The Tribune this morning says that "the
full recovery Of Secretary Manning is sin
cerely desired by the whole business world.
II does not often happen that political oppo-
nents, as well as political friends, unite in SO
earnest a desire for the continuance Of a man
in place of high trust" OF the Arbitration
bill II thinks that the debate In the Senate
may develop more fully matured views, but at
all events the bill will doubtless be promptly
passed. 1t cannot see how any constitutional
objection can be raised to it.
The Herald referring to the variety of gas
legislation proposed at Albany, says: "Gas
for light like coal for heat, is a necessary of
life with rich and poor alike, and an exor.
bitant enhancement Of its price is morally
and practically an outrage on society, though
technically II may not be crime. The com.
mittee's report has proved that this outrage
has been committed; that gas consumers are
mulcted here daily to pay dividends on stock
to the nominal amount Of more than twenty
millions of dollars which is pure water"
The World says Of the bloodshed at Fort
Worth, growing ont of the railroad strike,
that "Hhen that point is reached there can be
but one result unless complete anarchy Is TO

are to be oyerthrown tho contest
becomes one between organized society and
Its enemies, and there must be victory on
one side or the other. There can be no COM
promise in the nature of things"
The Times Is In favor OF the Dave, bill rel
atiye to the Sioux reservation IN Dakota and
of opening TO settlement all surplus lands, or
lands In excess OF their needs now held by
the Indians. "All friends Of thu Indian and
supporters Of the treaties should welcome
the opportunity to advocate such legislation
as the Senate bill proposes. As for the tariff
bill, the articles chosen for the free list IL Is
clear that they have been properly chosen,
The star Is inclined to think the appropra-
tion Of $500 900 for the Lincoln statue exces.
sive "it is not easy TO understand why II
should have exceeded SEQ 900 at the most.n
II says that the outrage at Fort Worth was
evidently the work of desperate men for
whom no labor organization should be held
responsible.
The SIN says: "As to the adyisabIlIty of
arbitrations as method of settling difficulties
between employers and workingnen there ia
no longer any question. The best means
however, Of making arbitration effeotual and
satisfactory are not so cleas" Referring to
the "tantrums Of fortune" In the case of the
New York Aldermen, II exclaims: "Alas for
the hckleness of Fortunel The Alderman
comes high but Is brought low"

THE want of space for the storage of
silver dollars is favoritc argument of
those who oppose the further coinage
of them. But the same men forget
that ten times the space is devoted to
the storage of printed public documents
which are hauled about the country at
large expense for the benefit of the
railway mail contractors and never
read. If the earth is so crowded as to
forbid the erection of more vaults, new
ones might be suspended in the air as
gardens are in China.

THE President is said to have gained
forty-two pounds since his Inaugural
tion. This won't do. His health is q
matter in which the people have large
interest. A daily scrlmmage with some
of the opponents of his Mugwump pro-
clivities would do him good. Or he
might try a trotting horse, or daily
conversation with General Logan.

THAT 1t pays to be popular exhortcr
and revivalist has been demonstrated
in the case of nearly every one Of that
class of men. The work that Sam
Jones and Sam Small have been con-
ducting in Chicago closed yesterday.
There were three services, one in n
church and two In! the big Casino rink.
AT each Of the two latter services at
least ten thousand people were present
and collections were taken up. The
amount realized by the collections was
divided between Nessrs. Jones and
Small, and it, with the salaries guaran-
tecd them in advance, gave each of
those gentlemen the neat sum of SO, 900
each for their services in Chicago. But
there seems to be no doubt that the
Jones-Small meetings. have accom-
plished much good.

The OPPONENTS Of the silver dollar
make thin argument when they
claim that the expectation Of gold is
due to the coinage of silver. The sim
pie and selfeyident truth is that II our
people buy more foreign goods than
they sell of their own the difference
has to be paid in money or bullion at
Its market value. II the silver dollar
should be abolished the payment OF
this difference would still have to be
made, and 1t would take just rs much
gold as 1t does now to make It. 1t is
not, then, the coinage of silver that
drives gold away from the country, If
any is going, but the failure of our
people TO sell as much as they buy.
Many people believe that when the
boycott of the silver dollar ceases prices
will be more favorable to ali enter.

triguing to create a pro Russia senti-

bound TO get to India If she can, and
looks upon the present condition of
things in England as constituting a very
opportunc time for her to make the
venture.
A wellinformed correspondent in
London says that Russia will by no
means find England as unprepared as
she thinks, for, true to her policy, she
is busy laying the foundation for alli-
ances by which she can induce other
people to fight her battles for her. The
spring outlook in Europe is by no

NOT A CANDIDATE.

Bob Taylor announces that he is
nOta candidate for United States
Senator; says it would not be treat
ing his friends right who lahore d
for him in his election for Governor.
He also states in the same CONVEX
satiOn that If his brother had not
been a candidate against him he
would have received $1,000 MAORI
ty instead of 10000. This statement
may do to cover up his boosted ma
jOrity of 10000 votes. The TIMES
believes that if he had had a COM
petitor different from his brother
he would have been driven to the
wall on his defenseless positions
and have received as small a ma
jority as did Governor Bate. ALI
Taylor treated Bob with great con.
siderati0n. 1t is the opinion of
some that it was unfortunate for
the Republicans that the two can
didates were brothers.

THE LATE CAMPAIGN.

The Democratic State Central
Committee presented Mr.. Arm.

vile American, with gold watch
for his work as correspondent for
that paper; and for this action Of
the Committee it is getting its jack.
ct warmed by the Democratic press
over the country in some very
sharp criticisms. While Armeil is
brilliant writer, yet his service to
the party was not beneficial; be.
sides, Bob Taylor suffered by his
extravagant assertions. No party
ever gains anything by extrava.
gance in statements, and especial.
ly if 1t amounts to untruthfulness
If Armeil managed the campaign
for Bob Taylor he is not safe as a
manager. Without any organiza.
tioL or money enough to pay All
TaylOr's expenses, he was sent out
unprotected and alone, to fight q
great political battle, and yet the
Democratic party only beat him a
little over $1,000 votes. With good
leaders and speakers in the field
and with money enough for all lie.
Ultimate expenses, ALI Taylor
would have been our next Govern.
or. But 1t is hard to organize the
Republican party in the middle and
western part Of the State; the vote
comes largely from colored people,
and every obstacle is thrown in the
way of their going to the polls. In
Eastern Tennessee, where white
Republicans predominant, the lead.
ers fail to carry the substantial men
Of the party, because their habits
Of life are such as not to commend
them as examples to be followed.
Thus il is difficult to succeed. The
principles of the Republican party
are what the people wanted, and yet
they voted the Democratic ticket;
and when we look at our leaders is
it not q wonder that we carried
Eastern Tennessee?

THE COUNTY COURT SYSTEM

Cut the County Court into four
Commissioners Districts, and let
the four Commissioners and the
County Judge compose the County
or Commissioner Court. Nearly
all the States have dropped the old
and cumbersome plan of the COun.
ty Court composed Of magistrates.
The Commissioners Court would
do wiser and better work, and be-
sides be much less expensive.
The TIMES is pleased to call at
tention to the above article from
the Shelbyville Commercial. Some
months since this subject was dis
cussed briefly in our columns
and was endorsed by a number of
the papers Of Tennessee. 1t would
be we'll to say that the experiences
of a number of States has been ia
vorable to the election of but three
Commissioners.
The County Court Clerk stands
in Tennessee in the place of Aud
itOr OF the County, who acts as
Clerk of the Board. One Of the
Commissioners is elected President,
and he signs the records of proceed
ings as President, while the Audit
or signs as Clerk. The law provides
for quarter sessions, yet on the
call of the Auditor and President
Of the Board a special session can
be held to do special business, but
nothing else. The length of the
session is not limited, but as gen.
eral proposition the body remains
in session two or three days, ex-
cept when settling with the town.
ship trustees. Counties are divided
into three districts, so that each
district has Commissioner. These
three men, with the Auditor, does
all the County business. Their pay
is regulated by law; some States
pay two dollars per day, Others pay
three dollars. 1t is the aim Of all
counties to elect the best men they
have. The system works we'll and
gives general satisfaction. 1t is
cheaper and better than the magis-
terial system, as it is not SO ponder

slowly. Eighteen to twenty.seven

from 5000 to 5000 per year, saying
nothing of the County Court Clerk,

in States that have adopted the
Commissioner plan. In this plan il
is so arranged that there are al.
ways two old Commissioners in
