REPEAL THE INTERNAL REvE-

Controlling elements 10 both Of
the great political parties of the
country demand the entire repeal OF
the internal revenue system. For

followers among the Democrats fa>

Kelley, and the protection party Of
the North, likewise propose to
sweep away the entire system. We
sincerely trust it may be done. It
will confer several advantages on
the people, and all the people: 1t
will relieve them of surplus tax of
one hundred and fifty millions per
annum, which they can use in bust

FIVE millions per annum (;
and more than all, it will relieve the
people of the system of espionage
and Government interference with
their private affairs which is so
hateful to men trained aud reared
under the blessings of free Govern
ment. 1t is true that revenues nec-
ossary to support the Government
must be raised, but this may be
done by a scientific tariff on import

entire amount collected by the in
ternal revenue system is surplus,
and the surplus taxes must be
stricken eff, either from the tariff,
or from the internal revenue, and

of them are Eastern people, though
the majority come from Chicago and
the Northwest. The Southern
country is gradually drawing the
emigrants away from the West, as
they are beginning to realize the
fact that they can get better and

MARRIAGE.

Men and women, says Theodore
Parker, and especially young peo-
pie, do not know that it take years
to marry two hearts, even of the
most loving and well.sorted. But
nature allows no sudden change.
We slope very gradually from the
cradle to the summit Ct life. Mar
riage is gradual, fraction Of us at
a time. A happy wedlOck u q long

sons think love belongs only to
Brown hair, and plump, round Grim.
son cheeks. So it does for it's be.
ginning, just as Mount Washington
begins at Boston Bay. But the
Golden marriage is a part of love
which the bridal day knows nothing
of.
Youth is the tassel and silken
flower of love, age is the full corn,
ripe and solid in the ear. Beauti-
full is the morning of love with its
prophetic crimson, violet, purple
and gold, with its hopes of days that
are to come. Beautiful also in the
evening OF love, with its glad res
membranes, and its rainbow side
turned toward heaven as we'll as
earth.
Young people marry their oppO-
sites in temper and character, and
such a marriage is generally good
one. They do it irsliuctively. The
young mau does not asy, "My black
eyes require to be we'd to blue, and
my overvehemence requires to be
little modified with somewhat of lull.
ness and reserve" When these
opposites come together to be wed,
they do not know it, but each thinks
the other just like himself.
Old people never marry their OPP
posites, they marry their similars,
and from calculation, Each of these
two arrangements is very proper.
Ia their long journey these opposites
will tall out of the way a great many
times, and both will charm the other
back again, and by and by they
will be agreed as to the place they
shall go to, an the road they will go
by aud become reconciled. The
man will be nobler and larger for be

God beside her, that seeks to cor
rect her deficiencies and supply her
with what she lacks, if the diversity
be not too,great, and there be real
piety aud love in their hearts to be-
gin with.
The old bridegroom, having a
much shorter journey to make, must
associate himself with one like bim-
self. A perfect and complete mar
risge is, perhaps, as perfect as per-
sonaI beauty. Men and women are
fractionally-now a small
fraction, hen large fraction.
Very few are married totally,
and they only, thiuk, after some
forty or fifty years of gradual APP

The PROHIBITION MOVEMENT.

The Eastern politicians have come to
the conclusion, since the prohibition
movement has assumed its present
form, that it cannot longer be ig.
nored In their calculations. The sue.
cess of the Prohibitionists at the ballot
box in Iowa their advance in Kansas; the
vigor of their opening campaign IL Indiana,
Wisconsin and Illinois their preparations
for struggle in Nebraska and Missouri /;
their reorganization in Massachusetts the
coming out Of Colquit, of Georgia, for Office
on prohibition platform of his own-all
these, and other signs, warn the political
sages of the land that prohibition is a
factor in the campaigns to cone in the
early future, that must be either
used or refused, either resisted, yielded to,
or controlled and guided. Whatever NAV
be personal beliefs and views on the sub.
ject, the signs of the times indicate that it
must be met by party managers in the
East country. 1t will be an interesting
study TO watch and make note of their
movements between tie two fires that are
about to scorch them on either hip In
short, there will be opportunity very soon
for skillful dodgers to exhibit their highest
sttainments, and it remains to be seen
whether, in the West especially, they can
duck their heads fast enough to avoid col.
lision with prohibition beams.

TIE NATIONAL EXPENSES.

The total appropriations for the General
Government for the fiscal year 1888 exceed
those for 1882 by SIS. 600, 900. OF this
sum. however, $50, 600, 600 is due to the
Pension bill, though it is clearly no defense
of the extravaganza of Congress to point
this out, since the passage of the Pension
bill was itself altogether unjustiiable. The
increased appropriations, as shown in our
dispatches of yesterday, have been distri-
buted over almost every department of the
General Government. The River and Hsr-
Dor bill accounts for nearly So, 900, 900 of
the whole amount, and no item but that
marked miscellaneous ia smaller than last
years. In two years, in fact, the general
appropriations have increased to the
amount of 500. 600, 600, and the cause of
this access OF extravagance is sufficiently
apparent. Congress has had great surplus
revenue to deal with. The Treasury has
been full and overfowing, and the system
of taxation which was only adapted to war
the debt is SO nesrly paid off, it brings in so
much more money than is really needed as
to act as direct temptation to lavish and
unnecessary expenditures. 1t is useless to
say that Congress ought not to have laid
its hands upon tbs surplus revenue
No legislative body in these times could
be trusted to keep its hands off
under such circumstances. The real
fault is the peoples. They ought to have
paid heed to the many warnings given
them. They should have insisted upon
the reduction of taxation so as TO dispense
altogether with a surplus revenue. 1t is,
however, the direct fault of Congress that
much of the money appropriated has not
been appropriated with more judgment.
Thus next to nothing has been done for the
Notifications, or for the navy yet it is no.
torioas that in both these particulars the
country is dangerously defenseless. Half
the enormous sum to be expended upon
pensions tof which pensions probably Is
per cent. at least are fraudulent) would
have given us the nucleus of a genuine
navy. and have put our principal harbors
in condition of defense. But Congress
could not be brought to see the urgency Of
these matters, and therefore it will be Sc
much the more difficult to defend its course
during the session JUST ended. 1t remains
to be seen now, also, whether the people
will approve Of the great and rapid increase
of the appropriations, or whether they will
continue to think it possible to put an end
to such extravagancss by merely changing
their representatives. If they decide upon
the latter course, aad make no move to.
wards reduction of taxation, we may
safely predict that the appropriations for
1884 will be still larger than those for 1888.

irving and others. This index reference
will give fair idea of the scope of the
work. As to its character, we may say
that we opened the volumes with many
grave doubts of Mrs. ELEPHANTS ability to
deal with the subject. These were not
wholly dispelled on perusal, but were in
great part, for the author has confined the
work 10 historic statement rather than
commentary. Her aim has been rather to
give as fully as she might his
tory OF the new departures, in
poetry above all, in criticism, in nc.
ton, and, to the extent of her ability.
to indicate those which have occurred in
history and philosophy. We quote her
own words here, because we believe she
has very nearly accomplished the task she
set before herself:
Ny aim has been to set forth the remarkable out
burst of new and noble genius by which the END Of
last century and the beginning of our own was dis
tinguished, and made into great and individual
age IN literature. 1t is hard TO cut the line clear
across all these intertwinings of human life and
hlenee by which one generation links itself to an
other and consequently the story will be found TO
overlap the boundaries both Sides now going too
lar BACK, now reaching toe far forward. The kind
and sympathetic reader will see how this comes
about, and how the uneven lines of life cut
SO Sadly short, some holding their course up to

We look upon Mrs. Oliphsnt's venture

much kindness. Her work, without being
great, is useful.
