| safe, at this jnncture, to remark that
there is just possibility of carrying the
thing too far. We ought to save mere
and there by-gono for the purposes
Of history. For instance, without dwelling
upon it constantly, we might as well save out
the fact that there has been a war; and with
out being invidiOus, chat there were two hdes
to it; and without beiag offensive, that the
side which won is not the one to be forgiven.
But ut the rate Congress Is going On-espe-
cially in tho DoOrkeeper's epdrtment-every-
thing will be swept out shortly, and nothing LETT
for history. The present DOorkeeper OF the House
has concilated himself 10 such an extent,
and forgiven and forgotten, and passed his
by-gOncs to that degree that he scarcely knows
which side triumphed in the war. There's
class of employees in his department made up
of disabled soldiers, who are on what Is called
the "Soldiers' ROlln The object of this CLASH
ficatiOn was to furnish employment to Union
soldiers disabled in the war. BY way of let
ting by-gones be by-gones, the Union soldiers
on the roll have been removed. TO show
that he had forgiven everybody, and forgotten
that there were two sides in the war, Door
keeper Polk appointed Mr. Patton, who was
~
army. Then he appointed q Mr.. Dulin, who
was never in the army, but served in the
navy, which I've entered four years after the
war closed. Then Mr.. Holt, who was never in
the army at all, but had been In the State mi
litia. Then Mr.. FitzhuSh, who was not con-
scious of having served in army, navy or State
militia, but. finding his name on the
Soldiers Roll, drew his pay like little major.
These are only few instances. Doubtless more
might be cited. but these are enough to show
how jealous Mr.. Doorkceper Polk is in the
great work of fOrgiving himself and his friends,
and forgetting which side they fought on, and
Of sweeping by-gOncs out into the limbo To
the crippled Union soldier whom he removes
from Office, and to whoever expOstulates against
putting Confederate soldiers on their pension
rolls, he says in his largc-hearted way.
"Oh, let's forget the past Let by-gones be
"by-gones." With which gush of sentiment
he issues orders for the removal of several
more pensioners and puts members of his own
family in their places. He's an encouragement
to the philanthropist, Doorkeepcr Polk is:
no man ever buried the past with such
discrimination.
Meantime, the disabled Union soldier, thrust
out from the position grateful people had
given him for his services in putting down rebel
lion, looks meditatively on rs the rebel soldier
whom he lately met in arms steps smartly up
to take his place and pay. To him the Muse
Of History turns a wondering face, and asks
the meaning Of this sudden change. And the
worn soldier sadly answers, " don't pretend
" to understand it, but they call it letting by
" cones be by-gones."

EORG FITTING WITH DISCRINTN

There are few things more beautiful in the
view of the patriot and philanthropst than
the successful carrying out OF n policy OF
reconciliation where there has been es-
arrangement OF misunderstanding. 1t is
so charming a spectacle to behold broth
rem of the same family and citizens
of the same Republic sitting down in
peace together. forgetting that they have
ever differed, and letting by-gones be by
Cones As it was the first OF Republican
journals to urge upon tie country, after tie
war, the policy of Cancellation, from the
politIco-economic as well as the humanitarian
and sentimental point Of view, SO The
TRIBUNE has continued to approve and
cordially commend every measure that looked
to the removal of old prejudices and animosi-
ties. and the establishment of friendly rcla-
tons and better understanding between the
two lately warning sections. 1t is proper that
we should say now that the progress made in
letting by-goncs be by-gones, and in not only
foreiviDg but forgetting all the unpleasant
ness of the past, has been sucll-especially
since the Democrats have had control Of one
branch of Congress-as to exceed our highest
hopes and most sangulne expectations In
the matter of forgetting, the officers and MEM
bcrs Of the present Congress have shown
a willingness and readiness that cannot
have escaped the admiIing attention of the
country. This has been particularly the case
with the members from Southern States
and the officials of the House, who are
mostly Southern statesmen. The brisk and
cheerful way in which these gentlemen
have responded to the appeal to forgive and
forget, and the alacrity with which they
have come forward aud affixed their names
iii the most solemn manner TO pay-rOlls in
attestation of their anxiety to let by-gones
be by-gones, have extorted the wonder and
admiration Of everybody. Never peo-
pie or party let by-gones be by-gones
with such prodigalty. Among the by
cones were the Confederate archiyes-how
good that WAS of them-and they would
have been forgotten entirely had not
some inconsequent irrcconcilablc brought them
forward the other day in connection with
proposition to pay some Confederate claims
on old mail contracts, which somebody some
how had failed TO forget
All this goes to show that the policy is
success So much so, that we deem it entirely

The commotion into which the Khedives
creditors have been plunged springs from the
startling decrease in the receipts of the
Public Debt Commission, appointed to pro-
tect the holders of Egyptian secun-
ties. When the bondholders complained of
this decline in the revenue, the Khedive an
swcred that he would refer the matter TO the
Sublime Porte, and ask it to appoint COM
mttee of investigation. Mr.. GOschen and Mr..
Joubcrt replied promptly that it would not do
to appeal to the Porte, and that its mteIven-
ton would produce " the greatest dstrust and
dissatisfaction" The Khedyc appears to
have needed this protest, and placed Colonel
Gordon at the head of a new commits
sion. Unless, however, the Khcdiye
shows more earnestness in collecting the
national revenue Colonel Gordon and
his associates might as well forego
further inquiry. The affair has its political
aspects, since, if Ismai continues refractory,
England may regard his Obstinacy as pre-
text for vexatious Intervention.

Prince Gortschakofrs organ being better au-
thoiity than that of NJ. Gambctta, it may be
assumed that Russia will not submit the
whole treaty of San StefanO to the Con-
grcss fer revision. The Prince holds, very
Justly, that matters which do not directly
concern Europe must not be touched. Rus
STA has defined her terms and will
not modify them. In acting thus, she Is
in accord with precedent. Congress
or Conference meets mainly to ratiiy
accomplished facts, and in no way resembles q
parliamentary meeting where debates are fol-
lowed by decisions. At Vienna in 1914, at
Verona in 1923, and at Paris III 1886, the
diplomatists acknowledged the force of
events, and did not attempt to overturn any
settlement made under circumstances like
those which preceded the treaty Of
san Stefano. After further discussion, the
Powers will find that they cannot establish a
European Areopagus. and that if they would
restrain Russia, they must do 80 by armed
force.

The advance of the Russians TO the Bos-
nborus is one of those seasonable precautions
which they might be expected to take, mas
much as they will there be able to prevent the
British fleet from entering the Black sea,
and severing their communications with
Odessa and SobastopOl. 1t is quite probable
that the Sultan makes no objection to
this movement, OF to the occupation OF the
villages near ConstantiDople. With Russians
all around him, it matters little what par
ticular post they occupy.

The exact figure of the salary to be paid to
members Of the Legislature is not important.
The country will be safe if it should be re-
duccd one third, as the Assembly yesterday
voted, and equally safe If it should be lett
where it is. There can be no doubt
however, that the increase in the rate
OF pay has raised the character of the
Legislature by enabling able men, young
lawyers especially, to become members
without sacrificing their own interests to too
great an extent; and those members who OPP
pose reduction have that strong argument
in their favor. A far more important matter
is that of reducing the number of legislative
sessions. Mr.. SINNERS amendment to the Con-
sttution, providing for biennial sessions. seems
to receive Unexpectedly strong support. There
seems to be no good reason why it should not
pass. Let the Legislature once give the cities
self government, and its chief occupation will
then be gone.

Mr.. Hale held up the mirror to the Demo-
cratic majority in the House, yesterday, and
then left them to ask themselves how much
their claims of economy amounted to. He
showed, on one side, the cheeseparing re-
trenchment which saves few millions out Of
the expenses of the Government one year, to
be largely made up by deficiencies the next,
and. on the other, the prodiga lberality
which proposes to empty the National Treas
ury into the infinite LAW of the South. Mr..
Hale told the whole story of Democratic econ
omy in single sentence. 1t consists in "re-
"ducing clerks, cramping consuls, and turning
"Out ministers" but when Southern claims
come up before these members, sit is as newt
liable as that water runs down hill. that they
will vote for them, and will advocate them,

An explosion in a gunpOwder mill is so
likely to be of heavy cost in property as well
as in human life, that proprietors of such fac
tories might well be expected to look after
their own interests with the utmost anxiety.
That the requisite care was not exer-
cised in the Acton Powder Mills, could
have been inferred from the two previous
explosions there within comparatively few
months, although the present occurrence, with
its fatal consequences, is attributed to an
accidental breaking of machinery. The
amount of powder on hand must have
been large, or the noise from it would
not have been heard seventeen miles
away. There will always be found men
willing to engage in any service, however
dangerous, if good wages are offered for the
work. and it should be no excuse for careless
management if 1t is shown that the unfOr
t,natc workmen who were killed knew
the risks they were running. There are
at least a few powder mills in this country
that have been in operation many years with
out a single accident. They have had good
fortune, indeed, but they have also had the
benefit of every possible prccaution.

The case of the sufferers by the Hot Springs
fire is indeed peculiar. The destruction OF
the town has not only ruined many OF the
permanent residents, but rendered even more
helpless than before many unfortunate inva-
lids who have been seeking health by the
help of charity. Many of both classes can do
nothing there, and cannot get away, while
those who would rebuild, if they could, can
borrow no money on land which has been
decided to belong to the Government. Inc
circumstances seem to justify the urgent APP
peal for aid which is sent out.
