The Tariff and tho Textile Mills.

The trade paper in Boston called the Ten
tile World makes every six months a care
full survey Of the cotton. woollen. knitting.
and kindred American factories. Its re-
ports and tables concerning the condition
Of these branches OF manufacturing indus
try. are justly recognized rs authoritative;
for the purpose Of the Textile World in it's
semi-annual censuses Is to ascertain the
facts, and not to bolster up or to discredit
any particular theory OF economics.
The continued prosperity or decline Of
American textile industries Is indicated
with an approach to accuracy by the fig
ures showing the number Of new mills es-
tablished In the several departments Of
manufacture. A year ago we commented
upon the very encouraging exhibit and the
tables Of our Boston contemporary for the
first six months Of 1892 were referred to by
Gen. HARRISON, in his final message to
Congress last December, as good evidence
OF the general prosperity OF the country.
This years showing is not SO good. The
rate Of increase Is considerably smaller
In every department except the knitting
mills. where the growth is almost wholly
in New York and Pennsylvania; New York
for knit underwear. Pennsylvania for hosi-
cry. The following table shows the num-
Der OF new mills established. North and
South. In the first half Of 1898 as compared

Tho overthrow Of President SAoAzA has
not brought peace to the republic OF Near
aqua. When the provisional Government
was established. few weeks ago. the
hope that all serious difficulties were
settled was such that the Atlanta was
called north from Greytown. and the ALI
ance despatched from Corinto to Callao.
sAoAzA had made way for SALVADOR MA
cHApo and departed for the United States;
and the war was supposed to be over.
But In the northwest. notably in Loon.
those who refused to recognize the new Gov
eminent banded together. resolved to carry
on the struggle. and the other day Minister
BAKER informed Secretary GRESHAM that
both the new President OF Nicaragua
and his Minister OF Foreign Affairs
were held as prisoners in Leon. The rsvo-
lutionists. as the opponents Of the new Gov
eminent in their turn are called, have. in
fact. collected an army. have seized Co.
rlnto, and are marching upon Esteli.
with the chance also OF attacking
Matagalpa. Meanwhile. new Presi-
dent. or. rather q temporary Dictator

been selected in the person Of JOAQUIN
ZAvALA. himself an ex-President. and one
of the ablest and best known men in the
republic. He has already assumed CONTROL
and is taking measures to put down tho
revolutionists. who. on their part, have
been reinforced by ZEIAYA and many
members OF the Liberal party.
Secretary HERBERT has taken the pre-
caution to order the Alliance back from |
Callao to Corinto; but there is little ground |
Tor supposiDg that American interests are |
In jeopardy there. Leon is at the north

neyings. and the holy war against railroads.

vent his revealing in the luxuries OF parlor

tions OF censorlous and doubtless mistaken
critics. who aver that the railroad compa-
MES send him through d. II. Perhaps this
story is due to the fact that during his visit
to st. Paul he was the guest Of that clever
railroad plutocrat. Mr.. JAMES ]. HILL. Yet
surely one may hate railroads and dine with
railroad Presidents. hate the sin but love

Tho Mayor Of BROOKLYN.

We do not understand that the decision
OF Judge MOORE to furnish the Mayor OF
Brooklyn with copy Of the minutes of the
Grand Jury which recently made present.
ment rejecting unfavorably upon the Of
fetal conduct of Mr.. Body. is to be re-
garded as abrogating tho general rule
which requires the proceedings before q
Grand Jury to be kept secret. II it were
intended to have any such effect, 1t would
constitute an unfortunate and objectiona-
bic precedent indeed.
The case. however, appears to be most
exceptional In Its character. The Kings
county Grand Jury investigated the con-
duct of the Mayor and Aldermen Of the city
OF Brooklyn with reference to the granting
OF certain railroad franchises. They did
not find an indictment against the Mayor,
but they presented to the Court paper in
which they said in substance that there
was evidence enough laid before them to
Justify them in indicting him. II they had
not been advised by the District Attorney
that tho law would not permit them to do SO.
This was certainly q very unusual method
OF procedure, unprecedented. 30 far as we
can recall. in the history of the courts of
the State OF New York. By their so-called
presentment. the Grand Jury declared that
In their Judgment there was q prima facie
case OF criminal guilt against the Mayor.
They proclaimed this fact to the world. and
loft him absolutely without any redress IL
they were wrong in their judgment; unless
hocou!d lay before the public the evidence
on which this attack upon his character
was based.
Under the circumstances, therefore. II
was only natural. II he was conscious of be-
ing innocent. that he should apply to the
Court OF Sessions to have the testimony
before the Grand Jury made known to the
world and II 1t was right for the Court to re-
ceive such presentment and place it on
ME among the records, We do not see how
the same Court could justly refuse informa-
tion to the person most concerned and In
5ured by that presentment. as To ths specific
proofs upon which 1t was founded.
There is venerable and distinguished
resident OF Kings county. commonly known
rs the First Citizen OF Brooklyn We mean
Mr.. JAMES s. 4. STRANAHAN. He formerly
had great deal to do with the public af-
fairs of tho municipality. Suppose Grand
Jury shoult come into court and present a
paper stating that they had investigated
some act OF his. and would have found
an indictment against him II they had not
been advised by the District Attorney
that they could not properly do so under
the law. Would not any one say that Mr..
BTRASAHAN was entitled. as matter OF fair
Dealing. II not of legal right. either to have
such presentment expunged from the
records OF the court. or else to be made
acquainted with the testimony upon which |
1t was based?
We use this illustration merely to show |
that 1t is opening very wide acld II Grand
Suries are 10 BIO allowed to place on record. !

whom they might have indicted. but had
concluded that they would not indlct.
As to Mayor BooDY. we are quite con-
WINGED that he has been subjected to a de-
gree OF criticism and condemnation which
is unduly severe. He made mistake. we
think, In approving the bills for the Column
bian celebration. which appear to have been
incurred without authority OF law and were
clearly and outrageously extravagant.
He appears. however. to have acted
upon the advice Of the Law Department
OF the city of Brooklyn as to the le-
gality OF the expenditures. and to have
supposed that his part In the approval
OF the bills was merely formal after they
had been audited by other municipal OFF,
GERS. In reference to the granting OF rail-
road franchises. we nre by no means sure
he has done wisely, but he claims TO have
been actuated solely by what in his view
would promote the financial interests OF
the city and the welfare OF the COM
munity. We have talked lately with
number OF persons who have known the
present Mayor Of Brooklyn for many
years In his private and business life.
They have been persons who belong some
to one party and some to another. and
many OF them are strongly opposed to
the Democratic organization which now
holds sway In Kings county. Their testi-
mony has been all one way as to the per-
sonal honesty Of the Mayor and his recti-
tude OF purpose: and they have oil agreed
In substance to the proposition which one
OF them put In 30 many words yester- |
day. that there Is not a dishonest hair in |
DAVID A. BooDY's head. |

Various conclusions may be drawn from
the undoubted fact that there Is some slow

dustries as whole. The general financial
condition and lack OF confidence may ex-
plain the circumstance in great part. The
advocates OF high protection and elaborate
discrimination in favor of American fabrics
may attribute the check in O considerable
degree to the conviction on the part Of
manufactures and capital that the protec-
tive policy is to be abandoned On the
other hand. free traders may assert without
fear Of successful contradiction that these
branches OF industry are merely settling
down to normal condition after O period
OF artificial. unhealthy. and unconstitu-
tional stimulus.
1t makes little difference which view Is
taken. The point to be borne constantly
In mind Is that even should the present
partial arrest Of development broaden into
widespread disaster as the consequence Of
a change Of tariff policy. such result would
not affect the duty Of Congress In its ap-
plication OF the doctrine that all protective
customs taxes are unconstitutional. II
they are unconstitutional. Congress cannot
continue to impose and collect them, no
matter whether Industries decay. looms

AS matter Of fact. however. there would

eign-made goods coming into competition

difference would be that tho new duties
would BIO levied without the slightest re-
gard to the real or supposed needs OF the
respective industries. and solely with a
view to producing revenue for the expenses
OF the Government. economically admins

and ono horizontal ad valorem rate. say OF

most impartial solution Of the problem.
