The Isolation of MIR. John II. starin.

Mr.. JOHN H. srARrS's plight Is very much
more unfortunate than we had ventured to
depict 1t when we suggested to Mayor Gill
ROY the expediency OF demanding his reslg-
nation from the Rapid Transit Commits
sion. We proposed that his colleagues
should not be exposed to the penalty
Of further service with him. but we
did not anticipate that that was a
matter which they would settle for them
selves. They have done 30. however. and
in manner which in the light OF Mr.
STARIN's recent conduct puts that gentle
man In most unfavorable aspect The
four Commissioners. Chairman STENwAY.
and Messrs. INMAN. SPENCER and BUsHE.
have sent in their designations to Mayor
GILRoY. and Mr.. STARIN is left to flock all
alone by himself"
We hope that this isolated Commissioner
will now take his departure from the scene
with what grace he may: conscious that
nothing can ever more become him than
the expedition Of his taking of. He can
console himself with the reflection that In
the memory Of this town no one in q like
place OF trust ever distinguished himself by
an equal display OF truculent perversity
and obstinate contempt Of his duty to the
public

| The political significance OF the appoint

that he is a Democrat. AS the Hon. THOMAS

zation to distract. harass. and embarrass
those OF his party associates who did not
happen to agree with his notions OF party
policy. He has always been Democrat:
never q Mugwump guerrilla. Conclusive
and cheering evidence OF this was fur
nished o little more than year ago
when he was appealed to. to assist In
movement intended to impair the integrity
Of the regular Democracy OF this State.
To the Chairman Of the meeting. called on
Feb. II. 1892, for the purpose. he wrote.

National Convention. and which gave such
a splendid account OF itself In November.
when Mr. CLEVELAND carried New York by

ROSWELL P. FLOWER received for Governor
the year previous.
Toward man with Democratic pedl-
gree as sound as this. all Democrats are
naturally attracted. They are glad to see

to see party regularity thus acknowledged

breach OF faith. pending or possible. be-
tween the principals Of the Victoria Hotel
compact. which resulted in 80 much glory

There is no Mugwumpery in such nomi-

DAYTON. No avoidance Of political agree

from or into the Democratic camp: cold
comfort for Republicans and malcontents.
Democracy forever!

treated az outlaws. They are subjugated,
and the call to arms which Dr. BRIGGS has
Issued to his followers is vain. The
Presbyterian Church has no reason TO
be afraid Of band which has shown itself
30 bold In threatening and so timid In exc
cution. They have not the moral courage
requisite for leadership. They can never DO
a strong and an aggressive force. for they
dare not go forward uniilnchingly to
the conclusions from their premises. DR..
BRIGGS himself Is frightened ut the image
made by his own hands. He resorts to all
sorts OF legal and rhetorical devices to ut
the cloak OF orthodoxy to his heterodoxy;
to give To his infldelity the outward appear
ance Of faith.
Such man and such party deserve no
respect. They are pusillanimous, Time
serving. creatures OF duplicity, AMI cow
ards They cry out for logical method OF
Biblical criticism. yet they dare not pursue
IL logically. They are not servants OF the
truth, as they profess to be. but the slaves
of expediency. They are not OF tho stun
out OF which are made the leaders OF great
movements for the intellectual emancipa-
ton OF men. The results OF their method
Of examining Scripture are theooglcally
revolutionary. but when the noise OF the
revolution resounds. they conclude TO sub
init and put of fighting until another day.
The General Assembly showed a true esti-
mate OF their moral quality In proceeding on
the assumption that their obstreperous re-
bellion would be subdued by the mere chas-
tisement OF their leader. Think OF q man In
the position Of DR.. BRIGGS. who stops now
to urge the technical points that his convic-
ton ia not legal because there should be no
appeal by public prosecutor against YER
dict OF acquittal," and because " Presby-
terry cannot appoints committee OF prose-
cution which will be Independent of the
Presbytery"! Think Of his stopping to en-
ter demurrer In a case whose meritsinvolve
the broad question Of the authority and
authenticity OF the Bible. That sort OF man
will never head great revolution. though
he might be good technical lawyer to be
retained for the defence OF either side. 1t
looks now very much as II the Presbyterian
Church had effectually squelched DIR. BRIGGS
for all practical purposes.

Tea, Coffee. and Sugar.

A valued correspondent. who resides In
New Jersey. propounds to us the subjoined
interesting questions:
do understand you to advocate . duty on tea
coffee and sugari Is this the scheme by which
working people to be bsnentedf VIII you please

in year. whom the tarin is taken Oh foreign manu-
featured goods and corresponding duty placed on
tea coffee. and sugari "a WORKMAN"
No: we do not advocate duty on tea.
coffee, and sugar. The time for advocacy
and argument respecting that question has
gone by. When the platform Of the Ma
tional Democratic Convention at Chicago
was approved by the people. and by the
tremendous majorities OF November last.
the debate was settled and judgment was
pronounced. The decree that all protec-
ton must be wiped out. and that tariff
for revenue only must be enacted, settled
tho question: and q tax upon tea. coffee.
and sugar became as necessary as tax
upon wool and iron.
Our correspondent Is o nottingham. and
We tell him that while he may not be d.
rectly benefited by the economic and finan-
cial revolution involved In the abolition OF
protection. yet his indirect benefit will far
surpass every temporary Inconvenience
which he may be called upon to endure; or
else the theory of tariff reform. and of tariff
for revenue only. is mistaken. That can
be determined only by experiment. The
two political parties have been discussing
the subject. the one contending for pro-
lection and the other for tariff for reve-
nue. only, during these many years; and
tho election Of last November decided that
the experiment must be tried. We insist
that 1t shall be tried fully. honestly. with
out hypocrisy. without false pretence. and
without evasion. That Is the only thing
We are now advocating. namely. the I'M
qualified execution Of the Democratic I'M
dertaking. and the peoples decree, ex-
pressed In the platform and the election.
As for the question how much the aver
age workingman will save In year un.
der tho new system, that IL q problem
which we are entirely unable to solve.
We decline to 60 into that subject until
after the experiment has been tried fully
for sufficient length Of time. Besides. II
we should endeavor to answer 1t. the dis
putants on the other side would not admit
the correctness OF the answer. and thus our
effort might be useless. But We are hearth
ly glad that this question has passed be-
yond the period Of dispute. and is at last
to be determined by actual experience and
by incontrovertible facts.
