about how those set up Conventions
turn out, They nominated two
Democrats and three Radicals, the
President Of Board being one Of
them. This gives them n majority
on all questions that may arise at the
meetings Of the Board. Now the re-
suit Of all this is that there will be
another Convention held on the 10Th,
for the purpose of nominating n
straight-out Democratic ticket, which
will result in the complete overthrow
Of tho so-called peoples ticket. All

The case of the city Of Elizabeth, n j.. is
pointing many moral against spendthrift
ways in city management. 1t has been i'm
proved well nigh to death. Its city fathers
have laid out streets and paved them with
wooden pavements and laid tagging and
built sewers, till the city has serenty-frc
miles Of improved streets for population of
p 600. But the city has something more
than Improvements. 1t has debt of over
fire n-lhoHs (S5 1923, S65.l0, including
S2iG, S46.G7 of tax arrearages and accrued
interest Oh the same, and it has defaulted in
the payment of its interest, and is practical
ly bankrupt. Last year it borrowed SG0,
600 but this year it can borrow nothing
Collections Of back taxes arc being push
ed with extraordinary vigor. When real
property cannot be found, personal property
is seized, and when there is none of the lat
ter the body of the delinquent is liable to be
taken. So there is trouble in Elizabeth PEG
pie Of means are getting away as fast as pos
sible, and population and business are rapid
ly diminishing. What is to be the end does
not appear but it will probably be many
years before it can become solvent and
prosperous municipality. Enterprise is
coed thing but there is such thing as too
much enterprise, in city management.

The militia bill which was one of the re
suits Of the late convention of officers d
the militia Of the various State, has been
introduced IN Congress. 1t provides tor al
appropriation of one million dollars, to be
allotted among the States, to arm, equip
organize and drill their militia Every State
or Territory receiving its share OF the appro-
pr!atiOn must provide its active militia with
a complete uniform and equipment must
provide Tor an annual Inspection; and equip
and maintain at least one rifle range, at
which it shall require its militia to be in
structct. There are provisions for establish
ing competent boards to select suitable
pattern Of militia fatigue uniform and equip
ments, and uniform regulations and systems
OF discipline. 1t is provided, however, that
existing seryiceable clothing and equipments
may lie first worn out that distinctive
parade Or dress suits may always be retained
and used by regiments or companies and
that the State Legislatures may make suit
able additions to the proposed code of regu-
lations. There are also provisions for in
spectons Of the militia by army officers, and
for detailing the latter to act as militia ajja-
iants or staff officers
What the prospects for the passage Of the
bill are, we do not know but there can be
no question that it would add vastly to the

1t is of course impossible to avoid con-
Meeting the cipher disclosures with the Pres
identia question. How will they affect Mr..
Tllden's chances? was the question before
the Investigation opened How have they
affected his chances? is the question now.
Most Of the Democratic papers, and the
Springfield Republican, which Is breyet-Dem-
ocratic, assume that Mr.. Tilien's denials
have fully cleared his skirt, and many
of them seem to think that he has
now the inside track Tor thc next
nomination of his party. We should
be glad to believe this to be true;
"a weaker candidate than Mr.. lilden is
not likely to be nominated By our opponents
but we fear that there is little hope of
such contingency. The Southern leaders
have all along distinctly shown that they
have got through with Mr.. Tllden-and, as
Mr.. Chalmers told the House the other day,
the party would be nowhere without the
Southern Democrats. II they say they will
have no Tildcn in theirs, the Northern
Democrats will give him the cold shoulder.
Why should they not still say 50? Nothing
surely has come out which can add to Mr..
Tilden's popularity before the country. lie
has been able to swear that he knew
nothing about these disgraceful nego-
tations carried on from his house in Gramer
CT Park. He, the astute, yigilant, crafty
politician, who managed his own canvass,
looked after everything, and neglected moth
ing, permitted his own secretary and the
acting secretary of the Democratic National
Committee, and his other confidential friends,
Weed and Marble, to organize schemes OF
bribery, and conduct negotiations for the
purchase of electors and returning boards
under his very nose. and he knew nothing
about it We do not suppose he did know
what they were doing. 1t was undoubtedly |
arranged, and he perfectly understood it,
that he should not know anything. |
The scTupulous care with which the trans
action was conducted so that Mr.. Tilden |
should be able to say. when it was all over,
that he knew nothing about it, is one Of the
most obvious things about the business.
But does this virtual connivance at an opera
ton .ov Jisgraeefui for him to be directly
,oncerned in, add anytun.. - M- Tilden's
qualifications as candidate? Of course it
ioes not and Mr.. Tilden will find it out, in
ime. The Democracy next time will take
ess damaged politician for their nominee.
