The World has now for some time been
engaged in printing series Of articles. OF
which the seeming purpose Is to destroy the
Elmira Reformatory. They are OF the Inn
passioned and fervent quality OF that pro-
test which Issues from the vicious and de-
PRAYED Immediately after an administra-
ton Of the cato '-nine-tails. They breathe
a violent malgnity. an insane thirst for
revenge, or blackmail. or both: and in the
Worlds columns they are wholly natural
and familiar.
We are glad to see that the bearing OF
Superintendent BRocKwAY Of the Reforma-
tory. under this style OF attack. Is just
what might DO looked for In faithful and
dignified public servant. conscious OF his
rectitude and indifferent to irresponsible
assault. We presume that he has treated
inmates OF the Reformatory with wise
severity. Had he not done this. the instltu-
ton could never have achieved the excel
lent results with which it is credited. He
is not likely now to yield to any concerted
reprisals on the part Of his unregenerate
graduates, or their anonymous partners
in PUL1TzER's academy Of crime.

The financial question Is to be taken up
In the Mexican Congress at ths time OF Its
opening. ten days hence. There must be
legislation for the relief Of the Treasury, for
instituting certain changes in the country's
silver policy. for the adjustment OF the foreign
debt for the better administration OF the tariff
laws and for furnishing the means needed In
the construction OF public works. Several of
the topics that are before the American Con-
gress will be brought before the Mexican Con-
gress. There are at least two flnanciers of
marked ability In the Mexican Govern
ment. President DIAz and the Secretary
OF the Treasury; and there are several
members OF Congress well versed In
questions OF finance. We have not any
doubt that the Admin 'stIation. which is all
powerful In Congress. will pursue course of
prudence and conservatism. and will stand
faithful to its obligations while unfolding the
public credit For four years past the reye-
nues OF the Government have exceeded Its ex-
psnditures. and 1t Is only In the year which
ended with last June that there has been any
stringency in the Treasury since 1889. The
economies recently enforced are OF an extra
ordinary kind. but tho Liberal party, or rather
the whole population. have united In giving
effect to them. The expense that bears hard
est upon the country 10 that which Is incurred
for tho support OF the army. and there In good
reason to believe that the military eKDendi-
turss will be reduced BIZ Congress.

Tho Sherman Law and tho Tariff.

For whatever Of the present commercial
and Industrial depression Is due to prepara-
ton for revolution OF the economic policy
OF tho United States. the people of the
United States arc responsible. Upon due
elaboration and resolve. they favored that
revolution and intrusted to the Democratic
party the work Of bringing 1t about. They
must have foreseen that 1t could not be &C
complished without some hesitation Of cap
itsl, some displacement OF labor. the stress
and confusion incident to the destruction OF
the old system and tho adjustment OF the
new one. They weighed the losses and the
gains, and decided that the gains exceeded
the losses; and they expect that the DEM
ocratio party will 60 straight on. without
indecision or undue delay, to root out pro-
lection. and build tariff for revenue only.
Nobody can estimate with any hope Of
accuracy the proportion. small or great, OF
tariff scare to silver scare; but the effect OF
the latter Is considered by the great ma
jority Of observers to be very much greater
than that Of the former. Yet. were the re-
verse the case, the Democratic party would
have no reason for alarm. for it must carry
out the Irresistible will Of the people.
The same irresistible will decided that the
cowardly makeshift called the SHERMAN
act should be repealed. The SHERMAN act
has caused and is causing disaster. This
disaster the Democratic party must check.
Whatever loss comes from overthrowing
the tariff has been justified in advance by
the people. The loss caused by the SHEER
MAN law has no such guarantee. The peo-
pie have ordered that that loss shall stop.
The Democratic party will disobey the Or
der at its peril.
