stigmatize the refusal to submit the ques-

FACTS FOR THE PEoPLE-i nder this
caption, the Detroit Free Press says that
the taxable property of Great Britain is
thirty one thousand millions, and her ma
tional indebtness is four thousand mil
lions. Great Britain raised by taxation
there hundred and forty four millions an
nually. The assessed valuation Of prop
erty in the United States is fourteen thou
sand millons-less than one-half of that
of Great Britain, Our national indebted
ness is three thousand millions, and we
raise by taxation, annually, .fve hundred
and sirty millions Of dollars. On taxable
basis Of less than one-half that of Great
Britain, we raise two hundred millions
more than that Government by taxation
All this vast amount Of taXation-all
these thousands of millions of indebncss
must be paid by the laboring masses o.

wealth The Spectator pays nothing.
He accupulates wealth over and above
his taxes, but he produces none. The
hard listed men who till the soil and WELD
the sledge, must produce and add to the
real value from which the debt is to be
paid.

British Reform Another Tory Triumph.
Our special kilograms Of yesterday an
nounced among other things that the govern
ment Reform bill had been advanced another
stage. Some few nights ago certain amend
ments, including among Others a ledger fran
chise, were proposed by the opposition. On .
division, which took place on the amendments,
the government were left in q very consider
able minority. Mr. Disraeli resolved to NEE
the difnculty by submitting q compromise, the
debate on which came of on Friday evening.
As described by our special telegram the de.
bate was animated and keen and the House
greatly excited. Notwithstanding the attacks
of Gladstone, who seems to have been even
fercer and more slashing than usual, and
the bitter denunciations of Bright, who
spoke of the government measure as the
to the Commons Of England" Disracli
carried his compromise, amid loud and pro-
tracted cheering, by a majority OF sixty-six.
1t was commonly reported that In the event Of
a defeat Lord Derby had resolved to advise
dissolution OF Parliament and to make an APP
peal to the country. Members have special
horror Of dissolution, and IL is not impossible
that this feeling may have contributed to the
strength Of government. Be this a. II may,
Disraeli is step by step leading his party 70
victory, in spite Of the eloquence Of Gladstone,
Of the thunder Of Bright, and the monster de-
monstrations Of the Reform League. The
success Of the London Conference in settling
the Luxemburg difficulty will do much 70 make
the government popular, and we shall not be
surprised II II ssc"re for the tories long lease

There 10 an unusual stir among our yacht
men just at present Ordinarily we hear moth
ing about their arrangements until close on 70
the June regatta. This season we have mot
only the programme in advance, bat the an
nouncement of another great aquatic contest
the ocesn swecpstake-which is TO come OF on
the 18th Of July. This shows on the part Of
the New York Yacht Club determination to
keep up the character for vigor and enterprise
which il gained by the Atlantic yacht race.
lis members are not satisfied to rest upon their
laurels Like Alexander, they are looking about
for new empires to win. Where they win ult-
mately bring up in their daring exploits il
would be difficult to say.
The June Regatta, though q fixed annual
event, viii present some new features Of
interest this year. Hitherto 1t has been .
mare clousum to yachts Of large tonnage, from
the obstacles opposed to their success by
fixed difference in time between them and their
smaller competitors In smooth water tho
smaller yachts, with this advantage in their
favor, were always certain to win. BY an
alteration 10 the sailing regulations Of the Club,
which admits Of q sliding scale in regard 10
time, all the yachts, large and small, arc
placed on terms Of equality. This viii Of
coarse increase greatly the interest Of the con-
test. II was the only thing necessary TO render
our June Regatta IS thoroughly enjoyable 10
yachtmen themselves as TO the general public.
We are glad TO find that II has been deter
mined TO open the grand ocean sweepstake 10
English yachts. We have no doubt that some
of them will be induced to come over and
take part in IL Their presence would give
increased interest to an event which
il already creating considerable excitement.
But it is not merely in view Of this that their
visit would be desirable. We should not be
surprised if IL resulted in race across the
Atlantic between the rival yachts Of the two
countries, which would take them over In time
TO enable them to participate in the Cherbourg
Regatta. II our yachts we're to win the victory
in this great ocean race, as no doubt they
would It would compensate us for the mortiR-
cation Of our failures in the Exhibition.

headed Cane.
Our American caricature Of Fouche, the puffy,
flssy, inflated little officer who wears the star
and the button Of the Metropolitan Police
Superintendent, and wields gold-headed
cane, to the terror Of the little children and
timid old ladies OF the district, has, in the
language Of the prize ring, been sent to grass"
by the force of public opinion and the mys-
terious influence of the HERALD. He has
countermanded his anti-Sunday lathering and
lollipop law, and has washed his hands of the
backslidings Of the Hebrew Sabbath breakers.
The hubbub and turmoil he excited by jumping
upon the back Of the dead-letter Blue laws,
and riding rough-shod through the city, re-
minds Us forcibly Of the fable Of the fy who,
perched upon the horn of the mad bull, cried,
"see what dust we kick up" His fulmina-
tons, however, made q terrible commotion in
the several police precincts, and put the cap
tains and the men at their wits ends. The edict
OF this moment was contradicted by the order
Of the next, and proclamation followed pro-
clamation so closely that the force were at q
loss to know what to do. The two stalwart
patrolmen who are stationed opposite the
HERALD Office, living specimens of Cog and
Magog, and whose ordinary business il
is to hand ladies across the road
from the Astor House to the HERALD
building, we're for twenty-four hours in such a
state Of bewilderment that the ladies were left
to find their way through the labyrinths of cars,
stages, wagons, coaches, trucks, and other
vehicles as best they could. The whistles OF
the confounded constables were unheard; the
drivers abused each other to their hearts con-
tent; the little boys who are experts at
balancing themselves on the back steps Of the
stages and the hind rails Of the coaches en-
joyed their stolen rides unmolested. Every
where the police were petrifed and the arm
OF justice was paralyzed.
We must beg the Police Commissioners to
protect US from q recurrence Of such a hubble
and bubble by getting rid at once Of Ken
nedy and his edicts. and his fuse and his
feathers and his gold-headed cane. He had the
good luck to tumble into the Office he holds
between the squabbles Of the democrats in
New York and the scramble Of the republicans
at Albany. But he is unfit for the position,
both as a very testy and passionate little man,
and as fussy, fretful, overbearing officer
There are plenty Of better men ready for the
place. Captains Leonard, Wilson or specl
would make efficient superintendent, and
either is deserving Of the promotion. Kennedy
should be turned out q. once; for II we are te

In ne great teiegpaphic excitement wbioh
has existed, az the result Of our successful
communication with Europe, we appear 10 have
ignored entirely the fact that half Of the
Western continent is still, in point of time,
almost - FIR removed from US as China and
Japan. II is the old story retold, of our
neglect of al the Spanish American countries.
By this neglect we have allowed foreign in
6uenc4 Of suP very doors. to absorb all the
trade, 10 damage American interests, 10 ham
per the development Of our industry, 10 crush
American enterprise, and to get control over
all the Spanish American States; which control
e already 20 strongly fastened that il has be-
come almost impossible for any American to
compete with foreigner in any Of those coun-
tries. Rapid communication, secure and cheap
mail facilities, and government protection to
steamship interests, have hitherto given the
advantage to France and England in our
friendly and generous commercial rivalry with
those nations. The day, however. is past when
we a. . nation can afford to throw away any
Of the great advantages which our geographic
cal position confers upon US. We must stand
between Spanish America and Europe, as we
now stand between the European and Asiatic
nations. Happy in great central commercial
position, we must not be slow in making il con-
tribute to our prosperity.
To-day South America is the vassal OF the
Old World, while Mexico, bordering our own
country, Is commercially in its hands. Were
we to extend our teiegraphic communication
to the southwark the whole Of Europe would
communicate through us with them, and, in
consequence, we should dominate the position.
A land communication from Brownsville, Texas
down through the heart Of Mexico, and from
there, striking all the commercial ports of the
Pacific coast az far south as Valparaiso. thence
crossing the Cordillera and Pampas to Buenos
Ayres, thence 70 Montevideo and Rio Janeiro,
would place all the great commercial centres
Of Spanish America in immediate connection
with US, and they, instead Of being from thirty
to City days behind the world, would march
fused with new life.
1elegraphic communication among all
those countries would, moreover, have q ten
dency to harmonize and prevent the working
Of the revolutionary elements which for so
many years have held them in a chronic state
Of misery. Mexico especially, where the post
age on . letter is twenty-five cents, silver,
would find telegraph, which would enable
her to live in the world, to be OF immense ad-
vantage, while hundreds Of enterprises which
now lie dormant ON account of the uncertain
and long communication, would spring into
activity.
The line 70 Cuba might be connected with
Panama and thus down the South American
coast by the route indicated. At oil events
our merchants should take quick action upon
this subject, and not forget that the commercial
people which have the most rapid commune
cation with other countries will absorb the
larger part Of the trade with those countries.
