OCEAN PASSENGERS.

II may be well to remind those who are Interested
in complaints of passengers against management
of ocean steamships, that Il very considerable
relief will be afforded after the lst of November
neat by the Passenger act " of Congress. passed
at the last session. Many particulars OF ITS
provisions were given III HE TRIBUNE while the
bill was under discussion 1t applies to all
steamships and other vessels by which " emlgrant
passengers or passengcrs other than cabin passen-
gers " are brought from foreign country into The
United States. Whether owners of a steamship can
evade its stringent provisions by labelling a part
Of the vessel safer cabin" and calling the
passengers billcted there aftcrcabin pass'
remains to be decided. The intention seems to
have been to leave the rights of strictly first class
passengers to be governed by their tickets or
passage contracts and the rules of law declared
by the courts. but to extend over all Others the
protection of the new regulations In this view
" aiter-cabin passengers" assuming that they form
a class, paying Il lower fare. and expecting some
what inferior accommodations, would be within
the law they would be deemed "other than
cabin PASSENGERS But many of the regulations
prescribed would be practically inappcable to
them and are seemingly intended particularly for
steerage passengers or immigrants.
The new law prescrbes very definitely the
average space to be accorded to each passenger,
the parts Of tho vessel they shall enjoy un-
obsructed by cargo. the right of each passenger to
berth accommodations. directing how berths shall
be constructed; commands "A separation OF tho
sexes, with exception of married couples; regulates
the means of light, ventilation and cleanliness, the
construction of hatchways and starways hospital
accommodations and other equipments OF the
vessel for passengers use directs the food which
shall be supplied, forbids officers or crew to
haunt the passengers portion of the vessel or the
master to take aud carry explosives, or to allow
unauthorized persons to come on board the ship
at the port of arrival until the passengers have
landed
Independent of any such statute the rights OF
passengers are toerably well recognized in tho
courts; as is indicated by decision rendered last
year in our Court OF Appeals The complaining
passenger was Ia woman coming from Liverpool
10 New.York as Storage passenger. She
occupied lower berth, and through the
negligence or unskilfulness of the attendants in
charge, the tier of berths above her fell down In
the nighttime. and 1t became necessary to vacate
tho lower berths il o:der to make repairs. There

MORE TROVBLE WITH BLAINE.

We notice a fresh and acute alta ok of Blaine
phobia in quarters whore that peculiar disease
became periodic Several years ago. Mr. Blaine
has been thoughtless enough to wander away
from his home to publish magazine article
to make a speech, and to express his views
frankly upon certain public topics. This Iced
less conduct on his part has been the cause, as
he might have known it would be- of the fresh
outbreak we have mentioned. All the anti
Blaine monomaniacs are jumping about and
shouting: "There lie is again He is putting
aPresden tial bait under the peoples noses, and
" the first thing we know he will yankin his lines
"and catch a lot of delegates And then the
whole crowd gathers itself together and sends
a unanimous Shool" in the direction of the
dreadful man from Maine.
This is a curious and remarkable spectacle.
What we are unable to understand is Mr..
Blaine's obduracy. He knows he Is dead, for
hasn't he been told so at least hundred differ
ent finest How can he as a dead man be tue
cause of so much unhappiness IN the breasts
Of those still living2 No defunct person with
his heart in the right place could be guilty OF
such conduct. If he continues acting III this
way all the Blainephobists will be convinced
that he is not dead after all, and then there UHl
be a commotion among them.
And vet we do not see what else he can do.
If he goes home and remains perfectly quiet,
the result will be the same. All the victims
will smell conspiracy and a still hunt then and
will say "IIe must be playing ali awfully deeT
game now he is so quiet" The fact is, he is q
bold bad man. He will not remain dead, and
he will not conduct himself to please his enc
mics. For man who has no hold upon the
people, and no political future, he does re-
Guire an unaccountable amount of watching to
keen him from snatching Presidential NOM
nation.

the difficulty Is found which has not been
suggested thus far, the new jury will be open'
like the old, to the approaches OF star ROUTE
agents. Under Judge Wylie's ruling that each
of the defendants is entitled to four chal-
lenges, while the Government, there being but
one prosecution, Is entitled to three only
there will be twenty challenges for the de-
fence, the number of defendants being now re-
duced to FIVE. Add to this all the power
which the money of the Star Route defendants
gives them, and the help they derive from the
perverted public opinion in certain strata OF
life at the capital. and it will be seen that
there Is reason enough to fear that the second
trial may be no more successful than the frst'
1t is an instructive proof, however, of the
changed position of the principal defendants
that they should have left the impression that
they were secretly willing to see Rerdelfs con-
viction stand, though mildly joining In the
demand to have it set aside. Rerdells con-
fession to Messrs. James and Macy eagh was
admitted as evidence only against himself on
new trial, with Rerdell taken out of the box
by this conviction, it could not be admitted
at all, and the remaining defendants would De

of the jury as against his confederates. Inc
legal conviction of Rerdell was the moral con-
viction of the Dorseys and Brady. but they
seem to have been really willing to let 1t
stand rather than rim the risk of their own
legal conviction. This is what the long cam
paign of Star Route defence, which began with
the buying of newspapers and ended, appar-
entity, with the buying of jurymen, has amount
ed to-a campaign, not for vindication, such as
we were promised, but of legal technicalities
from first to last.
Wehave suggested that the country would like
to feel sure that the Government is in earnest
in the prosecution. There Is one way IN
which that earnestness can be shown. IL Is
for the proper authority to require that ex-
Senator George f.. Spencer, the distinguished
fugitive witness of the case, shall either
give himself up, or give up the Office which
he holds by appointment of the President
without the confirmation of the Senate. II
Mr. Spencer Is not good citizen enough to
come forward and give the Government the
benefit of his testimony in an important
prosecution, he is not good citizen enough to
hold prominent GOvernm office.

self nv n comparison of votes on test measures
and by the official record of the session whether
or not any of these members deserve to be re-
nominated. This Is information with which
voters are seldom supplied. 1t is at Albany
that the position of Mayor Low can be easily
undermined. 1t is there that the cause OF re-
snonsible self government in Brooklyn Is likely
to be BETRAYED. The club, therefore, refuses
to sunnort any candidate for Governor or the
Assembly who will not pledge himself to de-
fend and promote this fundamental principle OIL

This admirable programme VIII meet WIFI

lyn voters who are anxious to have the Dusl-
ness of the city transacted on business prln-
ciples without interference from the Leglsla-
ture and without obstruction in any of the local

honest voter to be told that both candidates III

The members of this club can make themselves

$50 members of the club in every ward. Such

THE RAG. TAG AND BOBTATL PARTY.

THE RAG, TAG And BObIhIL fHhIf.
An able and experienced Democrat is credited
with saying of his party: So long as 1t thinks
q to win by addressing itself to the rag, tag
and bobtail, so long will it remain out OF
control of the Government. When 1t comes
" To recognize the act that the conservative and
property holding interests of the North intend
TO rule and to hold the hummer elements
under subsection, then it will have chance to
come into power" This is tantamount to say
ing that the Democratic party will never come
into power. 1t has addressed itself so long to
the "rag, tag and bObtail that it can adopt
no other course. 1t puts itself under the con-
troll of the hummer elements ''as naturally as
ii duck swims. No matter what the issue may
be, the side of it which the bummers take Is
certain to he the Democratic side.
When Denis Kearney and the Hoodums
cry "away with tie Haythen Chinee." the
Democratic party not only takes up the cry
but FORCES a letter to help it along. When the
Irish dynamite operators, led by demagogues
of the Rosa stripe, cry out against an
American Minister who is an honor to his
country and a credit to her wherever he goes,
the servile Democratic press take up the cry
and demand his instant removal. When the
rumselers of the Western States say that
liquor shall not only go untaXed, but shall be
sold freely on Sundayas well rs Oh every other
day of the week, the Democratic party cries
amen, and throws its whole influence on the
side of the rumsellers and against society.
There has not been a prize-fghtcr, Il
dynamite Irish fend, rumseller or rowdy
of any kind for years who has thought OF
voting anything but the Democratic ticket.
We do not say that these are the only kind
of men in the Democratic party. There are
thousands OF upright, honorable patriotic
gentlemen there, but they are in very small
and pOwerless minority. If they were not
the party would take different course. Bat
as it exists to-day, as the Democrat we have
quoted observes, the "bummcr element Is
in control, or might as well be- The great
error of the party is, and always has BEEN

The report Of the Superintendent of Public
Schools for the first few weeks of the present
term shows that the attendance has increased
over that of last year. Many children are
not vet back from the country, so that the
demand for admission will continue for a
month. 1t is not surprising that the usual
cry fer more school-hOuses Is heard This Is
q matter that the Board Of Estimate and
Apportionment and the Board of Education
need to look at sQuarey. The latter board
presents its estimates in items 50 that the
officials who pass upon them may be obliged
to take the responsibility of the reductions
then if the sum to pay the teachers is cut down
the Commissioners of Education cannot be
blamed. The Board of Estimate and Appor-
tionment, tender of its own reputation as well,
always tries to make its reductions III lump
to avoid the responsibility of offending any
interest. So it goes, and in the end there is
no money to build school-houses. There ought
TO be q stop to this fooling. If these two
boards between them cannot provide sufficient
accommodations for the school children, per-
haps the Assembly next winter will be able
to give some attention to the matter. If the
legislators at Albany never do this city any
more harm by interference than to provide
for new school houses, nobody will be likely
to complain.
