man of the State Committee, denounced me
usc of his name rs cover for fraud,
and the persistence with which he demanded
an investigation; when we remember the
unwilngness of Gov. Hoffman to accept the
Office to which Mr.. Tweed had elected HIM,
and the positive refusal of the Hon. HoratO
Seymour to receive the electoral votes gained
by fraud when we remember all this, and how
leading Democrats protested and all refused TO
accent Office under fraudulent Governor,
we can no longer be surprised at the
profound sorrow with which the whole
Democratic party is afflicted over the
shadow on President Hayes's title. That's
the sort of men they are. They can't bear
anything that looks like fraud. The sensitive
ness on that subject permeates the whole
party from Tammany Hall to Buffalo. And
they have always felt so. They think now
that Hayes is doing very WELL They would
like to support him. But they can't cOnsci-
cntiously, because they think he was elected
by fraud. And that makes them unhappy.
They will not be cOmforted.
There's a prevailing delusion that Presi-
dent Hayes having received a majority OF the
electoral votes, and his title to the same hay
ing been submitted to a tribunal of Democratic
selection and pronounced sound, he rightfully
holds his office But the Democratic mOralist
and purist shakes his sad head and says, "Oh,
"no! Fraud Fraudw 1t is touching spec

large class of citizens who openly assert
that there never was Democratic committee
in any city, town, ward, or school district in
this whole country that ever lost an Opportu-
nifty to bride or bully voter, stuff ballot
box, falsify count, or cheat in the returns.
They can't be any such persons. If they were
they wouldn't feel so bad now about Presi-
dent IIayes's title.

the belief that little by little we are learning
the lesson which great fires and railway acci-
dents and shipwrecks ought to teach us-only
we learn it too slowly. We have great fnth
in mans capacity for progress. and we thlnk
that the time will come when a fire like that
at st. Louis Will be an impossibillty. ms
will appear all the more probable if we con-
slider the improvements already made IN safe
building and in the management OF confiagra-
tons.
Great as are the improvements in our steam
fire-engnes, our fire departments, and the
means for telegraphing notice when fire has
broken out. they do not yet keep pace with
the increased risk which the enormous build
ings of the present day occasion. They can
not. until the buildings are themselves cor
respondingly improved. 1t is cheaper every
way in the long run, even II the value OF hl-
man life be not taken into the calculation, 10
build large structures in our cities OF thor
Oughly fre-proof materials, and to put these
together in such way that fire can make no
Roadway within. 1t would seem as though
common prudence would dictate solid brick
walls, floors of cement or stone, ana iron
starcases with stone treads, as necessity
where great numbers of people must be boused
under one roof Such precautions have been
taken in THE TRIBUNE building and few
other large structures in this city, where no
such great number of occupants IS to DC
provided for. Where the risk of life
is so greatly increased by the number
of occupants. as it was in the Southern and is
in a majority of our hotels, the precautlon OF
fire-proof building seems tenfold more lmpeia-
tive. The only thing that stands III the way
of such construction is the cost; and that Is
not so largely increased as to make the net
result Improbable. The time may yet come
when hotel which can be truly advertised as
fre-proof will thereby win the patronage
which its inhammable rivals deserve TO lose.

VEIGHFD And FOUND WAyTING.

Gov. Chamberlain makes strong appeal to
the sympathy OF Republicans. The men of
South Carolina who turned the scale in favor
of President Hayes, he says, are abandoned.
No doubt the same feeling is strong in the
hearts of many Republicans to-day, and they
cannot realize that the sober second thought
will bring any change. Something is due to
the character of the man who thus surrcnders
an untenable post. Gov. Chamberlain was not
the worst but the best of Southern Republican
Governors. He had tried to do something for
the State and for the country, and it is not
largely his fault if his efforts have failed. But
when the sober second thought comes to him,
as to Others it will be seen. that he was try
ing to make bricks without straw. He wanted
TO effect genuine reforms, and yet his only in
strument was party the local leaders of
which were implacably hostile to those re-
forms. He goes down, not because his better
purposes are not appreciated, but because it is
felt by good citizens in South Carolina and
elsewhere that wholesome and peaceful gov

Does an election elect This is the coming ques-
ton in Jersey City, On Tuesday last the citizens of
that much governed town rallied at the polls,
although the Republicans failed to rally in sufficient
force to elect much of anybody But now steps for
ward the Hon. Cortandt Parker with an opinion
that the law under which the Fire Commissioners,
the Police Commissioners, and the Board OF Public
Works were chosen is invalid and the election void,
and he fortifes his opinion by some pungent argu-
ments from Gov. Bodies old veto messages. The
reasons which the Governor alleged as justifyng
his refusal to sign other bills on the ground that
they were unconstitutional, apply with full force,
according to Mr.. Parker, to this act 1t Is true that
the Governor signed the act concerning commissions
and vetoed the Others and this makes an interesting
case of Bedlc against Bedle. But the case which
comes home to the business and bosOms of Jersey
City is the one between the existing boards, who
propose to stay where they are, and certain Demo
Gratis who claim that they were elected. AS matters
look now it is fragrant case Of duality, and we
ought to expect loud call for troops or for COM

pointments upon &he Recorder. and might give
that person, tie supery ision of the entire City
Ic~.-.j,lm ent. This IL the most farccal bit OF
cbarter-tinkering we nave had in long time,
and it is to he hoped III, Assembly viii
resist the finsl enactment OF such solemn non
sense. This power might with equal propnety
be conferred on the New-York Central Kali
road or the Lighthouse Board.
Mr.. Cowdin's speech in the Assembly yester-
day on the excessive taxation OF National
banks was deserving of wider audience. III
we can Judge from the replies that were made
to it, however, it went pretty much the same
way as the pearls in Scripture. The question
is one in which every business man has per-
sOnal interest, for the simple reason that the
combined weight of Federal, State and NUM-
cipal taxation is grinding banking capital down.
The result has already been shown in several
reductions of banking capital in this city,
which are not likely to be the last. 1t is
short-sighted business community that allows
its facilities for obtaining discount and trans
acting business to be diminished without
lively protest 1t is short-sighted State, which,
having the great banking center OF the con-
tinent within its borders, imposes greater bur
dens on the National banks than any other
State in the Union, excepting only two. 1t is
a short -sighted Legislature that will not see
that the taxation of bank shares at their full
value, while all other kinds of property are
taxed for only fraction of their full value, Is
a gross injustice, and that will not do what 1t
can to remedy it. 1t is-but what is the use
of discussing subject which Mr.. Spinoa was
allowed to lay on the table
The demand made in the Assembly yester-
day for q report from the AppOrtlonment
Committee was an eminently proper one, and
ought not to have been ANONYMOUSLY tabled.
The Legislature in q few hours more Will
have reached its old-time limit of a hundred
DAYS session, and neither the Senate Com
mittee nor the Assembly Committee has held
q single meeting. There would be little eX-
cuse enough for this neglect if the subject had
not been discussed at length last Winter One
of the worst of the numerous lapses of the
last Legislature was its failure to perform the
duty strictly enjoincd upon it by the Consti-
tuition, and it was supposed, at that time, that
the new Legislature would hasten to repair the
omission of its predecessor. On the contrary, 1t
has been guilty of at least equal prOcrastinatiOn
and equally premeditated delay. We are glad
to see that some prominent Republicans are
not afraid to express their dissatisfaction with
the inaction of the Committees. But with Mr.
Woodin ut the head Of one Committee and
Mr.. Alvord at the head of the other, their
protests as well as those of the people of the
State are likely to go for nothing. We
shall probably see reported at the tail of the
session a reapportionment of the State, which
will be no less partisan than the scheme the
Democrats would have given us, if they had
had the chance, gerrymanderng being game
at which both parties will stand watching.

opinion of the music OF Richard Wagner, which he
regards as a frightful source of pollution. The
man who comes out Of Wagners concert is not to be

haps accounts for the strong temptation experienced
by number of generally inofiensvc people to MUIR

ness is dawning on the committee itself.
The expressed doubt whether it is not in dan

that there is danger that the investigation
may do far more harm than any possible good
from it can cOunterbalance.

There is renewed activity among the for
eign ministers of Europe. Lord Derby, who
impaired the effect of the protocol by his
declaration, has FASTENED to disabuse the Porte
of any hopes it may have formed of British
aid. This step has evidently been taken to
meet the coming attack in Parliament, as well
as to make the Porte a little more submissive.
Count Andrassy seconds the British remOn-
STRANGE being evidently apprehensive that
diplomacy has played its last card. Russia
maintains her uncompromising attitude, and
intmates that next week she will convince
Europe of her earnestness.

REDUCTION OF SUBSCRIPTION.

We are SO determined to bring the NATIONAL
TRIBUNE within the reach of every one that we
now reduce the price of subscription from ONE
DOLLAR to FIFTY CENTS per year.
This latter amount is the lowest possible fig
ure at which paper Of this style and size has
been or can be furnished, and it can only be
maintained at this prizes to regular Subscribers
and on large subscription roll. Again we
urge upon our friends the duty of prompt ac-
tion in subscribing and canvassing for this pa
per. We shall arrange with our subscribers at
the old rate as they may prefer. by extension of
the time or by sending two papers for one, but
we very much prefer that each of our old SUBJ
scribers send us an order for another paper
Hereafter the NATIONAL TRIBUNE will not be
sent to any but it's regular subscribers, and those
who need it will find it to their advantage to sub
scribe at once and forward their names and the
cash to the publishers
