CHAIRMAN MURPHY As 4 HUMORTST

Edward Murphy, ir., has not commonly been
regarded as funny man. Ii is doubtful if
even his most intimate friends have ever sup
posed that he had in him the making Of re-
marks which would cause Laughter to hold
even one of its sides. But it seems that none
of us has adequately appreciated Murphy. We
have allowed his talents as political leader
TO render Ills blind to his ability as a humorist
But now that he has issued his address, us
chairman of the Democratic Committee in re-
lation to the new Election laws in particular
and to ballot reform in general, it is impOS
sible for his fellow citizens longer to withhold
from him the hearty recognition which is his
due. As a politician he is skiful, but he just
shines as wag.
The conclusion Of the address in question
is follows:
The party 10 which you belong has greater stake
than any other in the faithful and honest enforcement
of these laws. They designed to prevent fraud
intimidation and corruption at the polls the abh0rrent
means so frequently employed by our adversaries to
defeat us II the object Of these laws Is thwared
In their execution, the banefu effects Of such Influences
In future elections will be greatly milgated If not ell
trely destroyed Free elections and fair count have
We confidently rely upon you cooperate with us in
securing for the people the benefits which must re
suit from successful and efficient administration OF
our present election laws.
What could be more delicious than this CON-

4 MEASURE THAT OUGHT TO PASS.

4 MEASURE THAT OUGHT To PASS'
Tomorrow is the day assigned by the House
of Representatives for the consideration OF the
bill which confers upon the clerks and other
employees in first and second class postoiiices
the benefits of the Eight-IIour law. The
TRIBUNE has repeatedly advocated the passage
of this measure, believing it to be in the IN
terest of the general public as well as OF the
eight thousand individuals whom it immedi-
ately concerns. A man who is Oyerworked
cannot, in tho nature of things, steadily do his
best and the facts which are familiar to those
who have Investigated the arguments that
sustain this bill prove that the clerks and en-
ployes in question are OverwOrked.
Besides, it is proposed to extend to these
public servants no unusual, no excessive IA
vOrs All that they ask is that they shall be
allowed to come under the existing Eight-llour
Invite law which now applies not only TO
letter carriers, but to mechanics and to a vast
body of other workers in the employ of the
Governments q. The demand is perfectly just
one. and no valid reason can be given why
Congress sbould not promptly respond to It,
Our postoffce clerks deserve well OF the peo-
pie At present there is a discrimination
against them. To pass this bill is merely to
give them fair play. There is no politics in
the measure, and it ought to be enacted by
a unanimous vote.

ing from Edward Murphy, jr., commonly
known as Ed? The spectacle OF Richard
Turpin exhorting his hearers to scrupulous hon
estv or of the youth who fired the EpheSlan
dome decamng against incendiarsm, could
scarcely have been more droll. Mr.. Murphy
represents an element in politics which made
the passage of the Saxton law necessity
If NAV be said that he was part of that which
had 10 be reformed. For years his name has
been a synOnyme for corrupt politics IN RehS-
seIaer County. Under his leadership, II not
by his direct collusion and contrivance, frauds
were committed ut the Senatorial election Ill
Troy last fall which were so fragrant and bare
faced as TO attract the attention of the entire
State and arouse the Indignation OF all VINO
believe in fair play. The Democratic mem
bers of recent Legislatures with whom he has
affiliated steadily resisted by every means III
their power the passage of genuine Ballot
Reform bill.
This is the man. this is the identical Murphy
who now takes the field as propagandIst III
the interest of "frne elections and lar
count Nor does his humor stop here. lie
gives it a fit climax by insisting that the Dem
ocratic party of New-York has "always" been
q party that stood for honest elections-as
though there were a person OF intelligence
between here and Buffalo who is not perfectly
well aware that the monumental election frauds
which have disgraced the state were com
mitted by the Democracy for the Democracy.
Murphy is undcniably a great humorist' put
let him be prudent If he should try to he as
funny as he can the consequences might under
mine his constitution.

It will be unfortunate IT, rs "a result Of the debate

platform and the public utterances of its leaders, is
Just much committed to honest elections a

though the Will be made to depend the other.
II Is scarey conceivable that the majority Of the

cratic senators for the purpose Of defeating necessary
legislation. Honest elections fully necessary

Indeed without honest elections there is danger that
whatever Tariff bill may be passed will be repealed

Admiral Braine's programme in connection
with the Ericsson ceremonies on Saturday has
been completed, and an order covering the
makeup of the procession and it's movements
was issued yesterday. There is no doubt that
the honors to be paid TO the great inventor
will be in keeping with the feeling of respect
and admiration which the country entertains
for him. The name of Ericsson has long been
one to conjue with in America. In sending
forth his remains to rest in the soil of
his native land, the Nation will join with the
city in tribute TO his memory and renewed
recognition of the great services rendered by
him to his adopted country in its hour of
peculiar peril.

Spinach, the common edible, whose name is

the lovers of which will long remember the year
1890 Now, some of the growers of spinach have
been inquiring the cause of the failure, and the
wise man aforesaid has shed light the ques-
ton. Spinach, strange as it may seem, is the
victim of various fungus diseases, and these are
all accurately diagnosed and the proper remedies
suggested. The value of such n treatise is self
evident. Elsewhere spinach may pine and wither
and die. but in New-Jerscy, if the pub. doe.

Yesterday was day of uncertainty as to the
railroad strike on the Central and It's possible
results. The Knights of Labor have not yet
played their trump card though they seemed
ON the point of doing so last night. Their
hesitation indicates at least doubt as to the
success of such move. Should the plans
under contemplation be carried into effect the
amount of inconvenience and loss to the public
would be incalcuable The failure OF the
labor leaders in their attempt to tie up the
Central road may well give them pause before
cmbarking on the larger undertaking which
they have under consideration. The Central
officers maintain their attitude of determlna-
ticn. and declare that there will be no change
Of policy in case fight of larger proportions
is forced upon them.

The reason for the address to the pubic
adopted by the Executive Committee OF the
Grant Monument Association is plain enough
but none the less there will be general salts
faction hereabout at the announcement OF a
fixed purpose to begin work upon the monu-
ment at an early day. Five architects nave
been requested to submit designs for the pro-
posed work. and soon after September ! one
of them is likely to be selected. There IS about
$4,000 now in the treasury of the assoca-
ton. and it is expected that as soon as design
is chosen the number of contributions VIII
rapidy increase. The intention is to begin
the erection of the monument and complete so
much of it as is possible with the funds Sc
cured, leaving to the future the carryIng-out
of the plan in its full details. II is high time
that beginning at least in this matter was
made 1t was big undertaking to raise hali

But New-York must give evidence OF its good
faith without delay if it wishes TO stay the

After the usual series of delays the Brooklyn
Aldermen have at length authorized the con-
struCtion of certain extensions of the water
supply system which arc necessary for the
comfort and safety of our neighbors beyond the
big Bridge. These include the laying of big
main from the Ridgewood Reservoir to the
western portion of the city, and the erection
Of a standpipe to supply the high region in the
vicinity Of Prospect Park, which has grown so
rapidly in popularity of late. The diatoriness
of the Common Council has not been so marked
in this case as in reference to the extension of
the water-works on Long Island, but so far as
is apparent it has been due to no different cause
and no higher motive The only satisfaction
is that it might have been worse

Senator Hoar's amendments to the Ouay
resolution will precipitate discussion upon
two grave questions. If the proposed rule to
limit debate is adopted however, it will put
the second question and all other questions
in such shape that the majority will be able
to handle them with reasonable dispatch. The
necessity for the application of the previous
question to the business of the Senate has be.
come more and more apparent since it was first
suggested, and the sooner the point is decided
the better for the Senate and the country. The
minority will make bitter fight against it, of
course, but so they will against measures of
such importance as the Tariff bill and the
