cause his experience in this Orsini episode hi'u
taught him that neither English legislators hol
English iulymen nor the English people would
tolerate any interference with the right OF

The objection may be urged that money was
not opcnlv collected in England for the Orsinl
plot, whereas in Irish-American journals irahuc

qured from Italian sympathizers residing III
London, aud sent an English agent to Birming-
ham to order the explosives The method OF
collection did not make England any the less
his actual base of supplies. 1t cannot be denied
that money is ostensbly raised by one or two
of the least reputable Irish American prints for
purposes of dynamite warfare. 1t is notorious,
however, that such collections merely line the
pockets of braggarts. who are the least fOrmd-
able of Engands Toes. Dynamite and clock
work are among the cheapest articles OF manu-
facturc, and the rates of steerage passage are
not high Very little money is requisite to
equip a knot of desperadoes for dynamite opera
tions in England; what is needed can be raised
secretly; ond we do not believe that the actual
conspilators ever get a dollar from these news
paper funds. secret dynamite fund is Ill
reality far more formidable than n regularly ac-
knowledged subscription list, since the agents
are screened from open association with their
principals The collection OF the money, how
ever, is the essential fact. The method OF
raising it is merely a matter of detail
The legal authorities of the State and Fed
eral Government assert that there is no law by
which papers publishing appeals and collecting
money for the dynamite warfare can be prose-
cuted and suppressed. We doubt if England
would be benefited if there were such statute /;
or if, moreover, there were any means of pun
ishing Irish demagOgues at public meetings for
their Infamous advocacy of dynamite. Such
proceedings would only multiply secret presses
and secret societies, cause intense excitement
and powerfully incite Irishmen TO commit
crimes against civilization and humanity. The
prosecution of Herr Most and the IreiheH OF
London is IA precedent which Englishmen for
their own sakes ought not to expect the United
States to follow. 1t would be one Of the easiest
methods of popularizing dynamite

THE OUTLOOK IN TINS STiTE.

In 1881 theDemOcrats, for the first time in ten
years, carried both houses of the Legislature. In
1882 a Democratic GovemorwaS elected-major-
ity 1913, OOO-and with him Democratic Lieu
tenant Governor and Assembly. Last fall the
Republicans stopped fighting one another and
set to work to repair these losses. The result
was that they recovered the Senate, recovered
the Assembly, elected the head of their State
ticket, and demonstrated that the Cleveland
tidal wave had spent itself and that the tide
which was running was with the Republican
party. If the campaign had lasted two weeks
longer there is little doubt the entire Republican
State ticket would have been elected.
The local elections that have been held
during the past week furnish an additional
OCCASION for Republican satisfaction. The party
is certainly in good condition to make n
Presidential canvass in this State. Elmra,
ordinarily Democratic has elected Republican
Mayor by the largest majority ever given for
that official since the city was established.
The Democratic majority averages 800. The
majority for this Republican Mayor is SCI. Utica
has also elected a Republican Mayor by a
majority unpreccdentedly large. Rochester has
reelected Republican Mayor, who has already
held the Office for four consecutive terms, by a
majority of 4, GOETHE largest, with one excep-
ton, that he has ever received. Kingston for
the first time in her history has chosen SIX Re
publican Aldermen at single election. Com
menting upon the result in the county UlsteI)
The RondOut Freeman mentions seven towns
which it says were recently Democratic " but
now "appear to have become permanently
Republican," In Newburg the Republicans gain
the Mayor, two members of the Board of
Education, a justice of the peace and other
officials. Gains are reported in the Boards Of
Supervisors of Rensselaer,, Chemung, Ulster,
Oneida Monroe. Oswego, Washington,
Saratoga and Orange counties.
Mingled with these victories for or party
there are some defeats here and there
Dutchess County for instance failed to give
a good account of herself. But taking the
elections as a whole they are TO be regarded as
proving that the New-YOrk Republicans are in
capital fighting trim that they are earnest,
united, determined to win. The prospect is full
of encouragement. Let no mistakes be made
in Chicago in June and New \ DIRK is sure to 20
Republican in November.

THE GREELY RELIEF QUESTION.

In consideration of the msmanagemcnt and
disaster which have so retarded and Obstmcted
the measures for the relief of the Greedy cx-
ploring expedition it is not too much to require
that every possible opportunity of rescue shall
now be utilized This is the last season during
which there can be any hope of finding the
party alive, and the fact increases the respon-
sibilitv of the Government, and ought to insure
the Jealous and harmonious action OF all con-
cprned in the search, either directly or in
directly. The naval expedition which has been
ordered may no doubt prove sufficient, but III a
case of this kind there cannot be too many
seekers on the lookout, and therefore Congress
would do well to offer bounty to any whaler
that may find and relieve the Greedy party.
Such measure will cost but tribe, and may
not cost anything, but it viii give the lost
explorers one more chance for their lives, and
that is a consideration which ought to outweigh
all objections.
OF course resolution Offering a bounty to
whalcrs or other vessels cannot be regarded as
involving any reflection upon the naval relief
expedition. Nobody doubts that the Navy will
do its full duty, but such a resolution will have
the effect of suppemcnting and extending the
researches of the regular expedition, and there
fore the suggestion should be cheerully
accepted and acquiesccd in. 1t must be re-
mcmbcIed further that the members of the
Greedy expedition have wives and families ut
home, and that the country is under obligations
to do all that is possible to relieve the
anxiety and suspense of these unhappy
people. Congress cannot afford to leave any
loophole for the charge that it neglected
opportunities Of relief which were within
its reach, and if a bounty is offered to
whalers it will be clear that no such charge as
this can hereafter be brought forward The
resolution suggested ought of course to be
promptly passed, that the fact may be
thoroughly circulated before the whaling season

take note also, If so it pcascs.' says Mr..
Folger that 500, 800, 600 of the money in the
Treasury was obtained for the purpose OF re-
sumption, under special provisions of the
Resumption act. and in his Judgment ought
to be sacredy held for that purpose. SO 1t
seems to The TRIBUNE. And the Treasury
docs not hold that sum- free of other immediate
demands, without counting in as part OF 1t
about 50 OOO, 900 in silver dollars, which cannot
be used for the redemption of notes without
piecipitating National dishonor and bankruptcy.
That is the exact state Of the case, and The
TRIBUNE therefore urges that the Secretary
ought at all times to hold at least 500, 100000
in gold. not covered by other obligations that
can at any time be enforced for the sole purpose
of resumption and maintenance OF specie pay

| THE EXACT STATE OF TIE TREASURY.
Secretary FOlgcr's statement, in reply to tue
inquiry of the House as to the amount of money
in the Treasury, is complete and admirable IN
every respect save one The Secretary gives
the facts correctly and fully, and properly calls
the attention of the House TO the provisions of
law under which trust and other funds are held
for special uses. But he neglects to make
sufficiently clcaI the fact that he is still relying
in part for ability TO meet the obligations of
the Government, upon a kind of currency which
cannot be forced upon any one without destroy
ing the public credit. AS has been repeatedly
remarked, it is his fault that this fact has not
been constantly impressed upon public attention
and observed in the dealings of the Treasury as
a fact of vital Importance.
Mr.. Folger shows that the Treasury held
February both, In excess of special accounts
which are not subject to the warrant of the
Secretary, $39G,293, 451 70. but of this
S41,G39, 10Y so was in certificates or other
obligations redeemed and not again issued 1t
is remarkable that the Secretary, while clearly
perceiving that these should not be counted as
available cash, includes as available cash the
legal tender notes redeemed, Of which
IO,SOSJJ4 were III IHdb u'Jt III INC treasury
besides $1204S,9 $40 in bank notes, and these
sums ARE afterward included as cash available
for the purpose of redeeming United States
notes But, putting this point aside, the
Secretary then shows that $206, 120.0G2 73
were also held under various acts as special
deposits for redemption of certificates and
maturod obligations. This leaves "a net
balance Of $l45, ,2s1 90" of which the
Secretary properly remarks, 500, 490,906 81
was in fractional silver coin, and 1864, 300 &c
in minor coins, which arc not legal tender in
one sum beyond $40 in nominal value.
From this it follows that the Treasury actually
held and owned, in form arailable for the main
tenaRoe Of its credit, only $116,409,O74 O3 in
gold. silver dollars, legal tenders and bank
notes. But it also appears that on the 29th

half a million in our city are not going 10 De

sent to have them built by tax.
1t is a splendid thought of Professor Adler to
set up a corporation to make, own, take care OF,
govern and manage proper homes for people OF
small means in way that capital is ready for,
and in Il way that people of small means are
ready for. In general terms, it seems to us,
he proposes Just that. Capital is to have three
per cent with a surcncss like that Of a govern
ment loan-in way greater than that of a
government loan (fOr it hangs on the direct
interest of the people themsclves); the tenants
are to have another three per cent, under regula-
ton of course, for relief in case of need or for
ultimate purchase of their homes and this SIX
per cent in addition to the cost of management,
is the whole of the rent.
1t behOoyes those who may be called upon to
aid in deyising the details of this most promis-
ing scheme to be very sure that the plan IS
worthy of the magnificent design.
