REPEALING THE BANKRUPT ACT

The recent increase in the number of fail
ures is generally attributed to the prospect of
repeal of the Bankrupt Act Not only since
the vote of the Senate for the repeal, but
ever since the agitation for it appeared likely
TO prevail this cause has operated with more
and more force. Doubtless it produced much
OF the increase in number Of failures during
the quarter ending March 81, and in part,
possibly, the increase in average liabili-
ties of firms failing. The number during
the quarter was 1856, against 1850
during the first quarter of last year; the pro-
portion Of failures to firms in business was

will never be turned out so long as they

not little distressed of late by
report that the Administration had taken from
them some of the dearest privileges of an
American citizen, to wit, making campaign
s9ecches and being assessed on their salaries
for the party election fund; but the recent ex-
PLANTATION of President Hayes relieves this sup

world that a political reorganization OF the
Custom House is out of the question. There
is really nothing to reOrganize.

THE DANGFR From DEuOCRACY

Secretary Sherman, it is said, has improperly
asserted that the restoration of the Demo
cratic party to power is the only danger
that really threatens our public peace and
safety" 1t is even said that Mr. Sherman
cannot possibly believe this, and must be in
sincere in saying it. Patriotic and able Demo
Gratis are named, by way of proof that the
country has nothing to fear from the advent
of that party to power, and it is somewhat
rashly asserted that "whenever the ascend
ancy Of either party is actually and positively
ga menace to the public peace and safety
"then the days of liberty are numbered" But
Mr.. Sherman is entirely right in this matter
and his critics are palpably in the wrong
There was time, not more than seventeen
years ago, when the ascendancy of the Demo-
cratic party would have been not only menace
to the public peace and safety but an ineYi-

endless and merciless, between sundered sec
tons.
Secretary Sherman wisely refuses to forget
that time. In some degree the Democratic
party has changed its constituent elements,
but the same controlling spirit remains 1t Is
ruled by the South, as it was before the war.
In loose and iocular phrase the South is said
to be reconstructed" but it is absolutely
impossible to name the Southern statesman who
dares publicly to disavow the ideas for which
the South was said to fight Southern states
men come back into the Union because they
cannot hcln it, but not one of them ventures
to denounce the objects of the war, or to say
that on the part of the South it was wrongly
fought, OF to say that the South VIII not seek
in peace. and by means of its political
power, the very objects which it mistakenly
sought to gain by war. Until the South has
changed, why should its tool the Democratic
party, be thought to have changed IN purpose
or character.
Secretary Sherman need not 90 back further
than the opening of the present session OF
Congress to prove that "the Democratic party
threatens our public peace and safety" The
attempt TO set aside the settlement OF the
Presidential question, and to reopen that most
exciting and dangerous controversy, Is made
by Democrats only, has the support OF not
single Republican, and obviously threatens
the public peace and safety. The effort 10
rob creditors of the nation, by making It's
bonds and the interest thereon payable III
derreciated money, unquestiOnably threatens
the credit, and therefore the peace and safety
of the country; and it is made mainly by
Democrats, and would doubtless have sue
cccded if there had not been Republican
President. Four-fIths of the Democratic
members of Congress are inilatonlsts, ana OF
their thousand schemes every one threatens
the public peace and safety, and the success
of each and all is to-day prevented by
Republican Senate or Il Republican President.
More lies behind as the vote of the House
on Monday proves. Nobody can guess how
many millions may be voted away, 1t the
Democratic party gains the power. Seven
millions on. Monday-why? Because the South
wanted three millions or more, and was Will
ing TO cOnspire with hungry members from
other sections. Can anybody guess how many
millions the House would have voted, ii there
had been Il Senate TO match! That there are
Southern claims, for losses during the war,
readers of THE TRIBUNE know. Does any
one suppose that these claims would be for
gotten or generally rejected, if the Democratic
party had power? All these expenditures aud
claims threaten the public safety, because
bankruptcy will come ii they are granted.
They threaten the public peace, because dis
order. and resistance 10 law, if not actual dis
union. will follow whenever the Nation Is linan-
cially crippled. Secretary Sherman told moth
ing but the truth. Democratic rule means
now. as it did during the war, peril to the
Union-perl to its credit, It's prosperity, its
peace and It's safety

The Confederate House keeps at it. One
third of the six score bills and resolutions IN

claims, and this is the seventh month OF the
Congress, with nearly 5000 bills Eintroduced.

Santo Domingo are discussing the merits of

election, which is to be held next month.
This time, public voting is to be
substituted for the ballot box, in order that
there may be less fraud on all sides. But
some plan by which a President may retain

The Mussulman revolts in Roumelia and
Macedonia must be ranked with those
accidental circumstances which have so
often advanced Russian interests. Already
they have demonstrated the necessity
for the occupation of part of Turkey by Rus
sian troops, and have likewise occasioned the
formation of a RussO-Turkish commission to
restore order. The latter measure affords
striking instance of the polite manner in
which Russia is gaining her ends by concil-
iation and intrigue at Constantinope.
