many years ago, when TammaDy Hall, under
the skilful management az the late Mr.. Tweed,
did make itself responsible for pretty much
everything, even for the administration OF in
Justice in the courts. If there were function
aries here and there who wore the livery OF
the opposition, they were the servants OF Tam
many all the same. Whatever COMB
"natiOns" there may have been between
unprincIpled men of the two parties,
it was perfectly well understood that these
combinations were made at the Democrauc
headquarters and nobody dreamed OF holding
any organization but Tammany Hall to ac-
countabilty for them. If the Democrats wished
to be responsible they certainly had
their full desire. If they wanted talr
chance to show what they could do IN
the way of governing city MAKING
Judges, building court houses, furnishing
armoIies, manufacturing naturaiized cltizens'
running elections, and running up DIS
Heaven knows they had it, and there was
never a political faction to divide with
them the credit of what they accom-
plished. But we do not remember that
they showed ait that time any particu-
larry keen sensitiyeness to public opinion.
Tweed, with all his bulging pockets stuffed
full of stolen money, stood In what Mt Marble
calls " the keen bright sunlight of publicity"
and asked an angry community What are
4" YOU going to do about it2" And the Dem
ocratic party was so little concerned about lts
responsibility that, after the character ana ex-
tent of Tweed's frauds had been fully ex-
posed, 1t reelected him by sweeping MAJOR
ity to the Senate in which he never again
burst take his seat.
There is q mOdicum of truth in Mr.. KEEL
ly's idea of party government; but there Is a
fallacy which he does not perceive. What do
we gain by putting the whole responsibility
of administration upon a party which does
not desire an honest and economical man
agement of the public affairs, and
is bold enough and strong enough to DEFY
those who dot Experience" says the
Controller, "has conclusively proved that
the majority of the leading officers
"of the city should belong TO political
"party which has confidence in them, and Is
responsible for their acts, and which holds
"them to a rigid account for their official be-
"havio =" But suppose, having accepted
the responsibility, this party encour-
ages the sort of practices which have made
Tammany notorious, and treats the remon-
strances of decent public opinion in the
Damnedificare style of William NJ. Tweed
The principle of accountability in politics
presupposes a much more virtuOus and intel
ligent constituency than that which MIR. Kelly
controls.

Barlow company was getting 1888, 700 for

said of the "ring":

testimony. They further, by the corrupt use of money
with officials by false representation and by manufac-
ured petitions induced the Department to esab-
lish service over lines where the public convenience
did not require IT, and was subscryed by it, Further
they induced corrupty pOstmasers TO give eerti-
Gates ms to suretes and bonds which false and iu

Gates for services not rendered so plumber the pub

stance of Barlow and Sawyer notably, they have not
only paid out DoneVs corrupt purposes and TO OBJ

but have been enabled so far control efforts to dis
cover expose and punish their evil practices TO de-
feat in the of 1872. appears in Barlows
testimony the ends of investigation instituted by the
honorable House itself.
In view of this record, Mr.. BarlOw's request
for seat in Congress, that he may there de-
vote himself to lessening the burdens of the
people, Is modest and engaging to an ex-
IRENE. He represents no party, not even
Buffers and he ought not to receive the vote
of any honest man. He seems to have entered
politics as o straw-bidder."

crushed by the sheer weight of military sys-
TEN. 1t must be fought down and stlmped
out from mountain pass to mountain crest.
The ultimate result is a fOregone eoneiu-
sion. The soldiers of PhilippOvich will learn
the art of mountain skirmishing, and their
superior discipline and resources will finally
overcome all resistance. If the occupation OF
the provinces has proved perilous undertake
ing, how much more harassing will be the
task of administration The number of
Bosnian refugees supported in South
Austria during the past three years
exceeds 10000. These outcasts who have
lived on charity must be restored to their
possessions; and aside from sgrarian compli-
cations, there are the conflicting interests OF
race and faith, and the restlessness of con-
quered people. But Austria is well fitted for
the work of pacifcation. She has learned to
deal with natiOnalities and creeds in spirit
of prudence and liberation.

TILE MAkTYRS.

The kilograms from the fever districts have
been heavily laden during the past few days
wiCh the names of heroes and herOines dead
at the post of duty. To-day we have the news
of the death of several clergymen. Yesterday
it was the same. The Sisters of Charity and
Mercy are dying at the hospitals. Many
of the volunteer nurses have succumbed.
And the physicians are meeting fate
not less honorable than that of priest
and minister with a fortitude and self
devotion not less illustriOus. In the
melancholy narrative which is repeated to us
day after day, the story of these willing
victims is q bright and cheering page. Their,
is no courage more sublime than theirs. Ther9
are few exhibitions of sef-sacrifce more COM
plete. They have given their lives for the
sake of Others and the gift is all the more
precious from the fact that they have bound
themselves 10 offer it continually, hour by
hour, until heaven shall see fit 20 accept it.
1t would be a great mistake 10 imagine
that because most of these ladies and gentle
men have made it their profession to face
danger and bear hardship, the are not there
fore rs keenly sensitive to the risk and the
prvation as the rest of us could be. On the
contrary, perhaps, familiarity with peril
has only served TO make them re-
alize how great and how horrible 1t
is The clergyman who goes fran bed
to bed all through the hideOus day
and the still more dreadful night, teaching,
exhorting. soothing, consolingj the nurse,
whether dressed in religious robe or homely
calico, who devotes herself TO the most re-
pulsive offices for the sick, the dying and the
dead the hard-wOrking doctor, who wastes
himself in the struggle against disease,-these
brave souls feel That they are marching to their
death. Sustained by a stern sense of duty or
inhamed by religious ardor they are beautiful
examples of the influence of Christian faith
which has affected the lives even of many who
hardly hold to it, and has been the founda-
ton of whatever is Hottest and most enduring
in our civilization.

ACCOUNTABILITY.

Mr.. John Kelly, having complete control of
the political party which rules the City of
New-York, naturally believes "that the pub
lie interests are best served by party gov
"einment." He is satisfied that when party
is thoroughly organized it holds its men in
Office to a rigorous accountability. 1t is re-
sponsble for their acts. If they steal, it is dis
graced by them; il they are patriotic and upright
and able, it is honOred in their popularity.
Only trust the Democratic party far enough,
says Mr. Kelly; put everything into its hands /;
don't hamper it by non-partisan Commissions
and humbugs of that sort; let it have full
swing; and see how it will rise 10 the
level of its opportunities and duties. The
Democratic party in Tammany Hall is
Just plning to be held responsible
TO public opinion. If there are any faults
in the city government at presented
which, perhaps, Mr.. Kelly has doubts
It is because there are some few Of
fees in tho municipal administration which
Tammany Hall did not fill. and for which,
consequently, Tammany Hall cannot make it
self responsible. II Tammany could only
make itself responsible

Speculations concerning means by which the
slavery problem might have been solved with
out civil war can only have somewhat
vague historical interest, but the scheme which
is described in Mr. Weeds letter was perhaps
the most rational that was ever proposed
The fact that this device for gradual enamel
patton had the approval of such men as Inn
Othy Pitkin, its sponsor, and Clay, webster
and Seward, as well as of Mr.. Weed himself
shows that it certainly did not seem mprac-
ticable then. whatever it may seem to those
who look back upon it now. Since the CIVIL
war it is difficult to conceive of any cOmpro-
mise c. device of craftsmanship by which a
conflict could have been avoided. But the
study of the past is the best protection for the
future, and nations as well as individuals may
find profit in wise retrospection
Our Boston correspondent discusses this
morning Buffers relations to the Democrats
of Massachusetts,, which are decidedly COM
plicated, and, for the Democrats, uncOmforta-
BILE. His hold upon the masses OF the party
seems to be much greater than the leaders
care to have it, and they are expected to re-
fuse him an Endorsement by the convention
for fear that such action would completely
demoralize the party. Even after tins
rejection, it is thought that lie will succeed in
Turing many Democrats into desertion, at the
same time that he gives them in return as
many Congressman as he can lay his hands
on. The General proposes, in short, to man
age all the parties in the interest of Butler
1t is mournful to reflect that the ingenuity
which the Massachusetts Kearney is to bestoW
upon this edifylng canvass is almost certain
to be wasted.

it organized, since the delegates assembled
rather to discuss the American propositions
than to suggest changes which they were
not empowered to carry into effect. The

to be of great value to this country, mas
much as il embodies the opinions of the most
experienced fnaneiers on the subject, and IN
dicates the considerations which sway their
