Less Taxation-Less Waste.

70 take off Government taxes, es-
pccially those of internal revenue, is a
pressing duty.
But Congress must also meet the de-
mand for reduction of government ex.
penditures, It's folly to have such laws
on the statute book as the one for pay
ing arrears of pensions, and to pass
monstrous subsidies for canals and
steamboat lines, adding to them enor-
nous increases Of such jobs as the River
and Harbor bill, while trying to cut off
taxes. The receipts and the expenses
must be cut down.
1t is the great surplus income of the
Government which prompts these jobs,
and it is the existence of great legislative
plumber Of the Treasury that makes it
possible to keep up the heavy tax
systems.-New York Sun.

Communication,

EDITOR OF ARGUs.-l see from the
Mayors inaugural that he recommends
that there be three extra policemen
added to the police force Of tbs city.
This extra force may be necessary UNI
der the present way of managing the
city affairs, but it does appear to me if
the city authorities will light up the
city as it should be, that the present
police force will be sufficient. un-
derstand that the Electric Light Com
pany offered to put up twelve lights for
5000 per year; that the city rejected
this offer, and now propose to add three
policemen at cost of $50 per month
each, making an extra cost to the city
per year Of about $4,000 IT costs the
city now for the present street lights at
least $500 per year; by adding $500
more, the city could be well lighted, the
citizens have the benefit of it, and the
city save the costs of this extra police.
[ trust that the city fathers will look at
this matter in business light and act
for the best interest of the city and Of
all the citizens thereof

the medical attendants to have earned
in the ordinary practice during the
time, but the sums recommended to be
paid by the majority of the committee
are excessive. We are of the opinion
that there was no extraordinary medi-
cal skill exhibited in the treatment of
the case, and nothing calling for ex-
traordinary allowances for professional
services, but while willing to be liberal
could not consent to the manner of
payment recommended, nor to the ex-
travagance and wanton layishment of
public funds"
On this subject the New York Sun
says: "These allowances are not only
exorbtant, but they are wholly dis
proportional to the services rendered
Measured by the developments Of So
called medical skill during the pro-
gress Of this memorable case, the
awards must provoke severe criticism
and Indignation if they are ever pre-
sented to the House Of Representatives
in the present form.
Compared with the bills for atten-
dance on Mr.. Seward and his son when
they were murderously attacked by the
assassin Payne, these charges are SIM
ply monstrous, and cannot be justified
by any scale recognized as just by the
profession. And when it is remember
ed that every diagnosis in the case was
shown to be erroneous by the autopsy,
and that the patient was treated from
first to last upon false theories, this
enormous demand appears all the more
unjustifable.
"The committee has already paid one
bill Of some eight thousand dollars for
funeral expenses, which is disgrace
to all concerned in ito the former
sergeant at arms, John G. Thompson,
who made up the account, and to those
who sanctioned bare-faced extortion.
That ceremony was converted into an
orgy and Job, and the scandalous items
should be required by the House be-
fore another dollar is appropriated for
this matter"

ridden and HAYES.

Tho experience Of Hayes ought to
teach us.all how little there is in mere
official station and how much in
strength of characters. He has been
President Of the United States, the sue
cessor of Washington, Jefferson and
Lincoln; and yet there is not a country
school-mistress from Maine to California
that doscn't possess as much influence
as the cx-President. He is seldom
without sheer His opinions are
laughed at, Nobody believes a word
he utters TO the public. The man
whom he supplanted, though old and
worn, perplexed by the hatreds of
those who wronged him, and apparently
intent only on spending the remainder
of his days in retirement, is still a
power in the land. Parties watch his
movements, study his words, speculate
on his designs. Friends lean on his
counsel, and foes dread his possible &C
tivity. In word Samuel D. Tilden is
a great citizen, though he failed to
reach the Presidency. Rutherford b.
Hayes was sunk into the condition Of q
nonentity, which nature intended him
to fill. 1t may be a greater misfortune
to attain to an office for which we ore
unfit than to miss an honor which we
have fairly won.--Buffalo Courier.

Squandering the Peoples Money.

The committee which was appointed
by Congress to audit the expenses of
the illness and death Of President Gar
field, have submitted report, which,
among other things, recommends the
payment Of the following bills: DR..
Bliss, $4,000: DR.. Agnew, $4,000 /;
DR.. Hamilton, $4,000; DR.. Reyburn,
$4,000; DR.. Boynton, $4,000; DR..
Susan Edison, $4,000, and Drs. Barnes
and Woodward, who are army officers,
TO have increased rank and increased
pay. The total amount asked from the
already over-burdencd taxpayers, to
pay the doctor bills, is $4,000, and
this large amount is asked to pay a
set Of doctors who, could not tell which
way the assassin's bullet went, until
after Garfeld's death and a post NOR
tenn examination was held
The minority of the committee, con-
sisting of Congressman Blackburn,
Springer and Lefebre, Democrats, are
not in favor of this robbery, and in
their report they say: 1--WE do not oh
ject to the payment by the general
government of the funeral expenses of
the late President, who was stricken
down in the performance of his duties,
and because of his occupying a public
station. Our objection to the report
grows out Of the recommendation for
the payment of the services of physi-
clans and surgeons who attended the
late President. We are perfectly will
ing to concede that liberal compensa-
ton should be allowed physicians and
surgeons compensation in excess
even of what il was possible for any of

everywhcls greeted with immense enthusiasm
on the part of the little ones, who flocked by

Jolly and bfg hearted ways, will make his
headquarters at Walther's, where he will re-

so much pains to make CHRISTMAS so bright

blows its bugle IN favor of cheap, unreliable

Bile house above named. And to further its
senseless story it proceeds to call the FREE

as compared with the "cheap John" sort OF
man that presides over the two and hall
columns Of the Times we will not attempt to
deny the soft impeachment The public, il
they take any interest in the matter, will
judge for themselves. 1t is sufficient to say
that such substantial articles OF clothing as
the FREE TRADER speaks of as coming from

the tupenny articles the Times alleges to
have purchased, and persons who wish to
get the value of their money will never think
