True to party traditions, the Democratic
Senators have begun to do their part in bank
batting. They voted yesterday against the
proyiso which the Senate committee had in
serted in the House bill to extend the charters
of the National banks, to exempt these
corporations from the operation of at
tachments and iDjunctions issued by State
courts. The clause was rejected by
vote of 81 to "a. The existing law gives the
Federal courts sole jurisdiction in regard to
these banks the House inserted clause CIV
ing the State courts jurisdiction. The Senate
committee properly favored the proviso in view
of the control over the banks exercised by the
Secretary of the Treasury and the Controller
of the Currency. Any measure, however, that
can possibly cause annoyance to National
banks is sure of Democratic favor.

The attitude of the foreign steamship lines on
the immigration Question is not praiseworthy.
They make great deal of money on this Storage
passenger traffic, and being foreign corporations
they pay comparatively little to the city, State
OF nation. Still they expect us to tax ourselves
heavily for their benefit. Whatever advan-
tage there is a6oat they absorb. When the law
taxing them a moderate sum for each immi-
grant landed was declared unconstitutional,
they did not reduce their fares by that amount.
Since then they have been putting this pleas
ant profit in their pockets, and have become so
much attached to it that some of them cannot
readily make up their minds to part with 80
cents of it, Two companies, however, have
decided TO pay the charges, and Castle Garden
and the institutions on " ards Island are of so
much convenience and value to them that
doubtless the other lines will soon agree to
bear their share of the expense necessary to
keep them going,

FAILuRE OF LIQUOR HOUSE.

The Wholesale liquor house of Edward Owen d
Co., of No. Dey-st has made an assignment, With
sioner of Accounts. Mr.. Owen said yesterday that
the liabilities were about $SO,0O0 and that the
nominal assets were more than SUFFICIENT to cover
the liabilities if the business had gone on but he
could not tell what they would realize i'll the hands
of the assignee. Owing to the extreme dulness in
reduction Of the tax whiskey In Congress- W Inch
stopped sales of goods in bond. the firm could not
readily realize on whiskey on hand; collections
were very slow, and one person pressed his clalm
so il was decided 10 make an assignment. Mr..
Owen has been in business In this city and New
Orleans for many years and it is expected that he
viii obtain q settlement from his creditors and con-
Time.

AN ECONOMICAL ADMINISTRATION.

Ripley Ropes, Commissioner of City Works in
Brooklvn announces his intention 70 readJust the
salaries paid TO subOrdinates in his department
HIS theory which he proposes to put into I'M
mediate practice, is that the compensation of a
public officer should be gagged, first, by the amount
and value OF the labor performed, and, secondly by
the fitness of the occupant OF the place Inc CON
ditiOns, Z" the boys" say are inconsistent; but Mr.
Ropes has made up his mind irrevocaDly that the
work shall be well done, and that men COM
petent to do il shall be selected, and none
others This is in the exact line OF Mayor
Lows policy The new machine in Brooklyn is
working much more smoothly than was expected so
far as the Mayor and his Commissioners commonly
called his "Cabinet"J are concerned. Working
smootbly-that is TO say, far as the interests OF
the city are concerned-but the professional point,
clans are disguised. "Cut down salaries indeed, "
said one heeler" IN presence Of large crowd OF
excited placemen last night at Westinghouse, ana
Myrtle-aye; "what does Ropes mean by splitting
up the party in this way that's no q way to
Tow-Ropes man who had joined the company of the
Indignant: isn't a reduction OF expenses exactly
what was promised in the Low campaign and
didn't Mr. Ropes get out OF the race TO give Low
chance7" Certainly, he did" was the reply, Dut
pretty mess he has made Of lt--cuttlng down
salaries and appointing Democrats to office instead
Of Republicans" And SO the pot goes on boiling.
The fact is that the new municipal experiment IN
Brooklyn is creating a pattern which is likely TO
find echoes In many cities the professions OF re-
forrn In local methods having taken tangible
sbape. which attracts general attention.
