An abstract of the report of the commits
sion on the revision of the tariff has been
sent out, which shows that, contrary to gene
raj expectation, the commission have arrived
at the conclusion that some very decided re-
forms in our tariff system are necessary.
Their main recommendations are for an ave-
rage reduction in rates of from 20 to % per
cent; reduction in the duty on steel rails
from $2S to $17.92 per ton; the repeal of du-
ties on charges and freight a simplification
of the schedules a reduction of the duties
on wool and woolens, and general attempt
to remedy the radical injustice of high duties
on raw materials and articles of general con-
sumption.

Col. Hooker for Secretary of the
Senate.

Ifrom Inc TOY n. ~ Ilmes'l
Col. Hooker's election to the secretaryship
of the Senate would be received with an un-
usual degree of satisfaction all over the coun-
try. The colonel is one of the most cour-
teous and polite gentlemen in official life in
Washington, and is exceedingly popular with
Senators and Representatives, as well as the
public at large. To these admirable qualities
he adds high order of intelligence, support
ed by broad and generous views on all ques-
tons Col. Hooker has our vote for the po-
sition of secretary of the Senate.

- The New York Tribune gives a very simple
recipe, which it warrants to cure the Repub-
lican party in 1884 if compounded and taken
before the 4th day of March next. 1t has
only three ingredients LIST, Reform the tar
i'll by adopting the scheme of the tariff COM
mission as a whole I'd, Abolish all internal
revenue taxation excepting on liquors and to-
bacco Sd, Pass the best measure of civil
service reform nttainable-the Pendleton bill,
probably. We think the Tribune is right in
its diagnosis, prescription, and confidence in
a cure.

Shall the RepubIIean Par.y DI.bana


Has the time at length arrived when there
is warrant for affirming that the Republican
party has outlived its usefulness and ought to
disband2 In view of the results of the late
election in all that they plainly imply, we an
swer emphatcally in the negative. Rather
obviously parties do not die so long as they
remain healthy. The defeat of the bosses
in this state and Pennsylvania attests the
moral vigor of the dominant Republicanism
of to-day. An organization that is equal to
working out its own salvation must be sound
at the core, however it may be at the rind.
1t may stand in need Of counsel, reproof and
varied criticism, but it does not stand in need
of an undertaken; and therefore it is arrant
foolishness to say that the Republican party
has reached the end of its mission. Prob
lens are now pressing to the fore only less
important than those it has already solved.
Ciyil-seryice reform, taxation, the tariff, how
to revive ship-building, capital and labor, the
supervision of corporate power-such are
some Of these problems. To mention them
is to indicate their size and seriousness. They
are worthy the best energies of our best men.
When they are all disposed of, it will be time
enough to talk about demanding the resigna-
ton of the Republican party

The Head Money Tax on Inimi E rants.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-Seyeral of the steam ship companies have filed protests with Col lector Robertson against the imposition of the head money tax. The collector, howev- or, says there is no alternative for him but to insist upon the payment of the money. No distinction under the law is made between cabin passengers and immigrants. The Sec retary of the Treasury yesterday informed MT. Robertson that he was doing exactly right and said that the only recourse for the companies was to protest in formal way. The points made by the companies is that the treaties with certain nations prevent the i'm position of taxes and that persons are not merchandise and therefore not dutiable The law, they say also, was intended to cover steerage passengers only, who ny coming to this country to stay might become burden to the government
