Prohibition for the District.

Prohibition in this district is the prayer Of
great numbers of petitioners from the various
states. They want the national government
to 20 on record for total abstinence and pro-
hibitory legislation. But these earnest people
have no idea how good we already are. The
sale Of liquor here on Sunday Is already pro-
hibited; and even senators and members have
to 20 through private doors on that sacred
day when they want to drink something
strong. OF course the prohibtionists under
stand that the sale of liquor Is nowhere pre-
vented IL is only forbidden.
Gen. Banks, being asked in Massachusetts,
prohibition days how he explained the fact
that, in spite of tho prohibitory law, every
other door for two blocks around the railway
stations in Boston, as we'll as in many other
quarters were well.known grog.shops, while
every hotel in the city had a well-stocked
bar and on It's bill of fare frst.class wine
list, replied that the explanation was that
whoever sold liquor In the state OF Massachu-
sotts did IL without tho consent Of the state
That great commonwealth had turned
her back on immortality and forbidden
her people to sin. Thus she had indicated
her own claim to be thought virtuous, and
thrown the entire responsibility for all
wrong-doing within her borders upon the
misguided people who engaged in IL despite
her stern but unenforced mandate to the con-
trary. The state being virtuous as to liquor
selling and drinking, of course each of her
sons came in for his pro rata Of the rewards
even though he might, while fling his claim,
be as drunk rs lord or as rich as Cresus
from selling rum.
There is no good reason why congress
should not erect itself into grand National
Moral Reform Association. 1t could do this
by passing laws against selling liquor, play
ing cards, swearing lying, cheating in
in trades, protesting religion without feeling
1t in the heart, pretending to favor civil SER
vice reform while sneaking around and
evading it, slandering rivals and try
ing to get to congress, instead of
being sent spontaneously by the people.
Laws like these would convince hundreds
of thousands of credulous people that those
who voted for them were sincere. and made
their votes the basis of their actions. Think,
too, of the great national reservoir of virtue
that would DO thus created, in which every
citizen would feel himself represented as a
shsrer, however bad his character might
really be. The cataloging of virtues is SO
much easier and more common than their
practice that we sec no impediment to rigid
prohibitory law in this district.

IT Is no time now TO ask federal aid for public
schools, while the people are demanding q reduc.
ton OF taxes. The government can assume no
further burdens but, on the other hand, should
be relieved Of most Of the weight that now rests
on its shoulders. Moreover, there Is no more
dangerous sign OF the times than the tendency Of
not few TO look to Washington as the source Of

THE city of Washington presents no more
melancholy spectacle than, that of ex-sena-
ators and members habitually fitting in and
out of senate chamber and representative
hall by virtue of their lost dignities. That
those who have seen service should some
times look in upon the scenes of their former
triumphs and discomftures is quite natural,
and. if infrequent, not unbecoming. But to be
VIGOROUSLY engaged in pressing private
interests for hire, and using the privilege
given them Of admission to the floor for the
purpose Of importuniDg senators and mem
hers, that is degrading and disgusting.
Yet to such an extent is it car
rid that the attention of the house
of representatives has been called to II In q
very emphatic manner, and the mombers
who would scorn to misuse privilege are
subjected to the humiliation OF signing q
written agreement that IL allowed the privi-
lego of the floor they will not DO mean enough
to use il for mercenary advantage. As in the
case of test oaths, this agreement is binding
on those only who from an innate sense Of
propriety would in no case do the forbidden
thing, while it admits every one of the
numerous human swine who are as ready to
lie as to lobby The only way is to make an
example of some individual offending against

or couse the revenue should be reduced to
the amount necessary for government uses.
OF course system of taxation which collects
more money than is required for current ex-
penses of Uncle Sans farm, and proper re-
pairs of his fences, drainage, &C., is real bur-
den to the people, however insensibly their
pockets may BIO relieved OF the sums of which
the surplus is composed. The possession of
money is temptation to spend it foolishly,
and the great overflow of the treasury is sure
to be last in unwise directions. All these
self-evident truths do not, however, make it
inappropriate in the American eagle to give
few extra flaps Of his wings and few extra
screams as from his dizzy height ho looks

to the British lion and other beasts and birds
in tho European geological garden that the
United States is 80 rich that her great
problem is how to prevent too great a flow
of taxes into the treasury. Pursuing his
remarks, he could truly say that our system
of taxation bears SO imporceptibly on the
citizen that the surplus creates less anxiety
than the agitation of its reduction. Our
people hear great deal about the
burden Of taxation, but they do not
feel it. Tho tariff which was intended in
good faith to raise only revenue enough to
meet the wants of the government is found
to yield much more than that. Both parties
are willing to aid in reducing it, but their
| ablest men find IL difficult to disturb II with
out making q small panic in everything
which it incidentally protects This 10 really
the situation. Protection exists as an Incl
dent to tho ordinary mode of raising revenue.
To reduce revenue is to take away some OF
the props of protection, which, although
incidental, have come TO be relied on
as a part Of our industrial structure

anybody, yields more money than is needed
