THE LEADING ISSUE.

A Washington dispatch intimates that
the Democrats propose to make the repeal
Of the Federal elections law the leading
party issue. They are in fact driven TO
this position. On all other issues there is
about as much difference of opinion among
Democrats as between Democrats and Re-
publieans. A close look at the tariff Ques-
ton has convinced the Democratic major
fty in the House that tariff for revenue
only is impractcable. The vote on the
silver repeal bill showed divided party
On the State banks proposition compare
lively few well-known Democrats have
adhered to the Chicago platform. If the
lncome-tax idea may be considered Demo-
cratic the party as whole is inclined the
other way. 1t remains therefore for the
Democrats TO hunt up q new issue upon
which the party may stand with some
show Of solidity. But the Federal cleo
tions bill will slip from under their feet.
Mem bers Of Congress are elected in States
to serve in a national law-making body.
The people have right to know that
these members are fairly elected. That is
all there is in Federal elections SUPER
vision. The fact that when Cleveland
was President and a candidate for re-
election he was beaten indicates that the
Federal elections law is of little ad-
vantage to the party in power. Last year
the position of parties was reversed.
Harrison was President and a candidate
for reelection, but the Federal elections
law did not help appreciably. In the
middle of Harrison's term Congress was
elected in which the Democratic majority
exceeded the entire Republican vote.
There does Got seem to be much in this
new issue, and if there is anything the
Democrats are on the wrong side of it.
The right of the Federal Government to
see that members Of the Federal Congress
are fairly elected should not be ques-
toned

WHAT WILL THE RATE BE =?

One year with another the United States
imports goods to the value of about $780,
100000 Every dollars worth of imported
goods is subject to duty under a tariff
formed on the revenue principle. II one
article is admitted free and an excessive
duty laid on another article the principle
recognized is that of a pro tective tariff
The Government should collect at least
$3.50, 600. 600 through the Custom-house
This is less than one-half of the total ex-
penditure under the last two Congresses.
A 30 per cent ad valorem duty on $780,
600, 900 of im ports would produce S24O. .OOO,-
coo of revenue. Apparently, therefore.
the ad valorem rate of duty on imported
goods cannot be less than 80 per cent Of
the invoice valuations. But if any article
is admitted free the loss of revenue there
by caused must be made up from other
articles. 1t is probable now that wool.
coffee, tea, and perhaps sugar will be put
on the free list. Should these exceptions
be made the S1O0.000.o00 of revenue that
will thereby be sacrificed must be provided
! by an increased tax on other imported
articles. It is not easy to see how the
Government is TO obtain Its needed
revenue under an ad valorem rate less than
lfOn 4O 10 OU ptT cent. w nile tue nTincl-
pie of a revenue tariff is vicious, 1t will at
the present time afford considerable pro-
lection to American Industries. The
present specific duty on the product ofiron
does not exceed 80 per cent Of the foreign
cost. On some kinds of wooden goods there
is a specific duty to Offset the higher cost
caused by the duty or raw wool, and an
ad vaiorem duty of 40 per cent. Should
raw wool be placed on the free list the
specific duty on the product of wool would
! be removed. The 40 per cent ad valorem
duty on the manufacture Of wool would
remain and constitute a degree of protec-
| tioD against Importation. A tariff formed
on the protective principle would admit
free articles we do not produce and impose
higher duties on articles we produce In
competition with foreigners. More than
one-half of our present imports are free,
but the free list is subject to change
should the requirements of the Govern
ment be liz excess of the revenue provided
by the tariff as it stands.

DEBTS OF HONOR.

In view of the prospect of legislation in
the more advanced States on the subject OF
debts of honor, the State Department has
lust collected a mass of inform ton touch
ing the laws of foreign countries on that
topic. In every country some debts are
not colectible at law. In no civilized
country can a party who has agreed 10
commit crime for money collect his hire
through the courts OF law. In no country
can debt incurred by minor be col
lected, unless it was for the support of the
minor when no other source was available.
AS to other debts the laws of foreign
countries differ, like the laws of our
States.
In most countries neither gambling debt
nor bets can be collected at law. They are
debts of honor which exchanges and clubs
recognize, but not courts of law. Still, the
rule is not uniform. Losses incurred on
the stock exchanges have been recovered
in some States in this country, though the
laws are against them. In England the
winner of a gambling debt or bet cannot
collect at law. The same rule prevails in
Germany and will probably be embodied
in the new German code when it is CON-
pleted. In France and Italy winnings at
games OF skill or athletic games, such as
chess, h0rseraces. foOtTaces or tennis, may
be collected at law, but winnings at cards
or billiards cannot. In Austria all gam
bling debts and bets are prescribed. This
ella SIS of obligations is generally placed out
side the pale of the law on the ground tn at
gambling is contrary to public morals, and
also that gambling transactions are affairs
of chance, out of which no legal obligation
can arise.
In Austria or France lawyer who takes
case on a percentage cannot recover the
percentage ii his client refuses to pay.
The rule in England and in the Latin ma
tions is a legacy from the old Roman law,
which held 1t beneath the dignity OF law
yer to take an interest in his case. In
London the great barristers allow il to be
privately known among attorneys that
their advice or their labor in court is worth
so many guineas. and the attorneys rarely
fail to pay; if they did the barrisler would
lose the money. In this country we go
upon the principle that the laborer is
worthy Of his champerty. whether he be a
lawyer or a tailor. But il is crying evil
all the same. In all countries physician
may sue for his bill, but in most, If he has
made a contract-no cure no pay-his claim
becomes debt OF honor.
In several States of the Union bill for
intoxicating liquor cannot be collected at
law. Some twenty years ago Parliament
passed law providing that a bill for
liquor drunk on the premises Of the seller
could not be sued for. The law is in force
still. but it seems that in EngIan dealer
may sue for liquor delivered at domieil, In
Continental Europe bills for wine, spirits
or beer may be collected like other debts.
but in France, where the liquor was sup
piled to notorious drunkard and was cal
culated to lead to unseemly results. it
would seem that the article of the code
would preclude recovery. The courts in
Germany look coldly on suits for liquor
and it is generally sold for cash.

Two Decisions by the Local Steam

A report was made yesterday by Messrs.

mingham on the wreck of the little steam
er Emily, which occurred at Coos Bay on
July IT,
OF a total number of fftY-six passengers
only one, Charles Robinson. was lost. and
the inspectors attribute his drowning to
"his own perversity and disregard of the
injunctlons of the MASTER" Captain f. g.
Lucas.
The saving of fifty-fve lives on that
occasion reflects great credit upon the
bravery, promptitude and presence OF
mind of the men of the United States life
saving service stationed there, and the In
spectOrS mention the fact of the assistance
rendered by the life boat in their report.
The Emily became a total wreck. She
was valued at between $4,000 and 100000
and was 2S5 tons gross burden. Captain
Lucas is eXonerated from all blame, as 1T
Is found that he was entering the bay and
crossing the bar shortly after high water
and was taking all proper precautions
His steamer was in the channel and the
lead was kept going up to the time OF the
accident.

Collinsville accident of the 10th ult., in
which the steamer Modoc struck a small
fshing-boat on the Sacramento River.
Two men were in the boat at the time, but
one of them, Antonio Bruno, jumped over
board, to save himself it is supposed, and
was drowned.
According TO the language of the decis-
ion, the pilot Of the Modoc, Captain Enos
Fouratt, took diligent care to pass the
boat, but the latter pulled ahead suddenly

proposition is not so unreasonable as one

have forfeited their right to be in the
country. This right we restore them for
the sum of $50 each. 1t is a penalty for
their former contempt of law. Chinese
at home are glad 20 get into the United
States at a cost of three times $50. Canada
charges head tax of $50. If the United

less toward their Six Companies and moro

A good rule for workmen has been intro
dnced by the English Admiralty at the
dockyards, shipbuilding establishments
and store places where thousands are en-
ployed. They recognize three principles
in giving employment. First, they en-
deavor TO render it permanent; men pre-
fer constancy TO an extreme scale of wages.
Second, they have made searching inqui-
ries at other establishments and among
trade unions and the men themselves as to
what is fair rate of wages, so that the
men may not complain of being ground
down; the union rate of wages has beeh
recommended as a good criterion OF the
current scale. Third, they have come TO
the conclusion that very little more than
eight hours constitute sufficient toll for a
day, and probably they will make it eight
hours absolutely eventually. This is quite
a step in the socialistic aspect of employ
ment. Here is a Government department
positively refusing 10 employ cheap labor
