John Jay.

Tho Hon. JOHN JAY. who died in New
York yesterday. In the seventy-seventhy year
OF his age. was Of distinguished Revolu-
tionary stock. and he bore with honor during
O long life the illustrious name which he in
herited. He was man OF strong and culti-
waited mind. and Of decided convictions. to
which he held with admirable courage at
q time when they were opposed and de-
rided by popular opinion. more especially
by that OF the social circle in which he moved.
Like his father. Judge WILLIAM JAY. the
son Of JOHN JAY Of the Revolutionary Pc
riod. he was an Abolitionist when to be an
enemy OF slavery brought reprouch and
barred a man absolutely from political
favor. lie was OF the truest kind Of
reformers. He was. moreover. gentle
man In the best sense OF that term. to whose
courtliness OF person there was added great
simplicity Of character. loyalty. and unde-
waiting devotion to duty. both public and
private. He was O citizen who reflected
honor on the republic In every place OF trust
to which he was assign and In all circum-
stances of q varied and active career
he sustained with credit the name OF
which he was 30 reasonably proud. He
was q man pervaded by deep sense OF
moral obligation. spotless In hts life.
diligent In his services to the public. and
pious in his regard for his religious duties.
A greater tribute Of respect than that owing
to the memory OF JOHN JAY no man need

Senator WALSH looks for a new and more

turning thithcr Of the stream Of immlgra-
tion. against which slavery was so long an
insurmountable barrier "No other portion
OF the globe" he says without exaggera-
tion, "is comparable to the South for the
attainment OF material prosperity" but
the demonstration OF this must be made to
the world by the individual energy OF the
Southern people In developing resources so
unexampled. and In their collective wisdom
for legislation and sound business policies
commanding the respect and confidence OF
all. Nowhere else in the Union would the
consequences OF Popuistlo methods be
more baneful than in the South. which

The particular facts presented by Senator
WALSH In proof OF the natural advantages

We reviewed recently the details OF the
measure designed for the relief OF Irish
eyicted tenants. and introduced by Mr. JOHN
MORLEY In the House OF Commons. 1t now
appears that the project reproduces almost
exactly the suggestions made by Mr..
MICHAEL DAvIrr in the last number of
the Nineteenth Century. which were en-
bodied in a bill brought forward last year
by Mr. MCHUGH on behalf OF the Irish
Nationalist party. The fact Is n sufficient
explanation OF the cordial reception given
by the seventy-one McCarthyites TO the
Chief Secretary's proposal.
Mr.. DAvITT and Mr.. MCHUGH insisted
that any act for the relief of evieted tenants
ought to apply to those elected since May
/, 1879. That is the date adopted by Mr..
MORLEY. The scope OF operation thus given
TO the plan OF settlement will cover over
5000 holdings. but from only Ss4 OF these is
the plan OF Campaign" responsible for
the eviction OF tenants. The occupants OF
much the greater part OF the holdings to be
affected by the measure now before the
House OF Commons were elected before the
Plan OF Campaign was promulgated In Oe-
tober. 1886, and their eiectment was due to
sheer inability to pay the rents fixed by the
Land Courts. owing to the great fall
in the prices OF agricultural products.
The second demand pressed by Mr.,
DAyITT was. that when the landlord
Is in occupation. that is. where there is no
new tenant. the Land Commission should
have power to reinstate the evieted tenant.
but the landlord should have the option to
require the tenant TO purchase under the
AsHBoURNE acts on terms to be hxsd by
the Commission. This demand has been
punctiliously complied with by Mr.. NOR
LEY. 1t was further advised by Mr.. DAyIrT
that where new tenant had a substantial
interest and was unwilling to sell. no coma
pulsion should be put upon him. but the
Commission should buy land elsewhere and
sell to the svietsd tenant. That Is to say.

senator Walsh and the New South.

The new Senator from Georgia. the Hon.
PATRICK WALSH. has prepared compre-
hensive and extremely interesting and val
uable statement. showing the develop
ment OF the South" since the close OF the
civil war. This survey OF the Southern sit
uation Is so intelligent. and its grasp OF the
political and economical principles essential
90 healthy progress everywhere is so
statesmanlike. that 1t indicates the pecu-
liar and eminent qualifications Of Senator
WALSH for the place to which he has been
appointed.
He is type OF the spirit Of progress and
enterprise described as the New South"
IN its best and trucst sense and as contra
distinguished from the reactionary and
destructive influences which are now dis
guIsing themselves under that name He
represents In the Senate State which more
than almost any other In the South las
escaped from the bane which has SO grsev-
ously afflicted South Carolina. its unhappy
nelghbOr to the northward. Georgia has
been saved from that fate. and conse-
Quently has gained for itself repu-
tAtion for conservatism that Is inuring
TO its practical advantage In a special
degree. By rejecting Populistic Quackery
and pursuing sound methods Of administra-
tion. the State has entitled itself to the
large measure OF confidence which It is re-
ceiving from capital. and by reason Of
which IL Is advancing in prosperity at .
rate equAlled by few other States OF the
Union. 1t Is O community Of vigorous peO-
pie who are not wasting regrets upon the
past and Furnishing themselves by concoct-
ing socialistic nostrums for the debilitation
OF the general prosperity essential to their
own particular welfare. but who are pur-
suing the path OF industry and enterprise
which alone leads to that goal.
Senator WALSH needs only to refer to the
example Of his own State 20 prove that there
Is no justification for the impression which
he speaks Of as prevalent. that there is
something eneryating In the Southern eli
mate which makes the people indolent and
prevents Industrial progress" Did the be-

their Union opponents any such impress

IL Should Die.

We huvo for long time refrained from
any expression OF opinion respecting the
proposition to construct system Of rapid
transit with the dty's money. We have
watched the inception OF the idea, studied
Its growth, and followed with attention its
progress from its early stages in the public
prints to It's elimination in tho bill now
awaiting the signature Of the Governor at
Albany. TO us 1t presents the aspect OF q
serious calamity. We cannot look with any
other convictions upon proposition to i'm
pose 80 great burden upon the taxpayers
OF this city: and even II we assent to the
most optimistic views that the advocates Of
the plan have presented. we see nothing in
its future that is not threatening to the
welfare OF the municipality.
1t Is founded In that madness which is
the origin OF all reckless legislation. and to
shield us against its consequences we have
only the courage and good sense OF the
Chief Executive OF the State to fall back
upon. We feel sure that the conservative
character and sound business habit Of Gov
ernor FLowER's mind have long since led
him to share these opinions. and we ven-
ture to express the hope that he will not
let his better judgment be swayed by the
clamor of misguided or vicious newspapers.
There has never been q bill before the
Executive more fraught with evil import
for this town than the one In question. 1t
Is misshapen and deformed MEASURE in
every aspect. and II by any misfortune 1t
were ever wrought out to Its intent and
purpose 1t would ruin the credit OF our city.
