EVERY advance toward q free exchange OF
commodities is an advance In civilization; every
obstruction to a free exchange is horn Of the
same narrow, despotic spirit which planted cas-
ties upon the Rhine to plumber peaceful COM
merce; every obstruction to commerce is a tax
upon consumption; every facility to a free ex-
change cheapens commodities, increases trade

Nothing Is worse than sc tionsli,m within q ma

"a substantial reduction of tariff duties is de-
manded, not by a mere indiScriminate popular
elamor, but by the best conservative opinion OF
the county, includir g that which has in former
times eea most strenuous for the preservation Of
our national industrial defense. Such a reduc-
ton of the existing tariff the Commission regards
not only as q due recognition Of public senti-
ment and q measure of justice to consumers, but
are conducive to the general industrial prosper
ity, and which, though it may be temporarily
announcement, will be ultimately beneficial to
the special Interests affected by such reduction"

THERE SEEMS TO DE general disposi-
ton, united with persistent determin-
alton, throughout the country, to
make the District of Columbia sort
of moral experiment station, and it is
a popularity of this Government
reservation that the people who in
habit it have no recourse or remedy
but TO patiently endure whatever
freaks Congress may see fit to impose
upon them in the shape Of reform.
Our people do not claim TO be any
better than the people of other parts
Of the country, but consider them
selves as at least equally good. But
the petitions and memorials with
which Congress is flooded every year
for legislation to improve the morals
of the District are calculated to pro-
duce the impression abroad that the
National Capital is a sink of depravity
1t is not pleasant to be singled out in
this way, even for experimental pur-
poses, and it would be no more than
fair for the reformers to, exert their
missionary efforts in some other direc-
ton. Why not try New Mexico
awhile, or give Arizona a whack,
instead of concentrating all their pious
solicitude upon an exemplary and
well-ordered community like the Dis.

TIE BRAvE Ar HOME.


Tic maid who binds her warriors sash
With smile that well her pain dssembles
The while beneath the dropping lash
One starry tealdrop hangs and trembles,
Though heaven alone records the tear,
And fume shall never know her story
Her heart has shed drop as dear
As e'er bedewed the field OF glory.
The wife who grds her husbands sword
Mid little ones who weep or wonder,
And bravely speaks the cheering word
What though her heart be rent asunder,
Doomed nightly In her dreams TO hear
The bolts Of death around him rattle,
Hath shed as sacred blood as e'er
Was poured upon the field OF battle.
The mother who conceals her grief
While 10 her breast her son She presses,
Then breathes few brave words and brief,
kissing the patriot brow she blesses,
With no one but her secret God
10 know the pain that weighs upon her,
Sheds holy blood as eer tho sod
Received on Freedoms field Of honor.

u Is seldom that so much attention is given
a speech in the Senate, and the Southern
Senators paid as much tribute to ohio's Sena-

Most of the Democratic Senators made a

being intensely interested in what they were
reading or writing. Senators Daniel and Pugh

CONSIDERING THAT THERE are fifty
four chairmanships of committees to
be distributed in the House, and of
these that the "solid South" gets only
thirty, including FIVE from Missouri,
Speaker Carlisle cannot we'll be
charged with undue discrimination in
favor of the Southern Democratic
States. The distribution may not be
in all respects satisfactory, but it is
certainly non-sectional.

of the friends Of Mr.. Cox to the place
may be. But Mr.. Cox was urged, and
steadfastly refused to accept, place
on the Ways and Means Committee,
where his services would have been
Of peculiar value, and on which it was
important that the Empire State
should be represented, and probably
it was this consideration that in
duced the final selection of

most nearly identified with the inter
csts of New York. In this contin-
gency, the Speaker did the best he
could for Mr.. Cox, giving him the
chairmanship of the Census Com

things considered, is doing pretty

friends of Mr.. Bliss if it could have
been arranged so as to give him the
chaiimanship of the Pacific Railroads
Committee, but, as this seemed to be
out Of the question, he has to be con-
tented with the chairmanship of the
Pensions Committee, which is a posi-
ton of no small honor and respon-

serts, besides second place on War

SENATOR PhATT's proposed amend
ment to the rules governing the ex-
ecutive sessions of the Senate, differs
considerably from Senator Platt's
opeh-session resolution, but it meets
the question fully half way in regard
toaction on the Presidents appoint
ments, by removing the injunction Of
secrecy from reports of committees.
IT is not intended, howeyer, to au-
thorize the publication in full Of the
discussions had in secret session,
about which the public is especially
curious to be informed; while as TO
treaties all information may be with
held if the Sepate so vote. 1t
is no doubt proper in the latter
ease on grounds of sound public
policy TO conduct proceedings with
more or less privacy. Delicate inter-
national questions are sometimes in
volved, concerning which it might
not be discreet or in accordance with
comfy to make the deliberations OF
Senator'S public in advance of decisive
conclusions; but the same considera
tions do not apply to executive nom
nations. If the Senate, sitting in
secret judgment on these; takes ad
vantage of its Star Chamber oppor
t,nities to indulge in partisan Grim
nations and recriminations that i
would not do by daylight, at leas
some wholesome check should be pu
npon the practice; and in no way coult
such an end be more effectually
reached than by making compulsory
publicity Of all that is said or done OF
such occasions. Mr.. Aldrlch's amend
ment may cover this ground but w
do not so understand ii.

ONE OF THE BEST AND most merited
assignments made by Speaker Carlisle
in the selection of his committees was
the appointment Of Hon. II. W.
Townshend Of Illinois TO the chair
manship Of the Committee ON Military
Affairs. Mr.. Townshend as n mem
ber heretofore of the Appropriations
Committee-a position fully equal in
Importance to the head Of many other
committees-ha abundantly demon
strated his ability and fidelity to the
public interests, and his latest honor
may be regarded as conspicuous
proof of the confidence which is re-
posed in him. The Committee on
Military Affairs ranks with the other
great committees, having jurisdiction
of all the appropriations for the army
and the Military Academy, and Mr..
Townshend will no doubt exercise the
duties of his new trust with the same
diligence and discretion that have al
ways characterized his public life.
