DEMOCRATIC SRAMS.

As a party of shams the free traders cap
the climax. Under stress of mlSrepre-
sentations of the results of protection
they secured a majority in the Flfty-sec-
ond Congress, pledged to sweep away high
tariffs. Side by side with their pictures of
the calamlties to follow the Mckinley bill
the party painted in glorious colors the
excessive expenditures of the Fifty first
Congress, and undertook to show the
country an example of scrupulouS
economy.
1t kept its pledges by passing some half
dozen bills nibbling off corners here and
there from the protective tariff, and gave
every evidence that it would have lacked
courage even to do that unless convinced
that protective Senate would nullfy its
action. For the rest, the Democrats oc-
cupied their time with buncombe speeches
on the evils Of wastefuiness, while even
their most rigid economizers readily sue
cumbed TO the temptation OF log-rolllng
Already this Congress has surpassed the
appropriations of its predecessor for the
same period of its existence. Yet, not
satisfied with that record, it adds insult to
injury by supplementing its useless ex-
travagance by cheese pairing in a case of
necessity where its parsimony endangers
national credit Its memoers already
show disinclination to regard its latest
and most radical expressions of opinion,
and the country is confronted by party
with audacity enough to ask for the sui
frages of the people on declaration OF
opinions that it has shown its ability to
disregard.
Nothing could be much worse for the
country Than the free trade plank of the
Chicago Convention. But there is one
thing worse, and that is the utter unrelia-
bility that comes from an absolute disre-
gard of past pledges in the history of the
party.

DEMOCRATIC PROGRESS IN ENGLAND.

Lord Chief Justice Coleridge, of Eng
land, delivered judgment yesterday that
will live long for the straightforward en-
phasis of its language. A workman had
brought suit against the Duke of Rutland
because his gamekeepers blocked high
way while driving grouse. During the
evidence it transpired that the plaintiff
was knocked down by the gamekeepers
on the public road and that on appealing
to the Dukes son, Lord Edward Manners,
he was told to get off the earth and warned
that if he were shot his life would be on
his OVID head. Manners maketh man" is
an ancient English motto that this sprig of
nobility would do well to study that he
may make his conduct tally better with
the laws of the land.
There is such evident injustice on the
defendants side, so far as can be judged
from the briefly cabled report, that it is
difficult to understand how the action
came under the notice of the Chief Justice
at all But the scattering remarks with
which Lord Coleridge accompanied his
deliverance warrant the assumption that
lordly sportsmen will henceforward show
a greater regard for public rights than
characterized the performance of Lord
Edward Manners in this instance. As the
Chief Justice remarked: 'The days of
high-handed interference with the rights
of the people have passed. and, if the Duke
cannot conduct his shootings without lhed-
ding with the right of the public to use
the highway, he must elect other places to
hold his battues.''
There are still too many laws on the
English statute books that favor the titled
at the expense of the commoner. And
until these are repealed it is at least salts
factory to know that nobility, so-called,
will not be allowed to transgress such
laws as do exist to put limit on their
arrogant assumption.

A FRANK AyOwAL.

A remarkable statement concerning the
relations of the wholesale and retail
liquor dealers with New York politics has
just been made public. The assertion
does not come from any impracticable
from the liquor point of view-tem-
perance advocate; nor is it made by the
hated mugwumpS. 1t is in the organ of
the liquor trade, the Wine and Spirit Ca
sette, that the following striking view of
political morals in connection with the
liquor trade is pres ented.
In former times, under the old ballot law
which made fraud at the polls easier, the at
tempt has been repeatedly made to use the
condition OF bondage in which many saloon
keepers are held by the brewers and whole
salers for political purposes and the brewers
especially have largely traded on the polit-
ical influence which they were thus sup
posed to possess But matters have changed.
The new ballot law has made it very diffiult
to control the votes of others. The saloon
keepers, though they may be the vassals of
their mortgageors in themanagemento of their
business, have learned to know that their
votes are their own under the new ballot
law, and have begun TO feel their political
independence.
This frank statement of the functions
of the liquor trade in politics, made by the
organ of that business, has double in
terest In the first place, it displays a
commercial interest avowedly run on the
lines of selling its political influence. The
brewers and wholesalers are alleged to
have kept the saloonkeepers in bondage
for purposes of political trading. The ex-
act consideration of the trade does not
matter. so long as the portrayal of this in
terest offering itself in the political mar
ket is vouched for by its own organ.
There is some mitigation in the other
branch of the asser rtion that the new bal
lot law in New York has weakened the
solidity Of this commercial element in

NOT A NEW DISCOVERY.
The Moons of Mars Referred to by voltaire
in 1859.

The Moons of Mars Referred to by Voltaire
in 1859.
To the Editor of The Dispatch:
The remarkable paragraph concerning the
moons Of Mars in Swift's "Gulliver's Trav-
els" has been often quoted, but the follow
ing words, written by Voltaire in l752, in his
tale, "Micromegas." are equally curious, al
though not so nearly approaching scientific
exactitude as the great English satlrist.
Translated the passage Is as follows: But
to return to our travellers. After leaving
Jupiter they traversed space OF about lOO-
700 OF leagues, passing near to the planet
Mars, which, as is well known, is five times
smaller than our own small globe; they re-
marked two moons which accompany this
planet, and which have escaped the scru-
tiny of our astronomers. 1 know that Father
Castel will write against the existence OF
these two moons, but 1 refer to those who
reason by analogy. These good philosophers
understand how difficult 1t would be for
Mars, so tar from the sun, to do with less
than two moons" j. X. w W1LLIAMs.
