When the tariff commission bill was before the
Senate, Senator, in opposing It, said: congress
may come, and Congress may go, but a commits
sion once crea ted, with good salaries attached,
goes on forever" He assured by the friends
OF the bill that Ii did not create any permanent
commission; that the proposed commissioners
would be paid only for time actually consumed in
the discharge OF their duties, and when they
should submit TO Congress that calculation OF the
tarin question expected OF them their Official and
saiaried existence would end. 1t appears, how
ever. that the commission was imbued with longer
life than its creators anticipated The tariff has
been settled by the enactment OF q statute regu-
lating it, but the commission continues to draw
money from the Treasury. Within a week past q
draft for $1,000 on account OF the commission has
been received by the U. s. Treasurer, and In Janu-
airy last subsequent to the submission of its re-
port to Congress- another draft for IS 900 was paid
The total cost OF the commission to the country
up to the present has been $4,000, and it Is very
much easier to find that out than to discover
where the country has been benefited by the
expenditure. 1t now turns out that the act crea-
Ting the commission was not so well guarded as
Its advocates supposed. 1t sets no limit to the
existence OF The body, and, though all the posi-
Die duties have been performed, 1t seems probable
that the salaries Will be drawn until Congress by
arepealing act puts stop to 1t.

1t is evident that q great many men
decline to exercise the elective franchise.
1t seems, also, that the number of those
who shun the polls in this country il
greater now than aver before; and it is
to be expected that the number Of non.
voting citizens will not be diminished in
the near future. There are, of course,
many reasons for this, but the two chief
reasons are that many men think their
votes useless, and many more have so
little interest in the affairs Of govern
ment that they will not go fifty yards
out of their way to deposit a ballot.
The recent eanvass in Massachusetts,
was probably the most vigorous one ever
made in the State. Extraordinary
efforts were put forth on each side to
bring every voter to the polls. The result
was a total vote Of 3ll,SS2, which is
nearly 5000 larger than the vote Of
1880, the largest ever polled in Massa-
cnuSetCS prior TO TINS year.
In spite of the exceptional thorough
ness of the canvass and the unprece-
dented size of the vote, the number who
went to the polls at the last election fell
far below the number entitled to vote.
It is estimated that there are about
425, 900 voters in the State. According
to this estimate more than $4,000 citi-
zens clothed with the elective franchise
did not exercise that right. OF these a
goodl y proportion were doubtless pre-.
vented by sickness, absence from home
and other satisfactory reasons from
voting, and the tax to which voters are
subject in Massachusetts kept many
others from the polls. But making due
allowance for all these considerations the
fact remains, says the New York Herald,
that a very large percentage Of voters in
that State fail to vote through apathy
and indifference. They do not feel that
interest in public affairs which is the first
duty Of every good citizen. And this is
as true Of the people in every other State
as it is Of those in Massachusetts,. It is
not an encouraging fact, but it is a
significant one.
Every man is . factor in our Govern
ment. He is individually responsible for
the conduct Of affairs. He owes it as a
duty to himself to vote.

NO SECTIONAL ISSUE.

Referring to the attempt of Geo G.
Gorham and Senator Malone to make
political capital for the Presidential cleo
tion by again 'waving the bloody shirt"
and manufacturing Southern outrages,"
the Oakland Times forcibly says:
Let it be understood now that the
Democratic party does not accept the
sectional issue. We believe there is as
much genuine love Of the Union and
Constitution in the South as in the
North, and in the event of an attack
upon either we believe that from the
South would spring larger armies and
reader soldiers to stand in their defense.
There is no sectional issue between the
North and South, no legitimate Southern
question in u politics, no discussion
that roots in or beyond the war, and the
Democratic party will make it's campaign
upon governmental reform, upon the
abatement and adjustment Of war taxes,
upon the divorce of business and poll
tics, upon the issue Of sumptuary laws,
upon the withdrawal of undue govern
ment shelter to monopolies of any kind
and upon the restriction of governmental
energies to the proper limits. The poll
tics Of the present and future relate to
economic issues largely, to the protec.
ton of the rights of labor by q proper
fiscal system and an increase of the pur-
chasing power of wages, and to the study
of these questions and their determine
tion by the sound rules of political econ
omy is the Democratic duty to turn pub
lie attention.

licans Of Massachusetts, as long a. Butler

NORTHERN TRANscoNTINENTAL SURVEY.
A Northern Trapscontinental Survey
has been organized in the interest of the
Northern Psciic Railroad and it's allied
lines, under the direction of Raphael Pun
pelly, the purpose of which is to obtain a
satisfactory knowledge of the extensive,
hardly explored regions which may be made
tributary to those lines and their resources.
It has been divided into departments OF
mineral resources, climate, rivers and irri-
CATION, soils, forests, economic botany, labo-
ratory and topography, which have sever
ally been put in charge OF specialists. A
considerable amount Of preliminary work
was done last year, the most important,
perhsps, of which related to the exsmina
tion Of the black Goals of the western part
of the region under survey and of the brown
coal-fields of Dakota. The former coals
were found TO be good steam generators,
the latter not, except in combination or
after special preparation. Particular atten-
ton is paid TO the forest resources of the
country, in which we are glad to see that
the economical use of the timber is not
wholly left out of sight and observations
are making on the useful grasses OF the
country. The results of the surveys are
to be geographically represented, in Sc
ries of maps delineating severally topo'
graphical, photographic, climatic and bo-
talical features.

ABOUT cocHIERAL.

Cochineal, as found in trade, is the dried
body OF the female cochineal insect, which
lives on a species of cactus. During life it
is about the size of a small ladybug. It is
rather long, compressed, equally broad all
over, wingless, and marked behind with
deep incisions and wrinkles. The cochineal
insect has six feet, which nevertheless are
only of use directly after birth. 1t fastens
itself upon the plant by means of trunk
placed between the forefeet, and remains
there till it dies. The gap of the plant
provides this little animal with nourish-
ment. The male cochineal insects resemble
the female only during the larva state.
They change into the chrysslis, and soon
come forth as small red flies. The female
shen lays some thousands of eggs, and be-
comes covered with white powder.
She protects the eggs under her
body, and matches them, so to speak, in
this way. When the young insect appears,
! the mother dies. The young are now in
the lafva state, and the sex cannot be
disesrned. They lose their skin several
times, and the female then fixes herself on
the plant. The males, after passing through
the pupa state, sre winged. Their whole
! period of life is from two 20 three morths.
The coohineal insects are gathered shortly
before they lay eggs, and they are then
very rich in coloring matter Only suf,
foient eggs are laid as may serve to repro
duce the insect. The dead females are
also collected. They are killed nth hot
water or steam, and dried in the sun, il
ovens, or on plates. They have a brown,
red, white, or black color, and lose in the
! drying two-thirds of their weight. After
drying the cochinssl is sieved. About TO-
600 insects so to make pound of cochi.

CRIMINALS AND PUNISHMENT The
present penal System is evidently defec-
tive, and yet it IS difficult to suggest an
Improvement. Imprisonment has little
terrors for the vicious classes, inasmuch as
they are more comfortable in prison, espe-
cially in winter, than they would be out
of it and they come out ct the end of
their term in high condition for reslming
their old business. How often The record
OF the most daring robberies or brutal muir
ders is followed by the statement that the
perpetrator was Just few days out OF the
Penitentiary. To build vast quadrsngles
and then fill them with prisoners to be
maintained at the expense OF the State. or
to compete as hired workmen with free
labor, is rather clumsy continuance. The
object TO be attained by penal infections is
that no one who suffers them once would
ever be willing to incur them again. This
object was obtained by the tread-mill in
Britain, but that punishment was found to
be too severe for many constitutions The
whipping post is perhaps the best deterrent
from crime and the least costly, but it
should ouly be used in the case of such
criminals as have self-respect already de-
stroyed, such as wife heaters, gsrrotters,
and few other of the most obscene kinds
Of crimiaals.-[ New York Witness.
