TRE TIPLEE 'RLLI

Congress now has an opportunity to pass
n tariff bill which answers the demand of
the people for a general reduction of duties.
The reduction by the Senate bill is small, it
il true, and in many cases trifling, and in
some particulars wrong principle is fol-
lowed in fixing the rate, but there is so much
that is good ia the bill as it returns to the
House that we are surprised at the gener-
ally prevailing opinion that it cannot pass.
The present aspect seems to be that some of
the protected interests are opposing the bill
because it reduces the duties in which they
are interested, while the free traders are
opposing it because it does not 60 far enough.
This is a singular combination. We cannot
see how any sincere revenue reformer can
throw obstacles in the way of such bill.
The reduction of duties will average be-
tween 90 and 80 per cent, which is very
fair beginning. 1t may be wise to see how
the various industries will adapt themselves
to such moderate reduction before going
further.
\ good feature of the Senate bill is that
the reductions have been greatest upon raw
materials and upon the coarser manufac-
tured articles, while the increases over the
present tariff have mainly been on luxuries
and upon the finer grade of articles which
are chiefly used by the rich. There has also
been a considerable and wise addition to the
| free list. This, with the other changes in
the direction of cheaper raw material, will
tend to enable manufacturers to produce at
lower prices and will cheaper many articles
to the consumer. A bill which appreciaby
reduces the cost of sugar and salt, woollen and
cotton goods, steel, iron, and copper, dyes,
drugs, chemicals, and fertilizers, surely has
something to commend it to the revenue re-
former. The fact that the steel and copper
monopolists are attacking the bill ought tC
win il votes.
We totally fail to see how any party al
vantage can be gained by the Opposition by
forcing this subject over into the next Con
gress. Nor ought considerations of party
advantage to prevail in dealing with this
question. There are many particulars il
blil NJ " bt anu w
passage will only smooth the way for th'
Democrats to bring in bill for further
reform of the tariff, if they see fit TO under
take that delicate task. The tariff proposed
by the Senate bill is really great improve
ment upon the present one, and it will no
be good policy to reject an improvement
which is already within reach for the hops
of obtaining a greater improvement at some
future day.

IT has lately been the fashion to inveigh
against the fee system of compensation for
certain officers and claim that fees ought to
be entirely abolished and fixed salaries sub
stituted. That there is another view of the

County, III. of which the Chicago Times says
When In Illinois It was found that several county
O1icers enjoying Immense emoluments from the

thought, was to establish fair salary and require

BEGGING IN TIE Public SCHOOLS.

BEGGING IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
We regret to observe that the managers of
the Garfield Hospital propose to ask ten
cent contributions from the children of the
public schools throughout the country. They
are entering upon course which is vicious
in principle and detestable in practice.
Parents here in Washington too often find
the public schools medium for the eXtortOn
Of money for purposes not legitimately CON
nected with the education of their children.
Concerts and schemes of various kinds, de-
serving in their way but rather distractions
than aids to progress in study, are carried
through by making all the school children
agents for the sale of tickets. The expense
for books, paper, states, pencils, etc, where
families are large, is not trihing. Many
parents are unable to add to the burden a
quarter for this purpose and dime tor the
other every week or two. Bnt worse than
all is the idea insensbly instilled by this
system into the minds of children that
money is always to be got for anything which
they or their teachers may want whether
necessary or not. This is a pernicious idea
to lodge in the minds of the younger gener-
alton of race which needs to be taught how
to save rather than how to spend. Besides,
the sensitive children of poorer families
naturally feel mortified at coming back
empty handed when others make their
returns OF money collected, Let those who
promote such schemes, teachers and superip-
tendents, themselves visit parents 10 asger-
tain whether they are able or willing o. sub
scribe. We trust the Trustees Of the Public
this growing nuisance by iorbidding the use
Of tine pupils Of the schools for the solicita-
tion Of money iorauy purpose whatever out
side OF their own necessary expenses. II
they will not act in the matter it may become
the duty Of the District Commissioners to
take cognilance Of ii.
As for the ten-cent levy upon public school
children, we trust it viii be abandoned. No
teacher or parent with proper sense OF the
fitness OF things would treat such method
OF begging otherwise than with contempt
And the contempt justly bestowed upon the
means adopted to raise funds would IN this
case react upon the enterprise itself. The
sooner the Hospital managers understand
that its chief support must come from this
community the better. They have been
laggards in permitting the opposition Monu.

good management, would have gained a much
