The Mud RUN YERDTCT.

The Cor0ners jury which has been investi-
eating the dreadful disaster at Mud Run ON
the Lehigh Valley Railroad found seven men
guilty Of gross neglgence-two conductors,
two engineers, two lookouts and fagman.
This verdict was reached on Monday, and al
ready warrants have been issued, and five of
the seven, and by this time perhaps all, have
been arrested. So far so good. The prompt
ness of the procedure up to this point has been
commendabe, and the next steps ought not TO
be less efficient These men should be in
dicted and brought to trial for manslaughter
without delay. There should be no postpone
ments and no pettifogging. The prosecution
should be pushed with vigor, and If they are
found guilty no weak sympathy for them and
no pity for their families ought to intervene
to tighten the penalty. If guilty at all, they
are guilty of horribly criminal indifference
to human life and human suffering. They
have butchered more Of their felow-beings and
inflicted keener and more abiding misery
upon the survivors than ever lay within the
range of seven ordinary murderers.
The jury did not formally attach any re-
sponsibility TO the railroad company, and it is
not probable that the testimony was presented
in such form that this would have been pos.
sible. But nevertheless it is apparent that
there is some loose screw in the executive
mechanism which operates the road. II every
branch of the administration were in the high
est state of efficiency, or even efficient in
degree lower than the highest, it could not have
happened that seven employees in responsible
positions would have been gathered at one spot
and at one time as if for the express purpose Of
combining to produce an appalling disaster.
OF course, no such express purpose is conceiv-
able, but II seven men could thus casually meet
and share in dreadful responsibility it must
follow that numerous other employees were not

by his political friends in that branch of Con-
eress Mr.. wilkins, Of Ohio, chairman of the
Committee on b hiking and Currency, on April
10, 1888, introduced resolution, which the
House passed, declaring that it was
the sense Of the House that section
2 of the act Of March 3, 1881, was intended to
be permanent provision OF law, and conclud-
ing with the emphatic statement that " the
same is hereby declared to have been since It's
enactment and to be now, in the opinion Of the
House, in full force and effect.n In other
words, the House told the Secretary that during
the six months from October 1887, to April,
1888, while he was coddling his doubt and
depositing the public moneys in the banks and
losing the chance to reduce the debt Of the
United States at gain to the Government of
more than per cent, the act of March g. 1881,
which gave him ample power to purchase bonds,
was in full force and effect. Was there ever

THE KEY TO THE SITUATfON.

Any one who may have had any doubts
whether Mr. Erhardt and his colleagues OH the
Republican local ticket bad been nominated in
good faith should have been present at the
meeting Of the Republican Club on Monday
night, and witnessed the enthusiastic reception
hey had at the hands of that vigorous or
eanization. The spirit of that gathering, as
of all gatherings of Republicans, is that every
member Of that party must stand loyalty by the
whole ticket from President to Assembyman
Such an opportunity as has come this year may
not occur again in generation. A Repub
lican Mayor will be able to give his party
representation in the city government more
nearly adequate than it has had in a long time.
In this way the Democratic sinecures can be
abolished, reforms can be introduced, corrup-
ton diminished and taxes lowered. What Re-
publican will take the risk of throwing this
opportunity away? The Union League Club,
which holds a special meeting tonight, will
doubtless make its powerful influence felt on
this question.
We are glad to see that Senator Quay is
giving so much attention to the prevention Of
Democratic frauds in this city. Here is the
key to the situation. 1t was the Solid South
and the saloons of Newly orl City that put Mr.
Cleveland In the White House. There has not
been an honest election here for twenty years,
if there ever was one. The Democrats rely on
the frauds In the lower wards Of Manhattan
Island 10 turn the scale against the intelligent
Republican voters of the interior. The Repub
Leans of New-York City should strain every
nerve to keep down Democratic frauds here,
and stand Loyalty by every part of the ticket
and then the splendid Republican majority
north of Harlem River which all the signs
agree is coming will bring them victory.

THE SECRETARY and THE BANKS.

"The Evening Post" writhes and squirm
under Mr.. Blaincs pointed criticism of Secre
tary Farchild's speech in Wal-st. 1t assert
that Mr.. Blaine not only ignores Mr.. Fair
chids explanation, but falsfes when he say!
that the Secretary did not squarey answer thC
question, " If it was an advantageous proceed
ing for the banks TO invest $50, 600. 600 in
Government bonds, why was it not still more
advantageous for the Government to do it ?'
This is question which occurs at once to every
practical man when his attention is directed &c
the Secretary's action in depositng so large a
proportion Of the surplus in the National banks
instead Of buying bonds with it. If the public
and the banks can buy United States bonds at
current prices Tor investment, why not the
| Government itself? The Secretary did not an
| swer fairly; he evaded, as Mr. Blaine says he
| did, and if there is any falsehood it is in the
Secretary's explanation and not in Mr.. Blaine 5
criticism But "The Evening Post,n in blind
worship of its idol, for Cleveland is its god
and Fairchild Is his prophet has become i'm
pervious both to facts and argument. 1t has
constituted itself the chief inqusitor of its pc
cuiar political creed, and epdeavors to malign
and torture all heretics.
No wonder the Secretary's lame subterfuge
that he was compelled to make deposits with
the National banks because for six long months
he doubted his authority to buy bonds under
the law of March g. 1881 appeared disineen-
nous to Mr.. Blaine. That law reads: THAT
the Secretary Of the Treasury may at any time
apply the surplus money in the Treasury, not
otherwise appropriated or so much thereof AS
he may consider proper, to the purchase or re-
demption of United States bonds provided,
that the bonds so purchased or redeemed shall
constitute no part of the sinking fund, but shall
be cancelled" What can be clearer than this
When the demands of the sinking fund for
1878 had been filled by the purchase of
LIS and As under the Treasury circulars of
August and September % 1887 the Secre-
tary began in October, 1887, to consider his
authority under the act Of March 3, 1881. lie
heard from all sides the opinion that the law
gave him full power to purchase bonds, but
Notwithstanding this he refused TO do so, and
although no one except he himself and the
President continued to doubt he persisted in
referring his unique uncertainty to Congress
He preferred to nurse the surplus" aud to
deposit $50, 900, 600 with the National banks.
But did Congress sustain the position taken
by the Secretary? Both the Senate and the
House virtually treated his pretence of lack of
authority with derision. While the action of
the Senate might be suspected to
have been prompted by partisan mo-
tiyes, what shall be said of that Of
the Democratic House? Does "The Evening
Postn remember how the Secretary was. treated
