FRIDAY, JANUARY Li, 18*A
THERE is never a better time than the present to do most things, and to deal with the rail way-crossing question is uo exception. City Engineer Shearer’s v ws, which we presented the other day, ought to afford food for thought, and out of thought ought to come action. Action that will at least decide to do nothing, as the Irishman might »ay. The time ii pending when we must make a general aud permanent change in the railway condition or accept the one that prevails and hope only for such amelioration as an occasional viaduct or tunnel will give. If we are determined to bring about a better general condition the determination should be reached in time to go with the improvement in the passenger station, which the United Bail ways will make lor themselves. There is an area of strong senatorial contrast spreading over Ohio just now. Sherman b re-elected for .the fifth time with the honors that such an event implies, while his oolleague Mr. Payne, elected last year is confronted with specific charges of purchase made iu his behalf for the honor (!), name* and amounts. Bather it is not strictly true to say he is “confronted” with these things, since he has turned his back on them with the autumneemeut that he doesu r t intend to notice them, and with an expression of surprise that anyone should think them worth noticing. Perhaps he has the same notion of this sort of thing that the Indianapolis councilman has, who says he was offered $100 by the United States Customs Collector of this reform administration, to vote for a democratic candidate for a city office; but that “he regarded itflmplyas a business transaction.” May be Papa Payne looks upon these things as simply business. At any rate this charge ought to be investigated. Ohio polities seem to be about as rotten as anything can be and bold together.

'SCRAPS.”
In a recent ktter to the New York Times J. 8. Moore shows that under the act of 1SN3, revising the tariff, the law by which manufactures of cotton not bleached, colored or printed, and not exceeding 100 threads to
the square inch, “and exceeding in weight j ^ a l ,se I s ‘ nct tbe b ‘ te > ani ^ ,be peridd ol danfive ouuces per square yard,” were assessed i f? er WIH e,, her past or inevitable. We have at a duty of 5 per cent, on the square yard, read ot cases of hydrophobia showing
other it he fails. Any employer that forces the man dejiendent on him for his support, through the powers he possesses in that relation, to endure such labor or exposure or fatigue as breaks down the forces of nature, is morally, aud should be legally, responsible tor auy wrong done to the victim of his compulsion. Engineers ou railways are often required to “double the road,” aud wnile some can stand it easily, many can not, and take the last hours of the double run in a half-dazed condition, which makes them' more or less incapable of doing their duty. The railway company which thus abuses its power over its men should be made responsible in damages for the mischief that may ensue, and the officers making or enforcing such iniquitous regulations should be criminally responsible where the proof Is clear.
Pasteur’s Remedy.
The Newark mad-dog bitten children have got home hearty and happy, and well pleased with their trip to Paris. Yet nothing is settled by their case. They may go mad yet. They might never have gone mad if they had stayed at home. The dog that bit them may uot have been mad, or he may not have bitten them so as to infect them. M. Pasteur may have saved them trom a horrible death by hydrophobia, but he may not. There is uo certainty iu the matter. The whole theory and practice of hydrophobic inoculation is too new yet to contain any assurance to a dog’s victim, though it certainly warrants hope. The Belgian case alluded to the other day is the nearest approach to proof of M. Pasteur’s theory that has yet been achieved. He, it ii Ay be remembered, was given charge of the worst mangled of three children bitten by a mad dog near the Belgian frontier. The one treated by him escaped all harm and remained healthy and hearty, while the other two, less seriously injured, died in all the agonies of an attack of hydrophobia. This is something like evidence. Not conclusive, by any means, but encouraging and open to completion as final proof by a few repetitions under similar circumstances. It is reported that the French savant refused to treat a Boston man because over seventy days had
was “revised” by leaving oift the quoted words. The effect of this was to throw that prude ot goods under the general clause of “not otherwise provided for,” Bod the effect of this was to subject them to a duty of 125 per cent. And yet this kind of thimblerigging game, which was worked ia the alleged interest of a revision of the tarlfl, is now urged by the folk who profit from it as cause why “the business interests of the country” should not be “disturbed’' by any new “tariff tinkering!** The existing tariff law swarms with such devices as this for plundering coneumers, and yet no hand must be raised against it! We believe the mass of people think differently, and that the time is not far off when there will be an honest revision of the tariff—a revision that will revise.
Madame Adam writes that she does not believe that (jlaUstone is a great qtau. because “he wears bW pantaloons too snort.”—(Chicago Times. This can not be. Madame Adam would not express herself in this Improper manner. There's no such English word *» ••pantaloons.” Let the Chicago Timer pause and pondar.—[New York bus. The Sun is mistaken. There Is such an English word as “pantaloons.” Like the other word which means the same thing— “trousers," it comes from the French. It is equally well anglicised, of as undoubted 'correctness, and in this country of much more general usage. The definition of each is the same, and they are synonyms. Pantaloons has now a wider significance than trousers; it means all aorta of male garments for legeoveriug, while trousers mean more especially the loose garment of sailors and laborers. The difference is fine, but by so much offers reasons for ita use which trousers do ■ot. The ohief reason for the use of the latter ia that it ja “English, you knew,” pantaloons being less frequently used by the English. As a matter of euphony, we confess to as strong a liking for “trousers” as the Suq has, but this is a matter of taste, ▲s a matter pf correctness there U no objection to “paatotooBs,” and the Bun ought to eease its persistent misrepresentation in this particular. _________ The New York World has been making a •anvass of Ike ailvar question, ao to speak, by taking ita newspaper exehangee as reflexes of public opinions. Of HS, which have expressed decided opinions since the recent revival of discussion, 58 favor tbe suspension of the Silver coinage and 55 oppose U. Those favoring suspension are: Democratic, 82; republican. $1; independent, d. Those opposed are: Democratic, 41; republican, IQ; independent, 4. The World finds that it Is not true that tbe West and the South are united again* the East. There are notable newspapers of infiueace in the South, whieh favor suspcaaion. Such as one or ■sore of Memphis, Charleston, Savannah, Chattanooga and Macon, all of them representative papers. On tbe contrary tbs most inQuentlal ones are opposed to suspension and there ia no question that tbe majority of Southern eentiment is opposed to it. So It is in the West with perhaps fewer exceptions than in the South. The press of New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Baltimore ia practically unanimous in

They say the natives ot the interior are very numerous an,i treacherous, but are easily frightened. In one place they gathered by thousands on the river bank, arrayed in war paint, ami evidently ready to attack the party. Three terrific blasts from the steamer’* whistle sent them scurrying into the wood*, leaving hundreds of bows and arrows and other implements of war behind them. They assert that the party was strong enough to keep thousands of natives at bay, and that they were never in any danger of being massacred. They hare brought back with them twenty new birds and a large variety of curious aud beautiful inserts. The naturalists, however, regret that they kept to the water instead of taking to the mountains, where much richer collections would have

The Louisiana Lottery In Danger. [Correspondence Boston Herald, j Only a day ago I saw Colonel Aleck McClure, and his mind seemed engrossed with his contest against the Louisiana lottery. He gave me a curious history of his legal contest witli the corporation, which he is now contending has uo legal existence. For several years Mr. Dauphin and his associates have been suing him and the Philadelphia Times for libel, but while Colonel McClure has been pressing the suits to a trial, the lottery company have been as actively engaged in preventing the ease from reaching the courts. When MeClure went to New Orleans last year they arrested him for libel. He endeavored to press the case to an issue, but, while the lottery company was suing him tor many thousands of dollars,' their efi'ort really was to get a verdict under $5,000, so that the ease could be taken to the $upreine Court of the United Stales. Finding that this scheme could not succeed, they have been industriously endeavoring to prevent the case from coming to trial, Colonel McClure has, however turned the tables upon them now, and, for the first time iu tbe history of this famous lottery company, it is now fighting for its own existence. Colonel McClure has brought a suit against them which will bring the company before the Supreme Court of the Uuited States, where it is his purpose to show by I lauphin’s own answers to interrogatories that it is violating the statutes of every State in the Uuiou aud the laws of the United States, and has, therefore, uo legal existence. Iu the pursuit of this ambition to destroy the lottery company. Colonel McClurespends considerable time in Washing ton and is an active element in the national legislation proposed during the present Congress against such institutions. Mr. MeLauahlin, as well as Colonel McClure, the editor of the Times, avers that all the resources of that journal shall be employed in destroying this lottery company, which is now for thp first time in a ^position where it must answer before the Federal Court at Washington, which it is expected, will put au end to its business.

[Goshen Kews.1
Uncle 8am can stamp a piece of paper, and by promising to redeem the same in gold, or its equivalent, be can float a limited amount at par side by side with gold, but let the amount exceed his ability to redeem, or the confidence of the people in his ability to redeem, and it will depreciate. He can and does put forth eighty cents of silver and stamps it one dollar, but it is a dollar in name only, although it passes for one dollar. The
question is, how long can it last? Italian Revolt Aaatnst Cigars.
The Italian people have left off smoking cigars, owing to their indignation at a new law affecting the price. In Borne an association called tne Pipe Club has been termed, every member of which refuses to smdke cigars. In Naples companies of young men parade the streets with long pipes, so that a regular revolution in the habits of the people
have been effected.

* THE TEMPERANCE tjL'ESTION The Only Positive Movement of the D«y
—>lany Republican* Favoring It. |G*tb In tbe Cincinnati Enquirer.]
It is the active party spirit and the prescience of popular politicians which fans the fiame of oxygen and keeps the people to the very bottom of a fresh ami Hving stream. This government for some years after the war bade fair to be a more popular government than ever, and to have a controlling influence among the nation*. France has now been under institutions simitar to ours for fifteen years, and her president has just been elected again, while the republican spirit is strong in 8pain; and Brazil contaius at this moment a powerful popular party opposed even to the remaining probation upon slavery. It may be that the United States is to look backward and consume itself in tbe study of abstract morals at the expense of popular freedom. In this state ot affairs, it is no wonder that the prohibition question is coming forward like an eagle; and up to thietime it has had no example or encouragement trom the executive power here in Washington. On every side 1 find that, as the old party lines give way. the only positive movement of tbe day, which is tbe local option or temperance question, is coming to the front, aud in a very different form from that which it assumed in other times.

conversations upon liquor as the true bottom of political vice rather than the civil service reform question. One is a matter ot official classification, the other of general aud popular morals and habits. The one aims to dethrone the political forces, the other to enthrone the moral forces and to give the mind healthy and intelligent course. The brewing and distilling interest in most of the States gave Cleveland the parse to be elected. There is an undoubtesi disposition to take political government out of the dram-shops aud put it where temperate discussion and
family life have control.
The two great political parties are now mere organizations without any differing views.' Neither party is for tariff' or for free trade. Neither party is for silver or against silver. The temperance question is the only question since the war, except the civil service question, which has made friends in both parties, and there are men in Congress and the Senate to-day ou the democratic side who are committed to tbe new local option

I was talking with Mr. Webb, long of the State of Kansas,within the present week, aud he said that over that State temperance was the law and observance everywhere—except, perhaps, in the city of Leavenworth, where the law was not sustained. Said he: "Before this temperance legislation Kansas hod a great deal of lawlessness. Cow-boys, generally ot Texas stock, would come into our new towns, tire up with liquor, draw their pistols and control them.

Political Hypocrisy.
Bradlaugh has taken the oath and liis ■eat in Parliament, and therewith comes an announcement of a policy concerning him on the part of the conservatives which is edifying, perhaps. The conservatives, it must be borne in mind, are the official Christians of England, so to speak. In the last campaign “the Church” was one of their great rallying cries. This might have been simply a political question—its it was in truth—being a defense of the establishment of the Church as a political affair; but the conservatives characterized the opponents of this scheme not as merely misguided followers of an unsound political tenet, but as infidels and scoffers, and it had all th e parish sewing societies and tea-parties inflamed with holy zeal to support the conservatives because they were defending the true religion against infidelity. (Fancy Gladstone as a “boss” infidel!) Well, now the conservatives al'low Bradlaugh, a sure enough infidel (it we may take his word for it), to bind himself by an oath in whieh he doesn't believe. A me mber of Parliament who js declared by verdict of the courts to have illegally sworn is liable to a fine of £500 tor every vote he easts. And now, do these pious conservatives propose to try Bradlaugh on the question? No, They will let him elide;” but they will hold this chance over his head, and if he gives them any trouble will prosecute him. So long as he votes with them their consciences will not hurt them aa to his false swearing; but the moment he shows signs ofgoing against them hi* impiety will shock them, so that they will presecute him for having taken the name of the Lord in vain. We have had a good many instances of political demoralization
in this country
and hypocrisy, but we don’t recall any wbicU has gone the length of the English conservatives’ juggling with sentiments whieh even savages held as sacred; using the matter of belief or disbelief in God as a party “screw” to which pressure will be applied according to party necessity. Whether Bradlaugh will choose to put the strain on the conservative’s piety or not remains to be eeen. He may Rave discretion enough to nee his place for the good of the country and the enhancement ot hie own reputation. But he will certainly make a considerable departure from his record if he does. He is restless, plucky, audacious and aggressive, and very unlikely to be quiet when there ie anything stirring that he can stir np more vigorously.

Carolina, this issue is brought to continual notice by demoralization and crimes in the towns. Mr. Book waiter told me that the whole pauperism of Europe is ascribable to drunkenness, as is the prostitution, the incapacity for self-government aud the stupidity which is never alert enough to seize freedom by the hand. In all our States, with one or two exceptions, there are nominal statutes regulating licenses and saloons, but the law is a piece of hypocrisy, the very police who are exj*ected to enforce it being in reality the supporters and protectors of the lawbreakers. Hence lias arisen in some quarters doubts of the people to be fit for self-govern-ment, because so many ot them are under the government of alcohol. The great sovereign of the world receives more homage than uny celestial deity or system of religion. The offerings to it in money j are thousands of millions, and the poor are the chief contributors. The recently enfranchised negroes do their worship at the forest groggery.
