every sort of childish fun and frOlic-in short,
mind ms well as body has the most wholesome OF
nourisbment given to it. When the hot days
of this June came, however, and everybody
turned their faces toward the country, the
managers resolved that the little patients In
the wards should also have their share OF sun
shine and Summer. Some OF them would
never leave the cribs but for the collin: they
should at least have one glimpse Of Gods good
world here before He took them home. 80
carpenters, masons, and painters went to work,
and never did carpenters, masons, or painters
work with such hearty good will They
put UP long, well-shaded pOrches run
ming along the sunny side OF the
building. And last week, one day when the
air was balmiest, the little cribs were gently
carried out and placed in rows where the
wistful baby faces could look down at the
grass, and the sun shining, and the trees
rustling over their companions at play, and the
roses and honeysuckles climbing over the
fences of the neighbors' gardens. 1t was
quiet, pleasant evening. The scent OF the
flowers filed the air; little beyond, the
river flowed and the masts Of the ships at an
Choir struck fine dark lines against the sunset
sky. Presently the matron brought out nets
and hung over each crib as the child within it
fell asleep.

Only quiet June day, grass growing, and a
few flowers, kind-faced woman and some
little cribs brought into the sunshine, where

revenue officers to treat every merchant as
rogue, and has resulted in losses OF tens OF
thousands of dollars to respectable hrms
which had done no wrong whatever. IL Is not
too much to say that the country was shocked
by these disclosures. A bill to protect inc
innocent and confne the right OF seizure
within reasonable limits was passed by the
House of Representatives and sent, last APRIL
to the Senate. 1t is in the Senate that OPP
preston this year has always found its strong
defense. The bill was sent to the judiciary
Committee and Immediately smothered. Mr..
Edmunds took it under his charge. He found
that it chad some merit in it," but needed
very "careful consideration" SO he consid-
cred. and considered, and considered so care
fully and so long that he never found time to
do anything further. Mr.. Trumbull, the Chair
man of the Committee, made repeated at
tcmpts to have the bill reported, but Mr.. Ed
munds, with the jealous assistance of Senator
Conkling, managed to defeat them. On WedneS-
day of last week, Mr.. TrumbuD, who had
received kilograms almost every day from
merchants in all the great cities urging the
passage Of some measure for their reilef, ex-
planned 10 the Senate how the matter stood,
and moved that the bill be taken from the
Committee and placed upon the calendar. Mr.
Edmunds objected. and under the rule the
motion went over On Friday, Mr.. Irumbuli
renewed his motion, and Mr. Edmunds and
Mr.. Conkling both fought against the bill,
tooth and nail, until they killed it by delay.
So the session closed without action upon
either of these important measures, and the
merchants of the United States are indebted
to the Administration for nothing except
report to the effect that they have no grleV-
ances, and have not been oppressed nor over
taxed and are treated no worse than they
deserve to be. Perhaps the merchants VIII
remember this when the time comes for them
to be heard.

IrGLSJATJON AND SPEECHES.

The celebrated Michigan statesman and ora
tor, Mr.. Chandler, has discovered that all the
speeches made in Congress this session were
delivered in obedience to q conspiracy organ
lied at a New. York hotel last November.
"The time of the Senate has been wasted
throughout the session. says Mr.. Chandler,
in order that this secret league might achieve
in some dark and mysterious way its dark and
mysterious objects. But we have q distinct
recollection that great deal of talking has
been done since last December by the faction
with which Mr.. Chandler himself sympatbizes.
Mr.. Carpenter has made some roaring speeches
on amnesty, on the sale of arms, on Custom
house purity, on civil rights on Charles Sum-
ner, and on many other topics. The voice of
Mr.. COnkling has occasionally been heard, and
the commanding figure of Mr.. COnkling has
been seen on the floor of the Senate, and Mr..
Chandler must admit that Senator MOrtons
talents have not been hidden away in nap
kin during any Of the debates of the session.
The acid Edmunds and the jocose Nye have
not spared us-nay, Mr.. Chandler himself has
spoken louder and with less provOcatiOn, and
got further away from his subject, than any
other man in the Chamber. The Administra-
llbu DIhdlOl0 udlC DNOh ubuA INV N'tHNt NNN
they have not been dumb.
A history of the motions introduced this
year will show at once that Mr.. Chambers
party has met every important proposal for
reform with measureless foundations of de-
bate. The resolution to investigate the fragrant
abuses of the New-York Custom-hOuse was
answered by so much oratory and invective
that the whole country looked away from
Washington in very shame at such a burlesque
upon legislation. The motion for inquiry into
the sale of arms was followed by weeks OF
utterly barren and useless speech-making. In
neither of these cases was there cause for any
debate at all, the obvious duty and policy OF
the Administration party being to appoint the
necessary committees at once, and go to work
without another word But where some are
enamored of their own elOquence. and Others
are persuaded that the chief business of an
American legislator is to talk Gen. Grant into
Office again, debates must be wOrdy and bust
ness must lag.

pPF1CHJNG AND PRACTICE.

Senator Wilson's letter accepting the noml-
nation for ce-President from the Philadel-
phia Convention is chiefly remarkable for
pertinaciously preaching a political gospei
which be and his associates refuse
to live and exemplify. Doubtless, Mr.
Wilson honestly believes that he and the
denomination party in Congress are in favor
of all the reforms to which he pledges him.
self anew. We cannot believe that, after
many years of useful labor in the Senate, the
candidate for the Vice-Presidents char mas
but Just discovered what the people nave
been demanding for term as long
as his own in the Senate. Yet he
eloouently declares that the Republican
party,s mission is to do the very things which
he and his associates have been hindering
He says the Republican party proposes re-
form in the Civil Service why has not the
Republican party, administered by the nominee
of the Philadelphia Convention, done something
for that reform besides fOuting it in Congress
and openly Conforming it by Executive actlonf
The Senator parades the abOlitiOn of the Frank
ing Privilege as one of the high aims OF
Republicanism, but he finds it convenient TO
forget that that majority with which he acts
in the Senate has steadfastly defeated every
effort to demolish that ancient abuse, and
practically stands pledged to-day to uphold 1t
indefinitely. He drags up the simpliiication OF
the Indian question as one of the national
duties of his party in the future; when it is
notorious that the Administration, now seeking
new popular Endorsement, has done nothing
but middle and worry the Indian question,
until, as shown by the letters of an army
officer to THE TRIBUNE, chaos only reigns
where order was possible The Senator
blandly repeats the glitterng generalites of
the Philadelphia platform concerning the civil
rights of the colored people, when he very
well knows that his party associates in the
Senate repeatedly voted to attach Mr.. Sum-
ner's Civil Rights bill to the Amnesty bill,
with the patent determination to destroy both
together.
What we want, what the people want, is no
renewal of broken promises, but performance.
We have had enough of preaching; let us
have some practice. Mr.. Wilson's part of the
Republican party has had abundant Opportu-
nifty to do all that he says yet remains to be
done. He and his associates might have re-
formed the Civil Service, abolished Thanking
privileges, provided for the resumption of spe-
Gle payments, simplifed the Indian policy, and
have done all the other fine things which
he promises they will do if Gen. Grant is re-
elected. The past is no hopeful guaranty for
the future. What has been, shall be. The
people are tired of this keeping the promise
to the ear and breaking it to the hope. Has not
the pledge of reformation been made, at last,
once too often?

COST or OUR GOHERNMENT

Congress, at its last session, appropriated
about S1G2300,000 to carry on the National
Government for the fiscal year commencing
on the LIST of July. This is exclusive of the
interest on the Public Debt, and of other per-
manent appropriations of considerable amount.
1t is also exclusive of deficiency bill, of un-
certain amount which Congress will be called
on to pass at its next session. Comparing the
appropriations with those made last year,
there is diminution of about 81, 100000, or a
little more than one per cent. More than this
saving ought to be made in the single item of
the cost of collecting and assessing the Inter-
nal Revenue. There is retrenchment of
$500 900 in the Navy, which is given $4,000 OOO
without making provision for building or COM
pletng single new ship. The Army is given
SOS, 100000, or nearly $1,0O00OO more than last
year. There is also an increase of 81 400 900
in the item of pensions, for which $50, 4SO 900
is now appropriated. There is another in
crease of 81 100000 in the amount of subsidies,
&C., paid TO the Indians, who are to get. or
ought to get, upward of $G,OOO,OOO the coming
year. Our intercourse with foreign nations
costs about Sl,5OO,OOO in salaries of Ministers.
Consuls, and Commissioners. The Military
Academy is maintained at cost to the nation
of about S325,00O and the Naval Academy of
about S2OO,OOO not including in either case the
salaries drawn by the officers aud cadets as
officers of the army and navy.
The appropriations for the Improvement of
rivers aud harbors, construction OF court
houses post Offices, and custom-houses, aud
building of forts and Notifications, are all
RAPIDLY Increasing and such is the natural
tendency when tho treasury ia OVERLOOKING.
We judge that the amount to be expended on
public works of this kind during the year now
at hand will range from $1,000 900 to s2OOOO,OOO
Every considerable city has already one or more
Government buildings in process of construction,
and We suppose that Congress has appropriated
money enough to keep full forces at work until
after election. That noble work, the Coast

pERSONAL GOYERNMENT


If the Liberal Republicans could afford to
judge all public business with reference solely
to the election of tho next President, they
might well rejoice over the scenes in Congress
during the closing hours of the session. Gen.
Grant has never received such an injury
during the whole of his administration as his
partisans, especially in the Senate, have put
upon him during those last three days. His dis
graceful nepotsm, his gift-tal1ing, his abuse
of official patronage, the shame of his appoint
ments, prescription of political opponents,
frauds and iobbery in Office, scandals of Santo
Domingo and the New-Yorll om-house,-
all the long catalogue of wrongs and fOllies SO
forcibly presented the other day by Mr..
Sumner, will not hurt him so severely in tho
estimation of the American people as the
revelation of the purposes of his managers in
Congress afforded by the scheme to extend
the Force bill to every voting precinct in the
United States. This is q bill which strikes at
the very foundation of honest republican gov
ernment, and it has been urged by devices
perfectly adapted to its infamous character
1t was q dishonest attempt to thwart the free
expression of the popular preferences at the
polls, and its promoters, unable to carry 1t
through Congress by an open vote, combined
to secure its passage by violation of the
rules of the Senate and gross infringement
upon the rights Of the minority. A more in
solent defiance of law and justice has never
been exhibited even by the late Congress.
This will help our candidate; but the spirit
which animated the extraordinary proceedings
of Friday, and Saturday, and Monday must
appal every patriotic heart. Grant Is the first
of our Presidents who has exhibited vulgar
thirst for personal power and now that the
Constitution is menaced by the encrOachments Of
the Executive the Senate Of the United States,
from which we had reason to look for aid,
only fans the fame Of the Presidents am
bition. All the lesser evils of Gen. Grants
administration we might bear III patience;
but his increasing tendency to break through
the restraints of the Constitution, to
eyade law in. one case by trick
cry to violate it openly in another
to limit in every possible manner the power
of the people TO make themselves heard IN ma
tional affairs, and to establish in place of the
government Of our fathers q military presi-
dency, with Cabinet composed of personal
servants, q staff of aides and Orderlies, Sen
ate obedient like that of imperial France, and
n lower house in which the protests OF the
opposition can be sienced by the despotism of
a well-drilled Administration majority, elected
by Government influence and paying for their
places by docility to the cOurt-this is danger
which we must view with alarm, and must do
our utmost to avert. And it may as well be
understood that Senators who joined in this at
tempt to subvert the true principles of our po-
litical system must bear their full share of the
punishment with which the people will visit
such an oilense.

There have been n great unsealng of eyes and
