eight hundred and fifteen thousand shining Collars The tail of the British Lion is still turned to ward Khartoum The English army of occu pation has been reduced to 5000 The succes sor of the Mahdi will be holding court in Cairo some tine day The Tribune had a good deal to say not long since about the ability and sound judgment of the Nashville Union one of the protectionist papers at the South whose tariff articles the Tribune quoted IVe are a little surprised to find that the Tribune does not quote the opin ion of this able and sound paper on Attorney General Garland T1 British Government is making strenu ous efforts to suppress the of instituted by the Irish Nationalist leaders If the government displayed half ile energy in endeavorlug to remedy the condition of things which made the of possible it would accomplish a great deal of good Its coercive methods can neither allay discontent nor frustrate the efforts of the tenants to se cure the reduction of rents to a fair basis The Green murder trial at New Lebanon Ohio to which we referred yesterday in con nection with the refusal of Doctor Darby to testify as an expert unless was guaranteed a fee of 825 lias again been resumed The physicians aside" from Doctor Darby who participated in the post mortem testified but Doctor Darby preferred to stay in jail rather than testify He will probably ba discharged from custody when tho case is concluded One of the headlines which tlio New York World has over its tide containing the ac count of the conclusion of the trial of McQuade is: "Now lor the rest of the bribed and now for the more guilty The District Attorney and his assistants would do a great piece of work for the com munity in New York if they prosecuted and convicted tho more guilty bribers Ami the influence of such prosecution and conviction would bo felt beyond the limits of New York City The of oster Canadian Minis ter of bberies in re? peel to the dispute be tween the United States and Great Britain (u Canada) moves the New York Commer cial Advertiser to observe: Ono does not expect very high diplomatic attainments in a Minister of isheries but Mr oster is a particularly garrulous and frank officer It will not all surprising if he receives a hint from Ids superiors that it will be good plan him to keep his mouth closed hereafter when approached by inter viewers The ree Press seems mightily tickled be cause a Democratic ollicial whose mutilated records were photographed and exhibited to the public view Las escaped indictment by the grand jury Tribune That is not strictly accurate What was the dis comfiture over the miscarriage of a sensation from which it hoped such wonderful things AVY were however pleased also as all lovers of justice and fair play must have been that neither a nor anybody else save the inventor was injured by the ex plosion of tho partisan sensation The proposal of the Executive Board of the State Assembly Knights of Labor to place two men at Lansing who will keep a watch on legislative proceedings and mark down the attitude of members on questions interesting to the order is not a very sensible one At the end of tho session a good man in two days going over the Seriate and House journals can ascertain tho of all members on every question of human interest The proposal smacks a little too much of scheme of giving two men a soft snap of doing nothing for six months is just this kind of making places for certain leaders that in some respects has brought the Lai or movement into disrepute There are twenty two Knights of Labor elected as Republicans who are members of the Connecticut legislature These said to be opposed to tho re election of Senator liawloy Ex Governor Bigclow who will not enter field as a candidate against General Hawley is talked of as a man upon whom the Knights of Labor and Democrats may unite Bigelow however is as stanch a Republican as General Hawley is and it is difficult to sec wlat present gain there is for Democrats in going to Lis support General Hawley was defeated in 1S7'1 for thu Senate by a combina tiuu of Democrats and anii Huwley Republi can who re elected Senator erry and it would be singular if ha had a like experience year Republican opposition to Hawley is attributed to his lukewarmness to ward Blaine The bringing up of the Morrison bill which is promised for to day may not have any dif DETROIT TREE PI1ES: SATURDAY DECEMBER IS 1386 ferent Jesuit from that which followed its first appearance Thero is some possibility hovever of a stronger disposition to consider the measure than there was when the original motion to consider was lost It ought cer tainly to have gained friends among the mem bers who favor reducing taxation and are op posed to the accomplishment of that purpose by removing the tax on tobacco or whisky or the duty on sugar As the matter now stands the friends of reduction must chooe between the two methods and we not without hope that the intelligent method outlined in the Morrison bill will prevail Mr Randall's following certainljr does not show itelf as confident as at the last session The chasten ing effect upon them of the election is quite perceptible GETTING THE SILVER DOLLAR INTO CIRCULATION A considerable majority of the members of both House and Senate are opposed to the sus pension of silver coinage and the law now on the statute books requiring purchase of f2 000000 of silver per month for coinage into standard silver dollars will remain there until there is a radical change in Congressional sentiment on the silver question The silver men desire to see the silver dollar enter into circulation as fast as it is coined but short of free coinage which Congress is not disposed to authorize there is only one way by which this can be brought about Tins is by reduc ing taxes so as to cut down the revenues of tho government The claim has been made that the coinage of silver ought to be suspended be 'causa the government cannot get the coin into circulation after it comes from the mint The reason of this however is not that people generally have any objection to silver or any other dollars which have equal purchasing power with the rest but solely be cause the government had no need to expend them and in its large transactions other forms of currency were more convenient With a surplus taxa tion annually of $100000000 to $125000000 there would necessarily be if there were no bonds subject to call a constant accumulation of not only silver but gold and every ether form of currency in the Treasury Tho way to prevent the way to make silver circu late either in tho form of coin or in the repre sentative certificate is to cut down the revenues so that tho government will need all its resources to meet its current expenditure and provide for the inking fund In this case silver would be paid out by tho government and when it got into the hands of the people they would take care of its circulation The a proprial ions made by Congress for the ensuing fiscal year including the perma nent annual appropriations for interest on the public debt sinking fund etc will probably not exceed 8300000000 If the revenues were out down to this figure the Treasury would have to use the silver coined from the bullion purchased monthly to meet the current ex penses About $60000000 in gold silver and green backs for which tLe government has no need wouLt remain in the hands of the people and instead of being locked up in the Treasury vaults which is the only tiling that can be done with it under present laws for the greater part of the next fiscal year would be in circu lation and the volume of our currency would be still farther swollen by the silver coinage The silver men ought to solidly for a reduction of taxation both to relieve the peo ple of a heavy unnecessary burden and to give their favorite coin a fair chance THE ADMISSION STATES Our esteemed sunset contemporary the Journal says that in opriosing the admission of Territories until they have reached a pro population to the States "The ree Press assails the principle of State sov and adds: accordance with the constitutional principle of State sovereignty every Territo ry is entitled to admission as soon as iff con tains as many inhabitants as the least popu lous State The ree Pless objects to the discrepancy of tho Presidential electoral vote between largo and small Btales This how ever is the fault of the Btute sovereignty principle It may be avoided by electing the President by tho popular vote It docs not justify a partial and unjust treatment of any State'or Territory entitled to the benefit of the State sovereignty i The thirteen original States united in the formation of the republic or preserva tion of an equilibrium the provision of an equal representation in the Senate was made States subsequently admitted were entitled to equal representation in the Senate but there is no constitutional principle requiring a Territory to be admitted as a State as soon as it has ob tained any given population This rests in the discretion of Congress upon which de volves the duty of providing for Territorial organization and which defines their lines of demarcation and extent as well as those of new States when admitted Inequalities of population that might not be considered when a union of States was being formed can legit imately be considered when it is proposed to admit Territories as States Vermont came into the Union in 1791 It bad 85 425 popula tion as much as some of those Territories that now ask admission But at that time Ver mont contained one forty seventh of the population of the Union But it grew rapidly and in ten years bad one thirty fourth of tho whole population A number of States followed the Green Moun tain the proportionate population not being grossly out of place but as the older States grew greater in population the evils of ad mitting localities juA because tlioy were crying for admission became more and more apparent until the crowning act of the ad mission of Neva ia which four years before admission had but one foqr thousand five hun dred and eigbty lifth part of the population of the country and six years subsequent to ad mission barely one thousandth yet exerted in the Senate the control of one tuirty sixth Lt is clearly the right and duty of Con gress of the United States to preserve as near ns may be equality of representation and to decline to admit a Territory which has not attained a population bearing a fair relation to that of the average State years hence is greater than that needed to pay the interest on the debt itself The happy condition and situation of the United States which enable it to recognize the debt it owes to the gallant men whose patriot ism and valor saved it from destruction are in marked contrast to those of great European States' Such of them as are nut burdened with a debt charge to which that cf the United States is in its relative weight mere bagatelle are oppressed withtne incubus cf a tremendous military establishment which not only takes hundreds of thousands of pien from the fields of productive industry but necessarily tells heavily upon the resources of thoe in civil life wbo must sustain it With a population now nearly 25000000 Ip excess of that of Great Britain the expendi tures of the United States are annually $150 000000 less payments on account of the sink ing fund being omitted Our army co ts more per capita than that of Great Britain but cur establishment is so much smaller that the British expenditures are three fold our3 We have not much of a navy to show for our an nual expenditures but the difference between the cost of maintaining ours and that of Great Britain for a single year would go a long way toward building up a new and great navy did the occasion demand the United States to de vote all its energies in that direction The fact that the United States does not need a large army and a great navy the fact that it is free from absorbiug national inter est in the maintenance of power among European countries and that no Eastern question constantly menaces it has enabled it to do measurable justice to the men who constituted its great volunteer army and navy when it bad need of them With other great nations cf the globe even present pressing needs make the maintenance of government so costly that the claims of tho soldiers cf former wars can receive only beggarly recognition It is justly a matter of pride and glory for the United States that among its expendi tures those for pensions lead all the rest Such a condition is only possible in a country which is not only mindful of its obligations but in which there is not a ceaseless drain upon its resources and its vitality by tho maintenance of immense establishments of war )f Europe were disarmed as the United States is the impetus to industry the gain in productiveness which would result from the release of millions of armed men now held in leash would enable the States of that country to present far different budgets to do much more for justice and humanity Hlaine si: In his speech at Pittsburgh October 20 Mr Blaine said: "in Birmingham Alabama in Chattanooga Tennessee and in various parts of Virginia they are making pig iron and this they are making at wages of from sixty to seventy cents per At Lewisburg October 27 he referred to the colored labor question as follows: With tho power of the nationdl government in the hands of the Democratic party there is no possible hope tor the rise or progress of colored laboiers in the Houth They keep them living in huts on starvation wages anil they are hurrying them by the millions into competition with Northern men Congressman Ke ley he fathered the House mid tho protectionist tool of Pennsylvania has just returned from visit to Alabama Ten nessee and other parts of
