The world will be moved to mirth If it reads
the manifesto of the National Democratic Ex-
ecutive Committee dsowning the Democratic
paternity of the pamphlet. Concession, or
How the Lost Cause May be Regained and
the Independence of the South Secured"
Nobody supposed that the National Democratic
Committee had authorized the issue of the
pamphlet; but it is Democratic in tone and
temper for all that, and it speaks the honest
sentiments, no doubt, of thousands Of South
en Democrats, who viii, in defiance of re-
peated winks and mods of disapproval from
the Democratic Managers, persist In talking
about the possibilities of the Lost Cause at
the most unseemly times. But the suggestion
that the Radicals have concocted this precious
farrago of nonsense and treason for election
eering purposes, is quite as ludcrous as the
vaunt that the Democracy is the only party
that can "bring about return to honesty and
constitutional laws" This last phrase is ex-
qusite fooling.

We are not Over-sanguine as to the favora-
BILE result of any legal proceedings to restrain
the men of the Ring from further fraudulent
application of the public funds, but it is at
least encouraging to know that such steps are
to be taken this morning at II o'clock. The
nature of the suit to be instituted in the
Supreme Court Chambers is not positively and
fully known but it seems that an injunction
will be applied for to prevent further misap-
plication of the money of the people This
will doubtless prove the beginning of long
and bitter litigation, of peculiarly doubtful
issue, considering the character of the New
York Courts but it is step which appears
absolutely necessary to take at some time.

FINANCIAL REFORM OF TIE CITY AND
COUNTY OF NEW YORK


The Executive Committee appointed at the
great reform meeting on Monday night met
and organized yesterday, and named two sub
committees to prosecute at once the duties
with which they are specially charged. Private
information leads us to believe that the COM
mittee is resolved to act with promptness and
vigor and that few days will show whether
there is any chance Of applying to official
swindlers the same legal remedies which we
can use in tlfe case of private rascals. The
satisfaction with which we note the energetic
and practical spirit of the committee springs not
merely from the hope that this action may lead
to the overthrow of the clique which has
made municipal government in this city
Synonymous with wholesale robbery, but from
O belief that such result is to be brought
about not by the agency of any political fac
ton, but by the excitement of a healthy public
sentiment All shades of politica, opinion
were fully represented at the Cooper In
stitute meeting. Straight Republicans and
honest Tammany Democrats, men of no
party and followers of the Young
Democracy, united in the protest against
fraud, and have their share in the coming
battle for its overthrow. This agreement
gives us renewed confidence in the substan-
tial soundness of the popular conscience, and
redoubled hope for the future. 1t would
hardly be worth while to turn out one Ring
if another was to take its place and 1t will
do us very little good to prosecute Tweed,
Hall, and Connolly if we are not prepared to
sweep away the abuses by which such men as
Tweed, Hail. and Connolly have hitherto been
kept in power.
By the most appropriate of accidents it hap
pened on Monday night that the one speaker
who went right to the foundation of our mis-
cries, and showed US most clearly where the
work of reformation ought to be applied, was
a Tammany Democrat, gentleman who, by
the favor of Mr.. Tweed, had been elected to
Congress in one of the Ring districts, but who,
being a gentleman, was incapable of per-
forming ali the dirty work which
Tammany expects of the recipients of
its bounty. Mr.. Roosevelts description of
Tammany election frauds was the dearest we
ever heard. and would have been infinitely
amusing II it had not been 80 sadly suggestive.
Money ia, after ali" said he, "a trivial af-
fair. They have stolen from US something
dearer and more sacred than our wealth;
these our masters have stolen our ballots. -.
Until we get back the suffrage, any minor re-
form will be only temporary and inconclusiye.

The arrogant course of the British House of
Lords in virtually rejecting the Ballot bill
has been the pretext of popular demOnstra-
tions of discomfort, although the action of the
House upon the Army bill and in censuring
the Government for recourse to the Royal
Warrant for abolishing Purchase was, in
itself, amply sufficient to cause such dissatis-
faction. We give to-day reports of two meet
ings-at Birmingham and at Leeds-the avOwed
purpose of which was to procure radical
reorganization of the House. If these meetings
do not directly result in change of the con-
stitution of that body, they may still oblige it
to change its attitude Of stubborn hostility to
the popular will, and. at the next session of
Parliament, to accept a situation in opposing
which it would endanger its own integrity.
Meantime the Liberals propose a system of
educating" not merely a party, but all
parties-the Government, the Opposition, and
the Parliament--which may be presumed to
include in an especial manner the House of
Lords,

stronger.

We are gradually getting at the bottom OF
the New-Orleans military outrage. The re-
monstrants against the high-handed proceed
ings of Marshal Packard and Collector Casey
have made their formal complaints to the
President and have received the assurance
that he never authorized the employment of
United States troops for the purposes for
which they were used by bis superserviceable
appointees at New-Orleans. Gen. Reynolds,
it seems, is responsible for the detail
of the troops, though ignorant Of the
precise character of the emergency existing
We rejoice that the often-expressed disbelief
of THE TRIBUNE in Gen. Grants being in
any way a party to this disgraceful business
has been justified by all the facts. And now
that the responsibility can be fixed upon
civilian officials at New-Orleans, without any
difficulty, we shall expect their removal forth
with.

People who read The Herald exclusively and
tabitually Gf there are any such people,, must
have been amazed when they took up yester-
days paper, and found that something had
been going wrong about the Tammany ac-
counts. Heretofore that journal has entirely
ignored the popular Outcry against the ras-
cality Of Tweed, Connolly, and Hall, and the
explosion at the Cooper Institute was difficult
to account for without much fuller data than
it had thought fit to furnish. Possibly the dis
trcssing experience of Monday night may have
suggested to the gentlemen in charge of that
wonderful paper that it is an excellent plan
for newspaper to print the news-not only
on extraordinary occasions but habitually.

The Prussian Crosse Gazette informs US that
Italy took no part in the conferences at Cas-
tein, and that the Kaisers have resolved to
leave the Roman Question exclusively to the
Italian Government. But on the other hand
we are told from Paris that Mr.. Theirs has
used sharp language toward the Chevalier
Nigra concerning the part which Italy took in
that conference. Mr.. Theirs distinguished
himself on several occasions during the reign
of the late Emperor by depicting in vivid and
eloquent speeches the folly of the Imperial
policy in building up the Kingdom of Italy,
which he said must necessarily be in the fu-
ture thorn in the side of France. The fact
that he loses his temper at seeing his own
prophecies verified shows that his patriotism
is greater than his vanity.

QUIRRELSOME SAINTS.

EltDer tAe United states officials in u tan
are annoyingly pragmatic, on the Mormons are
quarrelsome and heady withal. 1t was only
lately that the Acting Governor of the Terri
cory of Utah had bout with the local authori-
ties az to the right Of the Mormons to order
ont and parade their own militia on the Fourth
of July. The Mormons were, probably,
wrong in legal sense, but they had con-
siderable sympathy from honest people
who regretted that the celebration of INDIE
pendence Day should be marred with I'M
seemly wranglings and thought the good intent
a much greater sin than that which they had
committed. But :" the mailed hand" beat In
the conflict, and the Mormons gave up their
parade without bloodshed, or special resistance
to the myrmidons of the GENTLE oppressor.
Now, however, we have more serious griev-
ance with the Mormon authorities, who have
been wrong headed enough to claim and carry
of one Of our prisoners-that Is to say, one OF
the prisoners of the Republic of the United
States. Heretofore the government OF the
penitentiaries of Utah has been in the hands
of the local OF Mormon officers, but
an act Of Congress, passed last Winter,
places all these institutions under the d1rec-
ton of the United States Marshal. The Nor
mons paid no attention to the law until the
Marshal came after the penitentiary, where
upon they abandoned that building, taking
with them tho furniture, the portables, and
especially q solitary prisoner who was In
duress for manslaughter. This criminal in
stantly became bone of contention. He was
coveted alike by GENTLE and by Saint, but
the nine points of -possessiOn-remained
with the Saints who locked the man-slayer In
their own particular and sacred Jail. and babe
defiance to the United States Marshal.
That functionary appears not to have had
great concern about the benches, handouts,
and gallows which had been feloniously made
off with; but the prisoner was the special
charge of the Republic, and for him he went.
The MormOns had equal affection for the con-
vict who was I" in for fifteen years." and they
defended their Jail with q guard of Danites
and Levites, amounting in all to two hundred
men. This was rebellion; and, in view of the
determined resistance of the rebels, one of the
United States Justices issued q warrant for
the arrest of the ringleaders Accordingly,
the Marshal, this time reinforced with posse,
made new descent Oh the guard of the jail
and brought of, not only the. much-desired
convict but the Mormon Marshal and
Warden, which officials were severally held to
bail in one thousand dollars each for resisting
United States officers and c0ncealing pris-
oner. This latter subject of dispute dlsap-
pears in the melee which attended the sharing
of the nobler game-the Marshal and the
Warden. 1t is clear that if anybody bearing
authority from the General Government wants
discussion " in Salt Lake City he can get
it without much trouble. 1t is not so clear
that the Mormons understand that the United
States Government is paramount power in
Utah.

The manufacturing centers of various Euro
pean States are disturbed by strikes, all of
which, 50 far as we can learn, are prompted
by dissatisfaction of the operatives with the
hours of labor. At least, this is the apparent
excuse, but the probability is that the strikers
are not so much bent on reducing the hours
of labor as increasing the rate of wages. Or,
they ask that they be required to work fewer
hours but at present rate of pay, which is
the same old proposition in another guise of
language. 1t is marvellous that mechanics and
labOring men are the only class of the en-
ployed who have the courage and effrOntery
to make these demands. They are the only
persons, 30 far as we know, who assume to
regulate their own wages aud those of others
in their own calling.

We observe rather a peculiar order in an English
case. In Milne W Milne the wife, against whom a
decree of divorce was granted, was made to pay to
her husband yearly the sum of f5OO for the educa-
ton and support Of the children Of the marriage.
This shows that while women are continually claim
ing rights" which they aver are wrongfully with
held from them, there also responsibilities from
which the dissolution Of the marriage tie will not
free them. Though the children are just as much
the mothers as the fathers it is the latter who has
been forced to support them, however rich the
woman might be. Mem have acquiesced In this, but
suppose that they should betake themselves to
theoretical grumbling.
