cLEvELAND yields TO THE PRESSURE"

CLEVELHND "YIELDS TO THE PRESS URE."
The hindsight of Harpers Weekly" Just
now is engaged in indicting its foresight
Of Grover Cleveland. Mr.. Cleveland, as
apprehended by "The Weekly' in
1884 and as earnestly commended by that
journal Of civilization to its readers,
was a truly good man in the vanguard
of distinctively bad party. When asked il the
distinctly bad party would not prove too many
for the truly good man 1.-THE Weekly" at once
gave In its subscription TO the -arithmet-
ical proposition that the part is greater than
the whole by asserting that the truly good man
was stronger than the distinctly bad party, and
therefore would control ID. Thus the foresight.
But not thus the hindsight. Here is Mr..
Cleveland as he is now painted upon The
Weekly's' retina:
President cleveiand's convictions upon the subject
Of reform arc probably unchanged. lie probably be-
ucves that the spells system is serious danger to our
institutions But he pcrcevos that he is not sustained
by hts party IN that View and he sees plainly thai
practical adherence to II would probably divide his
party so TO impenl IT'S success IN the election. In
Other words he yields to tho pressure Of his party
General Grant yielded to Republic an pressure
Il will be seen that 1.-The Weekly" has aban-
doned the stronger thanh s-party conception
of Mr.. Cleveland. In It's place it substitutes
something very different. Il has dis
covered that he is not stronger than the
party The party is on top to-day. It is
Cleveland who has yielded TO the "presstire'
brought to bear upon him by the Democracy
and not the Democracy that has yielded to the

THE RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE IN NEW- YORK
STATE

/ Last winter two important measures, de-
signed to throw additional safeguards around
the ballot-bOx were before the Legislature.
Both were absolutely bipartisan, and yet
both met with Democratic opposition. The
Republican majority passed both, and one oil
them Governor Hill signed after he had done
his best to emascuate it. This was the primary
election bill. The other bill, providing for
general registration, he vetoed upon grounds
which were weak and frivolous. In word,
the Democratic Governor and Democratic
minority indicated pretty plainly in 1887 that
they could not be depended upon to promote
ballot-box REFORM
So it is this year. The Democratic minority
of 1888 is occupying the same dlsgrace1ul
attitude in regard to this matter, which Is OIL
vital concern to all reputable voters. Mr..
Sheehan. the leader of his party in the Assem-
bly. Mr.. Weed, who learned his Democracy at
she knee of that thorough going Democrat,
Smith NJ. Weed and other influential members
of the minority, have been placing obstacles
in the way of the passage Of the Election he
form bill. whose salutary provisions are Ia
miliar 60 our readers. This act provides for
the printing and distribution of ballots at the
public expense. for booths in which the voters
can prepare their ballots, for the preservation
of order about the polling places. And IN
virtue of these and other provisions 1t is well
calculated to cure that great evil-the purchase
Of votes. Nevertheless, Democrats treat such
\ measure as if it were-a High-License bill.
Last Thursday when Il was ordered to third
reading in the Assembly, it encountered the
solid opposition of the minority. Mr. Sheesan
spoke against it Mr.. Weed spoke against 1t
Judge Greene spoke against it; not Democrat
Of them all lifted up his voice in its support.
What is the secret of this well-nigh uni
form Democratic hostility to efforts looking
IN the conservation of that right of suffrage
which lies at the foundation of government Oh
the people by the people2 Let men OF intelii-
gence and public spirit ask themselves that
question. Let the young man who is assured
Inv hasty generalizers that one party is as good
AZ another inquire why it is that the Republican
party can be depended upon to champion great
general reforms and the Democracy to assam
them The rank and file of the Democratic
marty are in favor Of an honest count OF honest
votes; they desire TO see the ballot-box fur-
nished with all necessary bulwarks. But the
influences that shape the course OF the party
flow from INSCRIPTIONS demagogues VINO are
ever ready TO carry an election by foul means
when fair ones will not answer.

The Anti-Poverty Society is q year old. We
are unable to say that there IS any less poverty
than there was when it began. Abolisning pow
erty to order is about successful rs the searcn
for perpetual motion or the philosophers stone.
There Is little doubt that a reorganization Oh
the Brooklyn Board OF Education would be good
thing Tn. TRIBUNE said so as long ago as
1889. The Board consists Of forty-fve members
and IS too large to be readily handled, while the
responsibility is too diffused TO permit the mem
bers to feel keenly their duty to the public. But
Asscmblyman Tallmadge's reorganization scheme
seems scarcely the best that could be devised
Doubtless it contains some excellent features; Mr.
Tallmadge's long connection with the Board Is
sufficient guarantee Of that In attempting to
make the Board non-partsan, however he ap-
pears TO have stood up so straight as to lean
backward. A Board equally divided between the
two dominant parties ought TO DO free from any
faint Of partisanship, but this has not always
proved to be the case. The schools should be
independent of any political inhuenocs' that Is
clear Mr. Tallmadge avowedly and openly IN
PRODUCES the political element in trying to keep
It out which is unfortunate. The bill has been
advanced to good place and stands good chance
Of becoming law 1t would certainly produce

present regime, although it is not an ideal meas
ure.
Instead Of sending small army to st. Louis,
Tammany is saving up its money for use In the

Theatre is to be razed to the foundation, and
an entirely new structure put up in accordance
with the strict law concerning the building OF
theatres. There will be an open space on every
side of the reconstructed theatre. the vestibulo
will extend across the whole width Of the build
ing. and there are to be twenty exits, with an
aggregate width Of LAT feet All this will be
good news for nervous theatre goers. A theatre
constructed on such principles, and provided
with electric lights and means for flooding the
stage at a seconds notice in case OF fire, will be
as saIe as Il pmIung can be made, and no one
need hesitate to patronize ii through fear oil
being caught in fiery furnace.
A tale that must be taken for what it is
worth has been printed in England and is re-
ferred to ut some length in our special cable
dispatch II is to the effect that the Parnelites,
despairing Of an overthrow Of the present Gov
eminent by the Liberals. and seeing no growth
in the prospects Of Home Rule in Mr.. Glad
stones sense. contemplate an alliance with the
Tories in the hope Of getting something in the
way Of sclf-govcrnmont. Intrinsically, the
probability of such movement is small The
enactment Of the Crimes Act and the way 1t
has been enforced afford little ground for hope
that Ireland would gain anything by Nation
alist coalition with the Conservative party. II
may be said that the Parnellites are free TO
make this. as there is no agreement between
them and the Liberals; but such step would
not only show marked ingratitude to the men
who have stood by Ireland in her time Of need,
but would probably be without avail. The
Home R,,le cause has not vet reached the stage
Of hopeless despair.
