no blame was attached either to the

AT Last.

The old saying that Holdfast IL q bet.
ter dog than Brsg receives confirmation
In the news from Washington.
The opposition to repeal Is to be ADAM
doned. Compromise Is deaf and buried.
The ''uncondltionar' policy Is to be al
lowed to prevail. and the bill wiping out
the silver-purchasing clause Of the Sher-
man law is to 20 to a vote as It passed
the House. That. of course. e Its
passage by the Senate and its approval
by the President.
The Democratic silver Senators were
the FIRST to return to reason and haul
down the flibustering nag. The Repub-
.lican silverites followed their lead. and no
obstructionists now appear on the sur
face except the three Populists. Under
these circumstances II may be fairly pre-
dicted that the d~isgraceful scenes in the
Senate will speedily be brought to a
close. and that the business of legisla-
ton will be resumed.
This result will be mainly due to tho
resolute attitude of the Administration.
The recent vigorous effort to bring about
q compromise was really the means Of
Fastening the crisis, because It afforded
MI oppot tuiitty vi ISttAtls III I
Senators know distinctly and positively
that no compromise would be acceptable
to the President or the Secretary Of the
Treasury. The chief honors Of tho
Of. Unconditional repeal will
therefore go to President Cleveland.
But senator Hills course has con-
tributed largely to victory-perhaps more
largely than appears on the surface
and he il entitled to his share Of the
laurels. The plain, practical fact IL hat
the Republican Senators, n and all.
feared the success Of Mr.. Hills cloture
rule proposition, which would affect in
the future the inevitable night over the
Tariff and the Federal Election bills.
They preferred the passage Of uhcon-
ditional repeal with all the credit It
would bring to the Democratic Admins
tratiou and the Democratic party. to q
rule that would tie their hands when the
Tariff and Election questions! come be-
fore them for action.
OF course. the end 10 not yet reached.
1t Is not likely that n change of
policy will take place among the silver
Senator'S on the Republican or Demo-
cratic side. But the Populists may pos
sibly flibuster on amendments and drive
of the vote until after election. But
this IL scarcely probably. and there is
little doubt that within q few days the
vote will be taken in the Senate on the
unconditional repeal bill and the bill
will become q law.
Score me- for the Democratic platform
Of 1892.

WHEN THE SILVER ELLIS REPEALED.

The Silver bill IL going to be repealed!
Hurrahi Rosy Joy stands jocund on the
mountain tops OF our hopes. Hard times
are getting ready TO NY the coop" and
good times are coming. Soon we will all
be eating cake and drinking wine. A
peri peeping through the gates of Para
disc has no more glorious vision than
we are now blest with as W. look for
ward to the treasure-teeming days that
will follow the doom Of the Silver bill.
That bill brought us all our woes. It
was rammed tight with calamity. but
the country didn't know It was loaded.
Now that It IL all up with the mis-
chievous measure. we expect a change.
Rents will probably come of their perch,
and wages will begin to soar. Harlem
grocers will quit asking four times as
much for family supplies as the erocers
Of Murray Hill demand. The worm in
the damask cheek Of the roasted chest
nut will not turn when crushed. Apples
will be the same size all the way down
the barrel, and Fourth Ward votes will
bring q higher figure than they have
brought at any time since the war.
There will be more beer concealed
under the foam in q hve-cent schooner
than their Ii now. n hair tonic will
yield happier results than It has here
tofore. Husbands will not have to
smoke 10 few cigars and get such light
lunches in order that their wives apd
children may see a worlds fair. Capital
and labor will lie down together like the
.proverbiai lion and the lamb. Money
will be &c plentiful that bonfres made
Of II will blaze in the streets. Hearts
will be light and homes happier. The
heavens will shower blessings Il yet
undreamt Of and, there will be bliss,
Unreasonable for everybody whose con-
stitution Is 80 sturdy that he can escape

WELL, Why HOT.

A few days ago Senator Butler made
an amusing speech in the Senate, In
which. commenting on the harmony
that prevails In the Democratic party,
he drew q picture Of An imaginary meet
Senator David B. Hin, in which the
gushing sentiment Of the once estranged
leaders would be touching to behold. :
Now comes q umo from Washing
ton that the President and the New
York Senator are about to bury the
Ratchet and to become reconciled. The
story ID that Senator Hills stalwart
backing OF tina Rrssidsnt's- uncondi-
tional repeal policy. his hearty, indorse-
ment OF Mr.. Cicveland's administra-
ton in his Brooklyn speech, and his
evident determination to aid In carry
ing through all the reform measures to
which the party 10 pledged. have en-
tirely won over the President. who has
taken the initiative In arrangements for
a friendly meeting.
Well. why not? President Cleveland
and Senator Hill are the two leading
Democrats Of the Empire State. They
are in accord on the fundamental prin-
ciples OF Democracy. Why should petty
differences keep them apart? The
measure Of Mr.. Cleveland's ambition IL
full. He has received for a second time
the highest honor In the nation. He
a established himself for oil time in
the esteem n confidence of the Amer.
lean people, Senator Hills reputation
Is widening In his more extended sphere,
and his prospects were never brighter
than they are to-day. With the two
great leaders united. Democracy In New
York would be invincible.
II the rumored reconciliation should
actually take place. 1t would doubtless
be earnest and sincere. There would
be no poisoned dishes at the love-feast,
and while our mutual friend. the gal
liant Secretary of War. might be pres
ent. there would be no search for con-
cealed knives at the entrance Of the
hall Of harmony.

Il Is said that the three FIRST named
candidates will apply to the courts to
compel the Police Commissioners to
recognize their afhdavtts OF nomination.
It Is not 4 wise policy to deal unjustly
and illegally with independent candl
dates. II only increases their strength
with the people by making them mar
tyrs and by giving evidence that the
regular organization for which the Po-
lice Board acts fears their candidacy.
Better allow three or -four Assembly
districts to go to Independent Demo-
Gratis than TO attempt an arbitrary and
arrogant act, which. after all. may be
set aside by The courts.
II is to be regretted that the Tam
many Police Commissioners do not take
a broader and more liberal view OF their
duty n policy.

LET THE TRUTH he Known.

Nine of the late oficers and directors
Of the broken Madison Square Bank are
now under arrest and have given bail
for their appearance for trial on the
charges made against them In the In
dictment found by the Grand Jury. Nat

has created much excitement among
their friends. and while some of the &C.
cused take the matter as cooliy and
philosophically as II they were used
to II. others are worried or enraged, Just
as their feelings or their fears may
prompt.
Mr.. Simon Gutenberg. one Of the indict-

claration yesterday that II he was to
