was an actor cannot write any other history
than that Of his own feelings, understand
ings, impressions, and estimate of men. If
Mr.. Blaine will give the strong gencraliza-
tion Of which he is capable, and not the pro-
duct Of scissors aud paste-pot in the hands of
some hired literary mechanic, the publication
of his book will bear important literary event.
If he can write of the stirring political debates
which divided parties into factions, and
which oven recast parties al one time, and
restored them alterward to u semblance Of
what they had been, without stirring up
critics, and causing others to write books he
will not be the energetic agitator of the past.
without doubt he will arouse sharp disputes
over the account he will give of the recon-
struction and enforcement eras, and Of the
part taken therein by himself and others. 1t
will be curious too to see how he will handle
tho Greeley fiasco and the men who pro-
noted it, and how he will get himself in tune
out following some of his present journalistic
admire rs into the embrace of Carl schurz and
the Endorsement of Rutherford the Nice.
There will be magnificent dissclving views If
Mr.. Blaine shall address himself to the task
of expressing his opinions on the repressivo
policy at the south during Grants second ad-
ministraton, and the stalwartism of his op-
position to the giving-up policy which made
the administration of Hayes so acceptable to
southern democrats. AS the bool. is to cover
only the period from Lincoln to Garfield, 1t
may be presumed that it will stop at the lat
ter's Inauguration, and thus avoid discussion
of the war upon the Now York republicans

The Good Time Coming,

What city this will be when it is finished.
Then there will be no unpaved streets or un-
adorned reservations, no unsightly telegraph
poles, no street-tar tracks above tho surface
of the street, and no uneven pavements he
tween or at the side of those tracks. There
will be no unrec laimed flats in the Potomac,
and no dam across tho river in the shape of
long bridge, There will be no steam cars in
our streets, for the tracks of the Baltimore
and Ohio and the Baltimore and Potomac will
be taken up, and all railways will center at
some point on the river, to reach which
the city will not have to he traversed
water will be abundant. The streets will
then be lighted on those pitch-dark nights
when the moon is blindfolded by dense black
clouds. The railway approaches to the city
will then he by the way of Rock creek, on
either sido of which will be lovely villas,
with neat village every two or three miles.
The wealthiest fifty men in the nation will
invest say 100000 EACH in hotel which
shall be wonder of luxury, comfort, and
beauty, and in which they shall be preferred
guests, extending and accepting tho hosptali-
ties of the gay season at the capital.
An opera house wnl rise up exoelled by none
in the land. A national university shall con-
fer its degrees upon youth who will not find
its decoration less honorable than Harvard,
Yale, Princeton, or Williams The people of
Washington are to enjoy all these things in
the coming by and by. But it will bo when
there is public spirit which will frown down
the petty squabbles of a little Pedlington, and
when every man shall trust rather to
his own speed than to his power
of obstruotng competitors. As beginning
of the discipline which must procede the good
time coming il would be we'll to practice on
tho question of a commissioner. Let our
people vie with each other in trotting out
live, worthy, and eligible candidates, and
then, if from among them a selection is made,
let his hands be strengthened by all. BY and

citizons and allowed voice in their own

SECRETARY CHANDLER, as the head of the
Navy department. resembles Gen. Grant in
many respects. He has little to say, but what
he says is to the point and full of horse sense.
He has exhibited consummate ability in hand
ling the affairs Of the alleged navy, and his
recent letter to the naval committee of the
house relative to the trouble at the naval
academy shows that he is capable Of properly
managing difficulty ofthat unusual character.
l1is desire is to build up navy, to get rid of
the worthless hulks which are eating up the
annual appropriations in constant repairs, and
place upon the ocean a few cruisers at least
thai will reflect some credit on the country
Some of the rotten hulks of the navy have
been. on the stocks in an unfinished state for
q generation. The line of battle ship New
Orleans, at Sackett's harbor, has been quietly
resting there since the year it was begun c1s14)
and it has actually cost moro to watch it and
keep people from running away with it piece
meal than il cost to build 1t. Congress should
either rebuild the shattered navy or wipe il
out altogether A business man would moi
allow his stock of goods to lay around loose
for twenty or thirty years just to see how fast
ii could rod.

Our LnLZnrNni.

Poverty is pitable The misfortunes of
the poor should call forth not rebuke, but
charity. But there should be means provided
for the furtherance of popular aid to the un-
fortunate. Channels should be prepared
through which the bounty of the prosperous
and the good should flow. That is faulty
and imperfect civilization which permits
suffering in tho midst of plenty. Where hum
wealthy community there is need of gov
ernmental reformation. That administra-
tion of city under which the poor die of
neglect is not one of which there
can be boasting and praise. Even
more reprehensible than hidden sorrow
is the unrestrained permission granted to
poverty to flaunt itself upon the streets. 1t
is disgrace to any community to sanction
the public exhibition of its own shortcomings,
The existence of beggary is a shame to any
people. II is almost a national odium that it
should exist and be encouraged in this city
The poor are to be pitied, and should be cared
for, hut not by private, impulsive charity
alone, Every person found begging upon our
streets should be Immediately provided for by
the guardians of the peace, The thousands of
small colored children who are being reared
to no other profession than asking aims
should be placed where they may learn
something of honorable bread winning Every
housekeeper in this city receives daily calls
rom two or more beggars. They number
thousands in the district, Beggary has be-
come means of livelihood to an alarmmgly
numerous class. Servants encourage the beg
gars. They should be discouraged. Every
stranger visiting Washington remarks the
existence of the evil of street begging. Every
one who has kept house here has experienced
the evil of basket beggary There must be a
faultiness in the administration of our laws,
or in tho laws themselves, else these things

Tax Reduction Regardless OF Tariff Re
vision.


It was a reduction of taxation-a diminu-
tion of the national income-that the people
demanded. They will not consent ito pay
$15O0OO,000 year rs taxes over and above
the needs Of the government. There was less
clamor for a revision of the tariff than there
was against the monstrous expenditures made
possible by an excess of revenue. The
surplus income keeps pouring in, and
must so continue unless It is stopped by
law Each house is at work on tariff bill
All agroo that tho passage Of any Is most
doubtful. The congress differs with the tariff
commission il created. The senate battles
against lite finance committee. The house
will not have what its committee of ways
and means recommends. Neither party can
agree in its caucus in either house. The house
cannot agree as to the constitutional power Of
each respectively over the question of revenue
Twenty-one working days only in which to
pluck the flower order out of this nettle
chaos.
When the republican house shall have held
twenty-one more sessions it will expire. Its
successor, whether meeting in March or
December, will have democratic majority of
nearly eighty. VIII that be body in which
to enforce republican policios2 The occasion
calls for heroic remedies If the whole
internal revenue system were to be abolished,
and the tariff left untouched the surplus in

would the exclsemen, special agents, spies.
and detectives, who in all countses are al
ways the most distasteful representatives OF
the taxing power Of government. If only
the whisky tax were retained of the internal
revenue system land public opinion is not yet
for its repeal) the removal of all other internal
taxes would suffice to reduce the income
to a reasonable approximation to the popular
will. How easy this would be if the senate
becomes convinced that tariff legislation is
senate is now building its tariff addition, left
the former body as a bill to reduce internal
taxes. The reductions it proposes are frivolous
and inconsiderable If tariff legislation is rem.
dcred impossible, this bill could be so amended
as to take the taxes off of all whisky used as
what the Hoosiers call drinking liquor"
The house could by agreeing with this, caust
reduction of taxes without creating any
panic, and the tariff could wait for a rear
rangement of rates of duties, not intended t.
change the aggregate amount of revenu,
yielded by them. The best thing to do is t.

IT seems proper that the enforced con-
ductorship of passengers on the short jacket
car lines ought to be accompanied with the
use of the hell punch, Each passenger
should be provided with bell punch, and
when hC receives fare he should punch with
care hole in his cuff and allow himself and
his punch to be examined wherever he may
be found. This would remove all temptation
of conductor travellers to steal five cent pieces
from each other or from the company, which
street railway companies suspect all con-
ductors of doing.

A Good Oneninu for n Reform.

The habit of submission to lawful authority
is, like confidence, n plant of slow growth,
and is liable, after being apparently well
along, to be Choked up with the weeds of
impatience and insubordination. This has
been demonstrated notably very recently in
two cases, one being prohibition and the
other the silver dollar question. In
each case the law is held in contempt
In Iowa the people thought they had
voted prohibition amendment into their
constitution. 1t turned out that the
amendment they voted ON had only passed
one branch of the legislature, although
a different but similar proposition had passed
the other Whether this was a trick or a
blunder made no difference. The Iowa con-
stitution provides the method for its
own amendment, and the supreme
court of that state of course has de-
cided that it cannot be amended in
any other way, however agreeable to the pro-
hibitionists. This moves the Religious Herald
of Hartford to say that "perhaps when the
millennium comes legal technicalities will not
execution of justice and tho enforcement of
righteous laws" This reads us though the
writer regarded the wishes of the Iowa pro.
hibitionsts as righteous laws" without be-
ing enacted. The restiveness of men
because they cannot be n law nntc
themselves is not sign of health. The
illegal teChnicalitics" alone mako muriel
and theft inconvenient to those who fair
would perpetrate them.
In the case of the silver dollar, its coinage tC
an amount of not less than 100000 month
is commanded by law. Since that law wa
enacted by vote of two thirds of each house
the people have elected representatives Il
Congress three times, viz, in 1878, 1850, ant
1882. They refuse to send men who will
change the law. This is treated by some as
great outrage, as though the people were il
some way obligated, without regard to the
own opinion, to choose enemies Of th
silver dollar rather than its friends. Th
question is not whether the law providing
for the coinage of the silver dollar is wise o
foolish, but whether it is the law, and whethe
the opponents of that dollar exhibit tru
law-abiding spirit when they denounce it a
a "buzzard dollar" and its supporters as un
worthy of respectful mention. Mere dog
matte assertion, however loud and obtrusive
does not constitute law in this country, an,
what is needed north, as we'll as south, is
better realization of the Importance of sub
mission to all laws and wise liberation G

sions of proposed changes.

Iris n matter for congratuation with tho
people of Washington that there is at last a
prospect of a railway nearly due east from
the city to Chesapeake bay, wenty-seven
miles distant, where in summer time they can
SO in less than an hour, and enjoy the salt sea
gale and disport themselves in the bay at
"Chesapeako Beach," Hotels and cottages
are to be speedily erected, and The railway is
to be pushed to completion by tho first OF

"CoRPoRAL SMITH, of the Philadelphia
Press, has been mentioned in connection with

REPUBLICAN cannot see why the corporal
would not be a good man for the place.
Oftentimes reformed drunkard proves a

cause. Mr.. Smith, since he broke away from
his wicked associates at Albany, has been a
very persistent champion Of reform. The

NIGHT SWEATS

"What good will the night sessions do ?"
asked one of The REPUBLICANS stalwarts of
Of an equally stalwart member of the house
last night
"They will make each remaining legisla-
tive day one-third longer"
"Do you mean by that to say that one-third
more work will be doneP"
Eyes; or perhaps it would be more correct
to say two-thirds, for the republicans will do
e-third more towardlpassng n tariff bill and
the democrats will put in their extra third to
prevent the passage of one,p
$50 l am TO infer that nothing will come
of it?"
"Nothing but honest effort on the part OF
the republicans. They might be blamed If
they should omit to make any possible move
toward expedition. So it is SO much more to
the credit of the republicans, while it adds
correspondingly to the reprehcnsible record OF
the obstructionists."
"Why do the night sessions begin with
LentW
because some of the best members on the
republican side have not been reelected, and
some of the worst ones on the democratic side
have been, and 1t is proper and right to dc
something in the way Of self-denial aud humil-
iatiOn. Gov. Tom Young's Night Thoughts
were written mt an evening session."
"Will the members sit in sack coats and
cigar ashesW
"Some of them will. Others are fippant
and indifferent TO appearances 1t win be
observed that all take an unchurChlike recess
for dinner"
Do you think there will be good attend
ance at the night sessionsW
Yes; the ladies are all keeping Lent, and
stag parties are not so frequent as they We're
and with the house restaurant to drop into
now and then it won't be SO bad as q late after
noon session and cold dinner"
But you really think legislation will mo-
be expedited ~
Not in the least. The fourth of Marcl
will see the appropriation bills barely finished
and the tariff bin hanging by the gllls or by
the tail, Without the night sessions th
situation would be precisely the same"
