4 PARTY THAT BfCKS DOWX

The election of Mr.. Carlisle as Speaker was
| justly hailed all over the country as triumph
of the diStinctivcly frec-tradc element OF the
Democratic party. Men said rs they talked 1t
over and nobody dissented from the assertion,
"This sends Sam Randall and his friends and
allies to the back seats The logical outcome
of the success of Mr.. Carlisle was the Morrison
bill. 1t reelected the dominant Democratic
sentiment as exhibited in the fierce struggle for
the Speakcrship. The majority demanded that
a Tub should be thrown to the free-trade whale
The Morrison bill was the tub, droll tuD, Dut
still tub To-day the tub lies with It's enact
ing clause-that is to say its bottom-mlssng.
In word the party has backed down
That the Democracy will be mortified by the
back down we do not believe. 1t has become
used to reversing itself. There has hardly been
great issue before the country during the last
quarter of a century which it has not met BY
backing down. 1t cond0ncd slavery, and backed
down. II resolved that the war was failure,
and backed down. 1t fought emancipation, ana
backed down. 1t opposed the draft, and backed
down. 1t scodcd at tho greenback, and backed
down. 1t sneered at the union leagues, and
backed down. It resisted reconstruction, and
DdcEcu NOND. IL dilN Otdttu lNpNbi'tD''H' '''i"
backed down. Itarraycd itself against rcsVmp-
ton, and backed down. 1t plotted to coercc the
President into compliance with its will by at
tachmg partisan legislation to the general APP
preparation bills, and backed down.
A party whose public record is inclusive OF
such back-downs as these has presumably out
lived the ability to be distressed by anything OF
the sort When the old fshwOman was asked
if she did not think it was cruel to skin live cells,
she replied, Lor sakcs alive, it don't hurt EN-
"-Tve been Il sl,innin' cells these forty years
they must have got used toit by this time De-
mocracy has got used TO backing down. 1t doesn't
mind an exercise which another party would
find to the last degree humillating
But is it not amazing that party which gets
on only rs it backs down should seriously make
overturcs for the public confidence The ma
joriiy of our people are not yet prepared to turn
over the administration of the Government to
organized weakness and instability.

The American Navy has been so long an OBJ
iect of ridicUle that the announcement that the
Mediterranean squadron has been forbidden to
pass the DHrdanelles is gratifying to National
pride. We suspect, however, that the squadron
includes only one ship and that the incident
which has caused so much excitement in Con-
stautinople has resulted from the American Ad-
mirals ignorance of European treaty law. The
cable dispatch represents that the Turkish
Minister of State has demonstrated against the
passage of the Straits on the ground that the
United States Government did not sign the
Treaty of Paris. The American Minister has
probably received the protest, but the POrte's
ground for objecting to the movement Of the
squadron cannot have been accurately stated.
The Treaties of Paris and London empower the
Sultan to prohibit the passage of the Oar
danelles and the BOsphOrus by foreign vessels
of war even III time of peace. The only DIS
cretion allowed the Sultan is in the event that
the execution of the stipulatons of 1886 should
require the presence Of the fleet Of any of the
signatory Powers Treaty law excludes foreign
men 0f-war Of whatever nationality The Sui
tan originally reserved the right to authorize the
passage of light vessels III the service of
foreign missions. The American squadron, it
seems carries too many guns 10 be Struggled IN
under this saving clause.

Park Commissioner Wales is taking COM
mendable stand against extravaganza in the
building of the new bridge over the Harlem
River. He is bent on guarding against the
danger of any such enormous excess of expen-
diture over estimates ms was seen in the Brook

a stately structure which viii not be made in

shown IN securing for the city dollars honest
worth of material and labor for every dollar ex-
pended. New York has too many great under

1t is still impossible to say how the stock
holders and deposirors of the Marine Bank and
the creditors of the firm of Grant & Ward are
likely to fare In fact, 50 far as President Fish
and Ferdinand Ward are concerned, there seems
to be little disposition to relieve the anxiety of
those who have claims against the bank or the
firm by statement of the true condition of
affairs. Their refusal to give explanations will
not tend to soften the censure of the methods
which closed the bank and wrecked the firm.
There is ugly talk concerning the hypOthccatiOn
of securities, and Mr.. Wards course in giving
checks for more than 5000, 900 on bank where
he had less than 81, 900 to his credit leaves him
without defenders or apologists. As to Presi-
dent Fish, it may be hard under the crcum-
stances for him to show to the satisfaction OF
stockholders and dcp0sitOrs that he was an
honorable and faithful guardian of their
interests But no one has any words except
those of sympathy for General Grant. Every
one understands that ne knew nothing of the
details of the business and as a sufferer by the
failure ne is the victim of others.

the discussion the strong point was made
against it that its adoption would stand in the
way OF just such reform bills as those relating to
the metropolis that have passed this year with
the hearty concurrence of the best men of both
political parties. Until the friends of the
amendment can effectually dispose of this criti-
cism they can hardly expect to succeed. That
the amendment contains excellent features is
generally admitted. In a modified form it may
yet reach the statute book.

This is lively month for brutes at the
Madison Square Garden. Last week some
thousands of people gathered to see a lot OF
dOnkeys shuttle some thousands of times over
the sawdust track. This week the animals on
exhibition and the spectators are of higher
class. If the dogs are little noisier than the
six-day walkers they certainly have more
intelligence, and the eleven hundred show such
a wonderful diversity of form, traits and
capabilities, and include many admirable
examples of all which is attractive in their race,
that the interest displayed in the show alike by
Murray Hill and Third-ave. is fully justified.
Next Monday a different sort OF crowd VIII
gather to see brutal match at sparring. Later
in the month the clubs, Fifth ave, and the
masses Will meet again at the Horse Show III

lists and professional pedestrians and reserved

up for this vacation by foregoing the regular
recess from Friday until Monday. AT this late
day, with many important measures still I'M

gratifed if during the rest of this years session
the weekly recess was abandoned altogether and
both houses worked at their hardest to clear the
