SENATOR MCDONALD, of Indiana, has
introduced bill to subject greenbacks
70 taxation like all Other property. Ev-
cry congressman or senator who votes
against this bill should be spotted. There
Is no earthly reason why holders OF
ereenbacks should escape their share OF
taxation. In bearing The public burden
there should be no privileged classes.
The bond holders are exempt because OF
their patriotism" during the war, al
though it was not patriotism but specu.
lation that made them loan to the gov
ernment. On what grounds can the
holder of greenbocks be exempted? 1t
Is strange the people do not look inquir-
ingly int this subject.

A JUST RErRIBU~IoS las overtaken John
Kelly Mayor Cooper's appointment for
city comptroller was confirmed by the
board of aldermen and John Kelly is left
ont in the cold. Four of the Tammany
aldermen voted for confirmation and thus
destroyed the last chance of tue Boss.
The defeat of Kelly viii bring Joy to the
heart Of every true democrat in the land,
and will be received with qualification by
all who are opposed to the boss system
IN politics. Bosses, cliques and ring
aters are ceasing to be controlling ele.
ment in politics, and it is well that is
is so.

COUNTING THE ELECTORAL
VOTE.

1t is amusing to read the objections
made to the adoption of g resolution by
both houses of congress relative to the
counting of the electoral vote. In 1876,
it Was contended by number of repub-
licans that the vice president had the
sole power 70 count the electoral votes,
that be was supreme In this particular
Senator Conkling, an Intense republican,
although a man who cannot be counted
upon with certainty to act contrary to
his convictions of right in the interests
of his party, took sides against the right
Of the vice president to count the votes
and made an argument of such ability
that If effectually silenced those who con-
tended that this right was vested In one
man. A rule was adopted by the repub-
lican congress prior to 1876, giving con-
gress the right to count the votes. In
1876 the House was democratic. The
means employed to get majority of the
electoral votes for Hayes were of such
character that they could not be counted
for him unless those managing the court
were Predetermined to recognize Hayes
title without regard to equity. This is
Why the surprising claim that the vice
president or president of the senate had
the supreme power of determininS who
! was elected president was advocated SO
strenuously. The president of the SEN
ate would without question count in
Hayes, regardless of protests or the in
| justice done. The electoral commission
was so organized that majority were in
favor of counting in Hayes without re-
ference to the justice of his claims. The
electoral commission proved as effective
an instrument of injustice as the presi-
| dent of the senate could be.
This year both houses are democratic;
! the vice president is republican. No
body questions the election of Garfield.
| But republicans look long way ahead.
| -Four years from now they may need to
employ some agency sufficiently potent
| to invalidate the will of the people. The
| political complexion of the two houses
| Of congress cannot be foreseen. The
repeal of joint rule giving congress the
light to canvass the votes may be neces
sary, and such a summary proceeding
might cause a reaction against the des-
potic acts of the party. A precedent in
1881 will be valuable in 1884 The vice
president is theirs and he will canvass
votes agreeably to the instructions of his
party. There is prospect that both
houses will be republican after March 4.
A joint rule for the canvass of votes may
be adopted which will give victory to the
republican party without attention to the
wishes of the people. If joint rule of
this kind cannot DE carried, the question
is open with the precedent of 1881 as a
guide. Who will say the republican
party is not a shrewd and far seeing one2
The re adoption of the joint rule which
was the child of a republican congress,
rolo gives congress the power of electing
president. Why does not the power of
counting the votes, given the vice presi-
dent, which republicans advocate, make
him president maker? Republicans
will do all they can to obstruct the adop-
ton of the rule. Are they not acting SO
as TO make an extra session necessary

"Halls. The advice is good, not only
for New York but for other places as
well. Let the "bosses" go. They are

"bossism" is done away with in other
places the democratic party will go under

Col. WATRoUs speaks in rather hard
terms of Sherman's declaration that Nc
Dowell should be retired from the army.
But it mus not be forgotten that General
Sherman's "scheming" was because of
the forced retirement of Ord. Why
should Ord be retired and not Mcdowell?
There are two sides to this question as
there is Of Sherman's treatment of Grant.
A great many believe that Sherman is the
greatest general developed by the late
war and that Grant clipped the budding
honors on his brow to make chaplet for
himself. General Sherman does not de-
scend into the mire of politics nor is he a
bone of contention and source of
trouble as to "what shall be done with
him. He has earned the country's
gratitude and does not make his services
a basis for demands of continued public
fayors.

SENATOR BAYARp is in little difficulty
with Arthur, Boutwell,. Conkling and
Noah Davis. In a speech last fail he was
reported as having charged these men
with taking $4,000 from large mer-
camille firm which had attempted to de-
fraud the government out of custom
duties. Mr.. Bayard in letter to Conk-
ling on the subject states that he did not
charge him with having received the
money from the firm in dishonest way,
that it was compensation for services as
counsel. But it is matter of fact that
half the sum taken from the firm, after
the payment OF costs, went into the pock-
cts of the men named. There was color
OF law for the proceeding, but it goes to
prove the corrupt purposes which the
laws may serve.
