GIN IND MILK.

II is n bad thing for morality when minis
ter of the Word of God takes To mixing HIS
drinks. Had the Rev. Charles B Smyth
while sanderously assailing THE TRIBUNE,
confined himself to milk and water, he would
not in his evil days have been given over 10
the Presbytery. But he chose rather to try
the experiment of mixing his milk with gin,
and thereby spoiled, as Charles Lamb would
say, two good things-if gin be good thihg
at all He spoiled still another; for somehow
Mr.. Smyth has managed to mix up his religion
with his drinks, and, to judge by his news
paper associations, he has sadly involved MS
character as clergyman in these convlviai
rotations. For a lay brother, mere weak
vessel of wrath, to stand up to bar, ana
swallow gin and milk, is scandalOus But for
an ordained Christian refOrmcr to invite news
paper reporters out to drink at a public bar,
and then to recommend them gin and MILK Is
most tOlerabe, and not to be endured
The Presbytery did not come to the rescue
of their outraged pulpit moment too soon.
They have discovered that the Rev. Mr. Smyth
mixed his drinks with his religion just at a
time when rum and gin were sold in violation
of a law of the State. Thus did Charles Smytn
poison his creed at the moment he broke the
law, and to the extent of a glass of gin and
milk debauched his faith by his works. Although
his company were seated in private room,
"no blessing was asked, at least audibly or
apparently, on the repast." We should think
not Ask blessing on a repast OF gin and
milk imbibed on the Sabbath day in violation
of the Liquor Law! Just Heaven what IS
Religion coming to that sensational ministers
of\the gospel contemplate the asking of bless
ings over such drinks at such times! why,
then, let us have a clergyman for every bar
room in the city-a special Smyth for every
grogshop in Bowery or Broadway.
The Presbytery have only disappointed us IN
not finding that the Rev. Charles Il. Smyth
is more or less a humbug. He has, however,
made his deepest genuhexion, and not without
some thought, confessed his sin of scandal,
and promised to walk more circumspectly IN
the future" Let him see to it that he does.
Mr.. Smyth has been guilty of no trivial
offense, and, unless he be q man OF unusual
simplicity, it is one which is likely to be
singled out as marking a painful defect OF
character. He must never more drink GIN and
milk. He must cease to preach gin and milk.

"PFVENTE REFORM"

The House of Representatives has for some
weeks been mainly engaged in revision OF
the Customs Tariff; wherein every item Is
brought under consideration, and most OF them
submitted to a direct scrutiny and vote.
few are increased; much larger number are
reduced while the Free-List is very consid-
erably extended. But this is not "revenue
reform" according to the views of those who
are masquerading in the cast-off robes OF Cal
houn and NcDutiie because it does not ignore
and destroy Protection to American Industry.
"Reduce the Taxes ."-That is just what Gen.
Schenck's bill will do if enacted. we DON'T
value it on that account; for we hold that the
time for reducing the National Income has not
vet arrived, and will not till the Public Debt
shall have been funded at a lower rate OF IN
terest. Hence. we are Indifferent to the fate
of Gen. Schenck's bill but the fact that IL
will. if enacted, reduce the Revenue by many
Millions. is clear. But this is MT satisfactory
to the Revenue Reformers,' simply and solely
because it does not subvert Protection.
When this measure shall have been disposed
of, the Committee have an Excise or Internal
Revenue bill ready to follow it, That reduces
some taxes and abOlishes others, so as to dl-
minsh taxation by some Twenty Millions more.
Taken together, these two bills reduce the
Revenue by about Fifty Millions per annum.
But they mt satisfy the self-styled Revenue
"Reformers," because they do not put an end
to Protection.
The Income Tax expires by limitation with
the current year. We think it should not be
remposed. Congress should maintain good
faith and it was Congress that decided, years
ago, that this should be the first tax abolished.
To reimpOse heavy and odious tax at the
same time that we are reducing several taxes
and abolshing others, would seem strange
policy. But this is deemed essential to the
overthrow of Protection: so we must expect to
see it commended and insisted on as a meas
ure of Revenue Reform"

Heretofore we have had occasion to refer To
John l.. Brown, the titular head and front Of
the foulncss Of our offending streets. Is
pecially have we been called upon TO speak in
high eulogy of his proficiency in the Demo
cratic art of abstracting money from the pub
lie treasury without returning an equivalent.
The machinery with which he worked was
simple and effcacious. There was Street
Cleaning Commission, composed of the Mayor,
Controller, Corporation Counsel and or ot'c'o
the President of the Board of Health who had
the spending of $49s,OOO per annum for the
cleaning of the streets. This work Brown con-
tracted to do, and we presume has done TO tho
satisfaction of his employers, for he has peck
eted the money regularly in semi-monthly m
stallments. Taking, therefore, the present con-
dtion of a majority of our thoroughtares into
account, the only thing which perplexes us is
the idea of cleanliness entertained by the Com
mission. Regularly, twice in each month these
gentlemen have certified to the publication of
the City, and paid Brown for labor nobody
has seen performed in streets that reek with
refuse from which pigs and scavengers pluck
profit in abundance. So long as the tempera-
ture was low these streets were not positively
dangerous to the public health; but with warm
days which have come with the early Spring,
as forerunners of sultry Summer the mat.
ter has become more serious. If there is any
virtue in our new City Government, here Is a
fine opportunity for its display.

Recent occurrences in our Courts have appar-
emily aroused very strong sentiment on the
subject of reform of the bench and bar, and dis
graceful as they have been We dare say they may
prove blessings in disguise. The people are be-
ginning TO realize how low the tribunals of JUS
tice have fallen, and how imperative is change
An INSCRIPTIONS counsel is the logical conse-
quence of a venal judge; and since the bar In
evitably takes its tone from the bench, the best
way to reform the Courts is 10 begin at the
top. We shall have our first chance at the ju-
dietary election on the 18th instant. The Court
of Appeals is not one of those corrupt trbu-
mails which need to be swept ont, and fortu-
nately the candidates on both sides are in the
main good men. There is Il choice, however,
among the good. If we are resolved to nave
pure and dignifed judiciary in the lower tn
bunas, we cannot afford to neglect the choice
for the highest in the State. Seven judges are
to be chosen at the coming election, but only
five ballots will be cast by each voter. we
urge all good men to be sure and vote, ana 70

The manner of the Senate Yesterday i'll con-
sdering the Franking bill would have been
very amusing if the result of the debate had
not been so sadly disappointing. Senators
were, as Mr.. Cameron put it, demOralized by
the call for the Yeas and Nays on the proposal
to further postpone the vote on the bill,
and feared to go upon the record
as opposed to the clearly expressed wish
of the people for the abolition of the Frank
ing abuse. They managed, after much " fill
clustering" to regain their lost courage, and
did finally put OFF the vote on the bill for
a few days more. Bat it still remains the spe-
cial order, and must in the course of business
soon come up again. There will, of course, be
a motion to postpone, on which, we trust, Mr..
Ramsey will again call for the Yeas and Nays.
The people demand to know who are the
opponents of the proposed reform OF one OF the
most fragrant abuses of the civil service.

Miss Barkaloo, the Female Attorney, has
commenced her professional career in st.

credit. Her first case was that OF an unioT-

her own, demanded $50 damages of the
slaughterers of her pet. The corporation OF
of course demuIred. The bereaved lady

instead of rushing into Court with a green bagfuh
of papers in her hand, advised the Companyto
