every day l spent at the capital just S17. I
can't afford to make politics my profession.
And he is right, echoes the mind of every
honest man. A scoundrel who trades in his
principles would make up that $17, or $40 as
TO that, and have then no ''bad taste in his
conscience"
The thing is all wrong. That lazy lout of
loafer whose souls Office it is to keep its
body from rotting and can scarcely do that
who was kicked out of college to prevent his
giving to all the students q moral smallpox
was taken up in a country district after kiss
ing all the children, and sent to the Legisla-
ture. In six years exactly he had practised
such heroic economy that, from nothing and
worse than nothing, he had accumulated
$50, worth of property. hundred to
one, every dollar of that was swindle upon
society, and every dollar corruptedly offered
and corruptedy received helps to spread the
contagion.
If Government, and that means the people,
want honest legislators and honest legislation,
let them deal honestly toward their repre-
sentatives Is it honest to expect men need
ing the highest qualifications for one of the
highest and most honorable professions to
sacrifice, in times of peace, all their private
interests for the sake of the public good?
Can we expect incorruptibility to sit upon
the bench, when not one of our judges re-
ceives a salary sufficient to sustain relf-
respect, much less to support dignity and
honesty equal to the station Look at Eng
land, with her illustrious judiciary, but with
her judges receiving honestly more than the
President of the United States. The scales
of even-handed justice must be raised on a
column of gold planted by the State. ANY
other policy is penny wise and pound foolish
1t is worse than the policy of the economical
railway company which employs cheap hands,
and pays hundreds of thousands for the
manned and the dead.
We lose a thousand times more at the back
door of corruption than we save at the front
door of salary. We save at the spigot and
waste at the bung. A single charter or fran
chise passed by 'greasing the palms" will cost
the city or the State more than hall full of
high-salariad, honorable, and competent men
would cost in years of faithful service. Let
there be amendment here where amendment
is most needed. Put up the salary of all our
political servants to such figures as will
enable them to figure as honest men. Don't
lock up food from your servants and then
curse them for stealing.
Begin at the President of the United States
and keep up the proportion begun by the
original Congress, and his salary shall be not
less than 800, 900. Then carry out the pro-
portions of pay through every grade of SER
vice. And when our politicians and Judges
and officers can live something like mercan-
tile men, we shall then, if it be not too late,
see the day dawn when honest men can serve
their constituents. Till then we need not
expect reform

and pass the articles purchased through the
Custom House as his own.
These new regulations are extremely in
convenient for honorable people, by reason
of the fact that they require each passenger
to make, in all cases upon his honor and ia
some instances under oath, truthful declara-
ton in all respects This is very different
from subjecting ones trunks to the examina-
ton of an officer without having made a de-
claration of their contents or who is owner of
the articles contained therein.
Two motives have prompted us to make so
extended comments on thissubject and the law
on which the circular is based One is TO
give our readers full information upon the
subject, and so prevent them from bringing
upon themselves unawares an imputation of
fraud at the custom-house and consequent
coBtscation of their property. The other
motive is to fix the attention of all upon the
existing tariff abomination, for which the Re-
publican party is responsible. One item
alone will be sufficient to arouse the anger Gf
the dear creatures ever have such an emotion)
of our lady readers. The rate of duty upon
silk dress, for example, is sixty per cent dd
rdt07em in gold. One, therefore, which costs
in Paris hundred dollars would, on
arrival here, be liable, at the pre-
sent price of gold, to duty of some
seventy dollars in greenbacks. 1t is very
hard, therefore, for one to resist the tempta-
ton to get in free of duty such an article for
friend or relative. But the present iniqui-
tous Jaw and the recent regulations of the
Treasury Department forbid it, and anybody
who attempts it acts at his peril, and so far
demeans himself or herself as to make a
statement which no gentleman or lady would
be willing to make to save any sum as duty.
MOrdl.-Let every woman and every man
do her or his utmost to defeat and drive out
of political power every Republican in Office
who, by word or act, sustains the present
abominable tariff, or the one which President
Grant and the Republican leaders in Congress
are endeavoring to enact. Vote early and
often for free trade and the annihilation of
all customs dues

POLITICAL REFORM.
From the N. Y. Standard.

From the ~ Y. Standard.
Now that the Legislature has adjourned
and gone home, every man, who has a little
property left, breathes freer.
Perhaps that is a burlesque not very far
from the sober truth which represents our
departing representatives as each hugging,
with sardonic grin, his wallet, bag we'll
filed with gold, or wheeling his load of
bonds before him. Our legislative assem-
blies are, doubtless, turning rapidly into moral
frog-ponds of noisome stagnation. All par
ties seem sincerely to confess it, and lament
r. But how shall reform be effected, and
where shall we begin? We have a suggestion
or two to make upon this subject
Begin at the pay 1t is worse than idle in

for the Republican party to adjust itself to
the new work, and select men who are fit
for it. Many of the men who fought
the battle against slavery are by
temperament OF training disqualified for the
work of financial reform. If within a reason
able time the Republican party will set itself
in earnest to satisfy the new needs of the
country, and select men competent for the
new work, it will be infinitely better that the
task should be entrusted to that party than
to any other. 1t already has the power which
it would take any other party years to win
1t is intelligent patriotic and progressive,
and no other power in our history has ever
been able to move forward from one idea or
reform to another, as public interest required.
But the party must not fail to meet the pub
lie want. 1t must not delay or hesitate too
long. In a word, if it would retain power it
must deserve power.
If the Republican party undertakes the
task of abolishing monopolies and removing
unnecessary burdens, of course it will drive
from itself a great many men who have
hitherto adhered to it. On the other hand
it will win to itself a larger number of those
who have opposed it. The changes will be
precisely like that which took place between
1860 and 1864, or between 1864 and 1865;
new ideas, new measures, and new banners
will rally around them new men, and while
the organization remains, the constituent ele-
mepts will change. That embodiment of poll
tical trickery known as the Democratic party,
which carried Pennsylvania in 1874 with the
cry of ''Polk, Dallas, and the tariff of
1S42, and has never dared from that
day to this to fight against monopolies in
Pennsylvania or other Eastern States, will
lose its ablest champions and its most intelli-
gent voters whenever the Republican party
undertakes the work of tariff reform. In the
South, the men of culture and influence
whose power can be only temporarily re-
strained by measures Of reconstruction will
gladly ally themselves with Republican
party fighting for the true interests of that
great agricultural region. Mean while, in the
West the Republican maj ajorities will be over
whelming. These things we shall witness if
the Republican party adapts itself to the con-
dition of the country, and moves forward to
meet the wants of the people.

A Terrible Tragedy.

At about six and half o'clock on
Tuesday evening last our citizens wefct
startled by the report that q man bad

lars, as far as we are able to ascertain
are as follows: -'si'5 =.
About two weeks since one George
Hanson and wife, hailing from Min.
neapolis, MINI, came to this city,
and were visiting with their brother
in-law, Mr.. Edwards. On the eve-
ming in question, Hanson went home
under the influence of LIQUOR. and en-
gagged in quarrel with his wife about
some diamG nds and silver ware, that
she had in her trunk, and which he
demanded. Upon her refusal TO give
them up, he became very much enrag
ed and knocked her down twice with
his fist. On recovering somewhat
from the blows received, she stagger--
ed to lounge and laid down upon It.
AT this jnncture his rage increased.
and he sprang toward her with a knife
in his hand aud swore that he would
kill her Seeing that her Ii e was thus
ieopardized, she drew small revolver
