The very composition Of the Court made Il

obtained, of course from Great Britain. II

lican way, whatever may be decided ABOUT de-
tails, is to increase the revenue on goods I'M
ported sufficiently to afford the Government an
adequate revenue, and at the same time 10 give
adequate defence for industries which are now
depressed by foreign competition. AS the deh-
cit TO be met is at least $6O,0O0.OOO. and there
should also be surplus for reduction or debt
or for temporary emergencies, 1t Is plain that
there must be added to the revenue from other
articles than sugar nearly or quite as much IN
the aggregate as was taken off by the Wilson
tariff
But a material part Of this increase OF reve-
nue. would be reached without change in rates

which offers a premium on fraud. were replaced
by specific duties If that change alone would

SENATOR RAINES'S DISCOVERIES.

Il
The duke in Ole of Gbert's extravaganzas
who had grown weary of adulatoD was much
relieved and refreshed in spirit when he flnally
succeeded in eliciting the opinion that he was
in fact very commonplace young man. Sen
ator Raines is now getting similarly frank
verdict upon the operation Of his Liquor Tax
law; but, unlike the duke in the play, he doesn I
seem to enjoy the response to his inquiry. prob
ably because he has never received praise enough
to make him tired. Having made several eX-
traordnary statements about wholesale viola
tions of the statute, by way OF preliminary
TO the investigation which is now going on and
with apparent intention to put the Police De
partment of this city to the blush. he brought
his committee hihcr. summoned a cloud OF wit
nesses and began to discharge questions at
them with the rapdty of a Gatling gun. The
cst of all these interrOgatories Is, How do you
like nv law" and the wellnigh universal reply
thus far has been, 1--WE think it Is just about the
worst law Of which we have ever hAd any
knowledge" Few statesmen Of this or any
other era have suffered more painful upset
Of their calculations.
Our own opinion is that the general condemna-
ton Of the Raines law is somewhat exagger-
ated. and we are not averse to offering the Sen
ator such consolation as we can honestly be-
stow. We do not think 1t Is 1he worst law ever
put on the statute book, though the way in which
It was put there undoubtedly discredited all who
were concerned in that vulgar and violent pro-
cedure. AS repeatedly asserted at the time.
the method OF its enactment was It's sufiicent
condemnation. without regard to the effects
which 1t might produce upon the liquor trafhc
and the general condition of soc!ety. But there
is considerable evidence to show that its prac-
teal operation Is not wholly deplorable AS we
anticipated. II has produced much conflict Of
opinion as TO the meaning Of its provisions and
apparently it enables large number Of noto-
riousy bad characters to run saloons OF the
baser sort in security. But we cannot agree
with its author that 1t causes. or conceals, bri-
berry of the police force on large scale we are
inclined to think that it has diminished 20 some
extent the opportunities and temptations of per
sons who are not utter reprobatcs by preference
and it has certainly produced an immense
revenue, which is generally considered good
thing though it is not pleasant to contemplate
too closely what that fact signifies.
But a reasonable allowance for such merits
as the law may have disclosed thus far should
not be reckoned full discharge of public ob
cations to Senator Raines. Ii should be frankly
acknowledged that the investigation which he IS
conducting bids fair to be of great public uti-
ity, inasmuch as II is demonstrating in the most
thorough and conspicuous manner how crude.
careless and defective is the measure which was
brutally jammed through the Legislature in de-
fiance Of public opinion at the last session. and
how important is the duty OF amending it as
promptly as intelligent deliberation will permit
