no hope of defence whatever against Tree traoe
except in the Republican party.
1t would be idle to deny that this vote prop
ably foreshadows the passage OF the Tree
trade bill by the House. There may be some
Democratic members who will decline to place
themselves on record for the bill, though they
passed between tellers in its favor or were
absent on Monday. But even Mr.. McAdoo, OF
New-Jersey, and Mr.. Vance, of Connecticut
who have made much prctence of resistance
to free-trade measures, appear to have been
seduced by promises of patronage or other
favors When the measure has passed DEM
ocrato House it Will have to go to Repub-
lcan Senate, and there, it is to be hoped, the
scductions of patronage will not prevail.

THE EXTRA SESSION.

The message which Governor Hill sent to the
Legislature yesterday was not the sort OF state
paper which the great exponent of peanut poll
tics is fond of addressing to that body. For
it contained neither bid for votes for the
Democracy nor cast any reflections upon the
Republican party. 1t was as dignifjcd as 1t
was terse. The Governor contentcd himself
with calling attention to the needs of the
prisons and with intimating that before the
extra session ended he might submit other sub
iects for legislative consideration. what THESE
other subjects may be is largely matter OF
conjecture.
There is every indication that the session
will be short and harmonious. A generai
disposition is manifested on the part OF the
members of the majority to vote all the money
that is absolutely necessary to keep the pris-
oners at work during the year. but on no ac-
count to make an extravagant appropriation
The communication received from the Prison
Superintendent. while it establishes the neces-
sity of prompt action, does not make clear that
the sum which he asks for is not much larger
than the exigency requires. Some OF the mem
beYs seem disposed to push the ates bill ms
measure, as originally introduced last WINTER
failed to commend itself to those who had MADE
o careful study Of the prison problem. IL mas
however. been revised and amended in the
meantime In what shape it will be presented
remains to be seen.
1t is greatly to be regretted that the Demo
cratic Senators and Assemblymen, instead OF
cooperating with their Republican associates
are holding themselves aloOf. The correspond
ent of one of the Democratic organs OF this
city, "The Evening Post" telegraphs that
"the Democrats are taking no part whatever
in il uhe preliminary discussiOn), their ground
being that they are in the minority and there
fore incapable of organizing arS measures that
would be approved by the majority" Tins
attitude of the members of the minority is a
discreditable one. 1t proves that they think
moro of politics than they do of the prisons
When these Democrats come to mount the
stump during campaign they are accustomed
to assure their hearers-especially all work
ingmen''-that the Democracy is eager to dls-
cover a solution of the prison question which
shall be entirely satisfactory to free LABOR
Yet when they are summoned to Albany tor
the express purpose of legislating for prisons
| they fold their arms, decline to come forward
with single suggestion, and simply play the
part of incompetent lookers-on. Such MINOR
ity merits popular contempt.

for the comfort and convenience OF passengers
IL il time il was abolished altogether. Iherc
is no line in this city, on which such cars are
used. where the traffic would not support the
ordinary cars with conductors, and pay good
profit. But the companies take it for granted
that these cars will be used, because the public
cannot help ITSELF just as the elevated roads
take off many Of their trains at the hour when
people are going to the theatres, knowing that
they must get there, and so will submit to
being packed in together like cattle. In tho
same way the Brooklyn Bridge Trustees based
their estimate of the traffic they could handle
on tho calculation that each passenger would
occupy about as much space as is usually al
lotted. in livestock trains to single hog
The bob-tail car companies undoubtedly be-
lieve they are getting as good receipts as they
would with larger cars, and at much less eX-
pcnse. In order to swell their profits pas
sengers must be subjected to serious annoy
ance, and pedestrians in the streets must be IN
constant danger. To this new danger is
now added-that Of robbery and violence.
One of the first things the Legislature OF
1889 should do should be to pass law requlr-
ing every horse-car, at least in this city, to
have conductor.

EREE TRADE In WOOL

Free wool remains and is to remain the char
acteristic feature Of the Mills Tariff bill. ms
is an important gain for the cause Of protection
With that distinctive feature omitted, the DEM
ocratic pretence that the measure is not step
toward free trade might have deceived great
many foolish voters. But free wool means an
actual beginning of absolute free trade. 1t
means the practical application OF extreme
free-trade theories which President Cleveland
avowed in his message, to two of the most I'M
portant industries Of this country. 1t explains
oil other features of the bill, and fixes its char
acter as free-trade measure beyond dispute.
Let it be remembered that even the Democratic
revenue tariffs of 1916 and 1857 did not admit
wool free of duty. The shrewder Democrats
Of those DAYS did not dare to attempt change
50 revolutionary. On all wool above 20 cents
DER pound in cost there was imposed from 1910
TO 1857 a duty of 80 per cent, and from 1891
TO SCI duty of "a per cent, and while these
tariffs proved disastrous to wool-growing' so
that the increase in number Of sheep from 1901
TO 1860 was but 700, 000-about per cent IN
ten wears. while the increase in population was
over 3 per cent in one year-the party then IL
mower could still pretend that it was not in
favor Of free trade
The vital part of the bill, its backbone, so to
sneak was supported by the votes of every
Democrat in the House except three. Mr..
Randall and one other were absent who wouid
probably have voted against this provision
and they will have opportunity to show their
position on the question by voting against the
hin as whole. For the Free Traders did not
dare TO accede to the request of Republicans
that q vote by yeas and nays should be taken
IN the wool duty separately. Moreover, of the
three Democrats who opposed free trade IN
wool, two have already been refused renom-
nation by their party, and the other expects TO
be set aside by the same influences. The Dem
ocratic party is unanimous in voting for Tree
trade in wool, and those citizens who do not
believe in that change have public notice that
they must 60 elsewhere for help.
The Republican party was absolutely unani-
mons in opposing free trade in wool. In sup
mort Of this position, and mailing to the counter
the r-ec-trade falsehood that the wool man
ufacturers want free WOOL there was read
document from Mr.. Whitman. president OF tne
Wool Manufacturers Association, stating that
the manufacturers of woollen goods in New
England and the Middle States, with excep-
lions which he believed he could count on the
fingers of one hand" were opposed to the re-
peal Of the duties on foreign wool ms ought
TO terminate honest dispute about the wishes
of those concerned in the two great industries
Immediately affected. The woOl-growers nave
spoken emphatically through their National
and State associations, and the Official DECLARE
ton from the Woollen Manufacturers Asso-
citation shows that they also realize the peril OF
depending for supplies upon markets controlled

MR. HALLS WATCH WILL BE RETURNED

Robert Knox, IT., who arrested on a warrant
out by Mis-. Fanny T. Hall, mother of William
I. Hall, formerly treasurer of the Casino was ar
ranged In the Tombs Court yesterday. Mrs. Hall
charged Knox with stealing gold watch and chain
from her son while he not in his right mind. In
his defence Knox said that Hall had given him thS
watch as security for money due him. Knox had
been acting as a nurse for Hall. He had spent con-
siderable money out OF his own pocket for Hall and
his mother Mrs. Hall testified that her son had the
watch and chain In his possession on June 30, and
that Knox had taken IL from him the 4th of Juys
one day before he died Several witnesses relatives
and friends corroboratcd this. Justice kilbrcth,
asked Knox II he not aware that Hall was not
in his right mind the time the watch left his pos
session. to which he received tho reply that he was
not. The Justice decided to hold Knox in $1,000
bail which was furnished by his father. IL was
agreed in court that Knox should return the watch
to-day. No further proceedings will then be taken
against him.

vile the other day that Judge Frank 1. Reid, who
had supported the Republican ticket in 1884, had
come out for Cleveland. The Democratic papers
hailed this as n straw, but we notice That the
Democrats of Nashville don't like the straws color
The fact is that Judge Reid has become Henry
George man pure and simple. The Nashville
American says: after a careful examination
of Judge Reids views when they were written

cation because the injury thereby to Mr. Cleveland
would be bounded only by the influence OF the
author. No such calamity could befail Mr. Cleve-
