Tho completion of The new French cable
Yesterday and Che successful transmission o.
y message If congratualion from Massachu-
setts to France mnrk what bids fair TO be
new era in ocean tclecGaphy. The mere COM
pletion of n new cable would be n matter or
minor importance 10 the commercial world.
Submarine tclcgraphs have grown to DE an
old story In the twenty years since America
hlazcd ont with enthusiasm over the triumph
of Cyrus W. Field, and Queen victoria
tccgraphod her congratulations to President
Buchanan. More than 200 submarine caoieS
of various lengths have been laid III dillereht
quarters of the globe, and most OF theh
are in active operation. This new ffehch
cable is the sixth that has been land between
this country and Europe, and yct-here Is the
significant fact-up to this ti:ne We have beeh
in the bonds of a telegraph monopoly quite as
imnrcgnable Ms that which existed when there
was but one line across the Atlantic. Gable
has swallowed up cable az the serpent OF
Aaron swallowed up the serpents OF the
soothsayers.
The feature Of vital importance to the
public in this enterprise is tins: That the new
COMPANY, in order to secure from the United
States Government the privilege of landing
its cable has entered into a formal pledge
that there shall be no amalgamatiOn or con
solidaton with any other line, and no
combination with it to regulate rates.
The complny has also entered into m ex-
actly similar agreement with the French Gov
eminent, from which it derives its charter
powers. Thus the public on both sides of the
Atlantic is secure. When it is added to this
that the telegraph company which VIII coop
crate with the new cattle in this country is a
young and enterprsing organization, full Of
energy, and determined to fight its way to
success, the general interest in this matter is
clear enough. The new enterprise means
honest competition, md honest competition
always means benefit to the public.

THE DEMOCRATS And THE THRIFT.

1t is reported that an effort is to
be made ut the next session OF Con-
gress to effect some change in the tariff,
as measure of Democratic policy. Hints
have been thrown out in Democratic Journals
not infrequenty since the disastrous elections,
that the party must now place itself upon n
new platform, and devote itself during the
coming session of Congress to the work of
reforming taxation. 1t has been said that
the questions on which the party has appealed
unsuccessfully to the people must be dropped /;
that its traditional attachment to non-inter-
ference in matters of taxation must now be
revived and that the Democrats will at an
early period be called upon to adopt AS a
party measure, some act materially changing
both the internal revenue and the tariff
laws.
No doubt it will be convenient TO some
Democratic candidates and politicians if this
question can be forced upon public attention
TO the exclusion of Others which the party has
for some years made most prominent. Per-
haps it has not occurred TO those who de-
vised this plan of attack that the Democratic
party has lost its possibility of success at the
West, and by confession of its own ableSt
leaders must now depend for success upon the
votes of n few Eastern States. In these States
assuredly it can gain nothing by policy of
hostility to the existing tariff. In respect to
internal taxation, its reduction of the tax on to-
bacco effected at the last session, was intended
by the Democratic party to strengthen it in
the Southern and Western States, but has had
little other effect than to dishearten those who
had hoped for an intelligent revision of laws
relating to taxation. If changes of tariff are TO
be made with as little good sense, and with as
strong disposition toward demagOgisn, the
cause of Free Trade will have little cause to
thank those who can now come forward as its
champions.
For nearly twenty years the conduct of public
affairs in matters of taxation has been with
the Republican party. The magnificent
growth of the country, in industry. in wealth
and population, has led many who have been
strongly opposed to the Republican party in
respect to the economic beliefs upon which il
has acted, to question the wisdom of their
own conclusions. While men differ widely as
to the practical effect of Republican legsla-
ton, there is a general feeling that 1t he's re-
suited most happily for the country. An able,
earnest body of men. seeking 10 impress upon
public opinion the desirabeness of changes
in the methods of taxation, might perhaps
accomplish something 1t Is impossible that
anything good should be accomplished by the
politicians who seek 10 use the question of taxa
ton for the benefit of the Democratic party.

LITTLE BIT OF A 'BOON.n

Isn't the "boom" business in danger of
being just trihe Overdone They have
reached point already where the average
politician can get them at about the rate Of
two for cent. The very latest is an Adams
boom touched off in New York and explod-
ng-or rather fixing in a wet way-at Spring
field, Mass. A New-York correspondent makes
to a Spring. newspaper revelation of
what would have happened il Robinson had
been elected, and what is about to happen,
he having been defeated. Had he been elected
we are told that there would have been n
Robinson boom" started; that it was all
arranged at Albany 10y the local junta to start
him as a candidate for the Presidency imme-
diately on the heels of bis successful canvass
for Governor, Just as Tilden was put on the
track after his election in "a, and that Con-
troller Olcott, Mayor Cooper, Allan Campbell,
John Bigelow and Andrew II. Green were all
in the secret Mr.. Tilden is not known to
have been a party to the understanding, but
his consent to it was counted on. The defeat
of Robinson ended the BOOM" this CORE
spondent says, and disposed of one more
rival of Tilden, Robinson being laid out
as cold as Thurman or Ewing. This
Is revelation No. l. and only dis
closes the untimcly fate of what might
have been "boom." but wasn't.
The second revelation is that Tiiden is
in favor of the nomination by the Demo-
Gratis of Charles Francis Adams. There is
only one thing funnier than this Ia the let
ter. and that is the twin " revelation" that
Tilden is reluctant 10 run again, and desires
60 evade the hardships and the turmoil of
another canvass for the Presidency" This
fact, the writer says, has been closely kept
"in the inner circles Of the Tilden clique,
and there he seems to be shouting" There
never was a secret SO well kept as Tilden's
reluctance 10 run again. We doubt in
deed, If this revelation" impairs its
value rs a dead secret. But his can
didate. for various reasons which the writer
sets forth. is Charles Francis Adams-whole
ticket, Adams and Bayard. The correspon-
dent says it Is a big thing, and thinks that
when Tilden rises to that nomination In the
next convention of the party 1t will be "a
"colophon TO that page OF our political his
tory" 1t undoubtedly will. Also colo
"phon" for the Democracy. Mr.. Adams has
"colophon about once year. and 1t will

"RUNNING ON THE BY-LAUSy

That was a rather discouraging state of
affairs, from a religious point of view. which
the Western missionary found in the family
of one of his parishioners. With view to
devotional exercises, after some serious con-
yersation, he called for Bible. The old
lady upon whom he was calling, and who
seemed to be a very devout person, began
hunting the house over, but was unable to
find more than two leaves of the good book,
which she handed over with the remark {;
"Thero's all l can find, | declare. I'd no idea
eve were so near out" The State of Kentucky
seems TO be worse off politically than the old
lady was religiously. y question having
arisen recently regarding the jurisdiction of
the Court of Appeals 1t was found that the
clause of the Constitution under which the
law providing for the appointment of the
Judges syas enacted was essentially different
as it appears III the General Statutes, from
the clause on the same subject as adopted by
the Convention, signed by the delegates and
published by authority of the State in
the Debates of the Convention The dis
crepancy Is so fatally irreconclable that
the only thing to be done was to go TO
the original sources and learn the real state
from garnet to cellar, through the State ar
chives, no engrossed copy of the Constitution
could be found. So Kentucky is not merely
pretty nearly. but absolutely. "out" of Con-
stituton, and is apparently doing what the
hummer proposed after his Constitution was
used up" running on the bylaws"
Probably no State IN the Union has been so
exercised about the Constitution of the United
States for the past five or six years as the
State of Kentucky. No. State has had so
many able-bodied mep on hand willing to
drop everything at moments notice to go
TO Washington and stand round the Capitol
supporting the Constitution. IL will be re-
membered that at one time in the year 1877,
when the Democratic party feared that some
thing was going to happen to the Constitu-
ton. tina Hon Hanry Watterson, then q men,
