The pensants are so poor that they cannot buy clothing, and the deal- ers in calicovs and such gouds find a large spply on their hands, with no demand}, The same is true in reference to the cloth and Bilk trade, and many English merehants who have transacted business in Ruasia for years are returning to England, Ex-Senaton Conkuina’s notlon of an antl-monopoly party with hhnself as the ehlef professional anti-monopullst Is sald to tanve been sucked In from Senator Davis, of Iilnols, a great friend of the Tinperial Ros- coe.

They cannot be thrust upon them by scheming pollticlana for personnal reasons only, : , Wtarever other mortts Dr. Loring may develop as the nosy Commissioner of Agri- culture, tt Is not believed he will commit the blunder of fostering tea-culture on American soll. - Mr. Le Due’s attention was so entirely occupted by the oxperimental and ornamental that he had no time to give to the practical and the usefulin bls Department, ‘The farm- ers are, in fact, much lvss concerned about ten and sorghum than they are about corn and wheat, rye and barley; or the diseases of ve stock and tho best methods of stamping thei out. Tho State of Moasachusetts once exterminated the genuine rinderpest after It ha got o firm foothold on American soll. Dr. Loring may, perhaps, know how toapply the measures adopted there {na wider field. Ir hias been the practice in Boston to sup- press reports of tho clearances of vessels in tho interest of speculators. The responsibil- ity for this state of things was supposed to Jest with tho Collector of Customs, but this jeonis not to be su. Ho writes to the Journal of Commerce thut he has never withheld in- formation that the pudile was entitled to have, The ‘Treasury clreular requiring Col- lectora to keep back clearances when re- quested In writing by exporters to do so was repealed Dec. 10,1880, and jt was never taken advantage ot In the case of shipments to Europe from Boston, ‘The Inference seems to be that some of the reporters for the Bos- ton press have been fn tollusion with the speculators, An {nyestigutlon of the facts will follow, ‘THERE was ou amusing little scone in the Mouse of Conumons on the occasion of Brad- lough’s Inst attempt to take tho oath, ‘The Spenker asked the pleasure of the House, ‘There were cries of “Gtadstone”; but the Prime Minister took no notice of them, Stat- ford Northcote then moved that Bradlaugh be removed by the Sergeant-at-Arms, and aniinadverted on the silence of the Govorn- ment, Mr. Gladstone aroso and sald; “My beltef has been all along, and still fg, that Mr, Bradlaugh, whether right or wrong In his own mind, is.tegally cntitled to come into this House and take his seat, It would not, therefore, be consfutent, o¢ becomlng, or dike nified, entertaining as 1 do that bellef, that 1 should move that Mr, Bradlaugh should be taken away from this table, where I think he ls entided to stand aml take the oath,” But cesistance ta. the motion was not madea Governinent'question, and Bradlaugh was axcluded.

Sumyen, of Yale, ina recent reviow Article, holds that {tis Impossible to deter- mine positively what woul be the conse- quence of repeating tho navigation Inws, Our tari® has Introduced such hn artiiicial condition of things that tho buying of ships might not be profitable, evon If it were per- niltted. But the Professor belleves that the restrictions should bo rentoved, so that the triat can be fairly mace, If Amerteans should then find {t protitablo to Ro Into the carrying trade they would do so; otherwise they would not. Prof, Sumner, David A. Wells, and Capt, Codman do not agree ag to what would be the consequences of abolish- ing the navigation Inwe, but they aro all con- vinced that Amerten can nover compete with England In the building of steel and fron slips untit {tern manufacture fron and steel as cheaply ag England, When that tine comes there will be no necessity for 9 tarlit protection agninst forsign fron and atecl.- At a Parliamentary solréo held at Berlin last Monday evening, and which was attended chietly by ‘Conservatives, Princw Bismarck delivared one of thoae peculiarly petulant and threatening spoeches which are 0 com- mon with him of late, He referred to the refusal of tha Reichstag to pass certain menstres Introduced by lim, and the attempt to umend others, saying stich action gave hin Nttle pain, Ee would pursue the course he lind mapped out for himself, whether he had the codperation of the Reichstag or not. Ne also announced that ho was planning revenge on Wrtenberg and Bavaria for having arranged that the sit- tlngs of thelr respective Diets should be held atthe same time as the Reichstag. Noxt year, he sald, the Prussian Diet and the Reichstag would be held at the same time, “and Bavarla and Woirtemberg may look on.” This is certainly very extraordl- nary Innguage for the Chief Minister of o constitutional monarchy. THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT SCANDAL. The disclosures of crooked practiceson the part of certain subordinates in tho Treasury Department at Washington ares legitimate outcome of machine politics, So long as officers, high or low, are Olled with the ‘pur- pose of paying political debts, bolstering the fortunes of individual politicians, and forti- fylug “tho party’? with pitronage, so long will scandals of the Custodian” Pitney order periodically occur to disgrace the country, The assumption that the country owes something to the eltizen who lings lnbored for a stecessful political party, and that that debt may properly be discharged by conferring upon tha pretended creditor an office, big or little, Is utterly without founda- tion, And the man who accepts or seizes a place under such circumstances ts very apt. to fdel that the debt {3 not. discharged with the «mere payment of the sulury attached to it. The place man easily convinces Jiimaelf, arguing from the promise that the country owes hin a living, that itowes hima good lving, and straightwny he begins to lovk for perquisits, And these perguisits are generally to bo found {In some form In all Government of- fices. The Department clerk is supplied with abundance of pens, Ink, paper, and pen- ells. Ho tises these, first, for hls private cor- respondence in the office, ‘Chen ho takes a supply home, He sends Goverment mes- sengers on private errands, He sends a Goy- ernment Inborer or porter to his house to shake his dusty carpets, or to clear out his cellar, or to dig and plant bis garden, ‘here is a contingent fund, and the custodian of it keeps no stock of goods on hand. The pinceman feels that he has an ine terest In this fund. The country owes lim oa ying, and he ckes out his seant salary with perfodical “ grabs” at the contingent fund. As tho custodian wants to appropriate a portion of the fund to his own use, he makes it easy for those ubove and below lim to become parties toa cheap peculating rald upon the Treasury. This mlsappropriation of public property and the conversion of the services of Govermnent employés to private use, 1s not enlled steal- ing. Indeed, in its Inception, it is so very petty us not to deserve the title of theft. But the crooked habit grows by what it fecds on, until {t becomes a monstrous abuse; and It 4s fostered by tha pernictous Iden, very gen- erally eAtertnined by the average official, that the Government owes hin a lying, and that his salary is entirely Inadequate to providen good ving. Itis astoniahlg la what'a brief perlod of public service the official comes to feel, somehow, that the prime object of the running of the Government niachine Is to provide him with an adequate support. He soon forgets the clreumstance of having pleaded like an Italian beggar for the place; forgets that he was out of work and out nt elbow when he secured it; forgets that he was Jately a wrock glad to be towed into any harbor. Once in offlco, he regards the Department as his father’s house, and looks round sharply for the fatted calf, Nor does he wait Jong for the feast, but proceeds to provide It hhnself. But how can this sya- tem of petty pickings and stealings by’sub- ordinates prevall without the sanction of superiors? It is the duty of heads of De partments to see that the business of thelr ofiices fy conducted on buslness principles, They are bound to greater strictness than private Individuals, since they are trustees. The merehaut nay Le liberal with his own, but the Government ofiicer, who fs a tax eater, ls bound by the strongest obligations of honor not to ent, nor permit lis subordinates to eat; a . mouthful more than the law allows, . If tha investizatlon of Sucrétary Windom shows thathigh officials have particlpated In the benefits of this system of petty stealing It will be a humiliation to tho wholo country, Butie willbe only additional evidence of the batoful influance uf the spolls theory,—. evidence of the necessity of a radical reform of tho entire Civil Service of the Govern- ment, ,The star-route swindle doubtless could not have been perpetuated frou) ‘year. to year without exerting o demoralizing ‘In- fiuvnce upon all the Departnmnts, Many of, Gun, Brady's subordinates must have been: mombers of ‘the corrupt’ ring; many others, hot membern of it, must have suspected, it they did not know, that the Government was the subject of a huge robbery, .So a general {dea of: the corrupt practicca of the ring must have been pravalent in all thio Departments; and, og the fraud and the defraudors continued to prosper for years, the opinion that the Government. could be swindled with, impunity naturally Rained ground, We place very little rall- anve upon the inainuation -that Secretaries Evarts and Sherman were participautsdn the Pitney crookedness; asd jf tt shal} be!proven that ‘lreasury Dopartingnt employés ever dit any work in their hones it will no, doubt algo appear that such sepvich'was' procured to be rendered by the cunning d¢idge of some active purtner invthe rlug of peculus tors with the vurpose of compromising those high offtclals, But tf 1b sball appear that Cabinct officers aro equally guilty with Department clerks, stil tho vordict nist ba the same, Sauce for the goose is t, Mr. Windom. THE CUNKLING CAMPAIGN. Tho Conkling campaign has been opened in Albany, where the Legislature Is sitting, and the ex-Senator ts on tho ground to glve personal directions to his forces, ‘The strug- glo bas an ugly took, and tho Issue tg uncor tain. There seein to be several possibilities, among which may be mentioned the follow- ing: (L) ‘Tho election of Conkting and Platt, which is extremely doubtful, with the ald of Democratle votes, This would bo » Demo- eratte victory,’ sineo Conkling has nlredidy declared that he will construe redlection to warrant his acting as an Lndependent in the Senate, with special hostility to-the present Republican Administration. (2) A compro: mise upon two new enndidates, who should be undoubted Republicans, but nut actuated by any purpose to avenge Mr. Conkling's as- sumed wrongs or to inake war tipon the Ad- ministration, ‘This would be the wisest sotution of the struggle, but it may be that Conkling Is too indifferent to the Repub- lean party and his followers tao ob+ stinately attached to his fortunes to consent tolt, (8) A deadlock in the Legislature, which will prevent any cléction at the pres- ent session, and submlt the whole contro- yersy to the people next fall, ‘This seems to be tho most likely outcome, It is to be de- plored, because it risks the dangor of elect- ing two Democratic Senators trom New York State, owing to the dissension In the Repub- Mean party, but such a risk Is certainly not more objectionable than the certalnty of antl-Republican representation In the United States Senate, which would be the result of electing Conkling In his present humor, and with the ald of Democratic votes in the Leg- isinture. The Conkling men seem to think that the presence of thelr leader will damoralize the Administration forces, and that they will be able to organize the caucus and enforce Its mandates, There Is reason to Velleve, how- ever, that they underestimate the skill and determination of tho Ieaders who are opposing thelr demigod. Washing- ton advices state that Secretary Binine las gone on to Now York to take o hand In the fray, If this shall prove to bu true, Mr, Blaine will have to submit toa good deal of adverse criticism, but he will be able to render the anti-Conkling party materl- nl assistance Just the same. Nor will the criticism that Mr. Blaine may expect be founded tn justice. The situation 1s so peculiar ns to ndimit of a Cabinet ofticer’s personal interference, so far as hts own skill and endeavor may reach, in defense of the Adininistration. Mr. Conkling has openly declared war upon Garileld and Blaine, and has gone to-Albany to secure advantages by intrigues and combinations. Is it fair to contend that the Administration must not raise a finger in Its own defense? If Mr, Blaine’s political experience and wisdom are of value to the antlConkling party in Naw York, shail he be stopped from contributing thereof simply because heis a membor of tha Administration ngninst which Conkling is directing his guns? In this whole affair the Administration has been governed by motives which have met with popular ap- proval, and itis proper that it should exert itself to prevent Mr. Conkling from over- riding this popular approval by the use of his own machine without opposition. Whatever shall prove tobe the result of tha contestat Albany, Mr, Conkling mustbear the blame for bringing about such an ugly faction- al strife, His resignation without suMetent cause was designed to Impalr the eflictoney of 4 Republican Administration, and he seeks re- election with the samg alin. If he shall fail In his purpose ft will be In spite of tho most desperate attempt, and if he shall succecd it will bo because he can Influence others to be ng Indifferent as himself to tho welfare of the Republican party. Contting has come to be o selfish and unscrupulous marplot, Tho contest at Albany fs to de- termine how far he shall be permitted to car- ry his willingness and eflctency for weaken- ing the power of the Republican party. In lis confidence of success, however, there js reason to think that he has not properly welahed the forces of public opinion, which has been directed against him with surpris- ing unanimity. MORE FRENCH PROTECTION. Tho French Government is evidently bont on making Franco exclusively a market for French goods, Wo have already commented upon tho rotaliatory legislation against Amorlcan productions, which legislation has not taken merely the form of prolibitery taxation, but hag undertaken, In the shape of governmental regulations, to exclude as dan- gerous to Ite and health all the pork prod- ucts of this country. France has ‘declared commercial war upon all othor countries, She has built up her now tariil upon tho the- ory of excluding the imanufactures or other staple goods of all countries which do not exchange commouities with her. Great ef- forts have been made to arrnuge reciprocal duties with England, but they havo failed, and {t 1s now expected that tho whole cotton trado between the two countries will bo protected out ot oxistence, Retallation, however, {sa dangerous and costly system of legislation, If trade with Manchester bo cut off, then It is proposed that English capital, English lubor, English machinery, and Engllsh management will be transferred to some proper site on French territory,’ where a new Manchester will bo planted, and where trafic and production essentlally English will bo carried on, not only in the heart of France, but from France : with evory other people with whom she may bo In commorcial allinnce, The experiment of pushing protection to the utmost conctu- sion, that of practical non-Intercourse with other nations, will probably dud a falr trial {nthe present ease of France, We have had such an experinent on our hands for soe years, but wo have had to sustain us. advan- tages enjoyed by ‘no other nation” We have been an agtleultural people, We have producod the artlels of food which no other people were nt .iberty to refuse, Ilad we depended on ‘our manufacturing productions alone our commercial relations with other countries would long since havo ceased to exist, But when wo offered thom the bread and pfovislons they nesded to meet tho deficlency iy thelr own sypply, they had no alternative, Desplto our prol{uitory pol- fey we havo malntalned a foreign trade of Increasing magnitude, Our tariff has slmply punished and impoverished our own people, The protectiva policy has compelled tho several Btates of Europe to tax the food of their people, and 8 direct consequence of this is a wholeaaio exodus of the best classes 4 tho, German aud.

It was only six weeks ago thatCincinunti clected a * Reform Mayor,” and. ho has already aroused so much antagonism that public mectings have been onllet by his own party to denounce him. Mr. Means, the present Mayor, was the Democratic candidate, Dut the Sunday question was imposed upon the straggte be- tween tho parties.’ Tho previous Adiinis- tration had been Republican, and had toler- ated Sunday amusements,—theatres, cone | corts, beor-gardens, ete. A large number of Republicans, led by Mr. Richard Smith, of the Cincinnati Gazette, supported Means with the assttrance that he would enforce the Inw against these Sunday amusements. Of. course the Democrats voted for hin be- enuse he was their party candidate, and not because tho masy of that party sympathized at al with the proposed Sunday reforms, ‘Tho coulition succeeded in defeating the regular Republican candidate, Mr. Means, who scoms to boan honest man though a poor pol- itielan, has kept falth with the reform elo ment, and has made a good deal of headway insuppressing the Sunday aninsements, But in dolng this he has found disfavor at the diands of tho Democrats, who are now or- wganizing demonstrations against hin. Cin- einnatt will suffer from o prolonged and ugly strugalo over this question, and tho result will probably be to give the Sunday fmnusements greater license, If possible, than they enjoyed before, At nil events, that was the outcome of « aluillar struggle In Chicago soine years ago. Its difleutt to say, with any assurance, what tho popular verdict will be as to tho general observance of Sunday In this coun- try, If, Indeed, any uniform system shall ever be established. The native Amerienn sentt- iment inherits a disnpproval of inaking Sun- day a popular’ holiday, when the saloons, the theatres, the dance-halls, tho boor- gurdens, the concert-rooms, tho. billiard- hulls, the race-grounds, nnd so on shall be thrown open to ‘unrestrained enjoyment Eyon many of those who do not frown upon atich pleasures during the week, and do not thomnselves observe Sunday strictly as a day set apart for religious worshlp, entertain, nevertheless, a certain dread of Sunday license, and think of public amusements on that day asirreverent, ‘Thissentiment comes to Americana from Old England through New England. But tho great mass of the forefgners and their children who have made. thelr homes {n American cities take jan entirely different, but not less honést, view of the matter, They look upon Sunday as that day Is regarded almost everywhore on the Continent of Europe,—a day for fanily, social;and popular amusement. ‘They claim tho right to drink thelr beer in open placea, to play billiards without: police Interference, to go to the theatres‘and concerts, and to amuse themsolyes in any other way which Js not unlawful duting the rest of tho week. Itiga hablt thoy havg brought with them from Germany, France, Italy, and the other countries of Continental Europe, and one to which thoy school their children. So long us these two.ovposit views prevall in any community the Sunday Issue is Ikely to be revived whenever.one set or the other thinks {it can outvote Its opponents at the polls, ‘The Issuo over the observance of Sunday jsono which almost invariably leads to bite tarness and hard feeling, One reason for this is that the opposing facttous ara not will- Ing to concede to cach other honesty of con- viction or purpose. The Liberalists charge upon the Sabbatarinns that thoy are hyp- ocritical and intolerant, and the Sabbatarians charge upon the Liburalists that thoy aro tr religious and immoral.. Neither faction can recognize any reason or justico in the opposit view, and neither Is willing to inake any fair concession. ‘Che conflicting theories have such numerous followers,—nearly every- budy taking one side or tho othor,— and tho majority on clther side is so rratically distributed fn tho differ- ent communities, that it la doubtful whethor Any uniforin practico: will be ostablished for the Amerlean citles during several gen- erations. ‘Cho older communities abide by long-established practice, In New Yorke and Philadelphia, for Instance, the Sunday luws against nuusements are steadtly enforced, and rarely exelté any active realstance, In New Orleans, on the other hand, any attempt to suppress Sunday amusemonts would ba absurdly impracticable, In tho newer cities, lke Cincinnatl and Chicago, the issue will bo made from tine to time, but the growing suntimentaveins to be favorable to the Contl- nental or Uberal observance of Sunday. Ona thing ns alrondy buon pratty definitly determined by the various struggles over the Sunday laws, and thls la that thoy cannot bo ontorced In opposition to the sen- timents of the majority, The present trouble In Cinelnnnti fsa new illustration of this fact, Public sentiment Is already assort- ing Itself aggressively against the Sunday reforms, and before Mayor Means shall serve out his term of ofttce ho will probably wish ho had never been born to political Me, Und ho run for Mayor. squarely upon the declaration of a purpose to sup- press Sunday amusements, and without any party backing, he would undoubtedly haye been defeated by an overwholming mejority, “He was elected by a coalition In which the majority sought simply a party advantage which thoy could not otherwise attain, ‘Iho drift of public sontiment in Cincinnati is in- dicated by the Uteral construction which the Judges put upon the Sunday law. For in- stance, it was decided the other day that the San Frauelsco Minstrels could not give thetr entertulimont with blackened faces becauso the law prohibited “negro minstrel perform. ances,” but that they might give a concort if they omitted to use the burnt cork, Such a decision is a virtual recognition of a pre- ponderating sentiment In faver of Sunday 4musoments, and, In such case, they cannot be suppressed pormngnently, Another de- duction fully warrantéd by past experience is, that any polllleat party which saddles fiself with this Sunday lssug 1s pretty suro to come to grief, as Mayor Meats and the Democrats tn Clnelnuatl will discover by the tine the noxt election shall come around. + The Times Again fanvicted of Fraud, ‘There have been no!
