New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1885-12-06

Mr. Julian Hawthorne contributes some
bright sketches of people in London for
the 18th page of THE TRIBUNE this morning.
The article abounds in clever points and anec-
dotcs about English statesmen, some of whom
have already passed out of this life, while
others are on the verge of passing out. Their
disappearance, however, is not strange. The
strange and hard part of it to understand is
how any English statesman is able to survive
middle age, considering the work he has to do
and the hours he has to do it in.

The Senate has dealt admirably with the
duty devolved upon it by the Vice Presidents
death. 1t first offered the place, by the unani-
nous vote of the responsible majority, to the
man whom the Republican party chose for it,
and who was only cheated out of it by the sup
preston of the Republican vote at the South.
Then, when be preferred the more cOngenial
duties of the floor, it has bestowed the honor
upon the most experienced and eminent Repub-
Ican leader in its body. No man questions
John Sherman's conspicuous ability, or his stall
wart fidelity to Republican principles The
Senate serves the country and honoIs itself in
making Mr.. Sherman its presiding officer.

II will probably he cold comfort for King Chris

quential foreign father-In-law. to know that big
slice of tho heretofore unexplored east coast OF
Greenland has recently been called after him by
the discoveries; but such IT is, he NAV have to
make the most of 1t. The outlook in his troubled
little kingdom is no: promising. The prorogucd
Rigslag meets this month with the expressed de
termination TO treat the Government and its meas

scarce half dozen supporters. IL has been found
necessary To organize corps of mounted police IN

unfortiied town-to insure its loyalty IN an emer-

Amallenborg in 1851, the fire engines were found of

IL seems altogether probable that nothing short of
the abdcation of the old King in favor OF his more
liberal minded son will do it.

The feelings of the veteran shpbuilder,
John Roach, as he watched the launching of
the Chicago must have been bitter-sweet.
Bitter because he stood there ruined finan-
cally in his old age by the Government he had
served; sweet because he had lived to see the
last and largest of the war vessels which he
had contracted to build finished on the lines
he laid down and glide into the water--a noble
and complete vindicatOn of his reputation as
an honest and efficient shipbuiidcr. The Gov
eminent may have got the better Of Mr.. Roach
financially; but from every other point of view
the old man is way ahead in his tussle with the
Navy Department. The launching of the Chi
eago marked the hour of his triumph.
The result of the English lectiOns is still I'M
certain, but the best opinion is that the LibeT-
ais will not have a clear majority over the Con-
seryatives and Parnelltes. majority of only
a few votes, however, wOnld be of slight i'm
Dol lance to the party that held them. 1t is evil
dent that the Government could not be carried
OIL without the consent of the ParnelItes. The
prospect is therefore for a short, stormy session
of Parliament, and an early general election
next year. Then the Issue of disestablishment
may hold leading, il not the foremost place.
This 10 what Mr. Chamberlain promises In his
speeches, and evidently the Radical leader is to
have great Importance in the next canvass.
For this result the Tories only have themselves

tor Lees fruitful and eloquent address to
our agricultural and horticultural society.
at It's May meeting, was that which related
to the freight discrimination abuses of the
railroads and the interest that farmers have
IN the subject. As one of the representa-
tives OF the commonwealth in its highest
! assembly, speaking to the representatives
OF great material interest, this theme was
an entirely appropriate one; and the fitness
OF it gained rather than lost, from the fact
That Lancaster county's own two senators
and six representatives in the legislature
have been faithless to their constituents
faithless to their public duty and faitbless
to their constitutional oath in their attitude
to this question.
II was very fortunate for Senator Lee
and bis side of the discussion that one of
these representatives, w. II. Brosius, was
present to hear what was said, to essay his
own defense and to perceive the sentiment
OF his fellow-members on this subject. He
represents essentially an agricultural COM
munity, affected in no slight degree by
freight determinations, and he was elected
by the liberal support of the class of citi-
zens who heard the discussion between Lee
and Brosius. He confessed his own lack of
fidelity to their interests when he mani
Tested such apprehension lest he might be
suspected Of casting vote "to injure the
interests of this great corporation" which

his constituents and of the commonwealth.

Go away from home to hear the news.

IT is disclamed that Russia has designs
upon English supremacy i'm India, and very
good ground for this would be supplied in the
argument adduced were any other govern
ment in the matter than Russia. The size of
India is equal to three-quarters OF that of
Russia and Europe; its population amounts
to 253,000,0O0; its debt which would have 70
be assumed by Russia I'm case of annexation,
is over s600O0,000, about one-third of that of
Russia ITSELF Although its commerce
amounts to large sum-s260, 900, 900 of i'm
ports, Sil7, ,000,0 600 of exports-yet as most of
this is with England it would probably con-
tinue In the same route, it could not at once
be changed and go into the hands of Russia
by the annihilation OF British power in India,
nor indeed could Russia factories supply the
needs of the Indian market These are tre-
mendous responsibilities, it is certain, and
any country might well hesitate to assume
them. 1t is a question If England has in the
long run profited from them. But TO the
Russian, bigness is everything He has great
ideas of dimension and his covetous Dyes
may even take i'm India.

The first mortgage bondholders of the
Shenandoah Valley railroad company upon
an inspection of their securities of that bank
rupt concern are said to be astonished to find
that they contain clause which recites ''that
no holder or holders Of bond, or of any
bonds secured hereby, shall have the right to
institute any suit action or proceeding in
equity or in law for the foreclosure of this
indenture or the execution of the trusts
thereof, or for the appointment of receiver,
or for any other remedy, unless majority
in amount Of the holders of bonds then out
standing shall join in the proceedings
They will probably be more astonished TO
find what constitutes majority in amount
OF the holders of bonds and where they are
placed. The Shenandoah is very fair speci-
men of road built for speculation in its
securities and capitalized at twice its cost or
value.

TO decefve their constltueu(s ana reconcile
their easily-misled consciences.
Fortunately for the truth and unhappily
for Brosius, his constituents and the public
generally have had great enlightenment on
this Subject of late. More than ten years
ago the INTELLIGENCER, almost single
handed among the journals of this state,
began the contest for the enforcement of
the constitution, which governs all else
within the commopwealth's borders,
against even "ths great corporation "
which has repadiated its authority and set
at naugh its mandate. Since then we have
seer press and people come to our position,
until some of the most influential journals
Of the state lead the fight, and few
of them raise their voices on the other
side. Even the farmers of Lancaster
county have come to realize that it Is the
local freights of Pennsylvania which have
made "this great corporation - what it is /;
and that 1t has ridden rough-shod over the
very interests which have been the sources
OF all its wealth and prosperity. The
men who girded at Brosius in the
farmers meeting have been reading and
observing and thinking, and if they have
not heen regardful of the fundamental
law, they have at least been regardful of
their interests, which lie in fair rates and
against unjust and unconstitutional dis
ordinations.
Having battled for the right and the law
all these years, this journal gladly welcomes
converts and allies. The issue of the en-
forcement of the constitution cannot be
much longer delayed. If the Republican
party shall this year nominate for its state
ticket either of the candidates now strug-
Cling for the prize, it will invite the com.
bat. Mr.. Quay and Mr.. Magee, whatever
their present differences, have always been
the nimble servants and the trusted agents
of "this great corporation" in lassoing fol
its service the innocents like Brosius whom
a confiding constituency send to Harris
burg, only to tetray their interests.
