THE UOEH ar CONGRESS.

Congrcs, has spent the iiI,i quarter OF the
year in getting ready. The time has not been
wasted. Every hour spent in getting the rules
settled and putting the Republican heel on the
tyranny OF the minority. has saved many hours
in the consideration OF every disputed qucs-
ton. The decision in contested eases is duty
second to none. The labor OF committees IN
preparing and deciding upon important bills
has been in the highest sense necessary better
no time IN the House than no time in the com
mi'tcc. But there will be time enough Tor all
useful discussion of important measures If the

"A public calamity. and a calamity TO the party

about Democratic newspaper Offices a SuS-

about the tariff after all: that tanglc VIII
somehow lie engineered, that the whole
business can be put over until the next session.
The wish is father to the thought. Nothing
would delight Democrats more, or help them
more in the elections next fall, than to have a
Republican Congress fail 10 keep lis pledges.
The strong men Of the majority in the House
have not lacked the fidelity or the courage thus
far 10 meet every emergency. Their friends
are not anrrchcn>ivc that there is going to be
dispayed either incapacity or cowardicc by the
Republican majority Many great branches Of
industry and trade are waiting, and losing much
hy the unavoidable uncertainty, but willingly
in the hope Of safer and brighter future
1t will be far from profitable to prolong
that uncertainty year. Because this is known
lust as well at Washington as at New fork it
is safe 70 say that action will not be unneces-
sarily delayed

are looking forward to probable exports of gold
before July. and to demands for moving the
crops in August If the House and Senate
agree on the Window Silver Bullion bill, with
out notifications calculated to impair It's value,
there will be assured supply of currency OF
fixed value in gold. But if that is not to be
done. there will be need to intruSt the Secre-
taly of the Treasury with large discretionary
powers as respects the reserves held and the
purchases of bonds, in order to meet the emer-
gencies which may arise. Probably Congress

peal issued yesterday by the managers OF the
campaign of Mr. Perkins, the honest men :
candidate for Mayor. 1t is reproduced in an
other column. number of the election officers
who are legally entitled to preside at the cleo
ton to-day have been arrested and 1t Is be-
licved that not all of them will have the " I'M
pudent assurance to attempt TO perform their
duties. In the event of their non-appearance
the voters present at any polllng-place are au-
thorizcd to fill the vacancy Hence 1t Is OF
great importance that friends of honest gov
eminent should turn out early and take adj
vantage of possible opportunities to secure a
fair election. Every vote is needed, and every
influence that can be brought to bear should
be excrted in behalf OF the reform which it is
possible to achieve by union of all good cit
liens.

The prospects of ballot reform in New
Jersey are not encouraging. The bill prepared
in secret by joint committee was laid before
the Assembly yesterday, when it was subject
cd to amendments by the score. The prin-
cipal amendment provides for the use of Off
cial enveopcs-a device not considered neccs-
sary BY many careful students of the question.
An amendment striking out the provision for
the distribution of ballots prior to Election
Day was, however, rejected. The two branches
Of the Legislature do not appear TO be pulling
together on the subject, and there is grave
reason to fear that if any bill becomes a law it
will be so emasculated as to be OF little value.

Mr. Gladstone has been incorrectly quoted
as opposed to the international Copyright bill
now pending in Congress. In the letter which
MIR. K. 1. Johnson. secretary of the American
Copyright League. has Just received from him.
ard which is printed elsewhere this morning
Mr.. Gladstone is Sc, right on this point. While
he does not approve the bill in all its details, he
is earnestly in favor of lis general principle and
wishes il to become law The bill failed in
the last Congress, after passing the senate,
not because there were not enough votes in the
House to pass it. but because other business
caused it to be repeatedly put aside. Much
the same condition Of things prevails to-day
There are enough votes in lis favor, and If a
time could be fixed for considering the meas
IRE. it would be passed in a few minutes. It
is the plain duty of Congress to act on the
Copyright law without needless delay. and re-
move the stain which the absence of such Il
statute has affixed to our National honor.

Mocks has chosen the better part OF valor
and has gone to the Tombs to spend month
in seclusion. OF course, he undertakes TO
make it appear that he is an innocent and
much injured man but on that point there arc
at least two opinions, and we are constrained
to believe that Meeks's view is shared by only
a small minority of those familiar with the
facts. The Jury who convicted the Flack con
sprators erred on the side of mercy, and Judge
Barrett, in passing sentence, was compelled to
take their recommendation into account.
Otherwise Meeks'S residence in the Iombs
would have lasted longer than thirty days.
His appeal still stands, but as he has decided
to take his medicine at once, he cannot hope
for much from the action of the higher courts

the Senate Committee on Cities yesterday was
