THE CONFESSIONS.
[Chicage Tribune.1


The Tariff Commission bin was taken
up and passed by the Senate yesterday
precisely as it came from the House. 1t
now goes to the President for his sigma
ture, which it viii undoubtedly receive.
tsThe affidavit for a continuance" will then
be in form complete. The next step viii
be the appointment of the nine Commits
sioners. Mr.. Arthur 10 New York City
man, and has heretofore been. controlled
by the importers of that city. If they have
not lost their influence. the commission
will be composed Of representative men
who can comprehend the wants of con-
ficting in terests. But the President takes
so small an interest in public questions
and is so largely occupied in social pleas
ures and duties that it is feared that he
may leave the choice of the commissioners
to members of his Cabinet. John r. Ly-
decker who is a constant visitor at the
White House. may be one of the number,
but beyond this the President may have no
choice in the matter. In the person Of
Secretary Folger he fortunately has an adj
wiser who is saturated with revenue reform
ideas. So far as Folger's influence extends,
it will be good. Conkling, however, il
his campaign speeches mean anything, is q
bigoted protectionist, and Gambler, FIRE.
linghuysen, and Brewster are of the same
school The current of talk in Washing
ton indicates that the authors of the Com
mission bill had satisfactory assurances
that the experts selected to revise the tariff
would be satisfactory to them.

PROHIBITION.

Kansas has had one years experience in
constitutional and total prehibitionland it
would be well for Iowa to profit a little
by her example, Strangers in the state
and candid men pronounce it a most mag
nifcent failure. The law has not only cut
off immigration, but has driven capital
out of the state. In some places the pros
eeutions for violation of the law have fail
ed. because of the very rigorous nature of
the law. The open saloons were a plain
fact, but when the trials came on they
were marked by perjury on one side and a
signal failure of proof on the other. In
Leavenwerth, Atchison, Topeka, Wichita,
Fort Scott and the large cities of the state,
the traffic is carried on openly and above
board, and prosecutions have been only
an expense to the counties. In Topeka.
the capital, liquor is openly Sold beneath
the very nose of st. John and he is power
less to prevent it. The Topeka chief of
police is president of the Liquor Mems
Prtective association, and associations are
sp1inging up all over the state to defeat
the law. There never was so much liquor
sold in Kansas as at the present time. The
public funds formerly yielded by licenses
are gone, and the citizens of towns and
cities are compelled TO make up the def
cheney in the revenues by extra taxes--and
this, too, while more liquor. is sold and
drank than under the old license system.
That is about the figure of it in Kansas,
and Iowa is state where it would be
much worse. But nevertheless she win
doubtless vote for it.

THE FENIANS.

The claim is made, with a good show OF
TRUTH that the late assassination was the
work of Fenians, and leading Fenians in this
country have given color and form to tn is
idea, for, although they have not yet openly
acknowledged it, yet Grove, of Peoria, the
the crime, and O'Donavin Rosa is even
more outspoken. He declares that nothing
is more certain than that 'the deed wasnet
done by those milk and water land leaguers
who pirate to us of freeing ireland without
striking blow" Here he shows the Fen
ian contempt for the tactics of the Land
League and also shows, as he has often
stated before, that assassination was q
Feniar method. He further says:
This blow now has been struck by some
men. H they happen to be Irishmen who
feel the wrongs of the country and would
right them or avenge them by desperate
means, they shall have no word of condem
nation from us. They have dared the peril
of doing it, they are on the spot where the
wrongs of the tyrant are inflicted and felt,
and there is no fear that we are going to
join the dastardly crowd Of politicians here
who rush forward with their resolutions OF
Indignation 1t is wen to understand
that it was not the mild-mannered. Lord
Cavendish, that was killed; it was the
Chief Secretary of England and Ireland,
the chief agent of the English tyranny and
robbery in ireland. And perhaps, too, he
was killed on account of being in bad com
pany, for this Burke that was killed with
him was about the slimiest toad living He
was Ferster's instructor. It was he who
used to point out where arrests were to be
made, and who were to be arrested, and It
was he who was to determine when man
was sufficiently civilized in prison to have
him released. 1t was he who was in the
castle when we were arrested in 1858, and
again in 1865, and, as some kilograms say
to day, he was esthe real governor of Ire
land" which he was so far as coercing,
arresting, and releasing men was concern
ed.
Rosa is leading Fenian, and until that
society comes forward and repudiates his
wild utterances. they will always be sus-
pected of the crime.

THE REpU1IrcAN IDEA.

An article from the Commercial AdDer-
tiser is presented this morning as being
both amusing and instructive. 1t can
hardly be called plea for civil service
reform; in fact it partakes of an exactly
contrary nature; and its plan for uniting
the republican party by giving the half
breeds the offices is not new. But the
manner 10 which the claims OF editors
presumably half-breed editers-a are urged
for share inthe flesh pots of Egypt is in
genious.. 1t is certainly the republican
view

FORTY DOLLAR pRuNKs.

Mike Burke is a tough customer. Mike
has a bad habit, and grave fears are enter
tanned that Mike will never mend his ways.
The readers of the ARGUS will remember
the instruction raised on the river packet
Dubuque, some thirteen or fourteen years
ago, when the crew of inoffensive rousta-
bonts were pitched overheard, and made
to swim for their lives, and if they ventur-
ed to show their heads they were
the target of sundry Jumps of coal, flying
from the hands of a gang of roughs, who
terorized the passengers, caused the death
of some, and had things their own way
generally. One Lynch was the ring lead
er, and jolly Mike Burke will insist that
he is that same Lynch. Mike is no sooner
out of the clutches of the law
than he deluges himself with
poor whiskey, and is in again.
He was gathered in on Wednesday, and
charged with being a 'tplain drunk" be-
fore Justice Finger, yesterday. The len
lent dispenser of justice thought he might
as well give Mike good dose. and be rid
OF him for while. He assed him forty
one dollars and costs. but the interest on
Mixes Government bonds was not quite
due, SO he will repose in the county jail for
the next thirty days.
Alex. MeMullen is q twin brother of
Mike, in SO far as an undying love for
"Old Bourbon is concerned. Likewise
the soft -harted Justice decided it was about
as well to keep Alex. out of mischief unit
the grain begins to ripen and harvest would
be here. Aieck will recuperate in the
domicile of criminal correction for the
next thirty days, in consequence of an in
ability to pay an assessment of forty dol
lars and costs.
/ No doubt they would receive longer
confinement, were.it not that the majesty
of the law dislikes to interfere with an
unrestrained and glorious celebration OF
the anniversary Of national independence.
