COMPROMISE PROBABLE.
Three Years May Be Given Rail
roads to Apply Safety Equipments.


Washington, Dec. 3-The hearing
given by the interstate commerce COM
mission on the question of extending
the time in which the railroads of the
country may comply with the provis-
ions of the car coupler and train brake
act was concluded at noon today. The
commission intends to take some sup
Elementary testimony under oath be-
fore coming to a decision. There seems
to be no doubt whatever that an eX-
tension will be granted, and that the
extension will be general in character,
the hearing having demonstrated that
any discrimination would fall as
heavily on roads which have complied
with the law as on those which have
thus far disregarded it The general
impression among the railroad men and
labor leaders who were in attendance
at the hearing, is that the extension
granted by the commission will be a
compromise. The railroad representa-
tives asked for five years, with the
condition that one-ffth of the un-
equipped rolling stock of each company
should be equipped each year, and the
representatives of the railroad organ
izations protested against an extension
in excess of three years. Three years
| is generally believed to be the maxi
mum which the commission will grant
The commission is evidently in great
doubt as to their ability to impose con-
ditions on an extension and it may be
that they will grant but a years eX-
tension at the time, with the under
standing that against those roads who
do not complete the yearly portion of
/ their equipment during that period, the
/ law shall become operative.

THE MAYOR AND TIE COUNCIL.

The Tribune seems to think that it
has discovered a great big mares nest
as to what is the intention of the Dem
ocratic leaders and the Democratic
members of the city council in the
matter Of confirmation of the mayor
elects appointees to Office. 1t says
that Cor two or three city administra-
tons there have been war and clash
ings between the mayor and the city
council: It Is the case at present, and
has been Tor some time; that this is one
Of the irksonle and annoying things the
people tried to lid themselves OF by the
non-partisan movement that resulted
in the election Of Mr.. Clark to be
mayor; but that still it appears that the
contentious referred TO are just the
sort of thing the political triclosters
like; for they are now, it appears. at
work on scheme in behalf of the heel
ers to foster like differences and bick-
erings in the coming administration
The Dretext Cor this is the patronage,
says our contemporary, and the scheme
appears to be to ask the majority
members OF the council to lay down
an ultimatum to Mr.. Clark. whereby it
viii be demanded OF him that he divide
the patronage with them, conceding
them half the places, or else they are
TO refuse TO confirm the mayors noini-
nees.
We fancy our contemporary has
erected a scarecrow OF its own make.
that it might have a chance to take a
shot at it, hoping thereby to make the
people believe that il has discovered
and killed a real, live danger.
II the people were so greatly in love
with the non-partisan movement and
were so anxious Tor its triumph, why
didn't they elect d non-Dartisan city
council and other officers?
The chickering's ana unseenaly conten-
lions that have existed between the
mayor and council in the PAST are to
be deprecated and condemned. and
their repetition in the future would be
an evil: it viii doubtless be the aim
of the mayor and council to avoid any
such thing. But all disagreement is
not a pickering nor an unseemly con-
tention, and disagreement can be made
known in quite as proper and dignified
q way as agreement; and if disagree
ments should come between Mr.. Clark
and the council, is it to be assumed
that he will always be right and the
council wrong? The people did not put
their confidence in him any more than
in the members of the council: he has
/ his duties and responsibilities and they
have theirs. It is not to be presumed
/ that he will undertake to dictate tC
the council. nor that the council viii
undertake to dictate to him. The ain
of the mayor and council should be the
furtherance of the public good; and il
is only fair to presume that such vii
be their aim until it is shown to be
| otherwise.

he was given no opportunity whatever
to defend himself against the charges,
but was prejudged.
And what is the inference from all
this? It IS that Mr. Bowen was dis
ciplined by mis- immediate ecclesiastical
superiors because he vas working for
the success OF ticket that they did
not approve. 1t IS common knowledge
that in the First municipal ward the
local ecclesiastical authorities were
against the Wilson Critchlow ticket,
and favored the Wilscn-Symons ticket,
and for the sole reason that Mr.. Sy-
mons is a member OF the Mormon
church. It is also well known that in
the Fifth municipal ward two Mormon
bishops worked very hard against the
regular ticket. The ticket put UP by
Mormons and Gentiles irrespective of
party lines. and in favor of q surrep-
titious ticket containing the names of
two Mormons. the regular ticket bear
ing the names of two Gentiles.
1t is understood that Mr.. Bowen has
been q teacher in his ward for some
years. Is it not rather strange that he
should have been found practicing de-
ception for the first time on election
day? Taking the facts in Mr.. Bowen's
case, and then taking other well known
facts that occurred on election day, and
the Inference is warranted that Mr.
Bowen was dropped as a teacher be-
cause Of his political action, and for no
ether reason. 1t is an iilegitimate use
of ecclesiastical power to discipline &
citizen because of his political action

CLOSURE IN THE SENATE.

There is hardly a session of congress
that the question of amending the rules
of the senate does not come up; when
it does come up, the chief point in
volved is whether they shall he so
amended as to permit the calling for
the previous question, in other words,
whether debate shall cease and q vote
be taken. Now, this question does cot
come up in the senate itself, bug usual
~ in the press. The assumption mas
been that there never was sucn a
thing in the senate as moving the pre-
vious question. This. it appears, is a
mistake, and has been pointed ouC as
such by the Critic in a review Of OK
President Harrison's recent hook, This
Country of Ours,' the ex-president
falling into the popular error. The
Critic quotes q rule in force IN the
senate OF the first congress, which was
as follows:
In case of a debate becoming tedious,
four senators may call for the ques-
lion; or the same number may at any
time move for the previous question
viz, Shall the main question now tbe
put?'
1t is said the rule was invoked many
times It seems stringent, but it is
quite likely that debate under it was
much more direct and to the point
than it often is today, for when it was
in force the sessions OF the senate were
secret, thus making it impossible to
talk to the galleries rather than
to the question. There were no
open sessions of the senate until Feb
ruary IA, 1894, and the closure rule was
abrogated during the time that secret
sessions We're in vogue; why it was
abrogated is not known, but undoubt-
edly it was because it was found to
work injuriously to genuine freedom
of debate that it could easily be made
an instrument of party tyranny.
There have been times when the
right Of debate in the senate has been
abused, and many times when it was,
no doubt, seemingly abused when in
reality it was not. 1t always seems to
be abused when there is earnest and
protracted debate on an important
matter which one party or the other
is extremely anxious TO have action en-
and which involves grave consequent
ces. Far more good than evil has re-
suited from freedom of debate in the
senate. It would augur i'll for repre-
sentative government were the senate
placed under such tyrannical control
as the house is now under; there is a
tyranny of majorities quite as bad as
that of any crowned desDot
Undoubtedly the discovery of this
closure rule viii have a tendency to
inspire some agitation in favor of the
adoption of a similar one by the senate
and all the changes will be rung on the
force that precedent in this matter
should have. The discovery of this old
rule will surely stir up the whole ques-
ton of closure IN the senate.

SOME EDITORIAL COMMENTS.

Chicago Times-Herald: Another reason
for the retirement of the [silverl certif-
icates is that the banks, when they ac-
cumulate any considerable quantity of sill
Yer dollars, instead OF trying to keep them
III circulation and paying them out over
the counter, dump them back into the
Sub-treasury and obtain certificates for
them, usually in the large denominations.
Thus in every way they operate against
the silver dollar as circulating medium
St Louis Republic: No American should
be allowed TO perish of hunger in the
Klondike If it is possible for his govern
ment to prevent such fate. True pio-
neer blood is TOO scarce, even at its best
to be needlessly lavished by people who
have such a future of territorial develop
mant as still awaits Americans.
Pittsburg Dispatch: Germany's assault
upon Hayti is rather far-fetched, when
the alleged citizen of Germany, in whose
born in the republic, with no other claim
to German citizenship than that his
father is Il German.
Boston Herald: Charlotte Smith has
struck it now. She will appeal to con-
gress for the establishment of a national
matrimonial bureau, with a national COM
missioner of matrimony to encourage and
promote marriages. Congress might do
worse than consider the subject. Probably
it would accommodate the public interest
quite as well as the consideration of lingo
resolutions, annexation projects or plans
for currency reform. Give Mrs. Smith the
floor!

ter declares the taking of the next census
should be placed in the hands of compe-
tent persons. This is the first intimation

Philadelphia Ledger: The resignation
of Count Badeni, the Austrian premier,
was forced by the dangers of the situation
in Vienna. He has stirred up such a
hornets nsst of opposition that there
would have been danger of serious riots,
if not revolution, had the sessions of the
reichsrath been continued under his lead
| ership. What the outcome will be, no
one can foresee. but race prejudices have
been aroused to such a degree. that 1t
would be difficult to maintain The union
of Austria and Hungary on the old terms,
and equally difficult to amend them.
