II cannot be denied that the Brooklyn extern

the bonds can be sold easily. others declare
that they would find no purchasers me
strongest objection to the amendments Is tna'

Internationally the extra fare-four cents

MONEY IND BUSINESS.

With war abroad more probable than at any
other time this year, the average price OF sixty
stocks is only $40 7S-lower than it has been
at any time since early in January. Though
prices of grain advanced last week, they are
not as high as they were about the middle OF
the month, when peace was deemed probable
and Komarof1 was making explanations. Now
Russia refuses to explain any further, but iron
and steel and provisions are weaker, as well as
cotton /; and oil is stagnant at 7S7s about gig
cents lower than it was month ago. The ex-
changes continue to show remarkable inactivity
in business, falling 37l2 per cent below last
year Mt New-York, and z per cent elsewhere !;
the accumulation of idle money in the banks
increases, the surplus passing $53,000,000;
the Treasury loses $1,000,000 gold and
againsn So, 100000 silver in week and the
rate of sterling exchange closely approaches the
gold-exporting point
To record these phenomena is easier than to
explain them, but some explanations are obvi-
ous 1t is evident, for instance, that there nre
no such foreign purchases of American securi-
ties as to balance the dIsheartenng influence of
long continued msmanagement and wrangling
and rate-cutting among the railroads. Rate
agreements seem to have no virtue, though
there may be some intentional exaggeratiun in
the reports telegTaphed from the West. The
belief that the Central Traffic Association will
bring relief is general, but no visible relief has
come as yet. Mr.. Huntington is said to be con-
fdent that the Pacific roads and the Pacific
Mail will soon agree, but the agreement has not
vet been reached. Reading litigation draws
near a crisis of some sort, but If the end Is to
be an effort to market all the coal the company
can, the present disregard of published rates by
| some companies will seem abundantly justified
West Shore plans are too numerous az the
sands of the sea-shore for multitude, and also
for Conference Settlement of suits about the
| title to the Missouri Pacific removes some OBJ
stacles, but the foreclosure of the Texas and st.
Louis does not promise season of great profit
to the Southwestern roads, and the cutting in
| the Northwest seems to grow worse. Trans
porting more tonnage than ever before, the
railroads are making small profits.
Though last weeks warm weather made a
great change in crop prospects, wheat advanced
3 cents, corn cents, and oats nearly cents
but there is no increase in the export demand,
which the rise in prices checked some time age
| While the gamblers are engaged in deciding
which of them shall lose, other pioducers supply
European wants, and if prices are kept so high
as to encourage spring seeding, there will GER
tainly be enough wheat on hand next fall t.
save US all from starvation. The curtailment

REGULATING THE PRICE OF Gas.

REGULATING THE PRICE OF GAS.
The Gas bill is a special order for tomorrow
in the Assembly. The people OF New ork
demand that their representatives shah give
this subject their most earnest attention. we
have printed letters from Clarence A. Seward
and others pointing out inconsistencies In tne
measure as it stands. Mr.. Stewards words
carry weight and it is the duty of our legsla-
TORS to amend the bill so far as it may be neces-
sary to meet all reasonable objections.
Every member of the Assembly shouio un-
derstand. however, that no Sinking, no III
Judged delay and no yielding to the lopDy VIII
be tolerated. The great majority OF mousse
holders and owners of property have maze up
their minds that they have been heeced Ior
years by the gas companies, who nave pileu up
exorbitant profits at their expense. Ihese cor
norations have made use of the special privi-
Iepes which the community has given them TO
extort from the users of gas millions OF dollars
to which they had no just claim. Inc evil
dence taken before the investigating committee
in this city recently was not needed 10 con-
vince the consumers of gas that they had been
forced to pay prices out OF all reasonable pro-
norton to the cost of manufacture. Ihey oe-
mand relief from the Legislature with an en-
phasis which no Assemblyman can AFFORD TO
disregard. The monster petitions sent to
Albany, the attitude of the press in the matter,
the vote of 20 to / by which the Gas bill passed
the Senate all show the strength OF public
feeling.
A great deal of nonsense has been printed
lately about "a too paternai government
and the claim has been graveiy put forward
that the Legislature has no more right 10 regu-
late the profits of gas companies than the price
of bread or butter. Well, when our bakers and
butter-makcrs begin tearing up our streets to
carry ON their business, and when they insist
ON charging the community which grants them
enormously valuable special privileges more
than double the actual cost of their bread and
their butter, we think the bakers and dairymen
will be taken in hand promptly. This gas
business has got 10 point where its regulation
is indispensable.

DEMOCRATIC STATISTICS, OR NONE.


II appears that Secretary Lamar wants
reform in new direction. The kind OF
statistics the world has been getting hitherto
does not please him. 1t must be admitted that
the statistical information supplied to the
public has not been by any means favorable to
Democratic notions. But when the new Com
missioner of Labor Statistics, MIR. wright,
submitted the names of fifteen competent
persons to serve as his assistants, the Secretary
discovered with indignation that certain OF
the gentlemen named were Republicans.
Clearly this would not do. If the Administra-
ton cannot have Democratic statistics, II VIII
not have any. Mr.. Wright was accordingly
informed that those Of the persons named who
were known to the Secretary as Republicans,
and therefore aoffensivc parlisans," could not
be appointed If Mr. Wright can find gentle
men who will discover and report Democratic
statistics or none there will be no difficulty.
There have been indications for some time
that the Democratic party, rs soon "a 1t could
secure the power, would make war on current
information generally. Hostilities began during
the session of Congress more than year ago.
when the publication OF statements OF imports
and exports, and other statistical matter OF
great usefulness TO business men, was stopped
by n provision of law that no part OF the money
appropriated should be expended in such pub
LEGATION. 1t could not have been sald that these
printed sheets were in any respect partisan In
character, excepting as a school-house or n
spelling book is of necessity anti-Democratic.
But it was not at that time generally supposed
that the reformed Democracy would deiiber-
ately set itself to reconstruct the worlds in
formation. According to Secretary Lamar
however, one of the things particularly needed
ut present is reform in statistics. The Govern
ment will have Democratic facts, or no facts
| ar all.

REFORM Is NECESSITY.

President Cleveland is reported as saying that
he intended by his acts to influence the colored
men to vote with the Democrats. That Is a
praiseworthy aim. If he can maize the conduct
and the policy of his party such that colored
citizens Will support it, he will make 1t an IN
finitely better party than ever before. Here II
nowhere else reform is necessary, as the Sage OF
Cipher Alley used to say. There is no o5her re-
form so much needed, indeed, as reform OF the
Democratic party in its spirit toward an l treat
ment of the coored citizens II President
Cleveland can work out that great reform il
he can 80 completely make over and reeenerate
his party that a colored man can vote for 1t
with some self-respect, and without feeling
meaner than Esau when he sold his BIRTH
right for mess of pottage, he will do great
and good work.
But the President seems to have wrong Idea
about the way to do this work. He fancies, II
one may Judge from what he says that the rlght
way is to keep some colored men In Office ana 10
mt some others into Office That would be the
way. il the colored man were creature COM
| posed of stomach only, with no higher concep-
| tions or aims than the beasts that perish. But
| the colored man is in fact not q chatte as DEM
ocrats suppose not beast OF the held with
nothing higher In him than an appetite. lie Is
| citizen. He has duties and rights as a
citizen. The only way to make party ilt Tor
him is to protect him to the full in his rights as
citizen. and in the free discharge of his duties.
That is not to be done by buying up here and
| there few colored men with office.
aReform is necessary" and particularly now.
If Mr.. Cleveland will begin by teaching his
Secretary of State that one who does not know
how to be a gentleman in his treatment Of a
Union soldier with dark skin is not lit to be
Secretary of State, he will take one step toward
reform. IL he will then make Mr.. Lamar and
Mr.. Garland feel that they must stop the carry
ing of elections at the South by " the Mississippi
man. that will be step toward reform.
II is said, though, that there can be no true
reform without repentance and restitution. Mr.
Cleveland himself was elected by robbne
colored citizens of their rights. 1t may be that
no stem toward reform that he can take will
have much effect, unless he shows true repent
ance and gives up the Office to which the in
famous crimes of his supporters lifted him
That is not to be expected, of course. But if he
GOES on keeping and enjoying the fruits of that
great crime against the rights of the colored
neonle. and if he keeps in his Cabinet men whit
could hold no office to-day if colored citizens
had not been robbed, and il he uphOlds Mr.
Bayard in his discourtesy to faithful Unior
soldier. it is to be feared that any reform h,
may attempt will not have much effect will

oFfycE.BROKIhG AT WASHlYGToN

The revival of the Office broking mt Washing
ton. or rather species of blaclimail and swim
ding under pretcnce of office broking, is inter
estinr In more ways than one. In the first
Mace Il is clear that the success OF the rascals
who pretend to sell offices depends largely upon
the prevalence of belief that the Civil Service
reform professions of the new Administration
are not sincere. The people who want office
MAINLY believe that il is possible to buy their
,vav into one. despite all published laws, rules
ond reoulations And in the second place,
Ambition. like Fashion, subjects its votaries to
many Inconvenience. If, for example, the
question were of obtaining n clerkship in a
merchants Office, at salary of, say, $1,000 a
wear. the applicant would not think 1t right to
pay from 800 to $500 for the appointment.
One reason of this probably is that he would
know his retention of the place must depend
upon his capacity, whereas at Washington many
of the applicants are utterly unit, and know
themselves to be so, but hope to retain thtir
places through influence"
The fact that the sham oiice-brokers drive
50 brisk trade, however, indicates among
other things the existence of some real Office
broking. Such pretence could not be MAIN
famed without some substantial facts behind it,
and the mpostors probably are fortified with at
least n few cases in which offices have been
TINS obtained 1t is of course quite apparent
that the persons who go to Washington, hang
about for weeks and months, and are willing
then to pay a smart bonus for n petty Office,
are anything but worldly wise. The Washing
ron clerk is not as n rule an enviable being. lie
ia bcset with fears at brief intervals His head
always feels loose or his shoulders. His pay is
Inadequate to support him and his family COM
fortably He feels that he has lost his place
in the business world. And yet ut every
change of Administration men and women
tbrong to Washington burning with eagerness
to obtain places, and many of them are even
willing to mortgage their salaries for year oil
two in order to CRAFTY one of the emptiest and
most elusive of small ambitions. 1t is upon
such weaknesses that tho predaccous sham
Office brokers fatten.
