The llepub'ican tariff bill says the
Xi'ifii'd lrvir,rut has been changed
again. The, last dsperae move of the
panic-stricken It"publicar.s is to restore
hidt-sto tie free Hat, repeal all the
duties oa sugar and give the suyar pro
ducers a bounty of two cents a ponnd.
A careful computation by th9 Demo

with th sugar duties thrown overboard

venue mora than four million dollars oa
the basis of present importations. The

Attacks upon party managers and
conspicuous political officers do not al
ways need to be answered ; bat when
charges of personal dishonesty and dis
honor are preferred on responsible aun
thority against a Governor, a Senator,
or any other public official, it is Impossi
ble that they should be ignored and left
unanswered, without leaving reason for
the cooclnsicn. that they are at least
founded in truth.
Here, for instance, are certain allega
tions respecting S?nator taay, of IVnn
fevivauU, wblcn were ponlished in the
New York Timet. We do not know
that they are true. ; we trust that the?
are raise ; bat bete they are. pat Toith
broadly by that journal, without dis
guise or equivocation :
"Kieven yers ago Quay took 5260.
000 from the I'ennsylvania State Treas
ury and lost it in stock gambling. He
had an associate m the transaction, one
J Blake Walters, at that time cashier
of the S:ate Treasury. Wallers subse
quently drnk himself to death. Amos
C. Xoyes, the 5tate Treasurer, died not
long afterward, and his death was said
to have been due largely to his fear
tbat the robbery might be discovered,
(j jay himself was for months the victim
ot guilty terror. A new State Treasur
er bad been elected and expoeure was
Iminent. A friend who visited him at
the Lochiel House in Harrisbarg found
bim drank and debating whether he
should cat his throat or iamp into the
Susquehanna river. This friend visited
Don Cameron, laid the ease before bim,
and that statesman, to avert a scandal
wnich would have done great damage
to the Republican partv in I'annsylvaa
ia. contributed over 5100,000 to make
op the deficit. The rest of the eum
necessary was supplied by Qaay and
Walter.
"In lSS5Qay secured a yindication
by being nominated and elee'ed to the
office of State Treasurer, fiat it was
not merely vindication Qaay was after.
He wanted another chance at the State
funds. He got it and availed himself
of it, and much more successfully tban
before. To pay for some bonds and
shares of the North Chicago ltailroad
Company be took 5400.000 from the
Stare Treasury and deposited it in the
Peop'e'a Dank in ltiilade'phla. William
II. Kemtle. who bad been pardoned a
a few years before by Quay's Tardon
ing Hoard after having been convicted
of bribery, was President of that bank.
The 5400.000 remained in the People'
Bank ; the Chicago securities were des
livered to Quay, who sold them at a
high figure, pocketed the proI:s, and
restored the embezzled funds to the
State Treasury."
Xow, the Timts is perfectly responsi
ble. It is able to pay if it ia found guil
ty of slander. If these charges are cal
umnious, tbat fact should be establish
ed before a public tribunal without de
lay. It will not answer for Mr. Quay
In receive such an attack with silence.
Even if it came from a contemptible
quarter, it could not wisely be treated
with contempt ; bat when it comes from
a journal like the Tunes, it should be
met promptly with the atern challenge
of the law. Otherwise the imputations
wi'l be taken as confessed and admit
ted. gross and damaging as they are.
3". Y Sun.
another Tariff Speculation.
It ia yet fresh in the memory of the
public bow the silk importers paid six
or seven millions of excessive tariffi da
ties on silk trimmings under protest,
sold the goods to consumers, collected
the high tariff taxes from their custom
ers, and then recovered the millions
back to go Into the pockets of the im
porters. The consumers had paid the
excessive tariff taxes once to the im
porters, but consumers have no relief,
while the importers recover tbe tax
back and pocket it.
Soon after tbe inauguration of the
present administration naw Custom Ap
praisers were appointed who understood
that they were expected to put a large
ly increased duty upon worsteds by con-
Hkruciion. in obedience to campaign con
tracts. Appraiser Leach, of Philadel
phia, promptly revised the tariff law, in
accordance with the new political ne
cessities and largely increased the tariff
duties upon worsteds. The importeis
paid and protested as they did in the
silk caae, but they, of coarse, sold their
worsted goods to consumers with the
increased tariff taxes added. The ques
tion was appealed to tbe United States
Courts, and the Circuit Court of New
York has just decided that the tariff
taxes on worsteds are as made by Con
gress and not as made by Appraiser
Lacb and his associates.
For one year the importers of
worsted goods have paid the increased
tariff taxes aod received the same from
consumers. Now the Court declares
the added tax to be unlawful, and tbe
worsted importers will recover the ex
cessive taxes back from the Govern
ment, pocket them as additional profits.
uue ine consumers who really paid
the unlawful taxes are without remedy.
And all this comes from campaign
promises for campifgn contributions
and the appointment of Custom Ap-
priisers to execute campaign orders
So we go. I'illo. Times.
Isabella was a Fraud.
There seems to be bat little doabt
that IsabMla did not sell her jewels in
order to raise money with which to as
slst Columbus. The list ot exploded be
liefs Is growing rapidly. William Tell
did not shoot the apple from bia son's
head. Joan of Are was not burned at
the stake. Pocahontas did not a t
prince oU!;--Jt fellow:;c
tain John Smith, and now we find out
that Isabella did not sell her jewels.
Next we shall learn that Cirsar was
not assassinated and that George Wash
ington lied when hia father asked him
about tbe tree.
But what difference does it make
whether these old stories are true ot
not ? We want to believe them. We
feel aa deeply pained when the light or
truth is turned on one of these myths
as we do when an eld friend dies. Sci
ence is serving no good end when it dis
proves a favorite tradition. It is more
over, wasting its valuable time. Ex
perience has proved that people will be
lieve fairy tales even when they know
they are false. So let tbe good ladies
who are interested in tbe sncjeet go on
and have their statne to Isabella mad.
Let the fair queen be represented as in
the act of presenting the jewels to Co
Iambus himself. If she did not give
tbe costly trinkets to tbe sterdy Gen
oese, the belief of all succeeding gener
ations proves she ought to bave done so.
Tbe real Isabella, af'er all, is tbe fanci
ful one. CAicoo JeraW.

Imperial Speaker Heed.
Oa Tuesday last an important bill was
considered and passed by the popular
branch of Congress. It was the most
important Judiciary measure which has
been acted npoo since the establishment
of the Federal Court system, nearly a
century ago. It provides for the ap
pointment of eighteen new Circuit
J hi res. two In each circuit, and gave to
these CIrcu'.l Csurta final appellate juris
diction in all except soma important
cases.
i Tbi3 will relieve the Supreme Court
I of a great deal cf the wotk which Is
I now imposed upou it, and will enable
Mr. Harrison to appoint eighteen parti
san Judges. While it does not revolu-
tionizs it certainly materially changes
the organization of tbe United States
Courts. A bill of so much Importance
ought certainly to bave been deliberate
ly and thoroughly disensaed. It was
forced through in an afternoon under a
resolution reported by Mr. Reed's Com
mittee on Rules fixing 5 o'clock of the
same day as the hoar for taking a vote.
Mr. Carlisle had been prevent at tbe
meeting, but tbe hour for closing de
bate was surreptitiously inserted in tbe
resolution after be bad quitted tbe
room. He protested against tbe limi
tation and the Democrats undertook to
compel a seasonable debate, but they
were defeated by Mr. Reed's control of
the House.
Our judicial system was finally
changed by a vote of less than a quorum,
and without tbe knowledge of tbe
country, for there was very little dis
cussion, the debate lasting not more
than an hour. In other words, there
was a snap judgment.
The incident is valuable and Impor
tant as showing how the country is ab
solutely at the mercy of Mr. Heed and
tbe blind partisans who are rushing
headlong after him. If it is poasinle to
change tbe Courts, to create eighteen
new Judgeships in an hour, without
proper debate, without enlightening tbe
people, what is to prevent tbe perp-
traticn of any legislative crime tX.

A Town Euiaed.
Bayou Sara, La., April 21. Af
ter a most heroic struggle to save this
city from the flood the people bad to
surrender to the great Father of Wa
ters at 12:30 A. m. At that hour the
guards reported tbat the levee had giv
en way at the foot of Fountain street.
A general alarm was sounded, and tbe
people responded promptly to tbe call.
This break was closed, but on examinas
tion it was found tbat the rising river
was running over the front levee. All
tbat human efforts could do had beau
done, and at .ast tbe solemn cry went
up all along the line, Give us men ; we
are gone," and iben tbe confusion of
tbe people can be better imagined tban
described. Every impromptu boat and
raft was brought into requisition. Lan
terns could be s e a everywhere and tbe
cries of men, women and childnn at
tempting to save their effects was a
sight tbat was sickening. Not a house
in town has escaped.
Tbe beautiful Fischer building, tbe
home of Mayor Irvine, supposed to be
tbe highest, is submerged. Tbe town
is in ruins. Nothing but chaos and de
struction meet the eye at every view.
To-day it is raining hard, which makes
tbe picture more gloomy. The water is
also running oyer a large extent of tbe
Pointe Coupee. The Taylor levee has
given way and tbe Fanny Yoor crevasse
will probably prove a very serious one.
Tbe large levees from tbe last accounts
are intact but things look critical.
A isew Orleans dispatch says that du
ring tbe afternoon a levee gave way at
Myrtle Grove plantation. In 20 min
utes the break was 50 feet wide and the
water rushing through i& torrents.
Later advices state tbat the crevasse is
more than 2,000 feet wide and eight to
ten feet deep. Much damage will inev
ltably result. At points above the riv
er is reported falling and danger to tbe
levees practically pas:.
The Tariff kills Trade.
The failure ot the Fan-American
Cocgrees to make any arrangement for
reciprocal trade between this country
and the Central and South American
S:ates is much to be deplored. Noth
ing stood in the way but our repellent
tariff laws. They prevent tbe importa
tion of ores, wool, copper, etc., by du
ties on raw material, and they also pre
vent the exchange of our manufact
ures for the coffee, rubber, etc., which
we buy and admit free of duty, but
which we cannot pay for in goods the
price of which ia enhanced by taxation
Subsidized ships would not mend the
matter. During the. year 1SSU we im
ported into the United S ates manu

This aggregate of over tUO.OOO'oou"
