People who lay the Hattering JUNCTION to their
souls that the passage of the Electoral Rcsolu-
tons will be an end-all of the matter may
live, some of them at least, to find themselves
sorely mistaken. Such a measure, in its very
nature, can establish no dominating precedent,
but it will be used as an apology for what
ever makcshifts future eXigencies may seem
10 require. 1t is important, therefore, that all
the circumstances attending this action, whether
it be revolutionary or not, should be remcm-
bcrcd, that our successors may be better pre-
pared to debate the problem than we have
proved to he. The most pregnant circum-
stance is that so many gentlemen should have
voted for the resolutions without absolutely
regarding them as constitutional.
Il is safe to say that the action of the Sem
ate would have been reversed If every mem
Der of that body who cOnscientiOusly Ques-
toned the constitutionality of the cxpedient had
voted against it. Again, in the House the
other day, the remarks of Mr.. McDili of Iowa.
not in themselves of any particular Importance
nor remarkable for any unusual ability, may
ho taken as evidence of the willingness Of
many members to do anything which promises
TO meet the difficulty of the day. Mr.. McDill
is strictly orthodox III ms private opinions. AS

'the President of the Senate alone has the
"power to count the votes" "Any attempt"
he said. "to reverse the will of the people
"was unconstitutional, was uSurpation; it was
"a pressing down of the rights OF the people,
"and il proceeded in and carried out it was
"revolutlon.n After this eloquent caveat In
favor of abstract principles, MIR. McDill an
nounced his intention of voting for the measure
proposed by "the concurrent committee of both
"houses." And this Is the gentleman who
thinks and says that the President of the

Il is not impossible that Mr.. David Dudley
Field, who has had such experience in helping
notorious thieves who were willing to DIVIDE
their uIundcr with HIN in advance to keep ont
of the pcAitcntiary, may be importing some OF
the Tweed methods into the National capital. AT
anv rate he certainly has an extraordinary lot
of Witnesses and he handles them as skillfuUy
as the juggler who keeps three dubious eggs
in the air at once. On the other hand, lie has
for the first time in many years the advantage
of hubble sentiment in his favor People
do not trust the Louisiana Returning
Board, and are ready to believe almost any
evil story about it. Nothing has yet been
proved-a border jury would not convict a
Lorsr-thicf on such eyidence-but thoroughly
bad impression has been produced; and II the
members OF the Louisiana Returning Board
have anything to say for themselves they should
say it soon. Nobody believes the stories
against them IS now told. Many people are
willing to consider Gov. Wells a rascal, but
nobody thinks him q fool. What he needs to
do is to make thorough exposure, first OF
the testimony Mr.. Field has paraded against
him. and next of the real course
of the Returning Board in the special election
districts in question, and the reasons for their
action.

The second conference of committees from
the various commercial bodies ana the Ccun-
ell of Political Reform, brings the subject OF
the present condition of the water front OF
this CITY home TO every business man. Tie
report signed by Mr.. Robinsons committee
urces the necessity so often urged before OF
making the streets fronting the rivers OF suill-
ciont width to accommodate railroad tracks
so that cars can be run directly TO ware
housps. The committees recommend an APP
peal for legislative action which shall make
tbe width of the water street ON the Hudson
River 200 feet, except where the bulkhcad IS
already building. and Oh the East River 100
feet. These streets they consider wide enough,
though the Dock Department scheme provides
for even greater width. But the result desired
cannot be reached in reasonable time, they

slow progress, New-YOrk is losing it's trade
These considerations seem forcible enough
buf if must be remembered that the Dock
Department is yet to have hearing.

While the conflict between the Court of Arches

are, however, quite sufficient in themselves to
Justify his decision.

CHNXSWICkH SPELLING.

The school exhibit Of New Jersey at Phila
tielphia was so good that a nigh opinion OF
her educational management was diiiuSed
through tho country. AT a recent meeting,
however, OF certain citizens Of Crosawicks, over
which Mr.. J. Bulby presided, resolutions we're
adopsed demouncing with great grammatical
and ortlograRhical freedom the school system
OF NCw-Jelscy as Mt present administered.
Every one of these resolutions begins with il
"Whcreas, As; every one OF them is intended
to show that The system is OdiOus, unjust, and
oppressive" and one of them particularly
points out how "useless it is to lecture
"to. the children on Algebra when there
50 has not been one III the schools Tor
years" leaving MS in doubt whether the
aching void has been Occasioned by the
lack Of Algebra or the lack of children.
We certainly think that Algebra il a study
which may be wisely postponed, ii the chill
dren aforesaid, like this resolution writer, spell
"salriesn with an &C." equiyO!ent' with IN
co." "supplyed" with "y,'" economy" with
an Sc" and profits" with a Z" double f."
The Cross wicbers we observe, devote sne-
cial "Wherccs, AS" To a denunciatiOn OF the
estate Normal and Model Schools for the
"paHutacturc of teachers "a delicate and
gcntemanly way of stating an objection.
Here is another bit of preamble on the subject,
which, to say the least is curious And
"Whercas AS it would be just rs reasonable
"to educate all kinds of tiadcsmen at public
"cxpense, and if such system should be
" introduced, the producing classes could
"nOt raise money enough to foot the
"JHS.n
The Tax Reformcrs of New Jersey have our
sympathy and our best wishes for their success ;
but if they contemplate change i'll tie State
school system, we trust that the details will
not be committed to the hands of men who
cannot spell, and who are equally incapable of
writing the English language with prOpricty.

The Union League Club has received novel re-
communication about the building of its new club
house. The committee to whom that question was
referred seriously proposes that the club mortgage
all its real and personal property security for one
thousand registered bonds of $4O0 each that these
bonds be sold only at par TO resident members with
the provision that only resident members who arc
holders OF the bonds shall elect officers or standing
committees Of the club, each bondholder being en-
titled to one vote for each bond registered in his
name. The result of course would be to place the
government of the club absolutely III the hands OF
the men who hold these bonds; a. distinguished
member said on having the proposition lead to him.

sake of getting a clubhouse built. Jackson 5.

members Of the club reporting in favor of tins

We suspect that Alderman Tuomey is not
animated solely by zeal for the public service
in his onslaught on Commissioner Campbell
His resolution has personal twang about 1t
that betrays the ward politician, in prett,
mich everything, including his mock horror at
discovering that Mr.. Campbell is not deyoting
every moment of his time to the service OF
Che city. The truth is that MIR. Campbell has
made too good an officer to be popular with
the politicians of whom Tu0mey is the type
He has substituted for the old, extravagant
system of day labor that of contract work,
and he's thus cut Off from the ward workers
fertile source of patronage. His savings dur
ing the last year over the year before are put
down at about one million of dollars, most of
which was doubtless wont to go into the peck
cts of the politicians and their rttaners. III
this has earned him their cordial hatred, and
made him a promising subject for an Alder
mans revenge. Therefore Tuomey and bis
resolution.

Both houses of the Legislature have now
taken steps toward defining the powers and
duties of the two superintendent. Mr.. Baker
reported yesterday in the Assembly the bill
relating to the Superintendent of Public Works.
with an amendment raising the salary OF the
position to the more liberal figure of $1,000,
and it was made special order for next Mon
day evening. This means, it is to be hoped,
it's prompt passage. There ought to be no
further delay in the preliminaries necessary to
filing these places. The officer just named
will need all the time at his disposal before
the opening of pavigation to get his new sys-
TEN in working order, and the superintendent
of State Prisons loses by every days delay the
opportunity of saving no little money to the
State, to say nothing of the added looscness in
prison discipline Which this uncertainty must
breed. Indeed, if the. deficiency is running on
this wear at the rate of last year, the State has
lost already something over $4,000.
