The Prostitution of Trade.

We trust that when this Presidential qucs-
ton Is settled, business will start up again.
We do not forcsee q decision which will be
consistent with justice and in accordance
with truth, but one reached through parti-
san feeling, which is as strong in the Eloc-
toral Commission as it is in Congress, or was
in the country during the late political cam
paign.
The eight Republicans are likely to con-
tinuo to vote together, and the seven Demo-
Gratis to be in n solid minority. Such way
Of settling disputed election may subservc
the interests of politicians, but 1t cannot sat
isfy truth or change the opinion of the ma
jority OF the people. They will hold that
the President elected by them has been
chouscd out OF his Office by frauds, sus-
tanned though they may be, as to legal
forms, by tribunal unauthorized by the
Constitution, and one in which tho Rcpub-
lican party, in behalf OF which the frauds
were perpctrated, has got what 1t failed to
get in the country; that is, more votes than
the Democrats.
When this Commission let's in HAYES,
probably many people will experience a
feeling of relief, but there will remain in the
country II great and deep sense Of dlssatis-
faction for men hate injustice and rebel in
their hearts against the success Of fraud.
Ii Is we'll that this is so, for nation that
submits to wrong without protest, and bears
outrage without anger and the determina-
ton to remedy the evils, is IN the way OF It's
decline.
But the people hope that however the
trouble may be decided BUSINESS will Jump
up. 1t is high lime for it TO do so. The con-
dition Of trade and industry is very bad.
Tho retail dealers in Now York are doing
comparatively little, and the feeling among
them is one of dependency and discourage
mcnt. Many Of them find II hard TO pay
their expenses. Their rent Is in arrears,
and they see among their customers a
degree Of enforced economy which indicates
how widespread Is the calamitous effect Of
the prostration of trade due to the conspir-
acy of the state Returning Boards, and
not likely to be relieved by the action Of this
National Returning Board.

Now the Electoral Commission has Louis
lana in its hands. The House yesterday re-
jectcd the decision in the Florida case; but
as II had been confirmed by the Senate on
Saturday, the electoral votes OF Florida
were counted for HAYES in joint convcn-
tion. The certificates Of the States that
follow Florida were then proceeded with,
md Georgia Illinois, Indiana Iowa. Kansas,
and Kentucky were disposed Of without OBJ
lection. The objection which 1t had been
understood would be made TO CHAFFEE,
ms an clcctor from Illinois, on the
ground Of incligibility, was not offered.
Next In order after the States named came
Louisiana, and, objections being offered to
both the certificates presented from that
State, the joint convention took recess for
tie purpose Of ob, ,cilnS tho decision OF the
Electoral Commission upon them. That
body will meet this forenoon, and the OBJ
jcctors will enter upon their arguments be-
fore IL.

Reduction of the Army.

The Committee on Appropriations II the
House Of Representatives propose reduc-
ton of 1908 men in the regular army, or, In
other words, that the whole force shall con
sist Of 1900 instead Of $4,000, as at present
organized. This retrenchment falls far be-
low the public expectation, and by no means
redecms either the promises made by the
Democrats when the present Congress was
chosen, or those in their platform for the
Presidency.
This Is ono Of the branches Of the public
service in which the largest reform Is prac-
tlcable with the least strain. There Is no
necessity whatever for an army Of more
than 10000 men, and the budget Of economy
which Mr.. RANDALL made up at the opening
of this Congress in December, 1873, conton.-
plated maximum oil 1000, and reduction
lu the expense Of ten or twelve millions a
year.
The outbreak of the Sioux and the loss Of
frsrh'ud his small band, occurred oppor-
tnu'ly Tor IN" idyocatos Of n largo standing

In and out Of Congress, by which great

No business for the state.

Mr.. SMITH OF Syracuse has introduced
into the Assembly bill providing that the
state of New York shall go into the publica-
ton Of school books, and that no books shall
bc used in the schools save those published
10y the state.
Mr.. SMITHS scheme Ia fully elaborated.
Five commissioners are 10 be- appointed by
the Governor "tcho shall be educators aud
authors" who are TO be- paid ten dollars a
day, besides clerk hire, and 80 forth.
That such plan could be seriously
brought forward shows that there Is one
book very much needed in the State, and
that Is an elementary work on political
economy.
The publication Of school books is not n
business for the State to enter upon. The
result would almost inevitably hc that the
schools would be supplied with inferior
books at higher cost, and the whole bust
ness would run ut once into the muddy
channel Of party politics. housing poll
ticians would find their way into every open
ing created by the bill. Extravaganza, cor
ruption, and fraud would follow in its wake.
The school-book business is better in pri-
vatc hands.
Let the State keep ont OF everything In
which i supreme necessity does not require
that il should engage.

Nor was this all. Tho ice on the pond which

From time Ia time one or more of them would

miracle that some Of them were not drowned.

The Result Cannot Affect the Principle.


The Result Cannot Affect the Principle.
1t makes no difference which Of the two
candidates for the office Of President the
Electoral Commission may count in. That
Of course can have no bearing upon the
question OF its constitutionality. Lord
BACON took brides and decided rightly; but
the righteousness OF his decisions did not
acquit him Of the crime Of bribery. This
Commission may do just what ought to be
done In arriving at final determination Of
the result OF the election; but jurisdiction
cannot be derived from the correctness Of
decision.
Nor do we condemn any one Judge any
more than the whole five for consenting to
act on this Commission. Our view OF the
matter is that the powers vested in Con-
gress cannot be delegated by Congress, in
whole or in part, to any or all OF the Judges,
and that every Judge Of the Supreme Court
who has assumed the performance Of func-
lions which belong TO the two Houses Of
Congress, has shown such disregard OF
constitutional obligations "a argues, con-
cluslyely, his unatncss for the bench.
1t matters not that the Judges were in
vlted to this violation OF the Constitution by
the two Houses Of Congress themselves. \
man who assists another TO commit suicide
u not the less accessory TO murder because
he was invited by that other 10 assist
In the commission OF the crime. Suppose
unaccountable panic should invite the
two Houses Of Congress 70 assist Il
In the decision Of cases, would any
Intelligent lawyer doubt that the Constitu-
tion was being violated as he saw the Sen
ntors and Representatives toddling over to
take their seats alongside of the Judges:
Yet they might as properly so to the Court
to take part in its proceedings, as the
Judges can undertake to participate in the
deliberations and proceedings of Congress.
II the President, intending to go TO Long
Branch, OF elsewhere for a few weeks, should
invite any or all the Judges Of the Supreme
Court to como up to the Executive Mansion
and discharge the duties Of his Office during
his absence, and If thoy should accept the
invitation and assume his powers, how long
would 1t be before they would be hurled
from their high places?
Yet the assumption Of the authority Of
the Executive would be no moro unconstitu-
tional than the assumption OF any part Of
the powers Of the two Houses Of Congress.
Their being invited or appointed can have
no bearing upon the character OF the
act. 1t is only married women who
can plead Influence and coercion as
q defence TO the charge OF crime.
We must have for Judges of the Supreme
Court men who will not consent TO viola
tlon Of the Constitution of the United States,
even though thereto requested, and no mat
ter by whom.
The several departments Of Government
must move on in their own distinctive indie
pendent spheres, or our wisely modelled
system will be broken up, as surely as, If
the planets should wander from their orbits,
there would be a crush Of worlds.
