HE NEXT SPEAKER.

Il is a matter of supreme satisfaction
10 know that an able and brilliant
statesman, and 4 man Of pure and spot
less character, has been chosen by the
Democratic members of Congress, in
caucus assembled, to discharge the
difficult and onerous duties of Speaker.
Mr.. RANDALL, of Pennsylvania, was
he fist choice Of the REGISTER for
this exalted position, and it is with pro-
found and sincere regret that We have
learned of his defeat. But outside of
this gentleman, who has been fairly
and honestly defeated-and, like all
true Democrats, we bow to the will of
the majority-we know Of no man
on whose shoulders We would rather
have seen the Speakership man.
tie fall than on JOHN q.
CARLISLE. He is a profound thinker
whose mind always runs in broad and
liberal channels, far.seeiDg statesman
quick to recognize the wants of the peO-
pie, and politician whose hands have
never been despoiled by bride. Sew
eral things which go to make an able
and effective speaker he possesses in
marked degree. He is Il man of cooi
Judgment but of great force and energy
OF character. He has the faculty OF not
commanding men but pleading them,
often without their knowledge or their
will And he possesses moreover that
wide acquaintance among his colleagues
that will lead him to select for the va
riouS committees and chairmanshipS
the men who will do the best aud most
effective work for the good of the peO-
pie.
One thing W. feel sure he will recon-
mend, and that is reduction on
broad, general scale OF taxation of all
kinds. The taxing machine is prod
uct of the war which has Outgrown its
usefulness and should now be put aside.
The curtailment may be. made 50 even
ly and gradually that no disturbance
need follow. In the turtherinS OF TINS
coed work Mr.. CARLISLE, in his posi-
ton as Speaker, can do much, and We
feel sure that he will.
The position Of the Democratic party
before the country, and the outlook for
next year, could net be improved. So
far we have made no promises that have
not been honestly and faithfully fulfill
ed, at the same time keeping eyer in
mind the highest and best demands OF
| people. 1t now remains for US to con-
tinue this work during the coming
mOnths of national legislation, and vie
tor, iser,ain. With no uncertain SQUAD,
Mr. CARLISLE has been called 20 lead in
the good work, and we are confident
that he will discharge his delicate task
with honesty, wisdom and discretion.

TOBACCO TAN REBATE.

The claims of dealers and manufac-
turers for rebate of taxes GU tobacco,
snuff, cigars and cigarettes on hand
when the taxes on these articles were
reduced last May, now number 46, so,
amounting to S&,.25,9l3. Nearly all
these claims come from dealers, and
nearly all of them have been allowed.
The claims of manufacturers have been
settled by the claimants taking the
amount of their rebate in stamps of the
new issue; but not a single claim OF the
dealers has been paid, and it is not
likely that they will be unless the next
Congress makes an appropriation of
about S&,5OO,OO0 for that purpose. The
dealers cannot be paid in stamps, be-
cause they have no use for stamps.
They buy their tobacco duly stamped.
Ex.CommissiOner Raum endeavOred to
secure the job of collecting these claims
at charge Of . per cent. If he got all
of them in his hands his commission
will smount to Sl75, OOn.

The 'grab," as the Ysnkee New Eng
land States, including Mr.. BLAINEs
own Maine, would be the chief bene-
ficiaries.
Maine is popularity understood to be
8 prohibition State, yet she contributes
in the way of whisky tax SOS, 24l per
annum to the government; and under
Mr.. BLAINE's scheme she would re-
ceive back the handsome sum OF ST.
$4,000. Although sentimentally and
"'conscienciously" a prohibition State,
she is perfectly willing to appropriate
to her own uses the "blood" money, as
her highly Conscientious Prohibition
lists fondly denuuciste the money
raised by taxing liquors, contributed
by the citizens Of other States.
Ohio contributes OF this tax annually
S15,l74,l7S; but under Mr.. BLAINE's
New England grab she would get in re-
turn but s., 500, 600. Illinois contributes
S24, 945, 800 annually; but Mr.. BLAINE
would allow her to have in return but
-, 2S5, 900, as he wants the remaining
Sl9, $50, 500 to distribute among his CON
scious constituents of Yankee Land.
Mr.. BIAINE'S last bid for the Presi-
dency will hardly help his popularity
outside of New England. If he had
been lawyer he would have known
that his scheme was clearly and yio-
lently in opposition to the letter and
spirit of the constitution; III fact, man
does not need to have knowledge OF
the law to know that there could be no
constitutional warrant for the general
government to send swarm OF officers
into the States at an annual expense OF
over 5000, 900 10 collect a tax on the
basis of the amount Of its productions
or manufactures in one direction and
then distribute the money thus raised
OH the basis of population.
Mr.. BLAINE's letter was intended to
notify the country that he IS candl-
date for the Presidency and that he
will antagonize Mr.. ARTHUR's prete.i-
sions in that line before the Republican
National Convention; aud Mr.. ARTHUR
will be duly thankful that his ''enemy
has written letter"

500 more than is necessary to run the gov
ern ment aud psy the interest on our debt
Our Republican statesmen are already
looking around to find some avenue in
which TO dispose of this immense surplus,
IL does not once occur to them that the
best way to dispose Of it is TO let it remain
in The peoples pocket by stopping the
taxes or lowering them.
We can state some of the uses to which
this immense tax is subjected:
Ii is used to maintain system OF esplon<
eye under the manipulations OF Boss Akin
son and his henchmen, to spy out and drag
hundreds of our citizens to the Federal
Courts upon frivolous charges.
1t is used for Star Route thieves to steal,
and then to pay lawyers from $500 to 81 600
per day to give Washington jury achance
10 acquit the thieves.
tits used to pay the junketing expenses
of the President across the continent
1t used to pay Deputy United states Mar
81 ais 10 intimidate voters at the polls.
1t used to give fat jobs to pet contractors
in the Navy Department, who build steam
ships costing millions Of dollars, that are
upseaworthy and useless.
Brethren, help US wall. Help the peo-
ple to wall. Don't shed so many tears over
the triflipg tax on the farmers pigs, chick
tps spd calves, and not a tear over the
enormous tax you make him pay for every
thing he buys to use on bis farm or Tor the
comfort and convenience Of his family. He
will become suspicious after while.

THE enterprise OF JAMES GORDON
BENNETT and Mr.. MACKEY in putting
an end to the Atlantic cable monopoly
by their contract to have p cable laid
from Ireland to Nova Scotia, and thence
to the United States, is generally ap-
rlauded in Europe. 1t is ehsrged that
the present Anglo Ameriean cable COM
pany has lived entirely by csreer of
financiering. 1t has bought up one ca
bic enterprise after another, and its ca
reer has been 4 continuous struggle to
create an artificial monopoly. Toe
BENNETT-MACTEN cable, when laid,
will take half of the business, and even
at a reduced rate a good percentage

We Propose 90 Wall Some.

hTceR6fttr HGSpeHteW.
The Republican papers of this State-no-
tably the Wheeling Intelligence, the
Wheeling Evening Journal and the Kama
wha State Tribune, have been lifting up
their voices and waiting lamentable wall
about assessments, taxes taxing sucking
pigs, chickens, etc. We propose to lift up
our voice and Join the sad refrain aud wall
a little ourselves. We will tou Ii upon
some items of taxation that our contempo-
raries seem to have overlooked, but once
We have called their attention to it We
hope they will Join their voices with ours,
and We will make make Rome howl.-Hear
our wall:
When an honest Granger goes to his gro
Ger and buys ten pounds of sugar at ten
cents per pound, there is thirty cents OF it
tax. In other words, if it were. rot for the
the tex or tariff OF three cents per pound
on sugar, the said ten pounds o. sugar
would have cost Just exactly seventy cents.
Honest Granger, wall little yourself-the
one-fourth or one-half cent tax on pig is
tame in comparison 10 this. The one is
taxed at the rate OF 80 cents on the 800,
and the other at the rate of $50 on the
800.
When q tilier OF the soil buys a few
pounds OF rice for his sick wife, be pays
two and one-qusrter cents per pound tax.
Wall some more, The tax on a calf sinks
into insigniticance beside this.
When the busy housewife wants to salt
her butter with a finer grade of salt than
the coarse grained kanawhs salt she has to
pay q tax for the privilege that causes the
tax on chickens to sink out of sight.
If tue partner of our Joys and sorrows
and taxes bays a copper kettle for culinary
purposes the said kettle costs her three
and one half cent per pound in the shape of
taxes.
