Entortatn- ment by the Hindoo fugglers, BATURDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1881 = o————————— Tug New York Tax Commission has been appolnfed, but Its usefulness has been im- paired, if not destroyed, by n provision that it shnll have merely ndvisory powers. It willbe n 5017 of annex to tho Joint Legls- Iative Committec on Taxation, through whom 1ts reports must be made, If 1t Is purmitted to report at all. ‘The seven membersare to have salaries of $20 per day each nnd expenses; and Mr, Alvord estimates that tho cost of the advice furnished by the Conumlssion will ba not less than $8,000. It would be cheaper aud better for the people of New York to elect 1n the first place men who.are capable of per- forming the dutles pertaining to n legisintive posltion without paid ndvice; but ‘the need of keeping in with-the “boys” and handling tho “*ropes” resulls In the nominntion and election of o very different order of states- men. Mz, Esony Coun, of Kuankalice, IIl,, has been recommended by the Illnols State Bonard of Agriculture for appointment ns Comnissioner of Agriculture. He s inall respeets well quallfied for the place, belng oneef the largest farmers inIilinofs, nnd having besides a well-enrned reputation for business ability and exceutive capaeity. Mr, Cobb I3 o member of tho State Board of Agtl- . culture, President of the Board of "I'rustecs of the Industrinl University, and President of the Natlona! Bank at Kankakee. On tho scoraof locality he is certainly fitted for the nince, ng the ralrlo State lends all others in the amount and varlety of Its ngricultural productions, and he §s one of the most active men {n It In promoting nll such Interests as tlie Commissioner of Agriculture lins to deal with, Gen, Garfield' wontd be sure not {o mako a mistake if he should confer this ap- pointment upon Mr, Cobb, M. Nast ceased to have the power of making good pletures when he dehnitly nt- tached himself to apolitical machlne. Fho defense of popular rights and pure govern- ment against fraud and solfish ambition Is not a fit object for earleature, ‘t'he last ear- toon In Iarper's Weekly directed ngninst Mr, Schurz is fallure, beenuse there Is no truth in it. Schurz’s administration of tho Interfor Department has notbeen marked by *jobbery.” 1le has not come short of publle expectation founded on his own eritielss of previous administrations. Not even In tho Toucn business, which Mr. Nast has selected 1o point his moral, has the present Secretary .made o mistnke or blurred his record with o seandnl, ‘The fault was with n company of Massachuselts men, who sought to improve tholr own reputations for humanity by the cheap method of nttacking a faithful public officer. Mr. Schurz can stand that sort of thing, 1t Is an honor Lo hlm tobo lnmpooned by Nast. When it I3 remembored that the samo penell which now magnifies the Poned hypoerlsy was lately used to glorify thedeeds of Delano, the honesty of the person who Holds it may well be doubted, ‘Tsie Dorsoy banquet 1s rapldly assuming the phase of a publle seandal, The Impu- dence of the thing was nstounding, 1t Dor- soy lind “saved” Indiuna, ns his overzealous Triends elahined, why should the feat be cel- cbrated In Now York? Ludirnnpolls would lave been the proper place for it. Tho peo- Mo there know what the facts nre, and who is entitled to the eredit of carrylug the State, 1t Dorsey and his frlends hnd been contont mercly with sounding his praisss the -affulr might have been pormitted to vays as n pleco of hurmless though Il-thmed vanity, It Now nppeurs, however, that the banquet had un ulterior ebject, "I'he cause of the sudden rejoleing in Februnry over Mr. Dorsoy's per- formances In October is an application on his part for & certuln share of Federal patron. age. The New York Times and Now York erald concur In saylug that he has gone to Mentor In his capacity of savior of Indlana 1o ask that De Witt Clinton Whoeler, late of tho Noew York DPotles Bonrd, be made Second Assistant Postmaster-General, As this oflicer lins chargo of the lettiug of star wmall-route contracts, and us Mr, Dorsey would bo on the *Inskle® in al) bis oporn- tions If Mr, Wheeler should b appoluted, the purpose of tho Delmonico bunquet ks ape parent. It was only neeessary to cap the cllmax of the “spontancous” demonstration to show who paid for . ‘The Times says that Mr, De Witt €, Whecler hluself footed the bllts, whilo the Herald declares that they huve net been paid at all, but that Mr, Dor- suy holds them lf hls capacious pockets, und that he gave his remarkable testimonial of piblic csteem amd gratitude to himself. Whatever the truth may be, there st bo fond for palnful reflection to some of the guests present at the *banaue” i the ugly rumors now aflont coneerning it "Tite vote o thy final passage ot the River and Harbor bill, 1t 1y entivély safo to say, was tha largest, with ane exceptlon, recorded in this session of Congress, There were 103 yeus atd 8¢ nays; total, 847, Tho excoption was o vote taken on the passage of the bill under suspenslon of the vules and the pre- vious question without reforence to tho Com- mittes of the Whole, when somothing like 200 members answered to thoir names. The absentees on the fivat vote were thirty-threw ad on the seeond forty-six, and sonio of these were patred, ‘'The Iliinots members who voted agalnat tho bill were: Forsyth, Fort, Movrison, Sparks, Springer, Town- shend—0.

The vote of tho members from the sixteen Southern States, which Is In some respeets the most slgnificant of all, was as follows: Yea, 805 nay, 03 absent, 17; totn), 106, The terms of the bill must have been most satisfactory to the Solld South to Induce so extraordinary o yote In its favor. T — REFUNDING PRACTIOALLY DETERMINED T'he United States Sennte yesterday come pleted Its work on the Refunding bill, and the result was substantially the sawe Tits TuimuNe predieted it would be from the partlsan color which the debate and the vot- Ing thereon assumed towards the Intter con- sideration in the Committee of the Whole, ‘The bill goes back to the House in the fol- lowling shape: Flyat, the bonds running from five to ten years and bearlig # por cont interest; second, Treasury notes running from ono to ten years to bo mnegotlated ot & rate of interest not exceeding 8 per cent; third, tho expenso of placing the Joan authorized to an amount not exceeding one-half of 1 per cent; fourth, the same coerclve measure for compelling the Na- tlonul banks to subseribo to the new lonn ‘which the Hounse bill contained; fifth, and the ndded foature that tho bonds and notes issued first shall run the longest when tho Govermmnent shall exercise its option of re- demption. ‘T'he only serious effort made in the Senate yesterday to change the 1ouse schemo was In connection with the fifth seetlon, relating to Xattonal-bank securities. Senator Morrlll proposud that the restrictions of this section should apply only to such Natlonal-bank cireulation ns shall be issued after July 1st next, in order that the banks should not be 1hmited to the new class of securitles so far ts thelr eirculation now outstanding is con- cerped. "The falrness of this proposition Is evident, but It was voted down by 82 to 28, ‘The motion to strike out the entire section wns lost by o vote of 20 yons to 32 nays, The Nutlonal banks hold about §225,000,000 of the Sund 0 por conts which are subject to call next May and July, ‘To maintaln thelr clrenlation they. will be compelled to substl- tute the 3 por cent bonds praposed by this Bl ‘Thelr authorlty to reduco thelr eircula- tlon Is constralned to o certmn exteit by the sune sectlon, which repeals the free-banking fenture of the present Inw, and retnncts the statutes which require the banks to maln- tain one-third of their capital in Unlted States bouds ns security for elrenlation. ‘The Lanks which may bo dlsposed to reduce thelr circulation to one-third of thelr capltal, and even to reduee thelr capitul, In order to avold tho compulsery purehuse of the 3 por cent Donds,. will Dhe still further embarrassed beeause, under the statutes refnneted, thoy will be compelled to liunt up and retlro thelr own notes, instend of avatling themselves of tho present Clear- ing-llouse fucllities In the Treasury Depart- ment.

Anybody who takes the pains to ohserve Congress, efen at ndistance, ean hnrdly fall to note its slothfulness and indifference to the public Interests. P'ersounl observation, lowever, serves to magnify theso character- istles, and to reveal the most startling evi- denees of selfishness, stunkdity, lnziness, and incapacity, These varlons defects aro so widely distributed that in these eases whord two or three of them cannotbe falrly chinrged ngalnst a Congressmnn, oue or two of the ‘others are develuped to an abnormnl degree. and contribute to tho general uselesness, 1t the American people conld be provided with spy-ginsses of sufiiclent power and turn them simultaneousty upon Congress without warning durlng the sesslon of o single day, tho Intelligent and practieal portion wonld Ue so much amazed and disgusted os to serl- ously contempluto an abandonment of the so- called representativo system. A story Isfold of ncertain Senator from ono of tha Far- West States who came to Washington won- dering what In the world induced his people to send such an incompetent person as him- self to Congress, e had been there only fow doys, however, until he began to wonder why it wns that the others had been sent on Congressional missions, Thoe lan- guago he used to express liimself was n good denl more emphntie.

Blaino and Carpenter were excusahly absent, because they have been ill. Othors have mneglected the debate aud the mensure dellborately, Mr. Edmunds went off to attend to & law ease in New York dur- ing tho two days of discussion, Mr. Conk- ling was on o wmissiou to Mentor, presumably in the interest of ofifee-seckers directly or In- dlrectly.

Nor does the voling alone in order to coun- teract thg vote of nn oppouent comply with the lino of, duty when men like Edmwds, Conkling, and Dnawes nbsent thomselves pending consideration of o measure so fm- portant as the Funding bill. The Instances of thne-wasting and neglect in the Ilouse are so frequent that one is al- most nt n loss to clte. A characterlstie pleco of solflshuess wns shown the othor night by Senator-eleet Conger, of Michigan, who lins had & quasi-recognition ns the Jeader of the Rtepubliean sido of the House in the present sesslon, The House was In night sesslon on the River nnd llarbor bill. Conger was ong of 1ts most zenlous advoentes. The fow op- ponents got fagged out toward the worning hours, aud tne bill wns progressing rapldly. Amendments looking to Increnses had been voted down on nll sldes so as to Insure the speedy passageof the bith A proposition of Mr, Conger’s for an increnso of » couple of thou- sand dollurs somewhere was treated in tho same way. Thereupon Mr. Conger forgod Dhis former zeal for hurrying on the measure, demanded a call of the roll—which requires half an hour—to nscertain that there was no auorum present, and proposed to bLlock the whole proceedings, Nothing more selfish can be Imagined, snd yet notilng move char- acteristic. A common occurrence was that of yesterday, in wj:lch tho Apportlunment bill, which had been made the order the dny before, was forced out of the wny to make room for the Agrieultural bill, thus eacrle fichug the time that had been consumed the day previous on apportionment. ‘I'ie con- sideration of the Agricultursl bl served muinly to give Mr. Hurd an opportunity to make a free-trade speceh, and Mr, Kelloy a pretoxt to reply with n protectlon argument, DBoth specehes were able each In Its own way, but irrelovant and uscless at the thme. The Democratie sid of the 1louse listened to Mr. Hurd, while tho Republican slde was de- serted. When Mr. Kelley began tospenk the Roepublicnn siue filled up, and the Demoeratie members seattered, In tho snme way per- sonnl, sectional, and partisan influences are constantly asserting themselves, Few mem- bers of Congress carry any senseof responsl- LIty beyond thelr fnnnediate constituency, which they think thoy plense best by local grabs and partisan efforts, mud mauny of them are not constralned even by such considera- tions. — LAWYERS AS LEGISLA TORS, Tha records of our State Leglsluture—and perhaps of the Leglslntures of other Statos— discloso in the charncter of many of the bills proposed the presence of the youny, the en- terprising, sl the adrolt Inwyer, whose first nppentnnee as i lawmnker s (o remove dif- fleulties ho hus encountored In his own per- haps llited practice. This I8 shown In nunmerous bills proposed by these young men. A litge Hlustratlon of this Kind of legialation is exhibited by the bill of Gregg, ot Saline, which proposes, In tho interest of the **poor mun,” that It shall be the privilege of any porson having o sult to take appeals from adverse judgmionts through ail the courts from the Justice of the Teace to the Supremo Court of the State, und that every thne s judgment Is rendered the Court shall delivor o written opinlon. Under the pres- ent law, appenls, uxcept tn certaly classes of cases, stopat the Appellute Courts, where writ- ten opinfons ave not requlred exeopt In cases where the jJudgmeuts aro reversed. Gontla- men of tho Bar like Mr. Gregk, who have swall cases to attend to, and fow of them, do not relish the fact that their fees must stop when the adverse judgment of the Justice of the Peace or of the Circult Court i3 cone flomed. They demand another ¢hance, mul Insist upon subjecting thelr unfortunute clients to the costs and penalties of another appeal, and this thwe to the Suprewe Court. ‘Thoy Instst, also, that when their nppeals are overruled, the Courts shall file, In writ- ing, the renson why the argutents of the ap- peating connsel haye faled to convines the Court, "Tho faet that all this mudtiptieation of the costs of litigation §s fatal {o the Inleresta of elignts who have such eounsel s no welgh with this class of the legal traternity, These men nover compromise n easo, or arbitrate, or advise a cllent not to litlgate.

'This Is objected to ng a wrong, beeauso thero are other printers who have ne employment. The remedy proposedsls to have a conmitteo of cnch trude who shall break up thiy per- manent employment and digtribute it from tlme to thme, so that every workman sholl have an equal share. Though nomn- Inally suggested in the Interest of tho printers, it apples equally to all trades and occupatlons, It I8 of courso part of the genoral warfare against industry, thrift, sobriety, and personal reetltude, Like all tho other suggestions of this Communis- tic organization, it proposes to bring atl men to 0 level,—by leveling downward instead of 1ilting auy one up., Substantially, the propo~ sitlon would bo the same If all the earnings of all the printers In Chieago wero pald over weokly to n committes to bo distributed equilly among all the momberaof the trade in the city. Thoe man who did no work, the man who werked daily, the poor workman, and the skilled worknan, would all shave alike. Tho man afificted with chironis thirst and enrn- fng no money with which tobuy drink, would have to be supplied from the earnfugs of some other man who, having better uses for his money than buying liguor, worked Tegu- larly, sklllfully, and industriously, The two men would be placed on a level, tho one re- duced to the degradation of the other. Ag with the printers 'so with every other other trade. - ‘The unemployed would ln- crease rapldly. Those unwilling to work, und theretore not earning anything, would be regular In thelr presence at the weeldy pay-day for thelr share of the commen pool, Two thousand five hundred persons em- ployed In the shoe business, and carning according to theiv skill and Industry from $7 to $30 n week, would have thelr wages pooled und divided equally per capita, not ouly among all the 2,600 persons at work, but also among 600 other workmon not ¢mployed nt all. This i3 the leveling-down process by which It 1s proposed to clovaty the dignity, skill, and material benelit of tho wage labor- ers of tho country. Tho Iatest deelarations of this labor organ- Izatlon to render employment uncertaln, carn- Ings insecurs, and thrittdlsgraceful, If propor inany sense must be applled to all occupa- tions alike.
