The Fishery Award.

In response to a Senate resolution, adopted
some weeks since, the President has trans
mitted to Congress copies of the correspond
ence between Great Britain and our own
country, regarding the appointment of the
third member of the Fishery Commission
seems to be nothing in the circumstances of
the appointment which could in any way re-
fleet on the British government, nor afford
our own any grounds for evading submission
to the award of five million five hundred
thousand dollars damages, as provided by
the decision of the commissioners. While
it is doubtless true that the vast majority Of
the American people, especially those best
informed on the subject regard this sum as
simply exorbitant, nevertheless it is the
opinion of the ablest lawyers of the country
particularly those who are considered the
best authority on international law, that the
government of the United States is bound
by law and honor to pay the award. Having
agreed to submit the question to arbitra
ton, the country should abide by the result,
no matter how disagreeabe it may be.
Nevertheless, one can hardly avoid the
thought, as an exchange suggests, that the
commissioners, instead of estimating the
actual Inconvenience suffered by the inhab-
itants of the Dominion through the visits of
our fishermen, contented themselves with in
quiring how much remained unpaid by our
government to claimants under the Geneva
award. The object seemed to be to get back
to the British government whatever excess
remained after sa isfying the more unques-
tionable of the claims made for damages
done by the Alabama and other pirates,
Hence the award made by this commission
nearly uses up what our courts have not yet
paid to shipowners and navigators for losses
suffered If this were actually true, is there
any honorable mode of redress? Fairly sub
mitted, why are we not firmly bound by the
decision of the umpire?

That Income Tax.

The formal decision of Judge Blatchford,
in the income tax case of Samuel j. Tilden,
having been made public, we are able to get
at its real import Mr.. Tilden's counsel in
terposed demurrer TO the effect that, as
Mr.. Tilden had paid all the taxes assessed,
a bar had been erected against the contin-
uance of the suit. The demurrer was sus-
tanned by Judge Blatchford so far as the tax
for 1861 was concerned. The remaining
counts of the complaint charge that Mr.,
Tilden failed to pay income taxes amount
ing to Sl31 S0250 between 1862 and 1872,
the district attorney maintaining that the
act of the assessor was ministerial not judi
cial, and not binding upon the government
or the person assessed. Assistant District
Attorney Sherman argued that the decision
in the case of the Dollar Savings Bank,
upon which the defence relied, was in reality
fatal to their case Judge Blatchford said
that it was unnecessary to continue the ar
gument, and his mind was made up with
regard to the applicability of that decision.
lie said the statue was decisive 1t meant
that the tax of five per cent. was to be
levied upon the income and not upon what
the assessor said was the income. He added
that he was able to decide the case at once,
but AS it was of great Importance he preferred
to give formal written decision, which he
has now made public. 1t will be left for
jury to decide how much Mr.. rilden must
pay. The case will probably go to the
supreme court

Abetting the ROgues.

Blaine aud Company seem to have sue
ceeded in doing indirectly what they failed
to do directly, by inducing the Senate to go
back on Secretary Schurz in his war upon
the timber thieves. The bill passed by the
Senate Friday, nomiualy to prevent depre-
dations upon the public lands, reduces the
appropriation for the discovery and punish
ment of trespassers to five thousand dollars,
and provides that no timber shall be seized,
unless it is destined for expectation. The
reduction of the appropriation to five thou
sand dollars is intended to embarrass the
prosecution of the suits now pending. These
suits are very numerous. The practice of
robbng the government lands has gone on
80 long with impunity, that it was car
ried on openly, and many persons were
found engaged in these depredations. Sec
rotary Schurz says the appropriation will
not suffice to prepare the testimony for trial
in the cases now pending. On the other
hand, the new provision is intended to pre-
vent any further discovery aud punishment
of the thieves, since no timber can be seized
until it arrives at port of export, and
there it will be difficult to identify it AID
prove that it came from government lands.
The bill practically repeats the law prohibit
ing the pilage of the public lands. The
Senate exhibits itself to the country in the
attitude of shielding the timber thieves, and
making their occupation safe if not lawful.

A Harmful RecOiI.

We entirely agree with "A contemporary in
saying that rarely, if ever, has a United
States Senator of any party made more ILL
Judged or foolish exhibition of himself than
that presented by Mr.. Howe, of Wisconsin,
last week, in his attack upon the President
and Secretary Schurz. His speech was ex-
ceedingly undignified and abusive, and
neither justified nor excused by any provo
cation on the part of those whom he as
sailed. 1t was an appeal, dd cdptdnium rut-
gus, to prejudice and passion, and unrc-
deemed by one statesmanlike word. His
sheer at Mr.. Schurz for his connection with
in Europe in 1913, which made it necessary
for him to flee to the United States, is worthy
only of the lips of demagogue, who meas
ures the value to himself Of any government
by the amount of political patronage which
it enables him to control. If MIR. Howe
imagines that the American people have
sunk SO low that they will endorse such an
attack upon the President, and upon mem
Der of the Cabinet who is struggling to pre-
vent the spoliation of the national domain
by thieves, he will find himself mistaken.
If honorable Senators do not come to the
defence of the assailed parties, it will only
be because they see that Mr.. Howe's blum
derbuss has failed to inflict serious injury
upon anybody besides himself. As an argu-
ment the speech is hardly worthy of atten-
ton, while its spirit and intent consign it to
the level of mere stump Grafton. 1t is
another illustration of the demoralzing iu-
Huence of "machine" politics, and of the
pressing need of the reforms which the Presi-
dent, under the most trying circumstances,
is honestly laboring to accomplish.

SMITH AND BRowN.-The kindred of the
late Gerrit Smith complained that Mr., Froth-
ingham, in his admirable biography of that
distinguished man, had misrepresented him
in the matter of his relations with John
Brown. Their objections led to thorough
investigation, which resulted in showing
beyond all question that Mr., Smith had full
knowledge of Browns general plan for free
ing slaves and defending them, if necessary
by force and arms and that, with this un.
derstanding, he gave money to aid in carry
ing the plan into effect. lie did not know
anything of Browns purpose to attack the
United States Arsenal at IIarper's Ferry !;
nor is it probable that Brown formed that
purpose many days before its execution,
since even his sou was ignorant of it. On
this circumstance hinged all Mr.. Smiths
denials Of completely with Brown. Mr..
buckingham is substantially indicated, as
Mr.. Smiths family and friends are compel
led TO admit, and the memoir, after some
slight changes required to meet the demands
of strict accuracy, will probably be put again
into the market,

A Timely Movement.

The English section of the Evangelical
Alliance has undertaken to repeat at Paris
this year during the exposition the nterna-
tional Christian work that was so success
fully carried on there at the last exposition.
The French government Chat is, the govern
ment of Catholic nation) has very cordi-
ally invited it TO do so, and has placed all
possible facilities at its disposal. In 1867
English services were conducted ON Sundays
and on week days, and the gospel was
preached in various European languages
1t was estimated that over one hundred
thousand people attended these services, and
that thus the opportunity was offered, as
never before, to spread knowledge of evan
gelca truth over Europe. This year the
French have placed most eligible piece OF
land, on moderate terms, at the disposal of
the alliance the lot Immediately fronts the
grand entrance to the Frocadero, and a
building capable of seating six hundred per-
sons is being erected. Adjoining this is a
room capable of holding fifty persons, to be
used as a sale de lecture for small meetings
and for purposes of correspondence. The ex.
pense of the ground, building and of carrying
on the meetings is estimated at ten thousand
dollars. This is being raised by subscrip-
ton. This is, thus far an English move
ment, but there is no reason why America
should not take part in it ; and we make the
suggestion that it might be well to send
Messrs. Moody and Sankey to ofIiciate in
the new building. 1t would not begin to
accommodate the crowds who would flock
to hear them, but the French government
has offered 10 the Evangelical Alliance tn,
great hall of the exhibition for occasona
religious reunions. There is no doubt tina
services conducted by Moody and Sankey
would be one of the great features of th,
international assembly and be productive o
much good. Perhaps it might correct SOM
of the French notions regarding religion
movements. The Partisan editor has n,
more conception of religion than he has o
geography. Not long ago one of them CAV
his readers this piece of news "They hay
new kind of religion in America a ma
name Moody tells little anecdotes to a crow
of people, and one Sankey sings songs, lik
the cafe chdntdnf"

SPECIE REsUMPTIoN.-Unless Secretary
Sherman is greatly mistaken, the resump-
ton of specie payments will be accomplished
by the end of the present year without any
very serious difficulty, provided Congress in
terferes no further with the natural order
and tendency of affairs. We certainly hope
his anticipations may be fulfilled, as the
measure in question is indispensable to the
prosperity of the country. The signs, to
our apprehension, are more favorable now
than they have been at any other time since
the beginning of the panic. The people
have formed habits of economy and caution
that will operate as check hereafter to
reckless speculation, and surely, even if
slowly, better days are coming. We do not
forget the efforts to organize a political
party upon the basis of the widest theories
of finance that ever found Judgment in
the human brain; but we think the attempt
has already about exhausted itself, and that
ere long the friends of sound currency will
be found acting together for the resistance
of all such wild schemes,
