UNINTELLIGENT KICKING"

Are the American people childish? We can
hardly believe that they are. and yet many of
them often display spirit that is closely akin
TO chidshnesS. Take, for instance, the recent
Outcry against hand-organs and street bands in
this city. For long time were treated TO
denunciatlons of these peripatetic musicians as
nuisances, and appeals made to the city
authorities TO abate them. At last acting in ac-
cordance with what seemed TO be a strong gene raj
sentiment, the hand-Organs and the street bands
were banished, when 10 and behold the tickle
public began to protest against the edict of
banishment. Apparently the very same people
whose nerves had been racked by the strdent
notes of the gutter bands now up to ask
why the music of the people was interdicted by a
soulless municipality. And great deal of fervid
rhe toric was at let loose in ringing the
changes on this theme. All of which seems in
consistent and just little childish.
Almost the same thing happened in the case of
the electric wires These wires were denounced,
and properly denounced, as dangerous TO life; and
the authorities were loudly called on to suppress
at once the electric lighting companies. The
companies bowed before the storm of popular In
dignation, and for a time ceased lighting the
streets Were the zicllers' satisfied? BY no
means They at once became vastly indignant
because the city was plunged in darkness; and
narrowing accounts of the way in which footpads
were plying their trade in the unlghted streets
were daily recited The companies were again
denounced for their indifference to public com
fort and safety in leaving the city in darkness
and there was much angry talk about compelling
them to turn on the lights again. All this Is
Characteristic of spoiled children rather than
rational men, and indicates that noisy clamor
does not always have much reason behind 1t.
Doubtless also, the English sparrow would FUR
nish another ca.e in point, IT, for any reason, he
should be banishcd. The very people who have
been dcnOuncing him for years in the klckers
column" Of various newspapers would at once
turn around and demand his reinstatement. In
deed, n few kiclIcrs7 are already complaining
that. owing to the alleged recent decrease of this
pu gnacious little bird various kinds Of caterpilars
are in the habit of dropping into their whiskers
rs they walk through the streets. And, ignoring
their former indictment of the sparrow they
loudly call upon him to pick tho disagreeable
creatures Off them.
Americans have been told for many years that
they ought to develop the virtue of kicking
Maybe they ought Certainly there are plenty of
things to kick" about. But let us at least
" kick intelligently. and with some regard to
consistency and reason. Otherwise our kicking
will he not only ridiculous, but will fail to ac-
complish any good re ult.

| in Hawaii. There are also indications OF It's
hearty sympathy with the policy OF developing
| trade and improving our diplomatic relations
with the South and Central American States.
Revond these problematc signs of possible
activity in connection with the creation Of the
navy and the development of shipping inter-
ests. apparently there is nothing that betokens
so radical departure from traditional diplo-
macy as "The Sum- anticipates.
One thing, however, is clearly shown by the
complete change Of tone of popular comment
upon American diplomacy since Secretary Bay
ards retirement from the State Department..
The period of ingorious inaction, futile COM
promises and dishonorable abandonment of Ma
tional rights has passed. The Republican Ad-
ministration had not been In power three
months before the Samoan controversy was
boldly taken up and settled on American prin-
cinles at Berlin. This was convincing dem
onstration that questions involving National
honor were to be vigorously and resolutely dealt
with. The diplomacy Of the State Department
on English and Canadian issues remains a sealed
book. but journals of both parties allke are
assuming with confidence that the interests OF
the country will not again be compromised and
frittered away, as they were under Secretary
Bavard's incompetent management. The honor
of the country is to be upheld in any negotia-
tions that NAV be conducted with England or
any other European Power. That is the con-
clusion which Americans with unerring instinct
have already reached. Whether or not the Ad-
ministration is contemplating series of brill
iant strokes in the Antilles, Nicaragua, Hawaii
an tho Soutb Seas the country believes and
it has reason to know, that it will have vigor-
Gus, self-respecting, and highminded diplomacy

ern brethren ever were. No intelligent man
can famliarize himself with the way in which
the late election in Troy was conducted without
having the conclusion forced upon him that
fraud defeated General Rogers for the Senator
ship. This brave soldier, who risked his life
for his country on many bloody field and has
discharged all the trusts Of civil life faithfully
and skilfully was swindled out OF his election.
II was the will of the majority f the voters OF
the district that he should represent them in
the Legislature, but gangs Of repeaters brought
their will to naught. Glance at the returns
from the Sixth Ward as they are reproduced
in the Ietter-for John |. Gilbert and the rest
of the Republican State ticket more than 300
votes for James G. Rogers 20 votes. Was
there ever more palpable cheat?
The next Senate can have no more exigent
duty than a thorough investigation of this
atrocity. Until the grievous wrong which has
been done to the voters Of Troy is righted every
decent man in the State may well hang his
head. 1t is high time that New-York in all
its parts was made too hot for repeaters and
related enemies of the common welfare who
prey upon the balot-box.

A CRIME AGAINST THE PEOPLE.

Treason against the United Statesn saws
the Constitution, d" shall consist only in levying
war against them or in adherng TO their enc
mics, giving them aid or cOmfortn Under the
last clause of this section why could not re-
peaterS, ballot-box suffers, and fraudulent in
spectOrs Of election be held guilty of treason ?
Certainly, such unmitigated scomdrels adhere
to the enemies Of the United States. and give
them aid and comfort, since they do their best
to make a wreck of government by the people.
Every monaIchist the world over doubtless
feels more secure on his throne when he hears
Of anything which threatens the republican
| system. Thousands Of thorough going Amer-
cans who cherish "A deep and abiding love for
their country would hold up both hands for
such a construction Of this section of the Con-
stitutiOn. Or at all events they would rejoice
at the passage of a law declaring that con-
splatOr against the ballot-bOx was a traitor.
One need not be surprised if the chairman
Of the Democratic Committee of this State dis
sents from these views Indeed it is evident
that he holds that the best use baIlot-box can
be put to is to be stuffed Are we Going an
injustice to MIR. Edward Murphy, jr.? Those
who are laboIing under the impression that

use his power? Well, as we have already re-
marked the facts which our correspondent pre-
sents justify the assertion that he holds that
the best use ballot-box can be put to is to be
stuffed. People are accustomed TO think that
the most fiagrant outrages upon voters are

they are correct. But il is clear that the De-

RESULTS

1t is now plain, as THE TRIBUNE stated di-
rectly after the elections, that the Republicans
have retained pluraties in Iowa and Ohio ex-
cept for one candidate in each State. The plu-
IaIity for the Republican candidate for Lieuten-
ant-Governor IN Ohio, according to latest ac-
counts, Is only Al, but all the other candidates
except the candidate for Governor have larger
pluralites In Iowa all the State officers elect
ed except the Governor are Republicans, by
majortles said to be about ten thousand. This
measures the relative strength of parties more
correctly than the vote for Governor Special
opposition, in no way touching the general pol
icy of the party, reduced the vote for Governor
several thousand below that cast for other Re-
publican candidates, both in Iowa and Ohio.
This does not alter the fact that the failure
of many thousand Republicans to vote gave the
Democrats their opportunity in nearly all the
States voting this fall. Because National issues
were not by the voters considered directly in
volved in the elections this year Republicans
and Protectionists neglected to vote for State
officers. and so gave the Democrats an oppor-
tunity to claim great revolution Of public
opinion" against the Republican National
nOlicy.
New-York tribune., 1889-11-15
MASSACHUSETTS, INTERPRETED.

In certain Massachusetts towns the Repub
Gcan vote fell short or scarcely exceeded the
vote of two years ago, while the Democratic
vote showed considerable increase. These were
principally towns in which the manufacturing
population supplies large share of the voters
Thereupon the Free Trader cries Behold a
revolution against protection" At the same
time. the machine Democrats cry: Behold
how the secret ballot, for the first time en-
ployed this year, sets free thousands of work
ers from the political tyranny of employers
Now, men and brethren it will not do for you
to use this little morsel Of fact as proof to sup
port two contradictory theories.
Either the manufacturing vote was free two
wears ago or it was not. If the voters were not
free. and now change their votes because for
the first time they act upon their beliefs, there
has been no revolution of opinion about the
tariff. Or if they voted according to their con-
yictions two years ago. and also last week,
then there was no tyranny over these voters
which the Australian ballot has removed. The
disputant will have to get on one side or the
other of that logical picket fence; the attempt
TO stand on both sides will be found painful and
risky.
If one brings little honesty and common
sense to bear upon the problem, he will first
observe that when people are voting for State
officers only, who have nothing to do officially
with the tariff, they are less likely to express
their opinions on the tariff question than when
voting for Congressman and President Last
year Massachusetts voters gave 81 900 plu-
rality for Republican President and elected
ten Republican Representatives in Congress
out of twelve. That expressed pretty distinct
ly their opinions on the question of protection
This year, having only State issues to vote
upon, they cast smaller vote and give a small
er plurality. A Free Trader is indeed hard up
for encouragement who imagines that the latest
vote is better proof Of opinions on the tariff
question than the one cast for Congressman
a year ago.
The comparison made by the Free Traders
includes only few picked towns, casting less
than fifth of the vote of the State. 1t is quite
unnecessary to add that different selection of
towns would have shown different results. In
some places the Democratic candidate for Gov
eror lost heavily, according to his friends, be-
cause of the unpopularty of his opinions on the
tariff. Putting picked figures aside, the fact
appears that 80, 900 votes, more or less. who
voted last year in Massachusetts when the tariff
was directly in issue, failed to vote this year
when it was not. 1t ought to be obvious TO the
meanest understanding that this is scarcely
proof of change of opinion. Also, it should be
obvious that party certain of success is more
likely to neglect the duty of voting than party
which befools itself with vain hope that by
desperate efforts it may possibly succeed OF
the many thousand voters who failed to vote
this year more were Republicans than Demo
Gratis. That only proves that the Republican
party embraces too many lazy voters, who take
victory for granted.
