WHAT TAMMANY WILL DO.

If there has ever been any doubt rs
to the position Tammany will take in
the coming election il is not now the
case. This great organization will
throw its influence and support to tho
Chicago ticket and the best evidence
that this is fact is found in the fol-
lowing statement. made by Secretary
McGaldrick, of Tammany's General
Committee. in an interview with rep
resentative of the New York Herald n
day or so ago, when Mr.. McGaldrick
said:
We are going to give the ticket an
oihciai endorsement. and we will turn
IN and roll an just as heavy majority
Tor Bryan and Sewall as we would If a
New York man We're on the ticket. The
Democrats will carry the State of New
York and they will elect their candi-
dates.

This Is truly an interesting question,
but does the Recorder really mean TO

going 10 have a force bill? Some other
Republican journals. more cautious

that such is not the fact. The Recorder.

AN IMPORTANT RULING.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion la; just handed down an important
ruling; in II case before II where two rail-
road and two steamship companies were
charged with unjust discrimination in
fixing freight rates. The matter came
up upon complaint of the Lynchburg
Board Of Trade, and the ruling of the
Commission was that when rates are
relatively unjust, so that undue prefer
cncc Is afforded to one locality, or undue
prejudice results to another. the law is
violated and its penalties incurred, al
though the higher rate is not inself ex-
cessive:'a and such Il rule liz especially APP
rlicable where II given relation in rates,
long continued and conccdedly equita-
bic, is suddenly and almost completely
reversed, merely because other carriers
10 the longdistancc point have disre-
sarded their duty"
Section fourth of the act to regulate
commerce empowers the Commission to
modify the law in cases where 1t is clear
that an unjust discrimination has been
exercised. and the Commission. taking
advantage OF the fact ruled accordingly.

Mr. George w. Smalley, in letter to
the New York Herald. refers to the CORE
spondcnce between Secretary Olney and
Lord Salisbury concerning the arbitra-
ton of matters in dispute between the
United Stats and England. saying:
ION neither side IS there any thought
OF imposing any humiliation on the other,
or of exact!ng any SURF nder. Both
want an adjustment of the whole matter
suitable to the dignity OF both nations.
and there Is nothing IN the contentious
OF either Lord Salisbury or Mr. Olney
to prevent either from agreeing speedily
upon peaccahle solution
This is right. Why should there be
any settlement other than a peaceablc
one between the two great English speak
ing nations?
Why should either nation seek 10 hu.
initiate the other in the adjustment OF
the Venezuelan matter or any Other? 1t
is quite certain that Secretary Olney de-
s'res TO avoid anything unpleasant. and
according to Mr.. Smalley. Lord Salisbury
feels in the same way
This being a fact. there need be no
fear shat any settlement other than a
peaceable on will result from the con-
t'oversy so long pending.

THE REV. MIR. DECKER MAYRErIRE

At the second days session OF the Newark
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church
in Newark yesterday the charge against the
Rev. f. ID. Decker of the South Market Street
Church IN Newark of kissing one OF his flock
was acted on. The formal accusation was indis-
erection in conduct toward one Of the members
OF his church. and it was brought up by Presid-
ing Elder S. p. Hammond. Mr.. Decker, who Is
% years old, confessed his indiscretion last
September to a committee of clergymen. Al
though a married man, he had been guilty Of
kissing and corresponding with O young woman
of the church.
William w. SANFORD. a relative Of the young
woman. brought charges against him which he
did not deny when confronted by the
appointed to look into the matter. DR.. Ham
mond delivered the finding Of this committee to
the Conference yesterday, but IT. did rot find
favor, and another committee Of five was APP
pointed to go over the voluminous documents
In the case. The Rev. Mr.. Decker, though I'M

After a deliberatiOn OF several hours the new
committee announced a finding satisfactory to
both sides. Its mildness Is what
