THE ADMINISTRATIONS FIDGETS.

The Administration seems incapable Of be-
having itself well in financial matters long
enough to get fair credit for the good things it
does. The seigniorage veto was cordially and
thankfully met, with a disposition TO overlook
the Presidents wholly unwarranted offer Of
compromise to silver in1ationists, on the ground
that they would not accept it, and that the
Presidents veto, however Objectionable in
statement. would practically PUT an end TO
silver and currency agitation But now there
comes bill which embodies precisely the plan
of surrender suggested by the President. Ii is
stated that the measure is really proposed by
the Administration, and will have its support

Travelling in state in his luxurious private
car, Richard Croker arrived in New-York last
evening, after swinging round the circle for
sxty-seven days. Strange to say, the hosts OF
Tammany Hall did not turn out in solid pha-
lanx 10 welcome their cheftain home; OF all
the Wigwam magnatcs only Commissioner
DAILY was on hand 10 greet his master. Mr..
Croker was not in communicative mood; pos
siby he was burdened with thoughts too deep
for words. A good deal has happened since
he hurried away. on February l. when it was
supposed that the Senate Committee was about
to begin it's work; and a good many things will
demand his immediate attention. AT present
the outlook for Tammany Hall is uncommonly
gloomy and it Is growing worse rather than
better.

There is no call whatever for the Legislature
% interfere with the question Of the speed at
which the trolley cars In Brooklyn are That
is a matter that Brooklyn is abundantly able 10
look after herself Ample power is already vested
in the city authorities to regulate 1t. The people
of Brooklyn are getting accustomed to the trolley

yantages which II has over the system of traction
which it has displaced The trolley cars are
clean comfortable we'll lighted and reasonably
rapid. The men who run them have become
trained to duties that were unfamiliar at the
beginning, and consequently exercise much
greater care in the handling Of the cars Acct
dents now are few. for the people have accus-
toned themselves to what was new and strange
a little while ago The Legislature can have no

proposed TO go about the business secretly. The

work OF the coming Constitutional Convention
is laid before our readers today The principal
questions discussed are those relating TO changes
in the Judiciary and to the subject of taxa

n,allficd to do so by official position and ex-

cases where they have been prepared with rs

train on the Norfolk and Western was
passing Wyoming Station to-day horse
belonging to David Mounts got on the
track and ran ahead of the engine and
across a railroad bridge, escaping with
out injury. The owner Of the horse,
thinking 1t was hurt, opened fire on the
engineer aud fireman with his Win

no damage
The statement that the Cleveland,
Columbus, Cincinnati and Indianapolis
Railroad owns the heaviest engine in
the United States. weighing G5 tons, Is
disputed by the officials OF the Norfolk
and Western Railroad, who claim that
they have a compound passenger engine
running between Roanoke aud Bristol,
Tenn, which weighs g. tons.

warfare of the silver men against gold

that even the President Of the United

movement, and he who is not with Us is

Judge Glynn's decision does not settle
the matter, but the case stands just as
it did the day the day the appointments
were made and before the injunction
was granted. He has advised his cli-

any orders OF the new board.
