THE NEW YORK PRESS.

The Tribune this morning pronounces the
Tariff bill agreed upon by the Democrats of
the Ways and Means Committee "a vicious
and mexcusable measure" AS to the trade
dollar 1t says sit Is disgraceful to the Govern
ment that the innocent holder of this coin Is
sued from the National mint cannot pass IL
and cannot get the Government to take II
back"
The Times cannot doubt that the trainers of
the new Tariff bill are "acting in the in
terest of the general public, and that they
will receive the support of the public" 1t
strongly favors Mr.. Platt's resolution in favor
of open executive sessions, and says that the
Senators who are not afraid of the truth
could not do better thing for their own rep.
utatlon than 10 adopt this measure.m
The star says Of the outbreak at East St.
Louis that "those who are Immediately re.
sponsibe for the shooting are the authorities
who neglected to take necessary precautions
against violence, and the railroad company
that employed the desperadoes who began
the llring,n IL sustans the views of Mr.. Bel
mont In opposition to tariff reform by
treaties" and In favor of removing "the ex-
isting export tax levied by a protective tariG
on the articles we would sell TO South Ameri-
cans and Central Americans"
The Sun says that "if the General Govern
ment wlllfully neglects its duty, so as to leav o
our great cities practically defenseless, It
needs no prophet 10 predict that sooner or
later any ransom exacted as n direct result
of such neglect must come from the United
States Treasury. In this respect the burden
must be equally borne by all"
The World says: "The propriety OF in some
way celebrating the centennial of the in.
auguration of the first President of the United
States, and, In fact, Of the starting point OF
our present form of government, is generally
conceded; and It is time now that the plans
for doing so We're taking definite shape. II
happens that In this age Of Worlds Fairs II
Is incumbent upon the people OF the United
states, II they expect to keep abreast will
other civilized nations, to hold one of these
great expositlons as soon as the preparations
for II can be effectively made"
The HeTdld suggests that the President, In
stead Of ordering the revocation of the sus
pension order Of the Land Commissioner
would have better commended himself TO the
gratitude of the people by sending "a solemn
and urgent appeal to Congress-" to take i'm
mediate measures for protecting our publ,
domain against land grabbers and thieves.

Mr.. JOSEPH PULITZER, proprietor of
the New York World, has forwarded
TO the Secretary of State at Albany his
resignation as Representative in Con
gress of the Ninth Congressional Dis.
trict of New York, assigning the very
sound and satisfactory reason that he
cannot do justice to the public duties
which the position devolves upon him,
without serious neglect of his private
interests. In other words, one and the
same man cannot at one and the same
time conduct the responsibilities of a
great and influential newspaper in New
York and properly represent a large
Congressional constituency in Wash.
ington. He accepted the nomination
reluctantly and only by urgent persua-
sion, hoping that he might SO arrange
his business as TO permit his absence

GENERAL AND CRITICULAR.

Saw different sights than those they see
To-day in Washington.
Beyond the blue hills, far away,
A war cloud hid the sun,
A war cloud, sprinkled through with red,
That fell on Washington.
Low In the sky a shadow hung,
A grim, gray shadow, one
That like weird, mysterious pail
Enshrouded Washington.

Suspicious, one by one
Piled high In every heart that beat
Those days in Washington.

THERE is one member at least of the
present House of Representatives who
is safely booked for a seat in the
Fiftieth Congress; and 1t is gratifying
10 know that he is a gentleman who
has fairly won the honor. We allude
to Mr.. Richard w. Townshcnd of the
Nineteenth Illinois District, who has
just returned from the West with as
surances that his constituents intend to
return him next fall by thousand or
two greater majority than he received
at the last election. Mr.. Townshend,
while absent, took occasion to sound
the people as to their opinion of the
new Administration, and, as a rule, he
finds the members of the Democratic
party entirely satisfied with the course
of the President, and the Republicans
also well disposed toward every effort
he is making in the direction of re-
form. OF course there are office
seekers here and there who have varl-
Gus complaints to make, but even these
are forced to admit that If there is any
thing wrong about the Civil Service
law, 1t is not Mr.. Cleveland who is to
blame, but the Democratic party itself,
which year after year demand cd the
law, and once getting it, demanded its
enforcement. The President could not
do otherwise than he has done in re-
gard to this statute without a betrayal
OF the platform on which the Chicago
Convention placed him. This is the
only sound and sensible view to take of
the matter, and on this line Mr.. Town
shend is quite sure of the permanent
establishment of harmonious relations
between the Democracy and the
Administration; and harmony means
continued success.

WASHINGTON. APRIL 1e, 1876
RUSSIA IN THE EAST.

When Russia and England patched up
the difficulty in 1884 which threatened
to bring them into armed conflict, the
basis of the settlement consisted of the
reference of all matters concerning the
Afghan frontier to an international
commission. Now that commission
has disagreed and the points In dispute
have been referred to the st. Peters
burg and London foreign offices for in
structions.
The Russian Government in the
agreement of 1884 so arranged matters as
TO secure no apparent, yet really a very
great advantage. There was to be no
radically straight line Of demarkation,
but the boundary was to be laid Off by
sections, and the Afghan tribes on
either side were to have some voice in
the arrangement. The Russians had a
large force at their back There were
both soldiers and people whom they
held in reserve as colonists. Rus
sian agents went among the tribes tell
ing them of the power and wealth of
the White Gar and how much he
wanted to benefit them; distributed
money and bribes and told the chiefs
that their sons would be sent TO st.
Petersburg to be educated for officers
in the Russian Army or for other i'm.
portant positions. The English com
missioner only had an honorary escort.
The contrast between the. appar-
ent power and influence of England and
Russia was naturally great, and was,
of course, in favor Of the latter, es-
pecially among the rude Afghans. The
result has been exactly what Russia
schemed for. 1t has captured the ma.
tives. Under these circumstances the
Russian commissioners have gained
many advantages over the English in
laying out the boundary. AS soon as
one section was completed the Russians
organized on their side of the line Rus.
sian governments, subsidized them
generally and. threw In their colonizers.
The English have done nothing of the
kind, and the Afghans to the south of
the boundary are becoming disaffected.
Their brethren on the north are we'll
supplied with Russian roubles, and the
colonies are rapidly becoming prosper
Gus. 1t is unnecessary to say that Rus
sian agents do not attempt to allay this
disaffection. All which has been going
on since last summer either without
the knowledge or to the apparent
Indifference of the English Gov
crnment but the commissioners
of that power are finally waking
up to the advantages that Russia has
gained over them, and further bound.
ary negotiations are stopped. And this
is not all.
Russian engineers and a large force
of Russian soldiers have been busy in
constructing the railroad to Merv.
They have even worked at night by
electric lights and will have completed
the steel rails which will connect Merv
with the West in two months. The
Importance of this road to Russia s
evident designs upon India cannot be
overestimated. The summer outlool;
in the East does not look very cheerful
for England; while at home it is not SO
bright as her people might desire.

THERE were not over hundred
Members of the House present at Satur-
days session, and all the better, per-
haps, for expeditions action upon re-
ports from the Committee on Com.
merce, which were the special order of
the day. The construction of a num-
Der of bridges was authorized and the
calendar cleared of long list of light
houses and life!saving stations. The
aggregate appropriations for the latter
amount to something over 100000.
Mr.. Randall and Mr.. Holman contrived
to get in few interlocutory objections
now and then, but the House, or what
there was of ii, was evidently there on
business, and the bills went through
with rush.

The District Veterans had fine
weather for their parade this afternoon,
and very creditable display did they
and their escorts make. The incop.
tion of the idea of the parade and of
the reunion was q very happy one, and
although some difficulty was encoun-
tered in carrying it out, yet 1t was
overcome by effective and wcll.directed
work. 1t is very well for the people
Of the District and for the whole coun
try, for that matter, to be reminded of
the promptnoss with which the men of
the District fell into line to defend the
Capital in an hour of imminent danger.
The only thing to mar to.days event
in any way was that whatever assist.
ance or favors were received from the
Government had to be worked for very
hard. There was no spontaneity on the
part Of our public officials in the little co.
operation which they extended to the
Veterans. This was not as 1t should
have been.

her attention to the fact that the
presence of the female delegates from
Salt Lake City may have had something
to do with the fact that horrid man
