Considering the fact that the Hon. Sunset COx's
constituents are so fevershly eager for him to abide
with them, it is remarkable with what unanimity
they restrain their bubblng emotions. There can be
no Dssbe doubt bu. that their anxious breasts are
stirred with the deepest sorrow at the thought oil
him 80 far away. because Mr.. Cox tells us 80. His
career ia search OF political will o the wisps has
awakened Their profound admiration. His green
and yellow livery with IT'S belled cap aud glded
sceptre has been their londest pride They regard
his jrsts with the reverence due to their age aud
intricacy. aud consider him as a whole indispensable
To- their happiness. There can be no doubt of this,
for We have sunsets" word FOL it.
Bat small and enyious souls exist oTtrywhere. and
.yrn among Mr. Cox's constituents there are those
mean enough to say that he has been buihng the
President all tbs while. and never really meant TO
20 To Turkey. They actually go so nr IN their
lnendacIous jealousy 70 deny that his dear con-
stituents are weeping at the thought OF ms near
departure and refuse to be comfOrted. And-who
wunld believe it!-thcy have the brazen ehrohtery
10 declare that Sunset" has lost his grip aud
couldn't secure denomination for Congress next
year. aud Is DOW engaged in an attempt To make a
deal with the County DEMOCRACY looking 10 that
result holding on to his Turkish IN ssIon in the
meanwhile, after the manner of the man who be-
hevrs that half a loaf is better than no bread.
Of cour-e these are wicked stories. Mr.. COx's
constituents love him the seaweed loves the clam
The only reason why they don't 90 To Washington
10 aocks and impore him on their Blended knees not
TO abandon them Is because their grief Is TOO sacred
to be exposed 10 the cold eyes of an unsympathetc
world which has no conception ct the loss they are
sn,tatning So soon as they can sufficiently control
their emotions they intend To besieSe tim with petit
tons to remain while the slow aud ducet strains
of the Marine Band minglc with tho voice of their
lamentations. In the meantime, with delicacy
we capnot too warmly commend, Mr. Cox reirIins
from accepting the mission aud waits tenderly to
receive them.
Among all the pictures OF loving souls torn apart

sion. II il on the theory that Congress could not
with equity set up new State upon part OF the
territory of Virginia, without attaching to that
new State n part of the debt of Virginia that
the whole proceedings of the Readjusters were
based. Aud it cannot be den led that in this
respect the claims of Virginia had some founda-
ton in equity.
In respect to the methods chosen for securing
the new settlement General Malone shows
that they did not deprive the creditor OF a
straightforward legal remedy, and that the SUI
preme Court in one of the recent cases has so
decided But here again the acts of the Malone
party are commonly COMPOUNDED with those of
the Democratic party after its recovery of
power and the letter of Senator Malone points
out with great force that the most olous and
aagrantly d shonest measures in the whole his
tory of population were those enacted by the
Democratic Legislature last year, which the
Supreme Court has recently held unconstltu-
tional. He urges that the Democratic party,
as it has proved by its whole course prior to
1879 and since 1888, does not intend honestly
to pay the debt, or the interest, or to support
the public schools. He urges, on the other
hand, that those who have supported him have
solemnly pledged themselves, and do intend, to
pay that part of the debt which was recognized
in the Riddleberger settlement, and that they
will adhere in good faith to that settlement, re-
pudiating for themselves the dishonest meas
ures attached to it by t lie Democrats in 1884.
The letter presents the case very strongly and
however men may dissent as to the justice OF
Mahone's course, as THE TRIBUNE has dis
scented for reasons heretofore given, or how
ever much some features of Senator MahOnes
explanation may even now fail to command ap-
prevail, it will be found impossible to deny, in
the light of the facts thus set forth, that Malone
and his followers are infinitely more entitled to
respect than the repudating Democrats who
once claimed to call themselves debt-payers,
but were in fact regulators before 1879, and
proved that they were regulators still in

AFTER TWENTY.THREE YEARS.

The promotion of Mr.. McMullen to the
Appraisership of this Port was hailed by the
thick -and-thin admirers of the Cleveland
Administration as ginning example of the
unrest and hottest sort of Civil Service Reform.
II is true that Mr.. McMulleu had served a
long time in the department, but it is also true
that his sympathics and utterances while the
Rebellion was in progress were of that coppery
kind which has been so highly favored and
hunored at Washington since the fourth OF
March. If Mr.. McMullen had been Repub-
lican or even War Democrat it Is not likely
that he would have received his promotion.
A striking instance of what Republicans may
expect under the Manning Higgins Mem ullen
order of affairs is furnished by the discharge
this week of the nephew OF John Greenleaf
Whittier after more than twenty-three years OF
fai thful service ia the Appraisers Department
Is that the sort of Civil Service Reform which
commenGs itself to George William Curtis

TOO IJBERAL yITH PUBLIC MONEY.

TOO LIBERAL NTH PUBLIC MONbi'
This has been a generous Legislature. ANY
d ublic official who wanted MS saia'J
raised or the appropriation Tor MS ue
partnent enlarged has been regarded WIN
benevolent eye. The one requisite necessary
for a bill TO commend itself to the favor OF
certain influential element at Albany has been
that it would add to the public expenditure
We are sorry to see that our New-forK Oi'y
delegation has been especially active ana ener-
getic in promoting schemes to make heavier 'he
burdens of the taxpayers But these WARM
hearted legislators should check their amlaoie
impulse and remember that taxation Is al
ready excessive.
The police and the fremen are dong
uncommonly well. Never before has TINS
city been so little disturbed by unprovokeh
murders, great burglaries, highway robDerles
or attacks of any sort on the peaceaDly as
posed; and in peace and order New ork COM
pares we'll with any other great city IN inc
world. Our firemen also arc active ana ViGiiah'
and the hundreds of millions of property storeu
in our ry-goods district and other wealthy
quarters are we'll guarded. The city Is not
ungrateful and does not reward its wearers OF

will never check the Legislature in any reason
able action for the benefit of our policemen or
firemep.
But our Albany law givers have heaped up
bountics with both hands In provisions Tor
pensions, in increase of pay and privileges they
have been lavish indeed. Senator Plunkitts bill
which has gone to the Governor does not stop
with the rank and file but proposes to raise the
salaries of police surgeons.
Now the police force of this town is composed
chiefly of men in sound ply steal condition and
of great vigor. Their habits are regular ana
their way of life is temperate. They don't
require much medical attendance. Emergency
cases at the station houses do not tax the sur
geons severely. In fact, we believe the most
laporious task which some of the surgeons nave
to encounter is the drawing of their pay. That
being the case it would be barbarous to
make their toll more severe by raising the
sum to be drawn. Moreover, Governor Hill ana
the Legislature during these wasting hours OF a
prodigal session should not forget that these
are hard dimes. The great body of the people
feel the pinch of narrowed means. Is this, then
the season for making our taxes higher

AN EYAMPLE OF CRO5S PURPOSES


The selection Of Mr. Graves to BIO superintendent
of tho Bureau of Engraving and Printing at Wash
incton is full of curious inconsistencies. 1t Is an
evident example OF the cross purposes at which
the Administration and the Democratic party are
playing. BY party vote tho Democrats IN
both branches Of the last Congress sustained
the appropriation of q large SUN OF money
TO be expended for permanent plant for the bu-
reau. which was thus to be enabled print postage
stamps and envelopes as well as bank notes and
bonds Inc measure was defeated in the Senate.
IL would have added 1000 To 5000 names to tao
army of ofice-holders
While tho party Is thus committed to the policy
of sustaining tao Bureau, Mr. Graves Is we'll
known to be opposed to It. Some i've years ago he
was one Of a commission of three which was APP
pointed TO examine the Bureau and investigate lts
advantages and dlsaiyaltages. Their report
favored the limitation OF the work Of the Bnreau

The Democratic politicians who hopeo 10
score strong point against the kepuoiican
party this fall because Republican Legislature
had made an attack on Civil Service reform,
must be bitterly disappointed. The Earl OIL
exempting veteran soldiers and sailors from the
examinations of the State Civil Service law was
practically killed yesterday in the Senate. by
n vote of 10 to 8 it was sent to the JUDICIARY
Committee for consideration. and it will not be
uossible to consider and report it back before
the day of adjournment. Possibly the Demo-
CRITIC managers will understand now that after
aIl il is not an easy task to get Republican Sen
a.ors to pull hot chestnuts out OF the IRE lor
them.
The chances that an arcade railroad will be
builtsome day, have been increased by the action
of the Assembly in amending the bill relating
to its construction, IN regard to time. Probably
the elevated, and certainly the surface, roads
give the public more cOnveniences then. Sur
face cars and trains going uptown at nlght or
downtown in the morning are crowded beyond
comfort. Perhaps the managers OF the trains
run all they can consistent with safety ana the
length of their station platforms but the sur
face lines could put on more cars and make all
OF them go faster.
