Democratic SUCCESS is impossible. With
dissensions existing among them it may
come.
What has any Republican to gain by o
Democratic victory in this town? We
had one few years ago. Can any one Of
the Republicans who helped bring it
about remember any benefit direct or in
direct that accrued to him in oonse-
quence of it? Does any one of those Re-
publicans who have no personal axes to
grind, but simply desire that their votes
shall make for good government lecall
any Improvement in municipal admins
tration that came from that Democratic
victory Does he not recall that that nd
ministration was signalized by success
sion of petty scandals and wound up with
an attempt to perpetuate itself by mis-
cradle conspiracy, oondoned If not con-
nived at by prominent men in the party,
to falsify the count in Ward /? With the
recolleo ton of the conduct of the last
Democratic administration fresh In his
mind, how is it possible for any Repub-
lican who simply desires good govern
lnent to vote to place the Democratic
party in charge of the city Governments
Has the Democratic party shown any
signs of reformation during the past
three years which would entitle it to be
trusted after its outrageous abuse of pub
lie confidence during its last administra-
ton? Are not the m en- who ENGINEERED
the Ward / count out just as prominent
as ever?
How is it with Republicans who may
be affected more or less by selfish mo-
tives, if there be any such? Are they
likely to derive any personal advantage
from a Democratic administration? D id
not the last one sweep every Republican
out Of office that it possibly could, and
did it not put Democrats only on guard ?
1t acknowledged that its victory was
due to Republican assistance, but it no
sooner got power than it kicked every
Republican out and filled their places
with Democrats only. After election
the victory was nothing but Demo-
cratic one, and no Republican had any
standing whatever. 1t will repeat it's
performances this year if it gets a
chance. Republicans will be ooddled be-
fore election, acknowledgment of obli-
cations to them will be made on paper,
but it will be on paper only. After cleo
ton they will be ignored, and the city
government will become part of the
Democratic machine in a Presidential
year to be used to warm cold toed
Democratic boys and to belittls and en-
barrass Republican Presidential can
didate in his own city.

CURRENT COMMENT.
"LEST WE MAGNIFY TOM REED. {"
washington Post.)

We note with interest verging upon
wonder the statement that good many
Senators are hesitating as to their sup
port of the tariff bill, because they ap-
prehend that it's eaaction in to law may
contribute entirely too much to the
prestige of Speaker Reed. What with
one statesman holding up the relief Of
the treasury while he "twits" somebody,
and other statesmen looking askance at
the measure in fear that its passage mi y
reflect credit on som ebody else, the Sem
ate seems to be distinguishing itself just
now. 1t is RECALLING the country with
the display of motives, impulses, and aot-
uating considerations that would exactly
fit the intellectual and moral measure
of a kindergarten.
Let us say to these gent lemen, in the
hope-perhaps vain one-of reassuring
them, that whether the tariff bill gets
through the Senate or not. Mr.. Reed has
all the credit that cRD possibly attach to
him in this connection. When the Presi-
dent appealed to Congress for remedial
legislation as regards the national
finances Mr.. Reed, as the leader of the
Republican party in the House, at once
headed the patriotic movement of re-
Spouse to that appeal: He lent to the
passing the two bills designed to rehabil-
itate the treasury his efforts and his in
fiuenoe. He did it promptly, effectually,
in good faith. To the full extent Of his
power ana responsibility he acted the
part Of statesman. The American peo-
pie have seen this, and they admire and
THANH him accordingly. How can Mr..
Reed be personally harmed by the defeat.
or personally exalted by the triumph, of
the bill in the Senator He has discharged
his obligations In the premises, and
nothing that others may do or leave un-
done can obscure or mitigate that fact.
Senators may incur popular Odium by
defeating the tariff bill. Mr.. Reeds
place in the graft Iude and admiration of
She country is fixed. But what Inelan-
oholy spectacle this is--the spectacle of
Senators gravely celebrating az to their
course in the matter of national import
ance and hesitating over question of
plain duty because they fear that some
individual will be magnifed by them
Do they not see that the Senats's dis
grace in defeating the bill will only en-
phasize the Houses glory in having orig
mated and passed it? Do they not une
derstand that their delinquency will simp-
~ furnish a background for the patriotic
craftsmanship of which Mr.. Reed has
been the inspiration aud the actuating
force.

Charles B. Libby well said at the conven-
tion on Saturday, has been devoted to
the public interest and has conducted
city affairs with an eye single to the
public welfare. The action of the dele
gates who had preferred some other
candidate in accepting the result in good
temper, and moving to make Mr.. Baxter s
nomination unanimous, is an earnest
of the intention of all Republicans to
lay aside their differences now t hat the
nomination is made, and work harmoni-
ously for the success of the ticket.

The Portland daily press., 1896-02-17
The PRESS has received the following

I wish to ask a few questions about
government for information. The gov
eminent issues hundred dollar four per
cent 30 yearS bond how can l afford to
offer 10 for it, and how can anyone offer
me 100, how, when and where do I get
my margin, or does this man who buys
of me-? How much gold does the govern
ment get for the hundred dollar bond
7 bought? I cannot understand how
the government and the purchaser both
make money.
Nsither the government nor the pur-
chaser makss money out of this transac-
ton in the ordinary aoceptation of that
phrase. The transaction is one of borrow
ing and lending The government says
to the public: "Lend me 800, 600, 600 for
thirty years, and I will pay you four
per cent interest annually foi the use of
it and return the principal at the end of
that timer AS the security in tn
cass-the promise of the government-is
regarded as the very highest kind, the
rate of interest, in view of the security,
high too, great many people offer their
money to the government. Not only is
the public willing to lend its money,
but anxious. SO 1t comes about that
there is competition among the people
who have money TO loan to get the gov
eEnment to take their money; and
they begin to offer Inducements
One man is ready to say if
you will take my money I will
let you have it at 1-2 per cent interest:
another, I will letgyou have mine at 8,
and another, I will let you have mine
at 1-2. But the government says that
under existing law it must pay at least
FER cent interest on it's notes, or bonds,
which is merely another name. Then
the competitors resort to another method
OF inducing the government to take their
Money One says, II you will take my
money, l will give you 105 for your
promise to pay 100 with Der cent inter-
est on the 500. Another offers ITO and
another lis. This premium is simply an
indirect way of reducing the interest
that the government has to pay. Ii a
man pays 500 for 500 bond, bearing in
terest at per cent, the government pays
per cent interest upon it; but if he pays
Ito for 1T then the government does not
In reality pay per cent interest," but
little over 8 per cent; If he pays
$780, then the government pays only 1-3
per cent. Whether man can afford to
buy government bonds and give ITO for
bhem or 40, depends simply on whether
ne THINKS he can afford to be content
with the interest they will yield him.
1t viii not of course be high rate, but
1t must be borne in mind that the securi
ty is perfect. He is sure of getting his
money back, with interest. At
premium of 10 per cent the government
will receive s1lo, 600 gold for 500, 600.

Long Island Cigar Maker Also Paid
Thoir Board While Away and
Gave Former 'Employe Work.

!. Elizabeth, n. j., Sept 1s.-As an exam
pie of forgiveness. the case OF William
Schultz, OF Long Island City, is unique.
He is cigar dealer OF that city employing a
number of workmen Among the latter
wa is Thomas Pfal, Il you ng man OF decidedly
winning ways with the fair sex.
He made love to his employers wife,
Sophia, SO successfully that he deserted her
husband and eIoped with him, the couple
coming to t thisciGy Tor some son.
They went to board with John Scharfer, on
East Jersey street.
Pfal represented the woman, who is
preposs essiDg in appearance, as his wife
and told Schaffer. he intended to locate in
the cigar business here He was to ray
$40 week board for himself and S supposed
wife, and as he spent money freely and the
couple had four trunks, Schaffcr did not
trouble himself about money for board
until there was $40 due him. Tie. he
asked Pfal to pay his bill, and Pfal
couldn't or wouldn't.
Sehaffer wasted no time, but at once
went to Justice of che Peace Charles
Jacob, OF No. 661 Elizabeth avenue, and Sc
cured an order directing Pfal to appear
before the justice to show cause, If any
existed, why he should not pay the $50.
1t was at this juncture, two days ago,
that the wronged husband appeared on the
scene, not as the broken-hearted avenger
of a stained honor, but as an angel of
plenty. He ad traced his wife here, and
she was glad to see him. Life with Pfal
had lost its glamor, and she was more than
willing to return and be the mistress again
of the Hunters Point cigar business
Schultz was willing, and he did more He
told Pfal that he wasn't such a bad fellow
after all, and was a good cigarmaker so he
could come back TO his old job IL he would
romise not to run off with Mrs Sophia
Schultz again. Pfals pro missed, and the
husband and employer paid the $50 due
for board. of his wife end employe, and
Schaffer released the 70 ur trunks and
there is peace in the Long Island home
again.
