HtRD TO PLEASE.

For months, a concerted clamor for rcduc-
ton of Federal taxes has been mantained py
those whose object is simply the overthrow OF
Protection to Home Industry. The grooming
and suffering of the country, under the burden
of taxes on the nccessaries Of life. has been
Denoted in terms fit to draw tears from an
oyster. The Committee of Ways and Means,

of twenty per cent. of the present duties on

Senator Sumner in speech by some re-
garded as among the best of his career as a
statesman. has assaicd the Dominican treaty,
and the probabilities are that it will not re-
ceive the requisite two-thirds of the Senate
in ratification. 1t is also asserted that the
House will refuse an appropriation, even
should the treaty be ratified, and thus once
again the way of the treaty makers is hard.
The offer of the actual Government of San
Domingo to procure the annexation of that re-
public was one which no Administration OF
ours could quite refuse to entertain. President
Grant has acted in earnest good faith, we doubt
not, in urging the treaty upon the Senate. We
have yet to judge the strength and variety OF
the reasons which his Senatorial friends have
TO give us in commentator of the treaty.

worth denies it, and in the excitement which
now prevails at Albany it is TO be feared that
the Investigating Committee will bring in some
whitewashing or ambiguous report, and the
charge be ultimately forgotten.
This will not do. Mr.. Fields owes IL to him.
self to see that fight through. The belief Of
the public in the existence of leagued and
confcderated corruption in both Houses ia "a
wide and universal as the air. Are there no
honest men in either House with pluck enough
to drag the villains to light and expose them
to the scOrn and detesiation of mankind
The blind terror and screaming resentment
awakened in all quarters by Mr.. Fields's reys-
laton seem rather ominOus Which is worthy
the wrath of the Senate-the huckster who
offers his vote to sale, or the member who
exposes the corruption In this case all tho
rage fell on Fields. A spy IN den Of robbers
could not have been set upon more furiously
If he has made false charge he ought to be
expelled. If the charge be true, Mr.. Answorth
ought to be sent back to Saratoga, with as
many of his supporters and CONDUCTORS as can
be uncarthcd. A course of the waters there

their names if Fields has energy and courage
enough to make good his arraignmcnt.

We owe nearly One Thousand Millions In
Europe and our bonds bear six per cent in
terest. A large portion of them we have
right to redeem; and these Mr.. Boutwell, is
naturally anxious to fund at a lower rate OF
interest, thereby reducing the annual burden
of the Debt To this end, he wants power to
seek ont new purchasers, and to pay the in
terest in Europe where he can fund at lower
rate of interest by doing so. HereupOn jour
nal sees fit to say:
IL does appear to us that such proposal impless
very imperfect appreciation Of the credit Of the United
States Government, and very deTogaory estimate OF
ts dignity. After having gone triunphanty through
the without asking for dollar from foreigners,
seems strange, indeed that should now open shopi
Europe to peddle out bonds. Such proposal brings
tho blush Of shame the cheek OF every citizen who
properly respects the dignity and the independence Of
the Government 1t is wantOD stab at the credit OF the
nation by the hands Of those especially desgnatedw
sustain It,"
Is the above rank nonsense or are we
insane } Can you imagine any one talking thus
who really wants the Debt funded at lower
rate OF interest than we are now paying

The President OF the Board of Supervisors
Mr.. Walter Roche, the fortunate proprietor of
two liquor saloons, has met with slight dis
aster in the Board of Assistant Aldermen. Some
time ago we stated that Mr.. Roche was offer
ing the upper part of his saloon IN Centre-st
for District Court purposes, at the modest rent
of $500 year. the lease to be for not less
than ten years. Looking into the official re-
ports, we find that the same property is now
leased for the same purpose for S2,SOO year;
but the owner or lessor when that bargain was
made was not q Democratic Supervisor. Per
haps Mr. Roche remembered that Fernando
Wood has Il lease running until 1876, whereby
he gets $4,000 y year for part of his Mas
sau-st building. and thought an increase of
200 per cent a small tribe for the ricliety old
cholera hospital. We presume the failure of
the Assistants, however TO confirm this out
rageous lease, was owing more to ill-feelng
about the Albany disaster than to any squcam-
ishncss rs to paying Guadruple rent.

In dealing with the case of the steamer AS
pinwall Secretary Fish manifests spirit from
which we hope much. 1t is not the business OF
our State Department merely to watch scene
Of murder afar of, and pick up dead Ameri-
cans when the contest is over Undoubtedly
something must be done to prevent or punish,
if need be, the insults, and we fear mortal in
suits, which continued impunity encourages the
Spaniards in Cuba to commit against our flag.
In this instance the Secretary shows that he
cOmprehends the duplcity and weakness of the
Spanish policy of postponement If there be a
game of bluff in the Cuban affair, by all means
let two play at it.

The LoreH Courier in excnsing itself Cor tho

falsely reported at Queenstown. throws some
light upon what we might call the COmprachi.

of Boston and mentioning the incidents Of the
voyage The editor now cOnfesscs that the
dispatch did not come from Queenstown but
from the agent of a so-called American Press
Association at Boston, and the Boston man did
not get 1t from Queenstown either, but from New
York. Now we see how this new Press agency
which affects to undervalue the reports OF
the Associated Press, supports itself The As

The Hon. William NJ Tweed, Senator, Super
visor and late Deputy Street Commissioner,
did not resign the lastnamed office. MIR.
Tweed is not one of the reSignlng
kind. He waited to be kicked out-kicked
out by Mr.. Washington McLean-which
is much like saying that Gen. Dent had
dismissed Mr.. Grant from the Presidency, or
that the Doorkecper of the House had re-
manded honorable members to their cOnstltu-
ents. But Mr.. Tweed neither resigned nor
displayed resignation. In fact he is already
belligerent. Yesterday he occupied himself
sending messages TO his friends in this city, to
the effect that he had put on his war
paint, and was ready for the war
path. The fact seems to have I'M
pressed itself upon the minds of the late
Rebels, for early this morning after painful
hours of deliberation they begged the warrior
Sachcin to enter their caucus and resume his
throne.

Having done something to purge itself Of
corruption 10y its action on the Cadetship ques-
ton, the House has now taken q step that may
prove dangerous to some of the panderers Of
the lobby. A resolution was adopted yester-
day directing the Speaker to exclude from all
parts of the House any person who may corrupt,
or attempt to corrupt. any Member of Congress,
directly or indirectly. Grateful as we are for
every sort Of movement in the direction of
legislative decency, we cannot treat even this
resolution with anything less than approval.
1t is to be hoped that the Speaker will before
long exercise the power which he now possesses
for clearing out some Of the more notorious
and brazen- faced of the lobby cOrruptionsts Of
both sexes He doubtless knows some of these
persons of whose character and work there is
not the slightest doubt. If he does not, let
him call upon members for information. We
would also advise members to tell the Speaker
voluntarily whenever any one tries to tampcr
with their honor, either directly or indirectly.
In this way, some of the worst Of the foul
spirits may be driven away, land deprived OF
their opportunity of temptation on the floor, az
well as in the galleries, the clOakrooms. and
"committee-rO0ms" At all events, let us soon
see some result from this resolution.

AS all that we know of the Irish Force bill
is the brief sketch of it by Cable, we cannot
fully judge of the measure, which, as NJ Louis
Blanc argues, places Ireland in state OF siege.
Nevertheless, we think it well to recall several
facts necessary to an understanding of the Irish
question, and in advance of further illumination
from abroad. The bill for tie enforcement OF
the laws passed the Commons by an over
whelming majority, only thirteen members
being reported in the opposition. Where were
the Irish Commoners The Land bill was car
ried to its second reading by a similar major
ity, and with the expressed good Will OF The
O'Donoghue and Mr.. Geo. Henry Moore the
two most representative men of Ireland. These
men could have mustered more than thirteen
votes to oppose the Force bill if there vas
reason to doubt the honesty OF Mr.. Gladstone
Now, having demonstrated how much he can
do for force by way of legislation, let LIN
also show the world how well lac can hsislate
for Justice.
