Revenue Frauds.

At various points throughout the coun-
try parties guilty of revenue frauds have
been detected, tried and convicted, and,
like Callcott and Enright, of Brooklyn,
with Anderson, of Richmond, have been
consigned to the Penitentiary. Those whose
sins have found them out already num-
Der nearly score, and the names of others
equally guilty, but as yet undiscovered, are
not unlikely to be legion. The aggregate OF
the revenue frauds is modestly enough 'esti-
mated, even by the radicals, at one hundred
million dollars. But this figure must fall far
below the real amount of the plunderings of
'the ring" The sums already expended in
suborning witnesses or in sending them out of
the country and in attempts to buy up courts
and juries will probably never be accurately
disclosed. This state of things shows the
utter want of system in the Treasury Depart
ment. At this moment there is no authority
in it anywhere. Nothing but a vague dread
of the Penitentiary remains as bar against
still further depredations. The cause of all
this middle is the deadlock between the Presi-
dent and Congress, and the origin of these evils,
which threaten to be prolonged and aggravated,
is the Pandora's box of the Tenure of Office
bill. Hope was left in the bottom of Pandora's
box. Is there no hope of possible remedy
against the consequences of that unlucky bill
THE YOSEMITE VALLEY JOB.-The Yosemite
valley, with its Incompatible collection Of nat
ural curiosities, its towering ''domes," it's
prodigious cataracts, its mammoth tree groves
and its diversified scenery, was coded by
Congress to California in order that its attrac-
tons as a resort for tourists from all parts of
the world might be preserved unimpaired.
But it seems that the California Legislature
has been tempered with by lobbyists in the
interest of certain spectators who propose to
gain few million dollars for themselves at the
expense of mutlating and spelling the Yose-
mite valley, which is to the whole coun-
try what the Park is to New York-a
source of inestimable enjoyment for all who
are susceptible t9 the charms Ct natural beauty
and grandeur. On Monday Mr.. Sumner pre-
scented to the Senate memorial from Profess
sor Agassiz and other professors of Harvard
University, protesting against the ratification
by Congress of the legislation of tie Califor
MIA Legislature in regard to the Yosemite val
ley. The memorial was referred to the Com
mittee on Public Lands, which, we hope, will
report in favor of putting an immediate and
effectual stop to the destructive projects of the
spectators so absurdly favored by the Califor
MIA Legislature.

Proposed Wholesale .Swindling Of Emi-

grants.
So-called emigrant aid societies are swim
dies, and swindles of the most atrocious sort.
Their true object is not to assist the emigrant,
not to facilitate his passage to free land where
he may honestly labor and live, but to wiring
from his toll the wherewithal to enrich rascals--
to mortgage his future and make him indefi-
nitely the slave of those who advance the pit
lance that pays his passage hither Men pro
pose to establish agencies to encourage and
stimulate emigration from European countries
to this country, and they ask the sanction of
the government to their scheme, and ask it to
stamp the guarantee of honesty upon them by
giving their agent the right to call himself an
officer of the government. For what terrible
abuses, robberies, outrages on humanity of the
most sickening and horrible character this
system would Immediately become the cover
all can see who know the history of emgrant
running as it existed in this city some years
since, or who know the history of the coolie
trade, or even of the slave ships, or who can
fancy what must happen when the welfare of
the defenceless and friendless is weighed in
the scale against unfeeling avarice. II Con-
gress shall pass a law lending its name to such
a scheme it will do an act hardly less culpabe
than its destructive reconstruction in the South.
The true way to help emigration is to leave
it alone. There are agents enough already.
Every emigrant that has been here year is an
agent. He comes, is protected from ''agents -
another name for thieves-by the law, gets
employment, thrives, and sends home money
to bring out his brother. This fact is discussed
in every household of the little village that was
his home; and the friends that bid The brother
goodby when he starts have already resolved
to follow In every land of Europe this idea
underlies the common life OF the people and is
the poor mans poetry, that by and by he too
shall be ready to start for the country in which
his former neighbors are so happy. Agents
can only do harm in any attempt to stimulate
this, while the robberies and expressions that
companies would assnredly practice would
spread in story and eventually stay the tide
America would soon be looked upon as a land
of horrors rather than land of promise. Let
Congress attend carefully to this point and not
give up the emigrant to the mercy of the
obbers. Let IL give these fellows authority
everywhere else, power to rob in any Of the
usual ways, but let it, for the sake of humanity
and the interests of the country, insist that they
shall respect the emigrant.

because people have become too nice in their
noses, and they ought to steer clear. If the
odor Of many hogpens poisons the air and
people die 1t is because they are feeble and
not at to live. This is the niger platform in
the war that now RACES in Virginia, and before
the sanitary authorities can kill the hogs they
evidently must first kill the niggers. 1t is
gratifying to see that the niggers have rights,
know what they are, and dare maintain them.
Whether any one else has any rights does not
matter.

The Proposed Ten Per Cent Tax ON the
Interest Of Bonds.

The Committee of Ways and Means yester
day reported bill to tax the interest of
United States bonds ten per cent, in con-
formity with the resolution of the House of
Representatives to that effect. We conclude,
therefore, that the bill will pass that branch Of
the national legislature without difficulty or
delay. 1t is to be hoped the Senate will act
as promptly and wisely in the matter. No
tax could be more just, proper and popular.

by the Americans as belonging to them, so Mr.
Longfellow is claimed by us as one OF the
great writer's of our common English tongue.
He represents among us to-day something
more even than American literature; for he
represents that community of faith and feeling,
of tradition and of language, which makes 1t
impossible that the literature of the one country
should ever be foreign to the other"
Lord Byron once inquired of the wife OF
London manufacturer Of shoeblacking how
her husbands firm managed to praise the
article daily in new verse published In
city journal The lady replied at once,
''Lor' bless you, sir we keeps poet.
If the Boston Bohemians choose to keep
poet it is no reason why good natured old
John Bull should be deceived into the belief
that the people of the United States and Great
Britain. have one identical feeling and interest,
any more than he would be induced to restore
the privilege of the habeas corpus to Ireland
by the recitation of the fine lines of a learned
pundit of Erin, Jimmy Burns, which read:-
Your mother Is a good man.
And SO is your daddy;
It's cOwld frosty mornn',
Come to the Dire, Paddy
Indeed, Mr.. Longfellow was found employed
in the melancholy occupation of hunting up
the grave Of his great-grandfather in Carlisle
churchyard just previous to the Cambridge
college grafton. He did not succeed in his
search, however, as he himself told the people
thus:-"And yet so much strangeness is there
hot 7 10 &bo 90 Hoth
find nowhere any traces of my family or my
name" Now, if Longfellow possessed the real
mems pOetica he would know that poet
nascitur non .ft;: that he is born of Time and
Genius from the beginning, and consequently
has no ancestry according to humanity, worth
looking after.
But Longfellow was in England not as a
poet-for there is no poetry nowadays-but
merely as the versifier of American Bohemian
ism, and in this light the IL. D. affair is
agreeable. We incline to the opinion, however,
that Jefferson Brick" Dickens has had the most
profitable employment. During his late visit
to the United States he had conferred on him
the degree of L. S. d., or master of pounds,
shillings and pence, and was sent home equity
with Delmonico's rich wines, after drawing as
many corks as Barnaby Ridges raven; so that
he had only to recline in his stateroom during
the voyage and keep counting huge piles Of
greenbacks. Can the tough parchment of a
Cambridge LII. D. and cemetery visit at
Carlisle compare with this? By no means.
The American Bohemian account with Eng
land is not squared yet. 1t is nearly as bad
as the Alabama claims case. ,~x~-

EFFECT OF EcLIPsEs UPON GREAT
MASSES OF PEoPLE.-The solar eclipse
of July 8. 1912, excited great interest
throughout Europe, and M. Arago, who
went to Perpignam to observe it, de-
scribes the effect produced upon the
multitude of people who gathered in the
open air to witness it. Only persons who
were seriously unwell remained within
doors, and as soon as the day began to
break the population covered the terraces
and battlements Of the town, as well as
all the little eminences in the vicinity.
in hopes ofobtaining a view of the sun
as he assembled above the horizon. Near
nj. Arago's point of observation more
than twenty thousand persons, with smok-
ed glasses in their hands, were examin-
ing the great orb. Although using pow
erful telescopes, himself and friends. as
the eclipse began, had hardly begun to
discern the small notch on the western
limb of the sun, when an immense ex-
clamation, formed by the blending to-
gether of twenty thousand voices, an
nounced that they had anticipated only
by few seconds the observations made
with the unaided eye by the twenty thou
sand astronomers whose first essay this
was. When the sun, reduced to n very
narrow flament, began to throw unon
the horizon only very feeble light a
sort Of uneasiness seized upon all; every
person felt desire to communicate his
impressions to those around him. Hence
arose deep murmur, resembling that
sent forth by the distant ocean after a
tempest. The hum of voices increased
in intensity as the crescent grew more
slender; as the crescent disappeared,
darkness suddenly succeeded light, and
absolute silence ensued- The magnifi-
cent phenomenon had triumphed over
human demonstratiyeness. After an in
terval of solemn expectation, which last
ed about two minutes, transports of ioy.
shouts of enthusiastic applause, saluted
the hrst temperance of the rays of the
sun. To a condition of mechanically
there succeeded a lively and intellipible
feeling of satisfaction.

Does he Drink ?

When riding in Central Park, New
York, not long ago, two gentlemen were
thrown from carriage, and one ofthem
distinguished politician instantly
killed. A sensible and sympathizing
lady, on hearing of the unfortunate
event, instantly inquired, Had they
been drinking2" Yea, verify. They
had been dining and wining." They
were imprudent enough to attempt, when
in state of partial inebriation, to drive
a span of spirited horses? The wonder is
that both horses and men had not been
killed.
DOES HE DRINK" Then, no matter
what accident happens, nobody is sur
prised. He was expected to come to a
bad end. ACCIDENTS are, nine times in
ten, the results of drink. The man was
tired, or sleepy,-he took glass, and
was run over by railway train; or he
lost his money, his hat, his coat, his boots
or his life.
He was a promising boy, like his
father, he took to drink, and was ruined"
He graduated at the head of his class,
was an excellent scholar, but, in an evil
hour, gave way to his appetite and is
now public pauper.
He was an only son; all the hopes of
his fond parents were centered on him
but he became drunkard, and is lost

Charlie was handsome fellow,-pop-
ular with all the lads and lasses; but
ah, that fatal "but '-DRINK sent him to

of his bereaved parents with unutterable

impenitent folly and sin.

must inevitably happen to all who drink
alchoholic stimulants. Misfortunes will
surely and swiftly follow in the track Of
dissipation. Calamity awaits the trans
gressor. "God is not Knocked" Little

weeds, and if not checked in time will

Ships are lost at sea steamboats, are
blown up, or collide on river and lake;
horses are killed or crippled carriages
smashed: railway trains thrown off the
track; public buildings and private
dwellings are burned, and the lives of
thousands are sacrificed or jeopardized.
Why? By what ? Because men give way
to perverted appetite and indulge in
that which is an enemy, and only an en-
envy to their bodies and souls. Young
man, do you drink ?
