BAKER has done one thing in this Congress.
The fruit Of his eight months labOrs in Wash.
ington is a funny composition on what he and
his party associates affect to regard as Demo-
cratic follies and vices. He tried to have this
read on Monday, but the effort was crushed.
The House voted to return him his dull screed
on the ground that 1t was indecent AMI dlsre.
srcctful. one suppressed composition does
not add much to Bakers record,-Nei0 iOrE
star.
Editor Dorsheimer's administration Or
gan Is In error in several particulars, Mr.
Bakers composition was not "dull." On
the contrary It was sharp. 1t penetrated
some gentlemen on the Democratic side Of
the House-we may say perforated them.
It is not true that the paper was not read.
Mr.. Reagan objected to the reading of IT,,
but the speaker held that its reading was
in order, adding that 1t was not an attack
upon the House, but upon the Democratic
party, and he thought the Democratic party
could stand II. The Democratic party,
having lived under the weight Of It's own
shameful war record for twenty-five years,
may be assumed to be able to stand any
thing.

Turn On The limit.

The Senate did wise thing when II re-
ferCd the letter Of the Secretary OF the
Treasury and accompanying documents
concerning whisky expectation for reim-
Hortatlon to the finance committee. SEN
ator Dawes moved the original resolution
Of inquiry, which brought to light the rather
extraordinary favors granted the whisky
ring, and the papers containing the record
of the various orders on the subject went
to the finance committee on his motion.
They did not go there to sleep, but 'with
instructions to examine into the same and
report at the next session what action, II
any, is necessary growing out of the
matter" There need be no doubt that the
committee will do its duty. Senator
Dawes has set on foot an inquiry
which will, OF necessity, result In the
correction Of some expensive blunders
of administration, or else in the dis.
covery Of Willingness to allow whisky dis
tillers to defy the revenue laws, with great
profit to themselves and corresponding loss
to the government. Senator Miller is on
the finance committee, and 1t will be his
duty TO look to the New York custom
house, into which large importations OF
whisky are coming contrary to law. The
opinions Of two attorneys general have
been set at naught to give collectors of
customs the power to render nugatory the
internal revenue law. The whisky tax,
made by law payable in three years, is made
not payable until six years by the mys-
teious Inconsistencies of departmental ac-
tion and the mystic influences of John Bar
leycorn. The Republican party ought to
make this one OF the issues of the cam
paign. For further particulars let the
finance committee inquire Of the ring.

PROHIBITION has been worth more TO thou.
sands Of workingmen in this state during the
past month than an advance In wages.-IrOH-
d,RCG star
The prohibition that Is most useful to
workingmen, or the men who do not work,
is that which they apply to themselves IN
the regulation Of their own appetltes.
Every man should be capable OF acting as
doorkeeper for his own mouth, of deciding
what he will put into it.. The virtue that
resists temptation only when the law puts
the tempter out Of sight is fraud. The
government that assumes there is u neees.
sity to treat adults like infants makes
mistake. The true policy in relation TO
liquor is to put all the restraints on the
traffic that experience has vindieated, to tax
1t heavily, for II adds largely to the cost OF
government, but not to attempt the impos.
sible by enacting prohibitory laws. Drunk.
enness should be made disroputable by
proper punishment. The man who spends
in the tippling shop the money that ought
TO buy food aud clothing for his family Is
bad man and ought to be brought to Ills
senses by severe penalties. The notion that
society is TO watch over a man, to keep
liquor out OF his sight and to carry him
through the world as mother carries an in

MEXICO claims and Is exercising the right to
try and punish under Mexican law persons
charged with ofenses against that republic
committed by American citizens within the
United States--PiHsJWg Press.
This refers to the Cutting affair, and 1t
does not quite cover the ground. On the
2sth ultlmo the New York TriJW,c stated
editohally that
Mr.. Cuttings residence and occupation were
on the Mexican side Of the river. The libel
was trst printed and retracted there, and II was
subsequently reprinted In an American journal
circulated on both sides of the river, The safe NJ
NE american journal on The Mc1icln side exposed
him to the penalty for repeating the libel, ani,
unless there was some irreguRrity IN the
criminal proceedings, II Is difficult to perceive
what ground the United States government
would have for intervention, especially, ashis
rights of donicile were on the Mexican soil.

TIE Washington REPUBLICAN, hOwls because
Of p, ,7i7 changes in the postolices of the couu

"dcminilion total" handsomely increased at
an early day NORFOLK Landmark.
There has been no bowling, no express
sion Of indignation, or even mild regret
on the part Of this journal at the removal Of
Republicans from Office On the contrary,
we have defended the President from the
charge, unfairly made by Democrats, that
he was "going slow" in the matter Of re-
movals. We have from time TO time proven
by official data that the record Of jackson
as a bouncer was far inferior TO the Cleve-
land score. The thing which offends the
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, and which ought
to be denounced by decent persons
Of oil parties, is the hypocrltical pretense
Of the Mugwumps that the pledges on
which they gave their support TO Mr..
Cleveland two years ago are being carried
out. This is false, and they know It,
They know that not even q shred or thread
Of the Christmas letter to Curtis is left.
They know-for all the world knows II by
heart--that not merely the spirit Of civil
service reform, but the letter of the law, has
been grossly violated. They know, for 1t is
notorious, that the civil service mechanism,
designed to give the country a non-partlsan
civil service, has been deliberately tam
pered with and made to grind out Demo
Gratis only. We confess that II excites our
anger and contempt TO have the Mug.
wumps ignoring all these palpoble facts OF
the situation and singing the praises OF

would be irresistible. II the letter Of the
law had not been set at naught to crafty
Democratic greed we should utter no word

TIE suppression of the saloon in Iowa has
produced an extraordinary increase of slight
lnaladies requiring alcoholic treatment, al.
though the death rate OF the state is no higher
than it was in the golden age ofthe dramshop.

eighty.lour liquor prescriptions in one day;
and in one county with no large town, 900

Of June.-.st. Louis Post Dispatch.
1t may he questionable whether morality
is promoted by the conversion of drug
stores into saloons. There is room for an
honest difference of opinion on this point.
But there is no doubt at all, no possible
room to question the proven and generally
admitted fact that prohibition in Iowa is a
melancholy failure, doing more harm than
good.

ON the 9th day Of January last Represent.
atiye Brady, of the fourth district OF Vir-
ginia, offered a bill in the House of Repre-.
sentatlycs abolishing the Office of inspector
Of tobacco on all tobacco manufactured for
export. On July 13 the bill passed the
House, and on Aug, 3 1t passed the Senate.
On yesterday Col Brady received tele-
gram from Col. d. s. Lamont, the Presi-
dents private secretary, stating that the
President has approved the BILL The bill
is one OF great importance to the tobacco
manufacturers, especially of Virginia, as
they export 20 per cent. Of all the tobacco
exported from the United States. The fees
heretofore paid to these inspectors have
been paid by the manufacturers, and has
been a heavy charge upon them. Col
Brady has been untiTing in his efforts In
behalf Of the tobacco manufacturers OF
Virginia during the entire session of Con.
Grefs, In fact, he has labored zealously in
aid Of every measure that has been pre-.
sented to Congress that looked to advance
ment Of the material interests of Virginia

In 1877, when the labor riots were in full

railways, the Navy Department caused one
Of the old monitors at the navy yard to he

up in her rusty boilers. OF course she did
not leave her mooring, for she could not
travel by land as she would have heen com

1HE fact that the failure to make q "clcan

A clean sweep in the literal sense of the

attempted. But the Democratic spoilsmen

the sale Of his paper in Mexico, is he not
properly amenable to the laws of that coun-

TUE veto power in the states is copied from
that provided for In the federal constitution
and among the most popular acts of governors
are those in which they have defeated the job
berry of legislatures by the courageous use Of
this powcr--NGc l0rk Times.
The veto power In some of the states is
not copied from or modelled on the veto
provision Of the federal constitution, but is
so modified that, after the executive has
returned bill with his objections thereto,
n bare majority may pass it. This is found
TO be a sufficient check. It works adml-
rably and is happily lacking in that exaspe-
rating color Of monarchy which the veto
power Of the federal constitution possesses.
