THE REPUBLICAN, SYSTEM JUSTIFIED.

While tie new tariff has already attained
gratifying results, it is not to be supposed that
the full effect OF the measure has yet been
shown. The stocks Of wool imported while the
measure was pending have not yet been ex-
hausted and though the imports have recently
increased they have been mainly of the lower
grades Of carpet WOOL which bear compare
lively small dudes. Yet there has been enough
importation Of all classes TO prove that the
tariff is not prohbtory, as some Of its oppo-
nents asserted, but will permit considerable
importations with profit whenever the old stocks
of cheaper wool have been used up. 1t Is also
true that the extraordinary activity Of the man
ufacture and its general success In meeting
foreign competition give reason to believe that
the quantity Of wool required for consumption
will be much greater than the country now
produces while the preference Of many people,
especially Of the luxurious and fashion-loving
classes, for goods Of foreign manufacture rem
ders 1t certain that considerable revenue will
be derived from the importation Of such goods,
even though they are costly.
This Is only one Of the schedules Of which the
producing effect has not been fully
disclosed as yet. For various reasons the I'M
portations OF sugar have not been as large as
they probably will be in the near future. But
without dwelling on other details, II may be
added that the natural growth Of the business
resulting from prosperity and from increase Of
population tends to enlarge constantly the reve-
nue. derived from a particular duty, excepting
as importations are gradually cut off by the
development Of home production in particular
lines II may be expected that continuance OF
general prosperity would of itself within about
n wear add more than 100000 to the reye-
nue. obtained from existing duties in the first
year Of their full operation. If the result at
tanned is already enough to meet the ordinary
expenditures Of the Government, some surplus
may with reason be expected in times OF peace
and prosperity. Whether additional revenue
may be made necessary by foreign conditions
cannot yet be determined, though 1t is certain
that special taxes can be easily devised to meet
such needs IL they arise.
II is especially important TO take notice Of
these facts at this juncture. when the entire
absence Of anxiety about the currency Is en-
phasized by extraordinary imports Of gold. The
Republican contention that sound revenue law
would Of itself put an end to the so-caled end
;css chain and the acute distrust Of which
President Cleveland constantly complained is
all the more convincngly sustained by results
II, as opponents persist In saying, the Dingley
law has not yet realized ms much revenue as
was expected. The palpable truth that the
acute alarm has vanished, and nobody is hoard

Gold does not come hither merely because
exports Of breadsuffs have been exceptionally
large for with only ordinary exports of that
sort there would now be an enormous merchan-
disc balance in favor of this country. This
happens in part because tho defence ana pros

IRISH LOCAL GOVERNMENT.

Mr. Gerald Ralfours scheme for local self
government in Ireland meets with so little OPP
position that il seems safe 10 assume that II
will be enacted in substantially its present
form. We may, therefore, by comparison or
It's provisions with the present system reckon
the advantages 1t will bestow and form fairly
accurate idea OF the form Of local government
which will prevail in Ireland in the first year
Of the twentieth century-for the scheme, II
now enacted, will not go into full operation
until after three years from date. The change
affected will, we shall see. be in the con
sttuent source Of authority rather than In the
manner in which the authority is exercised, and
that change will be squarely in the direction
Of popular home rule.
At present the chief local agencies Of admin
istration are the Grand Juries and the Poor
Law Guardians These exercise not only the
functions OF like bodies in England and else
where but n great number Of others not prop
erly pertaining 10 them. The latter is not how
ever the chief objection to them. for al least
in the case of the Grand Juries their various
duties have been, on the whole. well discharged
The trouble is tina; they are not representative
bodies Grand Jury Is appointed by the
High Sheriff Of the county, and he in turn is
appointed by the Lord Lieutenant. so that all
local affairs are controlled directly or at only
second hand, by Dublin Castle. That IS what
makes the prevailing system odious TO so many
Irishmen. who really have no fault 10 find with
Its technical working. The Poor Law Guar
dams are partly appointed and partly elected,
those elected being chosen by limited suffrage
with cumulative features. In the constitution

masses Of the people Lave a voice.

Gated by their names, and will turn the
rest Of their present work and power-to wit,

istration-to two new bodies known as County
Councils and District Councils the former

the latter the Guardians. For the first three

nouncement that he will not be able

ditions are entirely disslmilar to those
that prevailed Mt the outbreak of the
Civil war.
we have now considerable naval
militia that is entering the naval SER
vice as volunteer force, and the or
carnations come into service fully
equipped with their own officers of all
grades. The new vessels that have
been added to the navy in large num-
bers have recently been accepted by
the government as they We're officers
and crew remaining on board ana in
the service, leaving no need for the
addition of regular naval officers except
in the highest grades Thus, in spite
of the great increase of the navy. nc
additional officers are needed. the ad-
vance having been along the whole
line
OF course, this statement applies on
~ to officers. and especially to APP
plicants for acting paymasters, ensigns
and lieutenants. and is not intended
to discourage enlistments below the

the next news of him should be taken

Manila with dispatches on the arrival

The theory of naval men here is that
Commodore Dewey could not spare a
dispatch boat and is probably waiting
TO send his report by the merchant
steamship which runs bl-weekly be-
tween Hongkong and Manila.
Robert Chayne. thesIondon agent of
the indo-China Steamship Co. which
owns the line between Hongkung and
Manila, said to the World correspond
ent II am not In the slightest degree
surprised at the delay in hearing from
Commodore Dewey. Aside from the pc
cuiiar circumstances OF his position,
the dangerous character of the sea be-
tween Manila and Hongkong is quite
enough to account for the non arrival
OF dispatch boat.
