New-York tribune., 1896-05-25

Controller Roberts made up his mind some
time ago not TO pay the salaries Of the so-called
confidential agents appointed by the State Excise
Commissioner. on the ground that they were not
appointed in constitutional manner. lie holds,
very properly. that they should have Deeh
selected after competitive examinations. in ac-
corJlance with the strict provision OF the Con-
stltution as amended. In support OF his position
he has secured the opinions Of a number of emil
nent lawyers which he intends to give TO the
press to-day. The lawyers consulted are MesSrs
Dorman b. Eaton, Everett p. Wheeler and Emu
Root of this city: Mr.. John G.. Milburn, or Bur
falo. and Mr.. Matthew Hale Of Albany. Ihey
all agree that competitive examinations in these
cases were perfectly practicable. and some OF
them hold that the Legislature had no power 70
pass law that could not be constitutionally car
ricd out through lack of time. The Controiier
action will carry the question before the courts,
which have already established an important
precedent for their own guidance.
New-York tribune., 1896-05-25
1T WON'T BE A CALAMITY.

II now seems probable that Mr.. Thomas G.
Platt will not be In the confidence OF the next
Federal Administration. To many very active
Republicans s-as, for instance, Edward lauter'
bach Amasa Thornton, Lou Payn Abraham
Gr1,ber and Frederick GbbS-this no DOUBT,
seems unfortunate. The confidential relations
existing between Mr.. Platt and the present
State Administration have justified these states
men In assisting the Legislature with their coun-
sci and strengthening the Governor by the
weight Of their moral influence, and 1t has not
been improbable. They naturally view with
alarm the election OF a Republican President
whose relations with Mr.. Platt are more likely
to be strained than confidential.
Still. il is we'll 10 bear in mind that such
state Of affairs would not necessarily involve
a political calamity. 1t would not be by any
means n new condition. On the contrary,
Republican National Administration with which
Mr. Platt was on coniil, njial, or even friendly,
terms would be an anomaly. He has been at
locgerheads with every Republican Adminisira-
ton for twenty years. beginning with President
Hayes He could not keep peace even win
President Arthur. with whom he had every r"a-
son TO be friendly. but fell ont with him imm"dl-

FRANCES GREAT CONFLICT.

The conflict between the Senate and the Cham
Der OF Deputies in France has for a time sub
sided. 1t is by no means ended. On the con-
trary, all that has occurred is to be regarded as
merely the prelude 10 Il further and incompara-
bly, fercer struggle. This latter may not be be-
tween the two houses, as houses. Indeed, that
Of few weeks ago was scarcely such. 1t will
be, as that was, between Republcanism and
Socialism, the latter seeking the destruction OF
the former through the abolition OF the Senate
and Presidency, the revision Of the Constitn-
ton, and the re-establishment of the Revolution
ary Convention Of 1893 Such a struggle has
long been in progress. 1t began with the revolt
of the priest-murdering and petroeum-plyi
Socialists against the young Republic in 1871.
1t has troubled French politics almost incessant-
ly from that day to this But the present or re-
cent nter-cameral episode marks the develop
ment Of new phase Of It. The Opposition
meaning the Socasts-are now being organized
as never before. NJ. Bourgeois, by no means
reconciled TO his defeat at the hands OF the Re
publican Senate, has put himself definitely al
the head of a League whose object is nothing
short Of revolution. And NJ. Bourgeois Is one OF
the most astute political managers In France.
The Republicans on their side, are at once
fortunate and unfortunate in their present lead
er. They are fortunate, because in NJ. Meline
they have statesman Of clear and discerning
vision, Of sound judgment and of exalted char
acter. He is the foremost exponent in France

MONEY AND BTSINESS.

Wall Street has refused 10 go into a panic for
the convenience OF Mr. Platt. and although the
stock market is dull, prices have advanced for
the sixty most active railroad stocks an average
of 73 cents per 500 and FOR the Trust stocks q
cents per share. 1t is trte that, as usual OF late
an abeurdly disproportionate part OF the dealings
was In Sugar. more than third OF the whole
and in that stock. Tobacco. Gas. Leather and
Electric more than half of oil the sales were
made-3G63i3 shares-against less than 200 600
in the seven most active railroad stocks and
$4,000 in all others. Such market Is instruct
I've only In a negative sense; but negatively It
was very useful last week In proving that the
scare which some newspapers and bankers have
been trying to blow lrto flame really amounted
to nothing. 1t Is not strange that Sugar ad-
vanced cents during the week. for the great
decrease in production OF raw sugar caused by
the Cuban rebellion has a natural effect on the
market here. and the foresight of the Sugar
Company In buying enormous quantities from
abroad in good season is rightly rewarded The
monopoly Is highly objectionable but II has
sense. and 1t may be added that the monopolies
which last over night generally have sense.
The outgo OF gold. 81. 7G9,57J for the week, was
correctly interpreted due to foreign rather
than domestic causes. Russia and Germany
wanted the gold and were prepared to pay for IT,
Still it Is equally true that the precious metal
would not have gone out from this country unless
he state OF foreign trade had been such as to
make specie exports convenient Rarely has
there been stronger evidence OF the great extent
OF foreign undervaluatons OF imports than now
