THE ELECTION REFORM BILL.

The Republican majority in the Assembly
yesterday accomplished two notable things. In
the first place, it passed the excellent bill which
provides for many practical improvements in
the conduct of elections In the second place,
in the face of the opposition of Mr.. Sheehan, the
accredited leader of the minority, it won to the
support of the measure several Democrats. True,
the bill did not need any Democratic votes to Sc
cure its passage since the Republicans had the
necessary strength independent Of them. still
it is gratifying to observe that the minority
contains some members who are not afraid to
stand up for genuine reform. All honor to
these ten Democrats. They may have hurt
their standing in the party. but they have won
the commentator of those intelligent citizens
who desire to see the right of suffrage surround
ed with all the safeguards which experience
can suggest to patriotism.
Our readers are familiar with the provisions
of the bill in question, for they have been
printed iu these columns. The bill provides
for the printing and distribution of ballots at
the public expense for Kidding the polls OF
thrifty gentlemen who are in politics simply
for what they can make out OF it, for rendering
bribery difficult if not impossible, for Bringing
to an end the arts of those who are ever ready
to carry an election by fraud when they can
not carry it by an honest count of honest votes.
That such measure should be championed by
Republicans is natural, for during its entire his
tory the Republican party has labored steadily
for whatever was calculated in any way to con-
serve the purity of the ballot-box, the integrity
of popular elections And it was logical, too,
for the Democratic minority to array itself
against the measure. Why not The jour
nails of the two houses at Albany show that the
normal attitude of Democratic legislators to-
ward any bill which may be introduced pro-
viding for election reform is one of unfrlend-
illness. DemocratS-not to go further back
opposed the primary election bill and the gen
eral registration dill of last winter. The for
mer of these Governor Hill signed, but only af-
ter he had tried to have the heart cut out OF 1t.
The other he vetoed on painfully weak grounds.
1t may well have been that he and his party
friends in the Legislature felt that for them to
have stood up for honest elections in Newly ork
was to indict the methods pursued by Demo
Gratis at the ballot-bo1 in the larger field Of the
South.
The bill now goes to the Senate, and although
the time that remains of the session is short it
is earnestly to be hoped that it will prove long
enough to secure its passage. Next to the
Hgh-License bill it is certainly the most i'm
portant piece of reform legislation which has
been introduced this year. Its failure would be
q calamity.

THE VATICAN and IRELAND.

The Vatican's intervention in Ireland on be-
half of the Unionst Government is grounded
upon Monsignor Persco's Investigations in the
island. The Pope's rescript is directed NOM
inally against boycotting and the Plan OF Cam
paign, but virtually it sustains MIR. Balfour and
the Coercion Acts. The Bishops are instructed
to prohibit the clergy from participating in the
active work of the National League, and to ex-
ert their influence strongly against prevailing
methods of agrarian agitation. AS the clergy
are recruited mainly fl ON the tenant class their
sympathies are with the people in their strug-
Clio against oppressive landlords 1t will be
most difficult fer the Bishops to enforce the de-
cree, and the majority of them being convinced
that the Vatican has been ill-advised will be
most reluctant to place the Church in hostility
to the people Of the island. Archbishop Walsh
is reported to be on the verge Of assigning his
functions, and all the Bishops wlIl be greatly
embarrassed by the orders from Rome. The
Plan of Campaign has been advocated by priests
who have been willing to go to jail rather than
submit to the DEGREES Of the Castle. The Vati-
can now condemns those who have been leaders
in the movement and have been looked upon as
heroes and martyrs in their Imprisonment.
1t is probable that this action of the eccle-
sastical authorities at Rome will weaken the
Tory Government in England. 1t is an ALI
ance with the Pope for political ends, and there
is a robust and rather intolerant sentiment
among all classes of society there against COM
bina.ions of that sort. Temporarily it will be
of material assistance to Mr.. Balfour in Dub
lin, for the Home Rule party there is recruited
in its rank and file from the Roman Church. and
the Pope's word must have great weight with
the Irish people, Experience, however, has
shown that the Vatican has never been able to
counteract the political aspirations Of the
island If Sir Robert Peel. in his day, by the
concession of the Maynooth grant. induced the
Pope to array the Bishops against OConnell
and thereby fastened the decline Of the Repeal
agitation, the Liberator's hold upon the masses
had already been relaxed. and his power and
authority were waning. Wealthy English
Catholics exerted their influence at Rome when
Mr. Gladstone was exhausting the resources Of
coercion and contrived to bring the National
ist movement partially under the ban OF Papal
disapproval but even with this adventitious
aid the policy of government by force speedily
proved failure and was abandoned for meas
ures more enlightened. The Unionists now
have recourse to the same diplomatic articles
which were employed when Mr.. Errington was
fitting like an uneasy ghost between St. Peters
and Downine-st. The Vatican's aid may indi-

TILE PERMIT TRUST

The announcement that o peanut trust has been
formed and that all the leading peanuteries' OF
the country are in 1t is we'll calculated to bring
CONSERVATION to the American palate. The aver
age American is passionate lover Of the peanut
he Is accustomed to mention 1t when requested W
enumerate the things that make life worth nVlhg
The bean Of Boston, the clam OF Newport, the uer-
rapn of Baltimore the whiskey OF the oiue-grass
country, the hog and hominy OF the South-ah
these creature comforts are more or less provincial
But the peanut is cosmopolitan. 1t makes us mp
peal to the universal appetite. There Is no Sec
ton Of our common country in which the peanut
is not as familiar In the mouths Of people as house
hold words.
Hence the deep feeling that is aroused IN tno
popular breast at the news Of the formation OK
peanut trust. 1t is feeling which can be counted
upon to express itself in the stern cry rolling rom
the Atlantic to the Pacific, and gathering volume
as it rolls, Hands of the Peanut Let the pea
nut trust look to IT, II the small boy II the young
man from rural parts and his best girl discover wheh
they get to the circus this summer that the trust
has run up the price Of peanuts so high that tney
cannot afford to buy as many rs they crave OK
that the trust has decreased the supply so that
there are not enough peanuts Offering to meet INC
demand, then the enterprising gentlemen VINO or
ganized the trust may well tremble. The scene
that ensues may not recall the worst days OF the
French Revolution, but there Is no telling what an
inccnsed people will do when they discover that
the peanut has been TITLED with.
1t is rumored in Chicago, the great peanut-eac-
ing centre Of the continent, that the trust was
formed solely In the interest OF the consumers
of peanuts that its only aim will be still fnrther
to popularize peanuts by giving each purchaser
Of a large bagful lovely chrome, neatly framed )
that when the trust gets fairly to work, peanuts
with three peas in the pod will supcrscde those
now on the market having but two peas In the
pod. We print the rumor for what 1t is worth
II IL turns out that the trust is q philanthroplo
and not a business scheme, it may not closely
resemble some other trusts, but the American
people will feel easier about the future OF the
peanut.

saloons, and Governor Hill owes them per-
sonaly heavy obligation.
The Anti-Saloon Republicans adopted series
of strong resolutions yesterday which their
party will not fail to heed. 1t is profoundly
true that the Democracy Of the North has the
rum power for the cornerstone Of its organize
tion. II holds no principle so dear as nc pres
ervation of the saloon. From the saloon 1t
draws It's natural support. In the saloon It's
tendencies have their truest expression. In
nothing is it so unanimous as in the defence Oh
the rum traffic, and its power is reduced by Just
so much as the saloons are reduced. The Re
publican party has great battle to make
against free rum, and the fact that it has so
firmly entered upon the inevitable conflict in
this State is a matter of congratulation.
The Republican National League proposes to
honor Senator ingalls, with reception. The
Senator is entitled to the compliment, but not as
an answer to the silly charge that in unfolding
his party's, record and in tearing the hastily
patched-up garment of loyalty from the backs OF
notorious Copperheads, he met with Republican
criticism. Senator ingalls, has healthy way
of SAYING that black is black and of saying it
in terms that cannot be misunderstood. In
his speeches on Tuesday, he punished Senator
Voorhees, as he deserved. Men whose record
during the fateful years of the Rebellion was
hostile TO their country will be somewhat quieter
now. They will be more chary Of their sneers
at the Grand Army. Their dscordant remarks
about the veterans being "beggars" will be
lower in tone and less frequent and they will
find some one else at whom to wing their witty
shafts than the Senator from Kansas.
