uuo Sg4LL REVISE THE TARIFFf

gEdaxr reaches to-day a new stage In ms
economic argument. As a consumer he has
been arguing against the arbitrary and reckless
system of tariff reduction advocated by MI.
Morrison. That danger having been ayerted,
he approaches more closely the free-trahe camp
and intrenches himself in n commanding posi-
ton. He anticipates that the next assault from
that camp upon the tariff will be made under
Protcctionst colors. He expects the Free
Traders to disclaim any intention OF changing
the fundamental principles OF the tarih ana 20
insist upon revising it in order to reduce the
superintendent revenues Of the country lie
meets his former allies on this ground ana rldes
roughshod over their pretenslons. lie CONTENDS
that if the Free raiders wish to construct tarih
embodying their own principles, that Is another
matter With that base of operations he might
he induced to cooperate with them. But II
their sole purpose is to reduce revenue without
altering the principles of the tariff, rs con-
sumner he is opposed to them, and for the SIMPLE
reason that PrOtcctionists rather than Free
Traders ought to be depended upon to readIust
their own machinery. The Protectionlsts re-
vised the tariff year ago because there was
pressing necessity for reducing revenues.
Further action in the same direction Is prema-
ture so long as the results of their action are
not Enthusiastically disclosed. If additional
changes are shown by experienceto be necessary,
the friends not the foes OF the protective tarlii
should be called upon to reconstruct it.
These views are supported by our correSpon-
dent with his wonted animation and good sense.
His homely metaphors and caustic humor i'm
part vigOr to his thrllsts and render his letters
most entertaining contribution to economic
controversy Mr. Hewitt is a conspicuous target
for Edax'sr sarcasms, and the Shots it must
be confessed, hit the mark. These letters are so
short that our readers are never fatgued ny
them, although subjects that are ordinarily dry
and complex are discussed in them. The series
is designed to be of popular nature in order to
interest in economic questions readers who usu-
ally cannot be tempted to make close study
of the tariff debate. We are glad to observe
that the letters are receiving general attention
and are serving to educate the public as well as
to irrtate, embarrass and silence the enemies of
American industry.

The Australians are not satisfied to accept the
French rebuff IN the affair of the deportation of con-
yicts TO New Caledonia, but continue to urge the
home Government to make fresh representations
ON the subject. The French atlectation of pique
NJ an assumed interference with their domestic
policy is only technically justified in this case
For though the Australians might not have cause
for complaint if none Of the French convicts
escaped the fact is that they do escape, and that

Australian colonies. The vicinage of penal settle

DIPLOMACY or The CONGO.

Germany and France have protested against
the ratification of the Congo Treaty con-
cluded between Great Britain and Portu-
gal. At the same time the Berlin press criticises
the action of the United States Government in
recognizing the international African Associa-
ton as an Independent State. That action, we
are convinced was premature. 1t was one OF
those curious displays of ftful and capriciOus
energy wherewith the present State Depart
ment seeks to make amends for its wOnted
lethmgy and inaction. 1t would have been
wiser to wait until the European Powers
had reached some general understanding re-
specting international rights on the Congo be-
fore recognizing the flag Of an international
commercial company. The denial telegraphed
from Brussels of the rumor that Mr.. Stanleys
association intends ultimately to cede its rights
to France is superfluous. Such combination
is out of the question. The Lisbon Govern
ment, however, would undoubtedly have played
its cards into the hand of French diplomacy, if
Lord Granville had not recognized its prepos-
ferrous claims TO sovereignty at the mouth of
the Congo. This is the only excuse that can be
offered for the British Governments action.
The Congo is an African Danube and its nav
igable waters must ultimately be opened to all
nations under some system of international
guarantees and regulations.
The Treaty with Portugal is unpopularin Eng
land as well as on the Continent. The propriety
of sanCti0ning claims to sovereignty which have
been vigorously contested by the Foreign ONCE
for many years is openly called in question

fortunate experiences with the Portuguese all-

The need of better excise law is shown in
the troubles over this question in various cities
OF the State. In Rochester there is complaint
of numerous illegal liquor shops, and i'll Troy
the citizens are trying to institute reforms III
the Excise Board. In Buffalo the recent at
tempts at labor riot are said to have been in
spired by the proprietors Of low liquor shops.
1t is to be regretted that the Legislature has
not shown more zeal i'll pushing forward the
High License bill, which would afford relief.
The bill to make the Brooklyn Bridge free to
foot-passcDgers was properly killed yesterday
In the State Senate. In the present condition
of the Bridge finances it would not be wise to
abolish the one cent toll for footspassengers
But five cents is altogether too much to charge
for crossing on the cars. WOrldngmen are
practically excluded now from riding on them
because they cannot afford to expend ten cents
a day for that purpose. with perhaps as much
more to be paid on both sides of the river for
street-car rides. The Legislature ought to
pass Mr.. Nason's bill, introduced early in the
session, providingfOr change in the manage
ment of the Bridge. The existing cumbersome
Board of Trustees should give place TO a
smaller and more wieldy body.
There was some interesting testimony given
yesterday before the Special Committee of the
Assembly investigating the Police Department
Ex-Police Commissioner YoOrhis expressed his
belief that money was paid to the police for
protecting gambiiDshOuses; and a policy dealer
testified that he had seen payments made for
such purpose. But he could not swear that
the money ever reached the police officials
while some of his testimony was fatty con-
tradicted by another witness. 1t is evident
that one of these witnesses swore falsely.
The worst case against the police department
Is found in the undeniable fact that gambling
houses have been allowed TO flourish in the
city when they could easily have been sup
