TAMu4NY AND Its BOLTERS.

The problem now before Tammany Is what
TO do with the renegades who deserted It's or
raniZation last summer and refused to JON IN
it's campaign on behalf of free silver ana free
riot Before election John {. Shcchan an
nounced with all the solcmnity OF majestic
proclamation that ''never. now or hereafter

maries. But though Sheehan may relenf, ana
with leaders practical eye to the future Try
TO give to the organization semDlancc OF
respectable adherents. his followers are not
equally tolerant. They see in the boilers men
who dared to have opinions OF their own, ana
they consider such men dangerous. Moreover.
they the untamed and nntclrfed, for the first
time find themselves actually in possession or
the organization through which they have
hitherto helped to put their old gold bug leaders
in office Those leaders having deserted them.
they themselves have chance of profit. which
they do not care to surrender. by taking back
men who would be likely again TO dominate
the situation. So the prodgas are not 10 re-
ceive the olive branch by unanimous acclaim.
The outcome of this difference Of opinion will
be watched with interest. The attitude Of
Tammany 10 the men who left it to work
against Bryan is important. But the attitude
of these men toward Tammany is vastly more
important. Everybody knows what Tammany
principle amounts to. No question of either
private or public morality is involved in its de-
cisiOn. Nothing but the desire 10 gain needed
votes to get another chance TO steal on the one
hand. and desire 10 confne future pickings
TO the smallest number on the other But an
issue Of right and wrong Is presented to every
gold Democrat who asks himself whether or
not he shall return TO Tammany-or 1t should
he presented. if his original revolt was dictated
by anything higher than political policy or per-
sonal business interest. The boilers threw off
their allegiance on the ground OF principle

clares for the Chicago platform, and they can
not turn around 10 place it once more upon its
feet without surrendcrng all that has made
their course honorable.
Some of the boilers from silver Tammany
were leaders who had done their full share in
promoting the rascalities which rave charac-
terized its domination of this city. but by far
the larger number were Democrats who sup
ported Tammany with more less zeal, al
though they could not be ignorant Of its evil
character, because 1t was the regular organza-
tion Of their party, and they pardoned its local
rascalities for the sake Of it's general policy.

never sought public office; but in the rare in

him with such fidelity and such signal ability
as to cause general regret that political condl-

known TO the members of the Legislature ana
the citizens Of the State. As to his qIalliicatlohs
for the Office Of United States Senator there are
differences Of opinion. For although he has
once held that position. it for so short
time that he hardly had the opportunity to de-
vclop his capacity. His ability in other drec-
tions is generally known ana recognZed In
that regard members of tlsc Legislature do not
stand in need of enlightenment If. i'll Their
Judgment the United States Senate offers Il lai'

him TO possess and if they believe that in point
of ability to represent the great State OF New
York in that august body he is the superior OF

to his trust. they will make him their choice
Meanwhile the merits Of the contest are not
at all affected by the action or non-acton OF the

4 SCHEME WHICH CAN WAIT.

The annual budget contains an allowance OF
Sill 900 for the rent of rooms in private bulid-
ingS used by publi, departments. THIS Item Is
suggestive of what might have been ana oi
what doubtless will be hereafter. but not. we
think. of what ought 10 be jus, al present. The
sum provided for rents is equivalent TO the IN

and. moreover. it probably would have been
done in some fashion If Tammany admlnfstra-
tons had no, obsinately misinanaged the a'lalr
and ultimately compelled the Legislature 10 ca"
halt in obedience TO popular sentiment. bu'
the situation has been modified i'll important
partjculars by the course Of events ana having
waited SO long. the city can better afford to wall
longer than to begin building operations on
huge scale under existing conditions.

mand.ad and ought 10 be built as soon as pos
sible. Here Is one reason why wv cannot accept

larger scheme for modern City Hall: but there
are two conclusive arguments against taking up
the latter projec, at all for the present. one Is
that the burdens which the community 10 now
compellcd to bear are quite heavy enough and
the general sentiment is opposed 10 any increase
of the load which is not Indispensable. The other
is that nobody can foresec what the require
ments of the public business will be after con-
soldation has become an accomplished fact.
There will be time enough To talk seriously. ana
opportunity to talk to some purpose, about a
new CITY Hall when we have learned under what
sort of municipal government we are TO hvc'
and where It's multifarious processes are to be
carried on. 1t is scarcely conceivable. we admit,
that Greater New-York will be permitted To use
less room in the management of its affairs than
tbe several communities OF which il is to be com
posed now Jointly occupy, but what the requisite
space maE be and how it shall be distributed are
questions which cannot be answered for good
while to come.

PLANTING TNDT STRY.

What would be thought Of the farmer who
should refuse to plant his fertile field, and leave
ii idle and barren through the year. because he
could not bear 10 sacrifice the good wheat re-
quircd for seed? But he would he not more
stupid than the Democratic member Of Congress
who told n witness ~ the first tariff hearing on
Monday: Then You are asking us 10 tax the
"whole people of the United States more than
20 per cent on an article Of very wide Use in
'Ordcr 10 accommodate an industry which EN-
"ploys just fifty operatives" There were acu-
ally some persons on the committee who thought
the remark not foolish. But the planting of an
industry. Of a field. requires some sacrifice
Of seed. The only question a man of sense would
ask is whether the return to br reasonably an
ticpaicd for sacrifice and labor will he suf
cient for ample repayment. In exactly the same
narrow spirit Democratic members of Congress
in 1890 denounced the advance of duties on Tin
plates because it would tax the people more than
20 per cent in order to accommodate an indus
try which then employed no operatives what
ever. But now il saves millions To the coun-
try and gives employment to 50oJO PERSONS
Free-Trade heresies blind men to the fact that
the establishment of an industry enrches tlr
whole country With narrowness of mind
scarcely conceivable they refuse 10 think Of
anything but the opportunity which some indi-
vidlial may get for putting his capital and skill
into new and costly plants. and persist that
the only question is whether 7OOOOOOO pco-
pie should be taxed To give profit TO one man.
There was not even one man To derive benefit
when the tnplate duties were proposed: not one
had yet put money into the necessary works.
and the opportunity was the same for every
body. But no man Of sense could fail to see
that the production Of 100000 tons of tinplates
here, instead OF abroad. would afford increased
demand for the labo- of Americans for miners
OF more than million tons of ore, for miners
Of coal and limestone. for transporters of ore
and coal, for workers In iron furnaces. for work
