Clement Brothers Concert. =

Clement Brothers Concert. =
This celebrated trio consisting of the
Clement Brothers and A. NJ Forces
ter, assisted by Mr. Evans, ali eminent
organist, We are advised by the troupe
will shortly treat our citizens to an
entertainment that will be worth the
hearing. The troupe stands unrivalled.
The Chicago Tribune says this of the
entertainment recently given in Chi
cago:
A Parlor Concert was given by
Clement Brothers and FORESTER,
Thursday evening, at Simmons Hall
TO an audience not large in point Of
numbers, but unsteady as appreciatrve
4 one as could be gathered together in
this city. 1t was the finest treat in
the way Of music that it has been the
good fortune OF our citizens TO listen
to in year, and the hearty laughter and
uproarlous applause that greeted these
artists, spoke volumes of praise and
enjoyment on the part Ui the audience
In whatever city these gentlemen may
pertorM, should any of the inhabitants
thereof be troubled with the ''blues, "
an evening spent III their company is
warranted sure cure.

The controversy between New York and
Brooklyn In respect TO the uncompleted bridge
by which II has been proposed TO connect the
two cities has reached the point OF a judicial
decision, though not final one. The act which
PROVIDES for the building OF the Brooklyn bridge
by New York and Brooklyn jointly fixes eight
million dollars as the limit of its cost. strong
feeling has arisen In New York against the com,
pletion of the bridge, which would be- 10 the
especial advantage OF Brooklyn. So when II
was discovered that the work could not ba fin
ished within the eight million limit, New yort
refused to contribute further, on this and other
grounds. The trustees Of the bridge applied for
a mandamus to compel the New York author
titles TO issue bonds TO the amount of one million
dollars and pay the proceeds TO them. A refusal
OF this request by Judge Barrett is the decision
to which We have referred. The case will now
go to the general term OF the supreme court on
appeal by the trustees. Meanwhile the loss in
interest is at the rate OF 81, 900 day. III the
ruling OF higher court Or supplementary action
by the legislature does not authorize the ex-
penditure OF the amount necessary to complete
the bridge, the outlay OF 81. 500 600 already made
VIII be lost, except SO far as II is represented by
useless towers and cables.

A fourth proposition to heat New York city

cent. less than the city now pays, to clean the
streets and avenues OF snow and ice, To pay the
salary OF superintendent to be appointed by
the city, and 10 turn over to the city treasury
five per cent. of the net profits. If these in
dueements do not represent any large amount
OF money in the aggregate. considering the
value of the privileges granted. they are never

be said, too. that they confer far more substau-

been required from candidates for the legisla-

southern districts \ committee of the Missouri

Vermont is ahead of most other states in the
matter OF NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. laws. She has
passed. experimental with. and repealed one
while other states have been weighing the
question. But the failure of her law, as indi-
Gated by its repeal, will not prevent The hopeful
trial OF similar experiments elsewhere The
belief that the Vermont law was Objectionable
in form and not in principle Is likely to prevent
Its failure from becoming a warning against
other legislation with the same end i'm view.

The President and the southern
PAlicv.

In another column Will be found statement
defining the position occupied by the President
upon the southern question. In view OF the re-
ports that have gone out as 10 his teetOtal
change of base; his entire abandonment Of his
southern policy; and his reconciliation with the
stalwart republicans, this exposition of his
views Is perhaps timely. The purport OF this
exposition is that he has made no change OF
policy; only he Is determined to protect the
citizens NJ every part Of the Union in their
rights lie does not yet believe in bayonet rule.
All violations of the law. he still holds, should
be punished by civil processes IF possible
Therefore. when il was learned, prior 10 the
recent elections. that republican voters in GER
tain southern states would be intcrfercd with
i'll the exercise Of their franchise rights the At
toIney General ordered the l. =. District At
toTrcys for those states to see that all VIOLA
tors OF the law in this respect were promptly
arrested and brought to trial. And after the
elections the advances for ''cOnciiiatiOn" from
those arrested were not needed. and the AttOr-
ney General was on last SATURDAY instructed to
prosecute offenders To- the utmost limits Of the
law. But IL is urged that neither OF these ill.,
StrlctiOnS could be regarded as a change of
policy. We think ii may be explained that
the President has not abandoned his policy
OF seeking to reconstruct the South with
out the aid Of the bayOnet, but that
in resolving TO punish offenders to the full lin
its OF the law he has concluded. like the old
man in the fable. to try the virtue of a few
(egaD stones to dislOdge the rude boy in the
apple tree, in place of the ineffective tufts of
grass. Ii is to be hoped that as in the fable,

England is so much worried by the decline f
her industries that there is increasing talk there
in favor OF abandoning free trade and reviving
protective tariff or OF making reciprocity trea-
ties with other countries TO enable her to make
head against the discriminating legislation of
the rest OF the world But as the principal de-
Cline in her trade has been in the direction OF
the United States, and as the principal articles
We supply her are breadstunS and provisions a
tariff on imports from this country would only
he tax to the British consumer on the neces-
saries OF life. This would not work at all. and
so they don't know exactly what to do about it,
The fact that so large proportion of the
present House viii not be returned to the next
Congress calls attention to the other fact that
owing to the time when our congressional cleo
tons are held, great number of legislators
having been defeated, either in attempts at re-
nomination or reelection, have the conviction
forced upon them that they do not represent
their constituencies. The people have rejected
them. and yet they continue to make laws as
usual during q whole session. Who will Qules-
ton that the tendency Of this condition OF
affairs is to make the average congressman
reckless OF the welfare OF those whom ne repre-
SentS, and mindful solely of his own interests
He is now indifferent TO the anger OF his con-
StituentS, since he has nothing more to hone
from them. If only few of those congress
men, who at the second session are i'm the posi-
ton indicated, are found weak enough to give
way to this tendency, the evil will be apparent.
And II is one that can be easily remedied
Either the time of the assembling Of Congress
or the time OF the elections should be changed
80 that member OF Congress cannot present
himself for reelection, until his full term is
practically completed. This suggestion, which
IL is almost unnecessary to say, is not new
one, gathers additional force this year from the
defeat OF an unusual number of committeeman
and others in the present House.
