in reconstruction that will not be palatable to
those who have so long enjoyed the pleasant
places, the high honors, and the benefits,
too, which these distinctions have conferred.
1t will go hard with distinguished Senators
to give up their charmanships, and the
power welded through them; to surrender
their private secretaries, who are main
tanned so literally at the public expense as
clerks TO committees; and to part with
favorites, who have been billctcd on the
Secretary or the Sergeant-at-Arms.
The sons, ncphcws, cousins, and brothers
in.law, who have been Illustrating in easy
bcrths, drawing large salaries, and figuring
as swells in the shoddy society Of Washing
ton, have very bad opinion OF the APP
preaching change in the Senate. Tho pros
pect Of being obliged TO pull Off their coats
and go to work in earnest, after dancing tho
German In winter and visiting the watering
places In summer as their chief occupation,
is quito discouraging to these gay and
festive patriots. They sec n sad day for the
country in the revolution that will send
them adriit, without bank account, call
ing, or IA resource to fall back upon, while
waiting on Providence for something TO turn
up. The departments will give shelter TO
some OF those who have most influential
connections but the rank and file will have
to shift for themselves.
Whom it Is considered how few men
shape and direct the legislation of the
country, and the immense power and inllu-
cnce they have exercised for more than
half generation, and during the most
eyentiul period Of our history, tho chief
significance Of the impending change which
so much alarms these minor interests, will
be best understood. JOHN SHERMAN is by
10 ;hcans the only one among these Scna
tors who has grown rich on a salary OF three
or five thousand year. Others who paid
high prices for their seats are believed 10
have made profitable investments. Others
still have had steady and large incomes as
retained counsel for corporation and COM
panies seeking friendly legislation or
drcading that which might prove adverse to
their interests. Some OF them hold very
high heads, and frown gravely on the job
bcrs who sell their votes and arc caught
with the scrip in their pockets. But under
the robes Of professional counsel, n great
deal OF very cheap virtue and very little in
tegrity may he covered.

Destitution and Suffering In the Eastern Part
of the city.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUE-Sir: We do
not think the present system adopted in our
city for tho relief Of the poor the best that could
have been suggested. and would therefore offer
to the public. through your columns an amend
ment. rs follows:
The parties who are able and willing 10 re-
lieve suffering humanity I'm this city form them
selves into ward associations and appoint some
OF thoir own numbers IA almoners Tor the ward.
The objects attained by this system would be-:
l. There would be no expense attached to the
distribution.
2. Every contributor would know almost to n
certainty where his donation went and who re-
ccived IT,
3. II would be almost impossible under this
system 10 have imposition. rs some OF the
donors would know all tho applicants for aid (:
aud last but not least the contr ibutors would
have an opportunity OF visiting the recipients
Of their charity and acquainting themselves
with the actual suffering around them.
We suggest this system on n broad basis. to
be carried through by business men Of each
ward. and to have no connection in any way
with either religious. city. or State societies for
like purposes; that il shall be kept clear from
all political interests. and that nothing but the
manhood and humanity Of the donors shall
control its action.
Personal observations in our own wnrd-the
Ihlrteenth-have suggested these improve
mcnts TO those who are chnritalily disposed and
who are willing to relieve human suffering. In
order TO test tho system we will offer S25 as thc
first donation to q society Of the character de-
scribed In the Thirteenth Ward provided re-
sponsiblc men will take hold OF tho matter.

Coming Chnnrcs In the sennte.

From 1850 down TO the present time the
post Of Secretary Of the Senate Of the
United States has never once been held by a
Southern man. 1t is remarkable that in
these ninety years only six persons have
filled the Office. Massachusetts and New
Hampshire furnished the Secretaries from
1883 to 1925, or thirty-siX years; Pennsyl-
yanla from 1925 10 1865, or forty-throo years
and California since 1868, With GUHHAAl, the
present incumbent
Until the advent Of FORNEY, from 1861 TO
lsGs, politics had little to do with the adj
ministraton Of the Office; hut he introduced
tho practice Of rcwardn8 friends and pun
lshing suspected enemies ON an extensive
scale. This practice his successor has con-
tinucd, until the whole clerical force may
now be said 10 be- little more than colcc-
ton Of the pets and partisans of the Re-
publican Senators. Under the existing or
ganizatun, the Secretary is little more than
"A mere iigurehead. He has surrendered
his authority and hardly maintains even
the empty form Of discipline.
Ofcomsc, when the Democrats como into
power they will not forget the example Of
their predecessors during the last eighteen
years They may thus give them some lessons

The State Canals.

Public opinion in the State is growing
more favorable to the canals, especially the
Erie Canal and its three II. ain tributaries.
For several years previous TO the initiation
OF the reforms Of Gov. TILDEN, the canals
had become so burdensome 10 the Treasury.
and were such prolific sources OF corruption,
that some Of our most intelligent public
men began to advocate their sale to private
parties on almost any terms.
The tide Of opinion was gathering
strength in that direction every year, when
Gov. TILDLN, in 1915, made the assault on the
Canal Ring. After severe contest, he and
his conductors broke up this band Of plum
dercrs. one Of these CONDUCTORS was LUcIUs
RonlShoS, who was then Comptroller and is
now Governor. In the Executive Chamber
he has giyena fresh stimulus 10 the policy
of his predecessor; and the result Is that
our canal system has been saved from ruin.
The recent change in the mode Of man
aging the canals has aided in reaching
this end. by substituting one Supcrin-
tendcnt Of Public Works for three Commits
eloncrs, the State has secured unity Of adj
mulstratlun, and this has been followed by
an Increase OF efficiency and Il reduction of
expenses in every branch Of the service
The statistics in the Governors message
and accompanying documents relating to
this subject are gratifying, For example,
the total payments on account Of the canals

DICKINSON = testimony on which the verdict was
obtained. Mrs CoBB is accused Of numbering
her husband in Norwich, Conn that she might
marry lover named DisHor; aud il she should
be convicted il would be- on BISHOPS testimony.
These strikingly similar cases naturally excite
the remark that women are more constant than
men in murder rs we'll as in love. But the hang
ing Of THOMAS Down in St. Andrews y. b.. on
Monday, furnishes a contrary instance. DowD
and Mrs WARD murdered Mr.. WARD. Neither
turned States evidence. and both wcrc con-
victed. Down maintained TO tho last in the
face Of the most convincing proof. that he alone
was guilty. Although few believed him. his
persistency gave protext FOR avoiding the
hanging OF woman. and her death sentence
was committed 10 Imprisonment. So DowD died
with tho consciousness that no had saved his
criminal partner from the gallows.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1879-01-16

at the Same time that the annual cost OF
running them is diminishing. The total
tonnage afoat on the canals ia 1877 was
495j,OOO tons. This past year it was $780,
600 tons. Unless some great calamity
should overtako the country such as gen
oral failure Of crops in the Northwest, there
seems no reason to doubt that the tonnage
will show an advance next year.
Notwithstanding all this, the Canal Ring
Is by no means exterminated. 1t lives 1t
lies in wait. 1t is sleeplcss. 1t Is trcess.
IL is remorseess. 1t controls some Of tho
Democratic and some OF tho Republican
leaders. 1t is in the chambers OF both
branches Of the Legislature, and rules In tho
Hobbies OF the new Capitol. Nothing but the
utmost vigilance can thwart its purposes TO
again seize the revenues derived directly
and indirectly from the canals Of the State.

argued before the General Term OF the Su-

fcaton q the failure to comply with tho calls OF

Common Council az TO impropor means on the
part of tho officers of the Old bridge company TO

that ample provision was made by the law OF

bring their expenditures within such limit. and
that tho structure will DO one-third uncom-

After lively and interesting debate, pro-
tracted into the evening, the House passed the
bill reported by Mr.. FERNANDO WooD from the
Ways and Means Committee 10 enable small de-
positors 10 deposit their savings with the Gov
eminent. In exchange they are 10 get certin cates
OF deposit. for il0 each, bearing 3 per cent
interest. These certificates are to be convertible
at any time into per cent. bonds; and ali the
money thus deposited with the Government is
to be- applied exclusively to the payment OF the
ayc-twentes. The vote ON tho bill stood III
to72.
Foremost IN opposing It were Mr.. KELLEY Of
Pennsylvania and Mr.. BUTLER Of Massachu-
sets. Both denounced il vehemently IA a sham,
from which the poor laboring man would not
gct the slightest benefit Tho former detected
in it deep game Of the ShYlocks OF the
Stock Exchanges" lie moved as an amend
mcnt that tho certificates be made con-
vortiblo az tho end OF six months
into lawful money, but the House
voted him down. Mr.. WooD explained that the
idea WAS 10 create q national savings bank in
which the poor mans money should be nbsu-
lutey safe. Mr.. BANKS feared tho effect OF
his on tho existing savings banks, and
Mr.. BUTLER denied that tho dopositor's
money would be- safe; the real purpose
Of The bill, he thought, WAS to stil further con-
tract the currency. Apparently the House did
not ogreo with Mr., BUTLER.
LATER, the House passed another bill reported
by Mr. WOOD, making legal-tendrr notes re-
ceyable for all customs dues. DE- GoLyER GAR
FIELD tried To nibuster against it, aud was
promptly squochod.

at the last moment there was postponcment

such is often tho fate Of gift enterprises. biz
