GREAT EXPECTATIONS. - The Re
publican Senator's expected by reject
ing the Fisheries Treaty to leave
the question open and to make party
capital out Of the ''Ouirages on American
fishermen" and the "pusillanimous att
inde" Of the Administration. But by his
prompt and spirited message calling for
authority TO enforce the only remedy
left the President spoiled this unpatriotic
plot and brought the plOtters TO con-
fus.on.-Exchsnge;
CHA.GiNG TEAMS The Republicans
of New York have snapped horses
They have unhitcbed Protection" from
their gO-cart and put High License" in
the traces. "Protection" will probably
be tied 10 the tail of the vehicle, ready
for an emergency. The secret liking for
the discarded animal is manifested in
the choice OF Hon. Warner Miller as The
candidate for Governor. He has solid
private reasons for sticking TO the old
horse Notwithstanding hat he may tenn
porari,y consent to ride after the new
one.-fhiia. Record.
DUTIES SHOULD re NEW0yED.-Iluyh
McCulloch, Secretary ri the Treasury
under Presidents Lincoln and Arthur. in
his annual report, 1855, said:-"FiFst,
that the existing duties upon raw ma
terials which are 10 be used in manu-
facture should be removed. This can be
done in the interests Of or foreign
trade; second, that the duties upon the
articles used or consumed hy those who
are the least able so bear Tie burden Of
taxation should be reduced. This also
can be affected without prejudice TO our
export trade"
STILL ~ TIVE FRohT-Nr. Blaine is
pleased to cali President Cleyeland's re-
laliation message "a mere scheme 10 di
vert the attention Of the Am Ticsn people
from The question Of protection"
When the Presidents letter OF acccp.
lance shall be pnblished--as il viii be
when the Republican Senators get
through trying To wriggle into a new po-
si,ion on The tariiI-Nir Blaine will ind
that the issue forced by the President in
his message Is Still AZ the front. Nine
ienths of all the documents sent 0ut By
the Democratic Committee. and Of al The
Democratic talk OF the ump, are de
voted 20 advocating tax reduction
through tafil reform. There win DE no
lodging Of this qgcstion.-New lo:k

NEW YORK RLrrMICANs The ever
alert and inte,li, zen; New York Times
has the following remarks abOu, tine
State Convention witch has jus, nom'-
mated Warner Miller for Governor, aud,

What the Republican platform aiont-
ed at SarnlOga ycs'erdly contains ~ r.
gard TO National affairs is OF little force
or Significance. I. Las nothing - say
directly upon tie great National issue Of
tariff reform, tu; merely accepts the
National platform As just and adequate
statement OF the position Of the Repnb-
lican pariy concerning National affairs
and ratfes the nomination Of iiarIi.On
and Morton. Il approve tie rejection
of The Fishery Treaty and calls the
Presidents message on retaliation 4 con-
fession OF neglect OF du'y, which is
rather feeble. Il bits Mr. Blaine

a right to interfere Icy commanding The
investigation OF them in this State which
made evils known and pointed the way
TO eifectual remedies" whiob, by lie way,
the Republicans in the Legislature re-
fused to apply Il has some rather
muddled declarations about importing
contract labor, prohibiting pauper and
criminal immigration, and revising the
naturalization laws. The muddle appears
in the assumption that the purpose in ex-
Guiding paupers and criminals is TO pre-
vent their competition with our working
people, which has really nothing to do
with the gu sti0n
