WINE AT PRINCETON.

The rigid moral discipline of Princeton
College has become SO famous that the
suspension of several students for I'M
seemly hilarity after the free use of wine
at party given in honor ola guest from
Harvard is a surprise, not to say shock.
to the public DR.. McCosh complains
that students have begun to smuggle
wine over to Princeton from New York,
and the powers of the faculty will be
devoted to the work of breaking up the
pernicious practice. The severe discipline
applied in the case of the youths who
drank to excess the other night-or,
more literally, who were drunk-is ex-
pected to effect the desired reformation
without the application Of the extreme
penalty of expulsion for any of the Of
tenders. Certainly if young men from
the best families of the country, as Prince
ton students are, cannotuse wine without
abusing it, the Prohibition doctrine
ought everywhere to prevail.

WILL THE STORY HANG THEM.

Carman kavanagh has told a story
of Burke and Cayendish in Dublin Park
which has astounded the world. What
motive could the man have to invent it,
The only possible good that can result
from it if any part of it is false and the
prisoners are guilty is that when it is
found to be fabrication there may be
a reaction of popular feeling which will
greatly aid the arraigned men to escape
conviction. But it is improbable that
that the carman's tale is a device of that
kind. 1t must be corroborated, but it is
probably true. Kavanagh is almost be-
yond doubt the driver Of the car which
carried the men who killed Burke and
for the knives described by him is sue
cessful there will be few persons who
will wait to have his story corroberated
in detail before accepting it as true.
Fortunately the British government is
accustomed to prosecute criminals rigor-
ously, and the carman's story will be
thoroughly silted, and established or
disproved in very short time. The
prevailing sentiment as represented by
the press on both sides Of the Atlantic
ocean is that the Dublin assassjns are
now in the cock and Kavanaghs story
will hang them.

Over CredulouS Methodists.

There has Just come to light an inge-

whereby Bishop Simpson, Of Philadel-

REPUBLICAN TARIFF REFORM OR
AN EXTRA SESSION.

1.-The general opinion OF Republican
members" says the Washington cores
pondent of the 1ri6une, seems to be
overwhelmingly against an extra session
Of Congress. It argued that the country
would much rather be sure OF nine
months or more OF certainty under the
present tariff than to see a Democratic
House embark at once on revision of
lieve that the President would under any
circumstances hasten the disturbance of
business interests which is involved in
the meeting of Democratic Congress"
We are glad to be informed by so good
An authority that the Republican men,
bers take SO rational view of the stua-
the Republican party to go out of the con-
troll of Congress leaving undone the work
of tax and tariff reform which the country
sorely needs and earnestly demands.
Such failure of duty would be a lasting
disgrace to every Republican member of
the House who had either failed to do
his duty or played the game of obstruc-
tion. There is no need of such failure.
If necessary, both Houses, under earnest,
honest and energetic leadership, could
reduce the taxes and reform the tariff,
on basis of justice and business COM
mon sense, before next week ends, even
though night sessions were substituted
for receptions, dinners and poker parties.
And it would be very short-sishted
policy for the Republican leaders of the
House to yield to the singular argument
reported by the Tribune correspondent
that an extra session would not follow a
failure by this Congress to do the only
very important work before it. The idea
that "the country would much rather
be sure of nine months or more of GER
tainty under the present tariff than to
see Democratic House embark at once
on revision of the tariffs beautiful
in it's simplicity.

SENSIBLE REFORM.

There is SO much noisy. pretentionS and
deceptive talk about reform and
economy by officials whose professions
have never been justified by the record
of their acts. that it is refreshing 10 find
an instance in which a reform that world
increase the efficiency Of 4 branch ot the
civil service and largely reduce its cost,
is suggested iii a sensible and business
like way.
Secretary Folger affords this instance.
The last Appropriation bill required him
to make specific estimates for every en-
ploye in his department, with the amount
of incidental expenses at each port 10
ascertain the facts. commissions were ap-
pointed to investigate and report to the
Sc ,retary. 1t was found that there were
in the 140 customs districts 4,235 en-
ployes. with salaries amounting to $3,-
4O4, 900, and the miscellaneous expenses
were 81, IA 600, total OF 81, ,olS, 900. The
estimates of the commissions instead Of
showing Il rcdusticn called for 4, e62 EN-
pioves. with IS, 419, 00@ FOR salaries and
81, 100, ,0C0 for miscellaneous expenses.
The Secretary would not favor an in
crease of expense, and set about study
ing methods of decreasing the cost of
collecting the revenue without impairing
the efficiency of the service. He found
that there was a large number OF Col
lectors' and "Suryeyors al ports
where the revenue was very small and
the duties such as could be discharged by
inspectors. He made q careful study OF
all the districts and finally devised plan
OF consolidation by which he could re-
duce the number of customs district
from 40 to 81. with 4.03G employees. with
salaries amounting to s., 03i, ,0GG and mis-
cellaneous expenses of Sl.ll2 uoo, the
total being SC, 145, 900, a saving Of s4o4,-
009 on the present expense and OF nearly
$500, 600 on the recommendation of the
commissions.
The results of his figuring for economy
and efficiency are certainly remarkable.
His plan of reducing officers and salaries
is simple and feasible. 1t not only does
away with large number of officers
whose rank and pay are riaiculously out
of keeping with the Importance oi the
posts at which they collect small sums Of
revenue, bat it makes the entire system
of collecting duties easier and more etfi-
cient. viii Congress accept 'hi; proposal
of reform and carry it out
Not at all. Why" Mainly because too
many Congressman are interested in the
retention of the officers that wouid De
legisiated out of their places. And Zine
tenths Of these very Congressman will be
forced by public opinion to vote ior every
general declaration in favor Of Civil Ser
vice Reform that may be presented.

THE SCHEME to save Treasurer Polk,
of Tennessee, from State prison is almost
as atrocious as his crime itself. To buy
up the notes of the Bank of Tennessee,
now worth but sixty cents on the dollar,
and compel the State to accept them in
payment for the 1888, 600 stolen from the
treasury by Polk, will rob the State of
moro than 500, ,OO9, the Supreme Court
having decided that it must take the
worthless bonds. AS the law now stands,
the scheme seems feasible, the defaulter
who returns the money he embezzles
being allowed to go free if he returns it
before judgment is pronounced upon
him. Polk's speculations with the stolen
funds have not been as fruitless as was
at first supposed, and his partners in
fraud are willing to aid him t" escape
