way franchises made in secrecy and under
circumstances involving an unjust discrimna-
ton against competing bidder and a PROB
able financial loss to the city. The Grand jury
desired to indct the Mayor and the Aldermen
concerned in this transaction, but were pre-
vented by the District Attorneys interpreta-
ton of the law. They did what they could
They united in a presentment severely cens'lr-
inc the Mayor and the Aldermen and cX-
pressing their regret that they could not indct
them. The prcscntment was operative only
morally. No official could be brought to trial
under it. 1t was an expression of yirtuCus IN
dienation which did not involve legal penal
tics but it tended to disturb the pachy dcrms
in Office in brooklyn. They looked about in
sheer desperation for some effective way OF
discrcditing the Grand Jury which had pre-
sumcd to ccnsurc when not allowed to indct
The method was an extraordinary one. 1t
was an appeal by the Mayor to the Court of
Sessions to be placed in possession of the cvl-
dence upon which that presentment had been
made In support of this application his cOlln-
sci argued in effect that there was no founda-
ton for the prcscntment, which was either
based on pcrjurcd testimony given by some
witness under oath or else was made without
any evidence whatever. The Court, instead
of denying the application outright as an in
vasion of the established rights of Grand Jurors
and the witnesses giving confidential testimony
to them under guarantees OF protection and
secrecy, apparently justified the unusual pro-
cedurc and took the matter under considera
ton. We desire to speak with moderation,

attempt has been made to dscrcdit public
spirited Grand Jury, which had the courage to
tell the truth about the misconduct OF the
Mayor and the Aldermen. The proceeding is
something more. II is discreditable and dan
gerous method of intimldating future Grand
.Jurics and the witnesses who may appear be-
fore them.
We would ask Mayor Body what right he
has, in law or i'll morals, to characterize rs
perjury" secret testimony which he has not
seen, and which he is striving to unearth In
defiance of the traditions and established prn-
ciplcs of modern law. We would also call
upon him to justify his conduct in declaring
that the presentmcnt was made without evil
dence or on false evidence, when he has not
yet seen one line of the testimony upon which
the Grand Jury based their Judgment. 1t is a
bold game which Ring and Gang and their
ornamental iigurchcad closely in touch with
them are playing in Brooklyn. Grand Jures
are the strongest bulwarks which the genius
of modern law has established for the protec-
ton of citizens. Mayor Body, stung by we'll
mcritcd criticism of his conduct, is striving to
undermine and destroy the most trustworthy
safeguard Of good government. He may not
be doing this deliberately, but that is the eff
feet of it.

AMENDING TIE STATE CONSTITUTION.

Il
A letter from our Albany correspondent
which was printed few days ago directed at
tention to matter which will lend special
interest and importance to the fall elections
in this State. We refer to the selection of
delegates to the convention of 1894 which is
to revise the Constitution. 1t needs no argu-
ment to demonstrate that it is most desirable
that the membership of this body should be
truly representative of the intelligence and the
public spirit of New ork. The duty of amend
ing the organic law of a great Commonwealth
should be intrusted only to citizens who COM
mand the general confidence, not only because
of their ability and knowledge of public affairs.
but also because of their integrity. Both DO
ltical parties should see TO it that their NOM
inees for the convention are men of high char
acter a weak, inefficient convention would
mean an unsatisfactory revision, which the
people would be pretty certain to reject when
it came before them for their decision. Such
advice ought to be unnecessary. But expert
ence proves that too often representatives do
not represent what is best and most progress
sive do not represent the great forces which
made and which preserve the State.
There is no place for partisan politics in
such convention. But the law providing for
the convention confessedly was framed in the
interest of the Democracy. 1t is incumbent
upon Republicans, therefore, to bcstir them
selves, unless they are willing to allow the
Democrats largely to preponderate in the con-
ycntion. AS was pointed out in the letter re-
ferred to, the rule governing the election of

TIE TRIBUNE grieves to note the reports
which come from Washington with increasing
frequency and strength that Mr.. Springer has
small chance of occupying in the next Con
gress the proud place which he filed in the
last There seems to be no doubt that the
Administration wants some one else at the
head of the Ways and Means Committee, but
while Mr.. Cleveland prefers Mr.. Wilson, Sec
rotary Carlisle thinks Mr.. McMillin is the best
equipped man. Whether the President or the
Secretary will prevail remains to be seen.
Meantime our sympathies 90 out in large meas
ure to Mr.. Springer, of Illinois. But though
he may be Inundated, they reckon i'll who
think to put him in the background and keep
him there. Mr. Springer is not that kind Of
man.

our government cannot afford to depreci-
ate by its own act large part of its own
| money!
The repeal of the Sherman act, in the
| opinion of the writer, without further
| legislation which shall considerably in
| crease the coinage of our silver dollar, or
| some other equivalent measure, will in
| tenslfy the panic, and Eastern investors
IN Western securities will take their turn
IN tremendously long procession of
mourners, for whom carriages cannot be
provided. am painfully conscious that
am writing on the here unpopular side
OF this question.
But the next Presidential campaign
Will be an educational one, with hitherto
overlooked facts for schoolmasters
Indeed the last one was on this very
subject, and should be well needed by
the Republican party. The intellectual
obliquity which elected an anti-silver
President, largely by mistaken free coin
age voters, discloses the Democratic be-
wilderment on this subject.
The United States had coined up to
1891, of gold, principally mined in our
own country since 1849, 1881, 900, 915,
The entire gold coinage Of the world is
estimated as little less than $4,000, 0O0,-
oo0. This is 1873 per cent of the worlds
gold money. Taking this fact, together
with our other vast resources, into ac-
count, how great is the timidity which
doubts the ability of our government
and people to command all the gold
needed, and when needed.
OF our gold coinage we have used
abroad 81 LOCO, 900, 900 to enrich our coun-
try with railroads, factories and farms.
Since we began to coin the Bland dol
lar fifteen years ago, there has not been
time when a gold eagle would buy
more than ten silver dollars, and because
1T would not. and because gold enough
to make an eagle could not be sold
abroad or in our own country for more.
our owners of gold bullion have taken it
to the minis Of the United States and
had it coined on par with our silver
dollar.
This coinage has been as much as
5000 600 in 1881, down to $40, O0O, 900
in 1890. If the gold bullion had been in
fact worth more as bullion than coin, not
dollar of it would have gone to the
mint.
This fact alone shows the value of our
silver dollar, and the wisdom of the law
under whose provisions it is coined, and
the 1mpossibility of driving out of circu-
lation the gold coin of the country by
the continued coinage of the silver dol
lar.
Having learned by a ripe experience
under the Bland-Allison act it's wisdom,
ana that it will forever maintain our sill
yer dollar at parity with the gold coin,
It's restoration, with one amendment,
would seem to be what the present very
great exigency requires.
Ii Congress will restore the Bland
Allison law, and provide for the coinage
OF $4,000, 900 per month, or $1,000, 600
even, it will soon be apparent that our
continental country with its more than
continental business can stand against
the world on the silver question as well
as the gold! This is susceptible of the
clearest demonstrate n if required.

1t isseldom happily that the newspaper
records a disaster so horrible as that
which happened at the Worlds Fair by
the burning of the cold storage building.
AS rule violent deaths come suddenly
and the agony of mind is momentary.
But the doomed men on the burning
cupoia stood for minutes fully conscious
that most horrible fate awaited them
and that nothing which they or others
could do would avail anything to avert
or delay it. Nobody can adequately con-
ceive of the agony of those moments to
the doomed men or the horror of the
spectators powerless to help as thew saw
them fall back into the fiery furnace or
jump to terrible mutilation and death IN
the roof far below. Doubtless soma
body was guilty of inexcusable negli-
gence in permitting the firemenlto ascend
the cupola without first making sure
that there was no fire beneath them.
Some one is culpable too for the omis-
sion of nets from the equipment of the
fire department. Had nets been at hand
undoubtedly the lives of most of the men
might have been saved. But the most
culpable of all were the parties who al
lowed such fire trap to be built.
