which it has brought tho ata realm. and TO,

With such programme there would be no
necessity of any Of that uneasy industry and
conscientious novelty which proved in the cad
so fatal 20 the Liberals The Conservatives,
while dwelling upon the mistakes of their pre-
dccessors, could crest and be thankful that
matters were no worse.
This change of policy is favored by the
mental and moral characteristics Of the new Pre-
mier ~ conrasicd with those Of the old. Mr.
Gladstone was man of an ascetic sense OF duty
His convictions and his views changed indeed
in the progress :of years, but 80 slowly that he
is of all men least liable to the charge OF in
consistency. The duty of the hour he was
never able to neglect or eyale. He could not
shirk a plain political duty without crying out

course, we do not mean that he is false or
immoral But his whole life shows that he
cares very little for political principles, ana
only cul.ivates public career as means OF
that high personal qualification which intelli-
gent men find IN pOwer.G Mr. Gladstone ia not
the greatest type of statesman, but his sue
cessor ranks far below him. If Mr.. Disraell
were more considerable man, his position at
this moment might make him dangerous AS
it is, no will serve as well as another to keep
the machinery of the State in order. while the
Liberals are learning tho lesson of their dis
cOmliture.

MR. M1RSHS IRRIGATION PAPER.

Mr. Marsh's paper on Irrigation, which was
delivered up by Mr.. Commissioner Watts the
other day upon the demand of the Senate,
after he had refused it to the House, has not
yet been made public. Why not 7 1t was a
dusty tussle that Congress had with the old
gentleman on the subject, but the Senate
finally brought it. The call from the House
he paid no attention to. He was not the man
to answer the call of body of officials whose
tenure of office was a beggarly two years.
He communicates only with the Senate. He
is not to be ordered about by any House of
Representatives.
No one can read his reports on the subject
of agriculture without being impressed by the
swing of bis intellect and the stately stride
of his thought. He knows his business, and
he knew that if the House grapDled with him
on the subject of agriculture or the kindred
subject of irrigation, he could easily annihi-
late it. Hence his confidence. l
TO illustrate his grasp Of things in general,
and especially of agricultural education, we
might quote from recent work of his en-
titled Monthly Report of the Department of
Agriculture for January, 1874" matter of
two pages. showing the necessity of agricul-
tmal education, and its superiority to Ito
rary or scientific education. We might
quote these two pages entire; but 1t being

The SanbOrn contracts have finally been
explained by the Secretary of the Treasury,
and we print some additional information
relative to them to-day. The character of
these remarkable contracts explains the delay
which has attended their publication. 1t does
not now appear that there was any real occa-
sion for the hesitation claimed TO be felt
about making public the names of tho per-
sons from whom internal revenue taxes were
said to be due. But it does seem that
there has been great laxity OF administration
in the Internal Revenue Bureau The persons
who procured the contracts for collecting the
taxes claimed by the Government furnished a
large number of names of persons and corpora
tons held to be delinquent. Were they really
delinquent If they were, it is simply amazing
that the proper officers could not have known
that fact without the aid of special agents, ex-
pcnsively paid. The unpaid taxes were mainly
on SUGGESTIONS legacies, dividends, and railroad
earnings-a class of incomes and property
more easily accessible to assessors and col
lectOrs than almost any other. If these per-
sons and corporations were not delinquent,
their presentation to the Treasury Department
as such is a most unwarrantable invasion OF
private rights. The present publication of the
facts can work them no further harm. In any
event, the payment to the collectors of one
half the net proceeds collected IL piece OF
extravaganza which reflects no credit on the
economical administration of Internal Revenue
Co.

Dispatches from Philadelphia assure us of
The reelection of Mayor StOkley by decided
majority. This result is unfortunate, as it is
defeat of the candidate pledged to municipal
reform. Confusion of counsels among the
Re!ormers has wrought the disaster which was
expected by many who hoped for better things.
D.strict-AttOney Phelps is to be congratu-
lated on having discovered some means by
which the moral atmosphere about the public
schools may be purified. The evil engendered
by the infamous places complained of by
citizens OF the Eighth Ward has increased TO
alarming proportions; it is great shame
that it should envelope in its folds the children
and young people of the schools. All good
citizens will applaud an administration OF the
law which will sweep away the pest-houSes
without mercy.
Party discipline gained a striking but damag-
ing victory in the House yesterday. The con-

It is evident that tho battle of the imitation

jority in favor of more currency III we woio

tion. In this element of disoOrd is the hope

BY the death of King Lunalilo the throne
of the Hawaiian Kingdom becomes once more
vacant. LunallOs reign has been brief one

Although it is quite possible that the young
Kings early excuses have fastened his de-
mise, it is fair to take his untimcly death as
a striking example of the decadence Oh his
race The native Sandwich Islanders are fast
passing away and the question of the next
ownership of the productive and attractive
