PAYING THE PIPER.

It has been said that Congress deserves credit
for appro prating the money required by exist
ing laws, which the Democrats last year re-
fused to appropriate. 1t has also been said
that the great increase of appropriations this
year is most discredtabie to Congress. Are
these statements in any respect inconsistent
Mr.. Hiscock seems to think that they are. lie
argues in the House that an increased appIO-
priation of $43,OCC,0O0 was required by the
Pension act, and that an Increase OF
ST. 100000 more was required to meet Dem
ocratic refusals to provide i'll other respects for
the public service required by law But does
the excuse cover the factT
There are conflicting statements, as is
natural, regarding the aggregate OF apprOprl-
ations made this year. In truth, nobody can
tell Just what sums have been appropriated
as yet, when private, local and semi-public
bills involving money are offered almost every
hour. But Mr.. Hscock seems to admit that
the increase in appropriations will be as much
us $50, OOO, 900, and other staten ents make it
SIS, OOO, 900 already, with prospect of fur
Their increase. The difference does not affect
tie argument. If So, 100000 more than was
voted last year has been voted for PENSIONS
and for Democratic Deficiencies there still
remains balance of $17,OOOOOO to
S25. OOO, 600 for which the public asks explain
alton.
TuE TRIBUNE has consistently maintained,
ever since the session began, that Congress had
no right to permit without inquiry all the
frauds which Democratic Congress had made
possible by the Pension Arrears act, and that
means ought to be taken ut once to protect the
country from further fraud i'll that matter.
That is a different thing from the just payment
of sums ascertalned to be honestly due, and
Congress ought to have done the one, but
ought not to have left the other und0nc. 1t
refused to investigate the Pension fraud, and
the country is therefore obliged to rely upon
other statements as to the amount OF money
thus stolen Ont Of the $lOO,O OO,O 900 voted this
year to that object, will Mr.. lliscOck venture
to affirm that less than $4,000, 900 will be
fraudulcnty paid Grant that all the money
honestly due should have been paid it is also
true that Congress ought to have made some
effort to ascertain what was honestly due.
But as to the rcst-the S;l7,OOO,O00 to
So, 900, 600 which this Congress has voted III
excess of last years appropriations, not for
pensions nor for Democratic deficiencies
what are we to say about it When Repub-
lean Congress was called upon to pay, in adj
ditlon to the regular expenses, al the bills
which Democrats had fraudulently left,
was it not right to expect that 1t would be
particularly careful about other expenditures 2
Has there been such care ! Can any upright
member Of Congress claim that its course in
that respect has been such as his judgment and
conscience approve 1t is the old story those
who dance must pay the piper. Congress has
been dancing over eight mont hs, and some
body is responsible

pANGLOSAXON SUPREMACYD

The South Carol ina Democrats appear to
have arranged all the prcliminares for another
Bourbon campaign in the regular style. In
other words, they have organized another ex-
petition for the purpose of stealing possession
of the State. Their candidate for Governor
called this performance "preservng that
Anglo-Saxon civilization which has been
transmitted to Us through centuries of free
"Gom," but the chairman of the Convention
seems to us to have given more concise ard
accurate definition when he called it maintain
ing "Anglo-Saxon supremacy" The platform
gives expression to the same idea, stated still
more plainly: Only within the Democratic
"party, and by party action, can defective
"legislatiOn be Temcdied without lmperllllng
"the safety and well-being of the State"
AnglO-S Saxon civilization or supremacy, there
FORE means in South Carolina Democratic rule
at any cost Watcher the party has majority
Of the voters or not does not enter into the
problem Any rule but Democratic rule will
"imperil the safety and wel-being of the
State,n and to maintain that rule the ballot
box must he stuffed and the voice of the
majority smOthered.
This is a harsh statement of the case, but we
do not see how it can be put any more mildly
and at the same time be truthful. There was
nothing in the proceedings OF the Democratic
Convention to encourage any other view. Of
the nominee for Governor little Is known out
side of the State save that he has that requisite
for Office in any Southern State, a record of
service in the Confederate army He seems to
have been nominated 10y a spontaneous move
ment among the delegates, and over the heads
of two hardened BOurbons who had made great
efforts to secure the honor This much is in
his favor He has been State Superintendent
OF Education since 1876, and it is claimed
that hc has been a faithful and energetic
officer. There is not much in his speech of
acceptance to encourage hope that his interest
in education has brOadened bis views on politl
cal questions. \ thOIoughgolng politician

speaks well for the undertaking Is the

The so-called Business Cabinet i'll France Is
headed by NJ. LIE Blond, a Senator, who has
grown old in public life without acquiring a
reputation for political ability or administra-
tive capacity. The previous Ministers of War,
Marine, Agriculture and Posts and Ielegraphs
retain their portfolios and NJ. Tirard is trans
ferred from the Ministry OF Commerce to that
of Finance, and NJ Develie, who has been
Under Secretary in the Ministry OF the In
terror. is now given a Cabinet seat. The MIN
listers of Foreign Affairs, Public Works and
Public instruction are Jaw recruits. 1t is an
utterly commonplace Ministry and probably
will not last very long. If the Deputies wish
to convert a Ministry into a body OF clerks
whom they can remove individually without
a political "scene," this will be good Cabl-
net to discipline. The new Premier will be
the sixteenth who has taken office within
twelve years. 1t is only the eleventh change
which has been made in the Ministry OF For
eign Affairs, but in the Ministry of the In
terror there have been twenty-four transfers
since the fall of the Empire. NJ. Cookery Is
the most fortunate of recent Ministers, having
retained his portfolio under half a dozen Adj
ministrations owing to his remarkable admin
istrative capacity in the Department of Posts
and Telegraphs. He is almost the only Minis
ter who can be termed an old Llblic function

The project of holding State Constitutional
Convention in Tennessee, which has just
been defeated, was regarded with indifference
by the mass of voters. The two factions on
the Bourbons in their platforms opposed IT,
The State Credit Democrats declared that the
need of such a convention did not justify inc
opening of the organic law to amendment III
these times of unsettled opinions" The Low
Tax Democrats announced that they ana not
want the Convention called because the he
publicans did, asserting that all Their oppo-
nents wanted was to make the coupons OF the
State bonds receivable for taxes. The KepuD-
leans in their platform took no position on the
question, but many members of the party
thought that any needed changes might be
best made by amendment to the present funda-
mental law. The matter was not widely agi-
tated, most of the people not even knowing
what the changes were which the advocates OF
the plan wanted to accomplish. Under these
circumstances perhaps it is as well that the
plan was not approved. The people OF any
State ought to know what they are about
when they make changes in their Constitution.

In letter which we print on another page,
Mr. Blaine calls the attention of the people of
Maine to the importance of the questions of
the present canvass. A better opportunity of
declaring themselves in favor of an honest and
independent Judiciary is rarely given to voters
in any State and Mr.. Blaine places the issue
souarely before them.

Here is a distinction without any apparent
difference. The Deputy Commissioner of
Public Works says: eve gave no permission
"to the Manhattan Railway Company to erect
"any piers OF station in BatteIy-place.' And
later he adds: 1.-THE permit was to open the
street for the purpose of building founda-
ton for four piers-that is ALL Mr.. Ihomp-
son ought to have stayed at home from Albany
to make his own explanations, or he should
have tutOred his deputy better.
The tendency of many Of the Senators and
REPRESENTATIVES, to act as if Congress were
kind of governmental trinity, uniting in one
the Legislative, Judicial and Executive De
Dartments. is shown in the opposition which
the House and Senate manifest against the
clause in the Naval bill allowing the Secretary
of the Navy TO close nayy-yaIds when lie
deemed them useless. The inclination OF Con-
oressmen generally seems to be toward the
opinion that they can do 1t all-that no
executives, big or little, shall have any chance
to exercise discretion. The inslnuauon PLAINLY
is that the Secretary would WELD his power Iii
behalf of politics. 1t is sometimes dam
aging TO ones own reputation to be too sus-
piciOus.
The gallant 22d Regiment has brought the
State Camp of Military Instruction at Peeks-
kill to close with brilliancy. The success
of this new departure in militia affairs has
been greater than its friends hoped, so that
it is likely to play prominent part LII the
education of our militia hereafter. The camp
gives the regiments just the practice needed
TO make actual soldiers of them without
being in the field. Adjutant- Town
send deserves much credit Tor the way Ill
which he has managed this whole matter.
