If he represented no- body but himself his views on any public question would be unlinportant. But he Is, for the thne being, the spokesman and part ot the votIng-poyer of the Pennsylvania school of ecunomists. Io represents the Pennsylvduia idea. His notions of ravenue- reform have a temporary interest because ‘thev have been imparted to him by the long- headed members of Its party at home, among whom his venerabloand sagacious father de- servedly holds a high place, Mr. Cameron Is in favor of revenue-reform, Tle is not to be’ outdone in this respect by nnyhody. But his Ides of what should con- stitute true revente-reform are slightly dif ferent from those of the Free-Trade League, Jn conversation with a reporter on a hotel- plazan, the other dny, Mr. Cameron detined iis policy. Ile is in favor of rednelpg taxa- tion, “beeause we are paying.the debt too fast.” He ts opposed to any reduction of the duties on Jmports. ile advocates the aboll- tlon of the tax on tobacco, which brings Ina revenna of $40,000,000 a year, Ile sald on this poluts You soe, every sallor on, that steamer smokes anid chews.

Al miners, Juborers, deck-hands, and tnechanics use lobueco fi some form, and they pay thelr tax on it, -Now, take that off, and all these consumers at once percelye tha ‘Hght> ening of the fond. * Mr, Cameron did not say. why, In his jndg- ment, “we nro puylug the debt too fast.” But he deslres the abolition of the tobacco tux for the alleged purpose of “Nghtening the load” npon the consumers of tobacco, Now, it ts a natural luquiry, Why should the consumers of tobacco be entitled to a prefers ence Jn this respect? Are they more de- serving than other classes of the people? Or is tha tax finposed upon them econoleally lesa defensible than that levied: upon pig- fron, for example, or paper, db blankets? The tobareo tux Is voluntary, Nobody need pay it unless he chooses, If the tax Is burdensome tt may be ayolded. ‘The. con- sumer may stop the use of tobacco, It Is not neeersary to Ife or comfort. Moreover, It is not an article of universal consumption, Worden and elildren, for most part, do not use ft, and more giant hue the mate population ava not habitiul consumers of tobucea, Boys should not use ft, though Mr. Cameron says they do, If -tobacca- nalng is not a vice It 1s anindulgonce, Hence sho tax on tobacco isecoifmleally one of the soundest and most justliiable that ean bo levied. It does not enhance the necessary cost of lying. But it does put a premium on thrift and abstinesige, or moteration, ‘The tobacco tax isn good one, in the second place, because It Is easily and cheaply col- lected, and ovasionsof itaredinicult, Senntor Camoron does not propose to abolish the tax on imported tobacea, which gives somo troubis to the Collectors, “The taxes on do- mestis tobneco are tovied In the aanue factories, ‘The penalttos for frand ean be swiftly and certalnly Imposed, and they are go guvere that no person having a large enpl- tal invested in the business can afford to in- eur them, Every manufacturer who pays the tux has a iotive to assist the revenue officers In calivcting Jt ag against all eum potitors, Finally, the tax ts iuiltrect, It ls paid by the consumer, and the burden of It is not felt, ‘The manufacturer transfers it to Ils customers, ‘The former his uo cause for complaint on account of it, except ns It may tend to check consumption. 7 Senator Cameron's argument docs not hold together, ‘ho slightest analysis of it will show that he is opposed toa rapid reduetion of the debt, not, us he pretends, because he wishes to diminish the burdens resthur anan ‘The treatment must be a# complex as the The vindugts will go a | ,svon as he gets out rushes into drinking the people, but because he wishes to have a decent pretext for maiutalning burdens upon the people in the shape of a high prohipitory tari, If his sole obfect were the rettef of the people he could accomplish ft best. through the agency of a tariff for n revenge only. ‘Tho ctistoms duties, which take on the average 3 from the people for every 31 that govs Into the ‘Treasury, are the real souree of public discontent on account of excessive taxation, a ‘Cho Pennsylvania iden has had full sway in our revenue system sines the daty of the War, Iteaused the nbolition of the tax on ten and coffee, It contributed to the enor mous Increase of the pension list, with the express purpose of making the expenditures of the Government nearly equal to its reve: nies. ‘There is too much reason to fear that itimay be suecessfil in jis designs upon the tobacco tax, whieh. all civilized Govern- ‘ments have maintained and are now unin tahiing as the tenst-odtons form af taxation, ‘The sale of tobacco is a monopoly In France and Russia, and Bismarck is serlously con- templating the wisdom of taking [t, under Government control in Germany.

Dr. Channing clatims that the fnerease of lunacy 1s not so great as it lins appeared to Le, because greater diligence Js used In searching out tinatics than here- tofore, and the treatinent has also improved, So far as thelr treatment is concerned, Dr, Channing says that, although Insanity is a disense of the brain, the subject cannut. be cured by medicine or mere hospital care. moral, socini, and physienl treatuent of the world at large, -Upon this point Dr. Chan- ning says: . ‘To truly understand elnsalfteation, wo must be so broad aud Cree in our views that wo cnn look at tho morn! soainl, and physical aspoots of tho Question, wud adopt such measures as will best promote tho personal comfort, xeneral bappt- hess, and bealth of the lunatic who ty sent to tho hospital fur protnction. ‘The tirat thing to do Is to sepurate the ignorant, tha puor, und the Vicloua clnss from the cultivated man af, means, More attention should bo pald to tho gyehil re- Intlona‘yf thy Insane than to any othdt, tings of persond contined fn nn institution, We may say. that persons of different social condition can vo trented togothor without transgressing the laws: of nuatire, but certainly the murally good can- not be nssoclated with the bad without over- | stopplug the bounds of natural propriocty.

As to the cury and reformation of drunk- ards, Dr, Channing rlsiypresonted some vee practical ideas, Ie claims that tho cure the drunkard must be nbstinence, An in- | ebrinte needing care, he believes, should be | proceeded against like an insane person, Upon suffictent evidence the courts should | commit the inebrlate person to a reforynato- ry, specifying tho length of timo for treat- mént, hich would certainly be an Improve iment mpon the present useless practice of sending an Inebriate ton Jall or Uridawell, where he hag no treatment at all, and as with an appotite all the more furious owlug | toenforced abstinence fora few days. Dr. Channing Inys great stress upon sumMeient time for eurmg, nnd on this necessity, a8 woll ason the kind of reformatory to whieh he should be sent, he say: ‘This reformatory should be entirely unilko any institution in this country, ‘The ‘oud re- sults of a graded plan of treutment are seen tn the Reformutory for Women at Sherborn, Muss., Whore 250 [ninates aro entirely managed by women.

The Supreme Court of Minnesota has re- cently nade a decision for whieh it is entl fled to universal thanks, ‘That State con- tracted a debt some twenty-five years ago and Issued its bonds therefor, Subfsequent- Jy, after paying Interest tlicreon for a few years, n technical objection to the validity of the bonds was discovered and payment of In- terest was stopped, Thora was never any scrlous difficulty az to (he merits of the debt, it wag justly and honestly due,. but the weakness which induces nen to avuld honest payment upon a legal quibbly was too strong in the then Infant State, and Minnesota was permitted to tnke a placa among the repiudll- ating States, By way of clinching thé repu- diation ah amendment was mado to tho State Constitution prolibiting any legtsintion look- ing to the payment of the debt unless the law for that purpose was submitted tunvete of the people and was approved by thom. Some years later a billanthorizing tho payment of these bonds nt the reasonable terms offered by the holders was submitted toa vote of the people, more than onc-lalt of whom had become citizens after the debt had been contracted, and the taw was voted down, ‘The State could not be sued, and the unpald debt has been a scandal and a re- proach to Minnosota ever since. At tho Inst sesslonjof the Legislature the creditors, wha have become Impoyerished by the bad faith of the State, offered ty accept what would be about 50 per cent of the debt, and the Leg- 4 istature paased a law submitting the aceept- ofthis offer tox: yotoof the people, subject however, toa preltininary shbmission tothe courts of the question whether this law, even If ratified by o vote of the people, would be constitutional, " Tho court has manfttlly and bravely met this question, and by Inference has polnted '] out to the people of Minnesota tho injustice of their long delay in providing for the pay- went of these bonds, It has decked thatin issuing the bonds the State had entored into a contract to pry them according to thelr tenor, and that the amendment to the State Constitution was In violation of the National Constitutlon, whieh prohibits any fmpair- inent of contracts, and was, herefore, vold. The constitutional amendinent which mule guy Jaw providing for tye payment of thesv bonds dependent onity; approval by a vote af tha people was therofore-unconstitutional. - This decision sweeps away all the mavhin- ery which-has involved this claim, aud re- nands to the Legislature the direet question, “Will the Stato of Minnesota pay this debt, whieh it honestly owes, and which ifnot due by n State could be enforced by a Juidletat judgment?” Tho people of Minnesotn should feel gratetul to tha Supreme Court for this action, which opens the way for the Loglstitura to provide for the payment of these bonds without further delay, and thus Felleye the State of Minnesota from the re- proach of dishonesty which has existed so many years, .
