PROPERTY DnoUALItI.ATIoN.

one OF the logical results OF the de-
parture from Democratic principles "Hich
has gotten the Senate into such tansle'
and has raised such suspicious oil cor
rupt motives. is that no senator who mas
any property is free from the charge tnat
his vote Is not merely influenced, but con-
trolled by his self-interest
Even Senator Faulkner has found occa-
sion TO declare on the floor Of the Senate
that he has no interest either in coal
property or railroads.
Now, in the name Of common sense
why should a senator be disqualified be-
cause he has property of any or every
kind? We hear 10 such imputatlon oil
incapacity or disqualification against our
State legislators. They may own any
thing without being liable to the charge
Of corruption. The reason Is plain-our
State revenue laws are intended 10 be
equal and just. There is neither fear,
favor nor affection in their enactment or
execution. There IS no scheme or plan
for making money out OF them, and the
man who votes for them votes to tax
himself as well as his neighbors, and all
alike, and without Partially. But this
is not the case in the Congress Of the
United States.
There, from the time the protective
tariff disease possessed the minds Of our
Federal legislators, there has been an
ever-recurring effort by the strong and
influential to take advantage Of its fal-
iacics for the plundering OF the weak and
defenceless. And this Will always be 50
until we return to the practice Of the
simple principles of Democracy equal
rights u all and special favors to none.

The COMING Municipal Election.

a large majority of the citizens Of New

Nobody doubts this. The problem is TO
rally this majority To the support OF one
anti-Tammany ticket. The defeat Of Tam

then be- certain. But TO make victory
over Tammany fruitful OF good results it
is necessary that the ant-Tammany tick
1T be composed of men who can be de-
pended upon 10 repudiatc all Tammany
methods, and TO conduct the city Govern
ment upon sound business principles. This
sounds like a truism which it should be
superfluOus 20 repeat. But IL is not super
fuouS. bn the contrary, II cannot be re-
peated too often and too strenuOusly. for
we are confronted by the danger that in
seeking 10 unite all the Tammany elements

formed, the success of which would only
