Abiding to the tariff commission bill,
the New York Times thinks that it is de-
sirable that the President shall appoint
the commission as soon as possible,
that it may get to work at the
earliest moment. At best, thinks
that paper, it will not accomplish
much, and it is not likely that its re-
commentators will be very valuable,
but the testimony which it will take may
help in enlightening public opinion. 1t
certainly will do so if it be collected with
any degree of diligence and intelligence
and fairness. As to the selection of
the commission, the reported purpose Of
the President to give a majority in the
commission to moderate protectionists
il probably his real intention. 1t would
be but fair to the party which has sup
ported the bill, taking into considera-
ton the arguments on which it has been
based. At the same time, the President
can hardly fail to bear in mind that the
passage of the bill is in itself a conces-
sion Of the fact that the tariff needs re-
vision in the direction of reduction. and
it would be but simple justice that the
commission should include a strong
minority at least Of men who viii APP
proach the work with the purpose of
discovering where and how the reduc-
ton may be most wisely made.

The cardinal difficulty of all Arc

The cardinal difficulty of all Arctic
explorations appears to be that when the
ship, as inevitably must be the case, is
destroyed and the explorers take refuge
on the ice foes, the continual drift to
the southwark makes it impossible TO
make any progress toward the north.
When the Jeanette party had been
struggling northward in the ice for
week, they had drifted twenty.seven
miles further to the south than when
they started. This fact was carefully
concealed from the crew as long as there
was a prospect of reaching a north
west passage. The English Govern
ment offered 100000 to the man who
should discover it, and $4,000 to the
man that should come within one degree
of the pole, but nature appears to have
set her boundary at SO degrees 20 min
utes, and that point has only been reach
ed once, by the Mares expedition in
1875. Besides the frozen barriers of ice,
the explorer in Arctic seas has to con-
tend against unknown tides, streams and
currents, and against fogs and mists
that would be frightful in open seas.
The brave fight results in nothing, the
mystery of nature remains unrevealed.

1t is utterly useless to expect that the
New England Radical organs will ever
lay aside the hypOcritical cant that has
ever characterized them. That venerable
spinster, the Boston AdUertiser, notices
the seating of Lynch long enough to
sapiently remark: cit is no qualification
for a seat in Congress that a man is
black, nor ought it to make one ineligible.
If an honest election can be insured,
doubtless a prOpOrtiOnate number of
colored men will help make laws for us
in the future" As Massachusetts,, des-
pite her prOfessed love for the cOlored
''man and brother" has not tried the
experiment, a Boston organ should be
modest in handling the question Of
negro Legislators. On the score of fair
elections there is one negro Congressman
from the South and one Democrat from
Massachusetts. 1t looks as though 'hon-
ors are easy.

During the thirteen years-from 1868
to 1SS1-the decrease in the crop of
lambs in Great Britain and Ireland was
1929, 600, while the increase in the num-
Der of cows and heifers in milk or in
calf was in the whole kingdom only
5000. Each calf is reckoned as the
equivalent of six lambs. so the increase
in the stock of cattle falls far short of
the loss of sheep. Summing up the re-
suits of this elaborate comparison of sta
tistlcs of agricultural decline in the
kingdom, and especially in England, the
London Times says:
eve present the above statements
Illustrating the decline in agricultural
wealth and production, leaving to farm
Occupiers and their landlords to consider
how far the facts constitute an indict-
meat against their craft or only a record
of its misfOrtunes; how far the cOndi-
tions under which farming is conducted
are answerable for this failure to supply
the demand for cheaper food; or wheth.
er the seasons alone are to blame, and
no remedial measures, either legislative,
social, or commercial, need be adopted
for turning the land once more toward
pros Oerity."

DakOta's Application for statehood

On the question of the admission of
Dakota, Mr.. Vest, of Missouri, from the
minority of the Senate Committee on
Territories, recently urged that no pub
lie necessity whatever exists for the
admission Of new State in that quar-
ter. The population does not equal
Congressional ratio, ard there is no just
ground for giving the scattered and I'm
certain settlements of that territory equal
legislative weight with the five million
people in New York. He further pressed
home the repudiating principles of the
people of Dakota, who made the cause
Of the regulators of Yankton their own,
as a strong reason why they should not
be now vested with the powers of a
State. 1t is believed the scheme is for
the present under a cloud.
Abiding to this position of the Senator
from Missouri, the Republican of st.
Louis argues rightly that besides the
general and growing unwillingness of
the great States to have new class of
rotten borOughs thrust into the Union,
attention is turning to the illogical con-
situation of the Senate even as it now
stands. The tendency of late years to
lower the dignity and circumscribe the
rights of the States invites inquiry from
the clear.headed men of the country
whether there is any utility, and, above
all, any justice in a few thousand
citizens in one locality holding the
veto power over millions in another
New England Radicals, who so
vehemently assail all claims of States in
other sections to regulate their local
governments in their own way, might
usefullY consider that If only the will of
the aggregate people of the Union is to
be consulted in the government of every
part, then, beyond all question, the ag-
gregate people should be equally repre-
sented in both branches of Congress.
Either there must be nOn-interference
with local self government. as it was
originally designed by the trainers of our
system, or there must be an equitable
evening-up of power. This is an era of
inquiry. Very important powers will
not be allowed TO be held without ques-
ton and exercised without reason upon
the credit of mere tradition. Those who
wonder at the continuance of the House
of Lords may find food for reflection
nearer home.

Blaine and the South.

Certain Southern journals are making
a hero of Mr.. Blaine. and affect to make
him appear a martyr to the spite of his
enemies-particularly in the Chili-Peru
imbroglio. To the South Mr.. Blaine
should be no more than any other Radi-
cal who has figured on the stage of
American politics. When a Representa-
tive he libelled the Southern people and
sought to gain a reputation for stalwart-
ness. In fact, he invented the term
''stalwart." He has no more regard for
the South to day than he ever had, and
it would take a longer season of penance
than his brief stay in Garfeld's Cabinet
to atone for the mischief he wrought the
Southern people. He signalized his en-
trance into the Senate with a TRADE
worthy of the stump, in which he made
the most barefaced assertions as to
Southern lawlessness, and has not to
this day done or said aught to show that
he has gTown wiser or more charitable.
At the time that Arthur was making
the best of his opportunities in the New
York custom house, Mr. Blaine was
posing before the country as prosecutor
of the South at the bar of public
opinion. and he was by no meats fas-
tidious as TO the tricks he employed
to prejudice the judgment of the
North. The South owes Mr..
Blaine nothing save lively
remembrance of the efforts he made for
her detraction. Conkling reviled her in
the midst of a heated campaign, Blaine
slandered her in the quiet of "of years
to figure as the champion of the pet
theories of Radicalism-Mr. COnkling's
welfare is of little concern to her, and
Mr. Blaine's should be of less.
About all that Mr.. Blaine has done
since he quilted the Senate was to
threaten to make it warm for the British
lionin South America, and, no doubt,
he would have given Uncle Sam album
dant employment had not President Ar
thur called halt to his precious policy.
Mr.. Blaine may be the leader OF the alleged
conservative" wing of the Radical par
ty. But as that party has done about all
the harm it well can do, and is just now
divided upon the question of who shall
enjoy the plumber, it is matter of in
| difference whether the stalwarts
OF the conservatives rule the
roost; whichever wing is in the ascend
ant, the well tried machinery, plant
judges, servile juries and unprincipled
election bullies will continue to discharge
villain service for their lords and mas
tiers. Mr.. Blaine overreached himself in
the State Department. He did it with
his eyes open and deserves no sympathy,
least of all from the people to vilify
whom was once his pleasure and his cue.

The New York Sun, while sometimes
severely critical, also knows how to be
as philosophical as the next, even when
it Is dealing with one Of its pet nuisances,
the erring Robson. Thus it pays its
respects to him and his secretary: Next
to having men in power who give assur-
ance of the honest and intelligent use of
public appropriations, it is best to have
officials so notorious as jObbers that the
people won't permit them to have apprO-
priatiOns to waste. Chandler and Robe
son may not be proud of the distinction,
but their established reputation as job
bers will save the nation millions of dol
lars. Give the devil his due !"

For some weeks past the heavy i'm
ports of merchandise at the port of New
York have excited attention. Accord

the movement has been declining, and

which 50, e64 307 was general merchan-
disc, and the remainder Isl, 728, 43D dry
goods. The falling off, therefore, ap-
pears to belong chiefly to dry goods; but
the receipts of other foreign merchan-
disc were really small; this deficiency
being partly compensated for by the
liberal arrivals of sugar and coffee,
which were valued at 81, 343, 914 and

The RaIlray Age regards the action of
the Massachusetts Legislature in passing
a bill to constitute the Railroad Commits
sioners of that State tribunal to decide
upon the exigeucy of proposed rail-
ways before they are constructed
as perhaps the most sensible and
least harmful power that could be CON
ferred upon State Railroad Commits
sioners, and argues that there is, and al
ways will be, a tendency to build com
peting roads where they are not needed,
and where they will do serious injury to
other roads without corresponding bene-
fit to the public, and there ought to be
some supervision over such enterprises.
1t thinks that in the West, at least,
where the popular idea is strongly in
favor of unlimited competition among
rail ways, there is no danger that legiti-
mate and needed projects would be sup
pressed by the State Commissioners.
