DEFINING WITH DISCRETION

Mr. George Kinkcl of Kings County, " l.,
has learned something in politics since last
wear: especially To use his right of declinalion
with discretion: upon which he is TO be con-
graduated.
A vo,r ago II will be remembered, the Re
publican party over there was making up Il
tjclct to win. Mr. Kinkc was Il Democrat.
But he had made. on the whole. "A good record
rs Supcrysor-at-Largc chiefly through his use
Of thc veto power The Republicans therefore
offered to ratfy his denomination by his own
party and thus give him IL practically nnanl-
nous reelection This offer Mr.. kinkel refused
Perhaps he was acting under compulslon from
Kcrrigans. Perhaps he really thought he wouii
be- elected without Republican support Any
way he refused TO let his name 90 on the Kc-
publican ticket. The result Is historic / ne re
publicans nominated Thomas Fitchic. and elect
cd him by ESQ votes over Mr.. kinkcl. and Il
great gIffaw mt Mr.. Knkcfs expense, arose
from Grccnpoint 10 GowanuS.
Well this year. when nominating time came
around Mr. Knkel boook himself 10 distant
parts But in his absence the beaten and dis
credited Ring and Gang remembered him; re-
mrmbercd his former odOr Of sanctty and his
ready compliance with their desires. If he
would decline one nomination at their bidding
surely he would accept one. So they put him
on their ticket for Controller. as a sort Of sugar
coating 10 make Mike Cummings Il trihe less
nauscating to the public palate Mr.. Knkel.
however. as have remarked, has learned
something. and he declines the nomination Last
year he didn't know any more than 10 decline
a nomination which meant success. This year
he knows enough to decline Il nomination which
means defeat. Such progress in political knowl-
edge is encouraging. and. we repeat, Mr.. Kinkcl
Is to be cOngra tulated upon II.

ENITE.S OUT.

Tommany has discovered that 1t cannot have
It's cake and eat it also. Hill was put up for
the express purpose OF saving the Tammany ma
chine from overthrow. Now the printing or
UilIs tickets with the anti Tammany local nom
nations threatens to deprive Tammany OF loooo
TO 80 600 votes for the city ticket, upon which II
has staked everything. for the sake OF helping
Hill. who was nominated only TO help Tam
many. Logically, Tammany kicks, and threat
cns that IFS kick ut the polls will be felt AZ well
ms heard unless Hill stops his use Of the enemies
Of the Democratic machine for its own advan-
tage. Nobody can say that the Wigwam has
not good ground for getting angry. Hill has
one fat Office already which lac does not let go,
and lie merely continues Senator If he gets
beaten But the thousands who hold office I'M
der Tammany have to imperil their offices and
Jobs, which are their livelihood merely for llills
convenience. The raw material of big kick is
here.
The other side is about as bad. Senator Hill
has consented to dive down into the filth Of
State and local politics again, though provided
with fat office and clothed with high honor
for the express purpose of helping his Tam
many friends II he is going TO risk so much In
a hard fight, Tammany must at least give him Il
chance TO save what votes he can. ON Il cold
calculation, If Tammany can be beaten In New
York Hill cannot expect 10 win In the state.
Ii has Il margin Of 10000 votes and lie has an
adverse majority at the last election to over
come Plainly, Senator Hill will insist that
everybody who wants shall have Il chance to
vote for the Democratic State ticket If there
is not good faith In that, the Hill men will
knife Tammany.
1t seems to be knitting operation all around.

com EXPORTS ~ OCTOBER.

The official statement Of exports and imports
for September is in many respects remarkable.
Small exports of gold would mean nothing mt
ordinary seasons supplies Of money here being
such that an outgo gives relief. 1t is not the
same thing when gold begins 10 90 abroad in
October the very time when the normal excess
of merchandise exports over imports ought To
produce a movement Of gold from Europe this
WAY. ANY outg0 Just now is in public cstima-
ton instantly connected with the heavy in
crease in imports which has followed the enact
mcnt of The new tariff. The statement for Sep
tcmbcr shows heavy decrease in exports.
which was expected because the exports of
brcadstuns were small in quantity and in price
low beyond all precedent.
But il will strike almost every one with sur
prise that the Increase in imports was no more
those who have thought the least favorably Of
the new tariff have supposed that it would in
crease imports largely. as it has done in Octo-
Der. The explanation is found in the fact that
goods worth many millions were taken out Of
bond in September, which had been waiting for
the enactment Of the new tariff. and while the
exact warehouse figures are not ut hand as vet
it is evident that in quantity and value the
SDDlS InTDWU Oh lIt UllIkpI IuF exceed tllOSp
marketed in September last year. But there is
one other explanation which requires notice.
The value Of sugar imported in September this
year was almost nothing though the exact hg-
urcs are not known. but the value in Scptcm-
Der, 1893, was S9.19O,GIl. This alone makes an
important difference. rs the value Of other goods
imported was about Si9GOO.O0O this year.
against S3j,JO9911 las, ycar-an increase of
nearly 30 per cert Including Withdrawals from
warehouse, the increase in goods marketed must
have been ut least ~ per cent
From several points Of view it is important
to watch the details of foreign trade closely at
this time. There is first the question how far
products Of home industry are being displaced
by products Of foreign Industries, and in October
1t is evident that the displacement has been
very large. Then there Is the probability Of
payments. and of gold exports ~ Il consequence.
While only S5OOOOO gold has gone abroad this
week, ii Is evident that the present excess Of
imports cannot continue without taking large

TdVNdNY And JUDGE TR UAX.

II is unfortunate for Judge Truax that he
comes before the people for reelection upon the
Tammany ticket In ordinary circumstances he
might have been reelected without opposition.
Although originally chosen as the representative
of the County Democracy. he had at that time
the Tammany Endorsement, and is now its choice
for reelection. The temper OF the people Is SO
aroused against every thing and every one In
any degree associated with the corrupt organ
ization that the Committee OF Seventy felt fair
Is justified in making up even the judicial part
Of its ticket from Tammany's recognized Oppo-
ncnts, though at the expense of the rule respect
ing the denomination Of judges with good rec
ords, regardless Of politics.
This prccudcd the nomination Of Judge
Trlax: and we feel bound to say that by ac-
ceptlng the Tammany nomination he has voun-
tarily placed himself in position that leaves
him no cause for complaint If he Is carried
down with his less worthy associates. More
over. there is no doubt that by some OF his ap-
pointments, notably that Of cX-Mayor Grant as
receiver Of the ST. Nicholas Bank, he has given
Just cause for criticism. Nevertheless, we do
not believe that the circumstances justify the
