IN THE ~ iP-p1TH

Senator Paync's exposition of the tariff
question in his speech at the Jackson cele-
bration at Columbus is declaration of war.
He declares, in the inst place, that all con-
troversy in regard to the tariff, inasmuch as it
threatened the success of the Democratic party,
was settled by a compromise two years ago in
favor of a judicous tariff intermediate between
the extremes of high protection and revenue
afterward a Democratic President elected on that
compromise that it was adopted in the National
platform of the Democratic party q in clear and
unambiguous language that the policy of the
party for the next four years was thus har-

cOyyROL or IUE BRIDGE.

The nuestiOn of the control of the East River
Bridge is likely to be thoroughly discussed at
the meeting Of the trustees or Monday. The
report which will then be submitted by the
committee appointed to draft a bill to bc pre-
sentcd to the Legislature providing for n
board of control to succeed the present manage
ment is awaited with much interest. And such
a bill, from the hands of the present managers.
will naturally have great weight with the law
makers at Albany. IL is altogether likely that
n small compact commission will be- provided
for and the number of members naturally
suggested is three. The method of appointment
is the second question. Under the present law
eight Bridge trustees are named by three
officials in each city. and the Mayors and Con-
trolcrs are trustees cr-Cgicio, making twenty in
ALL But the tendency of our municipalities is
to concentrate the power of appointing heads
of departments in the Mayors. Naturally and
properly, then the coming Bridge Commission
can there be a better name, by the way =
will be appointed by the Mayor of New York
and the Mayor of Brooklyn.
1t was recently suggested in these columns
that the Commission should consist of the chief
magistrates of the two cities and an engineer
named by them. We have seen no reason To
change these views. Although the Bridge has
cost Brooklyn twice as much as New York,
each city should have an equal voice in its man
agcmcnt; and how can this be better secured
than through the Mayors These officials
would act in a sort of advisory capacity, while
the third Commissioner should be the execu-
tive head of the body. The law ought to pro-
vide, also, that all the meetings of the
Commissioners should be open to the public.
A bill has been already introduced in the
Senate reducing the Bridge railway fares to
three cents and abolishing tolls on the road
ways and promenade. While We believe that the
present tolls are too high, we doubt the wisdom
of passing such measure this year. The
people of this city and Brooklyn will be satisfied
if the present Legislature provides some such
Bridge Commission as we have urged and that
Commission should be given fair trial. To
such body we feel sure that all questions of
tolls, better facilities, etc, can be fairly in
trusted. If it fails to meet the public demand
the Legislature of 1886 will be called on to
furnish n remedy.

THE GENIE IN ROSsIS OFFICE.

1t is strange story of conspiracy, treachery
and crime which our news columns tell this
morning, and it will be read with as keen
interest in England as in this country. The
details of a plot to blow up the steamship The
Queen have been revealed by the man who was
stabbed in ODonovan Rossa's Office yesterday
Whether the ferocious attack upon Phelan was
the result of deliberate plan to murder him
because of this disclosure is not yet clear, but
the deadly determination with which the knife
was plunged again and again into his body,
even while he was trying to escape, indicates
something more than the rage excited by a
sudden quarrel.
1t has been the common opinion in this city
and elsewhere that Rossa's Office was the head
quarters of a harmless lot Of blusterers, whose

England. But Yesterdays crime showed that
the passions of these boosters may find vent Ill
other channels than threats, and the revelations
made by Phelan throw new light on the
character of the men who have surrounded
Rosa and joyce. So long as these fellows were
looked upon as mere braggarts whose plots
were only on their lips they stood in little
danger of the law. But If the statements OF
Phelan can be credited, and passengers on ocean
steamships are in actual peril from dynamite,
the consprators will soon find New-York no
safer for them than London would DO. Neither
this city nor this country will allow larklng
places of murder to exist unmolested.

public in any country. and tho popular attitude
upon such cases as this Of Madam Hughes certainly
does not warrant tho attributiOn of moral
muddle" to those who take it. What this popular
demonstration of sympathy means really is the
development Of higher refinement in hejudgment
of social relations. century and half ago such
o sentiment would have beon impossible. Murder
was understood. and robbery, and the coarser Of
fences; but nobody thought of recognizing. much
less providing for the punishment OF those subtler
but hoinous offences which fnure the soul, de-
stIoy lie-happness degrade the spirit, and darken
all the higher existence. In that sem-barbarous
period such ideas would have beon denounced rs
sentimental and mawkish. But the nineteenth
century has witnessed great advance in sensible
ty, and while this advance has quickened the gen.
eral perception of the gravity of SANDER and cal
umny. it has also enhanced the capacity to suffer
from such attacks. Meanwhile the law has re-
manned what it was, and so inevitably public
opinion has Outgr0wn it.
And this Is why in all civilized countries to-day
the acquittal of Mme Clovis Hughes is hailed with
satisfaction. It is not that there has been any
dimlnution in the regard for human life. 1t is be-
cause there has been q great accession of compre-
hcnson in regard to the sanctty Of reputation and
character, and regard to the necessity for pun
ishing. and in the severest manner, those cowardy
malignant and secret attacks upon the family and
the marital relation, which are so immeasurably
more calamitous and cruel than the killing of tho
body, yet against which tho courts afford
no protection and can furnish no redress.
The law Is condemned when the guilty escape.
Amend the law that protection is afforded society
against such outrages and prosecutions az that
which drove this woman to tho revolver, and go
ciety will at once vindicate its civilization by re-
fusing to condone private vengeance. The sense OF
Justice tho conservative sentiment which is the
cement of settled communities alike oppose them
selves to tho growth of sympathy with lawless hon.
icide. And it is only when the administrative
machinery has proved impotent to protect against
injuries which are recognized as deadly and into-
cradle, that the popular Judgment, which in its
ultimate analysis must be credited with broad
and keen perception of equity, is brought to APP
prove tho breach of law which is the last desperate
resort of bounded, wronged and maddened
woman for whom tho courts and the codes have no
relief

The acauittal of Mmo Clovis tugues for the

country. had the deed been done here. Neverthe-

recated than the condition OF the law which by re-
fusing redress for some of tho most blighting
and dcsoiating aggrcs'ions, ut once mcites

throws over that course the shield OF popular APP

donation in itself just. On the contrary. II Is 50
unjust that it can only be pallatod as the reaction
against legal deficiencies which impose upon weak
human nature burdens too heavy for its cndur-
ance. Against tho swift Islander that undermnes

The slow process of courts which are hampered by

m oniOusly and authoritat'vely settled, ana,
adds MIR. Payne, with blood in his eye, until
9the next National convention no Democrat
q can seek and labor to disturb it without gross
adierespeot to the tribunal authorized by the
sparty to define and declare its policy
This would be very well if any policy had
been declared at Chicago But in putting his
own Interpretation upon the Chicago pat
form and asserting that any opposition
to this Interpretation is dislOyalty to
the party, the Senator makes war upon
four.ffths of the Democrats in the present
House, and probably four of the Demo-
cratic voters In the country. For his interpre-
tation il, first, that the law of 1888 is assumed
az a basis that a revision of this law Is to be
made with view to correct inequality, and
reduce taxation; but that such reduction
must be made without injury to capital" and
so made as to protect the wages of labor from
injurious effects arising from the competition OF
foreign labor" Mr.. Payne knows, and every
Democrat of ordinary intelligence knows, that
the Morrison bill could not have been. passed
without injury to capital He knows that the
passage of this bill would have caused re-
duction in tho wages of labor through injurious
competition with foreign labor. Turning to
the other side, Mr. Morrison knew, and every
other man who lntelligently voted for his bill,
that it was intended to destroy certain so-called
monOpOles which the present tariff fosters,
under which especial advant age is given TO the
CAPITAL invested and the labor employed In
some branches of manufacture. These excres-
cenccs, as Mr.. Morrison calls them. he meant to
cut out of the tariff. FOur-ffths of tho Demo-
Gratis voted with him with that intent. But
now the Senator from Ohio tells them that any
Democrat who tries to do that sort OF thing
again is disloyal to his party.
We shall sec, when Senator Payne makes
remarks of this nature on the floor OF the
Senate, whether the harmonious compromise"
still prevails or not. There is strong reason for
believing that twenty Senators or more will at
once try to reply informing MIR. Payne that
the Democratic party does not intend to be the
tool of monopolies and that he who represents
a gigantic monopoly on the floor cannot read
out of the party four-ifths of its members. 1t
will be an interesting debate when it begins.
