The CONSTITUTIONAL CAIARRH REMEDY is the hrst
article placed before the public that proposed to

the root Of the whole difficulty, and thousands upou

etors setting forth the marvellous cures and what
remarkable curing not only the Caarrh but All other
ailments at the same time. This u what 1t always

philosophy, of science, of chronology, OF logic,
they disappear, il tho eyes of the skeptical are
to be credited. Yet it is a perfectly literal
fact that this very morning greater number
of believers in the whole scheme OF Chris
tanity walk the earth or kneel upon It, haunt
its temples and cling to its affairs, repeat us
creeds and sing its doxologies, than ever be-
fore since the first fast in the desert.
We sometimes say that the day of miracles
has passed yet this very perpetuity OF Chris
tanty, its constant growth, its superiority
over science, its dominion over all social ar
rangements, its steady influence upon our
methods of thought, its perpetual presence
which will not down at the bidding OF any
charmer, charm he never so wisely-what Is all
this but greater miracle than most which are
recorded in the sacred narrativef Accord
ing to all worldly rules, the Church should
long ago have utterly disappeared from
the face of the earth, destroyed, III
in no other way, at least by the errors and
infidelities of it's children. But of all
human powers, whether of light or OF dark
ness, it is the perpetual and immortal mistress
Statesmen must heed it; mOralists must rec0g-
nizc it; philanthropists, must invoke its aid and
follow it as the only infallible guide; and we
who are setting forth these facts to-day have
learned nothing graver from our experience OF
public affairs than it's Importance secuiarly
considered. We are offering no Lenten ser
mon the pulpits will furnish that; we are SIM
DIV speaking of that divine institution which
we find in every land where it exists in its
purity, the sIrest promoter of human happiness,
of social order, and of rational liberty.
The season is a mOnitress alike OF possible
failure and of bouDdless success. 1t asserts,
but it also pleads for human infirmity. 1t
symbolizes the struggle which is the sole con-
ditiOn of true and ultimate repOse. 1t is quite
possible that it may be OStentatiously, care
lessy or supersttiOusy observed. But all
outward forms of religious observance are
naked to the same objection. To those who
recognize their spiritual significance, only their
true value is revealed but who shall estimate
the accidental help, the temporary succOr, the
awakening influences which they may bring
even to the careless participant or to the mere
Journalist? 1t would be easy to dismiss their
consideration with sneer but contempt is
usually unwise, and sometimes it may be
shameful land, the President of which, in
the hour of its emergency, invited its people
to humiliation, fasting, and prayer, should not
be utterly ignorant OF the significance of
Lent.

CORPOR4II TON ACCOUNTS.

The managers of commercial and financial
corporations have got into habit of stating
their accounts in manner which they would
not consider honest in their private business.
There is no dispute that stockholders are en-
titled to know the whole truth about the
liabilities, resources, and operations of the
companies in which they are owners At the
same time there is unfortunately no dispute
that they do not know the whole truth, and
cannot find it out from the officers who are
sworn to tell it them. The annual reports
Of American railway companies and similar
concerns are earning bad name as marvels
of ingenious cOncealment and perycrslOn. IN
doubleday the directors arc sometimes exposed
to great temptation. When bad policy, un-
dertaken perhaps in good faith, has had dis
astrOus result it is so easy to conceal the
truth and tide over the difficulty by issuing
bonds or robbing the repair fund, that men
who have no idea of being dishonest consent
to cook their accounts III the hope that luck
or better times may ultimately set things right.
But the usual consequence Is sudden col
lapse and widespread ruin.
The delinquency of directors has imposed
new duty upon the journalist. For great
metropolitan newspaper nowadays cannot be
content with printing official reports it must
investigate their truth. To protect stock
holders against their own trustees is a thank
less task involving the usual consequences to
those who interfere in family affairs. Dis
closures are followed by indignant general
denials, liberal abuse, and the imputatOn Of
bad motives. Railroad Presidents assume that
they have sufficiently. answered charge of
classifying their reports when they denounce it
as a stock jobbing operation and stoclhod
ers too often resent sound advice as an unpar-
donable attempt to undermine values and shake
pub!ic confidence. Nevertheless the news
paDers are doing no more than their duty
when they submit the published accounts of
corporations to the test of analysis by experts,
and print the facts which directors have
laboriousy concealed. The course of events
is fast proving the newspapers to be i'll the
right and shareholders as well as the outside
ublic will sooner or later acknowledge u
debt of gratitude for exposures which many
of those who ought to profit by them are now
inclined to resent.
We need hardly remind our readers of what
the course of The TRIBUNE has been toward
rotten corporations. Most of the great col
lapses of the past three or four years have
been predicted in our columns (; and in no case,
We believe, has this paper made any charges

A RAILWAY STRIRE.
Lent.

The public is an extremely interested party
when locomotive engineers strike, and espe-
cially when trains are abandoned with their
Journey but half completed. We can imagine
no description of strike which is so likely as
this to lead everybody to discussion of the
mooted matter of wages and of the relations
between capital and labor, the employer and
the employed Generally these fierce differ
ences hardly affect the comfort of the commu-
nifty at all. There may be a slight rise in the
current value of commodity we may pay
something more for shoes, an advance per yard
upon cotton CLOTH but all our inconvenience is
as nothing compared with the trouble of the
manufacturers and the wants of the strikers.
The engineers of the Boston and Maine Rail
way struck on Monday last. At 7 o'clock on
the evening of that day two thousand persons
were at the depot i'm Boston awaiting trans
pOrtatiOn to homes where anxious wives and
cooling dinners awaited them. The company
made the best shift which it could, CONSOLE
dated local and suspended freight trains, and
speedily got things into tolerable working order
again, though the irritation, trouble, and en-
barrassment for the time being must have been
very great.
Ii is a popularity of these wages cOmplica-
tons, whatever may be their individual
character that somebody is invariably injured
without fault of his own. Sometimes it is
the employer who is really making no money,
and would be glad to advance wages if ne
could see any way of paying them; sometimes
it is the strikers who are forced to join the
movement by their fellOw-workers much
against both will and judgment; and some
times it is the families of the strikers who,
without knowing anything of the merits OF the
case, find the house supplies cruelty cut on
and for the first time perhaps In their lives
know what it is to be at once hungry and
without food.
The magnitude Of railway travel is such
that the general stopping of trains on any
road is a calamity which cannot for a moment
be acquiesced in. By hook or by crook the
trains must be run. If the striking operatives
hold out, the company must either supply their
places or accede to their demands. The whole
affair usually ends in a compromise, which
might lust rs well have been effected before
as after the trouble. The arrangement is sure
to come at last but it is greatly IN
convenienced public which bears the brunt OF
misunderstanding for which it is not in the
least responsible.

MIR. FIELD At HIS BEST.

In the discussion in the House on Monday
over the decision of the Electoral Commission
in the Florida case, Mr.. David Dudley Field
seems to have been pretty nearly, if not quite,
at his best. 1t is an open question whether
Mr.. Field is more impressive in the higher
sweep of his Oratory, when, borne to great
nights of passion by the audacious refusal of
some cOntumaciOus witness to tell something
he does MT know, he sweeps along upon the
torrent of his own invective, carrying all before
him, or in the more pathetic strain in which
he sometimes INDUCES when appealing to the
motive of justice, the sentiment OF patriotism,
or the love of truth. 1t is difficult to decide
in which line he is more effective, though it is
perhaps safe to say that in either of them the
flights of his eoquence are surpassed in
brllIancy by nothing except the occasional
fiji ghts of his clients. In the limited time
allotted to Mr.. Field for Congressional service,
he has given us illustrations of his ability in
various directions. 1t cannot be said that he
has not made the most of his brief engage
ment. Almost from the moment he struck the
floor of the House he has fully occupied the
public eye. His puency and frequency have
been the theme of constant remark. In pres
ence of his gifts the older members have fallen
back in abashed silence, and even the most vOlu-
bic of them have hardly vcntured to interrupt the
pOnderous revolutions of the windmill of his
oratory, though they knew his pipes reached
no water and his pump sucked sand.
The country has already admired the noble
picture of himself as projected upon the can
vas of history in the earlier stages of the
present great debate The world will little
care nor long remember how this Presidential
question is settled; it can never forget that
during its tendency David Dudley Field sat
up all one. night in night-shirt and slippers

1t must crafty the Republican Commissioners to
learn from Democratic Representatives that they
are "obedicnt to no mandates but those of party"
that they "have forfeited the respect of mankind"
and that their late decision is an Outrageous
wrong and ian insolent mockery." 1t is conceiva-
BILE that at future stage of the trial some Republi
can member of the Tribunal should consider 1t his
duty to decide in accordance with the wishes of
these gentlemen who are now defamng him. In
such an event he will be comforted by rejecting
that he has enabled these gentlemen to chucke over
their imaginary success in new line of ntimida-
ton. OF course such moral monsters as Hoar and
Bradley can be inspired by no motive more lofty
than fear and the valiant Democracy would boast
that they had terrified the Commissioners by their
threaenings and driven them into the semblance of
virtue

good progress yesterday with the excelentbill
to correct abuses in the Coroners' office. when
the suggestion was made that there should be
delay to give the refOrmers" hearing. This
was enough. Senator WoOdin at once warned
the Senate of the necessity of passing the bill
before "the reformers" arrived, and that body
promptly put it on its third reading. This is
disrespectful, but only to those 'wordy people
who are always airing municipal theories at
the expense of the facts. There have been too
many of that kind at the front of late.

Gen. Smith, President of the Police Commits
sion, makes brief statement elsewhere OF the
saving to be effected in the pay of police
men by the bill pending at Albany, which
ought to secure the prompt enactment of at
least that feature in it. The reduction pro-
posed is rigid enough to save half million
dollars, and yet not so severe as to put any
member of the force on inadequate pay. The
truth is that the salaries of policemen are ex-
travagantly high. When many men of educa-
ton are implOring through the newspapers,
employment on any terms, and many clerks are
paid salaries of just about the size of their
weekly board bills and are glad enough to get
them, it is simply piece of amazing folly to
90 on paying over 1000 street patrolmen
81 200 year each. The fact that this great
city cannot stop this waste of money without
an appeal to the Legislature, and may not sue
coed in its attempt after all, is one of the
most fOrcble Illustrations we have seen lately
of its helpless condition. But the Charter
Commission is coming to our relief next week,
and then we shall look forward to the time
when we can do what we will with our police
men, without asking the consent OF the mem
Der from Herkimer.
