The Defeat of Apportionment.

One of the most culpable of the many fail.
ures of tho Legislature to do a plain duty
was its refusal to rcdistrict the State for
members of Congress. This has never hap
pencd before in the history of New York.
The present districts We're arranged under
the census of 1870. Since then there have
been great changes in the population. AS a
general rule the Republican portions OF the
state have barely held their own during the
past ten years, while the Democratic portions
have largely increased 1t was this which
enabled the Republicans to carry twenty-one
of the thirty-three districts at the election in
1880; and their control OF the present House
is largely due to this fact.
The Republicans in the Legislature deter
mined to cling to these advantages, for they
would help their party to carry the next
House. Although this Congress allotted to
the State an additional member, the Repub-
licans in the Senate and Assembly resolved
to prevent n reapportionment, even II the
thirty-fourth member had to shift for him
self. So We must elect Representatives this
fall on the old plan, regardless of the census
OF 1890 and the new allotment Of members
among the States by Congress.
The consequences in New York are obvious.
The Republican strongholds retain all their
members, though their population has rel
atively diminished, while the Democratic
portions Of the State, and especially its two
chief cities, gain nothing by the large
increase in the number OF their inhabitants.
Though the Democrats in the Legislature
may not have pushed this matter with due
pertnacity, the defeat of the measure is
chargeable to the reckless hostility Of the
Republicans to all mandates of the law when
they might cause results unfavorable to
themselves. In this they We're, OF course,
aided and abetted by their Tammany allies.

ton was made to Judge BENEDICT to grant a
warrant for his removal to the District OF
Columbia.
The Judge refused to issue warrant, and
discharged the prisoner, on the ground that
the facts would entitle him to be released
when he reached Washington, and therefore
there was no propriety in sending him to
that city.
This action is in accordance with the rule
OF procedure that when name Is used it
must be the true name or the person Is not
identified; and none OF the exceptions TO the
rule arc applicable, since there was no pre-
tenco that tho Grand Jury were ignorant of
tho true name of the person they meant to
indict
We have sometimes thought that Judge
BENEDICT was disposed to favor the Govern
ment too much in criminal cases. This de-
cision, however, munifcsts praiscworthy
intention TO insist that the prosecuting Off
GERS shall not become utterly careless of the
safeguards which the law provides for tho
liberty Of the citizen, even when the citizen
Is charged with crime.

the elevated roads is ten cents, while the
horse cars carry a passenger for five cents.
They are naturally anxious, therefore, that
the lower rate for rapid transportation shall
not be extended throughout the day.
But even II the bill reducing fares on the
elevated railroads had passed and become
law, we do not believe that the surface rail-
road companies would have suffered from 1t
SO much as they apprchendcd. 1t is far more
convenient TO take the horse cars for n short
trip than tho elevated roads. A man can go
q short distance dozen or twenty blocks, in
about the same time on the horse cars as on
the others. He may even save time IL he
does not have to climb TO u station and wait
for train, but can jump on II passing horse
car. For women out shopping the horse
cars are much more convenient. They pre-
fer them to the elevated trains without re-
gard TO price, and so do many travellers who
wish for short ride only.
Hence, during the middle OF The day, when
the business on the elevated roads is very
light, it is good on the horse cars. And
doubtless it would continue to be good on the
surface roads even If their competitors up in
tho air were compelled to reduce their fare
to the uniform rate of five cents.

WASHINGTON. June latter the Army bill
was taken up in the Senate to-day everything along

The high price of beef in this city is carry
ing everything in the provision line after it,
and there is an unnatural initiation OF prices
which seems to indicate unusual methods
operating somewhere to maintain them. There
is no reason why the high prices for provisions
which ruled ut times during the war should
prevail now. In contrast with the advance of
from fifty to seventy-ilyc per cent. in tho price
OF meat retailed here, there appears the fact
that the bids furnished to the Indian Commits
sioncrs for the beef contract We're never before
so numerous. nor was the competition ever SO
brisk. Tho increase rover tho prices Of last

The horse railroad companies Of the city
will OF course rejoice over the failure OF the
bill reducing fares on the elevated railroads.
1t seemed to them for their interest to make
common cause with the rapid transit COM
panies against the measure, which was
doomed from the first. II was killed through
treachery and because Of the efforts of a
lobby which need not have lacked for money
TO accomplish its purpose.
Il is not surprising to now find the surface
and elevated roads working in unison as
allies. They are not the bitter rivals, and
have not been for considerable time past,
which it was anticipated at the beginning
they would become. They divide passenger
transportation in the city in way which
seems to be satisfactory to both, and both
are making money. If, however, fares on the
elevated roads We're reduced TO five cents at
all hours, the horse car companies fear that
they would suffer severely. But even then,
doubtless, Il good and profitable business
would be left for them.
Whatever the fares on the elevated roads,
the horse ears are pretty sure to keep the
lions share Of the short-trip business
short fares, rs they are called. Those are
much the most profitable for them. They can
well afford to lose even more OF their through
business than the elevated roads have so
far taken from them if they keep the short
fares, and those continue to multiply as fast
rs they have done during the last three or
four years.
II people are going long distance, Of
course they make a considerable saving of
time and ride much more comfortably in the
elevated cars. TO secure these advantage
they will often with readiness pay five cents
more than the horse cars charge. And, to
save money, very many persons who have
lar to so will be careful To so time their visits
as to take advantage Of the lower rate. The
great rush Of travel up and down town of
business and working people Of all sorts Of
course takes place when the fare is five cents.
Hence the elevated roads have no trouble
about getting the bulk OF the through trans
portAtlon, OF the transportation over long
distances.
The horse railroads hnvo learned TO give
that up without regret. 1t is tho part of the
transportation business which is least profit
able to them. So long as they get the chief
part OF the short-trip business they have
every reason TO remain satisfied. And that
they do that now is obvious This travel Is
done chiefly at the hours when the fare on

In the Star route cases a few weeks ago

not be held for trial upon an indictment
