lRrSFS or THE EXCISE SYSTEM.

In poltics and government both at New DIRK
and Albany, the dram-shop furnishes an ee-
ment of peculiar power. No one will venture
to deny that it is always power that works
for evil. But its mischievous influence
seems rather on the increase than on
the wane. The amendments of the tx
else law which the delegations from New
York and Brooklyn suggested seem likely to
be adopted by the Legislature. They are in
the direction of relaxing still further the
already loose limitations imposed upon the
traffic in intoxicating liquors. Yet nothing is
palmer than that the two great cities by the
sea, and indeed, all the communities in the
State, whether large or small, are sOrcly in
need of tightening of the bonds The in
crease in the consumption of liquor and
the increase in the prevalence of vice al
ways and everywhere go hand in hand. But
the men whom voters of Newly rk and Brook
lyn send to Albany in too many cases represent
tie bar-rooms rather than the churches, the
vice rather than the virtue Of the two cities.
In our Common Councils the case is even
worse than in the Legislature. No less than
ten of our twenty -four New-York Aldermen
are now engaged in selling liquor by the glass
and two more are graduates of the grog-shOps,
while on the other side of the East River the
path of political preferment is as plainly along
the same broad road In the lower districts of
Manhattan Island it is almost impossible TO
take the first step in the political course, ex-
cept through the door of "sample room"
Ambitious barkeepers who are looking for
ward to a political career, put themselves
in training first for a seat in the Com
mon Council. The next grade is that OF
Assemblyman and the first gained the
second is not hard to win. Those of our Demo-
cratic legislators who have never acquired the
rudiments of craftsmanship in the compound
ing of mixed drinks, count upon the liquor
dealers as the most powerful part of their con-
stituency, and respect their wishes accordingly.
This explains the circumstance that decent
and reasonable legislation on the liquor
traffic almost invariably comes to grief III
our Assembly, while every movement to break
down the barriers with which an earlier and
in this-wiser generation kept this trade
within bounds, gets the most earnest and
vigorous support. Two years ago Senator
Fosters Excise bill, a moderate, well-cOn-
sidered measure which went to no extreme on
! either side, was before the Legislature, but 1t
| failed to become a law. The amendments
making up the socalled Murphy bill are likely
| to succeed, and are sure to produce mischief
if they do succeed. But, politics apart, it is of
the nature of Democratic Legislatures to pre-
fer measures fathere1 by statesmen of the
class to which Mr.. Murphy belongs rather
than bills introduced by men OF Mr.. Fosters
stamp.

CHANCE ~ THE IRISH CHARACTER

~
The recent news from Dublin has set the
Irish people before the world in n new and
startling light Az men change III character
from year TO year, so also nations seem to
outgrow their old selves so last that each
generation bellies the traditions of all that
have gone before. All the world knew the
rollicking Pat of old times, with his brillAn
cy, his quick wit, his reckless courage, his in
difference to results, and his warm, tender
affections. Where is he now Who knows
him lie il not in Ireland and he is not
here The Milesan transplanted to our soil,
with good work and wages. comfortable, we'll
fed and wcll-clothed, is, of all foreigners in
similar good luck, the least apt to laugh and
joke. He is grave, heavy. fwrtiyc-eyed man.
The only traits which he has in common with
the conventional Rory or Conn Of the book
and stage are his hatred of steady work and
his love for whskey. If You want the old Pat
you must go to Levers novels or MoOre's
ballads. What the Irishman now is mt home
the last weeks reports show pretty fairly. He
has murderOus instincts. Here is n race which
believes itself oppressed. TO remedy its con-
dtiOn it forms an ASSOCIATION whose purpose
is murder. Irshmen are to fight steadily and
continuously, not in the open field but with
the assassin's stab-the cOwardly blow in the
dark at helpless unarmed men. 1t is the
magnitude OF this scheme, with the assump-
ton on the part of the conspirators that the
people would tolerate it, which ntensfes the
horror.
Here is an oppressed race calmly choosing

In our special cable dispatches will be found
a vivid and exhaustive review OF the irish de-
bate. 1t appears that Mr.. Parncll, SO tar from
being baited by the Liberals, or suddenly at
tackled, was previously informed by Mr. Forster
that his conduct would be denounced. When
he kept his seat, sullen and dumb, his followers
rebeled against him. They Immediately held
private Consultation and told him that he must
speak on the next day. When lie did speak, 1t
was too late to remove the painful impression
produced 10y his silence, even if lie had wished
to do so. The result is that he has been deserted
by the Radicals in tue Cabinet, in the Commons,
and in the Press and IS without defender IN
England and Scotland, with Mr.. Joseph Cowen
still to be heard from. Unless the Irish con-
science is utterly debauched, his influence in his
own country has been seriously impaired.
Nevertheless Charles Stuart Paruell, sitting in
the House of Commons, sullen and silent is
tyne of an ireland that is also suen and silent,
and is bent upon liking ANYBODY whom Eng
land hates. The English will do well TO be tenn
perate in their expressions of Indignation and
scorn. If the fact be made too prominent that
Mr. Parnell is hated and scOIned by English
men, he may be idolzed anew by lrishmen.

Something more than good intentions IS re-
ouired of men who manage savings oanA'
The experience of the deposltors with Ihe
Roman Catholic Augustinian Society once more
proves that. In many respects the story Oh tIe
failure at Lawrence, Mass, is repetition OF the
history of Archbishop PurcelPs disastrous III,
yestments in Cincinnati. Possibly there was no
roguery in the management of the money when
the cool Roman Catholics of Lawrence left
with their priests but it was invested with
recklessness and stupidity which border on
guilt. The most unworldly child ought 10
know that society with deficit OF $l3o,ooo

Mr.. Salmi Morse was arrested last night, and

ton, whether or not the proposed show is

ought to rebel, if the employees themselves Will
not. A change in the present case may be nee
essary. The Public Printer should pay the
average rate of wages to printers but no more
and he should employ men who do their WORK
best without regard to their membership IN
any union. To do otherwise is to discriminate
against honest men who donot choose to submit
to the control of tyranncal unions. IL Is pau
enough for private employers to allow them-
selves to be dictated to; but 1t is scan
dalous that a great Government should suomi'
to it.

When the bill to appropriate ten millions
annually for five years in support OF the COM
mon schools was considered in Congress yes
terday, the friends of the measure ,ricu ~
impress the House with the belief that the
percentaee of iliteracy in the country is great
and is increasing in an alarming ratio. 1t has
already been pointed out in THE TRIBUNE
that the statistics offered in support OF this
statement are misleading, and not nearly 50
lad as they seem. Some OF the heprec
sentatives appear to think that grant OF
monev from the National Treasury to the
States will prove a sure cure for all the evils
of ignorance, ard that the benefits of the hDo
years appropriations will be felt for an lndef-
mite period. They forget, apparently, that the
result would largely depend upon the states
themselves OF course the Southern members
are stanch advocates of the bill. The gnos'
of State-rights never haunts them when they
go in for "The old flag and big appropri
atiOn."

Advocates of uniform marriage and divorce
laws for the whole country will find facts to
strengthen their arguments in the scandalous
disclosures of the De Belleville divorce pro-
ceedings now in the Supreme Court. The de-
fence in that suit is based largely upon di-
yorce granted in a city in Arkansas where
neither the husband nor wife concerned had
ever set foot. AS for the New-YOrk attorney

The report of the Select Committee of the
Hous. on the Mississippi River Improvements
will disappoint those persons who have hoped
that the National Government would lavish
untold millions on the banks and levees. On
the other hand, it will meet the approval of
taxpayers, who think there IS a just limit to
the Federal aid which should be extended
TO the States along the stream. The Com
mttee finds that the methods now employed
TO keep the banks from caving in do not sue
coed entirely. 1t is recommended that they
shall be applied in perfection to one or two
points before they are begun more extensively.
The levee system, in the opinion of the Com
mittee, does not help lOw-water navigation

enormous cost. Captain Eads's jetties are de-

There Is no species of meanness so

which he can not or will not pay when

We have long felt the need of more

they now stand, it is not difficult for
shrewd operators To use the time aud

profitable, to abandon tand leave the
