THE FINDING ELL IN THE SENATE.

JdE TC-NDINU DIIL Nv IHI| Hb<-'-i IT,
Senator Bayard deserves credit for his able
speech yesterday. lie had been strongly
pressed, no doubt, as many other Democrats
have been, to favor a three pei cent bill rs
measure of party tactics, regardless of its effect
upon the public credit or the business interests
of the country. Probably he considered that it
would be another blunder, worthy even of tn"
party which has displayed IA phenomenal
capacity for laundering, if the Democrats
should become responsible fOI bill under
which Ietundng might fail. But his strong
argument shows that he was influenced by a
higher motive. He refused to take course
dangerous and costly to the country on account
of any partisan plans, wise or unWlse. 1t may
he said, in justice to Mr.. Bayard, that this is by
no means the first time he has refused to place
real or supposed interests OF party before the
interests of the country. If delay in IefLnding
is avoided by wise action in the Senate, good
share of the credit will be due to the Demo-
cratic Senator from Delaware.
Narrow notions of party tactics appear to
have not little influence with some of his as
sociates They are urged to support the House,
in its pretended preference for bonds bearing
the lowest rate of interest, on the plea that the
party will gain popularity ii it can claim that,
with substantial unanimty, it favored three per
cent bonds. The average Democratic DOliti-
cian-and there are several Of that size in the
Scnate-can conceive of no higher party tactics
than to make an appeal to the most ignorant
and preludiced sort of prOperty-h aters. His
only road to glory is to represent the passions
of the sens-culOtte. who hates anybody that has

if is represented that the Republicans are
merely tools OF the blOated bondholders, when
they propose to offer 3i2 per cent tor money.
The TRIBUNE has no words to waste upon
demagogues of this stamp. 1t is enough to say
that a Democratic rebellion, and the active and
loud-mouthed sympathy Of Northern Democrats
with that rebellion, compelled the Government
TO borrow vast sums OF money at 7.3 per cent,
and that the Republican party has steadily
forced down the rate OF interest until only FER
cent is now paid on most OF the debt, and it
proposes to cut down the rest TO GIG per cent, or
low Ell il possible.
The difference between the two parties Is just
here the Republicans would give power Ia the
Secretary of the Treasury to borrow at the
lowest rate possible, but, at all events, to pay
enough to make refunding success. But the
Democratic party, as represented by the
majority of its members in Congress, refuses to
give the Secretary power to borrow at all, I'M
less at q rate at which he does not believe that
it will be possible to borrow. In short, Re-
publicans want to refund the debt and cut
down the interest. The majority of Democrats
want to defeat Iefunding, and at the same time
to get chance falsely to pretend that they are
in favor of a low rate OF interest. There is
strong hope that refunding will be accom-

Complaint is made in the Georgia newspapers that
the members of the Committee on Commerce have
looked out for big appropriations for their own
States and have neglected the interests of other
States. As evidence it is cited that the River and
Harbor bill gives Georgia only $3.50, 900. Georgia
having no representative on she committee while
Texas is down for $4,000; Kentucky, $685.. 900:
Louisiana, $4,000 virginia, $258,OOO and
West Virginia $270, 000--each of which States has

that the Northern members Of the committee have
shown similar favOriism. All of which Is fresh
evidence that the average member OF Congress Is
absorbed in promoting his own reelection than

A trong effort ought to be made to send Repub-
lean to Congress from the IXth District, in place
of Fernando Wood. The district is decidedly Demo-
cratic III ordinary times but in the present disor-
ganizcd state of the City Democracy, hopeful and
probably successful contest could he made by the
Republicans, If they select an able and popular cali
didate. A large number Of Democratic votes were
drawn from Sr. Wood last fail. and his plurality was
only 1859. His personal prestige and leadership
cannot be transferred TO other Democrat in the
district. gam of one Republican vote in the
close y balanced condition of the new House is q
matter OF considerable Importance, ana should be
looked after by tho Republican State and City Com
mlt;ees. We believe the district bc carried, with
proper effort and Il firsl-rate candidate.

Mr.. Forsters resolution removing the canal
tolls upon westward bound freight was I'M

This result seems to have been secured oy
concession to the salt interest of Syracuse q
provision having been inserted that domestic
salt should pass both ways free OF
tolls. The resolution is likely 10
cause animated debate in the Assem-
bly. Unless its adoption would cause serious
embarrassment, owing 20 the Constitutional
provision which forbids an expenditure upon
the canals for maintenance and repairs IN any
one year larger than the total amount OF inc
previous years receipts, there seems 10
be no good reason why it should hOt
pass 1t is only another step, II a
long one, in the direction of the policy which
the State marked out several years ago, OF
steadily reducing tolls i'll order to checkmate
the railroads and protect the people for lalt
the year against combinations. If it is charged
that this is the beginning of a free canal 1t Is
only to be said in reply that the people OF
this State began long since TO regard Tree
canal as a possibility. and have seemed quite
calm about it.

An Eighth-ave. fat has long been recognized
as the appropriate abode of the mystic and
supernatural. 1t was III one of these awe-cOm-
peliing apartments that Madame Blavatsky
demonstrated her intimate relationship with
departed spirits and her knowledge of
the august secrets of sOrcery from the earliest
ages of Eastern civilization, and when she
departed for Bombay i'll company with the
Hierophant, commonly known here as Colonel
Olcott, it was felt that the transition from an

mystics was "a natural and easy one. II Mes

fiat, it would be felt that he had been guilty
of gross inconsistency and if Hypatia could
ever be sufficiently materaized to set up a
new academy, her first inquiry would ineylta-
bly, be for an eligible apartment upon the
broad avenue already cOnsecrated to the
service of SO many strange gods. 1t will not
surprise any one therefore to be told, rs may
be read i'll our local columns, that there is
ghost factory on that street, which turns out
one ghost, on the average, every four min
utes. This, for Eighth ave, Is a legitimate
business and it is pleasant to know that the
ghost market has not been excepted from the
influence of the great era of prosperity

The Assembly has passed the Tax CommiS-
sion resolution in the shape in which 1t was
received from the Senate. The resolution au-
thorlzes the appointment by the Governor OF
not less than three nor more than seven per-
sons, who are to form Commission to "couh-
sci with and aid " the Joint Committee
Taxation already created by the two houses
Indeed, the Commission is to occupy an en-
tirely subordinate position with reference to
the Joint Committee. It's action IS carefully
designated in advance as advisory action y;
it will not make its reports directly to the
Legislature, but through the Joint Committee,
and the members will not even be able to get
their pay without the certificate OF the
Joint Committee as to the number of days of
actual service performed. 1t is doubtful
whether experts of the rank needed in this
work will be eager to serve under such re-
strictions, and with so narrow field for in
dependent action. Ii would certainly seem
that the desired cooperation between the
Legislature and tie Commission might have
been secured without this persistent dwarfing
of the latter. If, however, well-Qualitied ex-
perts can be induced to serve, they ought to
have little difficulty in impressing their views
upon such committee as that of last year

The CHICAGO CAR STRIKE.

The strike Of the Chicago car conductors
and drivers has ended in the unconditional
surrender OF the car company fact
which may he regarded as evidence that
the aforesaid company could not contest
the claims Of the strikers. It is stated
that public sympathy in this case was
with the striking men. not only because
their situation was believed to be very
hard, but because the company had made
itself exceedingly unpopular by the penu.
robustness OF its service. 1t is somewhat
surprising, and perhaps encouraging. to
find the American people anywhere pro-
testing against and resenting the peculiar
ways Of most car companies. For a long
time it has appeared to be accepted. as in.
evitable that these companies should ignore
the comfort and convenience Of the public.
Ia ali large cities it has come to be recog-
nized as the normal state of things for half
the people who use the street cars to be
compelled TO stand, while on all special
occasions the companies have been tacitly
privileged to crowd as many people INTO a
car as it would hold, regardless of any con-
sideration but the number OF fares. There
is no other civilized country in the world
in which this sort Of thing would be sub.
mitted to, and if the popular acquiescence
in it in the United STATES is the result Of
democratic institutionsitisnota satisfactory
or commenda5le iesult 1t seems, how
ever, that in Chicsg, the people are awak.
ing to the consciousness that they have
some rights even as against street car COM
panies.
