THE END.

When the Jury was finally discharged yes
tcrday, one of the counsel for the plaintiff is
reprcsented as venting his delight in an cXcla-
nation, which certainly seems rather odd
when we consider what lie was rejoicing
at. He and his associates had just fin
jshed a labor of six months only to
find it useless. Their client had riskcd
evervtbing-family, fortune, reputation, peace
of mind-to crush his adversary, and the dis
charge of the jury was the announcement of
his failure. Yet he has good cause for salts
faction that the result was no worse. He has
broken up his home and discarded his wife
Gor we must remember that whether she is
innocent or guilty he clung TO her until ii be-
came necessary to east her OIL Ill order
TO strike BeechcD; he has sacrificed the
GOOD opinion of the world and we suppose he
has spent his last dolar-all this for nothing
but if Mr.. Beechcr had been triumphantly
acquitted Tilton would have gone down into
an abyss of ruin and infamy without CLEAN
of hope. That fate he has-pcrhaps-escaped,
and it is only to save him from that fate that
his counsel have recently been fighting.
Whatever further legal proceedings may
grow out of the case, it is not probable that
the SUIT for damages will ever be tried again.
All the evidence that Tilt0n can ever produce
has been put forth; the letters of the defend
ant have been read, and Mr.. Bcccher has been
submitted to the most searching cross-exam-
ination. The plaintiff cannot make his
case any stror ger second time than it
was the first. And it is a significant fact
that the jury divided only upon question of
the credibility of certain witnesses. All seem
TO have agreed that Mr.. Beecher's letters,
which caused so much pain and ombarrass-
ment to his friends, were capable of an innO-
cent explanation or at any rate did not prove
the guilt which TiltOn alleged. Three of the
twelve, however, could not bring themselves to
say that Mrs. MOultOn sworc falsely, and one of
the threo was an acQuaintance-sOme say a
friend Mrs. Moulton's husband. Consid-
ering everything it does seem as if Tilton had
made very narrow escape, while the friends
of Mr.. Beecher have good reason to regard the
end of the trial as substantial justification
of the confidence they have repOsed in their

for the nations glory.
And yet the energy of celebration Is not
altogether gone What sweet regiments OF

"'tIs of thee!" How many of the rustical Will

Finally, if cannon must be fired, we would
call attention to the fact well known to MI

the salute may facilitate your return in

There is nothing in the Constitution which re-
quires a man, even upon the Fourth, to burn

do it with discretion. Abandon yourself to

real, rousing, genuine Fourth of next year;

NOW PEOPLE CELEBRATE.

The tendency Of holiday keepers is, doubtless,
to OyerdO the merry matter Who can count
the sorrows which will follow the Fourth fes-
tiyites! the next morning headaches OF the
great, the leg-aches of the little ones, the
stomachc difficulties which succeed an excess
of patriotism As we toll. with much
perspiration, through heap of news
papers from all quarters, we grow
hotter in reading of the Orations to be
delivered and of the fireworks to he let off.
There is an enterprising man in Springfield,
Mass, who runs park, and who has prepared
a programme of pleasure filter for January
than July-fOOt races, tub races, scull races,
sack races, goose races, potato races, three
legged races, horse races, walking races, and all
manner of races of which bipeds and qladru-
pcds are capable. a man must love his cOlin-
try very much thus to celebrate in the sweat
not only of his brow but of his whole body.
The old-fashoncd Fourth of July oratory, we
can remember, was OF the muscular sort, de-
livcred at a high pitch and with much
work for the arms and not a little
for the legs. How the old meeting
house used to be packed full of scething,
roasting broing audience, and how the ladies
did fan themselves in the gallery set apart for
them Are there any such FourthS now We
doubt. The bells at sunrise do not ring so
mcrry pretending to wake the boys who
have been wide awake all night. The guns
are not 50 loud as they used to be; the flags
do not Haunt 80 byavcly; the ginger-pOp is
not 50 hot in the mouth the soldiery have
grown dull; the music, does it make our
hearts %eat quicker as of old ? The

rare bird indeed.

TO George Washington, with beautiful apOs

to the Lion. There was school of OratOry
then, energetic, iguiatiye and ferOciOus-and
it is gone forever. Mostly the orators now
are terribly afraid of being laughed at, and so
they are proper and tame and precise and
keep a maltingale upon metaphor. They
have the old feelings, but shrink from
letting them out. Once orators were nObly
absurd, and were not ashamed II

SifIrGGLING IND SENTIMENT

Tho oxnosures of revenue frauds coming
close upon each other within few weeks have
attracted much attention. The Grape fraids'
rpon rcappraising the invoices, showed fewer
Instances of undervaluatiOn than had been
apticipated. The diamond smuggling case IN
wolves a value of less than $4,000. Inc
silk smuggling frauds, extending over several
wears, and involving many individuals, are es-
timated to have caused loss of $1,OOO,OOO
to the revenue; but the data on which this
estimate il founded are at best obscure. There
is not in all these facts text to justify free
traders in preaching sermon on the corrup-
tion engcndered by high tariffs, nor occasion
for sensitive mOralists to wiring their hands
over the degeneracy of these latter days. A
peep into the blue books of quarter OF
century ago will show us how far Englishmen
have surpassed us in this bad cminencc. 1t
appears in evidence before Parliamentary COM
missions that very nearly one-half OF all the
French silks imported into Great Britain in
1910 paid no duty. The loss of revenue in
one year OH smuggled French brandy was
estimated at over $2,OO0,OOO; and before
comparing this with our own revenue frauds
we must consider the difference i'll the value
of money at the two periods, which much IN
creases the contrast.
If we compare popular sentiment on this
subject in our own and other countries, we
shall be still more encouraged. In Spain,
smuggling is principally question of division
with officials, and Gibraltar is said to have
been more profitable to Eng!ishmen as depot
for illicit importations than to England as a
rock of defense Smuggling is Legendary on
&c tbn oil
brought up to it as the sole business of lifc
and entire hamlets find in it their means OF
support. In England there were for many
Years stock companies exclusively engaged IN
smuggling. The men who carried on these
enterprises mingled with other merchants, and
bought and sold goods on the exchange; there
was an understood tariff, lower than that OF
the Government, on the illicit invoices, and
underwriters were found ready to insure them.
Looking over the names of those who are
implicated by the recent exposures, we may
further assure ourselves that smuggling Is not
an American vice. Nearly all the dirty work
seems to have been done by Foreigners and
aliens The exceptional case, which includes
some of our most respectable merchants has
not vet been tried. We hope it will not be
long delayed, and that they will soon vindlcate
their fair fame. We can frame some excuse
for Europeans, nurtured in society that IS
lcnient TO this form of crime, and under gov
ernments in which the private citizen has no
voice But in this country, where the people
are the Government its officers their servants,
its laws their will, the thief who steals from
the public purse is entitled to no more favor
than if he were caught picking pockets Oh rob-
bing a shOpkeeper's till.

The last of this series of concerts was given
ON Wednesday afternoon by Mr. s. r. Warren. whose pro-
grammc comprised a Fantasia and Fuguc In q minor

Tho technical difficulties OF this piece and the

brief but an extended practice. In his six months
of office his vigorous methods of practice have saved
many valuable laws from apparently fatal attacks,
have eradicatcd dangerous symptoms from Others,

Better discipline and efficiency seem to be
