THE UNFULFILLED PROGRAMME.

The Democratic party, now in complete and
undisturbed possession Of the House OF Repre-
sentatives at Washington from page to Speak
or, will please accept our congratulations. They
have $50 majority, and ought to be perfectly
happy. Thirteen months ago they we've looking
forward to the organization of the Lid Con-
gresS as the supreme event in the history OF
their organization, as well as in the lives of its
individual members. No party had ever elected
such a majority of members of Congress no
party ever received such sweeping vote OF
confidence, such an overwhelming demOnstra-
zion of popular approval. And no party, they
said and kept saying over and over, had ever
been visited with such a crushing rebuke as the
Republicans. In interior towns and the rural
districts there were aged Democrats who had
been waiting for it for thirty years, and who, now
that it had come in such a tremendous volume,
saw in it vindication of the Administration Of
James Buchanan and condemnation OF every
thing that had been done under Republican Adj
minstrauons since Mr.. Lincoln violated the Con-
stitution by invading the South and coercing
sovereign States Others considered it vnd-
cation simply of the Administration of Grover
Cleveland and a condemnation of that of Pres-

Contingent kicked up their beautiful heels and
shouted that it was all owing to their having
taken hold of the poor decrepit old sinking
concern and lifted it up to responsibility and
power. They were all hilarious, jubilant, full
of juice, vinegar and hope.
They had programme, too; programme that
glowod in every line with confident trust that
the Republic was about entering on a new ca
reer career in which Free Trade, Free Silver,
economy in public expenditures, reduction of
pensions, and reform OF the Civil Service would
be the instrumentalities by which our ruined in
dustries would be revived, our debts and mort
cages paid, our pensioners relieved from tho
disgrace OF being supported by the Government,
and the public service put in the hands Of men
who, whatever else they could or could not do,
could demonstrate by algebraic processes the
propriety of putting somnolent persons of I'M
certain integrity in the position of nght-watch-
men. They would elect Speaker whose Free
Trade views were outspoken and aggressive, and
who would organize the committees in such q
way that the position OF the party on that all
important issue could not be misunderstood or
gansaid a Speaker who would offer the most
striking contrast to tho Tyrsnt Reed. Thsx

would not divide up the Offices in the usual
way, but would assign worthy and deserving men
30 positions they were manifestay fit 10 fill after
a severe and rigorous competitive examination.
They would move together in short, in single
ness of purpose and harmony Of action toward
the general millennium. Even Republicans
looked on the exuberanoe Of the hour with some
thing like satisfaction, for, however much they
may have disagreed with their opponents as 20
the desirability of the ends at which the latter
aimed, or the methods by which they were to
be attained, they did think that the enormous
Democratic majority in the House and the APP
parent agreement among the majority upon the
meaning of the election gave reasonable promise
of fair fight in the open in 1892. And that
was all that any Republican desired.
But the majority of ono hundred and fifty that
began tumbling into Washington in the latter
mart of November have not thus far fulfilled
either their own programme or the public ex-
pectation. They came together, not harmOni-
ously but in violent collision They began with
wrangling over the very question on which they
seemed so united and harmonious year ago.
They separated into factions on the question OF
Free Trade at the outset, and after spending
weeks in bitter controversy ended with split
which, according to their own organs, seems
irremediable. On the question of Free Silver
they are equally inharmoniou apd uncompro-
missing, and the division of official spoils instead
of being made in accordance with the principle
of Civil-Service Reform has been so bunglingly
done that hundreds have been disgruntled where
one has been pleased, and the public service so
far as the new men in power can reach it, is
borne down by incompetence and disgraced by
the lowest partisanship.
THE TRIBUNE extends its congratulations to
the one hundred and fifty majority. They have
not carried out their programme, but they have
at least succeeded in making two parties out OF
one. And if ii is true that he is public bene-
factor who makes two blades of grass grow where
but one grew before, why is it not benefaction
10 make two parties grow where one grew be-
fore? There are reasons for thinking so.

is THERE 4 HILL-FLOWER ALLI4NCE'

rs THERE 4 HILL-FLOWER ALLIANCE!
1t is reported at Albany that David b. Hill
and Roswell =. Flower have formed political
partnership for the furtherance OF their respective
ambitions for public Office. That Hill is favor
ably disposed toward Flower is attested by the
fact that Flower was his first choice for Gov
ernor to succeed himself That Flower takes to
Hill is pretty clearly indicated by the appoint
ments which he has made for his own admins
tration at Albany. He retains the Adjutant-
General who was named by Hill and is now in
Office, and also Hills private secretary and a
number of members OF his staff. Furthermore
it is understood that Hill is endeavorng to Sc
cure the retention of several other officeholdeS
who owe their places to him, and that Flower
seems to be inclined to follow the recommended
tons OF the outgoing Governor.
"When one eats with the devil" says the old
proyerb, che ought to have long spoon" Smith
NJ. Weed may feel like reminding Mr.. Flower
of that Injunction as he hears OF the Hill-Flower
combination That Hill has joined forces with
Flower is possible that he has done so with the
intention OF acting squarey toward the Governor
elect is not probable considering that Hill is the
most coldblooded and selfish of politicians. Hill
has everything to gain and nothing to lose by
making deal WITH Flower, but what has Flower
to make by the deal? Hill may have given MIN
to believe that in case he cannot capture the
Presidential nomination next year his second
chcHto will be Flower But Hills treatment Of
Smith NJ. Weed in the matter of the United
States Senatorship ought to convince Flower that
Hills word is not 10 be depended upon. The
only thing about Hill which is to be depended
upon is his devotion 10 Hill. If he can mako
more by selling out Flower than by beng true
DO him Flower is going to be sold out. If Flower
has any doubt on this point let him communicate
with Mr.. Weed or with Lieutenant Governor

Sir Ambrose Shea. Governor of the Bahama Islands.
who was in this city recently In connection with the
laying of cable between Jupiter, In Florida, and
Nassau the capital of the Islands, is between sixty
and seventy years old. His hair is entirely gray lie
Is native OF Nova Scotia and has filled the Office
which he now holds and the first Official place to which
he has ever been assigned under the Crown for four
years. Lady Shea. his wife, is a woman we'll advanced
In years. She has genial and kindly bearing, and is
good talker Although they have no children, they
manage to make life enjoyable on the Islands, the
climate of which is mild al the year round, by many
parties and gay receptions at the Government House
in Nassau where the official residence Is and where Sir
Ambrose rules with almost complete authority lie
says that the salary only about $l1 900 year. but
the duties are light, and when the cable is finished 1t

1t is already evident that there will be some
active canvassing in Kansas for the honor OF
filling the vacant Senatorshp. The man named
by Governor Humphrey will be sure of the Office
for only a year as the Legislature which meets
in 1893 will elect a Senator. But the Gov
errors appointee will of course be a candidate
at that time and naturally a formidable can
didate. From the opinions expressed in Wash
ington there is little likelihood Of Mr.. ingalls,
returning to Washington as the successor of his
long time colleague.
The farewell dinner TO Governor Hnl-empha-
sis on Governor" pleaSe-is ostensibly to be a
tribute from the State officers and their subor-
dinates. The list viii lack completeness, how
ever. One prominent State officer will not honor
the banquet table by his presence. Lieutenant
Governor Jones would not be persona grata
on ths5 occasion. Therefore he will stay away.
Furthermore, he has not been invited. But
Grover Cleveland, it is understood, has received
An invitation. Public curiosity will not be stated
until it is known whether he accepts or declines.
The meeting of the Republican State Com
mittee to-day will be an important one. Among
the subjects to be considered the one of largest
interest is the expression OF the commlttees
opinion on the iniquitous attempt Of Governor
Hill to steal the Legislature. It's utterance on
this head will be couched in no uncertain terms
and will adequately voice the Republican senti-
ment of the State regarding this gigantic con-
spiracy. The committee will also consider the
question of choosing delegates to the National
Convention and the proposed amendments to the
Ballot-Refom law. AS respects the latter it is
hoped that bill may be agreed on which viii
be acceptable to all who are interested in secur-
ing truly secret ballot

What they offer is that, on condition of an in

CANT sum-they will make the Museum free at
all times, besides keeping it open on Tuesday
and Saturday evenings and on Sunday after
moons. The Board of Estimate is to consider the
matter at a later meeting, when, we presume
the friends of the Museum will be on hand in
force to urge the granting of the increased ap-
preparation. Not a greau deal of urging should
be needed to bring about favorable action.
