THE TROUBLE IN NEW YORK.

There has been great deal Of indiscret
and injurious talking and publication con-
corning the troubles in the Department Of
New York, and we are strongly Of the opin-
ion that some of this should be made the
subject Of court-martial proceedings. 1t is
q fragrant violation Of the spirit if not the
organic law Of our Order to give aid and
cOuntenance to public reports Of wrOng-do-
ing by comrades before such wrong
doing has been made the subject of
official investigation. If there had been
any such malfeasance in the Department of
New York rs has been alleged in the public
prints, the way TO deal with il is by the
filing of formal charges against the accused
parties. Until then the lawful and decent
thing on the part of comrades is silence,
and no man who regards his obligations will
pursue or advise any other course.
When the accusations have been reduced
to regular charges by responsible parties and
these filed with the proper authorities, then
we believe in going to the bottom Of the
matter, regardless OF who may be hurt by
the revelations If there is any man who
has betrayed the trust reposed in him by
the comrades of New York, let him be
relentiessly exposed and held mp to the exc
Grafton of the public, as he richly deserves
to be- But until then let us have no man
tried in the newspapers, no comrades repu-
tation blasted by interviews and calumnious
reports.
We are frank to say, however, that we are
surprised that more decided steps have not
already been taken TO bring the matter to a
an issue. If there is any basis for the accu.
sations against the New York officials, those
making the charges should long ago have
instituted regular proceedings. On the other
hand, we are at a loss to understand why
the parties whose regulations have been
assailed have not demanded a court o.
inquiry.
The good name Of the Order is seriously
suffering by the course Of things, and til,
Chief has taken the proper
step of sending his INSPECTOR General to in
vestigate the finances of the Department
This is all the Commander-in-C Chief can do
bat the comrades of the Department of New
York owe it TO themselves and 10 the Orde
to clear up this scandal by thorough in
yestigation Of all implicated in it,

shall present for your consideration as eandi-

Comrade James Tanner, Of this Department..
We shall not undertake to present, in detail,
his work and his worth, for they are well known
and craven on the hearts Of thousands of COM
rades, who have been the benehciaxies Of his
disinterested and unceasing efforts, through
long and laborisus years.
During his two terms az Department. Com

for his many years Of efficient service before
Congress in the interest Of disabled veterans,
but, through all, and always he has been the
consistent and practical friend of his comrades.
During his incumbency Of a municipal Office
in the city Of Brooklyn, the records show the
payment Of $4,000. in salaries to veteran sol
diers employed by him!
These facts speak for themselves
A boy Of IL he took his place in the ranks IN
81. and. in Kearney's Division, participated in
every battle of the Peninsula. until, at second
Bull Run, he closed his marching and fighting
career with the loss Of both legs upon that
field. His record in the ranks was unimpeach-
able, and il best evidenced by the esteem in
which he was held by his comrades then, and
by his immediate commanding officer. Gen.
John G. Robinson, now Past Commander-in-
Chief, GAR.
He possesses, in q marked degree, the
characteristics and capacity so desirable in the
one who is TO be the head of our noble Order.

men who spoke in behalf of the Union and
human rights, and against the pernicious
heresy of notification and State sovereignty.
However politicians may differ from the
authors conclusions, it cannot be gainsaid
that he has gathered from the depths Of the
historical mines of the National archives, an
array of facts never before brought together,
and in this particular he has done service

among the historians of the time and insure
him an enviable position in the catholic

WHISKY, BEER AND ToBAoco TAX.

NHtehts bLLh AND TOBAtSO IAN
Napoleon used to say that the two best
patriots in France were spirits and tobacco
they did more for the support Of the Gov
eminent than anybody else, and complained
less about it.
Thereisa great deal in this pithy remark
much more than appears at first sight.
Every civilized nation has found it the
part Of wisdom TO raise large portion Of its
revenue by taxes upon these two articles,
for il is an imposition that no one feels. The
cost to the people at large Of whisky, beer,
cigars and tobacco is not enhanced by an
amount Of taxation that would double the
price of any other article. This is because
of conditions peculiar to the business, which
need hardly be explained To show how
important they are in this respect, let us ex-
anime the budgets Of the principal nations
Of Europe

Taxes on spirits beer and tobaocO..... lSI,sOoOOO

partizan purposes as charged by Hill in
the House of Representatives when the
bill was up on the 23rd of February
We in the north CT Idaho petitioned con-
sross for the measure as far back as
1865, after congress had cut off Montaua
from Idaho finding the narrow paLhan lc
Of North ldaho, too narrow to form prop
err and convenient county boundaries.
We have in various ways by petitions,
memorials and votes, continued our i'm.
portuEi;ies ever since, and the passage Of
Hailey's bill supported BY Worries in the
House of Representatives on the 9th of
February. was the first recognition of our
rights and wishes by either branch of
congress, more than to receive petitions
and refer them to committees and there
they have slumbered because of opposi-
ton IN congress which have overpowered
the friends and advocates of the measure.
While a!l this effur. has been going on
We have slowly grown in population,
! while our sister Washington Territory
has organized new counties right along
our borders with but handful of people
AMI swelled their populations from less
than 100 each to 5000 and 10000, al
though We have as rich aud as good soil
as any one OF them, and all because we
were in the panhandle of Idaho and at
| tached to 10 where, where the people
could have any community Of interest
with the balance Of the territory But
the south has been very exacting in de
manding heavy taxes upon all we could
produce, and giving none of the benefits
Of taxation in the way Of liberal lesisla-
ton favors.
