We find the taxable property of 1884 to
hsve been 81, 644 1853, for 1885 to be 81,
642, ,092, slowing decrease in returns Of
1883 OF SO, f37. We also find decrease in
number of acres of land returned for 1885
to be l8,46S, which accounts for the de-
crease in the amount of taxable property.
we therefore recommend that the tax re-
ceiver in the future receive the number OF

We believe that there is much property

While there are D-mocratic Congress
men who nave exerted themselves TO the
utmost TO have the offices in their respec-
tive districts filled with Democrats, there
is reason for thinking that many Repub-
cans have been retained through the in
huence OF Democratic Congressman.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York World. in & recent dispatch,
made the following statement: The
security of many Of the Republican
officials rests upon the fact that they have
strong Democ a'ic supporters. Col La.
mont said the other day, that il q move
was made 70 change a Re- ublican Official,
usually half dozen Democratic states
men would be found rushing to the front
TO insist that ne Was the man Of all others
10 be retained 1t is always easier 10
hold a man in than to get new man who
can be controlled into place. Every Re-
publican in Office who has any patronage
al his disposal began the very next day
after the last November elections TO place
il at The disposal Of influential Demo-
Gratis. These gentlemen, with a sur con-
troll, therefore, Of the man who is in,
generally prefer to have him stay rather
than 10 take risks with an untried and
unpIedged man, merely because ne hap
pens to hear their party label"
There is doubtless a great deal of truth
10 this statement, and perhaps some Of
the Congressman who are apparently the
most anxious to have Republican officials
removed, are the ones who are doing their
best to have these same officials retained.
Another reason, doubtless, why so macy
prominent Republican officials have been
retained, is that Congressmen want men
appointed whom they can make useful in
perpetuatng their power, and who
will permit them 70 control the pa
trOnage Of the Offices. the aver
age Congressman wants every official.
from the chief of the principal office to
the janitor OF the least important govern
ment buildng,to be worker for him, and
he is happier if be is conscious OF the
power to have any one of them removed
if his wishes are not regarded to the let
ter.
The President, being anxious to fill the.
Offices with men who will reflect
credit on his administration, hest
tates often to appoint the appl-
cants recommended by Congressman
He has already been taught by exs
perience that Congressman as rule do
not know as much as they ought abopl
the men they recommend for office, or
else they are Indifferent about having the
offices filed with honest and competent
men, provided they can get those ap=
pointed who will serve them.

The Chicago Conference.

The national conference OF free traders
and revenue retormers. whlcn met yester-
day at Chicago. under the auspices Of the
American Free Trade League, very natu-
rally gives new life 20 ths inquiry as 70
what the recommendations 81 the Presi-
dent and the Secretary Of the Treasury
will be with respect TO the tariff, and
whether Congress. next winter, will enter
vigorously. upon the work Of reforming
tie tarf.
There is no doubt that the Democratic
party. with the exception Of a very small
minority, is in favor OF general
reduction # the tariff. Il believes that
the country's business and industries
would be greatly benefited if the tariff
barrier was so far removed as TO make II
possible for our manufacturers 70 ind
markets for their products in foreign
countries.
IL Is apparent that our manufacturing
industries have outgrown the home mar
ket. For several years these industries
have been suffering from this cause
There are other markets close at hand, but
they cannot he reached as long as the
main purpose Of the tariff is protection
rather than revenue.
There can be no doubt that the Demo-
cratic party is the party ofrevenue reform,
and that the Republican party sthe party
Of protection 30 far as the tariff is concern
I'd. The small faction Of Democrats DO
have ALWAYS differed Vlth their party on
tue tariff question Will have IN yield to the
VIII aud tue wisdom Of the majority.
II is probable rhat both the President
and the Secretary u the Treasury will
nave a good deal TO say in their communi-
cations 10 Congress. at its opening, about
the tariff. There is no doubt whtteyer
that the Secretary will recommend a re-
form that will have revenue, and not pro-
lection, for its leading feature and that
the President Will direct attention to this
recommendation in his message and give
it mis- approval.
1t is not at all improbable that the Sec
rotary will submit tariff bill 10 Congress
which will embody the views OF the admin
istration. 1t may be accepted as certain
that the House will not be deferred from
attempting to reform the tariff by the
fact that the Senate is Republican,
and may refuse to accept any tariff meas
ure that may be sent to it from the House.
The Democrats will do what they think
they ought without any reference to what
the action Of the Senate may be. If the
Senate tails 20 meet the wishes Of the peO-
pie in the matter Of the tariff, the Republi-
can party will have TO suffer the conse-
nuences.

From Mr. lgnatius Pollak, the little girls

Austrian Emperor was there a the same
time. The 18TH of August YRS little Char

The Church of England in Politics


1t is more than probable that the i'm
portance OF the disestablishment issue in
English politics has been exaggerated b.
some of the London correspondents of the
American press. That disestablishment
is an issue in many boroughs cannot be
doubted, but it is hardly possible that il
Will override other issues in many parts
Of the kingdom except where the chal-
leuge has been made by the Radicals.
When the events Of the past few years
in England are considered it seems that q
party must be adroit indeed to so ma
uGuyre as to throw the question OF the
foreign policy Of the government in the
background and substitute for it a ques-
tion that would precipitate the religious
struggle towards which the country has
long been slowly, but surely progress
sing. The very fact that such a thing
is attempted on the part Of the Conserve
tives, if such be the case, is probably q
confession that they, like the Liberals
have no more satisfactory foreign policy,
TO propose than that which has recent,
brought humiliation, If not disgrace, or
the nation. 1t may be, however, that the
church party, seeing that the enemy il
daily growing more powerful, has deter
mined to force the fight on this question
at once while 1t is comparatively easy Il
win, especially as they can count on tbs
Catholic support, and so postpone as Ions
as pOss BILE the disas er which, judgingsby
the history of religious agitation in the
past, seems inevitable.
For the past twenty years the estab-
lished church has been gradually losing
ground in Great Britain. 1t is doubtful
if it could now command a decided
majority of the votes Of the people were il
not for the alleged Catholic alliance.
The probability is that Mr.. Gladstone
will be as loath TO assume a stand on the
disestablishment question as he was /,
formulate and maintain n creditable aud
decisive foreign policy. II the Radicals
and Scotch dissenters force him TO accep
the issue, he will more than likely prove
~ be a half-hearted leader, and will para
lyze a large proportion Of his followers BY
his lack of earnestness and enthusiasm
English politics now presents a most In
teresting subject for study, and the prog
ress Of the campaign will be watched
eagerly by intelligent people all over the
