
course -, .riorm that is utterly hated by the
aristoc,ayy, we can well understand how the
Eenian NOV, ment may yet become one of vast
moment. As part of general uprising to
overthrow tite present corrupt and oppressive
Government of Great Britain, the revolt of the
Irish would become an element of great in
Auencc. Put down for the present the
Fenians probably will be, but their suppress
sion vii do nothing towards removing those
radical ard deep-seated causes which give the
rnoyeu,, Mt vitality that prison doors and
scaLuu., cannot extinguish. The hatred of
Rnglish oppression will remain. The love Of
Irish liberty will grow more bright And in
some hour of Englands extremity, possibly
not Tar distant, the Fenians may strike blow
for illu, .endence that there shall be no power
. to re- 1,

MIssoURI.-We are glad to see that the
State of Missouri has taken steps for the
restoration of her credit, by providing for the
immediate payment of the accumulated inte-
rest upon her bonds. The natural resources
of that State are unexcelled by those of any
State in the Union, and there is no good rea-
son why her credit should not be as high as
that of Pennsylvania or New York. A vast
tide of immigration is flowing into Missouri,
and her surprising mineral resources are
beginning to be developed. In a very few
years she will rank i'll population and re-
sources among the foremost States of the Re-
public.

dependence when placed on the retired list,
and the same process applies to the bank
officers as to those in the service.
This plan having been tried in England and
found to work admirably, and all other plans
having failed here, we earnestly commend to
the directors of the National Banks the idea
of providing for the old age of their officials.
The expense will not be great, and even if it
should be twice as much as it is, how much
cheaper it would be to remove the temptation
to perpetrate fraud, by means of such induce
ments as the one we ropose. 1t is an act of
justice and also of sound policy, and as both
we commend it. When it becomes general
we shall cease to hear daily of defaulting
officers; for we are convinced that mos of the
dishonesty is due to a desire to provide for a
winter of want when age incapaeitates these
men from active struggles for the means of
support

The New LAW FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF
DISTILLED SPIRTs.-The Internal Revenue law,
so far as it relates to distilled spirits, was
much modified by the late Congress- It's pro-
visions are rendered much more stringent
The power of the revenue officers in making
seizures and suppressing fraud is greatly in
creased. The distillery inspectorship, which
proved such a wide-open door for the grossest
corruption, has been abolished. Honest dis
tillers, if there are any such, will be better
protected in their business, and the rascals
will have to be sharper than ever in their
frauds to escape detection.
1t is for the interest of the whole commu-
nifty that the liquor business should pay its
legal proportion of taxes into the treasury.
What the fraudulent distiller chisels the Gov
ernment out of, is necessarily so much added
to the taxes of the honest portion of the COM
munity. Last year the distillers cheated the
Government out of one hundred millions of
dollars. 1t is to be hoped that they will not
succeed in doing it again this year.
