FLOWERS EXPENSES.

The true inwardness of the desperate
Democratic struggle TO control the New
York Senate is TO be found in the
quiet curiosity generally manifested with
regard TO Flowers FIVE thousand dollars.
The Democrats are thoroughly well
aware that unless they can unseat Re
pubicans enough 60 ensure them a ma
jority the indisputable evidence which
has been obtained of the open and very
general purchase of votes throughout the
States must inevitably lead to a rigid and
searching investigation.
There is a disproportion noticeable to
the most casual observer between the
five thousand dollars which Flower Avs
he spent and the million dollars which u
canvass Of the districts shows TO have
been expended. The tiger never took so
short pull at the barrcl. The Repub-
hcan Senators already have plans laid for
satisfying their natural aud perhaps par
donable curiosity in the matter, and il
is not impossible that visions Of i'm
peachment proceedings are beginning TO
dance about the pillow of Gov.-elect

AS I WAS SAYING.

"It's curious fact" said President
Watson of the Common Council, show
closely the growth Of the city in popula-
tion and the increase of its taxable valua-
tion have kept proportionate pace. Away
back when we had about ll5, 900 people the
taxable valuation stood somewhere near
$4,000, 900. At 123, 900 the proportion was
the same. When the city grew to $4,000,
its valuation stood about as many mil
lions. Now that its population is estima-
ted at 1885, 900 to 140, 900, the valuation has
gone quite little above a thousand dol
lars per capita, which speaks well for the
city's later prosperity"

CONVICT REROISM.

There flashed under seas yesterday the
tale of a most striking display of heroism
on the part of the woman convicts on
Andaman island, the British convict
settlement in the Bay of Bengal. One
of the buildings in which male convicts
were confined was blown into the water
in course of Mondays cyclone. AT the
risk of their lives the women joined
hands, making a human rope, by the aid
of which they slowly and steadily fought
their way through the boiling surf to the
rescue of six fellow beings.
Courage belongs to neither sex alone
and transcends character and conditions.

and 1879, and in 1881 was elected to the
Senate. Ex-President Grover Cleveland
was governor during 1898, but the
"silver tongued orator could not pull
with him. There was so much friction,
in fact, that Cleveland asked John Kelly,
Tammany's chieftain, to keep Grady at
home.
In his letter to Kelly, Gov. Cleveland
said that Grady's very presence in the
Senate was bar to honest legislation.
AS result Of this letter Grady was
"kept at home,' but he never forgave
Cleveland.
After the nomination of Cleveland for
the Presidency in 1884 Grady took part
in the Butler movement and stumped
the State and country against Cleveland.
In 1880 Grady got the nomination for
the Senate in the Sixth District against
John f. Ahearn, who was then County
Democrat.
He was beaten in that contest, and
little, If anything, was heard of him
until the recent campaign, when he
posed as a wigwam orator.
The 81, 900 plum he has just received
was given to him, it is said, at the dicta-
ton of Mr.. Croker ON the recommenda-
ton of Gov. Hill.
Does this not indeed look like graft
tude on the part of Tammany to Mr..
Cleveland?

ENGLAND STANDS ALONE.

In his speech at the Lord Mayors
banquet on Monday evening, Lord Sails
bury was entirely frank but not more so
than facts warranted him in being.
"The cause of protection" he said,
"does not sink it rises. The recent
elections in the United States have
shown that the slight reaction against
protection has spent its force. l am
afraid that for the time being England
must be content to occupy peculiarly
isolated position in the industrial strug-
GLE"
England's position is isolated beyond
question but a growing proportion of
Englishmen are far from content that it
should be so.
