WHISKY TROUBLES.

It has for years been currently rumored that
the collection of Internal Revenue, and espe-
cially of the income from Whisky, in our
XXXIId (down-town) district, was formerly
quite loose, and that the Treasury lost good
deal of money which Collector Shocks subor-
dnates and the Whisky men divided among
themselves on clay" mutually satisfactory.
The nomination of Mr.. j. F. Bailey as Mr..
Shocks successor was not desired by Mi.
Shook and his friends, and his confirmation
was strenuousy opposed by many if not all of
them.
Mr.. Bailey, since he took charge of the
Office is understood to have devoted his time
and energies to reviewing and scrutinizing the
Whisky dOings of the Andy Johnson regime,
and it is presumed that his scrutiny has not
been unfrutful We do not PREJUDICE the
questions on which courts and juries must
decide, after a full presentation OF evidence
on both sides but it is known that the books of
several of the great Liquor houses in the list
Ward were recently taken by the Collector, under
legal process, and that a searching investigation
of their transactions in several past years was
thereupon inaugurated, which has already led
to the seizure of much Whisky and Rum, not
only here but in several remote districts ac-
companied by proceedings against the present
or former owners thereof, and also against
sundry of Mr.. Shocks subordinates. 1t is re-
ported that the post of Gauger under MIR.
Shook was exceedingly lucrative, though the
money made in it had to be shared with other
officials. We have heard $4,000 to 100000
per annum named as the official and extra
official emoluments of some of them, who there
by found themselves in position to buy real
estate largely which was a novel experience.
All these stories will in due time be sifted in
open Court, and we may learn that they have
been distorted or greatly exaggerated. Moth
ing can be certain till after the sun las shone
on both sides of it. But there is a good deal of
fluttering among the pigeons who have been shot
at and some of them have fastened to Washing
ton to intrigue for Mr.. Bailey's removal. That is
a waste of time and effort The Government
will naturally insist on seeing the bottom of
the business before dispensing with the ener-
getic Collectors services, even if it should ever
think of calling another to offlciate in his stead

THE OPENING OF PARLIAMENT

The Parliament Of England has formally
opened with the speech from the Queen, this
time delivered by proxy. 1t contains, as
usual, the want of those special characteristics
of tone common to such state papers; but as
announcing the best programme of legislative
policy which has been offered to England for
many day, it is important. Her revenues and
finances are, Of course, prosperous, and
her views Of the world at large are
encouraging. She suggests continuation
of the inquiry into the mode of con-
Quoting Parliamentary elections, and will intro
duce bills for Naturalization and Land Reform
in Ireland, while recommending "such legsla-
" ton on tie subject of religious tests as will
" increase the usefulness" of the two great
English Universities. Finally, she remarks the
painful effect of the recent agrarian outrages
in Ireland. against which her Government is
prepared to adopt stronger provisions than those
of the ordinary law if necessary. The body OF
the Queens speech refers to Ireland, and we
may add that the Parliamentary address is
taken up with the same vital and engrossing
theme.
The most obvious criticism on the Queens
speech was contained in the objections of the
Lord Chancellor that it made no allusion to
the affairs of the Colonies-Brtish Columbia,
Winnipeg, w-Zealand, and the rest-or to
the distress prevailing in the country. Never
theless, in the manifest determination to con-
slider the Irish question above all others earn
estly, the Parliament has opened under noble
auspices. Sir Charles Wentworth Dixie
declares that the programme of the Govern
ment is the most elaborate ever laid before
the country. Mr.. Disrael grumbles profes-
sionally that Ireland is growing worse and
her rulers are no better; but Mr.. Gladstone
sees her situation more hopefully, and can
rejoice in the loyal and sensible character of
her priesthood, Such compliment, we trust,
is a suggestive preface to the justice which
England has in store for Ireland.

The Express thus speaks Of the vote of the
House whereby Mr.. Marshalps Free Trade
proposition was laid on the table:
1.-THE motion to lay on the table is what Dr. Johnson
would have called copardy dodge 1t denies debate
reference. and every form Of public consideration 1t
comes from quarter which substitutes brute power for
fair discussion Let the people know all about the So &C.,
TO- and 100 per cent they in taxes for high proec
ton. and the adswould soon be taken from the
monster"
The Express has not always thought so.
When, in 1887, the House, on motion of John
c. Clark of this State, laid the Sub-Treasury
bill on the table, that journal said Well done !
When, in 1874, that same House laid the anti
Protective Tariff bill on the table, The Express
shouted again most vociferously. 1t then con-
sidered a motion to lay on the table square,
manly way Of throttling an obnoxious propo-
sition. Who has changedi
Mr. Marshall knew that "debaten was not
in order at this stage; and he certainly did
not want his proposition referred to the Ways
and Means Committeeman there was neither
sense nor use in referring it to any other. His
preamble and resolve were designed to test the
feeling of the House; and that end it achieved.
But The Express thinks the People ignorant
of the true character of Gen. Schenck's bill!
That must be the fault of the Editor of The
Express, who denounced it in a speech directly
after it was reported, and was followed in OPP
position to it by Mr. Allison of Iowa Az yet,
they are unreplied to. Do you want more
than all the talkingf
We urge the Free-Traders to adopt The
Posts suggestion-mako out just such a bill
as they approve, pit it against Gen. Schenck's,
and call the Yeas and Nays on the question of
substituting it for that measure If voted
down in the House. they can of course appeal
to the country. We confidently expect that
the "brute power" of majorities will be
against them in either case; but they shall
have discussion to their hearts content.

We presume the Senate will feel pledged by
its rejection of Attorney General IIoars nom
ination for seat on the Supreme bench to re-
iect that Of Mr. Bradley also the latter being
a citizen of Ncw-Jersey. We deem it un-
fortunate that he could not have been nomina-
ted for district where the " shrieks of local
"ity" could not be successfully invoked to de-
feat his confirmation. For Mr.. Bradley is not
merely very able and experienced lawyer. but
a worthy. good man, of sound Republican
principles and admirable private character.
Gen. Grant has nominated very good lawyers
for the bench of the Supreme Court but none
truer or filter than Joseph r. Bradley.

Mr.. Sweeny is picking up the crumbs of

great interests under control Of the State Gov

that there shall be Superintendent and
Deputy Superintendent to look after the inter-

course, Republicans. Mr.. Sweeny wants tho

Our local reports give another remarkable
case of alleged cruelty at sea, which, if proved
should consign the perpetrators to the State
Prison for life. 1t is charged that the captain
and other officers of the ship Neptune, during
the voyage from Liverpool, not only kicked
and beat the crew, after the usual fashion,
without cause, but that they invented the dia-
bolical torture of making them stand on their
heads, until, as one of the victims says, my
"eyes felt as if they would burst; my tongue
" hung out of my mouth, and l thought l was
dying" Another swears that "while on the
" foretopsail yard he Uhe captain) struck me
con the head and hands. and made me let
ego my hold he then tried to throw me over
aboard at another time, when l was on the
"main yard, he fired three shots at
enc, the balls passing close to my head"
It is true that sailors are apt to exaggerate
statements Of their grievances we know many
complaints are made that are never afterward
heard of, and tho general impression is that
they are compromised, or that the complainants
are put off by the laws delay until, from want
of money. they are compelled to abandon the
prosecution. The present case, however. is ex
traordinary /; and If it is true that such cruel
and unusual punishment was inflicted, we can
not doubt that the sufferers will find friends
who will SEQ that justice is done. For the sake
Of human nature we hope there is some mistake
in the charges if not, let the offenders reap
the full measure of their reward.

Mr. Laflin's resolution to dispense with the
publication of petitions for the abolition Of
the Franking Privilege in The Globe is well
enough in its way, save that it strikes only at
small limb Of the whole gigantic tree Of
abuses that ought to he cut up Ivy the
roots The thing TO do is not to stop
two or three columns of The Globe

The whole publication IS nuisance, and the
idea that the country derives its information
about the doings Of Congress from il is an alb
snrdity which belongs to the Middle Ages.

places in the market. When something re-

indignation was almost sublime. yet none of
the changes ever approached the impudence OF
this salt operation.
