TIE UICE-PRESIDENT And HIS P-iRTT

TIE UICE-PRESIDENT IND HIS P-lRII.
Vicc-Presidcnt Wilson is too old and too
Sagacious a public man not to know that IN
large politics franhrcss is the best policy. His
interview yesterday with TRIBUNE re-.
porter WAS Candor itself. lie opens his
heart to the country, so that every
voter can read his inmost thought. lie
does not think well of the present situation
Of the party whereof he was founder and
ba, long been leader. He di>lilleS the IAN
guago of the Presidents Third Term letter, but
thinks il honest, and urges that, at any rate,
it should be honestly accepted by the party as
Il finaliiy. 1t il not in the chapter OF acci-
dents, he declares, that either Gen. Grant, or
any other man, can now, or within the
coming century, be elected for third
term. On one point only he is not
quite c:plicit-hc does not name his
own favorite candidate for the Presidency.
He claims, ard very wisely. that the present
business of the leaders ought to be to get
Their party into better position, and 10y that
better position he says le means such one
that Tnr TRIBt NJ would be compelled to sup
poit it.
For the rest the Vice-Prosidcnt speaks cor

has been travelling. scouts at the idea, which
alalmists last Winter were urging, that the
people were still rebciouS, believes that the
condition of the negroes is improving, and hopes
for the speedy return of material prosperity.
Altogether his talk is CHEEKY rs 10 The South,
anxious ne to politics.
Vice-Piosilont Wilson is ono of the very
few leaders who remain to us from the old
Anti slavery fight. Seward, Chase, Sumner,
Greeley. and Hale, arc gone. Most of them
before their death found themselves in exile,
a. are about all that remain to-day, with the
exception Of the Nicc-Pre.; dcnt himself. 1t liz
not surprising that he feels littlo lonely, AID
that, knowing the worth of Trumbull and
Schurz, and their associates, he heartily wishes
the party were fit and able TO get them back.
His talk will probably increase the bitterness
with which the Third Terners are already pur-
suing him; but it VIII not diminish the high
respect in which he is held by the great mass
of his oOriiiymrn.

There is no conceivable reason why the city
should not conduct business like private in
dvidual,-paying for unskillcd labor only what
that labor is fairly worth in the open market.
The clamor against the effort of city authorities
to this end is pure demagogism. The wages
paid by the city are paid out of the people
pockets. No thinking voter, who pays or cx-
poets even to pay any taxes, will object to the
citys getting its work done Oh rs good terms
as private individuals.

There has been SO much occasion recently to
censure officers of ocean steamers for not avert

now 10 have very different duty to perform.
The fire which broke ont on the Crescent City,
bound for Havana, only needed want of
discipline such as was displayed on the Schiller
to make it o terrible catastrophe. 1t was the
calmness OF the captain, the courage of the
chief engineer. and the promptncSs of the crew
to obey orders, which saved the passengers
from cruel fate.

The verdict of the Coroners jury III the
case of the victims of the church
burning at Holyoke seems to lay the
burden of the blame upon the construct
ors of the building and this is doubtless
where il belongs. Ii!l'c good will be accom-
plishcd if the investigation ends with this
frding. We fear the verdict upon similar
disaster in this city only a few months ago,
is already slipping frMn the memory OF the
public and The courts.
