matter and with this view do order your
removal without further discussion. Mr.. Pratt
succeeds you in office, whose appointment will

JNo. NJ. KApRNA,

The reader will not fail to observe the ad
mission by the minister of the rotten state Of
government affairs under the present advisers
of the crown, when he declares it necessary
policy" to dismiss persons whose "valued serv
ices in the past to the government are highly
appreciated and will ever be remembered" ?"
1t would not have been more astonishing had
he declared it to be the "policy" Of the govern
ment to ro6 the Treasury; and that therefore
it had become necessary to remove from Office
men whom experience had taught them to
believe would not collude with the cabinet in
the nefarious work to be carried on.

dend has ever been declared by this ac
cursed corporation aud it is safe to bet
that none ever will be. The company

THURSDAY EVENING, FEB IS. 1888.
Senatorial Amiabilify.

Senator Morgan, of Alabama, heard
in the Senate, as much to his surprise as
to his disgust, that those who live in
glass houses should not throw stones.
Mr.. Morgan, who is a very good and
virtuous senator, is troubled with too
great loquacity and a consequent phari
saical disposition to yaunt himself. He
undertook to give his feliow-senator
Davis, Of West Virginia, a tongue
lashing because he voted for an in
crease Of the duty on btuminouS
coal, when he was interested Ill
the ownership and mining of bitumin
Gus coal. Senator Davis, who is very
good and honest senator, without as facilc
a tongue as Senator Morgan, mildly sug-
gested to the latter that his free trade
votes were likewise interested ones, be-
cause he wanted TO buy a cheaper broad
cloth for his coat. Bat Senator German,
of Maryland, who is not 50 good Il man
as Davis, but has reader head and
tongue, came sharply to his brother
senator's assistance, by calling attention
to the fact that the free trade Sena-
tor Morgan had naturally voted for a
high duty on silk cocOons, i'll order TO
provide profitable employment for the
women of Alabama. And then he went
over the list of the free trade Southern
senators and showed how each one had
abandoned his peculiar faith on the tariff
question, when any industry of bis own
state came up for protection. Senator
Vance had howled for a duty on peanuts,
because North Carolina grew them ; and
all that Vance could say in reply was
that when grab was the game he would
be fool not TO stretch out his haud for
some of the plunder for his people.
There is 90 doubt of the substantial
truth of Senator German S allegation thai
the amiable senators vote on the tariff
question and on all questions according
to what they conceive to be the interest
of their sections. They are all sel(-inter
ested. If they do not directly vote
money into their pockets, they vote
themselves political strength. They
want to he strong with their people and
to stay in their places aul they vote rs
their people would have them; and
their people generally would have them
vote to protect their interests, regardless
of those of any other section.
Representatives who vote without bias
of self-interest, directly or Indirectly,
are scarce 1t is not i'm most human
natures. Certainly it is not in politj
clans natures. The stiff necked people
who do right because it is right and only
so, are not the kind of whom the people
would be better all around if only suci
representatives were selected but weak
human nature will have none of them.

REEEnCrfDNS EOi: THE DAY
Solar observations BY MIR. Dana.

\. Y. sun
Brother Hendricks would make I. fair
president; but we suppose Brother Nc
Dnnald would make better one.
If Allen G. Thurman were nominated
for president. would he be sure to carry
the state of Ohio? But to be nominated
he must have the Jealous and Unaffected
support of all the Ohio delegates in the
national convention.
If John NJ. Palmer should have in the
next Democratic national convention the
unanimous support of all the delegates
from Illinois, he wOul,! be pretty likely to
be nominated for president.
1t IS the great states that decide in the
elections OF president and vice -prcs.isit :;
and nominating conventions arc sure to
look out for candidates who may bs
counted upon to carry some of these states
that are usually believed to be doubtful.
If the coinage OF silver is kept up ut the
present rate, it will work serious mischief.
a deprecated currency is not a good thing
The lnterna! revenue system ought to b"
abolished. Tho tariff should be reformed
and brought down to common sense
basis. II the present Congress does no5
dispose OF these questions how can the
Republicans hope to live under it's weight
of blame
While the roar Of the great food in the
Ohio valley is ringing in their ears, the
senators calmly vote to promote such
foods in the future by refusing to admit
Canadian lumber free of duty, thus hasten
ing the destruction of our own forests.
The army should be reduced to ten thou

TryiHg to Make it Clear.

The Philadelphia Record says that We
have not answered its inquiry us to
chow any tax laid Oh property, either
real or personal, payment Of which is
not cvaded by fraud or concealment, can
fail of being" equally or prop0rtionate ely
distributed and asks lis whether take
however laid, do not properly difiuSe ard
distribute themselves. We thought we
answered the Rc"o1'd very clearly and
fully when we said that tax on real
estate alone would not be a tax on per
sonal property, propcrtionate in its
weight to that borne 10y the real estate
that was directly taxed. We said in
illustration that the owner Of u thou
SAND dollar house would bear u tax
greater in proportion than that borne by
Vanderbilt's hundred millions of bonds.
We had no reference, as the Record sup
poses, to the fact that Nanderbilt'S 5
United States bonds are not taxed. The
Record truly observes that he paid 4 tax
when he bought these bonds, as he pur-
chased them at higher price owing to
their immunity from taxation. But
this has nothing TO do with the quest ion
in hand. The Record asked us TO SUP
class of property, and asserted that
such a tax would be SO ditfused
finally as to bear equally On all
classes OF property. For that statement
we can see no good foundation. We
have, for the arguments 5 sake. assumed
that there was no tax laid but upon
realty and then We have asked how
Vanderbilt, the owner of Il hundred
millions Of personal property, and Of
little real estate. would encounter his
fair share of taxation. We do not
know how the tax Oh real estate would
80 distribute itself as to faSten itself pro.
pOrtiOnately on his United States bonds.
or even on his railroad stocks and bonds.
His railroads pay Il tax on their real
estate, and Mr.. Wander bilt's stock bears
it's share of that. No doubt it bears a
further share of the real estate tax,
which is diifuSed in many ways. But
we have no reason to suppose that Mr..
Vanderbilt's hundred millions invested
in personal property that is not taxed
would pay the same tax ;is though in
vested in real estate that is taxed. But
we have every reason, in the nature of
the case, to believe that it would not.
We would be glad to see the Record's
argument or evidence showing that a
tax on one thing bears prcportionately
on all things.

and this is how it came about She was
deserted by a faithless lover. but. being a
woman of spirit, she followed him up
and shot him nearly killing him. For
this she was put on trial, but the late III.
Lachaul secured her acquittal. Soon after
she received a letter from the prince, who
was then at Bucharest, stating that although
he had never even seen her, he had fallen
in love with her heroic qualities

letter hoax and took no notice OF it. but
he, finding that his missive remained ua-
answered, fastened to Paris, urged bis
suit in person, and was finally accepted.
