BAYARD AT HOME,

1t is always pleasant to know that our
Ministers abroad have found favor in the
sight of the Government to which they
were accredited. 1t does not follow that
American interests have been neglected
while a Minister has been making friends
with the statesmen with whom he is asso-
ciated. The return of Thomas +. Bayerd
from England reminds our people that
Mr. Cleveland has been quite successful in
his selection of Foreign Ministers. Some
how his American policy is more popular
abroad than at home. 1t is much to be
hoped that Mr.. Bayard does not mistake
social courteSies for an abiding expression
of national regard. 1t is much to be hoped
that he was not socially blinded when he
was impressed with the idea that he
"found that the name of America was re-
ceived with honor such as l (he) believe
has been extended to no other nation than
ourselves" Mr.. Bsyard may perhaps
with profit recall the fact that he went to
London as the representative of an ad-
ministration devoted to policy English
statesmen greatly desire to see established
in America. On two leading information al
issues Mr.. Bayard is thoroughly in accord
with the statesmen of the country to
which he was accredited. On the cur
rency question he is gold monometallist.
and on the tariff question he is free
trader. No man could have been sent to
England more in harmony with British
opinion than Mr.. Bayard. At the same
time his personal aud social qualities
could not fail to win British approval.
But our cousins across the pond are not
blind to the advantages of entertaining an
American representative who thinks pretty
much as they do.

THE FIFTY-FoURTH CONGRESS

The Republican Congressional commit
tee estimates the Repu blican plurality in
the next House at twenty-eight, allowing
the Populists ten members. Even a
smaller majority will enable the Republi-
cans to hold the Cleveland administration
harmless for the rest of the term. The
Cleveland Wilson programme of supple
menting tariff legislation cannot be carried
out if the Republicans control one House
Probably there has never been time in
our national history when the rank aud
file of the party in power would have coD-
templated an opposition House in the last
half of Presidential term so complacentlv
as at present Democrats are as deeply
interested in the prosperity of the country
SIS Republicans. They are pinched as
sorely when an industrial depression
comes on as Republicans. The party is
largely composed of men with little or no
capital, and who are consequently depend
ent upon their earnings for living. At
the present time the logic Of facts is doing g
good campaign work for the Republicans.
Promised results have not as yet resulted
from Democratic legislation. The reduc-
tion in wages is a matter concerning which
there is no room for argument. When a
mans wages are reduced he knows it.
When there is vague promise that in a
short time his wages will be restored he
does not know whether the promise will
be kept or not When workingman sees
bis associates losing jobs all round ana
sees at the same time that finished goods
are being brought into the country that

about the beauties of free trade does OF

stubborn facts are now doing work on the

AMERICAN RAILROADS AMI
EUROPEAN INVESTORS,

European stockholders in American rail-
roads are becoming uneasy over their in
vesimepts. On Monday a meeting of
shareholders in the Central Pacific was
held in London. and committee of seven,
with a member of Parliament at their
head. and Sir Charles Wilson, Comptroller
General of the English Public Debt. as
adviser, was appointed to proceed to
their property. Almost simultaneously DR..
Van der Leyen of the German Ministry of
Public Works published a report on Amer
ican railroads. showing that the grossest
frauds were perpeirated IN their organiza-
ton, that they have been and are sadly
mismanaged and that Germans who in
vested money in them are in fair way to
lost it. DR.. Van der Lsyen's report ap-
pears to have been ordered by the impe
rial Government Of Germany anu possesses
an official character. The German Gov
ernment has no other business in the
| matter than paternal regard for the iu-
terests of German investors, and desire
to protect them from imposition by giving
them all obtainabls Information.
The case of the English stock holders in
| the Central Pacific stands upon peculiar
grounds. Any stock they may hold in the
Csntral Pacific is in fair way of being
wiped out. 1t is now perfectly evident to
all discerning persons that neither the
Reilly bill nor any similar bill can become
law without such widespread corrup ion
! in Congress as is almost unthinkable. No
adjustment of the subsidy bond question
which contemplates laying a burden of
$l30, 600. 600 on the two Pacific roads and
that uiiizes nearly as large an amount of
watered stock in addition can be acce pied
by an honest Congress No matter how
long the bonds are to run or how low a
rate Of interest they are TO bear such an
adjustment would be in effect a mortgage
on the traffic between this coast and the
Missouri, ana that traffic could not stand
it. There is but one way In which the
subsidy bond question can be settled, and
that is the plain, simple businesslike way

NEW YORK NON.PARTlSANS.

The anti-Tammany Democrats have in
dorsed the nomination OF William l..
Strong for Mayor. The anti-Tammany
men stoodput for Democrat for time,
but ex-Mayor Grace convinced them that
in local matters it did not much matter
whether an official was Republican or
Democrat, so that he was honest and able.
In somewhat stormy meeting, held to
consider the pro position to indorse Colonel
Strong, Mr.. Grace said:
believe that l can guarantee to you, gen.
tlemen, that the man whose name has been
presented TO your consideration to- night is
honest. upright, fair-minded and liberal. He
is man who can secure legislation that will
put every one of these Tammany men out OF
office; that will send the thieves to make their
living elsewhere than in public place. be.
leve that he VIII be entirely bipartisan.
Despite this positive Endorsement there
were many Democrats in the meeting who
wanted to nominate Mr.. Grace himself.
But Mr.. Grace was firm in his refusal to
accept nomination. He gave two good
reasons for his refusal. First, he knew he
could not be elected with Republican
candidate in the field, and he feared tha,
the duties of the G flee, if the Republican.
should withdraw their candidate. would
kill him before his term was out. When
the convention came to a vote Colone
Strong received 1927 votes to 372 for Mr.
Grace. The Grace men were so vocifer
GUS in their denunciation of Republican
alliance that MIR. Grace intimated thai
most of them were emissaries from Tam
many Hall.
Before the ant-Tammany Democrats
came to the conclusion that a Republican
might make good Mayor. ColoDe Strong
was disinclined to accept Republican
nomination. He wanted man nominated
who would combine all anti-fammany
factions in his support. In an interview "
with Sun representative Colonel Strong
said:

OF men. SO you see l wouldn't be agreeable to
Republicans or Democrats. Why / told the
Democrats on the committee OF seventy who
came TO me and wanted me to sign certain
pledges that they had prepared that Pd see
them in - first
Perhaps Colonel Strong defined his posi-
ton with more emphasis than the occasion
required. But the report of the committee
appointed To investigate the Tammany ad-
ministration was doubtless fresh in his
mind, and he naturally associated the
locality he considered preferable to con-
tinuance of such state Of affairs with the
inexorable operations Of the law of COM
pensatlon.
New York as well as San Francisco is
face to face with proposition to conduct
municipal Offices on non-partisan basis.
New York has suffered untold evils from
the effects of party municipal government.
The Tammany leaders have always peen
able to swing the Democratic organiZa-
tions into the support of their nominations.
No Democrat can hope for success with
Tammany arrayed against him. The ar
dent support OF Tammany has been one
element of MI HIPS power. Mr.. Cleve-
land at one time thought he could do with
out Tammany, but is now convinced that
he was mistaken. Cleveland is a pretty
good Tammany man now. He announces
through member of his Cabinet that he
proposes to vote the Hill ticket, although
the mugwumps have put an opposition
ticket in the field. The outcome of the
New York contest viii! be looked for ON
this coast with great interest.
