DEMOCRATIC TENDENCIES.

The blunder capacity of the Democratic
party is certainly inexhaustible. Not a day
passes that some new development of it is not
revealed. The party was IN an unusually bad
position when Congress adjourned, and its
leaders have been making it worse with the
most astonishing regularity ever since. Mel
ther success lOr failure is able to teach them
wisdom. They know, or ought to, that the
tariff agitation has greatly alarmed the business
interests of the country and made them unus-
ually anxious about further disturbing influ-
ences when the new Congress meets. 1t would
be the part of ordinary sagacity for the Dem
ocratic leaders under these circumstances to
adopt policy OF caution and moderation, and
to try In all ways to quiet popular apprehen-
sions concerning the dangerous possibilities of
Democratic rule. But instead of doing this,
directly opposite course has been followed.
Every conspicuous act of the party has been
fresh illustration of its reckessness and incapa-
city, The people have been shown Ia dozen
different ways that their distrust Of the De-
Inocracy is only too well founded, and that the
days of Democratic supremacy will be days of
constant peril to the commercial and industrial
interests of the country.
This Is not mere partisan assertion. We
doubt If there is single independent voter in
the country to-day who does not feel it to be
the simple truth. Here Is party whose lead
ing newspapers and politicians are denouncing
the new Tariff law and declaring that when the
new Congress meets all tariff must be abolished
except for purposes Of revenue. Everybody
knows what disaster a revolution like that
would cause. What sort of n party is this
which claims the ability to dispose Of so mo-
mentous question iu so summary a manner
What are Its principles In Massachusetts it
has put itself into the hands of General Butler
of whose financial and political principles it can
Faithfully be said that they include all that Is
bad and very little that is good. Yet General
Butler is the most prominent Democratic can
didate for the Presidency to. day, and will GER
tainly be nominated in 1884 if the party be-
lieves then that he can be elected. He has lust
shown his power by stepping over into Rhode
Island and inducing the Democrats there to
nominate William Sprague for Governor Mr..
Sprague's financial and political principles are
very similar to General Buffers, and are per-
haps little more reckless and INSCRIPTIONS.

LET THE 1P4CHES FORK.

The recent appeal of the Indians az for1
Apache, A. r., for farming tools and seeds, Is
one of the most encouraging episodes OF the
Southweut Indian question. The Apaches have
been q race of warriors and hunters. In this
they resemble the Navajos as the NavaJos were
formerly. But the policy pursued toward the
two has been widely different. The power OF
the Navajos was broken by Colonel Kit Carson
in 1868. For five years the Government main
tanned them as prisoners ut serious expense as
is practically done now in the three great Apache
reservations But in 1869 the Nayalos were
removed to their old country around Fort De-
fiance, in Western New-Mexico. Here they
were provided with sheep, goats and horses
and were encouraged TO devote themselves TO
pastoral and agricultural pursuits. Since that
time there has been no Navajo outbreak
Permitted TO remain undisturbed, their farming
and stock raising have assumed such large pro-
portions that many among them have acquired
considerable wealth.
The Apaches on the other hand, have been
set upon like mad dog in the village streets.
Their naturally warlike propensties have
been intensified by wrong-headed treatment
Driven ffcm pillar to post, treated always only
as dangerous criminals, ii is hardly strange
that even those who were inclined toward bet
ter things have joined in deeds of rapine and
bloodsLed. 1t is time to make o thorough trial
of different policy. On the three Apache res
ervatious there are gathered probably 5000
Apaches living in idleness at the expense OF the
Government The character of the country
renders agriculture impossible without irriga-
ton. Why should not some of the money ap-
propriated for these Indians be devoted to pro-
yidng means of irrigation and to purchasing
stock to give trustworthy Apaches start In
this businessl The Navajos are as warlike as
the Apaches, the Sioux have been az fierce
race, yet neither is now the cause OF any
trouble The experiment has never been lair
ly tried with the Apaches. Now they put us
to shame by begging themselves for the
means to gain livelihood as farmers and
stock-raisers. Let them have fair chance.

SPRING FEVER.

There is very well-wom quotation which al
ludes to spring. young mans fances and the ten
der passion commonly known as love. This par
tcuar spring has hardly yet outgrown its swaddling
clothes. but the sentiment of the poet has met with
so wide an application as TO amount to nothing
short of an epidemic. In many instances the dis
ease has run its uncheckered course with all the
even serenity of an attack of measles. In other
cases there have been developed remarkable and
eccentric symptoms which bid fair to make this sea-
son as remarkable for hymeneal curiosties as the
early part Of tho year was for shipwrecks, fires
and floods.
II we turn to the more distinguished unions, SEN
ator David Dayis's name naturally presents itself
Considering the public attention of which he was
the Involuntary object at that interesting time it
would be inferred that he had double reasons for
sympathzng with the young woman Weighing 900
pounds who was lately married at Newark in the
presence of noisy crowd. The marriages of ex-
Governor Sprague and the Colorado man promise
no more genuine happiness than that of tho two
Wurtemburg immigrants at Castle Garden the
other day. There was demand for "a Marie

supply the demand Regcr and Margaretha were

From the more detailed accounts OF the state OF
Westminster Abbey appears that ITS present lam
entable condition il largely due to Official neg
lect. The soft and porous stone has crumbled away
until portions OF the walls followed out and the
whole structure show ISL gus of dsntegration. In
the past, much money has been spent IN replacing
one block or one mulon by another, but these re-
pairs have been insufficient. The Abbey has not
received the close attention which the official arch
itect Sir Gilbert Scott, should have given. 1t APP
pears that he seldom went near the place
and never made any report upon its condl-
ton. AS the result of not undertaking repairs in
time il is now estimated that E24,OOO will be
needed for anything like the efficient restoration OF
the Abbey. If to this is added the always present
danger that rcstorers may inhict damage greater
than that previously existing, It will be seen that
this historic building is in sad extremity. 1t Is to
be hoped that the neglect of which Westminster
Abbey has been the victim will be the means OF
directing intelligent attention to other English
cathedrals. Chichester spire few years ago was
said To be in dangerous condition, and within
few weeks we have heard that Peterborough tower
was on the point of falling while winchester
shows TO a marked degree the ravages of time.
These cathedrals the world will not willingly let

The need of new buildings to accommodate
the various departments of the municipal gov
ernment will soon force itself upon the tax
payers of this city. Controller Campbell tells
TRIBUNE reporter that a bill is being
drafted by direction of the mayors Cabinet
to prepare for this exigency. About $4,000
year is now paid 10y the city for the rent of
offices. At four per cent, the lowest rate of
interest on city bonds, that would justify an
outlay of ST, OPS, 900 in a new building Such
a sum, if expended Dy private enterprise, the
land being furnished free, would erect a COM
mOdious edifce that would give room for all
the public offices now in private buildings.
But if the money were to be expended by the
politicians no such result could be expected.
new Hall of Records is necessity, and it is
proper that the Board of Estimate and Appor-
tonment should take charge of its cOnstruc-
ton. 1t would be great convenience If the
public offices could be brought together in
stead of being scattered all over the city as at
present. However, with an annual interest
charge of $S,O0O,000 and debt of $97, 000,-
600, and the prospect of a speedy addition of
at least $1S,000,000 more for a new aque-
duct, it must startle the taxpayer to be told
that more public buildings are needed.

Senator Pendleton's ideas of Civil Service Re-

at Albany. If the party were in the minority
there as it was at Washington, Civil Service

with an amendment, that was adopted, giving
the Brooklyn Board of Aldermen the power TO
confirm Mayor Lows nominations for members
of the Commission. Only such choice Demo

An officer of the law who does not contlhe
himself within the limits Of his authority should
be promptly punished, the same as any other
offender. We can see no reason for an excep-
ton to this rule in favor of the Secret Service
Agent who illegally detained former prisoner
in the Federal Building yesterday. The man
had been acquitted by jury and discharged by
Judge Benedict, and yet the Secret Service
Agent undertook forcibly to prevent his de-
parture from the building. Equally reprehensl-
BILE is the practice of arresting person without
any knowledge of his having committed an
offence Several persons were arraigned in the
Harlem Police Court yesterday who could not
be identified as having committed any crime.
The Agent of the Sunday Closing League,
who was responsible for these arrests, has no
need to make mistakes of this kind With
liquor and other shops open on nearly every
block on Sundays, there is a Eoundless field for
his enterprise in this city without resorting to
questionable methods.

The Republican party viii not greatly suffer
because of the resignation of Police Commits
eioner Mason as member of the Central Com
mittee. He was inconsistent enough at
recent meeting TO demand that a fellow
member should be ousted because he held
office under Democratic city government.
MIR. Mason has evidently, on reflection, con-
cluded that to be consistent he should himself
resign.
