If the present Congress could manage
to exhibit an unhesitating devotion
solely to the best interests of the country,
together with a marvellous capacity for
the swift transaction of business, it
might wind up its career with per-
feet boom. The stars would then be
prOpitiOus.-RepOsitOry.
"IfP' 1t is difficult to learn old dogs
new tricks; and equally difficult for pO-
litical leaders to abandon old ways and
adopt new and better modes. Men ac.
custOmed in public affairs to consult
only their own and individual interests
instead of the public good, are not likely
to bout face and become unselfish in
their political action.
No doubt, such sham Statesmen as
SecOr Robson, Chandler, Keifer, Page,
Jay Hubbell, and the rest, have had a
terrible lesson from the people; and
they would like to allay the storm. In
this view they are ready to adopt sur
reptitiOus ways, and resort to craft
rather than adopt honest, straight for
ward action. Such moderate reductions
of taxation as they dare not resist. they
will try to adjust so as to serve the inter
ests Of the large manufacturers whose
pecuniary contributions have heretofore
been useful to the Republican party,
and so as to leave undiminished the
huge army of Office holders by whose
assessments campaign funds are Great
ed. There are still about two years to
- n 81
election, and practical politicians" of
the RObesOn and Hubbell type will do
their utmost to prevent any serious i'm
pairment of the resources from which
they expect to draw the sinews of war.
The disreputable element in the Re.
publican party will not favor any great
salutary reform such as is recommended
in the Presidents message. The leaders
think they would utterly ruin the party.

REDUCING TAXES,

Seems to be agreed upon all round, but
we observe great diversity of opinion
among Congressman. Some would have
a curtailment Of receipts brought about
exclusively by a lowering Of tariff du-
ties; Mr.. FOlger, in his Treasury
report, would cut down the in
ternal revenue to some extent, yet
would make changes in the tariff the
principal source of shrinkage; while the
President recommends that all internal
taxes, save those imposed upon distilled
spirits, be abolished, and, at the same
time (not perceiving, apparently, the
ineompatibility of his suggestiOns,) that
the tariff be so revised as to enlarge the
free list, and to sensibly reduce the du-
ties on other articles. Whatever is
done, the curtailment should be suffi-
cient. This thing Of a large surplus OF
revenue is all wrong, expressing the
people and endangering business.
According to Secretary FOlger, the to-
tai revenue of the Federal Government
for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1888,
will be $415, 100000. The total expendi-
lures, including the provision for the
sinking fund, and the payments on ac-
count of the pension swindle, will be
in round numbers 1889, 9,442,OOO. This
should give at the end of the curren
fiscal year surplus of $75,57S,OOO.
This session of Congress must provide
for the fiscal year beginning July l.,
1888, and If no curtailment of taxes
should be made, a similar surplus would
come the next fiscal year. The trouble
is, that an over-abund Inee of money in
the Treasury leads to all manner of jobs
and corruption. We hope to see thor
Ough reform. Cut down the revenues;
curtail expenses; compel economy in all
directions. This government was not
formed to benefit few persons and rob
the masses of the people; but to 'estab-
lish justice and secure the blessings of
liberty" This means equal opportuni-
ties and equal taxation.

As indicated by later dispatches yes
terday, the State Canvassing Board has
changed its decision somewhat relative
to the returns from the various Con-
gressiOnal districts. In the Eighteenth
the Eve votes returned from COlumbiana
county for Jonathan Wallace, and also
the two votes returned for j. H. Wallace,
as for Jonathan II. Wallace, leaving Nc
Kinley majority of one in the district,
thus awarding him the certificate Of
election. 1t Is stated that the Board is
still in doubt as to its alleged judicial
functions, but have so far resolved this
doubt as to count the votes having the
initial letter of the Christian names of
the several candidates. In this, possibly,
the Board has slightly exceeded the
scope of it's ministerial duties, so far, at
least, as to take cOgnizance, to limited
extent, of what Judge Thurman desig-
mates as the presumptiVe evidence in
the case, not going so far, however, as
to count votes which manifestly would
require substantiating evidence to make
the intent Of the voter clear. But as yet
we see no reason why the Board should
not have adhered to what was announced
as its first deeisiOn.-RepOsitOry, 9th.
OF course the Rep. would prefer eight
should have been the declared majority
rather than ONE. And, truly, when the
Board opened the door and was governed
in their action by the plain intent of
the voter, it is difficult to see how they
could stop where they did. The votes
for major Wallace" and for Maj. Wal
Lace were plainly intended for. JOna-
than H. Wallace, for his usual cognOmen
in COlumbiana county is "MajOr Wal
lace" By this he is known and con-
stantly saluted. By this ruling the
Board counted in also Murray and War
ner, Democrats, and Morsy, Republican.

THE Tariff Commission, though strong
for reduction, find the existing tariff SO
full of denominations, that they recon-
mend 20 per cent reduction, and In some
cases more.
This is confession worthy of consid-
Grafton and remembering. Here are
tariff men admitting the iniquity that
has been expressing the people, and
that the Democratic party has been de-
nouncing as a swindle for long years.

TAXATION AND WHO OPPOSE ITS
REDUCTION.

The vote in the Committee on Ways
and Means last week is an answer to
the suppOsitiOns of the Republican press
and Washington specials, that the DEM
Ocrats will impede the reduction of
taxation at this session. The vote in
Committee, on reporting a bill repeal
ing every form of the tax on tobacco,
one Of the most oppressive and unequal
of the internal taxes, stood six to five,
four Democrats and two Republicans
voting for repeal, and four Republicans
and one Democrat against. Mr.. MOrri-
son of Illinois, was the only Democrat
against repeal, and he is an advanced
revenue refOrmer, and insists on mOdi-
flying the tariff, making Substantial
reductions" as Arthur and FOlger rec
Ommend, before cutting down internal
taxation. Messrs. Randall and Carlisle
the leading Democratic candidates for
the Speakership, both supported the re-
pealing bill.
If this vOteIin Committee is indiea-
tive of the sentiment in Congress, the
Republican majority gwill not reduce
taxation much thfs session. The trouble
is they would thus, dismiss a couple of
thousands of useless officials, and that
they don't want, nor do the OfficehOldeTs
want it. President Arthur says if all
the internal. taxes but that on whisky
are cut off, two and half millions can
be saved on the expenses of the revenue
bureau, and 1900 or 1000 useless Off
cials be retired from Office. Gen. Garfield
some years ago, in discussing the reduc
tion of public expenditures, said it could
only be done effectively by party in
opposition to that having possession of
the executive departments of the Gov
ernment. All this, therefore, will
probably be left for the Democratic pru-
ming knife, as intimated by General
Garfield.

The favored capitalists will try and in

patch from st. Louis, setting forth that
the largest tobacco factory in that city
has been closed, and that 1000 people
are likely to, be thrown out Of employ
ment. "Owing to the agitation in Con-

tobacco tax" If Congress is going to

Republican party is now reduced to the
necessity of undOing its own work; and
itknOws not where to begin, though ad-
