II is unbappily clear that if ex-senator SDen-
Ger. Postmaster Anger. Marshal Henry,
Foreman Helm and other officials have been
guilty of acts iustifying their removal from
Office, they ought to have been removed long
ago. 1t has been great scandal that some Oh
these men were permitted OpeIiy 10 oo-
struct the administration OF justice, ana 10 90
this for months with complete lmpunlty.
Complaints have been repeatedly made
to the President, through official chan
nels or by the press, and his friends have not
made public any good reason for this long failure
tn act. The removal of the officials accused,
moreover, does not now come to pass as the re-
suit of n prolonged investigation the facts now
known. or alleged, were equally known long
ago. The case is even stronger with respect TO
those whose offences appear to have resulted
from impetu0sity OF disposition rather than a
desire to prevent the punishment OF crime.
Whether these offences deserved greater or
less rebuke and punishment, they were
open and undsputed, and invited immediate
attention months ago, quite as much as they DO
now.
Two explanations are possible. 1t is conceiv-
able that the President has been convinced 10y
the Idtt eItcllOllb illdJ SlCdlCl CCdl anu 'hVi
oughness in the enforcement of the laws are
demanded bv the people, from him and from
all other officials. If he has such an impress
sion and is disposed to act upon it, the pubic
will give HIM credit, even though bis action now
is a condemnation Of his refusal to act before.
But it is also conceivable that the President
has yielded to the promptings of those who
want to witness IA campaign of vengeance and
of slaughter, In order that they may fatten on
the spoils during the remaining fraction
of the Presidents term. If this is his temper
il would be natural that he should begin by
removing persons who, besides being hated by
Stalwarts are also open to censure ON account
If public acts. In that case the spirit and aims
of the President will soon be manifested by
other removals not even prOfesscdly based
upon any accusations of official misconduct.
When this is seen the public will know what to
think of the performance. At present, the re-
mOval of persons who have more or less
INSTRUCTED the administration of justice in
Star Route matters might be explained In the
main by either purpose, and will hardly be-
regarded az emitting the President to much
credit until the causes OF his long delay and of
his sudden action are more fully understood.
IL is not possible even for the President OF the
United States to continue for months to ignore
the conduct OF men like Spencer aud Helm,
fragrant and notorious as that conduct has
been, without exciting severe criticism.

MONEY AND BUSINESS.
enorlnity

The banks made a much less satisfactory
statement on Saturday than had been expected
They reported loss of $2,S5S, GOO in reserve,
although the Treasury had increased It's aver
axe of balances only about $1,S00.000. The
inference that about $1,000 900 was sent to
the interior is the less Trustworthy because the
issue of gold certificates enables any capitalist
who can command the money TO lock up mil
lions without fear of detection. The course Of
the money market last week rendered it quite
probable that the natural stringency was at
times intensified by artificial means, and the
want OF correspondence between the different
items OF the bank statement suggests the same
conclusion. About 81, 1860 was deposited
for gold certificates of which only about
81 $50, 600 was used at the Custom House, but
it is not known that more than 100000 was
sent to the interior. AT the close of the week
the banks were receiving money from the
Treasury for bonds, and they probably held at
the close of business on Saturday at least rs
much as their statement indicated.
The enormous transactions last week in the
stock, cotton, petroleum and grain markets.
though not at all evidence of healthy condi-
ton of business, swelled exchanges to an
week. $1,2lG,09S, 5GS, has never been
approached except during the week ending
March 5, 1851, when the amount was
S1,2I1 100000, and during the week ending
May 20, 1881, when it was $1.212, 900, 900.
On Wednesday the sales of stocks were the
largest ever known for n day, and the average
for the first three days of the week was over
1888, 900 shares daily, while the exchanges for
the three days ending on Friday amounted to
1904. 100000 Sales OF cotton during the
week were TAI, 900 balen Il corner in corn re-
suited in an advance to 81 10 for November,
and in large dealings and the collapse In tho
oil market from 81 SO to 90 cents caused
heavy payments and some failures The ex-
changes were also very large last week at some
other points, and the mischievOus effects of
those methods of trade which encourage gam
bling operations were never more strongly
manifested.

be held sacred, are performed by him and by
subordinates named by him under the usuai
rules allotting patronage to the successful parry
in politics. Only to state this shows the ao-
surdity-the danger, indeed-of the system
which authorizes the selections. 1t is only
necessary to add that it was device OF the
Ring at the time of its greatest peril.
There is no moro useless appondage OF the
city government. The Commissioner and his
assistants merely duplicate the work of the
clerks of the courts in correcting the jury
lists. 1t is true that the Commissioner assumes
to hear excuses and to relieve men from jury
duty but the real corrections of the lists take
place under the eyes of the clerks OF the
courts, who note and record the legal excuses
made to the judges. The drawings which take
place twice a month"; could be readily con-
Quoted by them under the supervision OF the
Judges without adding greatly to their laDors
At any rate, the work could be done by them
at less than the present cost. And such
selection under actual judicial scrutiny would
relieve the system of much of the odum now
attaching to it, and public confidence would DC
in q measure restored. The jury laws apply
ing to this county might also be wisely
amended in other respects; but the Bar
Association should at any rate undertake Il.

CHALMERS or MISSISSIPPI

General j. X. Chalmers, OF Mississippi, at last
knows how it is himself More than once he
has sat in Congress in q seat to which he was
not elected and now his chances are good OF
being kept out of a seat in Congress to which
he was elected. If this is net poetic justice 1t is
certainly poetic injustice. For years success at
the ballot box in Mississippi has been condi-
toned not upon the will of the majority but
upon the might of the Bourbous. And Chal-
mers has been of those who organized and have
perpetrated and proftcd by the fraud. If he
now falls a victim to unblushinG rascality he
can reflect that Haman was hanged upon the
gallows he built expressly for the use of Nor
decai, and that gentlemen who dig pits for the
feet of their neighbors are apt to bring up IN
Just such disagreeable openings. Should he be
excluded from scat in the XLYIlith Congress
because /, 400 woes cast for him in the late
election in one county were recorded Tor " j. k.
ChambleSs on a tally sheet, although the bal
lots themselves bore his name correctly spelled,
he may find himself growing additionally mn
happy at the Injustice rs be reflects that it is
merely the whirlwind which he himself invited,
if he did not render inevitable, by sowing
the wind.
The public has not yet forgotten the wretchcd
pretexts which served as General Chalmers's
credentials to his seat in the present Congress
Even his political associates il that body,
many of whom had been accustomed to subOr-
dinate fair play to partisanshlp In deciding
contested election case, found his claim to the
seat too preposterous to admit of their support
1t is simply to insult his intelligence to cOnjec-
turc that Chalmers himself was not perfectly
well aware that the seat which he occupied be-
longed to his Republican competitor, John Il.
Lunch. And yet he had the assurance and the
knavish meanness to retain it until he was
driven out of it by the votes of Republicans
and Democrats. Lynchs ttlo to the seat was as
clear and il dlsputable as title could possibly
he. There could be no doubt of his election.
But his skin WAS black and he ran III the notO-
rious Shoestring" District of Mississippi.
1t is to he hoped that General Chalmers will
make Il vigorous COZ test for his seat and that
when he comes to appear before the Committee
on Privileges and Elections he will make
clean breast of all he knows about making
mock of the right of suffrage. If he could only
be induced to turn States evidence the true in
wardness of the Mississippi plan would be moro
fully revealed than ever before in all its
pnormity.

STEEI RAILS md WAGES

Because steel rails sell at $40 a ton and some
mills have closed, and The Bulletin, published
by tho Iron and Steel Association, thinks that
wages may have to be reduced, the free trade
organs cry ont: " Has American labor, then,
become pauperzcd by the great system of pro-
lection 10 American labor I" A little infOrma-
ton would not hurt these organs. Hardly any
other class of workmen in this country is bet
ter paid than the workers in iron and steel.
According to the census report the average
wages of skilled laborers in all the steel works
of the country was So II daily, and in all the
irOn-rollng mills So 80 daily. This is some
distance from pauDerism. The Western pud-
dlers, who laid idle for months last summer be-
cause the employers could not afford to Increase
thelr wages 10 per cent, were already paid 50
per ton for doing the same work that is done in
England for ST. IS per ton. The man who
talks about paupcrizing a branch of labor that
is paid nearly three times as much AS one of
the best paid kinds of labor in England, may
possibly he qualified to instruct the world in
the beauties of free trade, but even that is not
quite apparent.
Some of the iron and steel workers in this
country have had very much the best of things
fOf several years. ii lHoJ hupDOae Jndt III Is
possible, by any devise whatever, to secure
permanently to any department of labor rate
of pay altogether disprOportioned to the wages
paid in other departments, they are. of course,
mistaken If they have to work at consider
ably lower wages for time. they will only be
squaring the account, so to speak, for years
during which they have enjoyed especial adj
vantages. With wages considerably reduced
they would be getting much mole than they
could get in any other country, and would know
then, us they know now, how to answer those
who want to know if they have been pauper-
lied 10y protection. Whether their wages ought
to be reduced is quite another question. The
makers of steel rails have also enjoyed many
years of exceptional advantages. The tariff
has favored them So much shat they could
afford tor years to pay some establishments
handsomely for doing nothing. But the enor-
nous pcofts realized in those years were not
expected to be permanent. The object of the

THE SELECTION OF JURORS.

The Bar Association of this city has not
been as active in pushing reforms of Judicial
administration as its inception and organiza-
ton in the exciting time of the Ring fight ten
years ago gave promise that 1t would be. 1t
ought to have accomplished in several direc-
tiOns and particulars far more than it has
done. 1t is not too late for it to begin now
And there is one reform which THE TRIBUNE
has before suggested which ought to commend
itself to the attention of the members of the
association and of lawyers generally. 1t is one
which the incoming Legislature should be
urged TO make. We refer to the abolition of
the existing Office OF Commissioner of Jurors
as Improperly instituted and filed and wholly
superfluous.
The chief objection TO be urged against the
continuance of the Office is that the Commits
sioner is appointed by the Mayor wholly on
political or personal grounds, He has to do
solely with judicial administration, yet he is
selected by the city executive and is wholly
Independent of the judges and courts. APP
pointed TO a most delicate and important duty
connected with the administration OF justice
in over dozen courts, he is chosen
from the most active. Of politicians solely
on grounds of political influence and
prominence. Duties, which in view of their
connections with the courts Of justice ought TO

protective system was to build up industry so
that competition among home manufacturers
would in the end force down prices and secure
cheaper products to consumers. This IL mas
done. The question now is how far the manu-
facturers are willing, in any time of depres-
sion, to employ part of their large prohts In
sustaining the labor which has helped them to
realize such profits.
With that question, and with tho present
price of steel rails, the duty thereon has noth-
ing to do at this time. English rails are
quoted in this market at SOP per ton, whlle
the American rails are sold at $40. Even the
dulest editor of the dullest journal must DO
able to see that the American price Is not at
present forced down by foreign competition, or
by the existence of any duty. IL IS forced
down because the Bessemer steelmakers, as
soon as business began to revive, drove prices
up to $50 per ton, for the very article when
they 1Ow sell for $40. Extravagant prohtS
always beget excessive production, and the
development of this manufacture has been SO
rapid and great that the consumption, large as
it is, fails to keep all the works employed at a
profit. The makers are paying the penalty OF
their own unwsdom, when they artifcially
nopoly price for their products. 1t would in
deed be an argument of some force against the
protective system, if it permitted such an abuse
of power aud did not permit the penalty which
results under the operation of natural laws.
That the duty on Bessemer rails is higher
than is necessary and therefore permits alter
nately excessive advances ard excessive de-
pressions of price. is not an argument against
the tariff of which that precise duty is not an
essential part When it was imposed the duty
was in harmony with other features Of the
tariff. Changes in manufacture and in price,
in other countries as well as here, have made
this particular duty out Of harmony with the
rest of the tariff, and The Republicans in Con-
gress, with few exceptions, voted at the last
session to reduce it, But Democratic parti-
sans, in order to have something to find fault
about resisted and defeated the measure de-
signed 10 correct this and other features OF the
tariff, and now they are finding fault, as is
their wont, about evils which exist by reason Of
their own votes.

They have shown, in a long and most honorable
career their desire to pay British authors;-but they
object TO suriendering their own business here to
British printers. Hence this abuse with which the

author and the fullest legal recognition Of his
