Unquestionably the first duty of tbe present Congress was to have relieved the country from tbe burdens of taxa tion which weigh down upon its mater ial interests, imposing upon capital, oppressing labor and provoking a con flict between them. To the House of Representatives, the popular branch of the government, which goes up fresh from the people every two years, with which originate all bills of revenue and which under our system holds the purse strings, the people had a right to look for relief. It was tho Democratic House of previous Congresses that had devised economies in public expendi tures, and under its regime the lobby was driven from the halls of the national capital which bad been so long infested by the thieves. It was the Re publican Senate which had stubbornly resisted the popular measures of econo mic reform. The well known fact has been that the revenues of the country greatly exceeded its expenses, leaving a surplus to tempt tbe lobby. Even the accelerated payment of the principal of the national debt could not absorb this enormous surplus since there is a limita tion to the maturity of the bonds. What the people demanded was that there should be a restriction of expenditures, and a reduction of tiie revenue, which can only be raised by taxation, direct and indirect, which falls on rich and poor, capitalist and laborer, producer aud consumer. After a long and wearisome session of Congress under Republican control it is seen that the leaders of that party have misinterpreted the popular deniaud and abused their opportunity by devising new schemes of expenditure instead of providing relief from taxation. If they have saved at all, it has been at the spig got and only after they ha'd drawn the bung. Last year tbe surplus was over $100,000,000, and next year, notwith standing the abatement of some revenue taxes, it will be about $150,000,000. To a Congress marshalled by Keifer, Robeson and Hubbell, whose instincts and associations are received askance by u public thief, the uppermost thought has been, even in making reduc tions of the revenue taxations to leave the largest number of officeholders and to protect all the agencies upon the abuse of which the Republican organi zation depends to carry elections. How tenaciously this idea has been adhered to is pointed out in thellerald correspon dence with relation to the tobacco tax,u subject that is or special local interest here: It provides for certain reductions in li censes on tobacco, which ought to be struck out entirely, because the revenue from these licenses is insignificant in the face of so groat a surplus, and because if the licenses were entirely repealed not only would a vexatious interference with trade aud the people's employments come to au eud, but another economy would bo made by the dismissal from government employ of a considerable number of per sons collectors, inspectors and spies who must be maintained in office so long as these licenses are in foroe, now matter how little revenue results. In this matter the bill is disingenuous. It provides unim portant reductions upon insignificant sources of revenue apparently with the :ct of keeping the staff of office holders 6bj. -esent maximum strength. For at it .. the licenses to pedlers instance, . i reduced on all four of tobacco ai "' to $'30 on tho classes from $ov, - the second, from first, from $25 to 815 ou ' from $10 to $15 to $7 on the third anu 'ooks like $3.00 on the fourth class. This . ' fact a very handsome reduction. But iu -n the whole revenue collected from pedle- of tobacco was but $20,258 last year, and this at the cost of a good deal of interfer enoe and spying, to prevent some poor fel low from turning apenny by selling tobacco and cigars around at a country fair. The reductions made will leave the revenue from this source at about $13,000 for the year. With a surplus revenue of $150,000, 000, surely this wretchod license business, which is to yield $13,000, might be struck out entirely and the amount would bo probably made up by dispensing with the petty revenue officers who insure the cot lection of it. But that would hurt Mr. Jay Hubbell's feelings and diminish bis collections. There are other petty items of the same kind, whore the nominal reduction in the license charge looks quite magniucent and paternal, but where the whole license could be woll spared. Dealers in leaf to bacco, for instance, now pay a liceuse of $25, and tho bill, with great apparcut magnanimity, reduces this to $12. But tho whole revenue from this source last year was but $77,000, and under this reduction it will be but $36,000. Why should it stand at all, except to give an excuse for keeping a needlessly large number of peo ple in office ? A prevailing notion with the Repnbli cans is to keep all the office holders in even if the interests they have charge of do not amount to as much as their ex penses. The gross receipts of many of the custom houses do not amount to as much as the salaries of the beef, eaters who set in them, and in some sections of the country the same is true of the reve nue collections. But the dear old party must be maintained, and the ranks of the office holders kept filled up. There are more of them now than in war times, and while the national debt goes down, and the yearly interest is greatly reduced, the war taxes continue and tbe people are weighed down with their oppressive ness. If the doctors who displayed their ig norance of the Garfield case had been content with a professional fee and had not allowed any claim on their be half to be preferred for a larger amount than would have been fair for such ser vices rendered to any other patient, the country and themselves would have been spared the humiliation of these congres sional reminders that some of the dead president's attendants not only treated him in ignorance of bis condition, but speculated on the chances of his life or death. So long as Bliss and his asso ciates importune for an outrageous and exorbitant fee, so long they may expect the country to be reminded of the charlatism and quackery which too long pervaded the atmosphere of Mr. Gar. field's death chamber.

WOLFE'S HOPEFUL ffimns. Confident of the Future of the Independ ent Republican Movement. Iu Reading last evening Charles S. Wolfe delivered a lengthy speech before the members of tho Independent Garfield club, at their rooms. He was introduced by Cyrus G. Derr. After explaining that bis presence in Reading was accidental, Mr. Wolle said : " I suppose it is not necessary for me to say that I am a Re publican. I am like General Beaver I don't like adjectives. The county whioh I bad the honor to represent in the lower house at Harrisburg many years is under tbe control of the .Republican party. In our county we determine our party mat ters by party vote. We have done it for many years. Our peoplo have grad ually been educated to come to the primaries, and there make their choice for state as well as for national conventions We have to-day an organization in Penn sylvania not fully perfected, but is in a fair way of being prefected, and thcro is somo reason for its existence." Mr. Wolfe then referred to his candidacy for state treasur er and said it was merely to accomplish a specific object. It was for the purpose of agitating these ideas, for tbe purposo of showing up the spoils system and tyranny practiced by 'the boss and his henchmen. "You remember," be continued, "tho fifty thousand ' freemen casting their votes, not for me, but as a protest against the vicious practices of these unscrupulous men. At least forty thousand of these votes were cast by Republicans whose loyalty and intelligence is unquestionable. These people now propose to ignore these fifty thousand,'' to set at defiance and crash out the Independent movement; bat they cannot do it." WEABY WOMEN. THE WAT THAT LEADS TO DEATH. A Woman Detective Traces tter Husband to a Second Wire-The Tragedy or a FoUee Court. Philadelphia Becord. Among the prisoners in the dock at the central station yesterday afternoon was a young woman about 24 yoara old. She was neatly dressed, and her appearance indicated that she bad once been beauti ful. Her name was Annie Cunningham, and she was charged by Edward M. Hast ing, a saloonkeeper at No. 1314 Drury street with being a 6trcet-walker. During the last six years the woman had lived with Hastings and kept house for him. In tho latter part of last month Hastings attended tbe natioinal encamp ment of the Grand Army of the Republic at Baltimore, leaving Miss Cunningham and a bartender in charge of his saloon. On bis return it is alleged that tbe woman handed him $73 as two days receipts of the bar. The smallness of the sum angerea Hastings, and he became involved in a quarrel with the woman. She left the house, and took up her abode in a house of questionable character on North Sixth street. About a week ago Hastings learned of her whereabouts and had a was rani issued for her arrest as a street walker. Yester day morning he saw ber in the house of ill repute, and ho placed the warrant in hands of a Fourch district officer, who took the woman to the Central station. Sho was arraigned for a hearing at ten o'clock, and, as Hasting was the only wit ness against her, Magistrate South contin ued the case for further evidence until 2 o'clock in the afternoon. She was placed in a cell and shortly after 12 o'clock Hast ings came with a package containing sandwiches, oranges and poaches which ho handed Lieutenaut Crout to be given to the woman. Hastings lingered around the Central station until 2 o'clock, when the prisoners were brought up from thsir cells and placed in tho dock. Miss Cunningham took a seat in the corner, and Hastings approached and held a brief conversation with her. When tho case was called no witnesses appeared and tho woman was discharged. With a brisk and elastic step she walked through the building to Chest nut street. Hastings and a companion fol lowed her, and the woman crossed to the upper side of tbe street. She walked at a lively rate until sho was about opposite tho Washington statue, when she was observ ed to clasp her bands over her heart and fall heavily on the pavement She was at onco surrounding by a sympathetic crowd, who picked her up and carried her into au adjoining entry. The efforts to recuscitato her were unavailing. Tho womau was dead. A stretcher was procured and tbe body conveyed to tbe Central station and placed in the gloomy corridor leading to the cells. Over her pallid face lay a colored hand kerchief and her bauds wero crossed upon her breast. On ber corset was a streak of blood, which had trickled from a wound in ber head caused by tbe fall. Shortly afterward Hastings was brought into the Central station by a Reserve Offi -cer. Cooly wiping the perspiration from his forehead, he gazed upon tho dead woman, but manifested no emotion. Without any agitation he talked about the woman lying cold in death before him, and bo did not seem to have even the sympathy for tho dead woman that was exhibited by unin terested spectators. Ho said to Chief of Police Given that ho bad forwarded a tele gram to Felix Cunningham, of No. 1 Bleccker street. New York, informing him of Annie's sudden death. Clark Ashpridgo, of the coroner's office, ordered the body removed to the morgue. He notified Hastings to appear at the in quest this morning. About nine months ago the woman had a quarrel with Hastings, during which he beat ber in a cruel manner. She left him and stopped with Mrs. Beaver, on Sixth street, above Rice. He prevailed on hjsjl to return, and sho remained with him until about four weeks ago. Shortly after 12 o'clock ou last Wednes day night Miss Cunningham was in the saloon and restaurant of Edwin C. Carter, No. 204 North Fifth street. Hastings came iu, and picking up a Urge waiter, hurled it at her. Tbo missilo smashed a globe on a lamp, aud struck the womau on the head. She ran screaming into a rear room, followed by Hastings, who, it is said, beat her iu a cruel manner. Car ter who was in an upper room rau down stairs aud ejected Hastings. His barten der witnessed the whole affair. As a re sult'of the beating tho womau bad a black eye, a cut on tbe nose and hor arms and shoulders wero discolored by the blows she received. Hastings is well-known in the Eighth ward, where he has taken an active part in politics. Coroner Janney will investigate tbe case to-day. Hastings says that after Miss Cunning ham left the station be louoweu ner, ana she remarked to him that her clothing was too dirty for bim to be seen with ber, and that she would walk on tho other side of tho street. Spectators declare that Hastings was not with tho woman after sue left the station. ON Illii TRAIL. urmi fierce Austin, a isieauiiei iCTtn IUO nunuraiiDU rices. A few davs ago "Alfred Pierce," who Ims been cmnloyed by tbe Pennsylvania railroad company as a "caller," that is, to call the men to go ou duty, suddenly dis appeared after collecting bis monthly sal ary from tbo office in Philadelphia. He bas taken himself to parts unknown, leaving behind him two wives one living at Bur lington, N. J., and the other at Columbia, this state. The Burlington wife has one child, a little boy, and the other two pretty little girls. The fellow's name is Alfred Price lus tin. Three years ago bo made his appear ance in Burlington, assuming to bo a wealthy gentleman from California. He at once began to pay marked attention to Miss Josie M. Roberts, the daughter of a rich farmer who lived near Burlington. Miss Roberts' father had recently moved from Yonkers New York, and had purchas ed and paid for a $50,000 farm, and was supposed to bo worth $75,000. Tbo family is well known in Yonkers, where Mr. Roberts was highly respected. Miss Josio Roberts was and still is very pretty and highly educated. She was at tho time Tustin began to pay court to her still in her teens, living quietly at home, and, although she had many admirers and friends, did not go out much in society. Tustin was insinuating in his manners, was good-looking, and as an evidence of his wealth, showed deeds for property in California and paper) to prove bis stand ing. He first succeeded in winning tho young girl's affections, aud then turned tho father's bead by a display of his pre tended wealth. Finally the marriage was arranged, but it afterwards turned out that his funds bad run so low that he did not even pay the minister his feo for performing tho ceremony. His deceit was soon dis covered, but the tricked wifo and her family determined to niako the best of a bad bargain, and set him up in business and purchased household furniture. Mat ters began badly and ended miserably. Tustin spent all tbe money be could get, and after sending bis wife home to, her father on a pretended visit he sold oat tbe furniture and squandered the proceeds. He then came to tbe Roberts house to lire, Mr. Roberts having died in the meantime, leaving his property, much reduced, to Mrs. Roberts. Tastin. however, supposed that his wife had been left something, and wanted to gefc hold of it. He came home one day and cat at her with a knife, making., an ugly wound on ber band. Oae day after that she was takes ill, and Tustin Tolnateered to get her medi cine. He brought in a white powder and waa abemt to dose her with it when his mother-in-law interfered, and he threw the package under the bed. He then left tbe bouse. Mrs. Roberts gathered up the powder and was much startled to find that it was arsenic He afterward pro fessed repentance for the wrongs he baa donohis wife, and for a time behaved himself reasonably well. The property which bad been left to Mrs. Roberts turn ed out to be of small value, ber husband having lost nearly all his property in spec ulation, a fact which hastened his death. One day Tustiu told his wife that he could do well if he could get in business in Camden, and she pawned her jewelry to give him a start. He kissed his wife and child good-by, saying; "Now darl- inc. we will soon have our own home again," and left Burlington. Since then tbe wire bas not seen him. bhe.howcver, as soon as she discovered that be had de serted her, set about to find him, and after two years detective work of her own she traced him to Columbia, Pa., and found that he had married a lady there, was liv ing with her aud had two children, bbe at once wrote to him, but without allow ing him to suspect that she knew of his Columbia wife. He at once wrote from Philadelphia asking permission to come- and see ber and live with ber. In some way, however, he got an inkling of ber intention to have bim arrested and punished for bigamy, aud, as already re lated, he has disappeared leaving his Col umbia wife and children without a penny. His first wife has invited tbe Columbia wife to come to her at Burliugtou, but bas received no reply to her kindly message. m Poisoning n Farmer's well.

Broods Doing Last evening we visited tbe hennery (or lather batching bouse, for there aro no bens there) of Messrs. Longaker & Earn phraville, North Lime street, near Chest nut, and were shown no less than six hundred chicks of all ages, from the tiny peep just out of its shell to tbe well de veloped spring chicken of three months old. These birds were all hatched by ar tificial means two patent incubators be ing used. One of these is styled the "Perfect Hatcher," is manufactured at Elmira, N. Y., and is capable of hatching 500 eggs at a single setting. Tbe other is styled tbe " Axford." and is manufactured at Chicago, III. It contains 105 eggs at a setting. Tbe machines aro very in geniously constructed, having galvanic batteries and delicato clock-gear so ar ranged that a uniform beat of 103 or 104 degrees is kept up during incubation. Tho beat is supplied by coal oil lamps, the fiameof which is automatically raised or lowered by an attachment connecting the lamps with the clock-gear and battery. Mr. Humphreville informs us that the eggs batch in the incubators with more .Certainty than when placed under a hen. Of 104 eggs placed in tho Axford incuba tor, 100 were hatched. With the larger incubator, tho Perfect Hatcher, be has been equally successful and with even less trouble, as the eggs require no sprinkling, but are kept sufficiently moist by the evaporation of water from small tanks placed in the machine, and tho eggs may bo readily " turned," fifty at a time, by merely inverting the trays upon which they are placed. Mr. Humphreville says that with proper care and very little trouble, 95 per cent, of the eggs will batch, and not more than 5 per cent, of the chicks are likely to dio from accident or other cause. This is a much larger per ccntago thnu is batched aud reared by tbe natural hen. The chicks of different ages are kept in different rooms. Of tho COO shown us last evening, about 100 were hatched only a few days ago. They were all huddled together and appeared to be as happy and healthy as chicks hatched in tho natural way. Iu au adjoining apartment wero 200 more a few weeks old. In another room were about 250 still older and well feath ered, and further on was a room containing 150 more, all fine, plump, well developed spring chickens largo enough for table use. Tho youug chicks are at first fed on tbe yolks of eggs, hard boiled, to which is added bread crumbs. As they grow older they are given cracked corn, wheat screen ings, millet and other grain, with fresh cabbage leaves, fresh water, gravel, crush ed shells, &c. The water is kept in foun tains, so constructed that the chicks can not pollute it. In this largo family of artificially hatch ed chicks, Mr. Humphrovillo tells us he has had no lice, no gapas or sickness of any kind during tbo few months he has been engaged in batching. He says there is not much money in the enterprise at this season of tho year when all the farmers in the county are raising chickens, and the price is consequently low ; but ho believes there will be money made on young chickens for table use during tho winter and early spring months. new Uniforms. The Ironvillo cornet band was in town to-day aud received from Myers & Rath fon a set of fine uniforms light blue pants, dark blue coats, elaborately orna mented with gold and white plumes.
