ELACK FIXED.

The conviction of Sheriff FLACK, in
New York court. is calculated to
renew confidence in the jury system.
Sheriff FLACK was a political boss OF
no mean pretensions. He was recog-
-nized leader in Tammany and other po-
litieal societies. He was thorough
master of the machine, and could make
and unmake politicians with all the
readiness of the most expert jObber.
He could bamboozle court, including
the judge. the clerk and the attorneys,
into granting him a fictitious divorce.
He held the most lucrative Office in the
city, and the one that welded the most
influence. But all his power, influence,
ability and political associations could
not save him from just punish
ment when twelve true and honest
men got together in the jury box and
weighed the evidence against him.
They were unanimous in their verdict OF
guilty, and Sheriff FLACk was turned
over to the court to receive such SEN
tence as the judge thought he merited
under the law.
The FLACK episode not only speaks
well for the jury system, but it speaks
in admirable style Of the rigid and i'm
partial method they have in New York
of enforcing the system. 1t would be
well for all other American cities to
initiate New York's example in this re-
spect. When it is once understood that
station and influence are no protection
for scoundrelism, there will be fewer
Scoundrels in the world.

ALWAYS ALTERNATED.

The Republican experts are all max
ing up their figures for 1892 without
New York. This is one reason why
they are so eager to get in all the new
states that will vote right. Aside from
local and special causes that are I'M
favorable for them, they recall the fact
that the state oscillates in the national
elections. 1t has alternated between
the parties regularly since the war. 1t
was the practice before the present
alignment of parties. In the old Wing
days it was equally impartial. In 1886
it voted for VAN buren,. In 1910 it
went for HARRISON and the Wings.
Four years later it defeated CLAY and
elected Polk. In 1S4S its vote was
given to TAYLOR. and brought the
Wings in again. The last of the old
series was in 1852. when FRANK PIERCE
carried it for the Democrats. In 1856
it went against the Democrats, and the
slavery and war questions pre-
vented the Democrats from getting
together again till 1868. The two
intervening presidential elections we're
controlled by the abnormal politi-
cal condition. But in 1868 the see-saw
was resumed. 1t went for SEYMOUR
and the Democrats that year. Also in
1876 and 1884 New York went for the
Democrats, while in 1872, 1880 and 1888
the Republicans carried it. The Demo

NO CONDITION IMPOSED.
Britain Made a Bluff at Portugal
and it Counted.


LONDON, March 27.-In the house
of commons tonight, Hon. Phillip
Stanhope asked whether the status quo
insisted upon by the government in the
dispute with Portugal was being re-
stored, and what course the government
proposed to take. Sir James Ferguson,
under foreign secretary, replied that
there had been no condition imposed
that had reference to the restoration of
the status quo. That was newspaper
phrase. The government simply in
sisted upon the withdrawal of the POr-
tuguese forces from British protector
ate as the preliminary step to diplo-
matte discussion. That had been
done, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach,
president of the board of
trade, moved the second reading of the
tithes rent bill. He apologized for
pressing the matter upon the house,
saying, in explanation, that the govern
ment was convinced of the urgent ne
cesSity for an amendment to the pres
ent law. He asked the house to consider
the bill as an earnest attempt to do
justice to both the clerical and 1.-THE

CONVENTION AND PRIMARIES.

We print in this mornings GLOBE
the call issued by the Democratic city
committee for the primaries to be held
on Monday next, to elect delegates to a
convention to be held on the following
Tuesday, for the nomination of a NUM-
cipal ticket We take this occasion to
urge upon all good citizens who are
DESTROYS of honest and capable NUM-
cipal government the Importance of at
tending the primaries. There is no
question of the denomination of Mayor
SMITH, nor, for that matter, is there a
question of his reelection. But 1t is
equally important that the mayor shall
have associated with him on the ticket
candidates of the right stripe, men
of approved integrity and known to be
capable as we'll as honest. 1t would be
useless to nominate anything else than
a clean ticket and by clean methods,
and this fact ought to be well enough
understood by all parties. Honest and
capable administration furnishes the
only solution of the problem of NUM-
cipal government, and the party which
undertakes to obtain the control OF
municipal affairs by crooked methods
and with crooked candidates rarely sue
ceeds. The Democratic committee hay
ing determined to apply the Australian
system to the primaries, there can be
no danger of a crooked ticket being
nominated unless the voters wlllfully
remain away from the polls. Hence
we urge upon all friends of good NUM-
cipal government to turn out next Mon
day and give Mayor SMITH the indorse-
ment he merits and see to it that he is
lanked OH the ticket by candidates for
the subordinate offices who equally
with himself command the respect and
confidence of the people of this city.

NATIONAL POLITICS.
sherman and Alger.


Philadelphia Record.
Sherman has long since ceased to use
strong language in describing the con-
duct of Alger and his lieutenants at Chi
cago, but his feeling toward Alger has
not changed. AS long as Sherman lives
Alger will aspire to the presidency in
vain. Sherman will use his influence,
his money and the affidavits he procured
after the Chicago convention about AL
gers course to prevent his nomination.
If Alger should by any accident be NOM
mated, Sherman would help defeat him
at the polls. The strength of Sherman's
feeling against Alger gives double sig
nificance to Sherman's pointing Ali
son to Ayers diamond match trust as
a typical monopoly, which had been de-
clared by the supreme court of Michi-
gan against public policy. Sherman
meant that the reader of his speech
should apply to Alger all that he said
about the iniquity of trusts. Neither of
the Michigan senators likes Alger
enough to defend him.

SHERMAN AND ALGER.

As we have already indicated. it is
next to impossible for JOHN SHERMAN
to be actuated by an unselfish motive.
In the great fight against the trusts ne
is now waging in the senate, il crops out
in the discussion that his real purpose
is not SO much to benefit the country
as it is to pay an old score against Gen.
ALGER. Senator SHERMAN is still
Smarting under the scurvy treatment he
received at ALGER's hands in the Chi
cago convention, when the latter went
around and bought up SHERMAN's
negro delegates. JOHN SHERMAN will
go down to his grave in the full belief
that he would have been nominated at
Chicago but for ALGER'S sculduggery,
and that ALGER was backed in
his scheme by the trusts and
combines upon whose support SHERMAN
relied. To find the evidence of Senator
SHERMAN'S motive we have only to
refer to his speech the other day, into
which he Incorporated the full text of
decision rendered by the Michigan SUI
preme court which flayed ALGER alive
on account of his connection with the
infamous Diamond Match trust. The
court decided that such combination
was menace to the public, and refused
to enforce any agreements entered into
by the match combine, in effect declar-
ing that the ALGER trust was illegal,
and had no standing in the courts of the
land. Senator SHERMAN's speech was
pretty black record for ALGER, yet we
are not sure but it will help him to the
Republican nomination in 1892. A
party that stands on high tariff plat
form is apt to be in search of just such
candidate as ALGER. The man who
ean organize trust to shut out compe-
tition is, after all, the best exponent of
Republican tariff principles.

The Raid on the Treasury.

Boston Globe.
We find no fault with the defeat of
the Blair Education bill, but the main
motive for the defeat is startling, to say
the least. Senator Hawley clearly
showed his fellow senators that the
treasury could not afford it. He proved
that if the bill should pass there would
be deficit of S73.05O, 900 in the revenues
for the year. 1t has come to this. then.
The carnival of extravaganza, the reck-
less squandering of the peoples money,
has not only used up the enormous
treasury surplus, but thus early in the
session the fear of a deficit stareS the
squanderers in the face. Already the
country has reason bitterly to regret
the election OF Republican congress.
