COWS AID THE FEALTH BOAED iC4TN


The Tribune still desires to he known as stand
ing like stone wall between She small and
helpless body Of cow-owncrs in this city and a
hasty and prccpitatc Health Board. An article
was printed in these columns few days AGO. in
which strong ground was taken against recent
rules in regard 10 the leading Of cows II appears
10 have borne fruit as the Board has materially
modified its action. I'm this article We not only
questioned the wisdom Of limiting the distance
which cow might be- led to a quarter OF a mile,
but We objected To- the Boards plan of attaching
10 every animal pcdomctcr, which would 80
Of n1 like an alarm-clock when the prescribed dis
fancc had been travcrscd. We pointed out the
injustice t. the man who should get into the
middle of Madison square with his COW and sad
dcnly discover that he had touched the quarter
mile limit. and be obliged to stand there with her
till the nest day before he could lead her back.
We are clad to see that the members of the Health
Board read our remarks, and, in measure, gave
heed 10 them.
I'm the revised rules tIc unjust discrimina.io ion in
favor OF the river COWS and against the inland
cows is done away with, and the quartcr-mile
limit is removed. But the new rules contain n
provision which il seems to us must work a great
hardship on cow-owncr,. H. is this The Board
will permit the leading of COWS IN the streets be-
tween the hours of and , n. III. only, and each
cow must he led by two persons Now, We would
ask the members of the Health Board II they do
not consider it a hardship for man to he Obliged
10 get mp at or or o'clock in the morning
in order to exercise his COW. How would one of

govern both. protectonists framed and Pro-
tectioniss only are likely to be satlsieu WIN
both. Larger public knowledge of trusts ana
their workings has led the House committee
10 some reduction Of duties which the senate
did not reduce. Later events or information
have led the House Committee to the adoption
of higher duties in some cases. particularly as
70 farm products. than the Senate proposed.
As a Senator from an agricultural State Mr..
Allison is not likely to oppose the House bill
because of these notifications. In the main,
and in essential principles and purposes, ehe
bill is the very one which he was so hotly de-
nounced for pushing through year ago, ana
those who are putting him now have little real
notion that he will antagonlzc the ideas ana
methods which he then favored
II does not often happen that the Senate and
the House agree so closely on a Tariff bill as
they seem to have agreed upon this measure.
Some points of disagreement are likely to he
found it would be strange indeed if there
should be none. But the majority OF Senators
and the majority of Representatives were
chosen by and represent the same great bOdy
of voters. who met the tariff issue manlully III
1883, and then decided by their votes, not Tor
a reduction of duties in the direction OF Free
Trade. but for uph0fing and completing the
protective policy Mr.. Allison and Mr.. Me
kinlcy both represent that great body OF
voters, and will respect its declared wishes.
Both are aware that the Democrats, the Free
Traders and the Mugwump "Tarlii fciorIn-
crs" would 90 into fits of JOY if one or the other
of these leaders could Ire persuaded TO hire
himself out to the cause of Free Trade Tor a
time. 1t is tolcraby safe to anticipate that the
wishes of the Republican par'T will prevail IN
a caucus or consultation OF either House, ana
that no man inirlsicd with responsibility for
a measure of such importance, a member OF the
Finance or the Ways and Means Committee,
will SET himself against his party.
The changes made in the Senate bill by the
House Committee appear judlclous in nearly
all particulars. The proposed duty on hides

pcctcd 70 be dropped in the House, according

not forcco the opportunity to propose any fur
rhcr amendments for which reasons can be
shown before the time comes for action in the
House. But il seems probable that the meas

essentially from the bill already described IN

BPdZJL md SOUTH AMERICA.

Civic courage is lacking in Brazil. The
Government Of the day Is constantly employ
ing the forces of repression against contempt
ible adversaros whom it has no cause TO fear.
\ mutiny arising from quarrel between a
sergeant and a corporal was made the prcieXi
last December for "A general decree OF martial
law and several political leaders under the
Imperial Administration were baniShcd and
prescribed after an ll-conductcd military in
vostgation. 4 decree has been issued this wcck
proclaiming that panic -mongcrS shall be tried
by court martial. This display Of energy is
directed against the authors OF various idle
tales which have been obviously intended to
effect stock -iobbing purposes. They are men
aced with prosecution before a tribunal en-
powered 10 deal with them with Roman stern
ness and Russian vigor. Their power and re-
sources are magnihcd by Government which
cannot conceal It's own uncasncsS and timor-
ousncss 1t would be wiser and more rational
TO dcSpisc the vagaricS Of bailcd ntrgucrs and
mcrccnary rumor mOngcrS. Let the Govern
mcnt cast away its own fears if il desires to
inspire public faith in the pcrnanencc OF exist
ing institutions. According to American stand
ards unnecessary and ill-rcguatcd displays OF
force and repression will tend to increase pub
lie uncasncss by revealing the Government :
own want Of confidence. \ decree against
mischief makers 50 insignificant as these stock
obbing liars is not sign Of strength, but rather
of weakness and lack Of coulaGe.
This is a valid ground of criticism, so far as
American experience is concerned But il is
manifcstly unfair to apply to Brazil the stand
ards OF enlightened public opinion in the United
States Republican methods there must be
tested by South American standards. IT can
not reasonably be expected that republican
government can be founded there in six months
that will answer all the requirements Of self
reliant and progressive democracy in the United
States 1t will not be essentially different
from republican government i'll other South
American States; and that is something
markedly inferior to republican government
either in the United States or in France. The
Ministry in Brazil have recourse to martial law
because they are dependent upon military sup
port. From the American point Of view mil
itary government is to be condemned as un-
republican but in South America the army is
invariably political force The State con
stiutions may be rough copies OF the American
Constitution but nearly all those Governments
are olgarchics with military garlisOns in the
CAPITALS and chief cities. Public opinion is not
an organized fOicc in those republics. There
are no popular elections in the American sense.
An outgoing President ordinarily nominatcs
his successor and the support OF the army
rather than the untrammelled choice of Legis-
latures OF the free action OF electors determines
New-York tribune., 1890-04-03

the result There is hardly Government in
South America that does not depend in large
measure urOn military force. The brazilian
revolution was military movement instiga'ed
by popular dissatisfaction with centralized ad-
ministration. The Government of the day has
remained an essentially military organization
with more highly centralized powers than the
Imperial Administration exercised. and an army
recruited to double the oldime strength is be-
hind it. According to South American stand
ards there is nothing unnatural in its methods
of procedure In those attitudes military gov
ernment is the accepted substitute for the sell
acting forces of enlightened public opinion
Allowance must also be made for the preva-
lence of French ideas in Brazil-not the po-
lit1cal practice OF the self-governed France OF
to-day. but the older and crudcr traditions of
the France of 1872 The French is almost the
only foreign language which educated Brazil
ians take pains to learn. The only literature
which interests them is French and Their po-
litical ideas have mainly been derived from
that quarter Unfortunately, they know little
of France as il is to-day under new ana
progressive order Of political development.
Their inspiration comes from the decree max
crs of the great revolution: and their most
advanced thinkers are followers OF Comte bent
upon carrying out extreme mtionalIS'Ic CON
ceptionS of the functions of human government.
The American Constitution will probably form
the model for thoir permanent scheme OF gov
ernmcnt; but they know nothing OF American
literature or political history. EouSscal'
Robcspicrrc and Comtc are their political guides
not Gamhctta THEIRS and Carnot Every
decree that is issued in Rio bears the impress
of French intellectual influence. The same
literature is current in all Spanish american
countries the bookstores being filled either
with French works or Spanish tranSlaiionS oi
them but il is in Brazil that these influences
are most potent. The political theories OF the
educated class are largely formed from RouN-
scau's and Comtc's writings and some OF the
most powerful leaders are even more anxious
TO inaugllrae an era of reason and 10 over
throw religion than they are 10 establish
permanent republican order. These tcndcn-
ces need to be counicracicd by newer pollt-
cal literature from France and more direct
and practical knowledge of American lnStitu-

JERSEY CITY'S MAYOR.

1t has long been known by every one at all
familiar with NowJerscy politics that the un-
happy municipality of jersey City has been in
the hands of ring as corrupt as INSCRIPTIONS
and as villanous as the infamous Tweed Ring
in its worst days. But comparatively few
people outside Of Jersey City. and perhaps not
a great many within that town, VINO are not
members of the Hudson County Ring, had any
idea of the true character of the man who has
flied the Mayors chair for number of terms.
The startling exposure of the record OF Orestes
Cleveland in Yesterdays TRIBUNE ought to
make it impossible for him to cajole or delude
the voters of jersey City into putting him at
the head of the city government again II the
Democratic party on the other side of the llud-
son River had any sense of honor it would in
sist upon the immediate withdrawal Of this
tainted and corrupt candidate. But the fore
most men in that organization have proved III
so many ways their utter lack of conscience
their complete disregard of dcccncy. that it is
hardly TO be expected that they will do their
obvious duty in this matter. The probability
is rather that they will ignore the tremendous
arraignmont of their candidate for the Mayor
atty. and will insist upon retaining him in his
place on their ticket.
But surely no respectable and upright mem
Der OF either party can afford to do anything
in this emergency but to labor and TO vote
against so unworthy and dcspicabe "A candl-
date. The proof against him is overwhelming
and unanswcrablc. II is obtained from the
unchallcnged and unQucstiOncd records of the
Dixon Crucible Company, and il shows that
by the most outrageous breach of trust the
company was wrecked by the operations OF
OreSteS Cleveland In any city not completely
in the grasp of a ling OF thieves this man
would have been indicted long ago. But i'm
munity for any sort OF crime seems to be not
only easy but the general rule in the hapeS>
community which has been pundcrcd for 50
many years by the Ncw-JcINey imita,orS of
Tweed. 1t would be amazing. indeed, that
defaulter should have occupied the Mayoralty
seat for years We're il not that il appears to
be the custom rather than the exception to
confer upon known and acknowledged knavc>
the highest honorS and cmoumcntS within the
Gift Of the voters of Jersey City.
The recent revelations Of ballot-box frauds
in Hudson County were startling and shocking
enough. although they seem 10 have failed 70
move in the least the Democratic leaders who
are really responsible for them. But places
like Jersey City, which have been the spoil
and prey of conSpiratorS and pratical com
binatons for years. get into the habit Of look
ing upon balot-boX frauds with comparative
indifference. The exposure Of the evil exploits
of Orcstes Cleveland. however, is of such
nature that it ought to startlc even the most
sluggish in that city. Can it bc possible that
jersey City will bring upon herself the fright
ful disgrace of rc-clccting such a man as
Mayor?
New-York tribune., 1890-04-03

frequently be a beneficial thing; but the average
cow-owncr in New-York retires before midnight,
and there is nothing pleasant about being awak-
cncd by the promptings OF guilty conscience
concerning an unexercised cow in the first sweet
sleep of early dawn. And, not content with driv-
ing the owner of the cow from the warm pre-
cincts Of his bed at o'clock in the morning, the
Health Board insists that each cow must be led
by two persons-he must take his wife or some
friend with him. The COW is not beast OF prey
In her native state she does not range the forest
and spring upon the belated traveller from tree.
H. would seem that one ablc-bodied man should be
comnctent 10 lead a cow about the streets Of New
Yorl, at 3 o'clock in the morning. Will an auto
cratic Health Board next require us to muzzle our
cows when we appear with them IN public ?
What the cow-owners of New-lork must do Is to
organize, rise up as one man, and demand their
inaenable rights.
