The suggestion to nominate Governor
Pattison as the Democratic candidate
for mayor of Philadelphia grows In
force, and will probably be carried into
effect unless he intcrposes personal
veto. lie would not only provo an
honorable candidate, but one peculiarly
available in the emergency tina: now
cnnfronts tho people OF Philud alphia.
The voters Of that Republican city are
used to voting Governor pattisun into
office, and when they twice lande him
controller they found in him an honest,
faithful and fearless public official. AS
mayor he would be just the man to lead
in the work of redeeming Philadelphia
from the clutches of the corrupt ring
that holds the city in its plundering
grasp. The Democrats should nominate
Governor Pattison, and he should accept
the nomination. The people would
attend to the rest.

Now that the new Governor has been
duly inauguratcd, the Legislature should
settle down to hard, solid work, with
which not even the Senatorial middle
should be permitted to interfere.
The session is now in its third week,
and the net result is only a slight meas
ure Of preliminary work. There will
be plenty to do, however, and it should
be done without further delay. The
Constitutional Convention ordered by
the people at the last election must be
provided for, and other important public
questions will come up for settlement
First of all, the General Assembly
should establish an carly limit for the
introduction of new business, and
rigidly adhere to it. Those who have
private measures requiring legislative
action should DO notified to present
them without delay, or abide by the
consequences.
All the agencies that desire legisla.
ton should cooperate in the move for Il
busy and business-like session. The
city of Wilmington bills, which should
have been ready when the session
opened, ought to be formulated at once
and sent to Dover. Nearly all of them
will involve questions calling fer careful
consideration, and the Legislature
should not be expected or even asked tc
deal hastily with them.
If the members of the Legislature
will settle down to hard work, and
make everybody else move promptly
the session may be ended before the first
Of April. II cannot come to an end toe
soon for the good of the people.

Governor Marvil has evidently made
mistake, and clearly gotten himself
into hot water by allowing the Higgins
schemers to make such lavish promises
of his prospective patronage, in further
ance of the interests Of their chief. 1t
is alleged, and with apparent truth, that
each office in Sussex county that Gov.
ernor Maryil will have at his disposal
has been promised to at least three
different aspirants in return for votes
or influence. What time the Cover.
nor will have in attempting to redeem
these reckless Higgins promises.

Mr.. Germans attempt in the United
States Senate, on Monday, to vindicate
himself from the public reproach visited
upon him since his betrayal of his peo-
pie and his party upon the tariff issue,
is held by the Baltimore Sun to be an
absolute failure. Tie only thing,
proved by his --latest deliverance, says
the Sun, is thing that needed no proof
that he is a high protectionlst, the
friend of capitalistic combinations and
monopolies, and that his logical place is
in the Republican party. We suggest
once more that he would make excellent
timber for Republican Presidential
candidate. Mr.Gorman's advisers should
save him from his self-vindications.
They form the most terrible indictments
that could be brought against him. The
Roman warrior when accused of wrong
doing pointed to the scars he had re-
ceivcd III the service Of his country.
Mr.. German, on the contrary, points to
the wounds which he has inflicted upon
his country as a vndication of his con
duct. OF one thing Mr.. German may
be absolutely sure. 1t is useless for him
to try to secure reversal of the public
Judgment in his case. 1t is as utterly
impossible for him to rcinstato himself
in the public confidence as it is for a
dead and buried man to rise from bis
grave. And his case is worse than that
Of the ordinary departcd-there is nc
hope Of resurrection for him, even il
the most distant future.

Few realize, editorially remarks the
Philadelphia Ledger, how much good
money the tramps cost this country.
Accurate estimates of the number OF
these nomads are difficult to obtain.
They are variable quantity, but the
number is formidable. In lecture de-
livcred in Boston recently by Professor
j. j. MCC0Ok. it was stated that there
are about 10000 male tramps wander
ing about in different parts of the coun-
try, eleven-tweifths of them being in
the prime OF life, that is, under so years
of age. These men, the most of whom
are able-bodied, half of them having
trades and nearly all Of them able to
read ana write, cost tho nation, accord
ing to conservative opinion, from
S5,0O0,000 to $l0,000,0o0 annually. This
is nearly half the cost of the navy.
While no subject has been more fire.
quently discussed than the tramp and
the means of his suppression, there are
no anti-tramp laws in existence in % of
the "A American States, none west Of the
States washed by the Mississippi, none
in any southern State excepting North
Carolina, Alabama and Mississippi. The
penalty under these laws varies from
three days to five years in the State
prison. The evil is patent, but no very
effective remedy has been discovered,
| Professor lcCook declared the labor
colony, IN the opinion of the authorities
of many foreign countries, Is one of the
most promising projects yet offered fol
the tramp nuisance.

PABIs. Jan. l5,-The news that NJ.
Cnsimir-p crier has resigned the presidency
of the French Republic has caused COM
plete panic in the political world for 1t
was entirely unexpected, except by the
most intimate friends Of the president,
who have always said that NJ. Casimir-
Perier would not submit to the personal
attacks which were being made on hand.
For the present no one is spoken oil as
his successor, who will probably be NJ.
Henri Brisson. Others say that NJ. Casimir-
Perier will reconsider his decision. For
my part, ! do not believe this last version.
At the clubs, in the Hobbies Of the
theatres, at the Jockey Club, where the
news was rapidly received this act of NJ.
Casimir-Perer is greatly blamed. 1t is said
solemnly that he is surrendering France
To the Radicals and to the Socialists, and
that he is committing an act of actual
cowardice. In the offices of the Radical
and Socialistic papers very considerable
JOY reigns.
Complete calm reign in the streets, where
the news Is not yet known.
In political circles several opinions are
to be met with. Same persons believe that
the resignation Of NJ. Casimir-Perier is the
prcsage of more serious events, such as
the arrest of certain deputies or the suspen-
sion of certain liberties. For my part this
seems to me to be false.
No one Gun penetrate into the interior of
the Elysee Palace, where the family of
the President are in conference with their
most intimate friends.
At the Ministry Of the Interior it is said
that the President sent in his resignation
owing TO the entreatles of Nine. Casimir-
Pericr and because of the difficulties he
experienced to-day in his efforts to form a
Ministry.
The i'onpress to elprt n now President
will meet az Versailles on Thursday.

The N.ea of the Treasury.

In the course of an editorial discussing
the financial condition Of the country
and the needs of the treasury, the New
York EesaiHg Post expresses the opinion
that it might still be possible for Con
gress to empower the Secretary of the
Treasury to take advantage Of the ex-
ceptionally favorable condition Of the
money market. If money is lent in
large amounts at per cent or less, why
should not tho government borrow at
that rate? If it be said that such money
is lent only upon demand or fer short
periods, the reply is that those are pre-
cisely the terms which will suit the gov
eminent. No one doubts that in short
time the revenue Of the government will
be in excess of its expenditure. The
surplus would then naturally be applied
to the payment of its debts, but the
debts created by issuing bonds cannot
be paid for many years 10 come, and
meanwhile the surplus will probably be
wasted as the last Republican admins
tration wasted it.
Were the Treasury authorized to sell
eXchequer bills, at such rates of Interest
as prevail from day to day, payable at
short terms or on demand, it is certainly
reasonable to believe that ii would
share in the benefit of the low rates
now existing. There is plenty of
money to loan, and it is scarcely cred
ible that the Treasury would not be
favored as borrower. Whatever may
be the ultimate solvency of the govern
ment, few would doubt that it would
honor its paper for few months and
before the present executive is displaced
the emergency will probably have
pissed. Whatever the ultimate stand
ard of value may be, we shall not see
any change while Mr.. Cleveland holds
office, and few bank presidents would
decline to lend on call to the govern.
mcnt at per cent when they could dc
no better with private customers. II
the Democratic party in Congress could
bring itself to propose such measure
as this, it would at least 90 out OF Office
with honor. If it does nothing to re
store the public credit, it will add dis
grace to defeat.

While it has the appearance of harsh
ness and cruelty to criticise an act that
results in saving human life, tho fact
cannot be denied that the respite granted
by Governor Reynolds to Michael Faino,
the condemned murderer who was
awaiting the death punishment in New
Castle jail, was an unwise exercise of
the executive clemency vested by the
Constitution in the Governor. 1t is no
fault of the Governors that the laws of
Delaware provide the death penalty for
murderers. That is responsibility
resting upon the Lawmakers of the
State. 1t was the Governors duty,
when application was made for his
favor, to simply inquire if there were
any circumstances in the case to throw
doubt upon the business of the con
dcmned mans conviction. If there
were not, he should not have interfercd
to prevent the judgment of the law from
being carried into effect. The crime
committed by Michael Faino was as
clear case Of murder in the first degree
as ever was proved in the courts of thi:
State, and there was never shadow Of
doubt that the verdict in his case was q
righteous one. But the Governor by
his act has virtually nullified the verdict
Of the jury, and by subjecting the man
to practically imprisonment for life
modified his crime to one of lesser
degree. There was not the slightest
ground for the action taken by the
Governor, and it will only prove another
reason for thankfulness that he has bu
a few more days during which to exer
else the pardoning power or any othe
function OF the high Office in which HI
has proved such conspicuous failure.
