one opportunity he had to cast vote as Lieu-
tenant Governor, and it is significant that
he used it against the interests of the people.
His absence for many weeks from his post OF
duty, during the session of the Legislature, to
engage in procuring evidence to prevent Cor
nell University from obtaining an endowment,
was thoroughly characteristic and in accord
ance with his vote in the Tweed Legislature
against the interests of the public school sys-
TEN of this city. His act in drawing salary from
the State, while absent on private business,
shows his lack of keen sense Of honor.

ARP UJJpS SUAvEFrL RECORD


The more Mr.. Hills record is examined, the
more odous does il become. His admission
that he obtained from DR.. Eldridge $1,000 in
1871 to purchase the newspaper stock for
which Tweed paid $4,000 exactly agrees
with what is known of the operations of the
Erie Ring. Mr.. Hill was a candidate Tor the
Assembly when he obtained this money from
n conspicuous member of the Erie Ring, and
all through the memorable contest in the LeGis-
lature in 1872 he defended the Ring and led
the opposition to the repeal of the Classification
Act, even after the Ring had surrendered.
How much better has his record been since
His acts as Lieutenant Governor show that he
made use of every opportunity to oppose reform
measures, and to sustain his previous record as
n reckless spokesman. His unprecedented and
illegal act in directing the names of mem Ders
of the Senate to be entered on the official
journal as present, though they did not answer
60 their names, in order to make a Quorum, If
upheld would open the door to all sorts OF reck-
less and fraudulent legislation. That was done
purely in the interest of patronage giabbing

of a special committee to investigate the frauds

There is little political significance in the city
election at Newark, n. j., tomorrow. The
leading Republican paper presents It's candidate
as a non-partisan, and the campaign has been
conducted OH wholly personal and local issues.
The people are quite as much interested in the
subject of non bipartisan police and fire depart
ments as in the Mayo and fifteen Aldermen who
are to be elected and they will probably vote to
nut these departments under the control of non
partisan commissions. The fire department
does not need reform so much as the police.
which has been under scandalous management
fGi years.

Ii is the belief of Mr.. Garlands Democratic
associates in the telephone business that the
Presidents interruption has only deferred the
legal proceedings in the interest of their com
pany. They expect that the question whether
a sut shall be instituted by the Government
will now be referred to the Interior Depart
ment. There would seem to be no other lOglcal
course to pursue, after the publication OF the
Absurd letters by the Attorney General ana
the President The telephone associates ex-
pect, moreover, that the Interior Department
will report in favor OF the suits, which Will
thereupon be begun, they reason, not by the
authority of the Attorney General or unde'
his direction, but by the direct authority oil the
President himself If Mr.. Cleveland wishes 10
take upon his own shoulders the responsibility
of the step which Attorney General Garland had
the delicacy" to leave to the Solicltor-Gen-
e,al, undoubtedly the case will proceed. Ihe
position of the Administration in that event
will be considerably more pleasing to Republl-
cans than to those Democrats who care any
thing about public opinion.

The organization of a citizens movement Is
always delicate business and not always sure
to be successful because one set OF citizens
often differs from another set, both i'll glory and
as to the objects of their agitation. In the
present instance for example, some of the men
whom a citizens committee propose to attack
are the benefciaries of the citizens move
ment, last fall Last falls citizens, there
FORE will hardly sympathize with those of this
fall and bad language might be used on both
sides which would not be pleasant to hear. On
the whole, therefore, in regard to Mr. FOleys
plan of reform no wise citizen will reach a
definite opinion until he knows more about it
all about il, in fact.

of Ward and Alexandre's lines, which costs

or the other and both Democrats and Repub-

methods in terms that cannot be mistaken. AT

A correspondent asks the price of gold and silver
IN March, 1866" The price of gold IL silver or
silver in gold can be determined only from British
qu,tatons, since there was at that time no market
for silver IN this country. The British average for
tbe year sos was ~ 4 pence gold per ounce silver
which would he equivalent to about ~ 2O33 III
gold coin of the United states for each ounce OF
silver In other words at that time the silver dollar
of Il2Io grams was worth about 81 O363 in gold OF
United states coinage. The price OF gold IN paper,
if that is desire l. var ed widely during the month
of March. opening the first at 1862. falling to
12j on the 9th of March, and closing at l2Nl2
on the 3lst. Properly speaking, these quotations
do not represent the price OF gold, but are measure
of the nuctuating value of the paper currency then
IN use Otherwise, If paper were regarded As the
thing having n stable value. II w0uld appear that
gold hal declined from an average of l3O in March,
1866 TO 100 or 23 per cent. Il itic more than the
decline of silver in gold value, which since 1856
has been 221i per cent.
