LANDLORDS AND TENANTS.

We publish below an article from the
New York Sun which has application to
our city, as II has to all cities in the
United States. The reduction in prices
must also roach rents. for the bottom
will not be reached until there is an uni
form reduction in everything.
"The value OF real estate in this CITY
has greatly deprecated, As everybody
knows, within the last two years; The
most eligibly situated stores, houses, and
lots feel the decline fully as much as
those in less desirable localities; perhaps
even more than they. The lots about
the Central Park, which speculation
few years ago ran up TO extravaganza
prices, have fallen of sensibly in salable
value.
along blocks of brown-stone houses in
the upper part of the Island are to be let
at such rents as 81, 900 and $500 year
prices 80 to so per cent less than their
builders expected to.get. Broadway, from
Canal street TO Fourteenth street, presents
pretty continuous line of fronts adorned
with the placard 40 let" Even on the
Fifth Avenue in its most desirable parts,
and in the fashionable regions between
Madison and the Sixth avenues, and
along Madison avenue itself, the
fall of rents is fully one-quarter.
The tenant need no longer supli-
cate. 1t is time when the landlord
must rather adapt his rent to the tenants
means, and take offers instead of impos-
ing terms. 1t is useless to charge the
old prices. Merchants and househoders
cannot afford to pay them even if they
SO agree, and the prudent landlord
knows that it is the part OF wisdom rs
well as the dictate OF necessity to regu-
late his rents in accordance with the ca
pa,ity of tenants to pay. The number
of families vino can safely undertake TO
pay four and five ana six thousand dol
lars year for q house, and OF mer-
chants twenty-five and fifty thousand
dollars year for store, is enor-
mously reduced. For the classes of
houses and stores next below there is
like falling off in the number of respon-
sible tenants ut former prices; though, as
dlWdNs IN Tunes Ol cCOHOulN, Tue Sllll
cheaper houses, those renting for one
thousand and below, do not lack Tor ten
ants. The number OF such dwellings is
greater this spring than for many years
before; and also Of such rs may be had
for 81 500 AID $4,000 II year there is
greater supply than at any time since the
war put up prices.
This decline in the salable and pro-
ductive val ue of real estate is not tenn
porary one; it does not ever indicate
that low-water mark has yet been reach
ed. After the panic Of 1897, close on to
fifteen years passed before the values OF
New York real estate got back to their
old figures. Unless something very ex-
traordinary shall happen, we doubt If
our present experience VIII be far differ
cut. 1t is safe for owners OF real estate
To make their calculations with reference
to long period.during which prices will
not raise above what they are now, and
are likely 10 fall below. Ga the other
hand the outlook for tenants Is encour-
aging.

THE VIRGINIA DEBT.

The Httciiigencey does not think that
the Laramie county case is parallel with
that of Virginia and West Virginia, and
looks upon the rejoicing of 1.-The West
Virginia people in Congress and those
around the city as IT little premature
1t is true that the Constitution of this
State of 1863 did contain provision
art VIII Sec. s. assuming on the part
of the new State an equita lie proportion
of the debt, of the Commonwealth of
Virginia, but there is little history con-
nected with that section. The Consti-
tuition rs at first framed, d d not contain
the section alluded 20, and as u condition
precedent TO admission into the Union.
Congress required West Virginia to in
sert clause assuminga .air proportion of
the State debt. The Constitution was re-
manded To ITS trainers, and what is known
as the WILEY amendment was adopted
This is the provision in the Constitution
of 1868. The Governor of West Vir-
ginia il "b.dienc. tn an at OF the Leg
,siatu Ia 1871, appointed three COM
missioners, Messrs. Bennett JACKSON
and CAMPBELL, who proceeded to Rich
mond to treat with the authorities of the
lii Stuta hut ware racaiyad us NO Z ou,,bt
with An unbecomIng rudenoss by Gov.
WALKER and the Virginia authorities
The Commissioners however, true to
their duty and the interests of their
State, proceeded TO make up q statement
from such data as they had access to
showing balance due from this State to
Virginia of little less than one million
of dollars. The old common wealth how
ever. had always claimed that we were
entitled to pay at least one third of the
debt.
The Constitutional Convention of
1872. after u protracted discussion of this
subject, by very decided vote, resolved
10 leave out of the new Constitution the
provision contained in the old one upon
this subject. ltwas thought at the time
that this amounted to a reputation of
the action OF the first Constitutional Con-
vention, but in what light this action
would be viewed by the Courts we do not
propose 10 discuss, and indeed we doubt
very much whether it will ever receive
judicial decision. There is no disposition
on the part of West Virginia to repudi-
ate any liability that may attach TO US,
as has been plainly shown by the action
of our authorities. But there is another
side to the question.
The State of Virginia has already
funded her debt, and by an arrangement
with her creditors has issued her bonds
for two-thirds OF the debt which now
amounts principal and interest) to sixty

THE Steubenville Ga:ets does the
square thing for Judge Thurman in the
following article:
"While we do not agree with Senator
Thurman upon the financial question,
and consequently have consistently OPP

we are glad to be enabled "a say that in
regard to the integrity of his character
we have never rad the least doubt, and
We are satisfied to trust his honesty and
probity ~ fully rs that of any man OF
whom we know. He has recently been
charged with some ii graceful action IN

wrong in the transaction, he, not Thur
man, is the guilty party"

Down Brakes.

The Border Waterman is responsible
tor the following characteristic anecdote
of one Of our West Virginia Senators:
Thurman sports red bandana hand
kerchief and blows the loudest nose in
America. 1t is said that on one occasion
Senator Davis, of West Va, who early
in lite, had been brakeman on rail-
road, dropped asleep at his desk. Sena,
tor Thurman solemnly waved his red
bandana and gave his nose n terrific
snort. The sleeping Senator sprang to
his feet, and Selling his desk commenced
twisting it with all his might. He after
wards explained that he thought Thur
mans blow was an engine whistiing
.down brakes and the red bandans
handkerchief signal of distress, hence
his wrenching of the desk.
Ne accept the anecdote as both char.
acteristlc and illustrative. The habit OF
watchfully guarding against danger, ae.
CURED ON the railroad, has been carried
into the Senate chamber. Asleep OF
awake he answers to the red signal, and
is ready to clap on brakes. Let him b,
known as the Senatorial brakeman.

Governor Growers Defense.

SAN Francisco. December 19.-Gov-
ernor Grover has just published long
and elsboratcly prepared statement OF
his pretended official action regarding
the recent electoral muddle. The state
men. is designed by him as an executive
decision, and is studied defense Of his
official conduct. After discussing at
great length the legal features OF the
case and citing numerous authorities in
support of his position, the Governor
concludes his statement as follows:
Believing this to be the inevitable
logic deducible from the law and facts
in the premises, l conclude that Watts
is not entitled to the certificate Of on
elector because the constitution Of the
United Safes declares that he shall moi
be appointed, and that Cronin is entitled
to the certificate as one Of the electors
he being an eligible candidate and hay
ing the highest number of votes cast fol
that office next after the election Of vii
liam H OdcA and John G Cartwright
whose elections are. not contested. ANY
other conclusion would disfranchize thu
State of Oregon as to one e,third of9he'
representation in the College OF Elec
tors. To my mind it is aelear position
The injunction of the Constitution o
the United States on the subject of elec
tors should be- enforced, and thinl
that In maintaining it in this particula
will result as above declared.
