went on undated just as if there had been no
Presidential election to come, and the private
conversation of the Democratic leaders oI tllis
State was not calculated 10 kindl0 wild enthu-
siosm for Cleveland among the voters AT IL
Very late date, however n heavy hand was LAID
unon Senator Mcpherson. He was told that,
ns for him. there were certain things when he
must do, or. The Senator went home, ana
the money began to fly. Equally potent progs
were applied to other rccacitrant or balky
leaders, and the consequence was that, at the
end of the campaign, every man OF them was at
work as if a Cabinet Office for himself depended
upon the result. Perhaps each had dangling
before his eyes some such inducement. 1t Is
related that in far countries, when shrewd
market women want to incitc methodlcal ana
slow-paced asses to greater speed. they rig
poles from the end of which, just before the
nose of each hopeful ass, is suspended sweet
smclling turnip. The efforts of the ass 10 over
take the turnip result in-wcll, briefly, in Dem
ocrutic victories.
If the Democratic leaders of New-Jersey
were all promised fat things, the cause of their
pilgrimagcs can be understood. There comes
n time, TO most dupes. when they insist upon
being undcceived Still it is not quite strange
that each of them indulges hope. Since Bayard
and Butler conspired to beat Cleveland at
Chicago. and Mr.. Bayard is requested to take a

Mr.. MILlnRs MiGHTf S0Hflff,

The Citizens Committee" which Is stalking
around in Mr. Charles Il. Mier's shoes, Is an
extremely humble and modest organiIatioh' 1T
now declares its intention oi having inc Mayor
and certain Aldermen indicted. This porten-
t0us declaration ought to lead, OF course To 'he
instant flight of the panic stricken Mayor ana
the frenzicd City Fathers into the Businesses OF
New-Jcrsey. But though their souls may be
racked with inward fears, they have not yet
crossed the ferry.
If il evident that the stern Miller will not be
checked in his fell design by any lack of evil
dcnce He has made up his mind to have the
Mayor indicted. and indicted he must be, even
though Mr.. Millers threats have no proof
behind them. District Attorneys hasten to do
his bidding and Grand Juries trenble at his
nod.
Can there be anything more impudent than
the efforts of Mr.. Thompson and his satellites
the most oiiicious and SUI erserviceable OF them
AL being this Citizens Committee, composed OF
Charles p. AIler-to blind the public as to tho
real merits of the issue at the City Hall. Mr.
Thompson has succeeded in some way-What
way it is extremely easy to surmise-ln attach
ing certain Republican Aldermen firmly to his
cause. Every consideration of public interest
and party advantage condemns this unnatural
alliance The methods by which it has been
brought about are well understood by every
politician. Meanwhile Mr.. Miller and others of
Mr.. Thompson's lieutenants raise a loud outcry
against the Mayor and Tammany Hall, simply
to divert public attention from the indefensi-
BILE conduct of the Republican Aldermen who
are serving in Thompson's ranks
L. Wa Inn
"trickery" on tho part of the Mayor in filling
offices which Mr. Grace desires to fill is too con-
temptible to deceive any one. The law requires
Mayor Edison to make nominations for these
Offices 1t does not contemplate his leaving
them as legacy to his successor. 1t is his plain
duty to use every proper and honorable means
to fill them The Tenure of Office bill, which
Mr.. Cleveland vetoed would have given these
amendments to Mayor Grace. The Times, The
Ercninq Post and The Herald, which are all
now putting forward the pretence that 1t Is Mr.
Grace's right to fill these offices, were cock
sure during the campaign that the veto OF the
Tenure of Office bill was the nOblcst act of
Governor Cleveands career. Here's consist
ency for Won The plain truth is that all this
clamor against Mayor Edison for simply obeying
the law and all this bluster against his EN-
barrassing the administration of his successor
is the most foolish sort of babble The Alder
men Nho are resisting the oforts of the Mayor
TO purify the Department of Public Works, and
the newspapers that apologize for them are
working to proong the evil administration of
Hubert .. Thompson. As to Mr.. Charles =.
Mier-does NE really expect that, If Mr. Grace
gets the chance be will reward his services to
Hubert ~ Thompson by making him Corpora
ton Counsel Let him remember wliat came
to be thought, 1T last, Ul Nathaniel Sands.

ppOTECTTOy TESTED.

Protection is failure say some. because II
does not entirely prevent failures. Protection
is failure, The London Economist would nave
us suppose, because it has not forced our manu-
facturcrs TO seek foreign markets Tor much
larger share of their products. Ot course THESE
objections are absurdly inconsistent. Botn
imply Ignorance of the meaning and intent o,
the protective policy.
It is no reproach to that policy, and no evi-
dcncc of its failure, that our manufacturers
have not found themselves compelled to rely
largely upon foreign markets. On the contrary,
the fact that they have been supported by the
home market almost exclusively, in the most
wonderful development of manufactures ever
seen in any country, and that, too, during sue
cessive years of depression, in which the
struggle for foreign markets proved fatally dis
nstrous 10 those countries which relied most
upon them, is powerful evidence OF the wisdom
of the protective policy. Our manufactures
have been growing far more rapidly than those
of Great Britain, not in spite, but largely because
uf the fact that the home markets have been
secured to them, and Our people have been
rendered., by the protective system, able to
consume more largely than those of any other
Nation. If The London Economist will consider
why IT is that there Is no manufacturer of either
country who would not prefer TO have FOR bis
market. 9jOOO.OOO Americans tU 3j.OOO,OOO
people Of Great britain, perhaps II may be pre-
rarpd to tllsrusa the aubippt more iitellgrntlv.

wall those VINO cannot keep up in malVelously
rapid race for Improvement. They assert that
it kills enterprise and invention, whereas there
is no othor land under the sun in which there
are found such enterprise and Invention as
here. 1t is because the protective system does
what its friends claim. and does not do what its
foes assert, that homo competition constantly
pushes ont of the race those who cannot keep
up-whose lack of skill, or of resources, or OF
advantages of location, or of progressive spirit,
renders them less qualified than others to con-
tribute to the public welfare.
Nor is it Il rcproach that, in times like these,
some fail, or are obliged to stop work. who dc
not lag behind in the race. No tariff can shut
out a country wholly from the influence of dis
astcrs elsewhere. 1t is enough that our tarl
renders the condition Of industry far better here
than anywhere else. The greatest difficulty
now is not that the tariff is def ctive, but that
the fear of its overthrow by Democrats anC
British agents here has prostratcd industry.

still another reason. Mr.. Blaine was bad

The present alarm about their navy exhibited
by Englishmen appears, when carefully ana
Jyzed. to be simply part of that panicky agita
ton which the generally gloomy outlook has
given rise to. The situation all round is GER
tainly not cheerful. Rebufs, blunders, fail
ures. dangers, have for some time been crowd
ing the calendar at home and abroad and
when the mainstay of the country-the navy
| is examined there is found to be plenty OF
ground for faultiinding, and at such time
this means plenty of room for predictions OF
national dccadence or ruin. But it must be re-
| membered that no national administration
not even our owns perfect There have been
adverse criticisms upon American naval admin
istration. And the present discussion has
| shown that the French navy stands in need of
| impi0vement, while 1t cannot be doubted that
those of Germany aud Italy suffer from de-
fects. But Englishmen and Americans
have the habit of airing their all
mnistratiye mistakes publicly, and 50
oher nations often get the idea that those
mistakes are far more serious than IN fact they

alliance which would enable her 10 defy all the
rest of the world at sea. The English aud
Italian naves combined could sweep the ocean,
and the British rchtions with Italy have never
been closer than at the present moment. As to
the argument that in the event of foreign war
she would have To scatter her war vessels TO de-
fcnd her colonies, 1t scarcely requires an
answer, since it is obvious that the enemy must
scatter his navy In the same proportion in
order 10 threaten the colonial possessions. Nor
does the changed character of modern naval
warfare, owing 10 the introduction of the tor
pcdo, affect England's position, since whatever
notifications occur must apply 10 all other

the torpedo will prove useless In a scaway and
that It's main value will bo for coast and harbor

ating many ships from channel for foreign
service.

THE RdTLWdYS.

The yearly statement of bankruptcies of rail-
roads made by The Chicago Rail,ray Age is not
after all rs dscouraging as many have ex-
pected. Though the year has undoubtedly
been hard one, the number of roads and the
mileage sold under foreclosure in 1884 were
both less than in 1898, fifteen roads and
$50 miles having been sold this year,
against eighteen roads and 1850 miles i'll
1883. and a still, larger mileage and number in
either of several preceding years. On the other
hand forty-three corporations went into the
hands of receivers; but upon examination 1t
will appear that in nearly all these
cases the condition of the property was
perfectly well known before the year began
and the result was only matter OF time.
Among those for which receivers have been ap-
pointed are the following of especial
importance The West Shore, the Wabash,
the Reading, and the Denver and Rio
Grande. Those who remember the course
of events in 1883 will observe that the formal
appointments of receivers in these cases was
not a surprise to anybody. The Wabash pre-
fcrred. for example, closed below 30 in 1883,
the Denver and Rio Grande at 20, andt the Phil
adelphia and Reading at 55l2.
II is also worth noticing that the new tracks
laid during the year 1884, according to the
statement of The Railway Age, have been
mainly in the nature of extensions or branches
of established roads. This conclusion The Rail
,rau Joe reaches by observing that 1000 miles
of new track have been laid, divided among
1875 different lines showing an average OF only
about tventy-lour miles to each road. 1t is
also remarked that Il very large number of
railway enterprises have been begun or
projected during the year, as would be natural
IN view Of the extremely low price Of railway
materials and Of labor. In fact there is much
