AFRAID TO TOUCH THE TARIFF.


The Democratic State Convention of lSS41s as
weak kneed as the Democratic State Convention
of 1888 proved itself to be. Last years cOnven-
ton was so dreadfully afraid of the tariff that
it actually adopted platform III which that
overshadowing issue was not even alluded to.
This years convention, inheriting the fear and
feebleness of its predecessor, resorts to the
same miserable trick. 1t also runs away from
the tariff resolution on the subject was con-
sidered by the Platform Committee, only to be
voted down by an emphatic majority. The COM
mittee decided not to insert any tariff plank In
the platform; and the convention, standing by
its milk and water committee, adopted the plat
form as reported.
1t is humilating to reflect that the Demo
cratic party has fallen so low that It's repre-
sentatives in the chief State in the Union are
not above making such an exhibition of them
selves. New-York Democracy gives the c0un-
try to understand that it has no views on the
tariff-at least none that it is willing to submit
to the judgment of intelligent men. Resolve
that when it comes to the tariff we sneak" says
the New York Democratic State Convention.
Incompetency and cowardice can go no further.
And yet there are people who seriously adj
yocate Democratic restoration.

SAYING THE HARBoR FOR COMMERCE.

SAYING THE HAKBOR fOR 'COHMERCF.
The magnificent hnrbor of this port has
already suffered serious injury. II was once the
boast of doop-scn nayignlors that vessels OF any
size could move to and fro, arrive and depart, Mt
almost any stage of the tide. But now many oil
tho great transatlantic steamships cannot cross
the Sandy Hook bar except at high water.
This ia due to shoaling from refuse illegally
dumped within the limits of the harbor.
The local authorities having failed TO prevent
the dumping of drcdgings and the throwing
overheard of ashes and other refuse from YES
sells, appealed to the Legislature for more
stringent measures. The inspectors of the
Pilot Board have frequently detected dredgers
dumping in the channel between Governors
Island and Brooklyn. on the Jersey flats, in Co
wanus Bay, in the Kills, in the Narrows close
under the walls Of Fort Lafayette, and III the
lower bay In most cases the Commissioners
have failed to secure conviction and punish
ment, because of the inadcquacy OF the state
law. An amendment which was asked Tor
was passed by the Legislature, but Governor
Cleveland killed it, and our commercial inter
ests must now look to Congress for relief.
The formation of shoals and the marked de-
portant channels in the lower bay have become
so serious matters to commerce that the North
Atlantic Steam Traffic Conference, which in
cudcs the leading Transatlantic steam lines, re-
oucsted Mayor Edison to direct an examination
by his aid, Commander Henry c. Taylor of the
United States Navy. The soundings made by
Commander Taylor indicated the formation OF
shoals in the lower bay and showed in Gedneys
Channel depth of water of only % feet,
against % feet in 1881. The two causes for
this shoaling he assumed to be the encrOach-
ment of wharves and bulkheads and other
works upon both rivers, and the prOmiscuous
dumping of refuse in the water adjacent to the
bar at Sandy Hook.
1t is admitted that one great difficulty in the
way of improvement lies in the triple jurlsdlc-
ton over the harbor. The New York State line
runs below Governors Island; New-Jersey en-
braces the Raritan River and Princes Bay and
the waters south of Staten Island, and the jurls-
diction of the Federal Government compre-
hends all the waters of the lower bay and
Sandy Hook. New-Jersey by her LeSis azure,
New-York by her Chamber of Commerce and
other commercial bodies, and the North Allan
tic Conference by memorial, have appealed to
Congress for law that will give the Federal
Government absolute control Of the harbor.
This proposition was presented to Congress by
the Hon. S. S. Cox, and added as an amend
ment to the River and Harbor Appropriation
bill. Mr.. Cox made an able and an exhaustive
plea for its adoption. There is every reason of
public policy for making such a change, and no
sound argument can be brought against 1t.
