The BOSTON Advertiser administration dep.
recates the "on to st. Domingo" policy
which some of its contemporaries advocate.
1t takes the Philadelphia North american TO
task for desiring not only the acquisition OF
ST. Domingo, but also that Of Cuba, the
Danish West Indies, the Navigator's Islands in
the Pacific, British Columbia, some islands
near Terra del Fucgo and slice from Mexico.
The Advertiser suggests that if we were not too
proud to take lesson from Great Britain we
might gain something from her experience.
She is ready to let Canada 60 in peace.
Australia is becoming accustomed to the idea
of ultimate independence, and her colonies
generally are burdensome to her. The policy
of wholesale annexation does not seem to be
popular even among the leading administra-
ton papers.

The Police Raid ON Policy Dealers


Of all the sharks who prey upon the poor
and the ignorant in New York none do more
cruel work than the policy dealers. In their
little shops, which may be found in almost
every crowded neighborhood where poverty
throngs, they drain, in dimes and quarters,
the earnings of industry, slowly, though
surely, impoverishing their victims and pre-
pairing them for career Of crime or pauper-
ism. With false offers Of the chance for large
gains they delude their weak-minded sup
porters. Occasionally they pay ''lucky' GUS
toner, who thenceforth becomes o constant
client, and may be counted as sure contrib
utor to the gains of the dealer SO long as
there is dime to invest. But the majority
of the infatuated patrons Of this petty scheme
of gambling never win dollar, yet constantly
indulge the hope that, through some magic
dream or conjuration, they may hit winning
number and enjoy the possession of money
they have not earned. Hardly more demor-
alizing institution curses this city than policy
playing, and oil well wishers to the commu-
nifty will approve the action Of the police in
endeavoring to break it up. Every one of the
dealers ought to be breaking stones on the
Island or serving the city in some way, instead
Of prosecuting his internal business. If we
have law which will punish these miscreants
it should be faithfully administered If there
is none, then to frame and pass one should be
an early business of the coming Legislature.

In Coon TASTE. The attendance of the
President and Vice President of the United
States at Mr.. Greeley's funeral to-day will be
properly appreciated as an act of generous
sympathy and as a graceful tribute to one
whose life has been honorable TO his country
and useful TO mankind. We may reasonably
accept 1t as an indication that the bitterness
Of tho late political strife has passed away and
that the degrading personalities of the recent
campaign will never be renewed.

prominence. The Courier remarks that ga

of progress with the semi-civilized tribes

and desires to do, for the lower animals
that is interferes to save him from whippings
when he deserves them, and smiles while he
kicks in his traces-few who know anything
of Mr.. Lo will care to admit. The Indian
question is not yet settled, and never will bo
by periodical manifestoes filled with para
phrases Of the Sermon on the Mount. We arc
informed by telegraph from San Francisco that
Mr.. Commissioner Walker has been afforded
by the Modoc Indians an early opportunity
Of correcting some Of his more confident
assertions concerning the success of the
peace policy of the administration. Tho
Modocs having been ordered by the
authorities to remove to the klamath reserva-
ton in Oregon refused to go; fight took
place between them and the First cavalry in
consequence, and number of soldiers and
savages were killed. That was the opening
scene in the tragedy. Now we are told that
the Modocs have massacred all the settlers ON
Link River and that eighty warriors are in
the field, and are opposed by only thirty five
soldiers from Fort Klamath. The last state
ment in the despatch, that companies are form
ing, is, however, comforting. In the mean
time, however, and before the people Of Ore
gon take the settlement Of the Modoc diff
Guilty into their own hands, it would be well
for Mr.. Commissioner Walker to tell us what
he is going to do about it.

France-Conidenco Restored, but th,
situation Still Doubtful.

situation Stin Doubtful.
Our news from France this morning con-
firms the opinion which we expressed yester-
Theirs and his Ministers had for the present
restored confidence in the government and re-
assured the French people. Throughout all
her borders France is calm At the same
time an uneasy feeling prevails as to the pos
sible action Of the Assembly on Thursday
President Theirs, provides for the appoint
ment by the Assembly Of o committee of
thirty to draw up a law regulating public
powers and prescribing the conditions of
ministerial responsibility. It is quite natural
that the political parties, and, indeed, the
whole thinking population Of France. should
be anxious about the organization of this
committee. Our readers will remember that
NJ Dufaure's motion was carried in the As
sembly on Friday last by very small ma
jority. Everything will depend on the organi-
zation of this new committee. The Right
will do its best to secure a majority in the
committee, and as the Right is strong nothing
but willingness on its part to conciliate if
conciliation is possible, will prevent it from
appointing committee subservient to its
wishes. II the Right should succeed, it is not
impossible that there will be another dead
lock on Thursday first. We are not. there
fore, at all surprised to learn that the Repub-
Iqle Nancaise, Paris journal devoted to the
cause Of the Republic, is full Of fear as to the
result on Thursday, and disposed to believe
that in the event of defeat on the organization
of the committee on that day President Theirs
may consider it his duty to resign, and his
supporters of the Left, following his example,
may withdraw from the Assembly. The situa-
ton is thus peculiar. There is quiet for the
moment, and disposition towards political
party fusion and conciliation is apparent.
France is not unwilling that Presi-
dent Theirs and the Assembly, if they can
agree, should continue to rule over them. But
feeling of uncertainty is general. To-day it
is order; tomorrow it may be chaos. NJ.
Dufaure's motion was compromise. It was
the less difficult for the majority in the AS
sembly to allow it to pass, that they knew the
fight must be resumed on the appointment Of
the committee. On Thursday first the fight of
Thursday last will be resumed, but with what
results we must wait to learn.

grouping all these inland canal projects
and steamship subsidies recommended OF
suggested by the Message. and supposiDg
they are all adopted by Congress, we return to
the very important question, What is the prob
able amount of money that will be required
from the Treasury to carry them through 2
The land-locked, seaboard canal proposed be-
tween Maine and Moxico possesses what Web
ster would have called IAN odor of nation
ality; but if peaceful arbitration is hence
forth to be the last appeal of kings we shall
not need this canal for warlike purposes
and the money required for its construc-
ton, which will probably be all of a
hundred millions, would be better applied in
tho work of an interoceanic ship canal across
the Isthmus of Nicaragua or Darien. These
projected Southern Trans-Alleghany canals
would cost each perhaps from fifty to hun
dred millions; and the Niagara ship canal to
be of any great value, would hardly be COM
pleted with less than twenty-five millions.
Of course in these enterprises, excepting the
Niagara and the Atlantic seaboard canal, the
government would pay only part of the costs
of construction; but from these examples every
little river, inlet or harbor in the United
States. with any pretences to navigation,
would demand an appropriation from the
Treasury, and would get il. too. through the
Washington lobby, and thus the sum Of oil these
jobs in the end would be many hundreds Of
millions Of dollars.
So with these steamship subsidies. IF you
one line you must, on the rule of
equal rights, subsidize another, and 80 on till
our whole carrying trade ON the high seas and
coastwise and inland becomes grand monop-
oily in the hands of the Secretary of the Treas
ury. For what better right has an ocean
steamer to government subsidy than coast
ing schooner or an Erie Canal boat, we should
like to know2 The worst Of il is that with the
adoption of these steamship subsidy and canal
jobs a food Of corruptions, frauds and
entertainments will set in which will swamp
the Treasury and bring upon the country a
ruinous financial collapse, with oil it's evils Of
bankruptcy and repudiation. This is the
abyss which lies at the end Of the road to
which the President unwittingly invites Con-.
gress in the Quixotic government enterprises
we have been considering. The Message is
remarkable for the prodigality of expenditures
therein recommended in every direction, but
the new departure on these subsidies and in
ternal improvements opens the way for a
policy of endless jobs and endless corruptions,
and for expenditures which can end only with
the exhaustion Of the Treasury.

Congress Yesterday.

In the House evidences were given yester-
day Of o determination to commence work.
The proceedings, though not in any way ex-
citing. brought out some of the old Con-
gressional wrestlers on the bill introduced by
MIR. Schofeld, from the Naval Committee, to
build ten sloops-of-war. It is a fact admitted
on all hands that the ships Of our navy,
particularly those vessels on cruising service,
are, in the majority of cases, worthless. Con-
structed during the war of unsound timber,
many of these are now absolutely rotten, and
unless something be done to mend matters we
shall find ourselves without ea-going vessels
fit to carry o battery. This proposition to
construct ten handy vessels is, therefore,
worthy Of serious consideration While de-
batting the subject it is well that the condition
Of our navy should be fully discussed, in view
of contingencies which. no matter how much
administration men may deny it, are always
possible with q nation having such wide
interests to protect. II our Commerce
now is mere fraction of what it
should be we may reasonably hope that
sooner or later, it will be worth all the expen-
diture which Congress may think fit to appro-
pirate for its protection. But we do not want
money squandered on fleets designed at hap
hazard and built to save appearances. What
the country requires is a uniform plan, with
ships of war of the latest and best model,
which will not in few years in turn require
ajeremiad on their uselessness. A resolution
was passed requesting information from
Secretary Boutwell, on his authority for the
five million dollar currency reissue of October
last.
The Senate was the scene Of piece of
strategy by Senator Cameron, which resulted
in its immediate adjournment to cut off
resolution intended to be offered by Senator
Fenton, that when an adjournment did take
place it would be until tomorrow. The in
tention was to afford large number of Sena-
tors an opportunity to attend the obsequics
of Mr.. Greeley. If this latter resolution could
be condemned on any grounds worthy of
respect, the mode of crushing it was as in
decent as it was stupid The resalt-the loss
of an entire day-r,oves the justice Of this
opinion. pc matter how severe it may appear.
