4 CASE FOR HEARING BOTW SIDES.

1t is Mr. H. Il. Claflin who il indicted, and
Mr.. George Bliss, IT., sometimes known as De-
Gov Bliss. who engineers the indictment. In
til the evidence is produced. this statement will
be sufficient. to induce all reputable New
Workers tn suspend their judgment. Mr.. Olaf
lin may have been implicated in deliberate
scheme to dciraud the revenue, and it this be
so. we trust he will receive ample punishment.
But Mr. George Bliss, jr., has been implicated, as
we all know in deliberate and successful
effort to deiraud honest merchants like Messrs
Phelps, Dodge & Co. We have never heard
Mr.. Clailin's character called i'll question, aud
we have never heard of any intelligent person
who thought there could be much question rs to
what the character Of Mr. George Bliss, jr., L.
Yet Mr. Bliss may DO as right in this case as
he has been wrong heretofore, and if he is we
wish him good luck.
Meantime it is noticeable that Mr.. Claflin,
in the brief card which we print from his house
this morning, talks as an innocent merchant
under such circumstances always ought to talk
If former victims of bad laws and iniquitOus Oili
Gals had met Matchmaking schemes in a similar
spirit, they would have saved themselves large
sums of money and served the cause of their
fellow merchants as well as themselves. The
case of Messrs. Cafin g. Co. differs materially
from most of those in which reputable New
York merchants have of late years been i'll
volved. They have generally been charged
with dcfraudng the revenue by intentional UNI
dcrvaluations or like devices This is charge,
substantially, OF purchasing struggled goods in
the open market, knowing them to be Snug
ged. In such a case it would seem that, if the
Government were able to seize the purchaser,
it might better have begun some time earlier
by Selling the open and notorious seller.

TAVyfdNY FTFTY-SIX YEARS AGO.

On the 18th of October 1919, the Tammany
Society issued an address to their friends
which closed with the following resolutions
Resored That AS friends to country we recommend
TO our brethren OF different Societies OF Tammahy OF
Columbian Order the necessity, well as moral duty, 10
our country ourselves and TO pOstcrity OF refrahs
from every species OF useless extravaganza In our houo
OF living, especially in furniture, dress the taoie'

Resoired That we dscountenance the Importation and
Use i'm our families every species OK foreign mahurao
trc or production which may be reasonably SUD-
stuted by the fabricks productions OF the United
States.
Resolred. That economy il wealth. We seriously
recommend to our brethren throughout tho United Sa'es
strict and rigid observance Of this great moral duty In
their families and social intercourse.
This is not precisely the sort of advice which
the organs of Tammany now give to the pub
lie. But TammaDy, as we think we have
sometimes seen it mentioned in the public
prints, has not been engaged in q course OF
steady and continuous improvement through
all tho years since 1919.

ANOTHER pleasant RENINISfENCE.

ANOTHER PHEASANT KEHINf>f ENt r.
About tour years ago somebody propo sed
that the grateful citizens of NcwYork should
erect monument to Boss Tweed. Books
were opened and in few days sub
scriptions were received to the amount
of about $4,000. "Supply- men" and pro-
fesSional politicians figured extensively on
the list of contributors. The more disrepu-
table political clubs came up to the scratch,
not perhaps with the enthusiasm which might
have been expected, but upon the whole pretty
well and there were many obscure one and
two dollar subscribers, whose character and
motives we are left to conjecture. Among the
crowd of Mr.. Twccd's admirers there were
some persons. however, not unknown to fame
Mr.. Richard OGOrman put his name down for
1000, and Alderman Edward j. Shandlcy
for the same amount; while the f. j.
Shandley Association of the Seventh
Ward raised $G22 additional. and the
Aldcrmans brother, Michael j. Shandley,
gave So. Among the other contributors of
large amounts were Thomas b. Asten, now
one of the Assessors of this city, 800; VIII
liam Miles, $3.50 Bernard Smith, $500; Will
liam j. 1hrall, $3.50; Florence, the actor,
$500; Judge James c. Spencer, $500; Ed
ward Binse of YOnkcrs, $500; Vincent C..
King 800; Francis IL. Doanc, 800 Charles
Green, 500; Edward ID. Bassford, 500; X.
II. Whcatley, 800; Capt. Thomas II. Ferris
500, and the Thomas II. Ferris Association
of the Thirteenth Ward $147 additional j.
O'Conncll Lynch of The Irish Ampican, 500 !;
Major ID. p. Conyngham of The Sunday Dem
oc,at, $50; Richard O'Grady, $50; James
Donahue, $50; Joseph Lyons, $50; Capt
James +. Boyle, $50; Harvey II. France
$50, and Capt. William lIcnnessy, $25. The
subscription was strongly promoted by Mr.
Charles A. Dana, the editor of The Sun, and
it is not unlikely that New-YOrk might have
been disgraced by the erection in some public
place of a monument to common thief had
not the great explosion occurred just in time
and blown the Tammany Ring to pieces.
The best of us make mistakes sometimes
about the character of public men, but there
never was any mistake about Tweed. His dis
honesty was notorious when this proposal for
monument was made, and it had been noto-
rious for several years before. Nobody pre-
tended to believe that no had ever rendered
any service t. tho public His own political
associates had made great efforts to shake him
OIL because his coarse rascalties brought Odium
upon the whole party. Whatever may DO said
Of some of the poor and ignorant men who

CHANGES IN TIE DATE or ELECTIONS

CHANGES IN THE DATE or ELECTIONS.
By alterations and amendments of their Con-
stitutions the several States are gradually
coming to agree upon November, and usually
the first week in November, as the time for
holding elections. Under her new Constitu-
ton Pennsylvania holds her annual election in
November instead of October, as heretofore.
BY an amendment to the Constitution just
adopted by the Legislature of Connecticut,
which will undoubtedly be ratified by the peo-
pie in October, that State changes her annual
election from April to November. These
changes have significance beyond their
present merely local effect. The change in
Pennsylvania from October to November de-
prives that State of the undue influence which
it has exercised, at least once in four years, in

The sound of the mourning for the dead of
the Schiller has not died away, and the les
sons of that disaster are not well learned, when
there comes to us the news of another fear
full calamity on the sea. The Schiller
fell upon the rocks in blindy drifting
through a fog in the English Channel.
The Vicksburg met her fate nearer home.
fighting her way among the fields of ice OIL
the American coast. On the Schiller there
were $50 persons, of whom only 43 were
saved. OF 50 men, passengers and crew, on
the Nicksburg, it is feared that more
than 40 were lost, while only five
have yet been brought TO land. The stories Of
the survivors who reached this city yesterday
are thrilling in interest. The Nicksburg is
steamship of the Liverpool and Mississippi
Line, plying between Quebec and Liverpool
When the disaster occurred she was 100
miles from Newfoundland, on an out
ward bound passage The peril from
ice hOes seems TO have been underestimate
but testimony is borne by the surviving sea
men to the skill, GOODNESS, and courage of the
Captain and other officers. The whole truth
cannot be known until other adyices are re-
ceived, and it is only Just to await the re-
ports of passengers as well as seamcn before
JronOuncing Judgment upon the immediate
and remote causes of the disaster.

The spirit of independent voters was siglIiii-
cantly manifested yesterday i'll the proceedings
of the Liberal Republican State Committee al
Albany. The business actually done was the
adoption of resolution providing for the call
of State Convention To meet not later than
August /, for the nomination of q State ticket !:
but the most interesting feature Of the session
was the debate on a substitute for this rcsOlu-
ton, declaring the policy of the party, in view
of the present political situation, and look
ing to conference with the Democratic
State Committee for the purpose OF uniting
all the elements of opposition to the
Republican organization. There was free
expression of opinion, by which it was very
clearly shown that while the members OF the
Committee were disposed to enter into any
proper cooperation with a view to political
reform, they were not disposed 10 go blind
fold into an alliance with any party. This Is
another reminder to both Democrats and Re
publicans that while the men who hold the
balance of power have an eye on what is going
on in Washington, they are alive not less to
the political blunders perpetrated i'll New
Hampshire and Missouri.

1t is not surprising that Gov. Cheney of
New Hampshire, who has at last secured the
Office to which he was chosen should he strongly
impressed with the propriety of an inquiry as
to the means of protecting by legislation the
purity of elections. In his inaugural address
delivered yesterday attention is called to some
defects of the New-lIampshire election
law which were pointed out recently by a
correspondent of THE TRIBUNE, and recon-
mendations are made which appear thoughtful
and timely. The law ought to be laid down
so plainly that the occurrences of the last ten
days at Concord may not by any chance be
repeated.

Ground was broken yesterday, and not much
more than broken, by the Assembly Committee
for the investigation of crime i'll this city.
The Committee has wide field and great
opportunity for usefulness before it, but to
satisfy the hopes of the public the work must
be done in no peIfunctory manner. The open
ing address of Mr. John ID. Townsend gave a
fair idea of what is to be done, and if the
Committee realize the full meaning of his
words important results may be expected from
the investigation. Mr.. Matsclfs statement
however, was not very prolific in information
OF practical suggestion.

statement of the financial condition of the

the public to hesitation il accepting it as the

Burning of a South American City.

The Panama Star and Herald gives
full details of the recent great fire in
Iquique, Peru, the news of which has
been received by telegraph. The fire
broke out at . o'clock in the morning,
and before noon three-fourths of Iquique
had vanished in smoke. Twenty-four
blocks of houses, stores. banks, etc,
were consumed. Merchant vessels III
the harbor sent their crews ashore, and
all civilians, foreign residents, sailors,
the police, and the authorities struggled
to subdue the flames, but III vain. Iqui-
que was built almost entirely of wood.
The sidewalks were of the same material.
The ground is impregnated with nitrode,
and water is a luxury, and the salt water
falling on the earth only served to kindle
the fire hidden by the saltpetre. The
fire swept like hurricane over the city.
Houses fell like pastebcard palaces. The
damage done was immense. Five mil
lions in hard dollars will not cover it,
and in Iquique no insurance could be
obtained, from the very nature of the
ground and the material employed for
building purposes. The principal edi-
fees burned are the branch Of the Ma
tional Bank, the Town House, the Tqui-
que and Commercial Hotels, the house
occupied by the Pacific Steamship Navi-
CATION Company, the market place and
the favorite club house of the city.
Many families are homeless. The Presi-
dent of Peru has ordered the authorities
to use 5000 sales for their relief. In
Lima the different nationalities contrib
uted liberally. Many merchants had
taken advantage of the reduced tariff and
dispatched large amounts of merchan-
disc, nearly all of which is now destroyed,
and how the merchants find themselves
absolutely tankru {, their liabilities, ow-
ing to the disaster being infinitely in ex-
cess of their assets. Their warehouses,
in which large quantities of nitrate were
stored, close to- the sea, were saved, but
large quantities of coal, a costly article
in Iquique, were burned.
