Mr. Thomas U Platt, y picsl machine

domination for Senator in New York

men. There is no cause to wonder at the
continued domination of Mr.. Oonkling in
New York, when men who take pride in
such pit,ful little boast are those depended
on to oppose him. Their weakness aud
hypocrisy almost causes impartial specta
tors to IT joice in the real practical triumph
over them Mr. OonklinQ has won.
As to Mr.. Platts qualifications for the

to give the estimate of the Republican

One of the chief reasons for the present
land troubles in Ireland aid in England as
well, is the feet that the land for the most
part is tied up by entails. Thus the
nominal owner and occupant of the land
cannot sell 1t or make any other perma-
nent disposition of it. His interest In ii
Is only during his life, with the burden
perhaps of many charges to pay, He is
SO hampered by this state of things that
he can do but little to relieve the distress
growing out of this condition of affairs even
were he so inclined, which Is not very often
the case. II would be q great blessing if
the system OF entails could be absolutely
abolished and free sale of land made the
rule throughout the United Kingdom. OF
course, such a thing would cause q
tremendous sensation in England where
land has been made the basis of political
power and social distinction for ages, and
doubtless much real suffering would be
its immediate result, but who can doubt
that in the end It would prove beneficial
The immense landed estates of France
were cut up by the revolution and that
alone was worth all that the revolution
cost. England must finally come to the
same conclusion either as the result of a
revelation or without it. II she is wise
she will do II psacesbly while yet she
may.

For the last two years in the exhibit above

Our Dover letter describes an old charter
still existing which 1t would seem from it's
provisions Is liberal enough to permit :
railroad to be built from any point in this
State to any other point, and to allow any
conceivable combination by the company
with companies In other ststes. We doubt,
however, II these vague and sweeping
charters amount to much in the long run
We go further and doubt the propriety
of ever granting them. 10 sever flatter-
ing the prospect they may hold out in the
beginning of giving increased facilities
and lower rates for transportation, they
give opportunity when they achieve suo.
cess for just as great monopolies as those
they are intended to antagonists, and the
natural effect Of human selhshnesH is to
cause every corporation to get the
most 1t safely can out Of the
public for itself. We do not pretend
to know what the correct remedy for the
growing and already dangerous power OF
railroads is, but are inclined to think that
railway commissions empowered to compel
the truthful exhibit of the affairs and
workings of such corporations have
accomplished more thus far than any other
device.
But, while We do not believe In granting
loose aud indefinite charters to railway
companies, we hope the Legislature will
not hesitate to grant authority to any def
ute and we'll defined scheme for building

justice it esupot complain. It has no
right, thsu, to complain if the Legislature
grants charter and right of way through
this State to some company Intending to
build a link in new through line between
New York and Washington, but the
interests of the State demand that
this right shall be granted to
company with definite purpost
and with clearly defined privileges. We
do not want any loose legislation con-
ferring all sorts OF rights, such as art
conferred in the dormant charter de-
soribed by our Dover correspondent. The
TINS is coming when the Federal govern

serve the vital powers of government

The practical benefits OF specie resump
t,on In the business interests OF this
country are well illustrated by statistical
report which has just been made BY the
mercantile agency of Messrs. e Russell d
Co., of Boston, which shows the failures Oh
1880, as compared with those of preceding
years. From this report 1t appears tnat
last wear there we're only four thousand
seven hundred and fhirty-nVe
failures in the United States, which,
though seemingly large by itself, is hope
fully small in comparison with the fright
full total of ten thousands, four hundred
and seventy EIGHT which stands to int
credit of 1873, when business OF every
description was cursed with the ban
of an irredeemable currency. The
people VINO are howilng Tor
a return to the days when ,greenbsoks
ruled the financial roast should make d
note of the fact that two years OF honest
money have resulted in decrease of fvs
thousand seven hundred and forty-thret
in the number of annual failures since the
redemption of specie payments, reduc-
ton of over fifty -ive per cent.
The decrease in the aggregate OF
liabilities involved is still more significant
In the last year of irredeemsble money the
liabilities amounted to 1924 1888 600. IL
1889 they were only $50, 752, 900, large
enough in all conscience, but still clear
reduction in the figures of 1873 of over
seventy one per cent.
The report from which these figures are
CLEANED makes the following exhibit of the
failures in the U Lifted States during the
past SIX years.
