Not an Easy Matter.

Western Republican Congressmen will not find it an easy matter to reconcile their conduct to their constituents if at the approaching session they do not aid in reducing taxation by reducing the tariff. When the question was up before, with the danger in the surplus not so apparent as at present, there were some Republicans who would not do the bidding of the protectionists and who in the interest of their constituents, voted for the consideration of revenue measures. The number will be increased at the coming session. The Democratic leaders in the next House cnn present a bill which the Republicans dare not take the responsibility of assisting to defeat. They can do this without surrendering to Randall, and can effect very substantial and much needed reductions in the tariff.— Detroit Free Press.

John-k Bright may have invented Bright’s disease, and, as Bill Nye would remark, his work is justly celebrated, but this should not have induced General Fairchild to claim the invention of palsy. General Fairchild is doubtless an able man and a very courteous gentleman, but he should not be extravagant in his desire to rival Mr. Bright.— Arkansaw Traveler.
