THAT CLEvELAND-HILL TIE.

"Blest be tho tic that binds" says the old
HYMN. But the tie in the Democratic Commit
tee is not of that Sort 1t does not bind. 1t
disrupts. 1t raises blistcrs on Mr.. Clcveland's
ambition as big as soup-plates. 1t indicates
that that ee-trade message was fatally loaded
IL produces compound fracture Of the spine of
tho cross-cycd goddess of Democratic Harmony.
II calls hard, malicious, triumphant smile to
the countcnancc Of David b. Hill. The Presi-
dent is about to enter the last quarter OF his
term. The convention to which he confidently
looks for denomination is on the eve OF as
semblng. lie goes into the meeting Of the
democratic Committee of his own State and
cndeavors to fill vacancy with man Of his
own choice. But he fails to accomplish his
object, fails not once but thirty consecutive
times. At midnight as chilly as Napoleon was
when he fell back from Moscow, he turns his
back on Albany and the New-York Democratic
Committee, leaving the tie united.
IL was not always thus-not last August. Tor
cxample. Then Cleveland and Hill met for
the first time on the field CT the Democratic
Committee The result was proclaimed far
and wide as a great Cleveland victory Well,
il did look like it, On a test vote the Cleve-
were printed which went to show that only SIX
Of the thirty-four members of the committee
were solidly and permanently for Hill. And
now? Cleveland seventeen, Hill seventeen
Clcveands majority in the committee wiped
out the Governor shown to be as big man
rs the President! 1t will be interesting to OBJ
serve the reasons which the Democratic and
Nlugwump press will advance to account Tor
the setback which Mr. Cleveland has received
in his own State "The Times" protests that
tho Cleveland members Of the committee were
"taken at a Disadvantage" as if every one was
not aware that such Democrats as Senator
Nike Murphy ex-MayOr Grace, ID. Cady Her
rick. NIannings successor, and John WHEY
never allow themselves to be "takcn" that
wav "The Evening POST is equally silly and
I'm fair. II utterly ignores the marked decline
of Clcyclands strength in the committee shown
by comparison Of Thursdays vote with the
vote OF last August; it also advances Inc
theory that the Presidents innocent and IN
experienced representatives, were taken at
disadvantage; and it asserts that the result
hurts nobody but Hill. 1t is evident that both
these Mugwump organs realize that 1t docs
make a difference whose OK it is that rs gored
They hailed the August vote as demOnslra-
ton of Cleveland's preponderance in his party
in Ncw-YorI. They hail the January vote
well. Cleveland was "takcn at disadvantage"
The score now stands cone and" BY the
time the rubber is played the President may
lave recovered his lost ground. Let Colonel
lamont stop coming over to the metropolis to
90 little shopping and devote himself with
renewed assiduity and a field-glass to keeping
his eye on Hill The Colonel Will agree with us
that A Presidential candidate for denomination
ought to be able to carry his party committee
in his own State.

pUBLIC OFFICE 4 PRIVATE TRUST.

PUBLIC OFFICE 4 PRIVATE 1hOSl'
Great value is attached to English prccedchts
nv the Administration at Washington. Attor-
nev-General Garland and his patron, the Presi-
dent, will be surprised to learn that one OIL inc
salaricd law officers of the Crown has created
great scandal by combining private pracHco
with official functions. Mr.. Marriott Is not
like Attorney General Garland the head OF
Department of Justice, but he is Judge Advo-
ate-General and receives salary OF $4,000
q wear from the British Treasury. lie has
recently been employed in Egypt as SPECIAL
counsel for the former Khedivc, lsmail Pacha,
and has succeeded in obtaining judgments for
his client amounting to 100000 for pal
aces. civil allowances at fourteen years pur-
chase, and a cash indemnity for crops Inc
;ustico of this award to the rapacious sovereign,
who formerly plundcred the Egyptians at WILL
is questioned in England. Stern moralists as
scrt that he has been compensated Tor Inc
proceeds of his own robberies and dcspotd
crimes. With the validity and morality OF the
decisions in his> favor we have no concern
What seems specially significant to us IN these
transactions is the appearance OF saiarieu
law-oflicer Of the Crown as the attorney ior
This inquitous claimant in the Cairo courts
Those courts, like all the institutions OIL Egypt
are under the control Of British oiliclals. Mt.
Marriott could not divest himself Of his Official
functions when he argued lsmall's case lie
has made use of his authority as law-oii'cer
of the Crown in pressing these monstrous
claims: and when he receives his fee for OBJ
tanning the award he Will be rewarded for
,rafficking with his public functions. This
transaction is regarded with dsfavor in Eng
land and Mr.. Marriott will probably be placed
On his defence when Parliament meets.
Acknowledgement Garland will doubtless be
named to learn that any purist OF the English
lar should object to the Judge Advocate-Gcn-
erals course as immoral and scandalous Mr..
Marriott in his private practice has merely
done what the head of the Department OF JUS
lice considered il honorable TO do in his Pam
Electric spcculations. He has avalled himself
OF the adyentitious aid Of his official functions
in promoting his private interests. lie has
prostituted his public office to mercenary ends
As Judge Acknowledgement of England he has
had superior opportunities at Cairo for pleading
his clients cause, and undoubtedly grateful
Ismail will give to him more than lawyer
share Of the plumber. In like manner MIR.
Garland in the Department Of Justice had
peculiar facilities for allowing legal proceed

AN EASTERN blizzard.

The most obvious features Of Wednesdays and
Thursdays storm this side OF Indiana wero Inc
binding and blocknding effects OF tho snow.
These, like tho almost agonizing bitterness OF tho
cold. were largely due to gales OF exceptional
severity; for the precipitation was but httie IN
excess OF that experienced two or three tunes
before this winter; and the mercury certainly has
been lower more than once. From the North
Pacihc coast to the Lower Lake region this dis
turbance made its way early in the week Without
causng as much inconvenience and suffering as
some of its predecessors this season. But as IL
anproached the New-Jersey and New-England
coasts It developed intensity very rapidly In the
suddenness with which it showed its teeth, as
well as the pitch OF its fury, it more closely re-
sembled genuine Northwestern blizzard than
ANYTHING that has been seen hereabouts since
Thanksgiving Day.
From many points between Ohio and the Eastern
British provinces come statements that the inter
ruption to traffic this week has been greater
than for decade or more. To q certain extent
such assertions VIII usually stand some discount.
The defective memory Of the Oldest lnhabltant
Is proyerbal. Moreover, what is true OF one
locality does not always hold good regarding
another only o few miles away. But the testi-
mony is too strong and concurrent, in the present.
instance. not to deserve much confidence. The
worst effects, apparently, were felt In Northern
New.Engand which was to be expected. That
region lay to the north of the storm track which
crossed the Hudson above New-YorlS City, and
slxirted the coast to Nova Scotia. But even as
far south as the coal regions of Pennsylvania the
drifts attained a height Of ten feet In places.
The famous storm Of January $40, 1886, probably
affords the closest likeness of any in recent years
to the one under discussion. That came from
Texas buried Ohio, the Middle Atlantic States.
New-England and Canada under nearly or quite
two feet Of snow developed winds which proved
highly destructive to shipping, and was followed
by a cold wave which froze the oranges in Florida
orchards as they had not been frozen for years.
Yet the trains coming into New-York were delayed
only three or four hours, instead Of ten or fifteen;
and no such general paralysis of traffic occurred
as is reported from Northern New-Engand now.
The way ia which shipping has been caught in
the ice in various harbors and straits along the
seaboard, too is rather exceptional and is due
to the suddenness with which the temperature
rose in advance Of the late storm and fell in its
rear. The solid coating Of rivers and bays was
broken up, and doated almost as harmless rs scum
for few hours. Navigators were thus begued
into situations which, with the ensuing freeze,
became exceedingly pcrilous. 1t may be two or
three days yet before shall be able fully to
measure the full Importance of Eastern
blizzard.
