How Ot to Dl) It.
lx ono of "Dickens' admirable
works Bleak House be carica
tures an English institution wbicb
he-styles': "The Circumlocution
"office," tho-chief aim of that office
. beings- apparently, to illustrate
"How not to do it." Our own
American Congress furnishes ma
terial just at present for a simliar
literary creation in its pranks and
antics on the proposed revision of
the tariff. "One hundred -find
slxty-Gvo members of the House,"
says a "Washington letter, "have
already entered their name on the
Speaker's roster for speeches upon
the tariff, being moro thanone-hulf
the whole, body, Deducting the
days set aside for social subjects.
these speeches at the rato of four
a daj', if delivered, would carry the
debate up to the 1st of July."
The intention of the monopolists,
when they contrived the commis
sion scheme of delay and indefi
nite postponement of reform, was
to hurry the bill through Congress
with as littlo discussion as possi
ble. That plan succeeded in the
Senate, where only a few speeches
covered the ground on both sides.
But if the present temper should
hold in the House, a free and easy
debate, sufficiently prolonged,
would be apt to bring out an ex
pression of sentiment from the
country that might materially in
terfere with the plans of monopo
lists and their commission, which,
practically considered, means a
now lease for the existing tariff
until 188C.
Suppose the hill of the Senate
to pass the House, as would bo the
case on a direct vote at this time,
what wouldriaturally happen after
ward? The commissioners are to
report on the first Monday in Jan
uary, 1883, when Congress would
be enjoying a holiday recess. That
report would be referred to 'the
committee on finance in the Sen
ate, of which Mr. Merrill is chair
man, and to tho ways and means
in the House, of which Mr. Kel
ley is chairman.
Mr. Merrill and Mr. Kclloy are
two of the most extremo protec
tionists we possess, and they be
lieve in the doctrines .which they
preach. Nobody supposes that
they would hasten to bring for
ward any bill that would aim to
impair a policy which, according
, to their peculiar theory, is benefi-.
cial to the country.
Hence, with this power lodged
in the hands of two chairmen, it is
absurd to .suppose there would bo
any serious attempt at legislation
next session, even if the commis-.
sionors completed their task. Fail
ure at the next session would
throw tho subject over until the
winter of 1S83-34. Then it would
be necessary to revive the com
mission, or to pass a joint resolu
tion reviving tho report of the
commission, assuming it to be
made conformably to the bill as it
passed the Senate.
- That would bring the question
before Congress, if at all, on the
eve of the two national, conven
tions, and tho Presidential election
in November, 188i. By common
consent it would go over, not to
bo touched until the new adminis
tration, came into power, in tho
President's first massage of Decem
ber, 1885.
The commission bill, therefore,
means in plain English, five or
sixliundred millions of profit for
the monopolists during this po
riocfof delay, to be oxtortod from
the .taxpayers by a device of de
ception. If discussion in the
House will kill this jobr for it is
nothing elso when clearly under
stood, then wo hope it may con
tinuo all summer, until Congress
sjiall bo compelled to deal frankly
with'the country, and to bring in
a bill of honest revisoin.

Fuost tho House appropriate n
for Indian service for tho cu'su
ing year it would seem as if the
fewer Indians, the more it -cost to
take care of them. Tho enormous
sum of 65,000,000 is this yoar ap
propriated for tho caro of our na
tional wards, which, in plain Eng
lish means the supplying of them
with food, blankets anil rifles dur
ing the winter that they may
make it lively for the frontier set
tlers in tho summer. It would be
interesting to know exactly how
much of that five millions goes to
the Indian, and -how much to tho
agent land his satellites.
Theee seems to be a strange
fatality about Blaine's South
American policy. It is not yet a
year since its inception, andall the
prominent actors in it on the
part of tho United States are
dead; while Blaine, himself, is
relegated to private life.

no intention to leave Rome for
the purpose of establishing him
self in any other 'European or
American city.
