mate personal relations with the Erie Ring
managers, but his constituents ase opposed to
the Gould-Lane combination. Will he throw

of the Erie Ring against the rights of the

The PAPAL CONsIsToRY AND MISSION
URBI EFT ORBIs.-Pope Plus TX. has called o
Consistory of the Roman Catholic Church, to
be held in the Vatican, for the nomination of
bishops, on the 10th inst. 1t is probable that
an appointment to the Archiepiscopal and
Prmatial American See Of Baltimore. will be
submitted to the members of the Sacred Col
lege, with other matter of great import to the
Christian world. There are very large-an
unusual--number of scarlet hats at the dis
posal of the Pontif, as will be seen by the
historical facts which we append to our news
telegram from Rome. Germany, the United
States, Great Britain, Asia, Africa and Aus
tralasia will, it is said, receive hierarchical
honor and missionary attention, and the ques-
ton of public education be treated at much
length in an Encyclical.

Wall Street Sensntlon-The Erie Ring
Again.
Wall street has O new episode-not one of
the Artemus Ward kind, but good sensation
in every way for the ha6itues of that locality.
The subject Is Hannibal and st. Joseph-not
the Carthaginian and the Jud@an, but the
stock of railroad running between two West
ern towns thus curiously, heathenishly and
religiously designated and connected-a
speculative "fancy" which has been the ''deep
damnation" of many o Spectator the last
year or two and the real cause of the failure
of the Bowling Green Savings, and, possibly,
one or two others of the banks which col
lapsed little while ago. Last Monday the
man who bought of this stock believed he was
buying q portion Of q capital of four mil
lions only. But on Tuesday the an
nouncement was made that the long
closed transfer books, which had been
removed to this city from Boston after the last
election had turned over the road to New
York management, were open again, and that
the common share capital was nine millions.
No announcement had been made beforehand.
The wishes of the stockholders had not been
consulted in the slightest particular. There
had not been the usual vote to ratify or reject
an increase of capital stock.
1t is an Erie case all over again. Indeed
the parties in it are many of them the identi-
cal brokers who bought and sold Erie shares
for James Fisk, Jr., and the old Erie Ring
TLo r1o late ~to
ten in the same Offices by the same clerks,
and with, possibly, the same ink and pens.
But this time the Stock Exchange has been
too vigilant The laws of that body now re-
quire thirty days preliminary notice Of any
intended issue of new stock, and also full
registration of the share capital with some
reputable" banker or trust company, apart
from the transfer Offices of the cor
poration. As soon as this attempt
at an overissue of Hannibal and st. Joseph
became known the Governors of the Stock
Exchange put the law into force and ruled the
new stock mot good delivery technical
way of saying that it cannot be bought and
sold at the board and cannot be marketed.
So fades the glory of the Ring day by day.
The bold spirit who was called to his last
account the other day at the Grand Central
would have managed this matter great deal
better. Indeed, it remains to be seen whether
his survivors have not entrapped themselves
in difficulty which may turn to their utter
pecuniary destruction, for in expectation Of
the easy use of the new stock or overissues
they sold nearly the entire capital stock to
Wall street and are now bound to make good
their contract in the old certificates. The
Stock Exchange and the public seem to have
the remnant of the Ring at their mercy this
time for once.

SENATOR NARROWER, Of Steuben, may vote
against the repeal of the Erie Classification
act, but he may live to regret that he did not

upon charges against Terwilliger, its clerk,
Privileges and Elections, in the Kilian-Frear
case; Commerce and Navigation, as to- the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company.
Under the constitution, therefore, as well
as by precedent, we think the future course OF
the Judiciary Committee is clearly marked.
But, aside from either, upon the broad prin-
ciples Of right and justice, we feel bound
to raise note of warning against secret in
quests and one-sided Investigation. Indict-
ment by Grand Jury brings no punishment
until after trial and conviction. In the case
of Judges portion Of the penalty falls before
either. So let the doors be thrown wide open |;
let all be heard; permit, we say, the daily
proceedings to be laid before the people, in
whose interests and by whose representatives
the steps are taken, so that hereafter, when
perhaps too late, nothing may be found to
have been done or permitted belittling the
judicial office, unjust to the respondents or
derogatory to the dignity of the State.
SENATOR GEORGE BOWEN, of Genesee, Is
compelled to bear the unenviable reputation
of having been member of the Senate that
passed the Erie classification law. He now
has an opportunity to atone for that act by
voting for its repeal. 1t is limited in Albany
by the Erie lobby that no member of the last
Senate dare vote for Senator O'Brien's bill.
The course of Senator Bowen will therefore be
watched with peculiar interest.

American aloe. But political confidence
which might be better expressed as political
mendicancy-has little weight with the people
of the United States. The men who pay taxes
and earn their own livelihood have way of
voting as they please and of enforcing their
will, in the long run, even upon the big and
little endians, and ofgiving us Presidents like
Washington and Jefferson and Jackson and
| Lincoln and Grant,
If this were time for comedies we might
laugh with the rest at the antics of these small
men. But, alas we suffer for wise legisla-
| ton. Here in New York we are like ship
without mast or rudder In mid-ocean. We
have no charter, no sailing master, no crew.
We are told that vile men sit upon the Bench
that Justice has become leering wanton
that Vice sits under the ermine; yet nothing
is done to make good these fearful charges.
That justice which, as Richelieu says, Is for
all time temple and all seasons summer,
is slandered, and no one has championed
her or punished those who have done her
wrong. The American name has been injured
abroad SO irretrievably that we have lost more
in money alone than we would gain by the
payment of any English indemnity, solely by
the existence Of this monstrous Erie Ring. Its
history Is too familiar and too shameless to be
repeated now. But no American has trodden
a foreign shore without being compelled to
blush at the crimes of Erie and yet it reigns
unchallenged, unmolested-powerful to buy
and sell, build up and strike down. The
masters of Erie are still the masters of
New York, and instead of resolute, prompt
assault upon the strongholds Of this
gigantic power, we hear of combinations by
which Mr.. Gould and bis associates are to buy
immunity by abandoning the democracy and
supporting the republicans; and that there
are republicans who look gleefully at the
prospect of such an alliance. However true
this NAV be-and we accent it as true--nd

be furnished so that if the Judiciary Com
mittee enact the role of grand inquest, giving
no hearing to the accused, the severe judg-
ment of suspension is passed upon er parte
testimony and, may be, prejudced and unre-
liable statement This is foreign both to strict
justice and enlightened equity, partaking too
much of the Star Chamber and the Inquisition.
Let us turn for moment to the considera-
ton of precedent, both remote and proximate.
William Blount, United States Senator from
Tennessee, was expelled before trial, but SUBJ
sequent to the order for impeachment, in 1899 !;
Judge Chase, Justice of the Supreme Court Of
the United States, was impeached in 1905,
after public investigation of the charges,
lasting two months, by committee of the
House of Representatives; Judge Peck, in
1881, upon presentment by a like committee,
similar Investigation; also Judge Addison, of
Pennsylvania, and Judge Hubbell, of Wiscon-
sin, of which latter cases we have not the
records at hand; Judge Busted, of Ala
bama, after inquiry by a committee Of the
House, before whom the respondent appeared
by counsel, cross-examining the witnesses
and presenting evidence in his own behalf
In this State the trial of George w. Smith,
Judge of Oneida county, was founded upon
the action of the Governor Of the State, under
the provisions of section eleven, only to be
taken against other than Judges Of the Court
of Appeals and Supreme Court and Justices
of the Peace, and Judges and Justices of in
ferior Courts not Of record. The action of
similar committees of the present Legis-
lature seemingly settles the question.
The Committee on Insurance, now inves-
tigating charges against Superintendent
Miller, State official, sitting In this city,
with open doors, the respondent represented
the Committee of Ways and Means, upon
charges against the Capitol Commissioners
on Public Printing, as to Weed, Parsons d
Go. the special committee Of the Senate.

LATEST TELEcRAMS.

Gold is quoted in New York at 1l3(g
1887; bonds, 1li1491159ass; Greenbacks,
81 buying, SO selling.
The New York Times says that the
Government will place $1O,OOO,OOO gold
on the market to accommodate those
needing coin This will be likely to let
greenbacks up little.
A dispatch dated Chicago, October Z.
saws: Washington specials state that
the interest in the elections tomorrow Is
SO great that business is nearly at
standstill. Advices from the headquar-
tiers of both political parties in Philidel-
phia show that both are equally confi-
dent of victory in Pennsylvania. The
Republican Congressional candidate here
claims majority of $4,000 for Hartranft
in Philadelphia, and from 5000 to 5000
in the State outside of the city. Senator
Cameron claims IL, 900 majority for Hart
ranft in the entire State. A New York
special says Pools sold Saturday on the
October elections, Republicans giving
odds on Pennsylvania, and 10, 600 major
ity in Ohio. Betting on the result in In
diana is very quiet. The interest in
these elections is great among politicians,
but there is little betting and marked
absence of excitement among the people
generally, who are too busy to devote
their time to politics. Workmen are en-
gagged day and night on the Chamber OF
Commerce in order to have it ready for
| occupancy and formal opening on the
10Th inst. The anniversary of the open
ing will be very quiet, no banquetins or
| yestivities as are usual on such occasions.

THE KUKLUX ACT.

Throughout the South there are many
Democrats who object to General Grant
because he enforced the Kuklux act. This
about the only objection they have to
him. They believe Grant has been honest
and economical, and that he has conduct
ed affairs aa we'll as any of his predeces
sors. But he enforced the Kuklux act,
and for that reason they oppose him. The
impression prevails throughout many sec.
lions of the South, especially in those
states where the organization did not ex,
lst, that the Kuklux Khan never existed
as charged, and that the arrests made and
the punishments which followed were I'M
called-for and unjust. We do not pro-
pose to argue this question. The testi-
mony Of General Forrest that there was
such an organization, that for long time
ne was at lis head, and that it numbered
about $4,000, ought to convince any fair
minded man, South or North, that such
an order did erjSt. The confessions of
thousandsswho belonged to the order, who
described its workings and it's designs,
and who bore testimony to many of it's
outrages, are of themselves convincing
proof that the Khan was an actual reaZity.
Add to this the testimony of the victims
themselves, men, women, and children,
WHO had. been scourged, robbed. or driven
| from home, and we have case made up,
whichgno. court of justice could overlook,
and which fully justified the action of the
Government in extending it's strong arm
for the protection Of its citizens. IF South
ern men had been as cruelty treated in
Massachusetts as they have been in their
own States, and had failed O receive pro-
lection from that State, they would have
applauded the General Government for
interfering in their behalf.
~. Of the existence of the Kuklux there
cannot be a shadow of doubt. The mi
nority report of the committee appointed
byiCongress to investigate the alleged
outrages in the South admit the existence
Of the organization, and only differ with
the majority in the causes which. led to
its formation.
No one will accuse the Hon. Reverdy
Johnson withholding friend of General
Grant,or friendly to the Republican party
or its measures. He was chosen nv th.
friends of the Kuklux arrested to defend
them on their trial. HisRgreat ability a:
a lawyer and his eloquence as an advocate
together with his well-knews sympathy
for the South, made him the chosen cham.
pion to defend the Kuklux from the pun
ishment they.deserved. No one will doubt
the honesty and sagacity of Mr.. johnson
