4 NON-POLITIC8L PARTY.

SO there Is to be, nay is, another party. 1t
is already organized, and, if to have officers
and issue printed pamphlet is getting under
way, it may be said to be fairly under way.
1t is organized in kind of reverse order,
running downward from Head Center or
Chief instead of upward from the people
through successively delegated powers; sort
of political Propaganda. The Hon. John Pool
of North Carolina seems TO be at the top of
it, with a red clay pipe and long stem. He has
been more fully described in our Washington
correspondence. His official title is Chair
man of the National Executive Committee.
The National Executive Committee appoints
State Executive Committees, which appoint
County Committees, which appoint working
officers, who organize the people into what is
called "The United Workingmen of America"
Its object is Labor Reform. The Hon John
Pool, having just served term in the United
States Senate, has now abundant leisure TO
secure justice to the workingman. He is not
by any means alone. There are more people
in this country ready and anxious to live IN
Washington and smoke IA red clay pipe
with "A long stem and secure justice
to the workingman than the workingmen
have any idea of. OF course, they cannot all
do it, for so far as we know there is only one
pipe. But it illustrates the beauty and sim
plicity of our institutions, and is calculated to
impress profoundly the bloated bondholder and
the gorged and infatuated capitalist when
statesmen like the Hon. John Pool take right
hold of this business as soon as they get out
of Office and throw their giant intellects upon
securing justice for the workingmen
1t is gratifying to know that this organiza-
ton is not political in its character except in
the mere matter of voting and electing people
to Office which to minds like the Hon. John
Pools is matter hardly worth mentioning.
The association has no platform yet, and has
not fully decided what its distinctive princi-
pies are to be, but Mr.. Pool is very confident
that il will be the means of securing justice
for the workingman. The Hon. James G'
Blaine il u member of the National Executive
Committee. This fact alone is sufficient as !
New-York tribune., 1873-05-03

surance that it win not be poliH-
cal organization except 80 far as il
may be necessary 10 elect somebody
to Office TO secure justice 10 the worknqmap
1t is understood that Mr.. Blaine is candi-
date for tho Presidency but that is entirely
outside OF his connection with this association.
ms association, as we have before observed.
Is not political, except 80 far as Is necessary
IN order to secure justice TO the wOrkingman.
and what Mr. Blaine is pursuing now more than
anything else il justice for the workingman.
1t VIII be observed by our correspondence
letter that the movement is not confined TO
those who labor with their hands. but extends
to all persons who work with brain or hand.
The United Workingmen is a party and yet
not party. 1t promises to settle great many
questions and establish great many reforms.
There have been very serious discussions Of this
question OF the relations Of capital and labor
heretofore; but now that Mr.. Pool and Mr.
Blaine have taken it entirely out Of the field
of politics, and Mr. Pool is sitting down in
front of it with a red clay pipe, rumnatinV
over it without cessation or intermlssion. wa
may feel sure that something will be done very
| shortly, and justice be secured to the working
man. The beauty of the whole thing is that
| it is MT going to be mixed up with politics.
The names Of the men on the Committee are a
| guaranty of that.

4BOTT OFFICES.

The journalists and public men who stood
by Mayor Havemeyer while the politicians
who now crouch at his feet were yelplng at
his heels, can do one more service In aid OF
good city government. Mr.. Havemeyer was
not our first choice for the place to which he
has been elected; but he is good man, and
we are disposed to give him cordial support
so far as he seems to deserve it, When the
place hunters fell upon him because he would
not be a party TO any corrupt bargain for the
distribution of the spoils the friends of an
honest and efficient municipal administration
came to his aid, without distinction of poll
ties, and insisted that he should be allowed
to carry out his pledges of reform. We nave
won a substantial, if not complete victory ;
and we do not purpose to stultify ourselves
by throwing embarrassments in the Mayors
way.
The great principle for which we have con-
tended in this controversy is that the Mayor
should be absolutely free to fill the chief city
offices; that no partisan considerations should
control him; that no politicians have any
"claimsr which ought to be recognized; that
the best men for the respective municipal
positions should be appointed, without regard
TO their opinions on National politics that
his one duty is to consult the interests of the
city, not the supposed advantage of either
Republican or Democratic organizations and
finally that he should be held accountable for
the proper discharge Of his trust and for the
good government he now has the power to
give us. Neither those who nominated him,
nor those who voted for him, nor those who
sustained him i'll the struggle at Albany, have
any business now to camOr for place or favor.
For our part we want this experiment Of
municipal responsibility to be fairly tried, and
we shall do nothing to interfere with its
working.
The hungry people, therefore, who are COM
ING TO us for recommendations are hereby
informed that we have none to make. We
urge nobody for any place in the Mayors gift,
sign no mans "papers," write letters for no
applicant Any one who calls himself The
TRIBuNE's candidate is an impOstOr The only
wish we have in connection with the municipal
offices is--frst, that the Mayor shall fill them
with competent and honest citizens, the very
abest men whom he can induce to take them;
and secondly, that he shall fill them entirely
according TO his own judgment He will be
held to rigid accountability for the character
of his appointments and he ought to have full
swing in making them.

ABTNDANT FISH,

How we shall Escape National Calamity
would be a fairly descriptive title Of the
Report of the U. S. Fish Commission, con-
cerning our Southern Fisheries. There was q
general belief that the supply of fish upon our
Atlantic coast had been for some years dimin-
ishing; but the extent and causes of the de-
crease have never before been made subjects
of thorough investigation. The causes &C.
cording to this Report may be summed
up in word or twO-Man's rapacity
and ingenuity. The official who made
the investigation was everywhere as
sured that steamboats, frightened or sewage
poisoned the fish. But what everybody be-
lieves is not necessarily true. Traps and nets
were found in sufficient abundance to account
for all the decrease. Indeed there Is one
ingenious contrivance--a "tsh-sllde that
sweeps everything in the shape of a fish into
its screens so that in the running season
two men constantly employed cannot take OIL
the fish as fast as they are caught. Its pro-
prietOr is grieving, however, over a con-
stantly diminishing catch.
Just in time TO save our coasts from the
consequence of this reckless inprudence, comes
the science of fish culture. We do not yet
begin to realize how enormous is the increase
in our resources which this is destined 10
create 1t will not only restore the lost pros.
perity, but enlarge the yield of our rivers ana
lakes to an amount beyond he fishermans
widest dreams. In the lecture of Prof. Agas-
siz which we publish to-day, this subject Is
incidentally dwelt upon. No nan Is better
fitted to give an opinion than me-
The prospect which he holds out is that
an industry Will be created comparable
only with those labors which have covered the
prairies with waving grain and bullt up ha-
ton west of the Aleghanies. Prof AgassH
repeats the expression of his faith that the
coming man will eat fish, bling in need OF
much phosphorus for brainwork. 1t Is en-
couraging TO know, also, that he Will nave
great variety as well as abundance, and can
if he is particular about his phospbates' cult
vate not only shad, shrimp, and salmon ou'
crabs. Holsters. sea-urchin, and palataoie
dainties of infnitesmal siz and poiySyhao0
names.

BEGG1RS.

One of our reporters details this morning
curious conversation with the President of the
Union Pacific Railroad on the subject of free
passes The road of which Mr.. Horace +.
Clark is the head is by no means the only one
in the country which has lost hundreds of
" thousands OF dollars" by the opportunities
of official mcndicants; but ii has the distinc-
tiOn of being the first TO attempt "a reform in
what has grown to he IA very serious abuse,
and the course of its struggle with the beg
gars and blackmailcrs will be watched with
great curiosity. We are shamed, but not sur
priscd, to find the President of the United
States leading the rabble of Spongers, and
travelling about the country ut the cost
of the railroads. Mr.. Clark is cOnsiderate
enough not to say that the President
asked for free pass; but it is
notorious what Gen. Grants practice has al
ways been with respect to such courtesies,n
and there is not railroad man in the coun-
try who does not understand what is ex-
pcctcd of him when the chief magistrate and
his suite of attendants go abroad to take
their pleasure. If the President does it, why
should the Cabinet he mOdestl We know of
one Cabinet officer whose clerk wrote letter
marked "Onicial Business" under the depart

Clark or some other officer of the road that

posed making trip to California. and if the
road wished to pass them free the necessary
documents might be- incosed to the clerks

who has applied for passes not once,

a Judge OF Federal Court who recently
asked for season pass and we presume
from Mr.. elarks guarded statements that it
is no uncommon thing for judges to sue for
the bounty of the road whose affairs may at
any time come before their courts. AS for

are the most persistent and mblushing of

In the correspondence from the Sandwich
Islands which we print to-day are two views
of the political questions which agltate the
little kingdom of Hawaii. One writer takes
an optimist's view of the situation, and con-
cludes that annexation is not specially just
now rampant issue. Another, whose wish
may prompt his thought, is less hopeful as to
a peaceful disposition of the people. Possibly
both may be right, without serious contradic-
ton.

OUR DISGRACE IN JAPAN.

Once more, in spite of the clamorous denial
of the party organs, it is reported from Wash
ington that Minister DE Long is to be recalled
from Japan. Thematter has been treated with
such characteristic vacillaton and disingenu-
business that we shall know what the Admins
tration intends after it is done. 1t is
- mortifying, though not altogether
an incredible, idea that an envoy
whose misdeeds are so clearly understood and
acknowledged by the State Department should
have been allowed the chance of retaining the
Office he has abused solely 10 reconcile the claims
of rival parties in Western State but, in case
the Government decides still to recognize such
a necessity, it is better that the public should
know at what cost of national dignity the
sacrifice is made. We shall therefore briefly
restate a few of the most important reasons why
the long retention of Mr.. De Long has been a
disgrace to this country and an insult to Japan.
In doing this we pass over everything
which might possibly be set down AZ error Of

A curious debate came up in the British
Parliament, last night, the San Juan Boundary
question furnishing the pretext for an attack
on the Government. The opposition sought
to reopen the case, which has been settled by
the arbitration of the Emperor of Germany.
1t was urged that the Rosario Strait was the
only natural channel, and was known as such
long after the AshburtoD treaty was con-
cluded, and that it was the true line by which
the boundary should have been adjusted.
This discussion seems superfluous, and mere
waste of time. But it gave the Conservatives
