The language he employs has lost none of its vintage of '65 flavor and the more recent days, when it was his pleasuro to enrich tho archives of the Historieal society with his speeches and essays. Wo quote a paragraph from Vol. 1 of the transactions of the society, which has a distinctive Mortonian bead: **Aboli- tion haspaid Beeeher, paid Greeloy, paid Phillips, paid Gar paid those trans- cendental and loose-jointed iutellects that shed a sickly light through solemn, volling eyes upon the cadaverous bran- bread fuces and crazed heads that some- times surmount u white cravat and other garh of solemn inlenand impiously eadd themselves preachers of Christ and Him crueified Such mon and such things it bas paid.” Thoese words were uttored thirty years ago. The sccr tary’s particular style of oxpression seoms to be well grounded and is change- less as tho poles. WHAT the recent roport of the houso commiitee on public buildings and grounds shows with regard toNew Yovk City, namely, that foderal buildings have boon erceted without referenco to the needs of the service or any system- atie plan conducive to an efficiont hus' ness conduet, is probably true ‘to a greater or lesser extent in every lar, pity of the country. The federal of- ficers have been scattered in different buildings, some of them nothing but fire traps, for which oxorbitant rental is paid, and many of them positively dan- gerous to the lives and health of the government's employes. The sums ex “.pended for rent would pay interest upon an investmont largo enough to build structures that would not only be a oredit to the government, but also facil tate the transaction of publie business. If a new plan be adopted for the ercetion of public buildings in New York it will offera good example which congress eannot fail to follow in the remaining large cities whoere the bulk of the federal b 1siness is performed. CONSULTING THEIR CONSTITUENTS, he very best use tha congross can make of the holiday | will be in ascertaining the views of their | constituents on the proposed change in | the tariff policy of the country.

Thero are said to be several more from the same state, and probably the other man- facturing states will furnish some.

That straint, however little, upon the rail- roads is conceded. But it 18 claimed that it bas secured no benefits to the people other than the railroads would themsolves have given in its absence. | But those who advocate the repeal of the interstata commerce law overlook the absence of any federal common law and forget that such repeal would leave the shippors without remedy for abuses of interstate traflic. In the cases of Swift & Co. the Philadephia & Reading and against four other railroads ing the same issue, pending in the United States circuit court for the northern district of Illinois, Judge recently passed upon this it imposes some re- against wiliroad, invol Grasseap point. **There can be no question,” he said, “that in the ahsence of somo pr | hibition or restraint a common carrier ean dawfully demand or contract for | sueh componsution for earringe us he may he able to obtain, Hisprivileges in such would ba like those of any other porson and subjoct only to the economie laws which tlow from rade | and competition, If there isany munici- | pal law which supersedes or supple- ments theso economio laws and subjects the carrier restraint or regulations S0 10 not imposed on general business it must be found either in the municipal law of the states or in a law of the United ' States" { Judge Grosseup goos on to state that | within the terrvitory of the stat nd | upon subjects affected by state law prohibition exists: that ivis a rvestraint ombodied in the e¢ommon law of Bog- | land, and is therefore enforcad within ¢ jurisdiction where the common | law is the law of the land.

But for this law, as stated by Judge Grosseup, the common carriers engaged in interstate commeres would be un- restricted in their attempted exactions of compensation for transportation. The only rule governing charges upon tie I enact- implic interfore affairs is not so sorvice rgos ns- » asonable charge for such traffic would be *‘what ever the traflic would bear,” however unreasonable the charge might be. This malter is com- mended to the consideration of all who, to impaticnt from apparent failuro ac complish complete reform, immediately, demand the abandoment of any attempt tocontrol or regulate interstate com- merce. A DISCORDANT COMMITTE The democratic members of the house committec on banking and currency find asmuch diffienlty in agreeing upon a currency measure as do the democrats of the ways and means committee in settling upon a policy for getting more evenue from internal taxation. Various plans have been submitted for their con- sideration, but nothing has been evolved from thom upon which they could unite. The most serious trouble they are hav- ing is with the proposition to repeal the tax on state bank issues. This, it seems, has the right of way and no other busi- ness can be considered until it is dis- posed of. A majority of the demo- erats on the banking and currency com- mitteo are in favor of repealing the tas some conditionally and some uncond tionally. Two or three ave opposed to vepeal,as are all the republican mem- bers, and these together could dispose of the proposition, but one of the demo- crats opposed to repeal wants the ques- tion togo before the house so that it can be disposed of there. Tt is this diver- sity of views that blocks the way to the consideration of any other plansrelating to the currency, and what will finally be done—for an agreement on some- thing must be reached sooner or lator— nobody can tell and it is not worth while to gue: In view of the fact that neither the the president in his annual message nor thescevetary of the treasury in his report made any reference to this question of the repeal of the tax in state bank is- it would scem that the vocates of repeal would abandon their eftorts and allow “the question to drop out of usideration. It is obvious that no sat- isfactory plan can be devised for the tional repeal of the tax, vital ob- jections having been found to all the plans thus f. . DBesides, the advocates of repeal, with very few ex- ceptions, do not want any conditions im- posed. They contend that congress had no right to levy the tax, and that its continuance is an inj and a wrong to the states. They insist that the states have a constitutional right to aathorize the issue of bank currency and that the federal government has no authority to interfore. This is the sen- timent that prompted the plank in the democratic national platform mending the vepeal of the tax. On the other id, it would be impossible to pass & measure for the unconditional r peal of the tax, becanse there would be arrayed against it the unanimous vote of the republicans and a sulficient num- ber of democrats to defeat it. It is fairly to he inferred that the administration is opposed to repeal, s0 that even if it were demonstrated that majority in congress favored it theve would be no prospect of its success. There is consequently nothing to justify theadvoeates of repeal in keeping up the gitation, The president and sceretary of the treasury both suggested that no urgent demand oxlists for new curvency legisla- tion, and it is perhaps of no grat import- ance whether the banking and currancy committoe agrees upon anything or not. It is not to be expected that that com- mittee or the present congress will give the country wise and useful enrrency legislation, The danger is that if any- thing is done 1t will mak%e conditions rather than better. Undoubtedly tho financial interests of the conntry would be better satisfied if this congress were to give no attention whatever to the eurrency question in any form., <ues, s sugrgoste ico recom- WOrse YTWITHSTANDING the evident fact that the president is unfriendly to the proposal of an inaividual income tax, a fow of the democratic members of the ways and meavs comwmittee porsist in advocating the tax. If there were no doubt that cougress would agree to this policy for raising vevenue, and so fav as vo have observed nobady has seriously mtended that a measurve for this pur- so could pass congress, it 15 prac- tically cortain thal it could net obiain the approval of the president. Opposi- tion to this tax is not a purty matter, It is founded upon vital objections which recognized equally by demo- crats and republicans. The southern vepresentatives advocats 1t bocause nearly the whole of the tax would oe de- rived from the wealtn and enterprise and thrift of the north, and their rth- orn allies, to be counted on the fingers of one hand, ave promptad by the dema- gogie desire to make political capital for themselves with the elasses who would by moted from the tax, These same persons, or most of them, look with aisfavor upon the proposal to increase the tax on whiskey 10 centsa gallon. They have obstructed ana delayed an s TUESDAY, ! agreement ae to internal revenua taxa- tion, but it is entirely safe to say that they will not waeswed in having an in- dividual incomh tax adopted. Intel- ligent public sentiment is opposed to it, and that sentimént ‘will prevail THE settlement of the controversy be- tween Mr. Damrosch and his orchestra, | by which the imported celloist is to play only in solos, is &aid to have satisfied all concerned, but it leaves the principle for which the tontest was waged as much in disputd a8 ever.

At this pace, President Cleveland would soon serve the public to the extent of $£1,000,000.

Springficld (Mass ) Republican, The proposed legacy and special income taxes raise large questions.
