But for the threats and the brides OF the Al
ministration. it may be said, there would still
have been substantial Democratic opposition
TO such n policy; Mr.. Randall would not have
been left with only four supporters in the
House. Yet the threats and brides of an Ad-
ministration controlled by the South constitute
the force with which Northern industries have
to reckon. if the election Of another Demo-
cratic President and Congress is permitted.
In a Democratic caucus the Southern Free
Traders have large majority, and they shape
the policy Of the party. Then their orders are
obeyed by a President who owes his place to
their crimes.
Two Northern Republicans proved faithess
to their party Out of 10000 votes In Mr..
Fitchs district there have been carefully
scraped together the signatures of $500 votes,
less than one in ten, who approve his position,
and this he chose to consider a warrant for
disregarding the principles and platform OF his
party Mr.. Nelson, of Minnesota, publicly adj
mitted not long ago that his constituents,
though anxious for n revision OF tariff, dld
not want n free-trade or Democratic revision.
What influence moved him at the last moment
he will have occasion to inform his constituents.
One Southern member elected as Republican,
and two Labor candidates elected by Repub-
lican votes. also illustrated the old truth that
the Republican party gains nothing by elect
ing men who do not believe IN its principles.
But the division shows that the two great
parties are practically unanimous, one in sup
porting the principles of protection ana the
other in contending for the Southern theory
of free trade The voters have now to choose
between them

MORE WATER NEEDED Nv BROOKLYN.


The question to be considered, and, we trust,
satisfactorily disposed Of, by the Brooklyn
Aldermen at their meeting today is simple
one 1t is also familiar one, and no long
study is needed to understand and appreciate
it. That Brooklyn is in need Of an increased
water supply is evident. The quantity daily
consumed is so near to the quantity supplied
that no one can compare the two without a
feeling of alarm at the imminent possibility OF
a water famine. This would mean universal
inconvenience, distress, and, doubtless an APP
palling amount of disease. Plans for the ex-
tension of the aqueduct were drawn during
Mayor Lows term, but no appropriation for
the work was made by the Common Council,
and consequently no contracts could be entered
into. If the work had been begun promptly
the present source of danger would long since
have been removed The need Of decisive
action now is therefore apparent.
But besides the momentous question of ex-
tending the aqueduct to Massapequa Pond,
two other propositions are before the Board.
One Of these is to authorize the sinking of wells
on ground owned by the city in order to obtain
an immediate supply to meet the city's needs !;
the other is to direct the construction of two
new pumping engines at the Ridgewood Water
Works. Both of these things are of unques-
toned Importance. Why there should be any
hesitation on the part Of the Aldermen it is
difficult to understand The whole subject
ought to be considered without any reference
to politics. That it will be there is not the
slightest ground for hope. The Aldermen of
Brooklyn are not that sort of men. The gray
ity Of the situation has been set forth in com
munications to the Common Council by the
present Mayor and his predecessor and by the
Commissioner of City Works. The Aldermen
cannot plead ignorance as an excuse for non
action.
The extension of the aqueduct so as to EJECT
the increasing demands of a rapidly growing
city is plainly a matter not to be put of. 1t
may have been put off too long already. The
additional wells are a present and pressing ne
ceSsity. The reinforcement of the pumping
station is demanded by the fact that the dis
abling of one of the engines now in use would
seriously imperl the city. Let the Aldermen
for once abandon narrow and selfish cOnsidera-
tons, put aside thoughts Of patronage and act
upon this matter from considerations of the
public interest. This is not a partisan ques-
ton, and it involves the immediate personal
welfare of every one Of the 100000 people
living in Brooklyn

GOLD IN MICHIGAN.

The discovery Of vein Of rich gold quartz
at Ishpeming, Mich, may have important con-
sequences for that State. As small pockets Of
rich ore have been found on the same ground
during the last three years, and as all Of them
pinched out before going far, a good deal more
exploration will have to be done before any
conclusion can be reached as to the endurance
of tho vein. If, as reported, it widens as it
goes down. the indication is promising, and the
ore body may prove to be extensive. In an
entirely new field, however nothing can be
taken for granted. All that is certain at pres
ent is that there arc small bodies Of paying ore
in the Lake Superior region. The new find
will Justify a thorough exploration. and when
the present shaft at lshpeming has been sunk
double the present depth it will be time enough
to talk about the opening of a rival to the Com
stock Lode. So far the one peculiarly noted
in the Michigan ore veins has been their non
persistence. This, Of course. may be only a

surface characteristics The ground has only
been scratched, it is true. The shaft from
which the new ore body has been worked Is
said to be only twenty-five feet deep. but
while all the developments are so uncertain
the part of wisdom is cautious treatment OF the
whole affair.
Should the discovery prove to be important
that is, should the new ore body prove to be
true assure vein and not merely large pocket,
no doubt much excitement will be caused. But
il is evident that the character of the Michigan
gold fields is not such as to warrant any pop
ular rush such as the discovery Of the California
placer mines caused. Only capital can develop
quartz mines. and even capital is excluded when
the field has been covered with provisonary
titles in advance Of the discovery. In Cal
iforna, indeed, land titles were ignored by the
miners. who took up their claims anywhere ana
everywhere. But it is not probable that such
a course would or could be followed in hlchl-
gan. and the fact that the latter mines are not
placers, and are therefore not capable OF beng
developed by primitive methods, renders it still
more unlikely that any jumping" will be at
TEMPTED Strong corporations own the land Tor
miles around the now NINE and the presump-
ton is that they will take their time in opening
up the region, probably waiting until the lsh-
peming vein has been tested sufficiently to give
trustworthy indications for the future. How
ever rich the lode-f it is a lode-may prove to
be, the Michigan gold mines do not promise
to be what are called "poor mans workings"
but rather to resemble the Comstock lode Of
Nevada where great deal of money had to be
put into the ground before any was taken out

A comprehensive glance at the effect OF the
Democratic Tariff bill on the industries OF this
State is furnished in the talks with members
of the Legislature reported by our Albany
correspondent to-day. The interviews are with
men of both parties. They show that there is
widespread alarm, and that the Republican
party is steadily gaining converts in Democrats
who see that the policy of their own party

A Washington letter to a Democratic paper
published in Springfield, Mass, states that Civil
Service Reform is making such progress that If
the competitive system is sustained by the strong
public opinion of both parties, the clerks will soon
care no more for change Of Administration than
for a change in the weather" This is positively
laughable. The idea that the Civil Service prin-
ciple is sustained by the strong public opinion Of
the Democratic party! Ask the clerks whom the
clean sweep of the Reform Administration,
with all its promises and professions carried out
of office, whether they care anything more for a
change of Administration than for a change Of
weather. 1t has been demorazing spectacle
indeed, and chiefly so because the country was
justified in expecting something different and bet
ter. But the country has learned that Democratic
professions and promises, even when made by a
man reputed to be stronger than his party, are
neither more nor less than simply and absolutely
worthless.

Park Commissioner Somers, of Brooklyn, is in
what may be feebly described as state OF mlnd
over the fact that he has not been appointed TO
more conspicuous places on the committees OF the
Board Somers is the man who, year or two ago,
distinguished himself by having some fine large
forest trees in Prospect Park cut down, in order
to open vistas" He soon learned that the people
of Brooklyn were not nearly so anxious to have
"vistas" as he was Now he says to a reporter
oh. but there will be lots of sport when the
Board meets, and you may look out for some inter-
esting sessions This is fine, dignifed attitude
for a public official to assume. Instead Of giving
Somers an opportunity to make SPORT at the
meetings Of the Board, the best thing to do with
him would be to retire him to private life.
