DENOUNCING THE SEED SPINDLE.

The New-Jersey Hortculturists yesterday pre-
sented the truth in mild and guarded way when
they characterized the Congressional seed swindle
as a Ierverson of the original intent OF the act
establishing the Department Of Agriculture. The
Commissioner himself ought to make a manly
protest against this annual waste of more than
500 900 under the gatzy pretencc of aiding agrl-
culture for it brings discredt and ridiculc upon
the entire work of his Department.
The farmers nowadays are taking counsei
together and making their influence felt as IL
should be. No thoughtful man Will oppose Their
demands that governments, state anu National.

nature too costly for private enterprise and 700

THE BROADWAY CONSPIRA TORS.

THE TRIBUNE has been charitable and gen.
erous in giving good advice to the cOnspiIators
involved in the Broadway crime, both those
who put up the money for the purchase OF the
Aldermen's votes and those who received it.
1t has assured them repeatedly that the wisest
course for them was to confess their guilt and
throw themselves on the mercy of the court.
In this way they would save both the city and
themselves a groat deal of expense-them-
selves, because the fees of lawyers who consent
to defend DOODLE" rascals are lninous and
the city, because the cost of such trials as those
of Jaehne and McQuade is extremely large.
If they will free their burdened souls and ap-
peal to the Recorder to deal as tenderly with
them az. he can, the community will not object
to seeing year or two taken of their terms in
Sing Sing. But for stiff-necked and rebelliOus
criminals, who persist in hardening their
hearts, there should be no compassion. Nc
Quade, of course, ought to BIZ condemned to
every day of imprisonment which the law per-
mits, for he has been most obdurate and in
soent and has put the people to their trumps
to convict him.
Now that McQuade has gone down In spite OF
his stubborn resistance, what hope can there be
for the others7 McQuade succeeded in enlist
ing the services of some of the most adrolt
keen and resourceful lawyers at the criminal
bar 10 be found in the city or country. They
stuck at nothing in their efforts to get him of.
strainng every device of the law, every strata
gem of practice, every scheme that wits of the
sharpest edge and the longest polish could divine
to save him. SO far were they carried in their
zeal for their guilty client that they seemed
reckless of what the honest people of New
York might think of their extraordinary efforts.
McQuade was defended most resoutely. even
desperately. 1t was a great triumph for Dis
trict- Attorney MARITIME and Assistant District
| Attorney NicOll to overcome SD rugged and OBJ
stinate resistance. They have we'll earned
their Christmas holiday.
But gloomy time indeed will the next three
weeks prove for the rascals who pushed
through the Broadway franchise by bribery.
While innocent and ght-hearted people are
feasting and enjoying to the full the delights
of the merrlest and most buuntiful part of the
year, they will be gnaw,ng their hearts in
bitterness OF anxiety and fear, and looking
forward to Sing Sing fasts and hardships next
year. Recorder Smytb, the District Attorney
and his assistants, the members of the jury lin
Guiding first and foremost the much maliened
Rosenberg, will eat their Christmas dinners
and receive their Christmas gifts with the
serene cons ciousness of duty well performed.
But for BRIDE giVers and brbe-takers there is
darkness and crashing of teeth. Only imme-
date confession and the stool of repentance
| can even mitigate their punishment.

THE TRUTH IN THE CUTLERY MATTER

THE TRUTH IN THE CUTLERY MATTER
Even In this Christmas season of peace and
good will, The Evening Post can't stop erowl-
ing. But if 1t wants its snarls received with
anything but amused contempt it should keep
within hailing distance OF the truth. Its insin-
nations concerning The TRIBUNE's publication
of extracts from Special Agent Osborn's report
on cutlery importations are worthy only OF
brain stimulated and inflamed by NORWOOD.
In it's vicious hostility to every American iu-
dustry and its INSCRIPTIONS championship of
importers who are trying to ruin the American
cutlery mills, it insinuates that the publication
In THE TRIBUNE was procured and paid for by
American manufacturers of cutlery. That is
grotesque falsehOod, without a shadow or
scintila of foundation. known to be
such by everybody interested and no doubt
believed to be such by the Editor who
nevertheless utters the calumny in the hope
that it may be contemptuOusly passed without
contradiction.
The interviews with cutlery manufacturers
which are printed elsewhere in this issue OF
THE TRIBUNE show the troubles they encounter
from underyaluations in this branch OF trtde.
These statements will undoubtedly be read with
satisfaction in the Office of The Post. Every
indication that American mills. which come
into competition with the underpad labor OF
Germany, are unduly handicapped IN the rival
~ with imported goods, is greeted with Joy by
the unprincipled moralist, whose utterances
on the subject of chastity long ago removed all
doubts as to his character tastes and SYM
