$50 the newspaper publications of the United
Estates laws and treaties will be continued" Is
the announcement of the result of the Senate
debate yesterday on the proposition to dispense
with that style of advertising. 1t was an
economy we had hoped to see adopted, for
there is no more warton waste of the public
money than the publication of the laws in the
papers of small circulation which are content
TO take advertisements at Government rates.
1t was subsequently decided that only the
more important laws and treaties should
be published, in papers selected by
the Secretary of State. This does
not mend the matter at all. 1t is only clever
way the Senate has of appearing at once eco
nomical to the public and generous to the
papers. If economy should result from 1t
through the indeffondenee and faithfulness OF
any Secretary of State, and certain editors
be thereby offended the responsibility Will not
lie with the Senate, and doubtless that is just
what the Senate intended.

are two answers to this doctrine. First, inn
port duties may be at the expense of the pro-
ducer; they must be 80 to the extent that
well-fostered home industry cOmpetes with
foreign goods in our market. Second, if the
charge so much enhanced the price to the con-
sumer, he is by his protected labor enabled
easily and proftably to meet the cost
But what, in the name of all the FreeTrade
authorities. can be said in defense of taxes laid
directly and plumply upon Coffee, Spices,
and other foreign goods which we cannot pro-
dnce. and whose price in our markets we have
no power to reduce by competing commodities
of our ownf We should be neither surprised
nor distressed if Congress accepts the bill
offered on Monday, with Pig and Scrap Iron
struck out. The principles of Protection require
tho admission of all foreign goods free of
duty which do not displace home production.
Nothing but the exigencies of the revenue,
produced by war or its resulting national debt,
can Justify q Protectionist in taxing tropical
products imported for consumption in temper
ate climate. The feeling is simply anti-Amerl-
can. 1t has the unwisdOm or wickedness OF
rebellion against the country's welfare in it.
1t is neither republican, democratic, nor even
aristOcratic All these sentiments alike repudl-
ate it. 1t is only and merely anti-American.
Protection looks to Free Trade as its aim and
end. 1t pursues this object by first making
home trade, through home industry, free; and,
securing this point, it moves forward as fast
and as far toward universal Free Trade as minis
ters to, and cOmpOrts with, the well-being OF
home. 1t was the heavily protective Tariff OF
1923 that in 1882 gave us our first free Coffee,
and a hundred other commodities, especially
of the tropics, which our own soil cannot
yield; and we never shall have these goods
free again till the Protective system sets them
free

THE PRESIDENT AND THE FENIANS.

THE PRESIDENT And THE FENIANS.
The Neutrality laws give authority to the
President of the United States to call upon
the land and naval forces, if he sees fit, in
order to prevent the departure of hostile ex-
peditiOns fitted out within our territory against
a nation with which we are at peace. We say
the laws give authority to the President to do
this, but they do not impose it upon him as
duty. The most enthusiastic friends of the
Fenans must rejoice, however, that he has
chosen to interfere in the present instance.
Whatever hope the sanguiDe may have enter
tanned of the conquest of Ireland by way OF
Vermont of the ability of the Fenians to cap
ture Canada, to hold it if captured, or to make
any use of it if they held it, has been dissi-
pated by the burlesque battle of Franklin. An
army moving two or three hundred miles to
the field of battle, and then dispensing at the
appearance of an officer of the law, as
parcel of truant boys might run
away from policeman fre-eating general
swearing when he crossed the Canadian Rubi
con that he never would come back except
as a conqueror or corpse, and then being
hustled off the CORY field by a couple of
trumpery marshals and driven to Jail through
tacles to blast the expectations of even the
most credulous of the children of Erin. When
the commander was thus shamefully carried
out the back door, the troops went away to
vail their faces, and the battle vanished like a
collapsed bubble. The enormous absurdity,
however, of the whole transaction must not
blind us to its more serious aspects. Even a
Fenian war is an awful evil. 1t means untold
suffering and loss not only for the soldiers on
both sides, but for the innocent inhabitants of
the frontier whose lives are periled, and
whose property is swept away by these sense
less raids.
The President, therefore, is morally if no,
legally bound to stop such expeditions- first
for the sake of the Fenian rank and flle ther
selves, who are wasting life and rdoney IN nre
posterous undertakings, and, secondly, for III,
sake of the country people, who are really tn,
chief sufferers by can.paign such as that now
menacing the frontier. Common sense, how
ever, seems to suggest that the arrests cannot
be made too soon. Hundreds of recruits leave
the cities for the Fenian army every day
and - would be kinder TO arrest then
at the start than to wait till the fight.
ing has actually begun. Their movements

If they are permitted TO Concentrate we NAV
find it impossible to stop them, but any of the
detachments which are now separately march
ing upon the Dominion could be faced about
and sent home by company from Governors
Island and platoon of police. But for the
singular accident of Gen. O'Neils being such
very limp person, Marshal Fosters coup de
theatre on Wednesday would hardly have sue
ceeded. There was no good reason why the
General should let himself he arrested unless
he wanted to, and there was no reason why
the army should go to pieces as soon as it lost
him, precious as the presence of so sagacious
and plucky a commander must have been. 1t

Out of the refuse of the streets which Con-
tractor Brown has left to simmer beneath the
Summer sun has sprung a grain Of conscience
to agitate the official heart. We should be
happy to learn that the Commissioners who
supervise his doings have at last discovered
what everybody else has long known, and
ceased to certify that work neglected has not
only been done but properly done. We are
forced, however, to admit that only the Board
of Police has been moved to action in the
matter But, if the order now given is fully
obeyed, Browns ways in the future will be
likely to be more seemly. He is to be watched
and weekly reports of his neglects are to be
made We are little curious to see whether
the Tammany Street-Cleaning Commissioners
will go on paying him his money with these
proofs before them that he has not earned it.

We have no doubt, as Mr.. Lynch yesterday
charged that the Clyde shipbuilders have had
hand in opposing the adoption of the bill 10
revive American Navigation and Commerce.
But there is no need that Western members
generally, whose opposition on other and more
honest grounds is clearly understood, should
Indignantly repel the charge as false and
"insulting." Mr.. Lynch did not refer to them,
and the public cOmprehends clearly enough
that they were not meant. The public
also understand who were meant Everybody
knows that the Western opposition is on strictly
sectional grounds. The interior does MT want
to be taxed, directly or indirectly, for the BEN
eft, near or remote, of the sea-cOast. AS the
interest to be revived is a national one, such
sectional opposition does not appear the most
statesmanlike, but there is little doubt of its
honesty. Clyde shipbuilders know well enough
that there was no need to employ mOney-if
money could be employed-in that quarter
Western opposition was already assured with
out cost.
1t is not clear that the bill is dead, al
though Mr.. Lynch yesterday proposed to lay it
aside. The House refused to lay it on the
table by vote of 1O5 Yeas to 81 Nays, and it
again comes up to-day, doubtless for final dis
nnsitiOn

When Gov. Hoffman signed the Erie Direc

When Gov. Hoffman signed the Erie Direc-
tory bill he signed his own resignation to
claim upon the confidence of honest men.
There were still, perhaps, lawyers who I'M
agined that he meant to enforce hon
estly and in the spirit of the
act the provision by means of which
it was possible to bring Judges from other
parts of the State to NewYork to sit in the
General Term for the review of cases of ap-
peal from our Ring Judiciary. Even these must
now be undeceved The Governor puts in
a pitiful plea of inability to make an ar
rangement mutually satisfactory to the Judges
and himself. He has succeeded in max
ing one perfectly unsatisfactory to the
public, whom it was his business to serve
and satisfy. He had an opportunity to
do something toward purifying the corrupt
Judiciary of the City Of New-York; some
thing toward giving chance for justice
or appeal in cases where it was
fagrantly denied at the original trial.
He has refused the opportunity. 1t will not
change the estimate of his character enter

it a little palmer to those who have hitherto

position.

The seat of war on the Canadian border is
transferred from the scene of inglorious fail
ure at Franklin to the west side of Lake
Champlain. The forces of Gen. O'Neil have
been scattered in every direction, and now
beg their way homeward. Their arms, sold to
the country people, have been seized and gath
cred up by the Government troops, of whom
two companies preserve the peace on
the border at Franklin. Further west,
Gen. Gleason, with 1000 men, is four
miles across the border at Trout River
a short distance northeast of Malone, and
has intrenched his position to await, instead
of moving forward in search of, an enemy.
What is to be the result of this inactiOn is
not difficult to imagine. The failure of
Gleason may not prove as absurd as that of
O'Neil, but it seems certain to be as complete.
ReGnforcements hurry forward to Malone only
to augment the inevitable disaster-not to
prevent it. 1t was evidently the design of
Gen. O'Neil to seize the two railroads to
Montreal. What the plan now is cannot be
conjectured from the reported movements.

that women naturally seek TO govern men

that women wish to govern their own sex, now

SO far az the kisses are concerned, it is evident
that the worth of all endearments must depend
mainly on what they represent. The Duke OF
Buckingham said that kisses were like grains
of gold and silver found on the grOund-ot
little value in themselves, but precious as show

but of improved sincerity, when certain eminent
ladies, who met in Anniversary Week on that
neutral ground in the Holy City of Brooklyn
sat side by side on the platform for whole
eyeping without speaking. If there were no
blows, it is something that there were no MS,
leading kisses. 1t gave at least an aspect VI
dignity and sincerity to their position. At any
rate it was well adapted to propItlate the
merely masculine mind, which is apt to err on
the side of frankness, and wherever 1t sees
head to hit it; and to be indignant, like MI.
Pickwick, when the counsel for the prosecu-
ton remarks to the counsel for the defense
that it is a very fine morning.

The change that has been made in the con-
troll of the detectives attached to the Central
Police Office is strikngly illustrated in the case
of Herman Wurdmann, who is supposed to
have been murdered by his shipmate when on
the Jersey coast. Prompttude, energy, and
skill were displayed, where the only reward
which awaited the officials was sense OF duty
fulfilled. The incident was so unlikely to Oc-
cur under the former practice that we are
justified in believing that the detective reform
which we lately demanded has been at least
partially accomplished.
1t vet remains, however, for superintendent
,Jourdan to 90 further in order that the public
NAV fare still better. He is so thoroughly
familiar with police affairs and the
routine of police duty that he cannot
be ignorant of the fact that the ward
detectives are too generally used for the adj
vancement of personal interests at the cost OF
the morality and discipline of the force. lie
must be aware, also, that the detective func-
ton is too important in itself. and too liable
to be perverted to improper uses to be dlt1used
among thirty police captains and we are,
therefore, surprised that he hesitates to abol-
ish the ward detective system. If the work OF
preventing and Furnishing crime is to be hon
estly done, its supervision must be vested IN
a single person who can be held accountable
for all derelictions; and the Superintendent
of Police is manifestly the official upon whom
this responsibility should be imposed.

It seems English editors are as ignorant of
our internal Improvements as of our geography
They have conceived the solemn, not to say
startling notion, that all our railroads are man
aged like the Erie, and that there are Fisks
and Goulds who "retain Judges OF the
Supreme Court" and carry municipal
authorities in their breeches pockets,
in every railroad directory. Falling into the
error of The London Times, The Pail Mall Ga
sette speaks of the Northern Pacific Railroad as
starting from the head waters of Lake Supe-
rior, "and terminating at Puget's Sound
and Portland, Oregon-localities which
" inquisitive investors will have some
difficulty in discovering on ordinary maps"
Evidently, if we are to study English
maps; but if the editor Will consult the

and that it has popularity. observable in
