The editor Of the New Age thinks he
has obtained complete control of the re-
publicans who voted with his party last
Monday for aldermen. He instructs them
that they must vote for the candidate of
the democratic party mt the next election
against Mr.. Philbrook. We understand
that the republicans who voted against
the regular republican candidates for
aldermen did so to accomplish certain
purposes which they have fully gained.
and which the election of Mavor. whoever
the person may be or let him belong to
what party he may. cannot change.
They have carried their point. gained
their ends. all the time claim
ing that they were republicans. The
New Age itself says: while they failed
to make choice of Mayor, their victory
tor all practical purposes. is COMPLETE. :"
But the object Of the New Age now plain
ly is to induct them into the democratic
party. to lead them along step by step I'M
til they have passed the line where they
can claim to be republicans. The first
step will be to succeed in influencing them
to vote against Mr.. Philbrook. We trust
they see the trap and will avoid it.
Their end being fully accomplished in the
election Of a majority Of the board of alder
men,it seems to us that if they are and in
tend to be republicans they ought to cast
their votes for MIR. Philbrook next Tues
day. II they mean to become democrats
they will of course vote against him. We
know that some. have already decided to
vote tor Philbrook. and presume the most
will do so. Let all republicans pull
together next time for the election OF
Alden w. Philbrook and united republi-
can party.

The Tariff Bill.
can party

The majority and minority reports of
the Ways and Means Committee on the
Morrison's tariff bill. submitted to the
House. sharply define the position of the
two parties in Congress in relation to that
measure. The minority report claims
that the tariff as revised at the last session
has not had fair trial and ought to
be permitted TO stand until its practical
working can he fairly tested. To change
it at this early stage of its existence is to
disturb business unnecessarily. Not a
single interest has asked for it-neither
the manufacturer. the miner. the laborer.
the farmer. nor the consumer has requested
or demanded the proposed reduction. On
the contrary. every interest. manufacture
ing. laboring and agricultural. represent
ed before the Committee on Ways and
Means has protested most earnestly against
the change recommended By smslority of
the committee.
The minority were in favor of restoring
the wool duty of 1867. but the majority
overruled them. The minority report
declares opposition to the bill because it
will disturb business, unsettle values. re-

days session, in which they discussed Pro-
fessor Woodrow's theory OF evolution.
Papers were read endorsing the learned
professors views. and others were pre-.
sented enioining him to cease teaching that
evolution is Gods plan OF creation. and
that the body OF Adam wss probably
evolved from q beast. All OF these were
voted down. and the following resolution
was adopted by vote OF tos:
ReSoired, That the Board is not prepared

doctrine OF evolution. IS defined and limit
ed by him, which appear; Inconsistent
With perfect soundness in faith.
The minority entered the following pro-
test:
Evolution Is an improved hypothesis.
and the seminary is not a place for such
teaching. The theory that Adams body
was formed by the natural law OF cvolu-
tion, while Ewes was created by super
natural ecf OF God, is contrary TO our con-

sirued as political. True, he vistea the
New York State Fair. but that was Gus

State. While he would be pleased to visit

Lad never visited. he was OF the firm be-
lief that, rs Governor Of the State, his I'M
perative duty was to remain within its
boundaries and first attend TO the duties OF
his Office, which every man knew that had

In the case OF John II. Hamilton, OF New
York, against the Board OF Commissioners
Of the Sinking Fund, the plaintiff, on the
1ith OF August, 1884. filed In the United
States Circuit Court petition In which he
alleged that he was the holder for value OF
500 ,797 OF coupons detached from bonds OF
the State Of Virginia commonly called con-
sol bonds; that he was entitled to have the
same exchanged, dollar for dollar. for Rid
dcberger bonds, and that the defendants
had refused to make such exchange; and
thereuI on he prayed that rule might be
awarded against the defendants to show
cause why peremptory mdnddnus should
not lie granted him commanding the de-
PENDANTS TO make such exchange.
The rule was awarded and made return
able to the I'd September, 1884.
on that day the cause came on to he
heard upon the petition, the rule, to which
no answer has been made, and the plain
tlf7s evidence. And the court adiudged
that a mdnddnuS issue commanding the
defendants, on the surrender and delivery
OF the coupons aforesaid, TO give to the
plaintiff in exchange for said coupons,
dollar for dollar. Riddleberger bonds.
Afterwards came the following: And
the court ccrtifies that it was shown by the
evidence that the matter in dispute in ibis
cause exceeds. exclusive OF costs, the value
Of $500, and is less than the value OF
$4,000"
On the 18th September, 1881. In ODE

The whole record shows that the plaintiff
claimed, and the court decided, that the
said coupons were eXchangeable dollar for
dollar for the like quantity OF Riddleberger
bonds, and the exchange was made. The
matter in dispute was the obligation OF the
State to issue to the plaintiff S22,79I OF is
bonds.
The court decided that the coupons were

bonds.
The difference between two quantities
which are equal TO each other is nothing.
