J. F. HAIXOKAX. Editor.
The Tariff.
Tins vexed question comes next
in otdei-. There has been a good
dealpf mauoouvcripg for positions
by thl-J.yo parties Jn congress.
Ont-class desired to take up the
schedule ofduties item by item,
and adjust the rate in committee
of the whole. The other proposed
to refer the - same subject to a
committee which should agree as
far as possible on minor details,
and report an' material differenco
in principle. The bill for refer
ring the tariff to a commission was
so low down on the calendar that
its friends were fearful that it
could not bo reached in time.
The other side equally impatient
for the fight agree to aid in pass
ing over and otherwise disposing
of the intervening bills, so that a
fair comparison of views may be
anticipated at an early day. Both
free traders and protectionists
hare, however, undergone a ma
terial modification of the ultra
doctrines of the past. There are
few who now deem all indirect
taxation unconstitutional, and
think it the bounden duty of Con
gress to discriminate against pro
tection. On the other band many
of those who favor protection as a
means of fostering American
fabrics into competition with the
foreign article, think it is timo to
take down the scaffold when the
building has been erected. There
are those who insist upon main
taining the duty on sugar for rev
enue only, but are unwilling to
rote a tax on foreign cloths or
shoes becauso it reduces or de
stroys the receipt of revenue from
that source. The protectionists
have always beon in favor of lib
eral expenditures becauso it con.
tinues the necessity for high du
ties, and they even promise a re
duction of internal revenue bj
seventy-five millions upon the
same motive. It is just possible
that enough members may cros
over on each sido to deprivn cither
of the parties to which they belong
of the right to charge the Demo
crats with being free traders, or
the Republicans with being exclu
sive protectionists. If the matter
could be taken from the political
arena to the purer field of states
manship, it would be better for
the country.
It seems that hundreds of ppo
ple wrote to Garfield, suggesting
matters whioh they thought should
be included in lu3 letter of ac
ceptance. This surprises General
Grant, who wrote his own letter
of acceptance off-hand, and did
not trouble himself to give any ox
pression of his views on public
questions. But the circumstances
were quite different. Hayes was
elected on the strength of his ad
mirable letter accepting the nomi
nation and his promise not to bo a
candidate for a Fecond term
His letter was of &o muoh import
ance that Garfield could do no less
than follow his example, and his
letter had moro influenco during
the campaign than the platform
formally adopted by tho conven
tion. On the Chinese question,
he repeated and emphasized the
declaration in the platform which
so many Republican politicians
have lately repudiated to tho
lasting disgrace of themselves aud
their party.
The veto power on the part of
the sovereign exists in England,
but has not been exercised for
two centurios. It ia praotically
obaolete,"and to revivo it would
'bo regarded as a dangerous act of
"ursurpation, and almost revolution
ary. It will bo better for the
United States when this extraor-dinary'-power
on the part of the
President! circumscribed with
definite rules, and limited only to
tbo most critical occasions. It
might bo safe for the people if it
did not exist at alt

Toe Philadelphia Record ftas
recently lost one of its ablest
writers, and in making mention of
the fact the Philadelphia Press
incidentally illustrates . the fact
that self-abnegation is one of tho
penalties of journalism, oven to
tho most successful of its follow
ers. The Press says: "The death
of-Charles Henry Foster, one of
the editors.of the Record, was an
nounced -yesterday.- Not many of
the thousands to whom the news
came with the morning paper ever
heard his name before, and yet
there are few men whosclives have
been more unostentatiously useful,
or morequietly heroic."
The clergyman has the stimulus
of living and admiring congrega
tions and the advantages of utter
ances that are to his believers
exempt from controversy or criti
cism; ho has also his vacation
and the social backings of a liot
of aetivo friends, but the man who
dovotes his lifo to journalism,
works unceasingly, lives unknown,
and diea in obscurity, and yet such
men as Foster, and thousands of
others, by their daily contact with
the minds of the people do not
live or dio in vain. They have the
consciousness that they are of the
salt of the earth. It is enough
for them to know that their work
is done, and if they make it a
matter of conscience, and do it
well, the' must in some way reap
their earned reward, if not here,
then in somo bright and airy man
sion of tho skv.
Tiieee is great commotion in
England about tho construction
of the tunnel under the British
channol to connect with Fiance.
It resembles tho outcry raised in
America against the Panama canal
scheme of Lessops. 'Tis said th.it
tho tunnel cannot ba built any
wayyon &o ount of geological ob
structions which are insurmount
able. Then, it should not bo al
lowed, because tho Fronolunoii
might come through it somo night
and capture the Kingdom. The
idea that the Englishmen mijrht
maico such an excursion into
France, has not yet dawned upon
them Tho fact that either gov
eminent can flood it any moment
ought to erefuto such objections.
Tho bottom of tho opposition is
tho steamship and transportation
interest. They are making uso of
tho plea of public safety there, as
our speculators have been using
tho Monroe Doctrine.
The absurdity of allowing pri
vate claims by Congress is well il
lustrated by a recent bill which
passed thoSenato to pay two thou
sand dollars to an army officer. Ii
ippeare that this man, thirteen
years ago, was stationed on the
frontier and occupied a log house,
ft was burned and he claims to have
lost a largo araouut of jcvvelery,
fino clothing and such, tho inven
tory being something of a satire
upon the hardships of officers, on
tho frontier. The firo was occa-
ionod byt his own cook stove.
Senator Edmunds declared, in the
recent discussion, that by tho prin
ciple of this bill tho United States
becamo tho insurer of property of
eTery person engaged in its scr
eice. If the bill becomes a law
every man in tho civil service
ought to have like protection, and
be rolieved from the cost of insur
ant his household effects.
The Alta says that "tho jury
system in San Francisco is a farce,
and its results a mockery of just
ice in nine cases out of ten."
Tba't is an opinion which has long
been entertained by peoplo in
other places, where it would ap
pear as if there were somo system
of jury brokorage; tho same men
manage to get upon a great many
juries, and somehow make a living
out of it. The law presumes that
any man whoso name is upon tho
assessment roll is competent to
sit as jury man, and this is one of
the cases -where it would seem that
man was made for the law.
