NO TARIFF TINKERING.

The Repu ublican Senators to man
voted on Wednesday against the motion
to take up the bill to put sugar on the
free list. At the last session of Congress
they voted uniformly against the pro-
posed tax on that article. On the sur
face this looks like Inconsistency. But
the real question on Wednesday was
whether there shonld be any tariff tink-
ering at this session The taking up Of
the sugar bill meant the taking up later
of the iron bill ana the coal bill, and a
lot of other bills probably-indeed it
meant very likely general agitation of
the tariff question, and consequent
unsettling of business. II the sugar bill
alone could have been taken up and
passed the Republicans would undoubt-
edly have voted for it, Jas they did at the
last session. but that WAS impossible.
If that bill had been passed the Louisi-
ana senators would have forced the Goa

The system OF managing municipal
affairs on business principles is never

out of politics, put it under non-partl-
san commission, with the city civil en-
gineer as chairman of the board, and
adopted the merit system for the employ

was predicted that under this system
continuity of method would be secured,
more efficient labor would be provided.
and better streets would be obtained
at smaller outlay. These expectations
have been fully realized. With an ap-
preparation $4,000 smaller than last year,
the amount of permanent street improve
ment is 11,o00 yards greater, and the
quality of the work is far superior to
that of the old system. Brooklyn has
had similar experience under Mayor
Schieren. Only about half as many men
are on the pay roll of the Park Depart
ment now as under ring rule, and yet
the parks are far better cared for than
ever before.

and iron bills to the front, and they
would have. been passed too. BY defeest-
ing the taking up of the sugar bill the
door could be closed against all further
tariff agitation this session, and it
seemed to the Republicans-and their
judgment was doubtless correct-that
more good would accrue to the country
by preventing more tariff agitation at
this time when all business interests
require quiet and certainty than could
come from taking off the duty on sugar,
especially as it is doubt il the revenus
of the country would prove sufficient II
that source of income were dropped.

The japanese march on Pekin seems
to be meeting with no resistance worthy
of the name. Kim Chow, which has just
been captured by them, is on the road to
the capital, and is an important place
and of much strategic value. AS the
Chinese are apparently unable to offer
any effective resistance, it would seem
that they would seek to make peace
rather than suffer the loss of their capi-
tai. Japan will undoubtedly be willing
to treat, but it must be OH terms die

to negoJlate through foreign powers {.

The President has made another ad-
vance by placing all the revenue officers
under the civil service reform rules.
This will not add to his popularity with
the Office seekers of his party, who are
numerous and noisy, but it will com
mand the approval of the general public,
who have no interest in the offices ex-
cept to see that they are well managed
and do the work of the country for

paid his respects to that backslidden re.
former the Hon. Josiah Quincy of Bos-

There isn't any difference in principle

around greenbacks generally has to fur

For a man that is, according to Demo-
cratic and Mugwump newspapers, of
very. little account, Tom Platt manages
to make good deal of disturbance, and
get a good deal of notice taken of him.
Just now he is credited with some wick
ed design upon New York, Fand all the
Democratic and Mugwump papers are
after him just as if he really amounted
te something. The phenomenon of Tom
Piatt,s influence is one that we have
never been quite able to understand.
How a man pronounced by all the

could contrive two or three times year
to get himself pursued by all of them
