SIMON CAMERON says that protective
tariffs have been the rule during his

thinks that as the country has prospered
under them their beneiicence has been
demonstrated, and their continuance IL
demanded. Undoubtedly protection has
been our policy In the past, and under
1t the country has prospered. 1t is far
richer and more independent than II II
had depended on England for its manu-
fsctures. But, now that its industries
are on good footing, they can get along

ONE Of the anomalies Of the system If
representation in the Republican nation
al convention is the admission 10 seats
and votes of delegates from the
territories, which are not entitled to
electors In the electoral college and the
people of which cannot in any wise par
ticipate In the choice of president. But
the grant of representation to the terri
tories is one Of the devices of central
lied system by which those in possession
OF place retain their power. The al
ministration directly controls the feder
al patronage In the territories, and its
appointees have entire command of the
political machinery there, hence its
easy manipulation Of the delegates sent
thence. The next Republican conven'
tion will be composed of SOS delega'e es of
whom the Southern states will fuiwsh
sl6 and the territories Is, thus mahWg
832 only So less than the number re
quired to nominate. Unless Mr., Arthur
is less of the politician than he has hith.
erto been deemed he will make the bsst
of this opportunity.

the desperate attempt, led by Mr.. r. A,
Evans, to get 81 500 more for his street
committee out of the contingent fund
there Is danger that those who voted
with Mr.. Evans to override the veto will
lose all popular respect and confidence in
their fitness TO control public affairs.
The mayors message pointed out not
only that II was absolutely impossible
to comply with the resolution and take
$1,000 out OF fund that las only
$3.50 6l in 1t, but that this street CON-
mittee has already within the drst six
months OF the fiscal year spent its entire
appropriation Of $li 500 and taken
$4,000 from the contingent fund, al
though it has not made single square of
macadamizing. Besides, there are $3,.
506.6i of bills yet to be met from this

1t is true. Those bills are for services

simply repetition of the financial blum

experience the folly Of this system OF
