None Of the Anderson delegation have
responded to the call for information as
to how the bill Tor prohibition election
in Anderson County failed to become o
law. The one thousand voters who
petitioned for the right Of this election
are entitled to know why the bill was
reported without Recommendation in the
House, and why no action was taken on
it in the Senate, beyond the refusal Of the
Judiciary Committee, Of that body to In.
troduce the bill. Our Senator Is q
member of that Committee and can
doubtless tell why the Committee deci.
ded against the bill. We learn that two
of our Representatives went before that
Committee, ene against the bill and tho
other for It. Why not tell the people
how the delegation stood, and what they
did on this bill. They are the agents,
not the masters of the people. We are
entitled to an account Of thrir steward.
ship They are. of courae, sine era in their
views, and they ought not TO | too timid
TO express them. We want to know who
are the members ofthe Anderson dele.
cation that arrogated 10 themselves to

tions. Tell us III Anderson what you

TJyF RRTDGE BILL

There are two things in the Bridge bill now
being tinkercd in the Legislature that are Oh
extreme Importance. They are the substitu-
ton of small Board of Trustees for the present
large and irresponsible body, and extension vi
the New-York terminus, so that by providing
additional switching. room the carrying capacity
of the railroad may be doubled. The part OF
the bill relating to the extension of the railroad
in Brooklyn should now be considered sepa-
rately, if at ALL The Bridge trustees before
sending the bill to Albany struck out the most
feasible plan of building this extension (the
Adams-st. scheme), and also the section pro-
viding for the issue of income bonds to pay for
the work. 1t is evident that the direct income
of the Bridge will not be sufficient IN many
years to carry out this Improvement. lnere-
fore the whole question of the Brooklyn ex-
tension would better be dropped for the present
Mr.. Stranahan's point that the franchise
granted to the Brooklyn and Long Island CaDle
Railroad Company renders the extension III
Brooklyn impossible is not well taken. mat
franchise expressly provides that 1t the Bridge
railway reaches the City Hall the cable ROAD
shall connect with it there; otherwise the cable
road will run through Adams and Sands sts.' 10
the present Bridge terminus. Mr.. Stranahan
hints at "a possible extension of the Bridge road
beyond the City Hall but what he means is
not precisely clear, and certainly no such pro-
iect Womb be looked on with favor. III the
Bridge il not extended at the other end, the
cable railroad will be built to connect with 1t,
and other elevated roads will have the privilege
of using its tracks from the City Hall to Sands
ST. Thus practically the same object will be at
tanned as by extending the Bridge tracks, al
though we have considered the latter the better
project, as a union depot near the City Hall
would best accommodate the greatest number
of travellers.
However, tho Brooklyn problem can wait. 1t
will solve itself in time. What is imperatively
needed is the rcorganized Board of Trustees and
the extension across Chatham and Centre SITS.
On this point the two cities arc entirely agreed.
We most earnestly urge the Legislators at
Albany to take this to heart DaIlying over the
Brooklyn extension may be fatal to the bill as IL
whole That would be a public disaster.

THE FRAyC0CHfYESE SITUA TON.

There is n good deal more mystery about the
reported conclusion of peace negotiations be-
tween France and China than seems necessary to
n sincere and genuine arrangement Of terms.
The statement that France has proposed the
evacuation of Tonquin by the Chinese, as a pre-
liminary to the removal of the Formosa block
adc. moreover, does not sound promising;
while the rcticence Of the new Ministry, just
given thirty millions of france for war expenses,
is not rcassuring. The voting OF this sum ut
the very moment when peace is said to have
been made resembles somewhat too closely the
Russian way of doing things negotiating and
preparing for war simultaneously. Perhaps the
strongest indication of a pacific nature mt
present is the presence of General Campcnon at
the head of the War Department, for 1t is we'll
known that he has been opposed to the war
with China from the first, and it is possible that
he may have made the conclusion OF peace
condition precedent to taking Office. But China
has to be reckoned with, and after her success
Mt Langson it il not probable that she VIII be
disposed to accept humiiating or anything
short of equal terms. That she would consent
10 Withdraw from Tonquin before the French
raised the blockade is unlikely, unless her real
situation Is much worse than Is generally
known OF believed.
The circumstances on both sides, in fact, are
not the most favorable to negotiation, mas
much rs the weaker Power is exalted by unex-
pectedI success, while the stronger is irrltated
by n loss of prestige consequent on defeat And
though Paris went wild over the news from
Lapgson, and though outside of Paris the war
il not popular, it cannot be regarded rs certain
that the same mob that howled for Ferry's head
the other day would not demonstrate with
equal ferocty against Brlsson if the latter con-
cuded peace the terms of which hurt the
National sensitvcness. Meanwhile war meas
ures continue to be taken. Reinforcements are
being forwarded, and the commanders OF the
French forces in Tonquin appear to have re-
ceived no orders to cease hostilities. In Ton
onin rs in Central Asia the zeal or indiscretion
of officers may at any time neutralze the action
Of dipIomatists, and therefore it is probably too
som TO conclude that the war is mt an end,
even though prcliminaries may have been ex-
changed.
France cannot continue the war without DIS
locating her home army irremcdiably, and in
the present menacIng condition OF European
uilairs such a course would be suicidal. But 1t
remains TO be seen whether any Ministry can
make a peace with such Power as China-untll
recently regarded with rdicue-wthout secur-
ing markedly advantageous terms; and 1t Is
perhaps with n view to sound public opinion on
that head that the Government is now main
tanning an attitude of reticence and INDIGESTION.

CHICAGO DEMOCRACY.

GAlleged frauds "; that is what the Demo
cratic papers call the performances in Chicago.
Notwithstanding the full details given in dis
patches of the proofs obtained by the Citizens
Committee, and in spite of the notorious char
acter of Carter Harrison and the gang of
scoundrels who follow him, the crimes In
Chicago are by Democratic journals dismissed
as alleged frauds" and it is observed that the
decent people of that city are very angry be-
cause they have failed to GUST the scoundrels
who have been controlling the city. BY way of
consolation it may be remembered that the
same journals treated in the same way the in
famous frauds which ended in the conviction of
Mackin and his associates in crime, and. al
though that eminent Democratic reformcr was
out Of Jail on bail, and visited all the polls on
election day TO see that the good work of reform
was pushed forward by Others with vigor,
nevertheless the shadow of the States Prison is
over him, and the brand of infamy and of crime
still rests upon the party which chose him To do
its work, and upon the leaders who have been
prosecuting the same work, though in a measure
deprived Of has assistance.
Such is Democracy in Chicago a shameless
conspiracy of all the dangerous classes, with n
few demagogues. to capture and control the city
in the name of Cleveland and Reform. It.would
be a good thing if the whole country could
study the details of this performance as they
are set forth in Chicago journals. contest
seems certain to result, and the arrest and trial
of many of the scoundrels who have been trying
to rob the people of their rights. The most
guilty will escape. pcrhaps-the leaders who con-
trived and the candidates who provided the
money for the rascalities perpetrated. But it
will do good to put their tools behind prison
bars, and to enable the country to understand
what Democracy really means in Chicago. 1t
is to be hoped, therefore, that the men who are
prosecuting the scoundrels will neither lack
moral nor pccunary support. If the people Of
Chicago can afford to be governed by person
like Harrison, the representative of blaclllegs
and law breakers, that is their own affair But
the whole country has n deep interest in the re-
suit of the contest. because the preparation OF
| such crimes with success and impunity in any
city encourages similar crimes in all other cities
What is particularly needed here is, not To
turn the rascals out" but to put the raseals la

ANONYMOUS MISREPRESENTATION.

THE above comes to us anonymously, and our
experience leads us TO the conclusion that an

language attributed to the President was not At

Cleveland and is in ardent sympathy with him.

NOT 1DRTFT.

Probably the gentlemen of loose principles
who have been "monkeying around the union
League Club in the hope of getting that power
ful organization loose from its political moorlnss
will be willing now to let it alone for while
The overwhelming vote last night should make
them comprehend very clearly where the Club
stands and means to stand.
There never was the slightest warrant in the
feeling of any considerable proportion OF lts
membership for the impression sedulousiy
spread that the Club was about ready 10 con-
slider the work of the Republican party endeo
and to abandon its old distinctive political
position. When the mere suggestion OF tplS
idea brings a recent wanderer like jackson
Schultz straight back into camp again, the
strength of the old attachments may be readily
perceived.
This Club represents'the most influential ana
valuable element in the politics OF New ork'
Its fidelity has been of the utmost Importance
alike in the times of war ana III
the equally critical periods OF poiti
cal trial that followed. 1t never dld
better service than in the last campaign, ana IL
was never in better condition, or in better
heart, for further service to the Republican
marty and to the country than it is
to-day. The gentlemen who think the
Republican party is declining make tremen-
dous mistake, and so do those VINO
thought that the sixteen hundred picked
men, representing tho best elements
of the professional, business an u
social life of New DIRK, who compose the
Union League Club were ever more devoted 10

they are at this moment.

THE ROYAL VISIT TO IRELAND.

The beginning of the Prince Of Wales's visit to
Ireland has been suspicious. The reception OF
the royal party at Dublin was certainly quite as
enthusiastic az could have been expected, ana
the Princess fairly stormed the hearts OF the
patriotic Irish by appearing III green costume
This was graceful and thoroughly appreciated
commitment to the people, and no doubt 1t did
much to spread and keep up the good feeling
which seems to have been generally manifested
But the truth is that those who predicted sui
len and gloomy reception Tor the Prince and
Princess knew little of the Irish character. Your
true freshman is naturally prone to festivity
and cheerfulness. He does not take kindly to
a sulky role and when he is appealed to not
only in behalf of Prince who has the Ieputa-
tion Of being very much of good fellow, apart
from his rank, but in behalf of q particularly
lovely and charming Princess who moreover APP
pears before him wearing o. the green" IL Is
inevitable that he should cheer and make the
welkin ring. Possibly if the Prince OF Wales
STAYS in Ireland too long the deep-rooted SEN
timents of a large proportion OF the people may
come to the surface, and the present enthusiasm
disappear. But it, according to the programme,
he only makes flying visit, sk:mmlng the
cream of good feeling as he passes, he may
almost everywhere encounter greetings as
cordial as those Of Dublin
The Mayor of that city appears to have made
a feeble effort to live up to his engagements re-
garding the much vexed flag question, but not
to have succeeded, the banners finally being
hoisted over the Mansion House. The only
trouble that occurred grew out of the persist
ence of some people in singing, God Save Ire
land ~; it apparently being desired that the
operation referred to should not take place
during the visit of the Prince of Wales. The
courage of the Prince and the good faith of the
populace were both shown i'll the impunty with
which the crowds pressed in past the escort
upon the royal carriage. and the good-humored
way in which this irregularity was borne,
though il dynamiteurs had been present the re-
suit might have been serious. There can be
little doubt that the royal visit will be pro-
ductive of some good. 1t will please the Irish
people and tend to make them feel that they
really belong 10 the Empire. Above all, 1t Is
calculated to convince the people OF Ireland
that they are trusted, and this can hardly fail to
