Controller Campbelis resolution, offered in
the meeting of the Sinking Fund Commission
ers yestei day, makes an inter sting statement
of the practical effect of the Union Ferry
lease This was one of the brilliant cOncep-
tons of the Tweed Ring whereby the city
RENTED the annual rent oil 500. 600 for the
BROOKLYN ferries in consideration of a reduc-
ton of the toll during four hours of the day
to cent. This was set forth as an act of
great generosity by the Company, and noble
GIFT to the people by the Ring, the fact that
the reduction might justly have been required
without foregoing the rent being calmly TO-
nored. Mr. Campbers figures show what
neat profit the Company made by its bcnevO-
lent act. In the wear following the reduction.

Mr.. Bayard suffered yesterday the punishment
which he has earned by often going with his
party when he knew his party was taking him
the wrong way. The man of good character
and general fairness who still has not the
courage to stand out against his party to the

with it confers upon its course the sanction
of his reputation, incurs responsibility when

Mr. Bayard has too often accepted that respon-
sibllity not to know what the opinion OF falr-
minded men of either party must be. fester-
day Mr.. Hoar. who we'll enough represents the
tair-minded American, although his politics

respecting the moral significance of the ALI

Sketch of Gail Hamilton.

There seems to be considerable misinfor-
nation about Gail Hamilton's exact rela-
ton to secretary of state Blaine. Some
papers speak of her as Mr.. Blaines sister,
in law; others seem to be under the inn
preston that she is his adopted daughter;
while others again are sure that she is anear
blood relative. She is neither of these
things, but merely cousin of secretary
Blaine's wife, and the daughter of clergy
man named Dodge. The family seat is in
Hamilton, Mass, hence her pseudonym.
She is not married, and she is not poor
relative, as also many people appear to sup
pose. Several years ago she wrote that she
had q house of her own, owned land, paid
taxes, helped to support the minister, sub
scribed to home and foreign missions, did
the marketing, grumbled over expenses just
like brother, and did other things which
only free and independent citizens could
do. As an enthusiastic Westerner would
say, Gail Hamilton is no SLOUGH Of man. :"
