Editorial Opinion of the Leading Journal upon Current Topios Compiled Every Day for the Evening Telegraph. A SAlirLE OF PRIESTLY INTOLE- 11ANCE. From the IT. Y. TimtH. Thero is a clergyman in this city who, when lately asked to read the burial service over a dead man, declined on account of the pro fession which the deceased had followed in his lifetime. Most people may have sup posed that this kind of intolerance perhaps the most revolting and indecent that the human mind can conceive was a thing of the. past. But human bigotry and stupidity never become obsolete; they are only held in check by public opinion. There are Jesuits who would gladly revive all the horrors of the Inquisition, and would have a better relish for their dinners if they could send a few unbelievers to the stake for the good of their souls. We do not hear of so many cases of priestly intolerance as formerly, not because the appetite for intolerance has died out, but because people are a little more afraid of public exposure than they used to be. But, as we have said, New York can boast of one clergyman who does not fear to provoke the indignation and contempt of his fellow-men. A certain friend of a dead man went to him the other day and asked him to perform the last offices of the Church over the body. The minister declined because of the calling the deceased had pur sued. The name of this minister is Ilev. William T. Sabine, and the dead man over whom he refused to read the funeral service was the late George Holland, the actor. The de ceased had borne through life an excellent charaoter he had, among other things, earned his living honestly, had brought np his chil dren honorably, had tried as well as he could to do credit to the calling which he followed. None of us can do much more than that, no matter what we may call ourselves and not all of us do so much. But Mr. Holland had committed an unpardonable sin, in the eyes of Iiev. William T. Sabine he had earned his living by trying to please the public on the stage. For this offense, in the eyes of a Christian minister, he was fit only to be buried like a dog, and his surviving relatives were to be denied those last consolations of religion which we are acoustomed to think even murderers, standing at ,the foot of the gallows, have a right to ask. We may think what we please of any man's pro fession during his life but to follow him with resentment after death on acoount of it, to pronounce a decree that he is fit only for the bottomless pit, and that no word of a Redeemer's love or of the resurrection should be pronounced over his grave there is some thing so horrible in all this that we can scarcely believe it has really ocourred in our own day and our own city. It is like the in solent profanity of a priest of the Middle Ages. Who is it that has a right to pronounce a judgment on his brother's soul? Rev. Mr. Sabine comes forward in answer to that ques tion and tells ns that he is the man. He can judge by a man's occupation whether he is entitled to Christian burial or not. He stands wrapped in a cloak of bigotry, which he mistakes for the mantle of infallibility, and presumes to anticipate the unerring judgment to be pronounced at that bar before whioh he, as well as the "wioked actor," must one day be arraigned. Mr Sabine is an anaohronism. He should have lived in the days when no harm was thought of using the raok and the thumb screw as stimulants to men's religious faith. As it is his lot to live in the nineteenth cen tury, he ought either to accommodate him self to its tone of thought, or at Ieat retire from a church upon whioh he brings dis credit. The son of the late Mr. Holland might well have addressed him in the words of Laertes, slightly modified written by a man who was an actor, and lies buried within a Christian ehnrch, a faot which Mr. Sabine has doubtless often reflected upon with a ahudder: "I tell tbee, churlUh priest, A mlnlst'rlng angel shall my 'ather' be, When tliou liest howling." DECAY OF THE ENGLISH GOVERN MENT. From the K Y. Tribune. The Mikado of Japan, the other day, in a State ceremonial in whioh it was designed that his sovereignty, dating from the era of the gods, should be fully set forth to the wor shipping populace, sent in tne iront or tne procession the ancient royal chariot, closely veiled and covered, before whioh the people knelt, and made the day hideous with devo tion, while the Mikado comfortably jogged along and dozed unseen in a plain carriage in the rear of the procession. John Bull hit long ago upon the same clever expedient to rid the real governing power of the country of both troublesome salaams and fault-find ing. He keeps np an ancient system of roy ally and nobility which creaks and lumbers along in front of the nation, bediatnonded and bespangled, big and bright enough to draw ail tne worship and abuse, while the real power lies behind in a half-dozen plain men wno represent tne commonalty, or late. however, hints begin to multiply on every side that the people are tired of salaaming and koo-tooing before this ancient chariot. in which, as everybody knows, the king is not to be foand. John Bull begins to ques tion whether this gigantic sham is worth its price, when that price exhausts the best labor and life or tne people. The member in this governing system wmcu attracted most attention to its weak ness during the last year has been the House of Lords. The Peers, being men of educa tion and a good deal of mental force, forget sometimes that they are only part of a State ceremonial, and attempt to assume a little real authority, when it is ludicrous to observe how promptly the check-strings are pulled, and they are reduced to their ignoble wood' enness again. Most noticeably was this the case in the two instances when they brought inemselves in common witn tne popular feel ing, on the questions of the Irish Church and Land bill. No American college boy, in hi debating ciub, could inveigh mure bit terly against '-the decaying aris. iocracy or England than the leading English journals themselves. The House of Lords was reminded, with unmis takable significance, that coronets, quarter- ings, ana oan-ieaves were baubles pretty and rich enough wherewith to aiuue themselves and the vulgar, but did by no LUb.a8 iaolade the reins of government. The encroachment was one of such peculiar irritation as to betray even the wary Times into Break ing the impolitio whole truth. The next mobt influential journal in "the fourth estate" protested against the very existenoe of "a bouse in which the true government was powerless, because in it the nation was entirely unrepresented. The machine cannot go on forever," continues thU journal, "with the draft-horse pulling one way and the thoroughbred auot'aer. The waste of power in the working beast is be coming too great for enduranoe." So dan gerous did the outcry beoome against this up-en Second Chamber, which threatened In load the working beast to death, that even Tht Saturday HertetP, which is the exponent of the aristocracy, yet shrewd enough to Bee the temper of the times, endeavored to recon cile the people with the ills they have: "The Ilonae of Lords Is toe pndctct of centuries Of political existence. No one conlil Invent It, or create It, or reproduce 4t. That It should have so much pwer ana yet so nine power, mat it snouia he so respectable and jet bo mod. rate, that It should not be a Hhaiu and jet should know so wall that It mint yield when th ne who have the real govern ment of the country lld It yield, li something very extraordinary and very accidental In the general 1 mtory or politics 1 hat the present state or things should be permanent Deems, we confess, very un likely." It suggested as an original plan to solve the difficulty that the House of Lords should be kept np for the honor of the country, but that the Lords should stay out of it. "One of the easiest, quietest, and most natural modes of the House of Lords dying out would be that no peer should think it worth while to attend. A peer is just as great, just as rich, and just as happy a man whether he goes to the House of Lords or not." That Government must be thoroughly deoayed at heart which is drawn to childish tricks and shams Buch as these to keep np the semblance of life. The questions on whioh Feers and Commons have been brought in contact lately were but of transient importance. The sig nificant point, to a cool spectator, was the vindictive eagerness with which any move ment toward independent power by the Feers was met by the demand from Commons, peo ple, and press that the House of Lords be put upon final trial, whether it shall Bland or not. The dangers of such emergencies have been passed over in the last year by the un conditional surrender of the Feers, as in the matter of the Church bill, or by the whole sale creation of enongh new peers to defeat the old ones who stood by their order a shirking manoeuvre which is paltry and ludi crous in the extreme. The plain faot is that the people of England have outgrown their Government. With its childish trappings and unmeaning symbols, it becomes their adult strength, intelligence, and sound com mon sense much as the swaddling clothes of the infant would the limbs of the full-grown man. They show now and then with a fierce impatience that they are conscious of this. The same people who bowed down to and worshipped as the first gentleman in Europe the padded liber tine, George IV, treat with a contemptuous indifference the dull, inefficient Queen and her duller, sensual sops. Even the projected marriage of the Frincess Louise with a sub ject, who is in reality a commoner, which, wnetner it was so meant or not, might have served as a sop to Cerberus, has only pro voked an indignant outbreak of the prevail ing feeling. The radical meeting in London the other day not only protested against the infliction of a heavy dowry for this useless member of the sham system of power upon an overtaxed and starving people, but urged the demolition of the whole false fabric and the establishment of a republio! In short, the middle-class Englishman, who bates sham as thoroughly as any man on earth, finds this divine white elephant left to him by slavish forefathers an insupportable weight, and is heartily tired ef bowing and posturing before it one minute and reducing it to order tne next by a few wnolesome thwaoks. Yet he clings to precedent as to his God; and the idea of a republio is obnoxious to him principally beoause it is American. But the impending changes in England are among the most important subjects which the world's history offers to-day; they are no less certain than thoBe in France. Revolu tions which grow out of the growth of na tional thought and development rest on a surer basis than those whioh depend on star ration and blood. WHAT WILL CONGRESS DO WITH MOR MON POLYGAMY? From the AT. F. Sun. Mormonism perennially afflicts the Con gress of the United States, and throws .dis credit upon the republio in the estimation of every civilized nation in the world. For the last twenty years scarcely a session has passed without a controversy over this obtrusive and disagreeable subject; and its constant recurrence exhibits the difficulty experienced in dealing witn it. The Republican party in 18."7 pledged to tne nation its best attention to two pre-emt nently interesting things "slavery and po lygamy, twin relics of barbarism." The first has been disposed of; the other still remains intact, and is every day gaining an extension of life. Indeed, all the efforts to reach it seem only to contribute to it a greater vitality and to give it opportunity of exhibiting still greater boldness. The time was when the Mormon apostles and elders were indignant at the charge of practising polygamy, and denied it publicly with tierce wrath, lhey subsequently pre varicated and dodged the aoousation; and then they Btealtbily passed from denial to tacit admission, and then to open approval of the system, ending by fulminating damni- tion against the rest ot mankind who reject it. Slavery is abplished; reconstruction is now settled and out of the way; and apparently Congress is again to be ocoupied with the re maining relic of barbarism, and this time we hope will be the last. One of the distin guihhed Senators from Massachusetts assumes the task of leadership in this controversy, Will be be more successful than his prede cessors.-' The great cause of failure hitherto has been the general ignorance of Congress respaoting the condition of the people of Utah. To-day there should be no blundering there need be none. The opening of that mountain country by the Facifio Railroad has afforded the members of Congress as much facility lor seeing L tan as tney ever had for visiting New Orleans. Many of them, from both the House and Senate, have availed themselves of the opportunity of studying the question there during the past season. Besides all this, the unity that has characterized the reign of Brigham Young is at an end, and now a bold, free press in Salt Lake, under his very eyes, is furnishing the necessary facts and arguments with which his colossal power can be reached and demolished Everything shown that the thinking, respeit able poition of the people, who constitute publio opinion there, are ripe and ready for any action of Congress that is consistent aad just. The last bill, that of Mr. Cullom, essayed i : i ... i ; , . - too muon; ana us retrospective vuaracter ex cited the alarm of the country, aud created for the Mormons the sympathy that rotaiaed tne bill in tne benate. mat experience bhould be BUggestive, and induce the conclu siou that this Mormon question should be looked, at soberly and with a full understand ing of the operation and results of le,'wU. tiou. If it be true, as u frequently assarted that very many of the Mormon people them- ' selves are urea or tneir experiment In Orien tal Debits, uongress should facilitate their re turn to the monogamy of Christianity. Brand- ng sincere ana somewnat Ignorant women with prostitution, and their offspring with Dastaroy, is neitner tne way to secure their attention to what Congress would do lor tnem, nor tne way to gain the listening ears of those whom they call their husbands. If the adoption of the institution of the pitri- a a . arcnB nas seemed to many Mormons a mis. take, a natter of regret, an oppression, such legislation as will afford persons of this class an Honorable discharge from its obligations will be hailed with gratitude: while the slightest semblance of persecution, or any thing that can be so construed, will be eagerly cintcbed by tne leaders, and made the rallying point by them for all the stubborn- ness and pride of their own natures, and of tnose in the same position an themselves.. I here are seemingly some persons in Utah end in Washington endeavoring to work out Rome such programme as we suggest. Can not Congress assist tbem, and use them to ward the solution of this difficulty? Poly gamy has clearly not the sacred character and obligation upon all the Mormons that has been claimed for it; or why is it that Mr. nooper, the delegate from the Territory to Congress, the defender of polygimy, is him self the husband of but one wife ? During last summer another gentleman from that Territory, assisting the delegate in Washing ton against the Cullom bill, was also a single married man. It is asserted by representa tives from Salt Lake that only a small pro portion of the men are polygamists, and many ot tnese are repentant. It seems a fitting time to grapple with the subjeot by the adoption of just, humane, and effective legislation. THE TREASURY TAKING TOO MUCH MONEY FROM THE PEOPLE. Fiom the S. Y. Ilerald. The Secretary of the Treasury seems to have but one idea, and that is to accumulate the largest amount of money possible in the coffers of the Government. He loves to gloat over the mass of wealth there as a miser does over his money bags. He ima gines, we suppose, that he can point to this as the result of his wisdom in administering the affairs of the Treasury Department, and say to tne people, see how carefully 1 have collected the revenue and piled np your wealth. But he underrates the sagacity of the people. They can see that this enormous and surplus revenue this vast unemployed capital of a hundred millions and upwards is wrung irom tneir card earnings, it is, in fact, an unnecessary and monstrous exaction from an overtaxed people. The hundred to a hundred and fifty millions whioh Mr. Boutwell keeps hoarded up all the time, and has kept hoarded from the time he took charge of the Treasury, is so much money taken away from productive industry. In the hands of the people it would earn a much larger sum and add greatly to the wealth of the nation. But that is not the only loss. Lying in the Treasury vaults it is dead capi tal. Put out at interest, or, what would have amounted to nearly the same thing, applied to the liquidation ef the debt, from six to nine millions a year would have been saved. The Secretary has lost for tho country from twelve to eighteen millions during the time he has been in office by this ridiculous policy of hoarding. This loss, as we said, is in addi tion to what the people have lost in having the money taken away from their industrial pursuits unnecessarily. Tne remark of the Saviour about the unprofitable servant who had kept bis master's talent wrapped up un employed is applicable to Mr. Boutwell. We said the Secretary seemed to have but this one idea. He has, however, another. which also operates injuriously and keeps np burdensome taxation. Inat is to make the people of the present time pay off the debt which can be paid better and easier in the future to make us who have borne the heavy burdens of the war and spilled our blood for the Union pay all the cost. This is both unreasonable and unjust. Those who are to come after ns will enjoy the bless ings we have purchased by our blood and treasure, and ought to contribute something to liquidate the remaining part of the oost, especially when we consider that they will feel the burden much less than we do. In ten years the population of this country will be probably nearly a Hair more than it is now, or near sixty millions, and the national wealth will be increased in a greater ratio. Why, then, should not the people of the next decade, or of the next twenty years, pay a portion of the debt? Mr. Boutwell delights to boast of reducing the debt at the rate of a hundred millions or more a year. He thinks that gives him great credit for financial ability with the people, and will make him a popular man for the Presidency or some other high honor. But the people are not so blind, iney Know tne money comes from tnem and tney are oppressed to raise it. Sup Eose a banker's clerk, who has handed to im a large Bum of money by his employer to go and pay a debt of the bank, should boast of what he accomplishes, as if the money be longed to him, should we not think his con duct ridiculous? Just as reasonable is it for Mr. Boutwell to claim the credit of paying the national debt, when the money pours in upon him from the burdensome taxes im posed by Congress. It is not a question of the ability of the country to raise an enormous revenue and to pay off the debt rapidly. That it can do un doubtedly. Though not as rich as England in accumulated capital, it has greater and more varied natural resources. There is, ia fact, a wonderful elasticity in the capabilities of tne country, we nave seen what an extra ordinary strain it could bear during the most gigantic and costly war of modern times. It may well be doubted if any country could have brought out in so snort a time such stu pendons resources. Then, since the close of the war what vast sums have been raised and what an enormous amount of debt, floating and organized, has been discharged ! But, as was said, it is not a question of ability to bear taxation it is one or eoonomy, of jus tice, of finanoial wisdom. A merchant who should spend all his cash as it comes in should anticipate his unma tured obligations and leave himself without sufficient ready means to carry on bis bust ness or to extend it, would be regarded a stupid man. More business is done and more wealth made by a judicious use of credit than by actual cash. It is the same with nations as with individuals. To draw away the capi tal of the people unnecessarily by taxation cripples the industry of a country, retards the creation of wealth, and tends to keep a nation poor. The money taken from the people would be worth much more to them in their industrial pursuits than it is to the Govern ment, and would add far more to the national wealth. In one case it is creative and ia the other exhaustive. What, then, is the true policy for ua to pursue ? Simply to raise no more revenue than the current economical wants of the Government require, with a small margin for a tanking fund to keep up the pro cessof liquidating the debt. Tbe people would not be satisfied if some of the debt were not paid annually, but a sinking fund of twenty to twenty-five millions would be ample at prefer t. Thus the debt would waste away nRrbsibly, and the people would not feel it. Tbe credit of the Government would stand just as high or higher. Onr ability to pay would be shown, while the wealth of tho na tion would be more augmented. Taxoi to tbe amount of a hundred milli ns a year or more might be taken off. Tbere would then be revenue enough to pay all the current expeLses of government and twenty-five mil lions of the debt a year. Let this reduoMon be made and the money now in the Treasury be applied to paying the debt. Th burdens of the people will be lightened, industry will greatly revive, and before six months Mr. Boutwell will have again a surplus in the Treasury. Tbe whole policy of the Secretary should be reversed. If he has not the ability or financial skill to take the initiative in the policy we indicate, CoDgres ought to force it upon him. A large revenue leads to extrava gance and corruption. The vital question now is to reduce taxation and to bring the revenue down to the wants of an economical administration of the Government.
