TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 18S2. readily be believed that his death has been resolved upon. But the worst enemies of Ireland are those who resort to brutal crimes to accomplish her freedom. The cause loses sympathy and support which is sustained by murder, and no cause can succeed which is supported by any such means. If the Irish leaders were half as wise as they should be, they would use the influence they have to put a stop to the foul business of assassination and personal outrage.

Severe has been the chastisement administered to the Alaskan Indians, but it is to be hoped that it will be salutary in its effects. From current accounts it appears that the savages, by their hostile acts, rendered the bombardment unavoidable. The destruction of the village was a stern warning, and it is not likely that the Indians will again assume the offensive. Occurrences of this description are to be regretted, as they often lead to shocking cruelties on both sides. Nevertheless the rosewater policy that teaches that Indians who have murdered white men should be reasoned with and mildly requested not to repeat their crimes, does not answer in all cases.

Humanity's promptings urge that restive savages or barbarians should be stroked with a velvet glove, but cases arise in which they must be struck with a hand of iron. The Bashaw of Tripoli was not brought to his senses until Preble bombarded his capital and shattered his castle and fortifications. Remonstrances are often jeered at, but the burning of the village of Hachiuso cannot be misunderstood by its whilom Clothier, Strawbrld DEALERS IN DRY EIGHTH AND MARKET. AJHL RCEDErER REIMS BMSOSFOSSEEEil876 THE FUTURE OF POLITICS. The people did it; not Democrats, nor Republicans, but the whole people.

Whether they had good cause or bad for their work of last week they did it, and as their will is the law of the land, men who are sensible and patriotic will accept the result in good faith and with cheerful compliance. It will not greatly matter whether the men who hold the offices call themselves Republicans or Democrats if they properly realize that they hold them in trust for the whole body of the people, and that it is not partisan advantages they are to labor for, but the general prosperity and welfare. The Republicans were not wise in their control of Congress since they again came into possession of it; but they have another session before them, beginning in less than a month. There are exceedingly important measures which await consideration, and which, had they been considered at the last session, the Republican party would not have suffered so much in the loss of public confidence. The most imMrtant of all these is the revision of the TarilT laws.

It is announced that the Commission appointed at the last session to suggest the revision of these laws will reKrt as Boon as Congress meets, supplementing its report with such recommendations as the evidence submitted to it during the summer will justify. The act apinting the Commission was prepared and presented to Congress by a staunch Itepublicau and Protectionist, and it was, in cllect, the act of a Republican Congress, although a large number of Democrats in both houses voted for it. It must, consequently, be considered a Republican measure, and when the report and recommendations of the Commission are submitted next month the Republican Congress should act promptly upon them, and not by delay throw the settlement of this great question over to the next Congress, which will be Democratic in the lower and popular House. Whatever good can be done by determining properly the revision of the Tariff laws the Republicans should do, in order that they may receive the credit for doing it. The country would greatly prefer that they should do it, for if they avoid the responsibility that rests upon them in connection with it there is reason to fear that the Democrats will take advantages of their opportunity to make a revision that will greatly interfere with our industrial pursuits.

It is not anticipated that they would dare attempt to go so far as to destroy the principle of protection, although such prominent leaders as Carlisle and Hurd are already clamoring for what would be practically a free trade Tarifl. But, while these extreme radicals would be opposed by their own party in efforts to totally destroy the protective principle, it is still possible, or even probable, that if It is currently said that the Board of City Trusts is meeting with difficulty ia the selection of a successor to President Allen in the executive chair of Qirard College. The office is one that should, indeed, be filled with careful discrimination, and it cannot be reasonably expected that an incumbent can be found capable of at once filling the late venerated president's place. The (tosition is in many respects unique in its requirements, and no man's experience in other situations of responsibility can have been such as to command the suffrages of the board. The most that can Ie looked for is that the new executive should be capable of growing into the place as fittingly as President Allen grew into it.

He should first of all be a Phila-delphian, as it would be an uncalled for reflection upon this community to go abroad for a candidate after a three-months' canvass of the city. Scholarship is a prime qualification, but not scholarship carried to pedantry. As one of the trustees very sensibly remarked, "We do not want another pedagogue." The pedagogic department of the college is very well as it is, and it is the executive department that needs a head. The proposed president should, therefore, bo a man of executive capacity; a man of affairs, not of books, capable of co-operating with tho board and of carrying out the board's designs. He should be old enough to exercise authority with judgment, and young enough to adapt himself to the situation, with a fair prospect of a long term of increasingly valuable service before him.

He should be a strong man, spiritually, morally and physically, but at the sam time not of a stubborn will to opposs the policy of the board. He should he of sympathetic nature, entering into and understanding the life of the boys under his care, but of firm and even temper, administering justice with unswerving impartiality. With these qualifications he can quickly gain the experience necessary to fill the place acceptably; without them no amount of experience elsewhere will be of avail. Surely such a man can be found in Philadelphia, and the board will not need to go out of town for an official in the city trusts. There is one thing which the late verdict of the people should settle, which is the matter of levying political assessments upon the employees of the government.

Mr. Jay A. Hubbell, Chairman of the Congressional Committee, fancied he was doing great and valiant service for his party, service which would be certain to give it continued control of the House of Representatives, by hauling his small-meshed drag net through the government departments, and compelling even poor women and children to pay tribute to the Congressional Committee. He heaped denunciations upon the newspapers that condemned his demoralizing practices, and boasted that despite of their censures he had collected more money this year than had ever been collected in any previous year. Altogether, it is estimated that he collected about four hundred thousand dollars, all to secure the election of a Republican majority in Congress.

The people thought so ill of his nefarious work that they elected a House of Representatives in which the Republican majority is supplanted by the almost unprecedented Democratic majority of over 70 votes. A political corruption fund, wrung from men, women and children," few of them paid more than bare living salaries or wages, appears to be, from its results, the very worst device that could be resorted to, and, if the facts could be definitely ascertained, we have no doubt it would be seen that of all the causes operating against the success of Congressional candidates, none were more potent than Mr. Hubbell's assessment circulars. It did not help him or his friends at all that the circulars were issued with the approval of the heads of Departments and the President himself. They were simply backmailing, extortionate circulars, and so the people considered them.

Hereafter there should be no more of them. The conscience of the country is opposed to them. The Land League is dead, but the tares it sowed are still being harvested. It is true that the League did not directly counsel assassination, but it did not counsel against it. When one political or agrarian murder followed another iu quick succession the Land League leaders did not utter one word against the bloody work of the poor, ignorant people whose passions they had inflamed to the point of assassination.

It was not until two great officials were killed, and the crime excited the condemnation of the whole civilized world, that the League's leaders were inspired to utter the first denunciatory word against assassination, and then they uttered it feebly. The death of the League was due more directly to the murders of Phoenix Park than to all other causes beside, for it was recognized that but for the inflammatory teachings of the League the Secretaries would not have been butchered. The recent attempt upon the life of the noted Dublin Judge Lawson was unquestionably a political crime. Judge Lawson has rendered himself especially obnoxious to Land Leaguers and Fenians by the direct course he has pursued in all trials where men were brought before him for political or agrarian crimes. lie has shown a rigorous determination to bring to justice all offenders against the peace, and it can TIM XXWS IV BRIEF.

Fair weather it indicated on Wednesday in New England and the Middle ami Out Slate, A WEEK AGO TO-DAY the people of the United States for, practically, the whole country was involved in the movement rose up and overturned the existing government, passed a heavy vote of censure ou the national administration, and decided to trust themselves and their fortunes, for a period, to the political party which they have distrusted for a quarter of a century, and which shows no signs of doing better now than it did when it was overthrown in 1800. And yet the gloomy predictions uttered, after the result of the Ohio election had showed the possibilities iu store, have not been realized. The country has not gone to destruction, values have not become unsettled, business has not been demoralized, and even the sensitive stock market does not show any alarm beyond its natural shrinkage at any sudden change. Is all th is because the people have confidence in the Democratic party and have decided to adopt its principles for the future free trade, the spoils system, political assessments and all? Not a bit of it. It is because (he people have confidence in themselves, more confidence now than they ever had before.

They have demonstrated that they are stronger than any boss or combination of bosses, that the couutry is still their own hands, and that whifu it is there it is safe. If the Democrats do not believe this is the true interpretation of ast Tusday'B vote, let them attempt to carry out their favorite principles iu the coming Congress and the vote of will convince them. Mr. Blaine has formally announced that he is not a candidate for President in 1884. In fact, before the elections of last Tuesday were held, and, consequently, before the sentiments of the country were known, it was publicly stated that Mr.

Blaine would not permit his name to be again used in connection with a Presidential nomination. Mr. Blaine is wise in determining to stand personally aloof from the contest; he has won all the honor that is possible for one man to earn, for he would gain no more if he were to gain the office of Chief Magistrate. But we believe that, under present conditions, that would be impossible. Mr.

Blaine is. personally and politically, probably the strongest citizen of the nation in the affection and respect of his countrymen; but Mr. Iilaine is identified with only a part of the Republican party, not now with the whole of it. It would not help him at all as a PiesiJential candidate to urge that his candidacy would represent the sentiments of those Republicans who in the late elections reversed the former Republican victories of great Commonwealths; for, if his name were presented to the National Republican Convention of 1884, his nomination would be op posed by the defeated faction of the party; and, evea if they should be unable to pre' vuut his nomination, thev would continue to the last hours the polls were open to combat his election. The whole Stal wart army, from Arthur, Conkling, Cam eron down, would fight against him.

Mr, Blaine's nomination would keep alive the party's quarrels, and keep open the party's breach. Such a candidate could not be elected, for the party that elects the Presi dent in 1884 must be united, and if that party is to be the Republican, its candidate must be one that all Republicans, leaders, rank and file, can heartily support. It cannot go into the contest with the most popular of its leaders if by so doing it would continue the party's division. GOODS EXCLUSIVELY, EIGHTH AND FILBERT. i- CASHMERES Are very much in demand.

On the 10th instant, Mrs. the task of revision is relegated to the Democratic House, that it will make many sweeping reductions of duties, to the great injury of our manufactures. The Republican Congress, while it is yet in power anil while the opportunity is presented it in the submission of the report of the revision Commission, should loss no time in making a revision based upon the jiolicy of protection to our in dustries.

The Tariff laws are muddled and complicated. They are in some cases discriminating, especially in favor of cer tain corporate interests. They are difficult of execution, causing unnecessary trouble and annoyance. They need to be so simplified as to render it easy for any executive officer of the customs to execute them promptly and satisfactorily. They need to be made fair where they are discriminating.

The principle upon which they are based is wholly good, but they should be newly formulated. This is the work the present Republican Congress should do, for by doing it thoroughly and well the Democrats will have no excuse propose a further revision of the Tariff laws. They should be given no excuse, and if they make an unsatisfactory one to interfere with a just taritr the country will not support them in it, and without such support they will fail. Another very iniiortant measure which this Republican Congress should promptly attend to is the repeal of the internal revenue taxes. Tliey are war taxes, and are justly considered unpopular.

They are not needed, because the annual surplus of the Treasury is vastly in excess of all the revenue realized from them. They involve the support of thousands of officials, who should be got rid of, for the smaller the number of government employees the better for the country. The Republicans can gain great credit for repealing these taxes, and if they fail to repeal them the Democrats certainly will not. Prokessok Albert R. Leeds, who was summoned as an expert by the City Councils of 'Wilmington in the matter of the Wilmington water supply, has submitted his final report.

The report urges, as the result of observations and analyses continued over the past six months, that the present supply from the lower Brandy-wine be immediately discontinued as too contaminated for safe use, and the supply be drawn from Rockland dam. five miles farther up the Brandywine. This dam is 120 feet above the level of the present pump well, and will afford, if need be, the entire daily flow of the Brandywine river, averaging throughout tho year one hundred million gallons per diem, as taken from a point where the water is in its purest condition. If Rockland dam cannot be secured, the report advises the adoption of Rockford dam, one and a half miles lower down the stream. In this case pumping will have to be resorted to and MARGARET LOUDERBACK, relict of Henry Londerbnek, aned eighty live years.
