Removnls From Omee.

The statistics contained in the Presidents
message regarding removals furnish some in
teresting facts to the people of this country,
many of whom have been made to believe by
the misrepresentation of portion of the
press that the President has done little else
than remove men from Office. 1t is cold
facts such as these that will bring honest
people to realization of the fact that
they have been imposed upon. The
truth of the matter is, and the records
Of the departments prove the assertion
that President Arthur has made fewer
removals by very large per cent. than did
his predecessor. Now that this fact is made
so plain that it cannot be gainsaid, will that
portion of the so-called independent press
which has so persistently misrepresented the
President in this respect have the decency
and fairness to admit the injustice they have
done him

Tie Recent Presidential ELECTION.

The result of the contest for the Presidency
between ex-Secretary BLAINE and Hon. L. c.
HoUK of Tennessee, is already well known
to the country. For time there was doubt
at to the result, but the official count showed
very handsome majority for the gentleman
from Tennessee. There seems to be some
anxiety in regard to the policy which will be
adopted by the newly-electod President. As
usual, cabinet rumors are flying thick, If
not fast. The so-called independent
press is warning President HoUK that
his administration will be u hopeless
failnre unless he calls about him such men as
HALsrEAD, REID, MEDGLL, SMITH, and
JoaEs and strong intimations are madei to
the affect that if this advice goes unhecded
Mr., REID will assault the administration in
double-leadcd BREWER, and that his assaults
will bs reiterated by the other eminent print
ers named. OF course the new President is
worried. AS he throws his electric eye down
the pathway of time President HoUK secs
strewn the wrecks of various administrations
that were wrecked by these administration
wreclSers. That he should hesitate to merit
the wrath of these great men is not surpris-
ing. He will doubtless go slow.
THE REPUBLICAN does not wish to intrude
| its advice, but it ventures to voice the feeling
of large number of people in offering the
suggestion that President HoUK could do no
handsomer thing than to offer the first place
in his cabinet to his defeated opponent
Make Mr.. BLAINE Secretary of State. He
and his friends have long desired that he
might have a chance to show this country what
a really red-hot, sizzling foreign policy is
| They assure us that before the next fourth of
July Mr. BLAINE would rs premier, give us
a foreign policy that would require week to
celebrate that anniversary in proper manner.
The sky-rocket makers are unanimous in
favor of President UoUK adopting this
policy, and the soda-fountain owners are not
less enthusiastic.
THE REPUBLICANh has none but the kindliest
feelings for Mr.. BLAINE, yet it has not APP
proved his notions of foreign policy, but it
is almost persuaded to favor the selection of
Mr.. BLAINE for the premiership by President
HoUK. 1t is a great pity to have a brilliant
foreign policy going to waste

A L.nnt nnn.,nr


The New York press, in the main, has
ceased to be cosmopolitan. 1t is no longer
national in its scope II has become local
and sectional. Its secs no farther than the
boundaries of its own port. Tho mists of
Sandy Hook blend with the fog OF tho Hud-
son and obscure the vision of the ordinary
New Yorker. Because there must needs bo
port Of entry for the occan-carrying trade
New York has grown into the conceit that il
is the country and the country is an append
age 1t is hard for that locality 60 realize
that without the country back OF Il there
would bo no city of New York and no metro
politan press.
This trait of character is evidenced in the
attitude of the New York press toward ma
tonal legislation. There is n profound fail
uro to discover or to comprehend when
pointed out tho requirements of other sections
of the country Even when New York in
terests would be benefited by the development
of other sections the New York mind of
the present day too often fails to see and real
ize it. Whether it is the tariff, or banking,
or internal improvements or what the inter
est involved, there is dcplorable lack of
breadth Of thought in tho New York press.
Tho range of vision is turned back by the
Allcghanies, and HENDRtCK HUDSON bowls
away on the heights OF the Catsllills as un-
molcstcd as ever was Rrp VAN WINKLE in
the most somnolont period Of his soourn in
| the mountains.
This sectional tendency is becoming more
and more noticeable, and is the subject of gen.
cral remark in the West Tho circulation of
the New York dailios is becoming circrm-
scrbed Western enterprise fanks them.
| New York is no longer the sole seat of COM
mercial sovereignty. Chicago and the West
| divides the domain and sways another
scepter As the West grows the New York
conception of the republic shrinks. Local
| topics crowd out national issues in the edi-
torial columns of our Gotham contemporaries,
and national topics are treated from a narrow
standpoint.
All this foreshadows change. New York
thought is no longer rcgnant in shaping our
national destiny. Other sections of the Union
claim their own. As Washington has become
the center ofpolitical thought and party organ
| izations, so also have other sections of the
| Union-the South, the West, and the Pacific
! States--come forward to their places in the
autonomy of national thought, and possessed
themselves of the power once claimed as the
almost exclusive property of New York; now
disseminated over the republic in happy ac-
cord with the genius of u government of the
people, by the people, and for the people.

GEORGE G. MEADE POST.
ARousing Big Meeting-Eloquents Speeches
Election of Officers.

George G. Meade Post No. g. at its last reg
ular session held rousing big meeting, fully
150 being in attendance. Gen. S. s. Burdette, de-
partment commander, with his staff, made the
post their annual visit of inspection, or grand
rounds, and expressed himself very much
pleased with the rapid and healthy growth of
the post, it having made a larger per cent.
increase than any other post in this depart
ment, and more than four of the posts put
together. Commander Burdette made an
eloquent Speech and was followed by Com
rades Medford, Cameron, Cunning, and Ramey.
They each referred to the strength of the G. A.
r., and of the great good it was doing by the
reliefof their destitute comrades, their widows
and orphans, and alluded to the sympathy of
the department officers of the government to-
ward our needy ones by giving them chance
to earn an honest penny, and thereby keep
the wolf from the door. Among the govern
ment officers most conspicuous for their kind
ness in this line are Secretaries Lincoln and
Teller Commissioner Dudley, Colonel o. II.
Irish, Hon. s. p, Rounds, and Captain II. r.
Brian, Government Printing Office, to all of
whom this post, in particular is indebted,
and return thanks. After the retirement Of
the 4 nartment officers the post mustered nine
recr s, and elected the following officers: NJ.

j. 4. Bryan, junior commander;
J. II. sterne, quartermaster; DIR. E. F.

chaplain; Samuel Baxter, officer of the day,
and Hiram G. Corliss, officer of the guard
all re-elections but one. The post is to turn
out ON New Years day TO pay their respects
to the President, as is its custom. This
post is about organizing several camps of the
sons of veterans and ladies' auxiliary corps.

Thn TnriCr Isennrt.

The report of the Tariff Commission, which
was submitted to the House yesterday, is con-
sidered by many to be the important report of
the session. 1t certainly comes nearer the
great question of the next national campaign,
so far as tho Democrats are concerned, than
anything that will come up for consider
alton. So far as the purpose of the com
mission is concerned, it is only important
to know that reduction of 90 per cent, and
it may be 25 per cent, is provided for by the
bill accompanying the report. The commits
sion has accomplished this desired end, and,
at the same time, been careful not to disturb
the present plan. 1t has been mindful,
all through its laborious existence, by the
fact that its work was to revise the tariff, and
not to invent now system, 1t has seemed
to find a way for efecting the desired reduc-
tion, and relieving those branches of trade
that In any way suffer by reason Of too high
or too low tariff The rule and the purpose
have been to reduce, though in some

THE moro the election returns are exam
ined and n.aiyzed the less the Democrats find
for cncouig cement. In New York the Demo-
cratic poll varied but few hundred from the
vote cast for Con. HANCoCK two years ago.
In New Jersey the plurality Of the HANCOCK
electors was 2,0iO, aud the majority on con-
gressmcn this year 3l2O, which is long ways
from being Il political revolution, Indeed,
it is surprising that in IN "of year"
producing the results that obtained in
other States through Republican divisions
and indifference so little change was made in
the political status of New Jersey. The
arithmetic man who puts New Jersey in the
list of Democratic States in 1884 will do Sc
because 1t is clear case of the darlSey after
the 'possum, and not because he can demon
strate it as a mathematical certainty. In fact
there is not northern state that voted at
the November elections that can be reliably
counted upon to cast its electoral vote for the
Democratic nominee in 1884.

RAUM ON REVENUE.
Some Instructive Figures In Taxation
Sugar and the Duty on It.


Some Instructive Figures In TaxntiOn-
Sugar and the Duty on II.
The report of Commissioner Raum of the
Internal-Revenue Department shows that the
receipts from inteTnal-revenue taxation have
year by year increased from $l13,000,000 in
1879 to $123O0O,o 900 in 1880, to S135,O00,OOO in
1881, and to $146, 200 lin round figures) in
the fiscal year last ended The total expenses
Ofthe service were about 81 per cent. of the
total receipts. He also suggests that the term
of office of internal-revenue collectors be fixed
at four years. With regard to the revision of
the tariff the Commissioner says the demand
of the hour is for legislation which will reduce
the receipts of the government. He calls at
tention to the practicability of taking OFF the
duty on sugar, About 2,000O00,000 pounds
Of sugar are annually consumed in
the United States only 10 per cent. of which
is produced in this country. Upon the 1,S00,-
100000 pounds imported the government real
the necessaries of life, and should this duty
be removed there would be not only certain
and large reduction of revenue, but the bene-
fit of that reduction would Immediately inure
to the people. The best refined sugar, which
now sells at ten cents a pound retail, could be
sold at seven cents if the duty were removed
and the total reduction would amount to
ninety cents per capita per annum of the en-
tire population of the country. Mr.. Raum
thinks that "A bounty of two cents pound to
the Southern planters would protect them
from foreign competition as well as the duty
now imposed. The aboli shment of the duty
on sugar would result in a reduction of $73,-
300 IDS
