that "England's difficulty is Ireland's op-

hour is near when the conflict between the
monarchy and the republic is TO begin, be-

pressed, he certainly could not take more
effective means to unite" the people. Mr.
Disraeli has misseds great opportunity. He
had it in his power to do justice to a coun-
try which has been misgoverned for centu-
ries. He had it in his hands to bring one
great people up to a high standard in gov
ernmental polity and to render partial
Justice to another; but he has thrown it
away. 1t was, of course, idle and vain to
expect it from him or from the party which
he leads. Home Rule is only another name

REVENUE FRAUDS.

The New York Graphic is doing the
country q service by the publication Of
frauds upon the revenue by the New York
merchants. It's issue of the I'd instant de-
votes some three or four pages to the ex-
posure in detail of the frauds practiced by
single firm-Platt & Boyd, importers of
French plate glass. They did not, how
ever, as appears from an extensive CORE
spondence from which extracts are printed,
conf1ne their business to the glass trade, but
small lots of wine, game and millinery,
gloves, silk dresses and skirts were shipped
through" by the kindness Of friends. The
history of this case of Plat & Boyd fully
confirms the allegations of THE NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN as to the manner in which the
smuggling is carried on. A list is given of
the fees paid to custom-house officers who
happened to be on duty at the ship which
brought in the goods. The surgeons and
stewards of the vessels have also been very
kind in their offices of friendship to this
firm.
One method of defrauding the revenue
was by under measurement OF glass, so that
they paid on only about half the quantity;
another was by preparing the packages
before examination by removing the glass
imported and filling the boxes with broken
glass, and thereby getting liberal allowance
for breakages; and still another by invoic-
ing French plate as crystal plate or cylinder
sheet glass, on which the duty was much
less. This Is one of the much-abused
"Jsyne's" cases, and the Government has
instituted suit to recover about $780, 900
from PIatt 6 Boyd.
1t may be expected that the Chamber Of
Commerce and the Young Mems Christian
Association will unite in going into court
and testifying to the honesty of this highly
respectable old firm. If they should sue
ceed in swearing it through In the face of
the array of evidence presented in the
Graph:c, it will only present another in
stance of the power of money and great
names upon the minds Of twelve disinter-
ested and honest men.
1t is gratifying TO know that there is one
independent paper in New York which
dares to expose the villainies Of these i'm
porters. The poor consumer who is robbed
by these frauds will know how to appre-
ciate such a service, and the Graphic will
reap a rich reward in its increase Of circu-
lation and patronage. It will be sustained
by all honest merchants. They are deeply
interested in having these frauds exposed
and punished. In fact, every class except
those engaged in these or similar frauds is
being robbed by and through them. The
consumers are the taxpayers and it is the
taxpayers who are robbed by these rascally
transactions. 1t is to be hoped that the
Graphic will continue the good work which
it has commenced.

interest in the erection of the Centennial
buildings. Each one of them had an srchi.
tect who was the very best man who could
be found to do the work. OF course only
one architect was wanted. Somebody had
to be selected, but the funny thing about
it is that one journal is now assuring
US that the very best architect has been
chosen, while half dozen other papers de-
clare, with wonderful unanimity, that the

more incompetent hands.
