A Fatal ADMISSION.

Looking ahead to the Presidential campaign
of next year, The atlanta Constitution, one OF
the most intelligent of the Democratic newspa-
pers published in the South, declares that "if
the Democratic party cannot win on the tariff
issue it cannot win at ALL
We believe The Constitution is correct. Ger
tainly the Democratic party cannot win OH any
other ISSUE Take. for instance, the great gen
era ISSUE that includes all others, OF character.
Party character obviously is always an issue in
q political campaign, especially in campaign
for the control of the National Government.
But the least said about the character of the
Democratic party as it stands revealed in the
public record it has made during the last quar-
ter of a centuIy-not to go further back-the
better fer its propsects. Turning from this
consideration. let us inquire if Democracy
stands the ghost of q chance Of winning next
year upon the issue which The Constitution
mentions. We cannot believe that it does.
To-day the party is divided against itself on
the tariff issue. One section Is for free trade
pure and mDe-"a tariff for revenue only"
Arrayed against this section are thousands OF
Democrats, East, West and South, who are for
protection in all that it implies. Still another
section is non -committal, and fourth Is COM
posed OF brethren who swear by Randall and
face both ways. Springer is Of the opinion that
the tariff is to be the paramount issue In the
coming campagn while Hendricks, whose Op-
portunites of forming correct Judgment are
ma good as those of the Illinois statesman, Is not
sure that the tariff will assume any particular
Importance in the great struggle. Demo-
cratic organ in North Carolina rather more than
intimated in recent issue that there was not
n free trader in the South, while The Louisville
Coulier-Journdl asserts that the protectlonists
in the party are only handful and divides this
handful into idiots " and interested parties
whose room is to be regarded as better than
their company.
The differences thus indicated may be COM
posed before tho National Democratic Conven-
ton OF next year is called to order. But are
they likely to be 7 Who is to tender the olive
branch, and upon what terms9 If history re-
peats itself, il the Democracy is consistent with
its own history, the differences will not be COM
posed and Will make the National Convention
a scene of bitter strife. For it has grown to be
a matter of common remark that the Demo-
cratic party invariably puts its foot in 1t when
there is peculiar occasion for observation-disclosures.
Confront 1t with an emergency, and 1t loses It's
head and falls n prey to its worst elements.
And so, if The Constitution please, we are
compelled to conclude that when it wrote that
if ts party could not win on tho tariff 1T could
not win at ALL it made an admission that Is Ia
tai to the hopes of Democratic restoration IN
1884.

There is something queer again about the
Irish iuries. Brady and Curley, the PhGnix
Park assassins who were arraigned first, were
found guilty in way which seemed to indi-
cate that there were still men in Ireland who
had the courage and the conscience to convict
murderers. But when Timothy Kelly was
placed at the bar there came sudden halt
Judging by the summary of the testimony sent
by telegraph, the evidence against this man
has been as strong as that against Brady and
Curley and his defence was as weak. In
deed, 1t seems weaker, if possible, for If an
abb sustained by the oaths of fifteen persons
is not enough to justify a verdict of acqulttil,
it ought 10 go for less than nothing at all.
Moreover Kelly admits that he was an Irwin
chile. But, despite all, two jurles have been
unable to agree upon verdict III this case.
1t looks very much as if the work OF lntiml-
dating Jurors had begun again. 1t is signlll-
cant to note that out of the panel summoned
Yesterday to try Fagan, another PhGnix Park
murderer, seventy-iiye men failed to appear
although their absence will cost each one
$500.

The Mayor has sounded note OF alarm when
all honest citizens will heed. He calls upon the
taxpayers to rise in their might and defeat the
intrigue now on foot in Albany to pass an
Aoueduct bill in the interests of jobbery and
patronage for the benefit of the Democratic
leaders in this city. If the proper steps are
taken Immediately, it is not yet too late to get
a bill passed which will give Us an honest Ac-
oueduct Commission, free from all political
control Although there are millions more at
stake. the present situation is similar to that in
reference to the STRENGTHENING legislation OF
1881. Political influence then seemed about to
succeed either in preventing the removal OF the
work from the inefficient hands OF the Police
Board, or in giving the Aldermen power to
confirm or reject the Mayors nomination for
Street Commissioner. But Mr. Grace promptly
gave warning of the scheme and public meet
ing at Cooper Institute followed whose voice
quickly brought the legislators at Albany to
realize the danger of thwarting the city's
plainly expressed wishes. A Citizens Com
mittee of Twenty-onc looked after the details.
1t was the Mayor and the citizens against tho
politicians then, and the honest party tri-
umphed. 1t is tho Mayor and the citizens
against the politicians now. What IL to hinder
the results from being the same?
