OUR SENATORS.

ldaho's senators are in full sym
pathy with their constituency on
the silver question and are making
= manful stand. Efforts have been
made to nlisrepresent the junior
senator OH the issue and his fralty
has been called in question. Evil
IDENTIFY the criticisms were prema-
ture and ill-adyised. Senator
Dubois position is all that the
most ardent oliver men could wish
and effectually silences all mis-
givings on that score. We believe
that the friends Of silver in the sen.
ate are engaged in a hopeless
struggle, MT their justification will
come sQ6ner or later. The people
Of the stdte should rise above per-
;sonai animosities and partisan an
tagonisms in recognizing the loyal
work that their representatives in
congress are doing. The TRIBUNE
is not disposed to gush over every

believe that q candid recognition
Of services we'll performed is as
great stimulus to correct action
as liberal admonition. Therefore.
we take pleasure in commencing

the all important question of free
coinage, and believe that the peo-
pie of the state will have due APP.

MORE COMPROMISE talk.
Limitations That the President win
Make Concessions.

Washington, Sept. 19.-There 10
strong talk Of compromise on the
silver question in the senate to-
night, based on reported intima-
tons given by the President that
he is willing to accept moderate
compromise in the nature of con-
tinued coinage for specified time
OF SO much silver per month until
a specified amount is reached.
The President, however, is re-
presented as unwilling that con-
session be made to silver shall 20
on the repeal bill as q rider, but it
must be passed subsequent to the
passage of the unconditional repeal
bill.
The assurance that he would sign
a supplementary bill might satisfy
some compromise advocates, but
the free silver men, even though
they should ecquiesce, would prob
ably insist on the compromise
being Incorporated in the original
bill. They naturally want the
best terms they can make for sill
yer and the acceptance of COM
promise with them would be in
place of certain defeat.
On the other hand, if the presi-
dent is correctly represented, it is
possible he may agree to coupling
the compromise with the repeal
bill.
There are therefore many con-
tingencies upon which an arrange
ment to let matters 60 to. vote de-.
pend. The reported intimations
FROM the White House, of willing
ness to take anything shor: of abso-
lutte and unconditional repeal have
revived talk of early settlement
of the battle of the senate, whether
it eventuates in anything or not.

A BIT OF MIDWAY PLAIsANCE.

Five Arabs From the Chicago Fair Make
Spectacle in P.R. r. Station.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
this morning treated its patrons to q
glimpse of the Midway Plaisance without
compelling them to undergo the incon-
venience of the long trip to Chicago. One
OF the early Western trains brought to the
station in this city i've Arabs. They
belonged to the combination which has
been giving exhibitions of horsemanship
and the manners and ways of the Arabs
at the Fair. Two of them were women
and the other three were of the mutineerS
who one day last week tied their manager
to horse and jabbed him with spears and
swords as the animal dragged him around
the ring. The men were arrested for this
scru9lty and claimed that they had not
been paid by their manager and accused
him oil serious offences.
When they had satisfied Chicago Justice
they resigned from lhe show and start
ed to return to the Orient. They expected
to be met at the station by an agent and
taken to the steamship upon which they
were to sail for Europe. The agent failed
to be on hand and the Arabs were in a fix.
They began to jabber and gesticulate
and looked so woe-begone and miserable
that Detective Peter Morris Immediately
concluded that they were stranded.
He succeeded in conveying his fears to
the denizens of the desert and they soon
put his misgivings to flight One Of them
could understand and make himself under

they were going and declared that thev
all had plenty of money from an Arabian
standpoint Peter then ushered them into
the mems waiting room where they sat
down, and taking out tissue papers and
good American corporation tobacco began
to roll cigarettes. The women showed
themselves as expert as the men at this
occupation, and smoked the result of their
skill with all the nonchalance Of their
male protectors.
Many of the passengers took good look
at the Arabs. They were novel sight
There appeared to be little difference in
their dress. They We're all swathed from

wore baggy Zouave trousers and the wo-
men had skirts of some coarse cloth of a
dull dark color. The women arose the
greatest curiosity, as they had their faces
tatooed with blue lines which crossed each
other at regular intervals and made them
appear as though they were looking out
from Il lattice work pavilion.

. An UBIQUITOUS LAW
How The Contract Clause of
the Traction Act May
Be Overcome.
Special 10 The Jersey Ctr Ne,vs.

TRENTON, Aug. 49, 1S93-The editorials
which have appeared In THE JERSEY
CITY NRws recently upon the act which
authorizes the formation of traction com
panies for the construction and operation
OF street railways have attracted consid-
cradle attention here at the Capitol.
The articles have awakened much COM
ment upon the manner in which the Bad
Legislature of last winter transacted
business, and the utter disregard for all
decency and concern for the interests of
their constituencies which characterized
the greater number of the legislators. A
mall group OF last winters members,
State officials and others who are in con :
slant attendance upon The sessions on
business or otherwise, were in room in
the State House one day this week, and
the conversation turned upon this trac-
lion BILL
The measure was one of three intro
duced by Senator Michael Barrett of
Essex on March s. in the closing days of
the session. The three bills were Senate
Nos. 2S4, 2S5. 2S6 and each was part of one
vast scheme for obtaining a monopoly of
street car franchises, tue like OF which
has not been seen in this or any other
State for many a year. No, 2S4 author
lZed The formation of traction companies;
No. 2S5 authorized street railway COM
panies TO be leased by traction com
panies. and 286 authorized the consolda-
ton of street railways aud traction COM
pauies.
In the hurley burly of the last days of
the session when little heed is given TO
bills, and members vote eindiscrlminately,
only anxious for their own bills these
measures escaped general attention. The
TACT that the scheme placed tremendous
power In the hands OF u gigantic monop-
oiv was organized by some, but so COM
pletely was the Legislator under the con-
troll or the bosses that the bills were
hastily passed. The few who could not
be controlled by the so called leaders,
We're coerced into voting for the meas
ures by threats that unless they did SO.
some measure of great Importance 10
their particular localities, and which
they were most anxious to have passed,
would be defeated.
AN IRREPEALABLE CONTRACT.
Inc only exteuded notice which the
bills received was by THE JERSEY CITY
NEWS aud the EUeni9lg NeWs OF Newark
which published a full synopsis OF the
measures soon after The adjournment of
the Legislature, and poin ted out the
great tniquitousness of the scheme. 1t
was, however. then too late to accom-
pllsn anything as the bills had already
become laws.

sure this week here was lawyer we'll
