Ho introduced a bill on the first day of the cession to compel it to pay the cost of surveying , selecting and convoying lands granted to it. " ' , 'How sharper than a serpent's tooth It is to havo'a'tlmhklcBs child. " This is the way the congressman clout from the Third district pays the rail road for . ( ending out its glee club dur ing his campaign and continuing their salaries. Tuttho road can stand this buo ingratltn3e , It In not afraid of the consequences. TUB story.comos from Washington that General John Gibbon , colonel of the Seventh infantry , which has been recently removed from the department of Dakota (6 the * department of iho Plotto , has just narrowly escaped a court1 martial. * General Gibbon has long hold that when tbo general com mandlng the "department where ho was sUtiohVd loft } t4 , ho was entitled to act as commandorby virtue of his rank. Tho.-wor : dopartniont hold otherwise and Waa fortified by an opinion from the attOjui < y : genoral. General Gib bon pcrcHVciT Tind when General Terry - ry recently paid a visit to his homo in Cinolnnatr HTled ng 11 to oxeroleo his authprityTrTGaneral Shurldon then summarilJti&d his regiment over to the depBrTStent of the Platte and reported to General Sherman that Gibbon ought to .bo court martialod , in' which view Shormau coincided. Secretary Lincoln , however , decided to let G ieal Gibbon off with a warn , ing that > must never occur again. AU of which goes to show that OTCU in the army everything is not lovely and. serene among those high in com mand , ' i. . radical reduction in taxation , and congress seems disposed to meet the demand. At present the fifty million inhabitants of thin country are con tributing nn average of sir or seven dollars etch a year to the government , which Is some 8100,000,000 annnally in excess of what is needed by the na tional treasury , How to relieve the public of thia unnecessary burden is the problem presented to congress. There nro two methods of taxation. Ono consists In/levying / customs duties on various articles from abroad which enter into domestic consumption in thli CDuntrjf thus enhancing their price in proportion in the tariff im posts. Indircc'Jly , also , the customs dutic inqre/iso the price of every arti cle .of the Bitao class manufactured at homo , because thuy cut ofl foreign conipotitlou. A tatiIT is a tax which ia nicoiscry just in proportion to the neccssitU-B of the truatury , and the protection which it affords to industry through its operation ) Another method of taxation is that which levies impoetH on intoxicating Ifquora and tobaccu. These taxca experience - porionco has proved do less harm nnc constitute Icnn burden upon trade nnc Industry than any other taxes known to the ccionco of finance. They are paid raoro readily nnd with leas grumbling than any other taxes. Pooplp would eooncr nmoko ant drink but their taxes than contribute to the government in any other way T.IO report of the secretory of the treasury shows that the revenue of the government for the last fiscal year was 3103,025,250.28. Of this amount , in round numbers , 8220,500,000 was derived from custom duties , ,8140 , * 500,000 from the internal revenue and the remaining $30,000,000 from mitcollanoons eources , Now , taxation may bo reduced in two ways. ( Jongresn may order a do orcaso in the charges of the interim rovouno department , or it may moko u general reduction in the tariff. Too Increased dumaudo upon thu public tronjury trom the pension bureau makes it probable ( hat the treasury will not. bear n greater reduction ir , the revenue than aovonty millions. Mr. Kelly proposes to reduce thin turplua by nwepping nxvay all taxes on tobacco , aomo § 17,000,000 , , find takes of in addition the internal rovrnuo on matcher , b.ui-k dopoaitn anc chocks uud perfumery , which wil bring thu total reduction to 75,000- 000. Thin nchcme , if carried into effect , will , of courao , block al piano for tariff reform. And this So oxaotly Pig Iron Kolly'a object. Mr. Morrison , of Illinois , who per haps nearly roprcacnto public senti ment , nrcoonto another muthod to reduce - duce taxation. Ho proposed to abolish the internal revenue taxes , amount ing to $28,000,000 on all articles excepting copting on liquor nnd tobacco , nnd to make such a revision of the tariff un der the report of the tariff commission , aa will doorcase the tax from customs by $42,000,000 additionally. It will readily bo eecn that Mr , JMorrleon'a plan efteolo n reduction in the very ttixas which bear most heavily upon iho people. The tax on nntohoo , bauk cheoVs and dopoaitn nnd drug gists sundries cjruo directly from the consumers' pockota in the increased prices paid by them for the articles which they purchase. The taxes on iron , , stool , wool , sugar nnd the raw products ontorlngs into Iho irnnnfac- turo of articles of consumption are also paid directly by the people. The internal revenue .taxes , nsldo from these mentioned nbovc , nro on articles of nccisnity. The tariff taxes uro chiefly levied on articles of necessity. Mr. Kolly'a plan for tax reduction is drafted in the interest of industrial monopolists. Ita object is to deplete the treasury surplus without mate rially decreasing the burdens of the people. Mr. Morrison's method is in accord with public sentiment , aa of- fording a substantial relief to the public in decreasing by nearly one- fourth the entire burden of taxation under which the nation is now stag- goring. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ PRESERVE THE PARK. While congress is In the reform mood , it will do well to Investigate the leasing of the Yellowstone Park to private parties by Assistant Secretary of the Interior Joslyn. This park was sot apart aa a national reservation for public use by an act of congress , and the interior department is seriously straining its powers when it permits it to bo turned into a bonanza for hotel keepers. Already throe lines of rail road ara pointing towards the park , the timber is being out down to erect buildings for the Now York oyndicnto which holds n franchise to erect hotels within its boundaries , and there is every indication that with the rush of pleasure suckers und the inauguration of tlio various enterprises which nro now on foot in the interests of money makora the object for which the park was cot naido will bo defeated , Gon- nrnl Sheridan , who made n viiit to the Yellowstone Jnst summer , indignantly protests , in a letter to the ( secretary of war , pgainst these desecrations of the tutional park. Ho charges that under them "claims and conditions will nrlao Jiat may bo hard for the government uid the courts to shako off. " This is without question true. Once in the . lauds of 'jobbers , the character of the it uvt eutueijr uctnu/eu , uu titu squatters e nnot be dUpoueised. Not the least of the dangers connected with this raid is the certain destruction of ltd feature as a great psmo pro servo. The rapid settlement of the country ban driven into the park im mense herds of deer , mountain sheep and which are now , it appears , bcinp exterminated by hunters. It is sta'.cc that within the paat six years as many ai 4,000 elk have boon killed by "skin hunters" in the park , and that during last winter alone as many no 2,000 were olaughtcrcd , besides an immense number of deer and mountain sheep. General Sheridan asks that the park bo extended in nn easterly dircctim about forty miles to as to ndd JJ,314 milo3 to ila area and "to make a preserve servo for the largo game of the west , now so rapidly decreasing. " Ho promisesif slaughtering gtimo for their skin in its limits is prohibited by congrrts to protect thn park by guard of coldiera and guarantee1 ! that this picket duty shall bo effective. The Park should bo preserved as n national pleasure ground , the most unique nnd magnificent In the world. It is n paltry policy which would "rent it out" to privnto par.ioH for the few thou Bandj/Jollars / n year which such loasinp would bring into the national treasury. And the people of the country will not permit the wool to bo pulled over their eyes by n syndicate who floek to monopolies Its advantages to put money into their own pocketn nt the oxponen of the best intercuts ol the public.

Incidentally it might also ba well For congress to onqulro into the bogus land unit of Bill Plntt against the Union Pacific whereby millions upon millions of acres of land were decreed to belong to the railroad because they liad issued a land bond when the road first waa chartered , This jug-handled salt , in which the plaintiff was a rail road agent and the prosecution against the Union Pacific was carried on at their own expense and by ono of tholr own attorneys , was decided by the upromo court on a'one-aldod plea , adversely to the people through the negligence if not through the criminal collusion of Ex-Attorney General Da- rens , who in years gone by hid been of good service to thu Boston end of the Union Pacific.
