DANA, of the New York San does
not think the tariff question which
Henry Wateron is trying to make
the leading issue Of the next presiden-
tial canvass, should be agitated for he
says; IL this purpose should predomi-
nate in the councils of both parties,
and if in the election the questions Of
administrative reform, Of honest and
economical expenditure Of the public
money, and of the restoration of the
civil service to basis Of genuine hon
esty and patriotism, should all be
crowded aside to give place to the con-
troversy between free trade and pro
lection, we can only say that this cleo
ton will be one Of the most interest
ing and one of the most curious ever
witnessed We can very well under
stand that when the public debt is en-.
tirely paid of, and the pension list re.
duced to tolerable proportions, the bat
tie Of free trade and protection may
appropriately be fought out; but as
long as we have to provide for the
payment oftho debt, AMI for the enor-
nous pension list which the dema-
gogues of Congress have saddled upon
the country, free trade is outside of
possibility, and protection is a matter
of inevitable necessity.

THE decision Of the Supreme Court,
Not Superior as the types made us
say in Fridays issue on the Civil
Rights bill. meets with general ap.
proval. The New York SIN says:
The constitutionality of the statute
has always been questioned, and the
declaration by theSupreme Court that
il is invalid accords with the opinion
which the Sm long ago expressed up.
on the subject. Indeed, il was diff
cult to see how the Judges could come
to any other conclusion, in view OF
their previous utterances in respect to
the limitations imposed by the Con-
stitution upon the powers of Congress.
The doctrine which underlies the pres
ent decision is that such constraint as
the FEDERAL power is authorised to ex-
ercise for the maintenance Of the civil
rights of citizens must be exerted upon
the States rather than upon individu-
ais. Unless a State, for example, in
fringes some Of the prohibitionsagainst
State action contained in the Consti-
tntion, there is no occasion for the in
reference of the general Government
to preserve the personal right intended
to be guaranteed by those prohibitions.
This is sound State rights doctrine and
it is satisfactory to fndii laid down
nv republican court.

" The Trunk Can't Co."

The subject of opium dens and the
iniqHities alleged to be practised there
in has two sides, and there is much to
be said on both of them. But one fact
is certain, that there is neither morality
nor justice to defend the invasion of
the houses OF lEespectable, law-abiding
Cinnamon because a few OF their coun-
frymen keep infamous houses.
Another question which suggests itself
is, if the opium joints are to be sup
pressed by law because men are intox-
icated in them and women lured to de-
struction-what about grog shops
The reporters have drawn dramatic
pictures of the young girls creeping out
of Mott street, their features blancbed
and nipped by the fumes of the deadly
drug but the red, bloated faces that
leer out of the doors of the women's
side of the Tombs are no more exhiIar-
ating spectacle. Al drunken Alneri-
can or Irishman is quite as suggestive
and noxious an object as an opium
soaked Chinaman. ss 4

Eventually he married servant OF a man

The wealthy Gates, his employer, died,
and 1900 broad acres fell to the heirs.
Then the war came on, hundreds Of slaves
wsre freed By the new order OF things and
the princely fortune was gone. The heirs
could not adapt themselves TO the situa-
ton. Finally, had pressed, they sold ffty
