DIRTY UTILITY

few years subsequent TO the war TIE
TRIBUNE devoted an article to answering the
question, " Can the Republican party disband ?"
The Democratic press Of that day was quite
sure, or at least it pretended to be, that the
Republican party had no further excuse for
living that it had exhausted its mission, and
that all that remained for it to do was TO give
up the ghost and pass into history. The
TRIBUNE held otherwise. 1t argued that the
party that had been the right arm of the Gov
ernment during the war was still necessity
if the fruits of the war were to be preserved.
Some months before this article appeared a
Democratic leader-he was the Democratic
leader just then-arose III his place in the
Senate of this State and offered a resolution
recalling New-YOrks ratification of one of
the vital amendments to the Constitution of
the United States which the Republicans had
engrafted upon that instrument in order firmly
to secure by organic law what had been
achieved by the sword. THE TRIBUNE pointed
tc this act of an influential Democrat as a
characteristics and most suggestive partisan
effort to turn back the hands ON the dial, and
declared that while the spirit for which the act
stood dominated the democracy. the Republic
can party was prime necessity that 1t could
not disband without serious detriment to the
safety and prosperity of the Republic.
Well, the Republican party did not disband.
Its conspicuous failure either to do or to
give way for a Democratic restoration deeply
panied its opponents, but by the will Of The
majority it continued in the ascendancy, in
palpable disregard of their feelings. And
what it had done for the country during the
war and by means of the war amendments it
fifty supplemented by it's scourse in regard to
the vital question of the finances. Here and
there Republican statesman found the ma
lign pressure too great and surrendered to the
soft money, the fiat money the dollar of the
daddy money element. But the Republican
party, as whole, threw its influence in the
right direction. 1t was, in fact, the bulwark
against which the fierce waves of financial
quackery so threatening to our National honor
beat in vain The Democratic party, passlon-
ately yearning to return to power, became all
financial things to all men. In the East il was
for hard money ; in the West for soft. This
sending principle to the rear and calling ex-
pediency to the front was reflected in the
Democratic National ticket, whose head (Til-
DEM was expected to please financial Ortho-
doxy, and whose tail (IIendricks) was counted
upon to catch all the financial heretics and
free-thinkers. Looking back to that great
financial era which may be said to have closed
with resumption, we see that the Republican
party, in justice to the Nation, its own patriotic
impulses and achievements, could no more
have disbanded so long as the financial prob
lem remained unsolved than it could have

4 Bad EXAMPLE FROM BROOKLYN.

The Brooklyn primaries of the Republican
party do not decide which faction is to be in
control of the General Committee of Kings
County for the ensuing year. The result is
indefinite as yet; the majority is small, no
matter which faction has wen, and in tho new
organization Of the Committee neither faction
will have working majority. We may,
therefore, look forward for at least year to
come, to the same wcangling and jarring and
pickering which not only made the meetings
of the Kings County Committee ridiculous.
but which so weakened the Republican party
in the last election az to reverse the pro-
nounced victory of their local ticket at the
election of 1881.
1t is unfortunate that the primary elections
of the party in Brooklyn should have followed
so closely upon the election which engendercd,
both in the conduct of the canvass and in the
disastrous result, so much bitterness between
the Administration and Anti Administration
men, Time might perhaps, have allayed some Of
this feeling of animosity, and it might also have
taught some common sense to those who have so
evidently run counter TO the popular feeling In
the party regarding Administration Interference
in State elections. Moreover, as the first of the
primaries held in the State since the election,
the close and bitter contest in Brooklyn is not
unlikely to encourage the Administration men
who are in control of the machinery of the
party to hold on to it, in defiance Of the popular
will SO Enthusiastically expressed. Such an effect
would tend to delay until after the next cleo
ton the thorough reorganization of the Repub-
licans, which must be preliminary and is alb
solutely necessary to success in 1884. Such
delay would be well nigh fatal.
There is, without doubt, great deal of dis
satisfaction, as well as disappointment, ut this
indefinite result among Republicans who voted
for, as well as among those who refused to
support, the Saratoga ticket. The former feel
chat their Administration leaders in the county
ought to recognize the call to step down and
out of the control, and the latter insist that
thev shall do SO. TO all such dlsallected per-
sons in view of the probable inefficiency of
the Committee to be organized we have but
single piece of advice TO give. Cast your lot
temporarily with the Young Republican or
panizatlon, and swell its numbers until by its
strength and influence it can compel q har-
mony and union which at present the factions
do not seem disposed to accept.

THE NEW.JERSEY SEy1T0PSHYP

The Hon. John p. Stockton is not quite sure
but that this is good year for him, and lie is
therefore giving his personal attention to the
members of the coming Legislature of Now
Jersey, If any Democrat has a clear title to
Favorits Sonship, Mr.. Stockton is the man,
and he certainly enjoys warm place in the
affections of his party 1t is a misfortune that
his purse is so much shorter than Mr.. McPher-
sons. Ashbel Green, esq, is also willing to be
knocked out again in one short, sharp and de-
clsive round. And then, hope springs eternal
in the breast of Ex-Governor Bedle.
All these are men OF Senatorial stature,
but Mr. Mcpherson declares that he is not dis
mayed by their Vaccinations. And rs for the
Hon. Hezekiah Smith, Mcpherson is sure
that he is only clustering to make the Con-
trollership for his ilustriOus relative, Andrew
Jackson Smith Mr.. McPherson's confidence
ought not to be misplaced, The Legislature
was elected with his money and the money
friendly corporations helped him to- aud why
shouldn't he have his own And yet rcpub-
lies arc sometimes ungrateful, and there are
legislators who insist on being paid for more
than once Mr.. Mcpherson should bear in
mind the great truth that the Hon. Hezekiah b.
Smith, of Smthville, is a wealthy and ambitious
citizen.

The opinions of lawyers about the new
Penal Code have to be taken with this allow
ance that few members of the bar are familiar
enough with criminal law to know Just what
effect this newest legislation will have We
shall have to wait and let the Code work out
its own salvation or condemnation. One of
the general criticisms made, however, has a
good deal OF force. 1t is in regard to the pro-
visions governing Sunday observance. In
this enlightened day it ought not to be necCs-
sary to keep laws which are never Obeyed in
the statute books merely for the sake of APP
pearances. Either enforce the laws or remove
them from the code.

If Congress can find the time. amid the
many duties which will crowd upon it during
the coming session, 1t viii do well to give the
Yellowstone National Park little attention.
The annual report Of the superintendent points
out that the money at bis disposal is entirely
insufficient TO protect the beauties and Won
ders of the place from DETACHMENT All of it
goes to improving the means of getting into
the Park. The work of destruction is carried
on by tourists, armed even with picks and
cIowbars to assist them in senseless ruin. 1t
is pretty commonly admitted, now, that moth
ing but laws rigidly enforced will keep tray
ellers from INDUCING their mania for melnen-
toes. If Congress cannot see its way clear to
make sufficient appropriation, 80 that the
Park can be protected, it might better make
none at all. Then the work of improving the
roads would stop, AID the difficulty OF reach

We lately stated, on the authority OF a member of
the Delaware County Republican Committee. that
tbe Committee had never received so much a cent
from Mr. Crosby-the member of the state Commit
fee for Delaware, ChenangO and Otsego Counties
of the funds placed In his hands by the State Com
mittee And we coupled the statement with an in
yitatlon to Mr.. Crosby to rise and explain. Mr.
Crosby accordingly writes to THE TRIBUNE to say
that he paid over principally to the members of the
Delaware County Committee, over 800. 1t would
seem, therefore, that either Mr. Crosby trust
worthy member of the Delaware County Committee
is laboring under serious mistake. Mr.. Crosby
further assures that the state Committee did not
receive enough contributions to pay their actual
debts But member the State Committee whose
opportunities for knowing whereof he spoke were
presumably good as Mr.. Crosbys. has informed
The TRIBUNE that $40, 900 of the entire
amount received by the Committee remains unac
counted for. Here Is another serious conflict Of
statement. When committeeman disagree who
shall decide Mr.. Crosby is very anxious to know
the sources Of our iuformation Facts, Mr. c.. are
the essential things-those the Republicans of this
state are anxious to hnyo in regard to this matter
and we purpose if possible to crafty them. But
they do not care plcayune about the sources from

to inquire.

The Mutual Aid Union-Policles
PAYABLE at Marriage.


The New Orleans Mutual. aid Union is
one OF the greatest successes Of the day.
Though organized less than three months.
it has issued policies covering over $500, 900.
Il Rs agents at work in all the Southern
States, and is pushing its business with great
energy. The business became SO great that
II was necessary for the president to give il
the greater part of his time. Mr.. Todd's
business would not allow him TO do this
and he resigned the presidency, but remains
an active member Of the board OF directors.
Major J. P. Longley was recently elected
president and is giving the Union his entire
time. The prospects for the success ofthe
Union are good. 1t has one advantage over
other similar associations: 355 per cent Of its
general fund is used to create sinking fund
which II necessary, will be used In paving of
marriage claims. BY the use OF the sinking
fund the assessments will be greatly lessened
and the payment OF certificates are made
certain The Union is not private enter
prise or speculation. Every member of the
board of direction is interested in it, and
all are mutually united to make it success.
The plan Is perfectly feasible. When a
member of the Union marries allthe others
are assessed, according to their class, to pay
him given amount. The Union receives
for ne nte-s both men and women. In the
smallest class the policies range from $3.50
toSf,0O0. In the largest class they are from
81 900 to "a 900. Agents and members are
wanted everywhere. Agents are allowed
the. most liberal commission and can make
money fast.by representing the Union. For
