The ways and means cemmittee of the house, and the iinance committee of the senate, are getting very generous.

Pendleton has opened his civil service reform battery on that hydra-headed Kepublican "god and morality thing" called "the administration," and when the first shot strikes the target he will flnd Secor Eobeson & Co. securely intrenched behind twenty-years' stealidgs, with the most expensive (paper) navy in the world to back them. Almost all of the largest and most prominent tobáceo manufacturera in the country are either shut down entirely or running on half time on account of the proposed reduction in the tax. What the manufacturera seem to want is to let the tax alone as the retail dealers will not buy to anyextent. Tobacco is a luxury, and those who use it are the ones who pays the revenue. There are hundreds of other things that are taxed unjustly, among which are the actual necessaries of life. and it is about time that conpress turned itsattention toreducing the tax on these and leave that of tobacoo alone. - -B_i . AccoBDiNG to the report of Indian Commissioner Price there are, all told, 262,336 Indiana in the United States, of whom 77,808 reside within the limits of the Indian territory. The five civilized tribes- the Cherokeea, Creeks, Chickasaws, Choetaws and Seminóles- constitute ahout one-fourth of the Indian population. The commÍ3sioner strongly recommends the return of the Nez Perces, who are dying off rapidly in the Indian country, to their home in Idaho territory. Mr. Perry Beimont tells the New York Herald that, in his opinión, legitímate trade and enterprise are greatly oppressed by taxati, m, and therefore his sympathies are with the anti-monopolists. In this connection he pointe to the fact that the democrats of New York, since 1874, have constantly attempted to subject corporations tothe rigidscrutiny of State authorities. He thinks that sueh a tariff as the genuine protectionists demand is clearly outside the constitution. I n the United States Senate, on the 9th inst, Dan. Voorheea, of Indiana, said: " The power of money and corporations was manifest in many ways, and was now throwing itself against the ballot-box ; and no evil of the present time was so menacing to the liberties of the people as the amount of money raised to infiuence the recent election. It was admitted that, during the Garneld eampaign, that 8400,000 were expended by the Republicana in Indiana." The democratie party to-day presents a front unbroken by internal biekerings or jealousies. For twenty years, with but a single exception, (and upon that occasion it was wronged of the prize it had fairly won), it has suffered defeat after defeat, until it seemed as though victory had forever taken its departure ; but it has passed through the trying ordeal, and comes forth with renewed vigor, to battle for the rights of the people ; and it has shaken off the men who, by their personal dishonesty, have cast odium upon it. The following States are shown, by the census bulletin, to have over 8100,000,000 invested in manufacturing industries: New York, $514,000,000; Ponnsylvania, $474,000,000; Massachusetts, $303,000,000; Ohio, $188,000,000; Illinois, $140,000,000; Oonnecticut, $120,000,000; and New Jersey, $106,000,000. The total amount invested in manufacturing in,dustry in the United States is $2,790,223,506; the value of the product, $5,309,667,706; the wages paid, $947,918,674, or, as shown in a recent number of the Farmers' Eeview, less than twenty per cent. of the total value of the product. The conflict between Jay Gould (by many supposed to be the richest man in the world) and Bennett, (owner of the New York Herald), will surely be moet ruinous to one or the other- perhaps to both. Gould buys newspapers, but these are impotent when arrayed againat the ubiquitouB Herald and its countless allies. It is a con lest rather between brute force (money) and moral power. The pre6S of the country, to the extent that is not bougbt up by Gonld, will adhere, it seems, to Bennett. - [American Register. Let not the Register borrow trouble. Gould is too wealthy and too shrewd to lose any more than he can afford. James Gordon Bennett is too brainy and too well entrenched to be injured au iota by Jay Gould, who is not worth money enough to even worry Bennett. The New York Herald is too absolutely independent of any influenee or power that Jay Gould can bring to warrant the intimation that there can be any possible danger to him. Bennett is backed by moral streDgth and public sentiment, and he has a fortune and brains equal to tlie eraergcncy in a oontest with Jay Gould. We rather admire the brilliancy and keennesa of Gould, but he never can cope with Mr. Bennett, whom we regard as a man of superior character, brond views, large heart, and possesting a spirit of public enterprise and loyalty to the people that niakes him, to-day, a leading man in the nation. He has wealth to back him and knows how to utilizo it. - [Adrián Presa. ■ I ■ Swindlers Abboad. - If any one has representad that we are in any way interested in any bogus bitters or stuff, with the word "hops" in the name, cheating honest folks, or tbat we will pay any of their debts.they are frauda and iwindlers, and the victims should punish them.
