THE SURPLUS AND THE TARIFF.

II a report telegraphed from Rochester is not
inaccurate, at least one of the members of the
State Sheep Breeders Association needs light.
lie Is reported as having asked how the
tariff could be reduced 50 rs to get rid Of the
surplus without touching the wool industry"
Apparently he is not aware that the duties paid
on imported sugar amounted in the last fiscal
year to $4,000 900 more than the surplus.
1t was recently asserted with much bumptious
positivencSs that the sinking fund had been
overpmd already by 81 0,000 600, so that
there was no obligation Of law to apply any
further revenue to that fund for fourteen yelrs
TO come. But this assertion is contrary TO the
very explicit language Of the act for funding
the Heating debt Of the United States, ppIoved
February 25, 1862, which provided (Section
81 as follows:
Section .. And be It further enacted, That all
duties on imported goods shall bo paid in COIN or in
notes payable demand, heretofore authorized TO be
issued and by law receivable in payment Of public Dues
and the coin SO paid shall be set apaRf as a special

Cullom, brought forward similar measure
which was laid before the Senate yesterday.
St. Louis and Washington are yet to be heard
from on this head. The two bills now in hand
are so nearly alike in many respects that the
committee will not have to spend much time
in barmonizing them. And everybody knows
that there is no time to be lost if we are to have

Judge O'Brien, of the Supreme Court, has
decided favorably on the Bridge Trustees ap-
plication for the right to take additional prop
erty at this end of the Bridge in order to in
crease the terminal facilities. Now, why should
there be any further delay in providing for the
relief of the thousands of people who are daily
crowded into the narrow quarters at present
provided? Even if the work is begun at once
IL will be some months before the enlarged
station is ready, and the need for it is daily
becoming more apparent.

No do-nothing Congress this. The hrst Dill
passed by the body which Carlisle presideo
and in which Mills and his dark lantern were tne
most conspicuous figures, became law on
January 20. The present Republican Congress
has already passed one bill. both Houses acting
on it on the same day. and sending 1t TO the
President. The bill, which extends the time Tor
the sittings of the International Marine Con-
ference, is an important one. and its prompt
passage was imperative. With such good start
and with the committees made up so early, the
record of good work done ought to be long
one when the List Congress expires.

fire in hospital or a hotel is always alarm

count of the helplessness of the people exposed
TO danger Fortunately the fire III the Pres
byterian Hospital last evening occurred at an
hour when it was possible for many helping
hands TO be stretched out at once to assist those
in peril. Owing to the activity of number of
citizens who volunteered their services and
/, whose conduct is worthy of all praise, the pa
tents were all carried out in safety and thanks
to the sturdy efforts of our well-trained and
fearless fremen the flames were confined to the
upper part OF the building, which, however,

1t does not appear just that the members of
Congress should suffer loss through SilcOtts
defalcation. So we take it there will not be
any widespread dissent from the report which
the majority of the special committee have
agreed upon in favor of an appropriation to
cover the deficiency. 1t is easy enough now to
see how loose the system of paying Congress
siopal salaries has been. Beyond doubt the
legislation needed to remedy the detects vii

Detective Howard's Discoveries.

PITIsBURG, Pa, May IA startling
exposure has been made by Detective
Howard in connection with the aaur-
der and berry of Farmer Umberger,
in Somerset county. few weeks ago.
Two brothers, David and Joseph
Nicely, are awaiting trial, changed
with the crime. Detective Howard
alleges that scheme had been con-
cocted to fasteD the crime ON two innO-
cent persons. 1t is the inten ton, he
says, to arrest Collins Hamilton and
Joseph Hoffman a few days
before the trial of the Nicely brothers.
These men Cesemble the Nicely broth
ers, and Hamilton was once before
arrested on suspicion. In the house of
Hamilton is TO be discovered a gray
wig, similar to the one worn by one
Of the robbers, and in the house of
Hoffman, there is to be found one Of
the stolen purses, containing 81 100 of
the $4,000 stolen. The scheme, the
detective says, is to go before court,
present the wig and purse and claim
that the Nicelys are innocent, and
that Hamilton and Hoffman are the
criminals.
