The wall Of the protected will be inef-
feciual. Public opinion on the subject Of
tariff reform has advanced, not retrograded,
since the last session OF Congress. Persons
and journals that cried I" low bridge" when
the tariff was talked of by Democratic re-
formers now admit the necessity Of lpgisla-
tiop, and agree that the Democratic party Is
pledged to reduce the tariff. The day for
hiding away the tariff issue in dark closet
is gone by. The equestion will be thoroughly
discussed in and out Of Congress, and with
the result of opening the eyes of the people
to the enormities of the present system. The
New York Wori1, which, shortly after it re-
ceived its regeneration, printed elaborate
articles to prove that Jefferson, Polk, and
Jackson and long line of illustrious Demo-
cratic Presi5 ents were protectionists, at last
admits in degree the necessities of the
hour. 1t says with force:
Now the Democrats are in possession Of the Pres!-
dental ONCE and of the House, and there is small
Republican majority in the senate. Every Demo-
crat is pledged to revenue reform and the removal
Is already unity in the party In relation TO economy
In expenditures and reduction of taxation. Upon
these all agreed and it is gratifying prospect
of harmony, through compromise in the work Of tax
reduction that Mr.. Carlisle is TO have re election

The hopes that have long been cherished
that the United States would again have
Navy worthy Of the name when the popular
branch of Congress and the Executive came
to be in political harmony have received a
powerful impulse from the just published
report of Secretary Whitney. This profound
and able state paper fully proves. II any ad-
ditional proof were needed, that the affairs
of the Navy are in the right hands. Such
dispassiopate yet searching statement of
the condition and needs Of the service cam
not fail to command for its author the con-
fdence of Congress and the country,
aud this Is what has been needed
all along, in order that the De-
partment should be intrusted with the
handling of the immense sums and the
large discretionary power necessary to build
up an efficient war feet from mere vanish
ing spectre of one. While his predecessors
have rather skinned over the surface Of
things, Mr.. Whitney, with acute and com
prehensive glance, has struck right at the
core OF the evils that aillict the Navy. He
shows that the divided responsibility, the
duplication of exactly the same duties in
various bureaux, and the lack Of any GEN.
trail bureau Of finance are the causes "f
much Of the wastefulness, blundering,
and ineficiency that admittedly exist
in spite of the best efforts Of an excellent
personnel. Tie report is valuable in every
line, but among the leading recommendations
is the one in regard to the necessity for re-
storing the separate engineering course at
Annapolis, which was unwisely abolished
some years ago. He points out that the
policy of foreign powers conforms to the
teaching of modern scientists. in tLa. they
diHerentiate the employment of their off.
GERS and enieavor in each branch TO create
special corps with the highest scientific
knowledge. Herein Secretary Whitney
agrees entirely with Chief Constructor viii
son, that naval education should not aim tt
make every man Jack Of all.trades. Th'
Secretary rightly holds that II a man is t.
excel as a naval constructor or designing en-
eineer he must give his whole time to th
study of that special branch. The secre
tary's views in reg ard to a reorganization o
the Department are evidently sound anc
supported by such facts and arguments a
render his conclusions incontsstable. Wha
is now needed is for Congress TO heed thes
recommendations and give Mr.. Whitney the
power to carry them into effect.

A Revolution i'm Show Prices.

For some time the prices of admission to
the theatres have had downward tendency,
the times and the temper of the paying pat
rons have tended that way. In New York the
Union Square Theatre has some time since
come down to reasonable figure and Mr..
John Stetson of the 9Th Avenue has followed
suit, although reluctant to adopt reasonable
scale of prices these managers are in fact
long way behind Poole and Donnelly and
Harry Miner in performing for popular
price. Some of the dramatic journals have
argued that it could not be done. When the
very attractions that appeared at the Madi-
son Square for $500 went to Miners, Niblo's
and the Grand Opera House and exhibited
for from fifty to seventy live cents. At these
last named theatres all the best attractions
are seen at alf-price to full houses, while the
most of the time the high priced theatres
play to empty seats. This state of affairs has
attracted the attention of that observing man
ager Hyatt Frost of the Van Amburg Show
and while he has enlarged his sttractions and
newly equipped his show he has cut the ad-
mission price in two and made it quarter OF
dollar instead of half dollar. The move is
wise one, people who want to go to good
circus and menagerie can in many cases pay
quarter where they would object to pay
twice the amount to see the same show. Mr.
Frost deserves credit for his new departure
and will find that it is successful Innovation

but to the real value of the property. Be-
cause it protects it in such a way as to make
