1t can be stated with almost positive
certainty that the Hon. r. L. Taylor,
Governor-elect, has determined to ap-
point his elder brother, James p. Tsy-
lor, his Adjutant General and priva'e
secretary. James P. is Democrat,
but has never taken any very active
part in politics. He is something Of a
mechanical genius, and was the in
ventor of what was known as the Tay-
lor gun, which was patented several
years ago, and at the time attracted
considerable attention. For the past
few years he has been engaged In ag-
ricultural pursuits. He is clever
gentleman, popular where he is
known, and very well qualified to dis
charge the duties Of the Office.

There was large public meeting oI
representative citizens and taxpayers
at the city hall last night, called foY
the discussion of the water works
question and other matters of public
interest. Col. W. L. Nugent was called
TO the chair, and James M. McLall sp-
pointed secretary. Mr.. Hungerford,
representing the firm of Samuel r.
Bullock & Co., Of New York, by invi-
tation addressed the meeting. He
made no formal proposition to the
meeting, but advised them as to the
capacity and cost Of the contemplated
plant for the consideration OF the
people. A committee of three from
each ward was appointed to canvass
the city, with petitions to the Board OF
Mayor and Aldermen asking
them to make contract
with some company to procure the
works. This will be done to ascertain
what per cent OF the citizsns and tax
payers desire TO have water works.
A resolution, offered by Mr.. Clifton,
was adopted, submitting for the con.
sideration OF the Board Of Mayor and
Aldermen the subject Of a thorough
system Of drainage. The meeting
also adopted a resolution offered by
Capt. G. D. Bustamante, inviting the

THE CHILE OBSTACLE.

The silver question rises out of the fog Mt
Washington as a huge iceberg III the way OF the
Administration. Ten years ago the issue, III
hation or resumption, confronted ana threat
ened Republican Administration, and a sensl-
BILE decision made the party stronger than ever
and gave the country years of uneXampled pros
perity. IT the new Administration can pluck
the flower safety from the nettle danger, 1t VIII
not only help the country, but strengthen Its
marty by displaying a faculty for practical gov
eminent But The World, in dispatches from
IFS Editor who is now n member of the House,
announces positively that nothing can be done /;
that two thirds of the Democrats and one-thlrd
of the Republicans will vote against any sus-
pension of coinage. A bill to enlarge the coin
age, making it absolutely free and Unlimited,
The World thinks might pass the House, but
would be vetoed by the President. Hence the
warning that there is no prospect of any change
in the law.
This is not only important if true, but the
probability that it would prove true has been
shown by THE TRIBUNE ever since President
Cleveland threw his February letter OF last
year as bOmbShell into the ranks of his own
party. Since that time the preponderance OF
Democratic opinion against his financial policy
has only. increased. Mr.. Warner has offered a
COMPROMISE which has been treated by both
sides with scant respect. Other suggestions
have fallen unnoticed by the wayside. The
depression of silver bullion has been intensi-
fed and its effects on the trade OF the world
have become more severe and evident Senator
Beck has spoken, denOuncinG the Admnstra-

those who still favor silver coinage. On the

An equality with silver, they look for a great

their aims are the same in 1856.
IL will require some skill in navigation to pre-
vent collision between the Administration and
this iceberg in the way. Credit for integrity
of purpose and for courage will be due, if the
emergency is honestly and bravey met, though
the Administration fails to save the country
| from disaster. But what the country needs in
government is not only purpose, bat power; not
only courage, but capacity. 1t has been grave
question for thirty years whether the Demo-
cratic party had not lost the capacity to govern.
If lie World is right in its forecast, that doubt
is hardly about to be removed.

THE BR3ULAUGH CASE.


The Bradlaugh case has been closed in a
sngularly inconcusive way. The member for
Northampton, presenting himself as the repre-
sentative of a constituency which repeatedly
elected him to the last Parliament, has been
allowed to take the oath. The new Parliament
had no legal knowledge of the declarations and
circumstances under which majority of the old
House had deprived him of his seat He
appeared as the legally elected member for
Northampton, and could not BIZ denied the right
of taking the oath in accordance with Parla-
mej,tary statute If the Speaker had inter
vened between Mr.. Brad'augh and his con-
science, and rigdly enforced religious test
where pledge of good citizenship and loyalty
alone is required, it would have been neces sary
tn raise the same question in the case Of other
members whose atheism is as pronounced as
his own. The Commons did not have power
to revive this barren controversy. The oath
was taken; the borough so long denied its
rights was accorded representation but the
main questions in dispute have not been settled.
1t must be conceded that the difficulties in
the way of Mr.. Bradlaugh's taking his seat in
the last Parliament we're originally created by
him self. If he had presented himself in 1880
as he did yesterday, he would have been sworn
in then as now, although his religious views
were well known. He asked to be relieved from
the necessity of taxing the oath because he
thought that another way was open to him.
While the question as to the legality of afIirma-
ton was before the special committee, he wrote
letter IN which he declared that the oath
would be meaningless formaity This letter,
in connection with his references in Parliament
to the oath, gave partisanship and bigotry
opportunity for the unseemly displays that fol-
lowed. When affirmation proved impractcable
under the legal penalties imposed and the lit-
cations in which he was involved, the majority
refused to allow him to take the oath, even
when he averred that he could do so conscieD-
tiOusly. He was thus deprived of his seat be-
cause he had been at the outset more scrupu-
lous and honorable than others who were
willing to go through a form that was equally
meaningless to them. Scrupes which were
apparently proofs of conscience were inter-
preted as indicating lack of moral response
biity and personal honor. He was expelled
from the House, ordered into custody, and re-
peatedly denied his constitutional right to rep
resent Northampton, technically because he had
spoken lightly of the oath, but iu reality be-
cause atheism was unpopular in England, and
this was q convenient method of barass ing the
Gladstone Ministry and making political use
of religious prejudice.
Throughout this controversy craftsmanship and
