WE ARE THE PEOPLE.
To the victors belong the spells, and the
Giant is on his rounds.
Tammany Republicans.

On Tuesday our machine Republican
friends in New York city held their long
advertised primaries, to initiate. SO it
was said. their new plan for developing the
genius of organization which has made
Iammany Hall the supreme factor in the
politics of the city Of New York. Tired OF
dcnouncng Tammauy. they now undertake
to copy it, Between the hours Of 3 and 9
=. NJ. therefore except in one district
where. by special request for the occasion
only. the voting was to begin at "a. NJ,
the enrolled Republicans presented them
selves. in cheerful compliance with Secre-
tary BELLAHY's rules aud ordinances. and
registered their preferences. There was to
be great shaking up of broken boughs
and leaticss trunks. a ruthless cutting Of
underbrush and tearing up OF weeds. and
from out all the havoc and devastation was
to come forth n young giant Of Republic
cansm, whose first duty is to be the hiring
OF n hall like Tammany's. After that. he
is to try conclusions with the tiger. Such
is the plan Of the reforming enthusiasts.
and it would prove. no doubt. to be good
plan. If it worked. But it won't work. and
the reason is plain:
Tammany Hall Is all-powerful In the
politics OF New York because it represents
the wishes, and conforms to the require
ments, of a great majority OF tho people
Tho Republican party here is weak be-
cause it does not represent the wishes of n
majority of the people. and does not seek
to, and, on the contrary, usually arrays il
self in antagonsm to the progress. we'll
being. good fame. and prosperity Of tho
ntr VN.Nt,,
minority. Its leaders are found favoring
or asserting to prescription. an odious
intimidation OF the electorate. n restricted
suffrage. and n narrow intolerance in gov
eminent such as the people do not approve
The real trouble. therefore. is not one
which early or frequent voting at prima-
rics can correct. Those have nothing to
do with the case.

The Visiting Giant.

On Saturday afternoon at 9 o'clock the
corridors Of the New York Post Office were
the scene OF an event exciting in itself and
full Of profound anagogical and alcgoricaI
significance. \ figure of gigantic height
suddenly appeared and shouted in clear
and thunderous voice. "We are the peo-
pie - The frightened clerks dropped pen
and letter. The loafers in the corridors
Iuaked as II a course OF compulsory baths
were before them. The newsboys let fall
their cigarettes. Crowds wrthed and
struggled on the sidewalks. Inside. the
very postage stamps CONCEALED with fear.
and the muclage bottles went on strike
Two officers Of the United States applied
themselves ut opposite corners Of the huge
intrudng mass. and sought to extrude it.
As well might two gnats try to fly away
with Tenerille or Atlas unremoved. 1--WE

sonorous cry. 1t rang out so loud this
time that the Hon. CORNELIUS VAN Corr
heard 1t in his private Office. and sent a
messenger to see what Democratic process

| The spirit OF accommodation might we'll

statesmen. Not only should they scrupu-
| lousy avoid embarrassing their one friend
| In England. who is at once sincere and pow
crful. by exacting moro than he can grant
In his present prccarious situation. but they
should assist him to confound his open ard
| secret enemies by n decisive strategic
stroke. II 1t be true that certain number
OF dissatisfied Gladstonians under Sir Ed
WARD REED have already organized n cave
for the purpose OF defeating the forthcom-
ing project OF homo rule. their conspiracy
can be foilcd by first introducing bills abol-
ishing plural voting and amending the reg
istration laws. Those bills will either lie
accepted or rejected by tho House OF Lords.
Should they be thrown out. Mr.. GLADSTONE
can appeal Mt once to the country on tho
ground that the Peers had presumed
to regulate the methods Of choosing the
peoples representatives With such an
issue he would certainly obtain a much
larger and more tractable ma jjority than he
has now. and 1t would then be easy for him
to pass satisfactory home rule measure.
Should the Lords. on tho other hand. as is
more probable. assent to the bills amending
registration and abolishing plural voting.
Mr.. GLADSTONE will have tho tremendous
advantage of appealing to greatly en-
largcd constituency at the general election
which will follow the inevitable rejection Of
tho new Home Rule bill by the upper House.
c,,, tad. Ok. 4 -.,-i,A
OF by the intelligent friends OF Ireland that
no Home Rule bill can possibly be passed UNI
I'll another general election has pronounccda
mandate which even Lord SALISBURY would
not venture to disregard. Such being the
indisputable truth. common sense will teach
the Irish Nationalists to see to it that MIR.
GLADsToNE's next appeal to the country Is
made under the most favorable conditions.
1t Is impossible to exaSgerate tho solem-
nifty OF the present crisis in tho history OF
Ireland. A terrible responsibility will fall
upon those Irish Natonalists who. by cap
tious and ill-timcd exactions. shall cause
the defeat Of the new Home Rule bill even
in the House OF Commons. or who shall
compel Mr.. GLADSTONE TO appeal to the
constituencies without any improvement in
the existing methods OF voting and regis
tration. AS years go on, and the fatal con-
sequences OF their course become patent to
their countrymen. the perhaps wel-mean-
ing. but certainly misguided Irishmen who
refuse to take what Mr.. GLADSTONE offers
may see cause to wish that they had
never been born. There nre conjunc-
lures when it may be said Of nations as
Of individuals. that stupidity is as harmful
as dishonesty and that fool may do as
much duma.c as q knave.

We foot up the figures presented above
merely to show how much OF the total ex-
penditure goes directly in salaries. All
other items of expense are here omitted.
The total appropriation last year for the
propagation. distribution. and in"estiga-
ton Of fish was 500. 900. or this appropria-
ton not less than $3.50. 494 o., or about 65
per cent. appears to have been paid out
for tho propagation and distribution of

How much more than the land cost did

no worse than any other Of the paternaistic
