SIGNIFICANT.

In the Legislature of Illinois, n political
game has just been played which the hea-
"then Chinee" might have regarded with
envy. First, a member of the House moved,
Tin the words of the last State Republican
platform) that
at is wrongful and oppressive to enact rerenue laws
for the special advantage Of branch Of business at The
expense Of another. and that the system of pro
lection to industry is that which imposes the ghtest
burdens and the ewest restrictions the property and
business Of the people, and promotes tie prosperity OF
ALL"
This was adopted without serious opposi-
ton and now member moved to amend, by
adding as follows:
"And the existing tariff laws are wrongful and op-
pressive their operation for the special advan
tage Of one branch Of business at the expense Of
another do tar the substance and the earnings the
citizen for purpose other than the maintenance OF the
Government the payment Of s debts, and the promo
ton of the general welfare and should be at once re-
duced to as near freerade basis is consistent with
these ends; thereby tightening the burdens OF and re-
moving the restrictions from the property and business
OF the people, and promoting the prosperity of all"
This, you see, was only proposing to resolve
what The Chicago Tribune and it's claaue have
been day by day asserting; yet it was laid on
the table by vote of "a to TIL of the 70
being Democrats.
A substitute was next proposed for the last
clause of the original resolve, in these words.
"That all systems Of taxation for protection and all
class legislation and monOpOles wrong In prncpe
and contrary to the spirit Of our free institutions"
This, also, was laid on the table, because
it affirmed the injustice and inutility of Pro-
lection, and insinuated that 10 protect Home
Industry is to favor "class legislation and
monopOles."
The Illinois Republicans refuse to follow
THE Chicago Tribune into the Democratic camp,
especially since il has evinced an inclination
to crawl out itself.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1871-02-15

and whoops over it. Starting out as a vague
ouip. a mere thistle-dOwn of jocosity, it has
been intercepted by usually gloomy but
respectable contemporary, and rather hea'hy
sat upon. The Springfield Republican mas at
last caught it adrift, and it makes merl'oil-
GUS but quite unnecessary effort to stop lts
further mi grafton. 1t is harmless little IAN
tasy. Il has not smartness enough to Keep IL
long aGoat, and of course it is destitute OIL any
other element of buOyancy. If 1t were True
that eccentricty in the adjustment OF the ear
locks, or originality i'll the disposition Oh the
back hair laid the ambassador haDlc 10 inc
ccnsure of his Government, it would be neceS-
sary TO define the ministerial mode OF halr-
dressing with the same careful precision as
Secretary Marcy evinced in prescribing the
ministerial attire. That eminent statesman IN
the midst of the lighter pursuits OF gov
eminent, found time TO compose cos
tune, uniting in an eminent degree VIC
ottributes of ugliness and Inconvenience, anu
in q sudden outburst of misanthr0py ne or
dained the investiturc therein OF the entiIe
Diplomatic service of the United states HUI
erto a certain sartorial liberty had been ac-
corded to the service. There were patilotS
who stuck TO their black satin walstcoats ana
rook-tailed coats, in defiance of despots; and
there were others who would have been glad
TO bespangle themselves with any quantity OF
decorative bullion and golden braid If they
had known how. This was not wholesome
diplomatic condition. For one of our plenlpO-
tentiaries to be mistaken in court spaces Tor
an undertaken and another in similar case to
be intercepted a. IIeyduc or a gentleman
usher, would have been humiliation to them
and an injury TO the national eagle. 80, doubt
less. some method assuring uniformity had to
be adopted. We see no similar reason at
present for Ordaining a particular style Oh
hairdressing or a particular cut of wig.
If the subject deepens in importance, and 1t
becomes distinctly apparent that the interests
of the Government will be subservcd by our
Ministers combing their hair behind their ears,
or parting it over the organ of vencratlon, or
tousIing it in picturesque DISAGREEMENT about
the TEMPLES. or indulgng the vain Ostentation
of cowlicb, we shall ponder the matter with
deliberation, and look into Addison anew to
see if we have overlooked any preccpt Likely
70 help us to a correct Judgment. We shall,
at any rate, give our advocacy to that style OF
Ministerial grooming which seems on the whole
TO be the best We should prefer to have the
care bestowed upon the inside of the embas-
sadOrial head-but if it must be on the out
side we shall vote for turning out a5 striking
and imposing result ~ possible.

A BAD BILL.

We can see no possible good in the passage of
Mr.. Norton's inquistOrial BILL misnamed for
the protection of Minors 1t is intended to
put stop to the operations of most beneficent
and successful charity, under the absurd pre-
text of preventing interference with the hered-
itary religious belief of the little Migrants who
fall into the hands of the Chidren's Aid So
cety. The bill is 80 vaguely wOrded that no
one can tell what its advocates mean by in
reference, and no prOvOcatiOn or questioning
can induce them to explain what they intend
or what their bigOted prOmpters meant when
they drew up the document. 1t is a rod IN
terrOrem held over the head of this and every
other charity which seeks to better the con-
diton of our pauper classes, and, If passed,
will probably accomplish its real and unavOw-
able object of destroying any charitable or
ganizatiOn which is not IN the interest of one
religious sect.
This ia ~ much in conflict with all our ira
d.tions and practice as it is contrary to the
dictates of common humanity and common
sense If there is one principle which distin
cuisines tour constitutional form from that of
all other nations, it is that of absolute reli-
gious freedom. Other nations have, since our
revolution, duODleu JOieIdlOH, DuJ dS JCJ Ohoio
is none which has made religion purely mat
ter of individual conscience, with which the
State has nothing whatever TO do. The
church in whose interest the policy Of
prescription is about to be set in ac-
ton in our legislation has prolted
as largely ~ any by that system of liberty its
mistaken advocates now seek to destroy.
There are thousands of Catholic schools in
this country, in which thousands Of children
of Protestant families are annually turned to
the worship of their preceptors. If we could
credit Mr.. Norton with the possession of an
ounce of logic in his brains, or of justice in
his heart, we would expect him to introduce,
without delay, bill providing for the prose-
cution of all the nuns and priests under whose
charge these conversions take place. The
scheme is bold and insolent attempt to eff
feet a union of Church and State, conceived in
an ignorant bigotry too deep for shame, and toll
Grated and supported by cowardice only con-
ceivablc to the trade of politicians.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1871-02-15
rious corruptionists. The proposed compromise
is sheer insolence. Out with it, gentlemen, and
show us a clean record.

Speaking Of military honor the other day.
we remarked that the history of Secession and
the personal character of some Of our officers
proved that there was no more of it in the
service than we had use for, and we had bet
ter take pains to keep it alive. Hereuron a
correspondent writes MS a very angry and un-
reasonable letter, insisting that we shall name
names, and give specifications, and so bring
the guilty to trial, and relieve the innocent
of unjust suspicion. But this is not our bust
ness. IF army officers want to purify the ser
vice they must do it themselves. II editors
know facts which are discreditable to indi-
vidual soldiers. they are under no sort OF obi
CATION to neglect their legitimate business IN
order to make up case for a court of inquiry,
with the prospect of getting libel SUIT for
their pains. If we denounced every man by
name whom we suspected, or even knew, to
be dishOnOrabe-a cheat in money affairs,
cruel husband, bad father, liar, braggart,
or a drunkard-we should deserve to be sup
pressed as a nuisance. We have said humid
red times, what all the world knows, that
every profession has its unworthy members
but are we then, TO publish list of the dis
honest lawyers, immoral physicians, and hypo-
critical preachers 2 We have never intimated
that American soldiers, as body, are I'M
worthy of esteem; on the contrary, we believe
that most of them are honorable men; and
there is not the slightest ground for our cor
respondents apprehension that unless We de-
nounce somebody by name, the,reading COM
"munity will infer that every officer who ap-
spears in uniform is, or may be, one Of the
" bad characters referred to-"

From one end of New-York TO the other, yes
terday, the cry was universal, "Give us an under
"grOmd railrOad" No more convincing argu-
ment for the necessity of such work could be
devised than the storms of this Winter have
supplied. Snow is one of the worst obstruc-
lions to travel, and perhaps the only one which
nothing but q tunnel can defeat. If the
money that has been spent in lobbying at AL
bany ana fighting rival companies could have
been devoted for the past two or three years
to the earnest prosecution of any one of the
many projects, what golden harvest the man
ayers would now be reaping! Let us have no
more hesitation. All the city calls upon tho
Legislature to act. Give us tunnel road
any good one-on any approximately central
route-without aid from the public treasury IL
possible, but a road, anyhow. One company,
already chartered, is ready to go to work IL
the city will lend its aid. Now see it others
can do it without such aid; if they can, give
them a charter and set them to work. they
can't, let us lend our bonds to the Central
Underground Company.
