SENArOR COMING.

Mr.. Roscoe Conkling, it is reported does not
contemplate a warfare upon the Administration.
Some things he cannot very warmly support
other things lie dislikes. Bat lie does not feel
that ii is his part to begin an attack upon
newly-elected Republican President which, II
successful, could only divide the Republican
party and put an end to its existence. Such
are current reports If they are not true they
ought to be- Widely as THE Tribune has dIi-
fered from Mr.. Conking, il finds him alto
gether too large a man to throw away his own
future and that of his party in warfare when
would palpably have only narrow ana
selfish purpose. Mr.. COnkling is convinced
that the Republican party IS the only
one to which the welfare of the country
can safely be intrusted. We credit MIN
with q desire not to destroy that party.
But he Is also shrewd politician. WIN al
the patronage of President Grant to support
him. he was not able to secure, in the attitude
of a champion of Grants Administration, as
large share of Republican support as hrs
Blaine. not identified with that Administration
had secured. and il will quickly occur to INN
that. if by his assistance the Republican party
should be alienated from its Administration,
he would only have helped to create and
strengthen an element OF which the Senator
from Maine would readily secure the leader-
ship and support
We give Mr.. Conl,lne credit for strong
and answering attachment to the cause OF
public honor and sound currency. In that
respect, he must approve the course OF the
present Administration, as he helped to turn
the last Administration from an opposite course.
He is a Senator from the State in which the
chief commercial city in the Union Is located
and knows how greatly the prosperity OF this
CITY and OF the State depends upon the peace
ful adjustment of all difficulties at the South.
No other community. outside of the States i'm
medlately affected, can be so largely benefited
hv the complete success of the Presidents pol
lev toward the South as this commercial and
manufacturing city, and nowhere else, perhaps,
is there n stronger or more hearty approval OF
that policy among men of business, intell-
pence and influence. 1t is not easy to suppose
that Mr.. Conklmg will throw away what hold
he has upon the confidence and regard OF such
men in this powerful community, and for the
sake of following in the footsteps OF others.
1t is probably safe to say that he does not
regard with unqualified approval the steps
thus far taken in the matter of Civil Service
reform But there are others who are hearty
supporters of the Administration, and who yet
look upon its course in that matter as SAVIOR
ing rather of the doctriRdire than of the states
man. and Mr.. COnklng, if he holds these
oniuions. will not find himself alone in them
among those who insist that the Republican
party should give to its President generous
support and a fair opportunity.

TILE TOLCE OF THE DEAD.

IL may be that no utterance which the great
French statesman made during his life was OF
such moment to the nation he loved, and the
people whose political needs he so clearly
recognized. MS the few words he has now
spoken to them from his grave The mani
festo found among his papers and published
in Paris yesterday, cannot add to the strength
of the popular dependence on his wisdom and
,,atriotism. but it will give renewed courage
to the Republicans of France, in the trial
which still awaits them. There IS no obscure
or uncertain word in this posthumous address
of Thiers's. A pronounced Monarchlst during
the greater portion of his life, he at last de-
clares that Monarchy is no longer possible
to France In terms apparently as keen and
unflinchng as those of Gambetta, he describes
the existing situation as intolcrable." asserts
the sovereignty of the Republic and its power
to rebuke the OutIages committed by the Mac
MahOn Government, demands freedom OF cleo
tons aud of the press, and CLOSES with a ring
ing ralying cry for the struggle: "Sover-
"eignty of the Republic, Law, Liberty, ana
"Peacem
In declaring that it will be usurpatOn to re-
sist the power of the majority, Theirs says no
more than Gambetta said, in presenting sub
mission or resignation IA the two alternatives
left for the Government VIII the journals
which print this manifesto be also indicted
and placed upon trlall The old patriot is be-
vond the reach of MacNIahon's Obsequious
prosecutors but his voice is informed with the
soemnity Of legacy. and the sanctity OF
dying confession of political faith. 1t Will be
carried far and wide on every highway ard
byway of France. Neither existing laws nor
despotc disregard of right, can keep 1t from
the ears and conscences of the millions OF
French Republicans 1t will even be Gam
betta's most powerful advocate, in his new ap-
neal. 1t sets the stamp OF the highest intelec-
tual authority upon the policy of the party,
and makes its firm support the gravest duty
of every member. It's touch will benumb and
shliyel up the insincere, contradictory phrases
of MacMahons specOus proclamation. There
is now no necessity for further argument:
Look on this picture, and on that! Let the
Republicans of France stand firm, and be led
by him who, being dead, yet speaketh, and
they are sure of IA victory which even the
blindest arrogance will not dare to impugn.

THE RECENT FAILURES md FRAUDS.

Failures and frauds chase each other across
the stage. On Friday, one of the oldest sugar
houses fell On Saturday, Philadelphia stood
oohast Mt the gigantic fraud of Mr.. Morton.
Yesterday, the Fidelity Savings Bank of Chi
caco closed its doors. Providence is merciful
" severe. 1t does not let this people escape
from trial while fraud and rottenness remain
70 swallow up the earnings of patient toll The
shock is not pleasant, but it is better that 1t
comes now than after a vast structure OF credit
had been reared upon unsOund foundations.
Only through his own forgetfulness, it was
discovered that Mr.. John 5. Morton had for
eight years been emptying fraudulent certifi-
Gates of stock upon an oyer-trustlng publlc.
The crime is his, but the fault is partly that
of a community which trusts eminent citizens
TO manage the affairs of corporations without
the slightest scrutiny. This crime peculiarly
illustrates the American method of corporate
management-that method which has taught
officials to treat an inquiring public as
an impairment meddler, and encouraged
some to keep a Grand Jury for the in
dictment of persons guilty of attempting
to make known unwelcome facts. 1t does
not appear that directors or stockholders
of the West Philadelphia Railroad Company
had ever made the slightest effort to verify
the reports of their officers. Mr.. Morton was
an eminent citizen; the stock paid 20 per
cent dividends and was quoted at 175, and
whether the dividends were paid with borrowed
money no one seems to have asked. Had any
inquisitive person endeavored to find out, for
the protection of the public, probably he would
have been snubbed or insulted by officials,
roundly abused by well-meaning journals, and
looked upon as an enemy of mankind. or at
least, of Philadelphia. "To spy into the af-

value, how many dead hopes are buried In
these crowded cases how much suffering,
privation and disappointment were wasted in
the production of useless combinations OF
wood and iron, which are slowly dropping to
pieces in the obscurty Of the model room.
But the Patent Office, nevertheless, is a cheerful
and exbilarating place, for it shows us In
the brightest light the evidences of our ma
tlonal wealth and strength, the promise OF our
continued prosperity, and some of tho most
honorable traits of our national character. 1t
teaches that there is nothing within the power
of man that we cannot do, and no condition
of civilized life to which we cannot instantly
adapt ourselves.
