THE PUDSpECT

The Democratic members OF Congress are
entitled to our compliments and cOngratula-
tions--for their conduct, not for their CONVEX
sation. Their position is trying one. They
have had TO fight losing battle in behalf of
a candidate who has lost within the past few
DAYS the respect OF his own supporters and
the last shred Of that character which once
made him personally acceptable even to a
great many of his political opponents They
have been plagued with the tantaizing retlec-
ton that they came within an ace of grasping
a great prize, and that i'll missing 1t by the
merest scratch they have fallen back
to worse position than they have Occu-
pied at any time for five or six years.
They entertain, moreover, strong con-
yicton-mistaken, of course but nevertheless
sincere on the part of many of thcm-tlat
they were deceived IN the appointment Of the
Compromise Commission. Altogether they are
sore and sorry, and we ought not 10 be sur
Drised that they are likewise cross and some
what unreasonable. Hence when they talk
abont breaking up the Joint Convention, with
holding all further cOuntcnancc from the Com
mission of Fifteen, preventing the progress of
the count, making Mr.. Hamilton Fish ere
pay of the army, we are not disposed to quar-
rel with them, however we may regret their
ipdiscretion Something may be pardoned to
the first chagrin of defeat.
For whatever we may think OF the violent
language of the Democrats, there Is little fault
TO be found with their action. They have
voted down or otherwise suppressed every one
of their party who has brought forward Il
revolutionary proposal. They have not only
determined to abstain from what they could
not accomplish (and even that is degree OF
self-denial of which angry men are not always
capable), but ihey have agreed 10 fOrcgo the
temptation to llbustcr Mr.. Ferry into the
Presidency by rrolonging the Joint Convention
fill the Ath Of March, and they have formally
resolved that having agreed 20 accept the
COMPROMISE Commission they are bound
by its rulings. This is botn patriotic
and prudent. 1t is what the Republican party
promised for itself at the beginning of the
contest and it is gratifying to see that when
il comes to the question of an orderly and
dcc0rous submission to the laws of the land,
All Americans, whatever their politics, are sub
stantially Of one mind.
This quiet settlement of difficulty upon
which some of rs looked at one time with
serious apprehension augurs well for the per-
petuity of our Government. 1t shows that
American institutions are founded upon q

DIRECTORS IND NLUSP1PERS

Ii is still the opinion of some hapless friends
or constituencies managers OF Ncw-Jersey Cen
trail that they suffer because newspapers made
"a violent attack" upon the stock These
people, Notwithstanding some instructive ex-
pcricnce, fail to comprehend the duties and
functions OF a newspaper and the limitations
of its power, even as they failed to compIc-
bend the duties, functions, and limitations of
the railway director. 1t is the business of
newspaper TO print news. 1t is the business
of IA railway director to render a truthful and
clear account TO stockholders of the manner in
which their property has been managed If
he fails to render such an account, it becomes
news OF the highest interest incOmparably the
more important to stock and bond holders be-
cause the management las tried To conceal il.
Hence it is the business of IL newspaper, when
ever il can, to place before stockholders the
very facts which the management tries to con-
ccal.
Distortion or concealmcnt of truth. in n re-
port 10 stockholders, is always evidence of
rOttenness. In every case, when the manage
ment begins TO bcfOg stockholders, hiding
some things and lying about others, il is
good time 10 sell ont as soon as possible. In
every such case, also it is the peculiar duty
of newspapers to protect the public against
the medilated fraud. which concealment or
