Talk about untylng the Gordian knot, ind
ing out the Chinese puzzle or solving the most
difficult problem, why the new Tariff bill be-
fore Congress is more difficult to comprehend
than any Of them. II Is the most complicated
piece of legislation ever worked up. Remark
able as tariff bills have been generally for
their intricacy, this beats all previous ones.
1t win give plenty Of work to the lawyers,
courts, revenue officers and the Treasury De-
partment and will require little army of
officials to carry 1t out. It is not surprising
that the bill meets with good deal Of oppo-
lobby Il engaged to doctor and push it through,
for 1t exhibits no craftsmanship and is both
crude and cunningly devised to protect certain
classes and interests. While it appears to
favor the masses of the people by reducing
the duty on tea, coffee, sugar and other arti-
cles Of general consumption, the reduction is
only just sufficient to benefit the merchants
and traders without reaching the consumer.
We question If the people will derive any
advantage or see any change ip the price
Of these articles worth speaking about. At the
same time there Is no reduction in the duty on
coal, an article Of the first necessity, and the
changes In duty on iron Of different classes make
the tariff more burdensome on this article
In fact, the tariff has been mads more with q
view to protect the coal, iron and other inte-
rests than to benefit the people or to improve
the revenue We might notice many other
articles to show the same ingenious contri-
vance to protect the manufacturer and particu-
lar interests while holding false hope of
tightening the burdens of the people; but it
would fill volume to analyze the bill and
show all its Inconsistencies. Our whole tariff
system is wrong, and it is absurd to attempt
the doctoring plan proposed by Mr.. Schenck.
Better let the tariff remain as it is till the
demands Of the Treasury will permit of
general reduction and thorough revision.
Then tho bulk of the revenue should be
raised from few articles of luxury, such, for
example, as spirits, tobacco and other things
that are not necessary, that are rather inju-
rious. and yet that enter into general con-
sumption. This would simplify the tariff,
reduce very much the cost of collection, and
would enable the government to take the duty
off articles Of prime necessity. This tinker


ing the tariff shows that we have no statesmen
at Washington capable Of handling the subject
and that the protectiOnists control the legisla
ton of Congress for their own benefit.

PAPAL JNFALLIBLITY-THE CONDITION OF
THE PoPE.-Papal infallibility is unquestion-
ably the great religious question Of the hour.
A big vote has pronounced the whole thing
absurd. The Pope is fond Of infallibility; but
the good old Pope trembles. His now failing
health makes it plain to oil the world that
infallibility is nearer dream than reality. If
he should die the world would enjoy the
futter more than the victory. In any case,
infallibility is, 80 far as we know the facts, a
fallacy. Councils have been great bungles
before; but the greatest bungle promises to be
that Of the Vatican.

We publish in another column of the HERALD
full particulars of the recent great battle
between the C,ibans and the Spaniards near
Guaimaro The mail accounts corroborate
the kilograms already published announcing
the complete victory Of the patriots over their
opponents. General Pueblo, who commanded
the Spanish army, anticipated nothing like the
Nuevitas on the 25th of December full of great
expectations. He went out to bring the rebel
lious Cubans to subsection. His promises
were loud and boastful but five days later he
realized that his boastings amounted to
nothing. All along the road he met q deter
mined enemy. Every inch of ground was
contested, and when at last he encountered
the patriots in force, between Palo Quemado
and Guaimaro, he found that he had
for opponents brave and hardy soldiers,
at least, in the art Of war. What
has been the result? A most disastrous de-
feat, in which he lost hundreds Of men, some of
his best officers killed, and he himself wound
ed. Yet General Pueblo might have Jared
worse. Had it not been for the treachery of .
negro his whole force would have been annihi-
lated. This battle may be justly considered as
the most important Of the war. 1t was fair
test Of the bravery and fighting qualities Of the
Cubans. They were led by General Jordan, o
capable and experienced commander. OPP
posed to them was . force about equal
in numbers, better equipped, and COM
manded by an intelligent but rather vain
leader. In the test to which the Cubans have
been subjected they have come out with honor
able distinction. They have met the enemy in
fight of his own seeking and driven him back
to the shelter Of that seaboard city from which
he so vauntingly issued as the old year was
drawing to CLOSE. It augurs we'll for the
Cubans that they inaugurated the new year
successfully. Let them follow up the advan-
tages they have won. General Goyeneche,
who left Puerto Principe to go to the support
Of Pueblo, is now reported missing Perhaps
the fate Of Pueblo is in store for him also.

Probable Channel RaoO Between the


Cambria and snppho.


Bya cable telegram in another column 1t
will be seen that there is some probability OF
race between the yachts Sappho and Cam
bria, though not one of the races proposed by
Mr.. Douglas In his recent letter to Mr.. Ash
bury. Mr.. Ashbury, in answer to that letter,
now decliaes the direct challenge it contained,
and furthermore withdraws his own previous
proposition to race the Sappho unconditionally,
requiring time allowance for the difference in
the size OF the vessels, as ascertained by
New York measurement. With this condition
he is willing to match his vessel for the seve-
raj Channel races hitherto discussed or to sail
three races on q new course This course is
triangular, around two lighthouses and point
at sea. The Nab light is just off the Isle Of
Wight, and Overs light is fifteen miles away,
on the Sussex coast. The course proposed is
to start from the Nab light, sail to
and around Overs light thence to and
around boat twenty miles from land,
and back to the Nab light. Such course'is
evidently one that offers great advantages to
an English boat, from the fact that it lies quite
within the influence of the land breezes and
currents with which, of course, they are
thoroughly familiar, while yachtmen from this
side are not. This one advantage for boat
that is at home in those waters would more
than neutralize any advantage the Sappho
might have in her size; yet we see that Mr..
Ashbury requires the start that time allowance
may give him. AS the size is to be found
by the equitable system Of measuring used
here, this will not be very great yet we can
not but observe that the owner of the Cam
bria, for man who thought Americans
would not make a race where they were not
sure to win," has remarkably keen eye to
all the little points. Should this race take
place it will be a very interesting trial Of two
fine boats in waters in which Englishmen do
not doubt they are our superiors. 1t appears
that Mr.. Douglas defiance to all England for
an ocean race is still without an answer.

APPROACHING WAR IN WINNIPEG-It is
now stated that the Canadian authorities are
preparing to throw force of men into Win

Hudson Bay Company has probably encour-
aged the New Dominion government to make

that it is probable they had not been dead over

that the little ones must have endured during
the half month that they lived, wandering
about night and day through the dark woods
in the winters cold and storms, is enough to

heinous offences that have been committed
here in shielding murderers by the very
machinery contrived for the administration
Of justice. Our city is corrupt and rotten
with the guilt Of this offence. The Judges
ermine is dabbled in the blood of the citizen,
and he holds his place, not to protect society,
but to protect its foes. Our municipal func-
tionaries are chosen in great part from the
rufianly classes Of society, and the power they
WELD in Office is used to protect their asso-
ciates and intimates in the perpetration of out
rage. 1t is for this reason that open, bloody,
fragrant murder has been committed in this
city within few months and the murderer
dismissed without any inquiry whatever into
the offence. 1t is for this reason that one can
count on his fingers twenty murders for one
execution. The instincts and sympathy Of
the men entrusted with the safety Of
society are with the dealers in outrage and
violence-the potent fountains Of political
power, who can commit no crime in their
hours of frenzy that they may not condone on
election day. The authorities and the crimi-
nal classes stand in the relation of confede-
rates, and while one does violence the other
obstructs punishment to favor escape. Is not
this the plain history Of all the recent notori-
GUS murders and murder trials9 What other

question or tho liability Of married women as sure

cision:--


"Where married woman, possessed OF separate

band, without consideration and without benefit to

terms to charge her separate estate with payment.
held, first, that an action at law on such endorse
ment, the complaint In which sets forth, In addition

necessary Is her declaration III the contract or en-

This emphatically overrules the decision OF the
General Term OF the Third district in the same case
holding that the Endorsement shonld have speci0-
caly described the property to be charged and have
been executed with all The 0rnalites OF mortgage
and also that an action at law ON such endorsement

Previous to the great Revolution of 1889,
which shook the foundations of nearly all time
honored and long-established institutions the
standing armies of France were formed by
levies, but the extensive and murderous wars
which followed this eventful catastrophe having
soon absorbed all that could be made available
to fill the ranks of the regiments, levying was
abandoned and conscription resorsed to. This
system has since prevailed up to the present
day.


The present French army is most decidedly
creation of Napoleon Ill He understood best
how to avail himself of the opinions of the most
eminent military men of his own nation, and,
far from despising or undertaking the ideas
which had originated reforms in other coun-
tries, his quick perception could not fail to con-
vince him that, while the French army had
formerly been looked upon as superior to all in
armament, effective strength, and adaptabiity
for great and lasting contests, formidable rival
had sprung into existence during the last five
years bidding fair TO distance all others in modern
military improvements and army organization.
Up to the year 1865 the active army was
the only available force in France and while it
furnished all the troops necessary for field ope-
ratlons in time of war, it likewise defended the
frontier garrisoned the fortresses, and disci-
plihed recruits. In this manner, the numerical
strength of the standing army, while not at all
too great in itself, became curtailed to very
alarming degree, as was only too clearly shown
during the Italian campaign of 1852 The
aggregate of the troops sent across the Alps to
battle against Austria did not comprise more
Lnan one-t0urth or the standing army, yet so
great was the requisition for various purposes
that the formation of an imposing division to
check the suspected movements of Prussia and
of the German Confederation was only effected
through the greatest exertions and under enor-
nous difficulties.


In order to provide against the recurrence of
such contingency the formation OF the Ma
tional Garde Mobile, on the plan OF the Prus-
sian Landwehr, was decided upon. They have
to perform the entire military duty required in
the interior of the country during the war, so as
to leave the whole of the active army available
for the battlefield. The French military force
is in three distinct parts-the active army, the
reserve, and the National Garde Mobile.


Every able-bodied adult is liable to service in
the active army unless he can procure substi-
tute. The number of recruits for the army
varies according TO momentary requirements
During 1868 and 1869 100000 men were drawn
each year, while for 1870 the Minister of War
only demanded $4,000 men. The number of
young men coming of age amounts to about
$4,000 annually, of whom 10000 may be coA-
sidered fit for service. They draw lots to decide
who has to enter the active army while the re-
mainder aye assigned to service in the National
Guards. from the 100 600 recruits usually desig-
mated for active service we must deduct; 9OOO
