Saturday relative to tho alleged bribery In the
disposal Of The city printing seemH 10 have
heon rather remarkable for what tho witnesses
did not than what they did tell. TAYIoE and
EDWARDS, Of tho Post and Mai2, and PoMEnoY,
tho "rcd-hot" Democrat, scarcely gayo SO
much information to tho Grand Jury as they
impaired to tho reporters. It ia not very
surprising to loarn from them, however, TINT
th6 mon who approached them woro not
Aldermen nor city officials. It is not tho
practice Of Aldermen or city officials to bid
for bribes directly and personally. They do
this sort Of thing by proxy. It III certain that
there is d certain class Of hangors-on about
tho City-Hall, nmong whom wcrs two or
thrco Of the persons NAMED to tho GRIND
Jury, who profess to DO nblo to control Alder
manio votes, and who 60 around, whenever
schome presents itself, with list Of Aldez-
men whom they can s'iniluence in favor Of
tho proposed job. It is not unlikely that
many OF those aolf.constituted lobbyists net
without any authority whatevor, and that
others mako uso of namos without warrant
Which they could in no sense control. At
tho samo time thoro ig roason to beliavo that
whoro there is SO much smoke there is also
some fire. 1t is folly to presume that these
so-callcd Council agents would devote their
tfmo 60 assiduoualy to tho manipulation Of
votes (and many Of them hnvo no other visi-
ble means Of Bupport) It tloro wero not
votes which they aro ablo to control in m
emergency. 1t is certain that theso proffora
Of assistance in pushing jobs through tho
Council are never made without exncting q
specific suul as qaM pro quo. It Ia known
that certain measures have beon passed. chiefly
in tho interests Of private persons in prefer
enca to othor bids which wcro favorable 10
tho public interests. Tho depravity OF hu.
man nature in general md that Of Chicago
!Aldormon in particular leaves little room to
doubt thas money considerations secure
tho allotment Of fayors, aud that tho
agents do not spend their time nor
give nwny their Aldermanic votcs for noth-
ing. This certainty, along with the evidence
already taken, ahould prompt the Grand
Jury to follow up tho caso with moro vigor
md discretion than seems to hava boon exer-
cisel ut their last soGsion. pEnloI.AT, Gard
NER, and KENNEpy woro mentioned as tho
mon who offered TAy1on and PomEnox to got
their jobs through tho Council for certain
stated sums. Tho Grand Jury should next
subject these mon and othor known agents Of
tho Allernanic Ring to close questioning.

PROTECTION IN CANADA.

recent tlHGu66lon IN tho CanRllhn t0r1a-
mont shows that there II q very formidable
movement in Tho Dominion to SO revise their
revenue tariff laws as to apply tho theory Of
"protection to Canalian manufactures
Regarding this movement from purely SELF
ish American point Of view, ono is inclined
to wish TINT tho Protectionists Of Cannda will
carry their scheme through It will be
largely in tho interest Of the United States
Government to have such system Of high.
tariff duties adopted in CanRln rs will plnce
tho two countries on an equal footing in this
respect. As it is now, Cannda has tho de-
cided advantage. The Canadian products OF
tho firm and forest have the samo foreign
market rs tho products of tho United States.
Tho Canadian farmers md producers got aa
good prices abroad as tho farmorH Of New
York, New England, Pennsylvania, md
Ohio, and better prices than the farmers of
Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, md Minnesota,
because tho latter are further removed
from tho European markots and AaTo to
sacrifice moro in tho way Of transportation.
ut the same time, the Canadians mrs able to
purchase oil their manufactured goods at from
