The Smuggling Question.

WASHINGTON. Nov. l9.-Supervising
Special Agent Tngle of the treasury de-
partment, in his annual report, shows
that during the past fiscal year special
agents have seized goods to the value of
Sl43, 236 and recovered S225,69O on ac-
count OF seizures, fines, etc. He gives
several instances of fraudulent lmporta-
lions and refers to the difficulties under
which the agents worked, especially in
guarding against smuggling from Canada.
The number of officers for preventative
duty on that long frontier does not ex
coed twenty and their efforts are neces-
sarlly to a large degree futile. A similar
condition exists on the boundary of Mex
leo. The Puget sound district furnishes
splendid facilities for smuggling both du-
table goods and Chinese into this country.
TIngle says he is reliably informed that
during the past year 1875, 900 pounds of
crude opium, imported and manufactured
at Victoria, making about 70,O O pounds
OF the prepared article for smoking our
poses and nearly every pound of the
latter has been struggled into the United
States. Enormous profits In opium
smuggling. due entirely to a high duty in
this country, have induced the employ
ment of a large capital and a great number
of bold, skillful men to engage in the
illicit traffic made so alluring. Referring
to the Chinese, he says the exclusion laws
are practically nulliied by clandestine
Introduction Of them through Canada.
When a Chinaman entering Canada
pays a head tax of $50. he gets a
certificate which enables him to return to
Canada without further payment should
he be detected IN trying to enter the
United States. Our courts in several
cases have given construction that Canada,
and not China, was the country from
whence these Cinnamon came. Within
the meaning Of the law the effect of this
is the Cinnamon caught and returned to
Canada Immediately repeat their attempts
to steal into the United States.
Repeated instances of this have oc-
Cured and in this manner the object OF
the restriction act is practically defeated.
Jingle urges a revision of the customs
district and laws. with a view to the
adjustment of the consolidation of the
districts in which little or no business is
done, that more aid may be given where
it is needed. New and comprehensive
legislation upon the needs of the North
west and Mexican frontiers is urgently
demanded.

New York. Nov. 19.-Many prom
ineDt members of the Republican Ma
tional league were here today to attend q
meeting of the executive committee called
to FIX the time and place of the national
convention of the league. When the
meeting was called to order, twenty SIX
states being represented, President John
s. Clarkson presided. Delegates from
different states rendered reports. After
much discussion of the time and place OF
holding the convention the matter was
referred to a sub committee which will
probably defer action until the national
Republican committee decided where the
next Republican national convention is to
be held.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. l9.-The net re-
suits of today's session of the farmers Or
CARNATIONS are that the Peoples party
has captured the alliance, and the alliance
has split on the sub treasury scheme.
The document of the autI-sub-treasury
men earnestly protested against any ac-
ton of the supreme council that proposes
to commit the Farmers Alliance and In
dustrial Union to the proposition that the
provision be made by the federal SON
gress for the government loans of money
to individual citizens upon farm mort
cages as security, or to demand for the
government ownership or control of rail
road property and transportation.
These schemes it declares %unconsti-
tutional. impracticib bic, conflicting with
the spirit of the Alliance movement and
tending to government paternalism and
state socialism; instead of relief from the
present oppression the measures promise
greater evils, being partial to certain
classes; involving the business details too
deep for the average farmer.
In conclusion. the committee expresses
a desire to cooperate with the alliance in
carrying out the principles of securing a
safe currency; Riding the lands OF trusts
and monopolies: helping the farmer and
laborer; securing an honest ballot and a fair
count and the selection for places ofpublic
honor and emolument honest aud capable
men.
The executive committee of the anti.
sub-treasury party will at once 90 to work
organizing a new alliance. the capture
of the alliance by the Peoples party

TINS book, by the way. is the first Mr..
Bailey published and was compiled from
the sketches which appeared in The
News. The principal events in Mr.. Bal
ley's life are as follows: He was born
Sept. %, 1S41, in Albany, his people
Rfterward moving to Rome, n. Y, where
he received a common school education
and learned the carpenters trade. AT
eighteen he went to Danbury, where he
worked at his trade for two years, and
in 1862 enlisted in the Seventeenth Con-
necticut volunteers, serving three years,
until the end of the war. His first liter
airy work was done on the New York
Mercury, in 1860.
While he was in the army he CORE
sponded with the Danbury Times, In
1865 he bought this paper, and in 1870
consolidated it with The Jeffersonian,
calling the new paper The News It was
in 1869 that his paragraphs were cop
led in other papers, but it was not until
1878 that the circulation of The News
was affected. January of that year the
circulation was 1920 On the 1st of
