wool growers and manufacturers, and those IN
terested in the salt and fishing industries would
be expected to assist in the future in breaking
down the industries that escape at this time. In
that respect it is most dangerous measure.

SHALL THE MINORITY BE ST1FLEDf

SHALL TIE MINORITY BE S1IFLEDf
The proposal to elect our Aldermen hereafter
on general ticket has been eagerly received by
the public, as aiiordng an apparent relief from
the constant disgrace growing out OF the PIES
emf SYSTEM But sober second thought sug-
cests one or two considerations that should be
weighed bcfo:e final action.
is il quite wise to suppress utterly the repre-
sentation of the minority If government by
party with responsible majority. ana
yicilant minority is indispensable in Congress
or in the Legislature, is il sure to be absolutely
worthless in orr Board of Aldermen We would
not think State Leg stature safe. if it con-
famed not a single member excepting Tam
many Democrats would Board of Aldermen
wholly made up of one party be any saferf
And again, are we anxious to make the repre-
sentalI0n of New York County in the State
Legislature soidly Democratic Would it be
to the advantage of the city to Danish the few
Republicans from our present delegation to
ALBANY Yet, if the disrictng of this county,
which is left by the State constitution to the
Board of Aldermen, were managed by soId
board of rammany Democrats, who supposes
that district would be left which Republicans,
or ANYBODY else but Tammany Democrats,
would have a chance to carry
PERHAPS it may be held that these consldera-
tons are not sufficient 10 outweigh the obvious
advantages Of an election by general ticket. AT
any rate they may better be thought over before
final action than after it.

THE ERJDGE GRIP.


The grip used Oh the Bridge has been on Its good
behavior OF late. lint the breakdown last week,
which iucommoded hundreds of passengers, directs
attention once more to its instability AMI uucer-
ta1nty After the two serious accidents early III the
winter. in which the grip alone was at fault'
an emphatc demand for change was
made by the public and the press The
Bridge trustees then appointed committee on
mcdaniel appliances mainly to consider the qleS-
ton of GRIPS This committee hired Offices IN TINS
city sty led itself a " commission and presumably
set about its work. But nothing has come of It, II
is pertinent now to ask why notf No report, no
recommendation has been made. Is the rent OF
these ollices-a wholly useless expense, since the
committee should have male its headquarters III
the building which is part of the bridge property
in BROOKLYN still being paid! The present grip
was shown 10 have fatal defects and the necessity
for either n grip or an additional device 10

clear.
That the Paine grip has not failed once In seVerh
months - no proof that it can be depended pl.
Fortunately the failure last Monday occurred in the
station and not when train was halfway up

over 10000 lives every day. If "A fatal accident
occurs from their neglect, the people of New-fo

New-Jersey is to be treated TO an extra ses-

of considering the tax laws touching corpora

to meet in Trenton in the hot season. but 1t Is
now proposed to avoid the heat by adJournlng
to Atlantic City This would be popular

but POSSIBLY it will not strike the taxpayers SO
favorably. The Legislators would not stay

to but when once they were installed at the
seaside nobody could tell when they would

The whole business OF the trade dollar has
been wretchedly managed by the Government
and the last stage of it is the worst.
AS well known banker who writes on
the snbiect in another column plainly
shows. the United States is now IN
the position of regulating its own coin and
thereby defrauding its own citizens. There
are several millions of these trade dollars held
III the country; they are of more value i'll bullion
than the standard silver dollar, and it is disgrace
ful to the Government that the innocent hoid-
ers of this com issued from the National mint
cannot pass it and cannot get the Government

The secularizaton of the public. schools in
France is likely to become complete as soon as
n bill forbidding nuns and priests to teach III
4bem has passed both Chambers of the French
Legislature. Naturally the Roman Catholics in
France are discouraged at the prospect. Their
views are well expressed in the opinions OF a
distinguished preate sent to The TRIBUNE by
cable this morning, who, to put it Briefly, de-
clares the bill means the destruction OF all re-
ligion in his unhappy country. The Protestants
in France (thcre are not many VIII not take
this extreme view. They will be inclined to
think, however, that if no religion is to be
taught neither should irreligion be inculcated.
Yet that is a point that does not disturb the
french legislators bit.

hope now that the management OF the COney

gamblers and bookmakers much more vigor-

forms should be instituted Nothing Is hurt

Ing word against the moral and intel

The University Of North Dakota, located
near the city Of Grand Forks, has facill-
ties for education unsurpassed by any
school in the whole northwest. II the
citizens OF Dakota do not support Da-
kota schools they will have TO export
their children and pay heavily for the

Very Reprehons,blo.

One of our local money brokers tells
the INTER-OcEAN that he has thrice been
deceived by parties who borrow money
on chatteis. The plan Of procedure Is
about as follows: The borrower comes
into town and represents that ho has so
many horses. so many cattle and so many
pieces of machinery. Ffe wants email
amount to bridge him ever. In the three
cases referred to tho parties have OBJ
tained the money and afterward it was
discovered that they hadn't hyde, Or a
hoof, or a piece of machinery. To the
adventurous individuals who engage in
transactions OF this kind, 1t Is proper and
timely to say that there is a statute. COW
ering the offense of obtaining money
under false pretenses, and that the pun
ishment is very severe. Besides this. q
man who pursues such u business is lia-
BILE to lose his reputation as an honorable
man. Don't do It; it looks bad-it is
