were very impressive and cminontly
befitting such q solemn occasion. The

bier Of their immortal dead, while fresh
flowers, artistically wroathod, were

mounds of the warrior dead Honor

The untrammellcd liberty OF ycster-
days tribute was tho fruitage of the
bitter tears Of other days, when parti-

w.ll street speeulatlss.

The renewed excitement In Wall street Is
curious commentary upon the disposition OF
human nature to forget It's ills The speculative
mania which has again taken possession OF
the dabblers in stocks, and gold exhibits the
power which the stock and gold gambling
cliques possess to draw outsiders into the
glddy whirl with them. After the crash Of
September last the herds Of "bulls" and
"bears' fell to ruminating in silence and sor-
row over their disastrous losses. For three
months the Stock Exchange was tame and dull.
But with the new year the cliques take the field.
The pulseless gold market is quickened into
activity and the quiet Gold Room resounds
with the yells Of the brokers' Forgot are the
wounds Of the late disaster. The dearly
bought experience teaches caution no longer.
AS higher and higher mounts the premium the
ranks are recruited. Gold is the touchstone
for all the markets. Its advance is the signal
for rise in stocks, bonds and all classes Of
securities. Each man gathers confidence from
his neighbor. One after another is drawn In
and the tide Of speculation swells. Money
is easy-it always is at this season
in Wall street. The spectators look for
an abundance Of it until the spring activity sets
in. Hence they embark courageously in the
grand ''bulP movement which is the generally
confessed programme for the balance Of the
winter. The brokers are in ecstasies. Their
tagging spirits revive with the increasing
volume Of business. They have had hard
times since September. Yesterday the
street was all animation. The Gold Room
was in ferment Of ofexoitement over the govern
ment gold sales and over remarkable dispute
between gold brokerage firm and the Clear
ing House with reference to o check for the
triHing sum of half q million Of dollars. In
the Stock Exchange and in the government
board busy throng circulated throughout the
hours Of business. The sapguine ''bulls" are
existing in rose-colored atmosphere, and will
while the market rises. They reck not of the
turning point and seem to forget the lessons Of
the past. If another crash be the penalty Of
their heedlessness they have only themselves
to blame.

A FRENCH SOLUTION OF THE INFALLIBnITY
DRFIoULTY.-A French journal, Memorial
INpsomatiQue by name, asserts that compro-
mise has been arrived at regarding Papal
infailibiiity. The Council is to be allowed to
proclaim it, and all the world is to be allowed
to dissent. We put the matter more correctly
when we say the Council will proclaim it and
the world will dissent. This is but putting in
another form what we have said hundred
times. If the Church will walk alone she may;
the world will not hinder her, but it will claim
and exercise the same liberty for ITSELF The
Church and the world not being agreed they
cannot walk together. =

Tax Laws.
A report comes from Washington that the
President contemplates recommending to Con-
gress change In the tariff and tax laws, with
view to relieve the people Of some Of their
present burdens II this be so the Presidents
views have undergone some change since he
sent his message to Congress at the opening Of
the present session. While he admitted then
that It was necessary to reduce taxation, which
bore heavily upon the industrious classes, as
soon as practicable, he thought it would not be
wise to make any material change until the
national debt could be reorganized and
funded. He seemed to think the debt could
be funded or adjusted on better terms and
with more facility If the income remained
large, the Treasury full Of money and the
credit Of the government kept as high as pos
sible. We suppose, therefore, that upon re-
consideration the President concludes now the
taxes may safely be reduced without inconve-
nience to the funding of the debt at a lower
rate Of interest
The Committee of Ways and Means, it ap-
pears, have under consideration modification
of existing laws which will increase the free
list Of articles now taxed, but this, 1t is said
does not 60 as far as the President desires
He would make more sweeping change and
would supply the revenue thus proposed to be
cut off by raising the tax on what is termed
foreign business. That is, we suppose, to
reduce the internal taxes and to increase
certain duties on foreign articles. In other
words, he is for taxing more heavily imported
articles Of luxury which the mass Of the
people can do without very well and which the
rich can afford to pay for, and TO take the tax
off those things that enter into general con-
sumption This, undoubtedly, is popular and
statesmanlikc view Of the subject. Our sys-
tenn of taxation bears too heavily upon the
poor and working classes, and is both compli-
Gated and costly in operation. Great Britain
raises by far the largest part Of its revenue
from few articles ofluxury. Why should we
not do the same? This would simplify our
revenue system very much and would save
vast sum in the collection. Fully half or two
thirds Of the number Of officials employed in
the Revenue Department could be dispensed
with. The tax on small incomes should cer-
tainly be taken of. Perhaps it would be well
to abolish this tax altogether; for it is inquisi
torial,. corrupting to both the officers Of the
government and the morals of the people, and
requires most costly machinery-a little
army of oflicials-to collect 1t. If the Presi-
dent takes the view represented about chang
ing the tariff and tax laws it is evident he has
no fear Of the Treasury being depleted. The
surprising growth of the country and the rapid
increase of our wealth and resources will keep
the Treasury in good condition, under proper
management, although the taxes may be
reduced. Too much surplus money in the
hands Of the government only leads to extrava-
gance and corruption. This is most impor-
tant subject to the mass of the people, and
should the President turn his attention seriously
to it he will do much to popularize his admin
istration.

APPoRTI0NMENT OF REPREsENTATIoN.-M

The CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND TIE
POSTAL TELEaRAPH.-We observe that the
Chamber Of Commerce of this city is decidedly
averse to discussion Of the postal telegraph,
and can lay it on the table with wonderful
alacrity whenever it by any chance comes
up. AS the proposition for the postal tele-
graph is one Of the progressive ideas Of the
age, it may occur to the people generally that
1t is laid aside because the Chamber is body
of old fogies. But this is not the reason. On
the contrary the reason is one that demon
strates that the old gentlemen are as keen as
can be-when they see their interest in a
measure. The reason why the Chamber Of
Commerce puts its face against the postal tele-
graph is that many Of its members are large
stockholders in the Western Union Telegraph
Company.

The PARAeUAYAN MIssIoN.-Yo Young Lopez
had an interview with President Grant yester-

stated to the President that great injury had
been done Paraguay by the withdrawal Of

he urged the accreditins Of another minister a.
soon as possible
