THE nomination Of Benjamin T. Briggs
for Governor of Delaware signifies that the
power Of Mr.. Bayard is broken, and that here
after the Democrats Of that State may take a
good square breath without asking his leave.
It is not a good idea for the members of any
party to feel that their success depends on any
one man. When any Statesman becomes
imbued with the idea that he is of more i'm
portance to his party than his party is to him,
it is time to teach him his mistake. He may
put it to the test himself by leaving his party,
when it will soon be demonstrated that the
individual is of very little Importance after
all. It is to be hoped that the Democrats of
Maryland will maintain their independence
from their ancient boss, who held the place as
a hereditary right.

no whit better than his clients, if, indeed he
be not worse, by reason of his superior intel
ligence, education and standing. If there be

would be an excellent man to be brought be-

be valuable lesson i'll the responsibility for
free speech that is necessary in a free country.

THE New York Third-avenue Elevated rail

The New York Third-avenue Elevated rail-
ways announcement that fares will be
reduced from ten to five cents for
all hours of the day safter October 1 is
in the right direction. The companies
that have enjoyed the monopoly of cary
rying passengers on the principal streets
Of the metropolis should do all in their power
to make their roads a convenience to the gem
eral public, so that all classes may ride with
out feeling that they cannot afford it. The
Sixth-avenue road still keeps the rate at ten
cents, but will probably come down to the
lower figure and there is talk that one of the
lines will make a three-cent rate soon. The
charter of such corporations should pro-
vide that there should be no immoderate
profit demanded on the real cost of con-
struction and maintenance A fair valuation
should be placed on this kind of property, and
upon this there should be allowed a certain
per cent. of profit, and when that is realized
there should be a stop put to high rates for
transportation. The watering Of stock should
not be allowed to serve as an excuse for high
rates of fare
