a TEST OF FURPOSE.

The resolution of Mr.. K. NJ. Smith that
no nominee should accept a nomination at
the hands of any other convention is
pretty fair test of the purpose of the Irving
Hall Democracy. If what the leaders want
is a share of the spoiis, there will be no
trouble in coming to an arrangement with
Buckley. That astute manager well knows
that the loss of the number of Democrats who
Will follow the Irving Hall Convention if
none of its candidates fall down Will cause
his overthrow. If the Irving Hall leaders
want 10 overthrow boSsiSm more than they
want a share of the offices with Buckley,
they will not allow their candidates to ac-
cept a Buckley nomination. An indorse-
ment by the Buckley Democrats would be
equivalent to tie disappearance of the can
didate as member of the Irving Hall De-
mocracy. He would become to all intents and
purposes Buckley candidate. There have
been independent Democratic conventions
in this city before. We have seen indie
pendent Democratic tickets nominated and
withdrawn when three or four of their can
didates have been provided for by the boss
convention. Wedo not know whether tie
Irving Hail Democrats propose to go the
same way or not. The rejection Of Smiths
resolution indicates that the possibility of a
trip over the beaten ground is in the minds
Of its leaders. There are men in the move
ment who do not propose 10 lose sight of
the avGwed purpose OF the organization.
There are others apparently who know the
political value Of an organization which may
cast from 5000 to 5000 votes. The crucial
test Of tie Irving Hail movement lies in this
resolution. If the nominees are at liberty
to bargain with Buckley the Irving Hall or
ganization will fade away. The Irving Hall
delegate who opposed Mr.. Smiths resoiu-
tion on the ground that it was an admission
that it is inferior in strength to the Buckley
organization was evidently talking for effect.
The Buckley organization will doubtless
poll more votes than the irving Hall organi-
cation. Still the Irving Hall movement may
overthrow Buckley if that is their real OBJ
ject. The CALL is interested in this move
ment as means of showing what proper
tion of the Democratic party clngs TO Buck
ley and his methods, when the choice is not
limited 10 vote for the Republican ticket

ON ITS KNEES.

Mr.. Buckeyes morning organ is on its
knees. The nominations made by the Irv
ing Hall Democrats are the handwriting on
the wall which presages the fall of the boss.
The Buckley organ frankly admits that it is
the strength of the Irving Hall ticket that
constitutes the danger Of the movement.
Having made this admission, the organ
saws: 'If any man on the boiling ticket
shou l find, when the regular convention
meets, that it has nominated a satisfactory
candidate for his place, it will be his duty to
withdraw" This is begging tile question.
The object of the movement is TO overthrow
boss rule. The reformers do not regard any
man on the Buckley ticket as satisfactory
candidate. From Mr.. Pond down every can
didate on the Buckley ticket will be sub
ordinate to Mr.. Buckley himself. The
voters were led astray two years ago by the
appearance Of what they thought was sat
isfactory candidate at the head of the Buck
ley municipal ticket Thousands of anti
Buckley Democrats yo!ed the ticket Mr..
Pond was on in the belief that he would
stand between the public and The plunderers.
But what has Mr.. Pond done to protect the
people? Has he kept taxes from increas-
ing? Has he seen that the money given the
several departments was wisely expended T?
Has lie caused reduction of water rates ?
Has he, in short, done anything that MIR.
Buckley might not have done had he nomi-
mated himself for Mayor in place Of Mr..
Pond2

A MATTER OF REGRET.

Buckley's morning organ says: 1T is a
matter of regret to the Examiner that the
Republican party has chosen Colonel Mark
ham as its candidate for Governor" There
is no reason to doubt the sincerity OF this
regret Colonel Markham was nominated
against whatever of boss rule there Is III
the Republican party at the present time.
The men in the party who aspire to the
place in the Republican party Mir. Buckley
occupies in the Democratic party opposed
the nomination of Markham. One of them
announced in authoritative tones few
days before the convention met that Mark
ham would not do. Governor Waterman
and Private Secretary BorUck read them
selves out Of the party in frantic effort to
defeat Colonel Markham. But what seemed
at the time an element of weakness has
proved tower of strength. The Republi-
can masses wanted to find man the ma
chimes opposed. The delegates from the inte-
rior nominated Markham in the belief that
If elected he would serve the people rather
than boss The nomination OF MI Pond
at San Jose confirms the Republican masses
in the belief that they named the right
man. Mr. Pond is so clearly the nominee OF
the Democratic boss that the two nomlna-
tons create an issue. Ii is boss rule or anti
boss rule The election of Pond would be
a declaration on the part of the voters that
they prefer boss rule. On the other hand
the election of Markham will be declara-
ton that the people prefer 10 conduct then
affairs without the aid of a boss.

AIMED Ar srEAKME REED.

The waste of time caused by the absence
of members OF the House raises the question
as to the obligations assumed when man
accepts a nomination to Congress. There are
most of the time from ten to forty members
absent, without counting those who are not
in their seats but may be found when roll
call is ordered. There will be perhaps 125
members of the dominant party in constant
attendance, but they are unable to do busl-
ness because a few of their number are alb
sent. The average Congressman seems to
think that he has performed his duty when
he has paired with an opponent on pending
measures. But pairing does not make up a
quorum. The work of the present session
might have been where it is now three
months ago if no time had been wasted.
The change of the rules made necessary by
the avowed determination of the minority to
require quorum OF Republican members to
be present TO do business cost two months OF
time, and there has recently been solid
two weeks lost in roll-calS. A writer in the
New York Tribune advises Republicans, be-
fore nominating candidate, to require from
him pledge that he can and Will devote
his entire time during the session to the
business of the country. This suggestion is
supposed to have been aimed at Speaker
Reed who left his chair to take hand in
the Maine Congressional elections. Other
Congressman are now absent looking after
nominating conventions. But there is nc
need for the session Of Congress to continue
in election years up to the October preced-
ing the November in which elections are
held. Congress has the power to fix its OWL
time of meeting, and can arrange its sessions
so as not to extend into the month of cleo
tons. If the three months this Congress has
devoted 10 the reyiSal of the rules and wasted
in consequence of the absence OF quorum
were taken from its term Congress might
have adjourned in July in place Of October.

this as high price for money. But only
short while ago Mexico could hot sell bonds
at all. Credits plant of slow growth, and
does not always depend on actual resources
and Indebtedness. New Zealand, with a
population of some 100000, an income of
about $40, 900 and a debt of $S0,000,000,
can sell its bonds in London at far better
rates than Mexico. The province never de-
faults.
1t is quite within the range of possibility
that the vigorous and rapacious race to
which we belong will some day elbow the
MeXicans out of the States of Chihuahua
and Sonora. But it will be crime against
civilization if the Government of the United
States lends hand to hasten or supper. any
flibustering enterprise with that object In
view. The days Of the Lopez and the
Walkers have passed away. Neighborly
duty bids us aid and foster the growth OF
Mexican prosperity by every means in our
power. We owe it to our neighbor to pre-
serve the best relations with it, and to stamp
out the enterprises of reckless adventures
who fancy they can repeat in the nineteenth
century buccaneering adventures which
were possible in the eighteenth. 1t would
hardly have been necessary 10 refer to sub

MEXICAN RESS.

The message OF President Diaz, just sent
in to the Mexican Congress, let's some light
on the progress Of the rehabilita tion of our
sister republic. The public revenue from
all sources now amounts to $50, 100000. To
Americans, accustomed to magni fcent arrays
of figures footing up in the hundreds of
millions, this showing will not seem large,
but it is much for Mexico.
AT the beginning Of the decade $4,000 the
aggregate revenue Of Mexico from all sources
was in round figures SIS, 100000. 1t has thus
increased IA per cent in ten years, nearly
three times as large propGrtionate increase
as we have seen in this country. 1t is in
customs duties that the increase is chiefly
shown. In four years they have grown from
49, goo to S24, 900, 000-an Increase of 10
per cent. This implies an astonishingly
rapid development of foreign commerce
mainly caused by the completion of the rail-
road Whit connects Mexico with the United
States. 1t is curious to note that the esti-
mates of the Mexican Finance Minister for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1890 were so
sanguine that they exceeded the fact. the
aggregate revenue from all sources being
figured at S37, 100000, as against S36,0O00O0
actually collected. In this country our
iiedsuiy tstlIidleS BtHtTdliy Idu DelOW une
subsequently developed reality.
Still, notwithstanding increased income
the expenditures of Mexico continue to ex-
coed the revenue, and every year a million
or so is added to the debt. The actual re-
turns of expenditures for the fiscal year
1SS9-90 are not yet published, but the esti-
mates laid before Congress at It's last ses
sion called for S36, 700, 600. and we may be
sure that they reached that sum at least.
The national debt, however, is now in a
manageable state. Through the financial
conversions and grading which began in
London forty years ago, and have now been
carried out to completion, the foreign debt
of the republic has been reduced to $50. 500,-
600 and The domestic debt to S24, 200. 900. in
all SIC, 100000, which is not an unbearable
burden for a nation containing twelve
millions of people and receiving every year
$36,000,000 from taxation. Mexican credit
does not stand as high in the worlds mar
kets as it should. The loan of 1888, which
was contracted to take up overdue bonds
and coupons, was negotiated on the basis of
7S1a for S100in per cent bonds. Last year
the contractors, who held an option on bal
ance unissued. took it at S61a for the 500 in
the same skies. We in this country, who
are accustomed to see Government fours
selling at over 20 per cent premium, regard

PREPAYING INTEREST.

Last week Mr.. Window paid out several
millions Of dollars in interest on Government
bonds many months before it became due.
His object was to relieve the money market.
1t was mere incident. that the money so
paid out went Into the hands of bondhold-
ers. But Democratic journal, which ad-
mits the need of the relief afforded. criticizes
the Administration on the ground that it
collects millions Of taxes from the people
many months before the need arises and
th en- hands the money over to the bondhoId-
ers to use during financial crisis. So far
as the causes of the stringency have been
ascertained, the demands of importers to
pay duties on goods imported in advance of
the needs OF the people is the principal one.
If goods could be brought 10 under the pres
eDt tariff that would in the ordinary course
of trade have been imported after the new
tariff bill shall go into effect, the importers
would save considerable money at the ex-

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Trains running at the rate OF $50 miles an
hour within the next ten years is a possibility
discussed by prominent electrical engineer
who claims he can construct an electric motor
capable OF doing II. To attain this speed the
road would have to be perfectly straight or with
curves of so slight radius that they would not
be source OF danger. The rails which would
have TO be much heavier than those In use. would
have to be insulated from the ties by s)me uon-
conducting material. and enormous dynamos,
driven by engines OF 5000 horse power, would
supply the electricity. The trains that would
run over this railroad would be drawn by fifty
ton motors, great weight being necessary 10
hold them 10 the track. The cars would probably
be round and entil ely inclosed, receiving theit
supply of air from ventators like those on ocean
steamships. train running at $50 miles an
hour would he asserts, be like tornado that
would sweep of everything near lis course. The
vicinity OF the track would therefore have TO be
kept clear. {" This wonderful speed" declares
Professor illiam d. Marks, is no Idle dream.
When you consider that at the Centennial the
only development OF electricity was few arc
lights, which were displayed as a sort OF ex-
perimental plaything and that now there is
