both of Paris and of London are very fond of
dwelling upon the morbid appetite Of Ameri-
can society for dreadful excitement, and upon
the lack of social refinement in the New
World. But really we do not remember to
have heard that even in Philadelphia picnics
were gotten up on the farm where Probst
perpetrated his crimes; and we should quite
despair of ever seeing an American dinner
table adorned with relishes a ld MUDcaster
were it not that the banquet of the Prince of
Wales was attended, as the reporters assure
us, by the American Minister. 1t is not,
however, stated whether he did or did not on
this occasion wear the mourning garments"
in which he had appeared a day or two
before at the debate in the Lords on the muir
der of Lord Muncaster's friends.

MURDER AS A SOCIAL TONIC.

From the N. Y World
The lions of Libya have a bad name for
voracity, but their hunger can by no means
be so unappeasable as that of the lion
hunters of London. Our last social intelli-
gence from the British capital is that the
mobility and gentry" headed by the heir
to the throne, are 'Hionizing" Lord Muncas-
ter, the young nobleman who fell recently in
Greece into the hands of brigands, in COM
pany with the unfortunate travellers whose
brutal murder by their captors has shocked
the civilized world. Lord Muncaster escaped
a similar fate only because he was selected to
act as the negotiator between the brigands
and the friends of their victims; and he was
thus selected at the urgent entreaty of his
fellow-prisoners, and particularly of young
MIR. Frederick Vyner, who gallantly and gem
erously insisted that, for his wife's sake, he
should go.
Now Lord Muncaster, alive and we'll, is an
nounced to be dining with the Prince of
Wales while the corpses of his slaughtered
companions are on their way homewards to
the bereaved friends who wait with aching
hearts to pay them the last sad rites of affec-
ton. Grand dinners are proverLially stupid,
and among grand dinners the dinners of
princes; so that something, we suppose, must
be pardoned to the princely host who seeks
| to relieve the magnificent monotony of his
hospitable board by any sensation what =
soever. But it certainly seems to us a little
difficult to establish any practical distinction
between the London taste which finds zest
in the piquant chat of a gentleman rescued
from horrible death which has just over
taken his friends and companions, and the
Parisian taste which led out companies of
dashing French ladies, both of the whole and
| of the half world, to partake of lively
luncbeons above the CHASTITY pit into which
Troppmann had hHddled the bodies of the
Murdered family of the Kincks. The press

CONSOLIDATION OF INTERNAL REvE.
NUE. DISTRICTS.
From the N. Y. Times.

From the NJ Y Times.
A bill before the Senate embodies two sug-
gestions which have been steadily advocated
in the columns of the Times. One of these
is the proposition to cut down the depart
mental estimate for expenses of internal
revenue administration over million of dol
lars. The other is to provide for the con-
solidation of the assessment and collection
districts wherever necessary.
Properly speaking, one of these provisions
involves the other If several districts are
united under one general head, wherever that
is practicable-and it is practicable in all our
larger cities-the saving of this large amount
of money will follow easily and inevitably.
Indeed, without this consolidation, it will be
difficult, perhaps not possible, for the Com
missioner to carry on the work of revenue
administration with vigor, if his estimates are
SO considerably reduced.
1t may be that the number of subordinate
officials can be yet further reduced, and this
the Commissioner is empowered to do, in his
discretion, without any new enactment. But
no such reduction can be safely made in that
force as will compensate for the amount pro-
posed to be struck out of the estimates. So
that Congress must act specifically in the
matter if this million is to be saved. There
is no project of retrenchment more feasible,
or less disturbing to the interests of the Gov
ernment and people, than this uniting of
revenue districts.
In our own city alone, for instance, there
are fourteen principal, independent heads of
revenue districts-that is, seven Collectors
and as many Assessors-so that, although
taxation has been reduced over a hundred
per cent, and the labor of collection lessened
in an equal degree, we have here still main
tanned the same costly system that was estab-
lished when the law was new, receipts heavy,
the labor great, and the taxpayer to be edu-
Gated to properly meet his obligations. We
public good is concerned, this organization
is no longer necessary. There is no doubt
that two intelligent, Jealous, responsible
men, with little if any larger force of subor-
dinatfs than are employed at present, would
! collect the tax and enforce the laws quite al
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-05-31

closely as that business is now done. Were
this plan put into operation, its effe)t in
New York alone would be to leave in the
pockets of taxpayers a very considerable
portion of the million it is proposed to save
1t is the cost of these higher offices that runs
up the bill.
We trust the phraseology of the bill relat-
ing to consolidation-should it become law
will be made positive and unequivocal
The dispatch referred to makes the Senate
measure read, that consolidation is to be car
ried out "phen necessary" That clause
needs strengthening In a matter of this
nature as little room as possible should be
left open for contingencies. Any change in
the law that will tighten the public burden to
the extent of million of dollars is necessary
if practicable. The only vital question peril
nent to its consideration is, can it be done
and, if it can be, it should be done. That this
is feasible, that it can be carried out, if
enacted, without difficulty, or perceptible
disturbance to even established forms and
methods admits of little honest doubt. There
should, consequently, be no looseness, ambi-
guilty, or indecision in the language of the
statute designed to effect it.
A word on one other point. The compen-
saton of the chief officers of the consolidated
districts should be fixed by express terms of
law. The practice now is to allow collectors,
in addition to small salary, liberal COM
mission upon their total collections. Asses
sors are paid in the same way, but q limit is
set to the amount they can legally receive
annually for their services. No such restric-
ton applies to the compensation of collec-
tors. 1t will be seen, therefore, that, in
order to render consolidation effective as a
measure of economy, the payment of the new
officers should be settled at or up to, some
definite point, otherwise the change would be
simply putting into the pockets of few Off
cals the emoluments which at present are
found to be liberal for a much larger number;
and, however much it might benefit the lucky
occupants of the places created under it, such
change would be of no pecuniary advantage
to the people.

THE LAST WORD OF WINNIPEG.

FROM th9 ~, 4. Sun.
The act of the Dominion Parliament esta-
blishing the province of Manitoba does not
appear to be satisfactory to the people of
Winnipeg. They still insist in addition to
what that act guarantees, that their country
shall be called Assiniboine, and not Manitoba
that before becoming part of the Dominion,
the new province shall receive an amount of
money equal to the share of the public debt
for which as a member of the Dominion it
will become liable; that for five years the
people of the province shall not be sub iect to
any direct taxation but their OWN that the
Legislature of the province shall determine
the qualifications of its own members and of
its representatives in the Dominion Parla-
ment; that the sale of the province by
the Hudsons Bay Company to Canada
be annulled SO for as it affects the
rights of Assiniboine and it's relations to
Canada; that the provincial Legislature
shall control the public lands of the
province and ratify all treaties with the In
dians; that the Dominion shall appoint COM
mission to explore the mineral wealth of the
province and report thereon to the Legisla-
ture; that an uninterrupted communication
shall be completed within five years between
Fort Garry and Lake Superior that all public
buildings, bridges, roads, and other public
works shall be at the cost of the Dominion;
that English and French alike shall be used
In le8lSlatlVe executive, ana JUDICIAL pro-
ceedings; that the Dominion shall pay all
debts contracted by Riels provisional govern
ment in consequence of the illegal and incon-
siderate measures adopted by Canadian
officials to bring civil war upon the terri
tory; and that no member or agent of the
provisional government shall be held respon-
sible for his actions as such.
All this is in addition to the payment every
year by the Dominion Treasury of $50, 900 to
the Legislature of the province with fur
ther payment of eighty cents a head to the
same Legislature for each person of the pro-
vincial population until the same shall have
increased to 100000 souls. That is to say,
if the population is 100000 souls, the Do
minion Treasury will be bound to pay to the
province 100000 year, and so on besides
a specific payment of $S0,000 year ire
spective of the number of the population.
This, it will be remembered is not to cover
the cost of public buildings or public works,
for they are provided for IN a separate stipu-
lation. 1t is simply tribute which the Do
minion is required to furnish in considera-
tion of the benefit of counting Assiniboine
among its members.
The Assiniboinians profess to have private
information that these demands will be COM
piled with by the Dominion Government;
but it is not probable. What is more likely
is that, under cover of the pending truce,
Canadian forces will get safely into their
country, and that after that the Winnipeggers
will have to abandon all idea of debating
terms, and submit patiently to those which
their masters may see fit to impose.
