THE TRIAL or JIEHNE.

Few District Attorneys are called upOn to
perform more important duty than that which
falls to Mr.. Marines lot to-day. The trial OF
Alderman Jaehne for receiving bride OF
$4,000 will begin this morning in the Court
of Oyer and Termner, and rs Justice Barrett
has said that he would accept no excnse for
delay there is every reason to believe that the
efforts of the defence to have the trial put OIL
if any are made. will be of no avail. That the
defence would prefer postponement to an in-
mediate trial cannot be doubted, as the hope
would be that the public feeling against brib-
cry, which is now 50 strong, might cool down
after few weeks OF months.
Attention has already been directed to the
attempts of jurv-fsers to tamper with the men
who may be called to pass upon the evidence
for and against Jaehne, and to the precautions
taken by the authorities to bring these attempts
to naught. If any jury-fxers are caught IN
their nefarious work it will go hard with them.
But after the jury has been chosen it is essen
tial that the evidence In the District Attorneys
possession should be so presented, so linked to-
gcther and amply cOrroborated, that all the
efforts of the defendants lawyers shall be
puwerless to overthrow it. The case has doubt
less been thoroughly worked up"; but the
District Attorney and his able assistants Will
be opposed by n strong array of counsel, who
will take adj, antage of every weak point, who
will strive in every way to break down the
prosecutions witnesses, and who have an I'M
limited supply of money at their command.
We believe that Mr.. MARITIME fully understands
the responsibility resting upon him. Public
opinion is unanimous and odtspoken in its de-
mand that the prosecution must not fail. That
Jaehne is guilty no one doubts. Can he be
proved guiltyi That is the question for Mr..
MARITIME to answer.

turn government and society. But they per-
fectly comprehend that an addition of 20 per
cent or even less to the cost Of production If
going to make difference which cannot be
estimated in the condition of manufacturing
industry, and that many people who have
money are going to wait before they put more
of it within the reach of trades unions.
Prices in the markets for products were unu-
sually irregular last week, wheat declining to
9Ols cents for May on Thursday and then re-
covering IS cent, while corn steadily advanced
liz, and oats declined a quarter. Sugar was
weaker, brown an eighth and crushed quar-
ter; but coffee was steady. Provisions were
weaker pork % cents per barrel and lard

print cloths advanced sixteenth In iron and
steel no change of Importance is noted, but tin
declined 20 cents per 100 lbs. A good sign Is
the increasing exports of wheat, which have
been much Lar ger since prices declined, and all
the crop reports continue remarkably favorable.

they can win nineteen Assembly seats from the
Republicans, they will have. majority OF TWO
in the Joint sessions of the Assembly and Sena'e'
and thereby be able to elect aUnted States Sen

doubtless the party managers think they stand
a better chance of success this year than for
many years past because the Administrator
can help them. Certainly if they fail it Will not
be their fault. But the review of the situation
contained in the letter referred to shows that
the Republicans can win unless something I'M
usual should happen. The members OF Doth

TROUBLE IN BURN III.

The defeat in Burmah is calculated to dis
turb both the Inlian and home governments,
though perhaps 1t ought not to surprise them
after the accounts of what happened on the
Burmese New Year, on the 18th of last month.
Although General Pendergast had receiv ed
warning that an outbreak was being prepared.
the day being taken advantage of as a general
festival, no prec iutions We're taken. When the
small band of insurgents in Mandalay began to
set fires in different parts of the city the
authorities seem to have been paralyzed with
surprise at first, and for some time merely
looked on. There was no difficulty in putting
down the incipient insurrection when action
was at last taken, but "a loss OF moral prestige
resulted for the British, and this was shortly
after rendered more serious by the defeat
which small expedition suffered from some of
the hill-me 1t is therefore not wonderful that
the adher, MS of the Aompra Princes have
plucked up courage and recommended disturb
ances and incendiarism at Mandalay. What is
somewhat astonishing is the reputed assertion
of General Pendergast that he cannot deal with
the situation unless he is given achievements.
For some time past evidence has been COM
ing from Burmah Of a character to warrant the
reunited charges made against the conduct of
the expedition. Ii has in fact begun to appear
more than probable that the success attained
was due far more to happy chance than TO
Judgment and that if any serious resistance had
been made to the expedition by the Burmese it
could not have reached Mandalay without
heavy reinfOrcements. Since the occupation OF
the Burmese capital the English commander
and commissioner have been accused of un-
pardonable ST. ggishness and lack of vigilance.
1t is said that they have encouraged rebellion
and invited attack by refusing to take the most
necessary precautions, and by letting Dacoiiy
get such Roadway in the country that il could
not be suppressed when at length tardy effort
was made to put it down. 1t is not credible
that the British have been driven out of
Mandalay, as one of the dispatches asserts. The
alleged incer dial ism there could very easily be
carried On in their presence. however. as the
events of April proved. 1t Is possible that re-
Inducements are more needed at headquarters
than anywhere else. and Lord Duaerin may lind

COMMISSIONER SQUIRE W1NIS TOO MUCH.
The members of the Legislature should act
with great caution on the sc-called Bruins bill,
which increases the powers of the Department
of Public Works. 1t was extensively amended
in the Assembly last week, but the work was so
hnrrIedly and carelessly done, that the bill, as
it now stands, is full Of contradictions and con
fusion, and it will be necessary to go all over it
again. As introduced it was an extremely OBJ
ectonable measure, enlarging enormously
Commissioner Squire's authority and the area
of his departments operations. 1t would have
made the Commissioner of Public Works the
most powerful head of department that New
York ever saw, having in his charge far more
territory and a far more comprehensive and i'm
portant system than this department or any
other had even in the days of the Tweed Ring.
The DEPARTMENT is already unwieldy. Not a
foot of land, not dollar of expenditure, should
be added to it. Within its present limits it is
big enough to tax the best executive ability
that the city can command to do it justice
There has been no expression of public sentl-
ment in favor of expanding it. Commissioner
Squire should earn the confidence of the COM
munitv before he stretches out his hands to
grasp greater things than those he now con-
trolls. 1t would be silly to deny that he does
not now enjoy that appreciation which only
faithful, disinterested devotion to duty cal Sc
itself to the judicious even if there is no bar
gain behind it. If there is bargain it is dis
graceful to all concerned in it.

TILE DOCK BILL IT ALBANH

The Dock Department bill, which recently
passed the Senate. and was amended in the AS
sembly, will prove useful and valuable
measure, if the amendments can be taken Off
As the Senate adopted it the act was the result
of long and careful Investigation on the part OF
leading members of New York's most import
ant commercial bodies. 1t wOuld have made
the work of the department more efficient and
improved the system of administration. But
in the Assembly it has been so loaded down
with amendments as seriously to impair if not
altogether TO destroy its usefulness.
There has been ample evidence before the
public from time to time of the need of an i'm
.provement in dock affairs. This Oil as it was
sent to the Legislature gave promise OF securing
that Improvement. The Assembly should not
insist on its amendments, the effect of which
will not be to the public interest.

RIRCHING CONC RENS.

| President Cleveland begi-s to show his tenn
per- His party has been barking at him ever
since he went INTO the White House. Now, he
retorts by exposing in singularly stinglng
message the amazing incompetence and reck-
lessuess of his party in the House. 1t appears
| from his message that the Democratic House
PASSED $40 special bills, which were sent to the
President the same day, appropriatlng money
amounting to $780, 900 yearly to pensioners,
contrary to decisions of the Pensions Bureau In
81 6 cases, while "a cases had never been pre-
scented to that bureau. The carclcssness
with which Congress performed this work
is illustrated by the bill which the President
vetoes, in which a pension was granted TO
Andrew j. fill. though the medical certificate
accompanying the report and bill showed that
the House meant to give some money to Alfred
J. Hill.
The President says, with mach justice, that
Congress ought either to rely far more than it
does upon the examinations of the Pensions Bu-
reau or if the Bureau Is not faithful or actuated
by right spirit, 1t ought to be reOrganlzed.
short way to reOrganize it is within the power
of the President rather Than of Congress. He
can at once turn out that VIGOROUSLY unworthy
"physica wreck Commissioner Black, who is
himself taking money from the Government to
which he is not justly entitled. and with him
the whole crew of political strikers and unre
pentapt rebels who have been insultingly
placed in that bureau If the President will
not perform a duty so obvious, because OF
reasons personal to himself or to the physical
wreck" he cannot be surprised to find that
representatives. of his own party in like manner
disregard public interests in trying to please
any constituents who are supposed to
have votes benind them. The President
fails to see himself as others see him." But his
censure of Congress is perfectly deserved. and
there is a possibility that it may do some good.
If members have only contempt for the Presl-
dents recommendations. they will at least be
compelled to remember that he has Il veto and
fondness for using it. Indeed, the marvellous
thing about the whole matter is that he I'D not
veto the whole batch OF 2I0 bills, concerning
which he states that the balance OF evidence
was unfavOrable TO the claimants. just how he
will jusrify his neglect to veto these bills under
the circumstances, and his determination to
permit them to become operative, does not
quite appear. If there was any occasion for his
message, there was certainly occasion to require
Congress 20 examine the cases with more care.

1t is nothing, really, against a man that he

deceived twice by the same person. If he Is,
he deserves ridicule instead of sympathy.
