An Eloquent Speech.
The speeoh-of Mr. George William Cnrtii
on the “Pioneers of Frogress,” which wc
publish in this Isaac, is worthy of otrefal
reading. It is full of information. It
glows with beautiful fancloe. It ia fail of
eioqnenoe.
Air. Oar.it is ouo of tho best speakers in
America. lie is also one of the beat writers
His oratory combines rare qualities, which
never fail to attraet and to famish fold for
wholcanme reflection. An admirable epi
gram is that in which he says that the An-
glo-Sixcn race has reached in triumph from
the Atlantic (to the Paciflo with
a bath tub and a free
o institution. Oleanlineis, we know, ts
“ntxt to Godliness." It Is also of close kin
to oonrsge and all high virtues. The bath
tab hu a prominent place in all civilixi-
tionr, and Mr, Cnitis hat shown no disres
pect to the grand charter of onr libertica by
placing it in each company. Bat there ere
many other fine thoughts In bis speech. It
it good enough to road dear through and
then to read over again a time or two.
channels ot trade and industry, beyond
what was needed by the government. The
offeot of this withdrawal has been teen with
in three months, when a disastrous panic in
the obief finanei d center of the oonntry was
narrowly averted, by the exercise on the
part of .the Secretary of the Treasury of
every power conferred upon him by Con
gress to moet emergencies in the money
market. Soma of the mesne he adopted
wonid have been open to criticism had the
situation been less crilioal. That enoh s
stale of affairs should have been
brought. about by a vlcions
system of taxation, to remedy
hleti there baa been fttnp'e opportunity,
is little less than a disgrace to Amerioan
statesmanship. The point has now been
reaohed when a failure to act on the part
of Congress will sntsil disaster on the
oonntry and on the politlori party whioh
shall be responsible for it.
For the Democrats this is at once the
strength snd the weakness of the situation.
Toe money must be gotten rid of. The
necessity tor prompt action will fores Dem
ocrats who have been dieposed to be recal
citrant on the tariff ques'i m to take posi
tion with those who desiro to release to the
people, who now pay them in taxes, tho
unnecessary millions, or else join in the
support of tlie numerous bounty sohrmts
devised for the purpose of making tariff re
daction impos-iUa. It is difficult to
believe that Democrats will take the lsttor
course.
The danger of the situation lies in the
rout ihel, euub n umcilluu of Democrats
wedded to local protected interests being
possible, the Republic mo may be abio to
inaugurate a eyelets of prodigal expendi
tures which will mike the payment of war
taxes perpetual. The system of pensions
proposed, or rather demanded, by tho or
ganized veterans of the Federal armies, and
whioh will no doubt be adopted by the Re
publican*, would effectually drain atray tho
surplus.
Should the payment of pensions on the
scale proposed bo ioaugurated, then the
economic position cf the South would be
much weakened. Of the tariff taxes
which reach the treasury she psys
her full share; Ihe much larger indirect con
tributions to protected ladariries go North
sod do not return. Of the $80,(03,000 now
annually paid in pensions nearly all goes
North, and if that amount is doubled it is
here that the additional harden will be felt.
It oan be readily seen that it is the South
which is mast deeply interested in this qaes-
tion. Tie taxes collected from the whole
country are disbursed in only a portion ot it.
The prosperity of the South ia future is
ii the hands of Northern Democrats, who
in the oomiogstraggle must ohocse between
temporary local advantage and patriotie
regard for the welfare of the oonntry as a
whole.
vory rarely occur in the future. The Gen
eral ia in line with the most progressive
thought of the day on this snbjeot.
Recently a delegation of prominent Eng
lishmen, beaded by Sir Lionel Playfair,
came to the United States aid expressed to
President Cleveland their earnest desire—
and that cf a large oonatituency which they
represent, for the formnUtion of a treaty be
tween Eoglsnd and the United States whioh
would provide for the settlement oi ail dis
putes between the two nations by arbitra
tion. The English delegation was well re
ceived by the President In New York and
Boston they explained the object of their
mission at publio meetings. The Impres
sion they made in this oonntry wss de
cidedly favorable to the theory of interna
tional arbitration.
In the Telkobaph this morning we pub
lish a special London letter from Mr. Theo
dore Stanton on this subject Mr. Stanton
gives the expression of some of the moet
famous men io England. They are men
who represent not only the religions ele
ment, but also almost every shade of polit
ical opinion in Great Britain. Their unan
imity on this queslion is remarkable. It is
rather queer to see the conservstive Duke
ot Argyll and the radical Bradlaugh stand
ing together. Matthew Arnold, tho cold
eritio and the stolid Tory, agrees with Ed
win Arnold, the dreamy poet
and the progressiva L beral. Canon
Farrar, the most distinguished light of tbo
Church of England, and the Rev. Charles
Spurgeon, the greatest cf BvptUt preachers,
do not disagree on this dcclriss. Other
Englishmen who differ about almost every
thing else are as ono as to the wisdom and
justice of arbitration. It was
ba expected, of coarse,
that Jobn Bright wonid heartily indo-ae any
movement Intended to inonioate ideas cf
peso, nis Quaker reiigion and his politi
cal theories have held him throughout bis
long iite to a com.latent course ia this direc
tion.
All ot the let'ers from the distinguished
Englishmen who gave their opinions to
Mr. Stanton are interesting. Some of them
are especially bo, bee mbs they indicate the
growth in England of a friendly feeling to
ward this country.
Tel-acoplo Motftilt/o
Anthony Comstock, the New York epos-
tie of publio purity, as he considers him-
■elf, wsa weak and wicked enough to knock
down, kiok and otherwise maltreat a ten-
year-old newsboy the other day. And he
did not spue the nse of violent and pro
fane language while his auger was at its
height. Mr. Comstock has devoted bia
tl me and energiei for years to the deetrno-
tlon of improper books and pictures wher
ever be could find them. In the eager pros-
coutlon of this work he has perhaps lost eight
of all other evils than those ot which hs
thinks Immoral books and plotnria the
most powerful agencies. This blindness to
sverylhing else while peering as through s
telescope at one particular black spot on
the ana of our olvillz ition is not peenlisr
to Mr. Comstook. A great many people
similarly sfUloted Uvo in Georgia. Lit u«
hope they may not stumble into s ditch,
from whioh they oan only emerge with
barked shins snd dirty raimsnt, evsn if
they escape permanent inj ary.
The New Aula an. Secretary or State.
It will be seen in our dispatohes that Mr.
George L R voe, ot New York, has been
appointed Assistant Secretary of State, The
office was left vacant several months ago
by the resignation of ex-Governor Porter,
ot Tennessee. Secretary Bayard snd Gov
ernor Porter had serious diffetenees of opin
ion ss to publio polioy, snd their personal
relations also became very unpleasant.
It was carnally reported some weeks ego
that Congressman Perry Belmont, of
New York, wonid succeed Governor Portir.
Tne intimate relation* between Mr. Bayard
sad the Belmont's, father snd son, sag-
grated the p'cbablUly that the young men
wai the personal choice of the Beeratary.
Toe appointment, however, is mad# by the
President, and President Cleveland bos ■
mind of his own.
Mr. Bivee comes of ■ famous old Virginia
f unity. He has bad floe opportunities in
life. Though be has been rather promi
nent ia New York politics, hs
is not very generally known
in the United States. Bat this fact does
n it indicate that he is not entirely worthy of
tbs responsible r fflee to which he has been
appointed, cr that he is not folly capable
of filling it I; Is to be hoped that Ihe new
■aaiatont end the Secretary may co-operate
end ally.
Mu. Atkisooe ihu-ka the best settlement
o! tha A teriee dispute would be reached
bytheUolted b ates laying three of the
Canadian provinces tor $00,000,000. They
ate about ss big as an average European
kingdom sod Uncle Sam could pay for
them with only ■ small part of the loeae
ehange be carries In his pocket, bathe is
not very fond of codfish. He would rather
give it to beggars at home.
Tax It eduction.
Air. Carlisle is ia Washington, and has
been talkiDg to s correspondent of the Phil
adelphia Times on the question of tax re
duction. He it the leader ot the Damo-
oratio party in Congres*, wbieh faot would
give great importance to his views, even it
he did not also represent a groat mrjnrity
of bis party on tbotarlff question.
Mr. Carlisle thinks the reduction
la the government's revsnne should not
exosed $70,0u0,000, end he is willing to
rssob that result by u compromise with
those who wish the internal tax'* abolished
In such a compromise be thinks the tax on
manufactured tobaco to the amount ot
$20,0(10,1X10 should be abandoned, retain,
ing that on oigan and cigarettes.
Tne balance ot tho reluetion, $30,000,000,
muit oome from an enlargement of
the free list and a reduction of the duttes
on such articles aa enter into geoeral con-
sumption. Mr. Carlisle will oppose any re
duction of tlis duties on sugar or the tax on
whisky. If tho compromise outlined It not
accepted by tho proteotionists he is in favor
ot opposition to any rsduotien of the tax
on tobacco or whiaky, snd s straight out
fight for s reduction of tariff taxation to
the extent of the surplus.
Tbo President and Secretary of thoTrose-
nry are in complete harmony with Mr. Car
lisle In these views, and it will he the gen
eral opinion of Demoonts that the concee
■ions proposed are the greatest possible. It
were better that all of the taxes poesiblo
should be lifted from the necessities, rather
than the luxuries, ot life, but it party
sseendenoy depends npon the concession cf
o.rtatn points to a minority of Damn* rata,
it is the put of wisdom to yioli them, if it
can be dons without sacrifice of principle.
The email minority of Democrats who are
opposed to tariff reduetion, it each a com
promise is offered them, will be
foroel to accept it or else take
with the Republicans on the
moet important issue between the partita.
If they eh >nld adept the latter court*, they
would find it difflenit thereafter to pots as
Democrats. The result would probably ba
■ repetition of the history of the lost two
or three Congresses in dealing with this
queslion, and the oonntry would soon ex
perience a business depreetion which the
■mall expedient* of the treasury for keep
ing money in circulation could do little to
peltiet*.
The situation is ■ serious one, but we
believe safety lies in a firm attitude on the
part of the tariff mfotmem

Them is no doubt that President Cleve

great majority of tbe Democratic parly as
to tbe proper method of teduoing taxation.
That is they favor a reduction ot customs

ternal revenue. Tbe position ot tha admin
istration in this quration will probably bo
clearly expressed in tbe Preeiient's message
and tbe Seorctary's report to tho Fiftieth
