THE STRENGTH OF THE MACHINE.

The assertion of Tammany man that
the anti-Hill movement in New York does
not amount to anything because the Demo-
Gratis concerned in it will not bolt the
ticket, is quoted by the Philadelphia Press
with some comments ON the futility of
Democratic opposition to politicians of the
Hill stamp when it does not go to the
length of boiling. The remark is an
illustration of the reliance of machine
politicians on party fealty, and the COM
ment on it applies equally to both parties.
1t is true that the strength of politicians
of the Hill stamp on both sides of the
political fence lies in the general respect
paid to the fetish of party loyalty. "We
are all right if we get the nomination by
whatever methods of thimble-rigging, is
the open or secret belief of the profess
sional politicians; "the.respectable voters
may grumble, but they will not bolt"
While this faith sometimes proves mis-
placed, there are cases which give it
good deal of foundation. The esteemed
Philadelphia Press itself has furnished
very eminent example of the sort by its
political course in the past two years.
Yet the avowal that Hill is all right be-
cause the Democrats who are in favor of
respectable politics will not bolt, should
show their true course to men who are in
earnest The moment that the respecta-
bic element in either party demonstrates
that it will bolt, that moment the machine
politician has got to alter his course.
There is no issue in this country more I'M
portant than honest Political methods; and
the way to enforce it is for men who wish
honorable party government, to prepare
themselves to bolt any candidate who rep
resents the opposite course.

THE Presidential bee has been buzzine
around lately in good many bonnets whose
owners express a willingness to become
dark horses at the Minneapolis convention.
The latest aspirant to White House emolu-
ments is Senator Blair. He intends that his
possible supporters shall not be kept in sus-
pense, and has written a letter in which he
says he will deeply appreciate the honor of
any support that may be given him. If his
his hopes refuse to materialize he may
possibly find comfort in the fact that he is
not the only one whose boomlet failed of its
purpose at the critical moment.

serve to maintain the silver certificates at
par with gold, there is a good deal of
ment of current obligations IS an obvious
necessity, and if the Secretary resorts to
silver payments for that purpose, and then
redeems the silver with gold, he will have
arrived at the practical result of paying
current obligations out of the gold reserve.
The only real meaning of. the later deliver
ance is that the Secretary thereby per-
forms the operation of swallowing the
earlier announcement
Having thus taken back his indiscreet
declarations of last year, made for politi-
cal effect, it is satisfactory to hope that
Secretary Foster will be wiser for the rest
Of his term.

THE decision of the New York Supreme

THE decision of the New York Supreme
Court in that contempt case with regardte
the Dutchess county election returns con-
talns some interesting reading on the SUBJ
Ject OF government by law. The County
Clerk is discharged because he was not
guilty Of contempt. as he obeyed the order
OF Court in transmitting the return S; but "by
action of the Governor, the Secretary of
State, and the counsel of the Controller the
returns were taken from the several public
offices where they had been properly re-
ceived." This judicial record Of the manner
in which elections are stolen, by an aspirant
to the Presidency, furnishes its own com.
mentary on our politics.

OUR friends of the Signal Service have
done well in some Of their predictions
lately; but the weather at the close of the
week has been confusing, to say the least.
After abandoning its cold wave prediction,
which it had induiged in for nearly two
days, it foreshadowed yesterday afternoon
stationary temperature, with rain or snow"
The temperature having ranged from a to
49, the phenomena of snow at that tempera-
ture would have been extremely surprising.
Uncle JerrY's Republican weather bureau
will have to get into better working order
than this before the Presidential campaign.

RIVALS NUMIDIAN MARBLE.
Valuable Deposits Said to Have Been
Found in Virginia.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2o.-Prof. Francis R.
Fava, son of Baron Fava, late italian Minis
ter to the United States, declares that
quarry of marble has been discovered in
Virginia rivaling the famous Numidian mar
BILE which is dug out of deposits in Africa at
great cost of time and labor.
"The Numidian marbles" Prof. Fava says,
"are the finest in the world, and are con-
trolled by Belgian company that has an
enormous capital and defies competition.
Search has been made everywhere on the
globe for another deposit, but it seems with
little succesG until the discovery was re-
Gently made in Virginia. cannot give the
location of the quarry at this time, but
will say that was greatly surprised at u.s.
certaining that the marbles are found at the
same altitude and are deposited under the
same geological conditions as those in
Africa"
Prof, Fava is an expert geoIogist, and his
has aroused great deal of inter-

THERE is good reason to hope that the
imported typus is under control wherever it
has appeared. As a protection for the
future, however, an example should be
made OF the steamship surgeon who con-
cealed the presence on his vessel of a dan
gerous contagious disease. Surgeons who
do that should be given to understand by
the health authorities of our ports that their
certificates for the future will have the
value of so much waste paper
