No FREQ Trade Platform In Pennsyl-
vania.

Major SrNdERLY's newspaper denounces
the platform Of tho Pennsylvania Demo-
Gratis because 1t does not come up to the
Mugwump idea OF tariff reform. Major
SNaERLY's opinion is interesting because
he IL ono OF the delegates-at-large chosen
by the Convention.
The resolutions adopted at Harrisburg
and pronounced by the Record to DO "slip-
shod to the verge OF cnrclcssness and confu-
sion." call for the repeal OF the MCKINLEY
tariff, the frce-listing OF the essential raw
materials OF American manufactures" and
the adoption Of n revised tariff with duo
regard for the rights Of American labor and
the preservation Of our manufactures"
In this resolution. as it will be observed.
the Democratic principle OF protection for
American Industries Is distinctly asserted.
It is an excellent platform: ono on which
the Democracy could carry the country.
But to Major S1NaERLY. and to the Mug
wumps. and tho CLEVELAND idolaters and
the free traders generally. this recognition
OF the right Of American industry to pro-
lection against foreign competition seems
very foolish. What tho Record would have
liked Ia n plank "in favor OF tariff reform
that shall as fast rs possible. with duo re-
gard to tho necessities OF all interests. bring
the country back to a rercnue system as OPP
posed to a protective system" This. says
Major SINCERELY. should have been clearly
and courngcously set forth In the resolu-
lions. 1t would have been better to have
muddled everything else"

In the Conventions endorsement OF GRO

Tho Truth About the London County
Election.

Such different views have been taken OF
the recent London County Council election.
the Liberals emphasizing its significance
and tho Conservatives belittling 1t. that the
actual figures have been awaited with much
interest. We now have them tabulated In
various suggestive ways. and compared
with those OF the last parliamentary cleo
lions. by Prof JAMES STUART. the editor OF
the London Star and Radical member Of
Parliament.
It IL not true that tho Moderates. which
is tho local name for the Conservatives,
have much smaller representation In tho
present County Council than they had in
the last. merely for the reason that they
took no interest In the election. This Is
clear from comparison Of tho returns in
1892 and 1880. In the last-nnmed year "a, ass
Tory voters went to the ballot box. whereas
this year tho number was lO9.lG9 or 14.7l4
greater. II only the same number Of
Progressives or Liberals had voted this
year as In 1880 the Tories would have
beaten them by nearly 5000 votes. But this
year tho number OF Liberal voters was
85.59s larger than it was three years ago
Still another noteworthy reduction Is made
from the returns. Tho percentage OF the
registered voters who went to the ballot
box In 1889 was only about AZ per cent:
whereas this year 1t was nealry 81 per cent.
Now for q comparison of the late London
county election with the parliamentary
elections Of 1886 and 1885. or the IS London
constituencies. 4S were contested In both
1892 and 1886. and in no fewer than 81 OF
these the highest Liberal vote was greater
this year than 1t was six years ago. In 20
OF these constituencies the highest Liberal
or Progressive candidate polled in 1892 not
only more votes than the Gladstonian can
didate In 1886. but more than did the Liberal
nominee In 1885. when the Liberal party
was undivided. Finally. In ten constitu-
encies at present represented In Parliament
by Tories. the Liberals or Progrcssives of
1892 got more votes than did tho Tories In
1885. 1t Is manlfestly reasonable to expect
that the Liberals at the next parliamentary
election will at least win these ten seats.
1t ID true that tho constituencies OF 1892
and 1886 are not Identical. The plural vote.
Tor instance Is permitted to certain ex-
tent in the parliamentary election, and pro-
hibited in the County Council election.
Then the parliamentary register contains
dodgers and those voting on the so-called
"service franchise" whereas the County
Council register omits these. and contains
instead women and peers. Assssasds asm-

Tho Moral Aspects OF MIR. Godkin's
RANSOM

In treating OF his attempted bribery OF
an officer OF tho New York police force Mr.
E. L. GoDK1N affects POPULARITY. His hu.
norous Wow OF the transaction Is that the
Switch he feloniously offered to tho po-
liceman. and which the honest policeman
refused to accept. was OF the nature OF a
ransom" not a bride.
This distinction may be comforting to
Mr.. GoDK1Ns self-estecm. and it may serve
to amuse such readers Of the Erenin0 Post
as share his cynical ideas concerning the
relations ofindividuals to the public servant.
Nevertheless. it should not have much
weight in the District Attorneys Office in
the Grand Jury room. or in court when
Mr.. GoDKIN is arraigned for trial under
section rs Of the Penal Code.
The bride offered to the policeman by Mr..
GoDK1N was not large, but he supposed 1t
was large enough to effect his purpose.
which was the corruption OF sworn Of
flcer Of the law. The fact that the bride
did not accomplish the briber's design is
due solely to the personal integrity OF the
policeman. II Mr.. Z. L. GoDKIN did not
stand ashamed before that honest officer it
is because there Is no shame in him.
Morally. as we'll as legally. Mr.. GoDKE's
offence is precisely the same as If he had
succeeded in his attempt to bride the
policeman. 1t Is a Himsy and flippant
euphemism with which he now tries to
shelter his self-esteem. and to create in the
minds OF the readers Of his hypocritical
newspaper the false impression that in
some way his case OF bribery differs from
the ordinary and vulgar bribery for which
the Penal Code provides so severe punish
ment. Probably no briber. booder. cor
rupter Of justice. or purchaser OF legislation
ever to his own mind describes his offence
fatty as bribery. He finds some excuse.
satisfactory to himself. for the felony, and
some less unpleasant name for tho trans
action. Honorarium. fee. consideration.
present douceur. testimonial. and various
other nouns have Mt times been put to this
use. Ransom is the word which Mr.. E. L.
GoDKIN prefers.
Toall right-thinking citizens, especially
to those who have followed Mr.. GoDKIN's
loud and pretentious denunciations in gen.
eral OF this very same crime against So
ciety. social order. and good government.
these remarks will appear as truisms. They
gain force. however. by their application to
specific and established case.
