THE readers of the TRANSCRIPT
will miss the feminine touch in this
weeks issue. Sac is away and the
bachelor editor sits and sighs for news
and fairly revels In the woman's
column. 1t is his hobby and as he looks
with longing eyes toward that soda
fountain (not Jerusalem) from which
inspiration as we'll as other things is
drawn, he writes of dimities, leg.o'-
mutton sleeves, shirt waists, in fact
everything that goes to make up the
summer girls outfit. The visions which
float before his mind of high necked
gowns, sleeves magnificent in their
size-well, all these charming frills
that make them all so sweet and as we
see them on these warm summer even
iugs car ried away by their sweetness
naturallyIwells upthe question which
shall it be, cream or soda? But we
are drifting off the subject-you might
call it ''reveries of bachelor" " may be
anyway dear patient reader, we
are young and inexperienced. She
will return soon and we will surrender
the shears and paste pot (of which there
has been liberal use) and we will be
delivered from that abomination of

One of the most successful and

spent hundreds of dollars for lessons
1t is 80 amusing to see her come down
a terrace or staircase that scenes of
the sort are never used when they can
be avoided. A model in motion, who
has lived abroad long time, and
who carries herself with regal grace,
was taught how to walk by her
father, a military man. She is truth

gentlewoman has gentle ways. She

THE Railroad strike now on in the
West and which threatens to assume
the same proportions in the East is one
of the most serious ever experienced in
this country. 1t is known as "sympa-
thetic" one, that isout of sympathy for
the employees of the Pullman Company,
the employees Of the various rail-
roads deem it their bounden duty to
quit work. What they can accomplish
by this movement, it is exceedingly
difficult to see. Their places can be
easily filled by thousands of men who
are out of work and who are only too
glad to secure whatever kind of labor
that can be had. 1t is senseless, USE
less, harmful and withal a foolish
movement and deserves the condemna-
tion which it is receiving by the press
all over the country.

the leaders of the party say differently. Mr..
Bayard has always been opposed to officers
of the government stationed abroad com.
ing home to take part in political cam
paigns. This opposition was so strong
that when he was Secretary of State, and o
foreign Minister applied for a leave Of ab-
sence to take part in campaign, II was re-
fused"
Mr.. BAYARD's personal participa-
tion In the Delaware campaign is un-
likely unless he has determined to re-
sign bis post. OF the anxiety of the
Delaware Democr; is there is, on the
other hand, no doubt. The HON. AN
THoNY HIGGINS gave them a cold
surprise in 1888, and now they are in
worse condition than then on account
of the Protection-Populist course of tie
Administration and Congress,
If Mr.. BAYARD is thoroughly in
formed in regard to Delaware politics
and national politics, he must regret
the day when he made room for the
Hon. GEORGE GRAY in the Senate.
The Democrats of Delaware doubtless
share in that regret.

THE coal strike to great extent
was as foolish as the present railroad
strike. We know of cases where men
were willing and glad to work for the
wages offered them but were not per-
mitted to do so by reason of the force
used by the unions. No one denies the
right of men to combine for their own
protection but they have no right to
interfere with the rights of others.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

w WASH1NGTON, july "a, lS94.-
It is putting the case very mildly to
say that the Democratic managers
have been in state Of fright for sew
eral days past. Instead Of trying to
drive the tariff bill to a vote they have
actually been scheming to prevent its
being pushed to final vote before they
were certain Of having the votes to pass
it. The adjournment of the Senate
from Friday until to-day, after the bill
had been reported to the Senate from
the committee of the whole, was to en-
able the Democratic managers to put
down the revolt against the bill. They
have not yet succeeded, but they pro-
badly will, and then they will rush the
bill for all they know how. The Pupu-
lists are at the head of this revolt, but
Senator Blanchard, of Louisiana. who
accuses the Democratic managers Of
breaking their pledges by agreeing to
modify the sugar schedule, and Hill, of
New York, whose plucky fight against
the income tax in the face Of certain
defeat has excited the admiration of
his worst enemies, are both in 1t up to
their ears. This revolt may delay the
final vote on the bill for two or three
days and may result In few more
concessions being made to get the
kickers back in the traces, but there is
no good reason to believe that it will
affect the final disposition of the bill.
The revolt wasn't organized to defeat
the bill, but to obtain further couces-
sions for those who know that they are
in position to defeat the bill if their
demands are finally refused, but who
lack the courage to defeat it even if
they fail in getting the concessions
they are after. After all 1t matters
little in what shape the bill will pass
the Senate. The bill that will become
law, if any does. will be shaped by
the Conference committee, and it may
probably will differ as radically
from the Senate bill as that does form
the Wilson bill as originally passed by
the House. In view of the present po-
sition of the free traders in the House,
it will be surprising il the country
known before the first of August
what the new tariff bill be.
Secretary Gresham did his part TO
keep the interests of the sugar trust
protected by reporting, In answer to
Senator Hoar's resolution calling for
information on the subject, that the
state department had no official infor-
nation of the intention of Germany,
Gautamala, or any other foreign ma
to place retaliatory duties upon Amer
can products if the present sugar sche-
dule of the tariff bill becomes q law.
1t is noted as a coincidence that Secre-
tary Gresham's answer made its ap-
pearance just as the Democrats of the
Senate Finance committee we're con-
sidering tho proposed changes in the
schedule, which would reduce the pro-
fits of the sugar trust.
Senator Sherman is very much in
earnest In his attack upon the Pullman
Car Company, for such his resolution,
which was adopted by the Senate, d.
recting the committe on interstate
commerce to investigate and report
upon the advisability of q law for the
regulation of the charges made by
parlor and sleeping cars, reallyis is. Mr..
Sherman characterizes the Pullman
Company and the sugar trust as the

two outrageous monopolies we have.
He thinks that the charges per mile to
be made by the Pullman Company can
be fixed by law. just as the interstate
commerce law fixes the charges which
interstate railroads may make for car
rying passengers, and what is more to
the purpose, he says he doesn't intend
to stop agitating the matter until bill
carry out that idea has been reported
and passed. To judge by the express
sioDs of opinion by both Senators and
and Representatives it will not be diff
fcult to get such a bill passed. Sena-
tor Sherman says the rate could be
made just one-half of what it is now
and that the Pullman Company would
still make enormous profits.
Secretary Herbert hase made de-
cision that can only be explained by
considering him to be absolutely in-
different TO the suffering of others.
He has decided that the Congressional
joint resolution extending tie appro-
priations of the last fiscal year for
thirty days into the new fiscal year be-
ginning yesterday, on account of tie
new appropriations not having been
acted upon by Congress, does not ap-
ply the current appropriations for SIN

quence orders were issued on Saturday
to suspend 100 men employed in the

cision was technically legal. which is

of employment when they could just

makes this act seem all the more heart

that it is practically certainty, that
partisanship of the rankest kind is at
the bottom of it. The Congressional

doubtless be seen when work is resumed

AS COMPARED WITH STATE INVEST
MENTs.
To obtain a better idea OF they ex-
traordiuary extent Of Tammany pa
tronage some comparisons might be
made with State governments.
Take the States, alphabetically and
add together the cost Of thegovernment
of each and it will be found that the
first twenty two states on the list
namely, Alabama. Arkansas. Colorado
Connecticut, California, Delaware,
Florida, George, Iowa, Indiana, Idaho
Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Maine Maryland, Massachusetts, Mich
ican, Michigan, Minnesota Mississippi
and Missouri-disburse.a as pay
ment for all expenses Of government,
including int. on State debts payments
on principal of State debt, etc., total
sum of se1, ,375,77O. Thus the total
expenditure of the whole twenty-five
State governments named does not
equal the amount expended annually
by the government of this city.
Now take the other twenty-five
States:- Montana, Nevada, Nebraska,
New Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York, North Carolina, North Dakota.
Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania. Rhode
Island, South Carolina, South Dakota,
Tennessee Texas, Vermont, Virginia,
Washington, Wisconsin. West Virgil
mia and Wyoming. The aggregate
disbursements of these twenty-five
States for cost of State government,
interest on debt, etc., amounts to S6l,-
SC6, ,456.
So it is demonstrated that the New
York city government spends more
than half as much money annually as
it costs pay the expenses of govern
ment, reduction of State debts and in
terest on the public debt Of all the
States in the Union.
The New York city government
means the Tammany society, and there
fore Tammany dispenses more money
and patronage than do the State
governments of one-half uf the United
States. The average salary of State
Governors does not amount to S5, 600
year. The Governors of only three
States receive as much as $4,000 a
year salary, but in New York city
there are 139 officers that pay $1,000 a
year and more, and Al of these pay
yearly salaries of $4,000 and more.
The most lowly rumseller may hope to
become an $1,000 year Police Justice
if he labors faithfully in Tammany's
interests, or he may become coroner
and receive S., ,0OG, year for sitting"
on an occasional corpse.
1t is not unreasonable to suppose that
Tammany will fight fiercely in the
coming election to retain the extra.
ordinary patronage the society controls
| and the anti-Tammany forces will have
difficult task In overthrowing this
great organization. Fifteen thousand
| ofice-holders, organized more thor
oughly than is any other political
society on earth, will work together as
a uLit under the direction and absolute
control Of shrewd captains and
generals. And, furthermore, Tam.
many can count on the support Of
every relative and friend of all its
great army of ofice-hoders.
