Louls Renublican, commenting upon ‘Tim Citcago 'Trimunr's denunela- tlon of the Missourt practice of train-robbery, says that just the snine sort of robbery is done allover this country, Tie 'Triuxe. never meant to charge that robbery 13 con- fined to Missourl, ‘There are robberies. cont- mitted In Ulinois, but they are committed by outeasty, and some effort is made to,eapture and punish them. ‘They are not committed by respectable farmors’ sons, nor does the comunity sympathize with the outrages ‘perpetrated by thei or extend its protection tothem. ‘The difference between Missouri and other States 1s that she Is living in a con- dition of barbariam, und has been ever since the days of har border-ruflanism, She not only tnakes no effort to punish erlmes of this sort, but she condones them, Ti chenp rates to the Enst haven varying effect upon the community, A considerable number of people are taking advantage of the opportuulty to teavel a thousnnd miles at half acentn mile, not because they have any reason to travel or any business that calls them to tho East, but because trans- portation is so cheap that {t xppears to them, something like a erlminal offense ff they fatlto avail themselves of the opportunity, They do not know why they are golug; they only know It costs but $5 to xo, sind, having the $5, tloy think It wrong not to sport” ft, A great many mors people who faye not the 95 to spare are intd because they van't zo, Mhough they have ne business that calls them there elther.: ‘The one cluss ts yery like the Wolnan who goes tu the store and buys an articte not becanse sho wants It but because it1s so cheap, and the other cluss fs jake the other woman who hasn't the money to buy the cheap article though she would have no use for It if she bought It, sd At the mecting of the Northern Pacifio Hallrout Company at New York capital stovk to the anount of 861,000,000 was repre- sented, mud $10,000,000 was not present. It will be seen that this company has outstand- (og capital stock to the amount of $01,000,000, with only 1,000 tiles of railway completed and 861 miles more under construction. 1b ts very evident that the present managers of the company haya discounted the business of watering the stuck, and have left very Ite tle for thelr successors to do tu thut way, We bupposy the Hint of stork has alreidy beew reached, and the company will have here- after to got along as well ns they may. ‘This capital stock fof two kinds, ‘There are $49,- 000,000 of common stock and $12,000,000 of preferred atock, the latter exchangeable for 8 per cont first mortgage bonds, secured by Inne east of the Missourl River, What the total nmount of outstanding bonds fs at this time is not stated.

Consent, of New York, has disap- proved the removal of Police-Commisslonors French, Mason, and Nichols by Mayor Grace. ‘The removal was made on tho ground that the oficers in question had neglected thetr ttuties us Street Commissioners. The Gov- ernor refuses to concur in the action of tho Mayor for the reason that the statute under which the Commissioners were required to supervise the cleaning of: the streets was re- pealed beforo thoy were removed from office. ‘rhe courts have uniformly hell that re- peated laws are to be treated ns It they wore expunged from the record. “Tho repeal biots out the statute, It is ay If it nover was.” ‘The position. of Gov, Cornell is legally unassailable. There seoms also to be some defense of the Commissioners on other grounds. ‘They assert that thoy ald the best it was possible for them to do with the funds at thelr command; that the streots wera ns clean during the summer of 1880, when they had control of them, as they ure now, when a separate bureau, with twice the former approprintion, has charge of thom; nnd that they were removed for politieal ren- sons alone, ‘The streets wore, ft is ndinitted, ina bad state iat wintor and spring, but the sensor was exceptionally severe, and the np- propriations for street-clenning purposes wholly Inadequate. ‘The Commissioners and the Governor have tho best of tho argu- nent. .

THE PRESIDENT AND HIS SURGEONS, Many complaints have beon Aled agatnst Dr, Wiss for his garritlonsness on the subh- Ject of the Presitent’s ease, and not without somo reason it nnust be admitted. Hie ts doing splondldly2?; the case [s progressing finely ??; “everything Is going on satisfactorily 7; “the Prestdont ts going to recover”’—these phrases, and the Ike, havo fallen from the lps of Dr. Bilsy from the begining, And turing all this thie the sick man Ins been snifering from the shock of one complication after another, following ench other In rapld succession, and in each fustance with almost fatal effect. On the other hand, ‘It cannot be denied that the complications of the Prest- dent's ense are common incidents ofsovere gunshot wounds, and upon the esenpe of the pationt from one and another of them with life the attending surgeons inuy well have felt courage aud spoken hopefully, if not oven with good assuranes, of a fayoraple Issue, Jestdds, somo nilowance must be made for the sometimes too cheering words of the surgeons on account of the pro- fessional obligation which rests upon them to maintain about the patient anal mosphere of hope. Surely it 1s not the duty of the surgeons to mnke lout proctamation of every doubt and apprehension that may onter their minds. Such a course could not fall to diseournge the nurses and watchers, and gtye to the sick-chamber a fiinereat ns- peet, Which in turn would inevitably react unfavorably upon the mind of the patient. ‘The President is not a stock or a stone to be rudely experimented upon as if without sonsatlon—to be killed or enred ag his vital organs shall or not respond to medical and surgical treatment. He has a dual nature. Ne combines great will-power with an omo- tlonnl, finaginative temperament. ‘The influe ence of physical prostratlon upon the will fs greater than upon tho linaginative faculty; indeed, it weakens the former, while It stiin- ulntes the Iatter to morbid activity. ‘To counteract thts tendency of disease to render the patient despondent and gloomy Is ‘the hnperative duty of the phystelan; and this uty the attending surgeons owe to the Press ident, regardless entirely of the effect Its strict and faithful performance may haye -upon the public. : Judged by this standard of duty, {bisa question whether Dr. Boynton ought not to be discharged from attendance upon: the President. if his views expressed outside of thesick-room are reflected fi his nspect with- init, and the pationtcarefully observes lls appearance, It must have a inost_ demoratlz- ing effect upon his nerves, For of late Dr. Boynton tn his Interviews with the nows- paper correspondents croaks ke ® raven, and he croaks constantly. Noto the follow- ing'In yesterday’s dispatches: Dr. Boynton said this morning that the bul. fotin announced that the pulse was 120 at on timo Inst night, becnuse ho bud sesterday ndmit- ted that the pulse was qvory digas bigh as 120.

Dr. Hoynton for some weeks bus jnsisted that the President hus been suifering from chronic pywmin . 2. Dr. Hoynton, referring to tho remarkably big’! crue of the President's pulse, tnforined a tri tonight that, day in and day out, the pulse aver- aged from UG to 117, Notwithstanding all these oxecedingly ploomy forebodings, the Doctor. is mado finally to say that, “while frankly adinitting the uncertalnty of the exse, ho still secs his way out, and fs of the opinion that the Prosi- dent's vitality will prove equal to the emer: goncy.” Fortunately for tho Prestlent his falthful, courageous wife, who will never lose hops while thoro ts 2 pulse-beat, Is almost constantly at his side te cheer him in the long aml desperate struggle; and her courage fs well supplemented by the hopeful devotion of the Presldont’s oft friends, Rockwell and Swalin. It is well, porhaps, that these threa will not permit thomselves to realize the desporate nature of the case over which they nover cense to watch, and of the favorable Issue of which thoy never allow thomselyes to despair, It fs really of little consequence what the sirgeons any, provided they do everything Within tha power of selence and skill to save the life of the Presi- dont and resture him to health, I¢ ts not good ground of complalnt against thom that they hopa while they struggle. If they should eeaso to hops they would cense to struggle skillfully, Even If thes leat o for- Jorn hope they should lead it gatiuntly, Four weeks ngo a panie scized the whole corps of surgeons and attendants: rt the Executlyo Mansion, ‘There was demoraliza- tion everywhere, and despalr spread from the Prealdent’s bedside to overy quarter of tho land, But in that trying moment, asin every great emergency, there was one great soul made almost subiime by hope, Alone Ara. Garileld stemmed the torrent of consterna- tlon, and the strugyle for the President's life was resumed, At thia writing the President is better than he was In that dark hour. Ilo is struggling with the Inst probable compll- eation In hts enso—pyemia, Fow patients recover from this terrible phaso of the giuu- shot wound, but some do recover; and there- fore tho surgeons haye ground for hope, and the country may join In thls hope that the Prosidont will recover, God grant (hat he may! fs tho aspiration of a great peopte, —— THE RATES OF LIQUOR LICENSES. The Hqnordealera of Illinois have been holding a convention at Bloomington, inthis State, thera belay as many as 400 delegntes prosont, ‘Their object was to devise mens: ures to protect thelr interests, and one of theag measures was to olevate the character of tho trafic, Before they adjourned they adopted w resolution declaring that “the chief object of the assoulation ls to elo- vato the calling of the Nquor dealer and man- ufacturer, und that tho, association pledges its support to the authorities everywhere in suppressing low and disreputable places, re- sorts of criminals, or additions to places of prostituttan,!? ‘Shit this resolution will bo cordially adopt, ed by the great muss of persons enga; “th the liquor trafiic wo have no ques}jor, and In this clty the Mayor will find 110 more deter utined supporters of the suppression of dis- reputable places than the Mgnordealers thenelves, ‘y But the nere prosecution of dance-houses fg not suficlont to even slightly elovate the character of the trade. ‘There are other re- forms which sre needed, and which can be | J secemniished without anv serioug opposl> -people.-Torunty Malt (Tory. tion, ‘The majority of a committee of tho City Connell of Chicago have agreed to recommend that the Heense feo be ratsod to S400 year, and Ebniting the mumber to 1.00, Et looks ag it, this sum was agreed npon for the purpose, of defeating any re- form, aud for the purpise of provoking the hostility of a large portlon of the persons who aro engaged In the liquor trafle. In tho first place, this proposed. ordinance taxes all saloons allkes it makes no discrimination, ant [creates a monopoly In tha business. Lt ignores the fact, now universally recognized, that there {sn wide differenced between the anto of malt liquors and the sate of dtstilled spirits, ‘Tho. Government récognizes this alatinetion tn its revenue laws, whero the tax 1s 81 per barrel of thirty-four gallons for beer and 1s 90 cents por gallon on sptrits, So In Massachnactts nud other States, where legistation not prehibttory, but hostite to the Iiquor trafle, las been adopted, the lcense fees for the sale of spirits are largely in ox. cuss of those demanded for the sale of beer. Inna place ts this dkference inore strik- Inzly seen than tn Chleago, ‘There are tn thia city at fenst 1,000 saloons where 0% per cent of tha sules are of bevr, ‘To place these establishments on a tevel with those whose gales ara muinly, If not exelustyely, of alco- hotie beverages, Is so clearly unjust that the ordinanee would not command public ap- proval. Whiat is needed Is to fix tho Iicense fea for all establishments whore sales arc exclusively: beer and wines at $100 a year, an inerenso of 100 per cent; and the license tee.for ull otuer saloons nt $200, or even $250, an Incrensc of 400 or 500 per cont; this would be an all- sufMficlent reform, so far ns any reform ean be xecomplished by any mere In- crease of the rate of license. An oriti- nanee of this -charaeter would bo ap proved and supported by a fargo body of the saloonkeopers in this cfly, and it would reduve the number of saloons where the sale of aleoholic hoverages Is the principal bust- ness, A writer In ‘Tne ‘inmuxe yesterday complained that this suggestion would linve no effect in reducing the numbor of dis- reputable places, because the propriutors of such establishments can always tind the money to pay the inerensed rate of Heense. ‘This ts true, but the same class of men could Just as readily rutse $500 or $1,000, and they could alford to pay even double that sun If they conld obtain, as Is proposed, the limita- tion of the whole number of licenses to one- third or less than the present number, ‘Thors are now not less than 3,500 IHecnsed satoons of all kinds, Allowing — that a large number of the grogshops would close if tha lense was Inerensed to $200, it fs still pretty certain that tho revenue from the two grades of Heense, the one nt $100 and the other at $200, would produce in 1883 not less than $500,000, 2 sum equal to the employment of 250 additonal policemen to recruit our present wholly insuflicient police force, In the first place, tho proposed ordinances will tot pass the Council, and therefore it willavall nothing to urge ft; but an ordi- nance classifying the suloons and making the incrense rensonable and just, being approved by public sentiment, may be passed by the Council, and will accomplish the onds sought by nll the Hyuor-dealers who do not keep disreputable and disgraceful establish- inonts. —_—_——— THE BINKING FUND AND NATIONAL EDUCATION, ‘The Iuw of 1863: provided that a sinking fund equal to 1 per cent of the National debt should be extabilshed, and that sum pat into Itannually. ‘This provision of law was noglected until March, 1860, when the pure chase of bonds for the sinking fund began. Since then the additions to that fund have swollen {t far in excess of the requirements of the Jaw, and all (purchases for it ought to have been stapped years ago. ‘The procesy has been to purchase annually an amount of bonds equal tot per cent of the public debt. ‘The bonds thus purchased are pub in the fund, and remain there permanently and bear Interest asif thoy had not been palil. All the bonds purchased since: March, 1860, for this fut still bear Inter- est, and this interest on these accn- mulated purchases Is annually employed to purchase other bonds. With tha annual purchase under the 1 per cent clause of the Jaw, and the annual interest on all theso bonds purchased during the Inst’ twelve yenrs, the amount due this year to the sink- ing fund fs $50,000,000, which with $40,000,- 000 left over from Inst year makes $90,000,000, Tho Secretary of tho ‘Treasury lins during the year redeemed $10,000,000 of the public debt, but has allotted to the sinking fund only $70,000,000, Congress nt the next session should abolish thissinking fund, ‘Tho original purpose was fo bolster up the public credit, but that pur- pore hits already been accomplished, The sinking fund !s now equal to the require- ments of tho Inw for the noxt fifteen years, No further purchases aro needed. Tho debt is now all funded at low interest, and there 13 no need in hurrying the payment of bonds in advance of their maturity. Congvess ought now to provide a standing appropriation of 250,000,000 annually In ald of National education, ‘This money ought fo be sppropriated per capita amone the several States in ald of tho schools, The money appropriated by Congress for this purpose’ would boa yelease to tha Iand in all these States, ‘Cho $3,000,000 falling to the share of IiMnois would enable the State to relieve the lands of Illnois of $9,000,000 now ralsed from them by direct taxution for educational purposes. So In other States, whoro nearly tha whole burden of taxation falls upon tho Innd, and where the taxation for schools is Imtted because of the inabili- ty of the already tax-oppressed Innds to bear the burden, ‘The appropriation of this $50,000,000 would bo one of the greatest of Natfonnl blessings. {t would he the be- ginning of school funds in States whera there ure now none, and where they are cs- pecitlly needed, ‘Tio secliool systems thus endowed witha fund of $1 por hend of the population, once begun, would never cease, but would grow until made equal to the ed- ucational wants of cach community. Let Congress now abollsh the no-longer-necded and yot burdensome sinking fund, and turn tho monoy now sunk In that fund over to the soveral States to endow a school system In all parts of tne Jand, The establishment of sehouls fs o¢ infinitly moro Importance than the payment of bonds not duo and only bear: ing 3g per cent Interest. 2 Bown of our contemporaries have boon wlying vont to considoruble, but unnecessary, indignation over a statement avout tho tithes that have to ba pafd by tonant farmers lu Ene lund, Tholr view is nat ere lees fonea UEtMOF PAYS HO es in it { todoao in bis jeaso of tho fand, of land, not upon ae obtuliod by no, Cerio and in C3 Ceurmeod Bagland: ‘Tho. tith the curse of? frou Jandowners t! iueb mony: otherwise Gave ta vome from tha bulk of tho _ ‘The lnndtords may aso rule’ pay the Chureh tlthes as the Matt etates, but the tenant formers provide the money, The tithe-money {y earned by the cultivators of the soll If tie tithes came out of “the bulk of the .people they would kick the whole thing éver, Half the English people aro Dinsenuacs, who would not stand the {uspoultionfof tithes fur, the support of tho clergy of,qsect whom they did not believe {u, and the commen veople, Who are ¥placo- pallans, would not submit to the Intposition of tithes.
