THREE HUCKLHBKRRY REPUBLTCANS

The scheme to enrich company OF spec
ulators by enabling them to gridiron the An
nexcd District with street railroads under con-
ditons extraordinarily advantageous to them
and hostile to the city passed the Senate yes
terday by vote of 10 to 10. 1t did not pass
on its merits. 1t has no merits. 1t passed
because three Republican Senators who ought
to have been in better company and better
business deserted their party and voted for ii.
Their names are Coggcshall, Emerson and Rich
ardson and they ought not to be forgotten.
If they know nothing about this job they stultl-
fled themselves by voting for it. II they know
anything about it they did far worse than that,
for it is impossible that they could know any
thing TO its credit. II is one Of the boldest
and most shameless swndles ever directed
against the welfare Of this community. Ii
comes near TO breaking the record Of this
fraudulent and corrupt Legislature. 1t gives
away franchises Of enormous value grants ex
emptions 70 which no honest claim can be sug-
gcstcd, and puts prospective burdens upon this
community to which there is not a shadow of
excuse for subccting it. And for this meas
urc, condemned by every consideration of pub
lie welfare and fortified only by the nsolent
uflndlll> oI inc J'HlOtIdliC IIIlp, tnIcc NcpuD-
lican Senators either ignorantly or detiantly
voted
The outrageous features of this job have been
repeatedly exposed and no Senator who voted
for 1t yesterday will be patiently listened to
If he undertakes 10 plead that he did not com
prchcnd It's provisions. Two or three of its
most indecent fayors TO the monopolists at
whose dictation it was created were stricken
out by amendment at the last moment, but it
remains essentially rank. II will 90 back to
the Assembly, and eventually the Governor will
have another chance to say whether or not it
comes up to his exceedingly moderate stand
ard so that there is possibility that it may
yet fail 10 become law. But McSSrs Cogges-
hall, Emerson and Richardson have made their
record and need not expect to be able 10 revise
it. At a critical moment, when their adverse
votes would have left the bin without a ma
joity they deliberately put it through. They
did bad days work for this city, and. we
venture TO say, for themselves Likewise.

TARIFF REFORM LUSTRA TED.


The second part of the Democratic National
platform is to be framed in the House by a
vote on Mr. Springcrs Woollcns bill. The vote
on the Bland bill committed the party to free
silver, a large majority of the Democrats voting
for that measure in spite OF all cxpostulationS
and warnings, and appeals for delay until
after the Presidential election. Next to Free
Silver comes Free Trade. Presently almost
every Democratic vote in the House will be
cast for abolition Of duties on wool, for free
admission of shoddy and waste, and for rcduc-
ton of the duties on wooen goods. 1t is to
be hoped that the bill will pass the House with
little delay, because the agitation of the ques-
ton at this time has no other purpose than 10
frame a political platform. 1t is perfectly well
known by the Democrats in Congress that the
pending Tariff bill cannot pass the Senate, and
if it could, the measure would be stopped by a
veto. For the purpose of showing what they
mean to do with the power if they get it, and
how far they are willing to 90 toward destroy
ing American industries by permitting UNI
checked competition, the Democrats Of the
House are engaged in supporting this hill. IL
is intended as sample of Democratic reform
and as such will be welcomed by Republicans.
When this bill was under consideration in
committee some things occurred which may
well be recalled to mind. AT first the inten-
ton of the committee was to make wool free
and to cut off only the duties on woollen goods
which were imposed as compensation for the
duties on wool, leaving the manufacture ex-
actly the measure of protection that it has en-
joyed. Such was the Democratic pretence. but

Governor Albeit has declined to approve the
much talk ed of Reading DEAF bill passed by
the New-Jersey Legislature, and it accordingly
falls to the ground. He is not entitled to much
credit for his action, however. Doubtless II he
had dared to do so he would have signed IT.
While frowning upon the bill, the Governor
undertakes to defend the Legislature for pass
ing it, What he offers in behalf of the leglS-
lators is lame defence

This is bad year for Legislatures. New-YorK
has not in many years been so badly served py
it's lawmakers as by the present fraudulent oody'
which is to keep on with its work for three weeks
or more longer. The Legislature which recently
adjourned in New-Jersey was by common consent
as bad one as the State ever afflicted wlth'
having been kept within bounds only BY the en-
rene pressure put it by the party bosses ID the
interest Of Leon Abbett's election as United STATES
Senator next year. Reports from Maryland snow
that DOODLE is the prominent factor in the Leg
slature now in session at Annapolis, and it is
charged that bribery is carried on in the most
open and unbushing manner. The Democrats arc
in control at Albany. at Trenton and at Annapolis
and must bear the brunt OF the responsibility Tor
condition of things that is scandalous and dis
graceful That party has the habit OF acquiring
bad eminence' in just this way, and the haoit
has grown inveterate.

With no flourish of trumpets, the last stones
of the Washington Arch were put in place
yesterday. The honor of laying them fell to
Stanford White, the architect and r. w. Gil
der and w. r. Stewart, two of the most active
promoters of the work. The erection of this
arch is an enterprise entirely creditable to this
community There could be no more fitting
memorial of the great Washington celebration
in 1889. Although the cost has considerably
exceeded the first estimate of 100000, the
amount has been secured with the exception of
$1,000 There ought to be no delay in pro-
viding for this small balance
Judge Werts used plain language in his
charge to the Grand Jury in Jersey City yester-
day. The jury is composed for the greater
part at least, of public-spirted citizens who
ought not to shrink from doing their full duty
toward the punishment of lawbreakers With
out mentioning any names, Judge Werts d-
rected q portion of his remarks at the vile Gut
tenburg gang which has brought disgrace upon
Hudson County and which is now straining
every nerve to secure the election of Allan l..
McDernott as Mayor. The powers of the
Grand Jury in the premises are not doubtful.
Its duty is clear. Judge Werts insists that
laws which exist ought to be enforced. If the
Grand Jury takes that view, Hudson County
will soon be q cleaner and more reputable
place to live in.

REQUESTS ITS WITHDRAWAL.
Mr.. Blaine Asks That Nomination be
Cancelled Because of Some Unjust
Criticisms.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-Secretary
Blaine has written letter to the Presi-
dent requesting the withdrawal Of the
nomination of Frederick A. Bancroft of
New York, late librarian of the depart
ment of state, for consul at Brunswick,
Germany. This action is due to the pub
lished criticisms of the secretary in con-
nection with the case which the secre-
tary assumes emanate from Mr.. Ban
croft The secretary explains that the
cause of Mr.. Bancroft S removal as libra
rian was his utter unftness for the posi-
ton. He says that Andrew H. Allen,
appointed to succeed Mr.. Bancroft. has
been connected for about eight years
with the department of state. He is a
graduate of Harvard, 1878, of studlous
tastes and habits. 1t is hoped he may sue
ceed as librarian. Mr.. Blaine says: ssThe
state department never changes it's SUBJ
ordinate officers except for good and suf-
ficient reasons. In the three wears or
more that I have been in office, I have re-
moved or requested the resignation of
but two men, subordinate clerks of the
lowest grade, for undue and excessive
absence from duty" Mr.. Blaine also
remarks that from the first secretary of
state to this hour the appointees of the
department have rigidly maintained their
places during good behavior with no in
quiry whatever into their political opin-
ions.

TWELVE HUNDRED KILLED.
Every Household in Port Louis, Mauritius.
Has an Injured Member.

LONDON, May pa despatch from
Mauritius says that in the city of Port
Louis alone 900 persons We're killed by
the terrible hurricane thatrecently swept
over the island. In various country dis
tricts it is estimated that an equal num-
Der of lives werelost. Among the build
ings wrecked were the Royal College and
"a churches. Many sugar mills in the
country were completely demolished.
The hospitals in Port Louis are filed to
overhowing, and nearly every house in
the city has one or more of its inmates
under treatment. In Port Louis alone
1000 persons were injured. There was
no loss of life among the British troops
stationed on the island. Though a large
part of the crops were destroyed, no
famine is apprehended.
For some time after the storm the peo-
pie were panic-stricken by the disaster
that had befallen them, and the utmost
confusion prevailed on all sides. Now.
however, order has been restored. .but,
the governor states that pecuniarv as
sistance is needed. Thousands of peo-
pie have lost their houses, and there is
much suffering. Baron de Worms said
that Lord Knutsford, the colonial sebre-
tary, had communicated the facts of the
disaster to the Lord Mayor of London.
and stated that the latter would at once
open fund for the benefit of the island

CHICAGO, May 20.-That the situation
cannot become much worse is about the
only consolation left to the flood scourged
inhabitants of the Mississippi valley.
From the very source of the Father of
Waters down to the Louisiana delta the
story is one of desolation. Fences ruined,
houses swept away, live stock drowned,
railroads idle, human lives in danger.
Such is the history of the big flood.
Beginning at St. Cloud, north of Min
neapolis, where the dams are reported to
be giving away, following the Mississip-
pi to Keokuk, where the great Egyptian
levee has yielded, flooding thousandssof
acres of the richest farm lands on the
continent; thence in succession passing
the cities of Quincy and Alton, where the
work. of the wind and water has been
disastrous, the first great stage of the
desolate journey ends at St. Louis.
1t is impossible to make an estimate
of the damage to property in that city
and vicinity, except to saw that millions
will express it, and that the loss en-
braces untold acres of growing crops.

factories. the stoppage of trains and the
