HELPING sPFCULdTORS

Yesterday THE TRIBUNE attributed the I'M
expected bond call to determination Of the
Treasury to help its party in the coming cleo
tions. On the same morning The " 0rld attrib-
uted the unexpected bond call to a desire to
help spcculators in Wall Street. Though a
Democratic paper 1t showed that the call was
in the interest Of the Spectators whether
desired to be so or not" and added: "The close
relationship between the Treasury and Wall
Street, in which Treasurer Jordan is the con-
Meeting link, leads to the belief that the relief
Of the spectators was not accidental.' Later
in the same article appears this significant SEN
tence:
The difference between heavy call TINS sprung suddenly
upon the market calls regulated by
the Morrison resolution is a the former benefits prna
those and fortunate speculators who posted
the Treasury policy while the latter being known ALL
affects everybody alike.
1t is not to be supposed that Secretary Fair
child is so dull as not to perceive the pro,,ablc
effect of his unexpected call for bonds upon
the money and stock markets. On.the con-
trary he undoubtedly calculated upon that
effect as one of the modes in which the call
would help the Democratic party. More
money and more profits for certain speculitors
would naturally mean larger contributions 10
Democratic campaign funds. Better prices for
securities would mean better feeling at least
for time. in commercial circles gencr ally
But tho remarks of The World are probably
unjust to Treasurer Jordan. From the hist it
has been understood that he was opposed TO
the calls for bonds made at this time. Ii was
even said that his opposition was so decided
that he contemplated resignation. AT all
events. he is hardly the connecting link BE-
tween the Treasury Department and speculat-
ors". AIr. Jordan went into the Treasury as the
representative Of Mr.. Tilden. While Mr.. TIL
den lived, the Influence of his counsels was
great, and it helped 10 defend the country
against the danger of silver coinage and abuses
of Treasury powers. But Mr.. Tilden has de-
parted Living men have influence in place of
the dead. The policy of the Department has
plainly changed since Mr.. Tilden's death. and
not for the better, but it seems fair to presume
that the change is not to bo attributed TO him
who was Mr.. Tiiden's especial representative
in the Treasury.
There are persons to whom the use of Treas
ury power TO help party and'a set of speculat-
Ors will seem not creditable. These persons
still imagine that "public office is a public
trust" They refuse to see that all the expert
ence of the country thus far justines the fear
that this Administration is going to disregard
ala its promises. Its promises of Civil Sery ice

MAYOR GRACE AND FERDINAND WARD
The thick -and-thin apologists for Mayor
Grace, who insist that he has never done any
thing that should cause the public to lose conf
dence in him and that his word can always be
trusted, will find some puzzling and uncom-
Portable facts and figures In another column OF
THE TRIBUNE this morning. MIR. Grace has al
ways asserted with emphasis that his transac-
tions with Ferdinand Ward were entirely hon.
orable and that he neither violated the law
nor the obligations of integrity and fair dealing
He has always claimed that he was not mixed
IN in tho dealings of E. II. Tohey with Eel
dinand Ward, and that Tobey was acting en-
tirely for himself. How then can he explain
the Endorsement on the back Of Wards $4,000
check to Tobey dated May. 1, 1884 Z AS shown
elsew here in this issue Tobey indorsed that
check over to William r. Grace g. Co., while
Ward had joited down on the stub OF his check
book this significant entry; Z" E. II. I. for w.
r. g., $4,000"
Tobey left the country for South America at
a time exceedingly convenient for Mr.. Grace.
When the United States Grand Jury was ex-
aminlng the affairs of Grant 81 Ward in connec-
ton with the Marine Bank frauds. Mr.. Grace
was fortunate In having Jealous political
sympathizer and an intimate personal friend in
the District Attorneys office. When the Oyer
and Termner Grand Jury was investigating
the administration of the Department OF Public
Works by Hubert o. Thompson in 1884, Mr.
Thompson was fortunate in having political
sympathizer and personal friend in the District
Attorneys Office. Everybody is convinced now
that Thompson was thoroughly corrupt and
unscrupuous official. There is little question
that he would have been indicted in 1884 but
for the obstacles nterposed by Peter b. Olney's
amiable and sympathetic disposition. Can any
one be found now to deny that Thompson rich
" deserved indictment, conviction and imprs-
onmentq Even the bindest of Mayor Grace's
supporters may have their eyes opened in time.
Mr. Grace has declared that he will not be
candidate for another term. If he sticks to his
determination 1t will be good thing for the
city. Politics will be cleaner for his absence
from the campaign. 1t may be good thing for
him personally to keep out of the canvass. All
the secrets of Ferdinand Wards dealings have
not ct been laid bare, and the stubs of Wards
check book might supply some campaign ma
terial Of absorbing interest

Reform have ended In Pan-Electric scandals
in Bayards disreputable consuls, Lamars cor
rupt Indian agents, and the contemplate charge
of offensive partisanship, by which places have
been made for thousands Of Democratic par
tisans. Its promises Of fidelity to American
industry have ended In deliberate proposal
by the President and Secretary of the Treasury
to collect the entire revenue Hby duties on
few score articles" Its promises OF economy
have ended in the Presidents signature OF the
River and Harbor bill, and in larger appropria-
tions than were ever made in any year, except
by the one Republican Congress which tne
people indignantly censured. Why should IL
be expected that promises of honest money and
public faith should end otherwise than in silver
payments or paper inflatlonf The downward
path is easy. First, few bond calls ana an
issue of small notes to help the party ana DEM
ocratc spectators then more paper and more
depletion of the reserve to prevent the reaction
which inevitably follows an artificial stimulus
and then virtuous conclusion that it will not
do to have silver only for the people and goid
for the bondholders. This Democratic Admin
istration is not two years old yet. and has time
enough to show to what party it belongs.

CALLING A SPADE "SUMPTUARY LEGIS
LATIONn

Tn ,csnonse to THE TRIBUNE's assertion that
the Democratic party tuckles to the rum power
lust as it used to truckle to the slave power,
The Ne,c- York Star remarks that " the Demo
cratic party Is opposed to all sumDtuary lcglsla-
ton and openly against prohibition"
When it comes to the temperance question
the Democracy never daIes to call spade a
spade. It's refusal to do so is its unique tribute
TO the cause of good morals. Accuse 1t OF truck
lirg to the rum power and it invariably replies :
"Oh. no, We don't truckle to the rum power,
not we We nercly are opposed to sumptuaty
lcgislation" And az the rum power listens to
this sort of talk it chuclllcs and winIs and
puts its tongue in its cheek. The rum power
understands perfectly well what ave are op-
posed to sulmptuaIy legislation means as used
in Democratic platforms and Democratic news
paper articles and Democratic stump speeches.
1t means " the Democracy is opposed to inter
fering with the rum,hop." Hence when The
Star hurls back the charge that its party
trucklcs to the rum power and explains that
the Democracy is opposed to sumptuay legisla-
ton, sensible people will convict our contcm-
polary of denying that the Democracy truckles
to twcedledum while frankly admitting that it
trucklcs to twe,dledcc.
The assertion that the Democracy is now
trucking to the rum power just as it used to be
tracking to the slave power cannot be Success
fully attacked. All that party's talk about
opposition to sumptuary legislation is bid for
tbc rum vote writ large"

THE BROADVAY TIE-UP.

Public sympathy will be on the side of the
employees of the Broadway and Seventh Avenue
Railroad who went on strike yesterday. Their
grievances seem to be genuine. and so long as
they refrain from violence and press their
demands in an orderly way, they may be sure
OF popular support III the extreme position
which they have felt compelled to take While
1t is possible for the six trips provided by the
now time table to be run In twelve hours if
the tracks are perfectly clear and there are no
delays, IN practical working, especially in such
a crowded thoroughfare us Broadway, more than
twelve hours will be needed. In fact, the men
say that a similar timetable was tried some
time ago with the result that it took from,
thirteen to thirteen and a half hours to make
the six trips. But at the time of the general
te-up the companies agreed not to work their
men more than twelve hours day. The new
timetable is violation Of this agreement. and
hence the strike is warranted. No one
believes. of course, such statement as that of
Superintendent Newell, who says that unless
the men make the extra trips the company can
not mako both ends meet. Every one who
secs the crowded cars bowling up and down
Broadway at short intervals all day long knows
that this must he one Of the best-paying lines

Chamberlain is not infalliblc. Men who make

people and the sentiment Of an increasing num-
