A WASTE OF THUNDER.

One day not long since Mr.. Charles A.
Dana came down to the Sun office and
wrote a brilliant leader which began in
this way:
The ticket nominated yesterday at Saratoga
Is the ticket of the Democratic party in the
greatest Democratic State in the Union. The
platform adopted yesterday at Saratoga is the
platform of New York's high-spirted and tri-
umphant Democracy.
Mr.. Dana doubtless read this editorial
the next morning with con siderable salts
faction. 1t really reads well. The periods
are rounded and the sentiment lofty. He
had dethroned bosses aud enthroned the
people. 1t was good days work even for
Mr. Charles A. Dana. When he had suffi-
GENTLY admired the editorial be may be
presumed to have turned to the news col
umns OF the same issue. IL he had be
quickly discovered that the ticket he had
nominated in the Sun had not been nomi-
mated at Saratoga at all. The convention
not knowing that their work had been in
dorsed in advance by the Sun adjourned
without adopting platform or naming a
candidate. The next day they took their
medicine manfnlly. Without g grimace

Court of Appeals of whom a responsible
paper SAID the day after the nominations
Who is this candidate? A ballot thief Two
years ago fraudulent certificate OF election
was returned from the TweDty-hfth Senatorial
district. 1t was declared to be fraudulent by
both the Court Of Appeals and the Supreme
Court A lawful certificate was forwarded in
its place 20 the State Controller. This true Ger
tihcate was stolen from the Office Of the Con-
troller by Isaac Il. Maynard, at that time
Deputy Attorney General The State Board OF
CanvasseTs, unable to procure any other certif-
cate, counted the fraudulent one upon the plea
that IL was the only certificate on hand. which
was the truth, although Maynard, the ballot
thief, might have supplied the true certificate,
for he was present while the board was doing
the canyassing. The theft OF this certificate
gave the majority in the Senate TO the Demo.
Gratis, and a radical reapportionment was
pushed through, the object being TO maintain
the Democrats in power in the Legislature.
Maynard's crime was thus far-reachng. As a
reward for this crime he was appointed to q
vacancy in the Court of Appeals. Yesterday
he was nominated for full term.
Mr.. Dana's confidence in the machinery
that produced this nomination was justified
in the end. Either MIR. Cleveland acqui.

to find out definitely what is possible. The
volume of water must be measured accord
ingly. But one element Of supply has to
be taken into account, the subterranean
flow. There is good reason to believe that
a vast body of water escapes underground
which it is possible to raise to the surface
by pumping or by artesian wells. Careful
and thorough inquiry alone can supply in-
formation on these matters. Probably If
Congress acts on broad basis 10 reclaim
the deserts or to regulate irrigation

representation of other States than thoss

MUST COME DOWN.
Democratic paper says in extenuation
ne policy which reduces wages:

A Democratic paper says in extenuation
of the policy which reduces wages:
The workingmen understood it when they
voted last fail. Wages must come down, but it
Will be made up TO them by the reduction in the
cost of clothes. house rent and general expenses
produced by the operation Of tariff for rev.
enue only.
A plain workingman exposed the sophis-
try of this argument before the Ways and
Means Committee. He said in substance
that he was losing enough in one week to
pay the duties on the cloth he would buy
in q year. The reduction in house rent
and general expenses is entirely prob
lematical. A series of years of hard times
might reduce rents and general expenses,
but no one ever knew rents to fall until
there was general inability on the part
of tenants TO pay them. The hard times
come first, the reduction in expenses when
it has to.

RICHMOND AND DANvILLE.-A spe-
cal from New York says: Among the
important matters that are TO be intro
duced at an early date in the coming
Legislature, is new law for the pro-
lection of minority security-holders in
corporations. At present they are at
the mercy of the majority Rights to
know what is going on in the corpora
tion in which they are interested can be
obtained by minority interests if they
assert themselves.
The doctrine that the majority shall
know all and the minority nothing is
growing unpopular, and all the receiv-
erships, etc, only intensity this feeling.
There is no reason why directors of
corporations should have all the specu-
lative perquisites to themselves to the
financial harm of the minority, which
is in bad times the majority, as the di-
rectors sell out, and too often sell short.
Bills to accomplish this object of giving
minorities rights will be introduced in
the next Legislature.
1t is asserted on good authority that
the receivers Of the Richmond and
Danville will pay January coupons on
the underlying bonds of the East Ten
nessee system, on Atlanta and Charlotte
firs.s, Western North Carolina firsts,
and the July coupons of Richmond and
Danville consolidated 6s. An effort
will be made TO pay the November cou-
pons on East Tennessee consolidated 5s
during the month of January.
