ought not TO pass. How could any intelligent
and loyal citizen listen patiently TO the cnuncia-
ton in the Senate of the United States of such
n theory Of popular government!
But this was not Senator Buffers most ma
grant provocation to contemptuous treatment
by spectators. His revolutionary doctrine about
the rights and powers OF the majority was ex-
messed in decent language but the passage In
which he described the cooperation OF political
antagonists reeks with filthy and insulting sug-
POSITIONS. If there had been Kissing instead OF
laughter In the galleries the demonstration
would have been out Of order. but the effect
would have been wholesome. The Senator from
Soutb Carolina is understood to pride himself
upon the loss Of leg In the confederate ser
vice. 1t is a pity that he did not lose his
tongue instead.

THE DEMOCRATIC SURRENDER.

When the Democratic Steering Committee
served notice on the President that he must
either accept their compromise or fight his
party, il was the natural impression that h'e
would construc a promise to repeal two years
hence as unconditional repeal But he mas re-
Trained from giving definite assurance OF DIS
purpose and the situation at Washington Is
more cloudy. He refuses TO relieve the Sen
ators from any share Of their responsibility, dis
patches state and it is easy to understand mat
their troubles are not lcssencd by his attltli ie
Dispat ches also leave it doubtful what precise
form of bill the Steering Committee propos cs
Some hold that it will provide for coming the
secnoraee. so-called, and also all the silver
that nav be hereafter purchased, and If his
is so. it will undoubtedly affect the decision OF
the Republicans.
The party in power at Washington docs not
seem to be paying the slightest attention 10 the
effect of its action on the trade and industries
of the country. Not far from million wori'crs
are at this hour seeking work in vain. Inc
Democratic party has taken great pains 10 tel
lis that all this disturbance was due to the pur-
chases of silver bullion under the act OF lS9o
If that is true, it is cruel and unjust beyond
calculation to refuse for one or two years 10
come the repeal of the silverpurchasing clause
II is strange. too. that nobody seems To con-
slider at this juncture that the Democratic party
obained power by making certain solemn
pledges i'm its National platform. If 1t mas Deen
honest in stating the causes OF disaster. II IL
was honest in promising the repeal Of the Sher-
man act. what excuse can be made for post
poninr for two years the needed and formally
promised relief?
Apparcntly the President intends to cast
upon Democratic Senator's the burden " an
swering this and other difficult questions. They
propose a so.callcd compromise. which Is IN
reality nothing but an agreement to let the
much-vilifcd Sherman act remain In force uh'ii
after another election. 1t Is not rem; rkablc
that the President prefers. II a performance so
extraordinary Is 10 be the only thing Demo
Gratis can do. to let his party friends take the
entire responsibility of it upon Themselves.
Meanwhile what are. the people going to do:
Their interests are at stake. If Democrats tel
the truth. the people cannot expect prpspcri'!
for merchants. solvency for employers. or wages
for workngmen, until this Sherman act has
been repealed Why Is 1t that a Congress.
Democratic in both branches urged by a Dem
ocratic President. does not repeal II al once:
Do Democratic tricksters suppose that the pco-
pie will do nothing and say nothing while their
business interests and their very livcl hood are

for their own welfare they may conclude to

responsibility again to the party which mas

TIE BARG1IN COMPLEIED.

The nomination Of Mr.. ]. ]. Van Allen as Am
bassador TO Italy was confirmed yesterday by
the Senate. The only satisfaction to be derived
from this final ratification Of a shameful COM
pact is afforded by the opposition which IT
encountered and the mcagre majority vote by
which it was accomplished. We expressed our
opinion clearly while the nomination was pend
ing as to the duty Of the President to withdraw
it, and the obligation Of the Senate TO reject 1t
in case Mr.. Cleveland refused TO repair the
wrong Now that the transaction has been
completed. ii is necessary to add that every
Senator who consented TO he a party to the
purchase and sale Of a great Office violated his
own honor.
That Mr.. Van Allen. while entirely undcscrving
of the attacks which have been coarsely made
upon his habits and associations. has never
shown that he was fitted for the post which
he bought is comparatively unimportant mat
ter The gravity of the offence which MIR.
Cleveland committed, and which the Senate
now shares. is neither increased nor dmn-
shcd by the general character and reputation
of the appointec. The personal disgrace and
the public shame which this affair involves
come from the demonstrated fact that the Pres
idcnt was willing to abide by and able to COM
plctc an immoral contract made in his own In
terest aud that Of his party.

Columbia College and four excellent bcnevo-
lent and phanthropic societies in this city are
in fair way TO profit largely by the requests
OF the late Charles b. Beck. whose Will was
filed with the Surrogate yesterday. These four
bcneficiaries are the Presbyterian Board OF
Home Missions, the Presbyterian Hospital. the
Society for the Prevention Of Crime and the
New-York Hospital. The exact amount OF the
estate has not been determined. but II Is be-
lieved that the five residuary legatccs Will re-
ceive total of $3.5OO,OOO to be divided equally
among them. Columbia receives specific be-
quest of $4,000 in addition, and number OF
other good enterprises are remembered. Mr.
Beck displayed excellent judgment in dividing
up his large fortune.

to "a joint debate on the municipal issues OF

Another awful railway disaster is cbroniclcd
to-day-the most terrible and probably the least
excusable Of the long series which this season
has brought forth. That two express trains
came into collision near Battle Creek, Mich.
was due to direct dIsobcdience of orders by the
engineer and conductor Of one OF them. The
guilty conductor and the engineer are under
arrest Fire added to the horrors of
the wreck. and in all about thirty
messengers on the westbound train were killed.
Evidently the big Worlds Fair travel has over
taxed the railroads. and the end Of the Elk
position will accordingly be regarded by many
with feeling Of relief.
