In New York.

TT is plain to see that many of New
l-ork's prominent democrats propose
to take advantage of the republic
can ruction: their talk is that all Is
harmony and that no personal rivalries
will be tolerated The stake is large;
next years election will decide the ques-
ton of supremacy in nearly all of the
state offices; ii will settle the question
OF federal senatorship; 1t will put the
Empire state on record for the last time
prior to the national contest of 1900.
Chairman Danforth, of the democratic
state committee. is one of the men who
are permitting themselves to be heard
in prophecy of complete democratic
harmony. He says that there is moth
ing in the talk of a misunderstanding
between Mr.. Hill and Senator Murphy.
John b. Stanchfield is talking. He
wants to be governor. he is one of Mr.
Hills closest friends. He says that
there'll be no quarrel. but that If Mr.
Murphy wants to be senator, he will
have Hilfs support. That talk, how
ever, doesn't amount to much; Senator
Murphy, unless his health greatly inn
proves is not likely to be senatorial
candidate; he is quite an invalid
The best pointer respecting Mr.. Hill
presented itself last week, when the
question Of democratic leadership in the
legislature was under discussion. Mr..
Hill wanted his Office to go to his par
ticular friend. Assemblyman Palmer.
The post has been assigned to Assem-
blyman Donnelly. and the Hill people
are accepting the arrangement with the
best possible grace.
BY and by a more serious question
than that of leadership will press itself
on the question of these New York
democrats. The style of tactics to
which Mr.. Hill resorted will not apply
next time. The party leaders will lind
| themselves compelled To line up on
| the silver issue, all their politics for
next year depends on what they pro-
! pose to do by word and deed with the
| Chicago platform.

He Was Right.

~ FNATOR ALDRICH can forget
~ more that relates 10 tariff legis-
- lation than most of the men who
had much to do with the Dinsley biil
ever knew or ever will know. The sub
iect is one with which the senator is
thoroughly familiar. He had charge OF
the Dingley bill after il came from the
house of representatives, last summer,
and he Immediately began radical re-
vision of it, His chief reason for THIS
was his own well-hxed conviction that
the bin never would yield the revenue
expected of il: besides, he thought that,
in essential respects. the Dingley plan
was theoretically wrong.
While Mr. Aldrich was in the saddle,
the senate so changed the tariff sched-
ules as To leave the measure altogether
unlike itself, as il came from the house.
But when considerable progress had
been made, Senator Aldrich became ILL.
He reluctantly surrendered the charge
of the bill, he was soon obliged to alb
sent himself from the senate sessions,
with the result that the Dingley bill
was not at all what the senator had
proposed to make IT.
AS long as he was running the bill
in the senate, Mr.. Aldrich insisted that
the Dingley plan would not earn within
millions Of the amount claimed in It's
behalf Mr. Dngley and his friends as
serted that they knew better. The
event Is proving that Mr.. Dinghy
didn't know very much about II any
how and that Senator Aldrioh, whose
warning was not needed was by fat
the better guide.

~HE news respecting Librarian
Spofford is of the kind that is
particularly well suited to the
holiday season, because it is news that
all good people like To hear. Time out
of mind he had been in charge of the
congressional library. a shortage in his
accounts was discovered. No expert
was able to find out when it began,
how much ii amounted to or what the
method was.
Indeed, il became evident that Lii

in confusion. But there was the short
age--it was figured at more than $40. 900.
Those who knew Mr.. Spolford felt sure
that he had not been dishonest. An in
quiry revealed the confusion that re-
suited from his management. and when
the sum that was due from him was
ascertained as closely as possible. he
made it good
Since the work of removing the books
from the old congressional library in the
capitol To the new library building was
begun some interesting disclosures bear
ing upon Librarian Spofford's case have
been brought to light. In drawer of
Mr.. Sponords private desk was found
$500 in currency ana a number of
checks. Another drawer was filled with
postal money orders, some Of which
were for sums as high as $500. \ num-
Der of bundles of postal orders We're
also found in drawers in other desks of
the office of the librarian. Some of these
orders bore dates far back as 1870
and We're for accounts ranging from 81
up 10 several hundred dollars.

* PEAKER REED is deNeiopihs
~ critics in a new quarter. THESE
~ are goldbugs: they were un-
stinted in their praise of his dictatoriai
methods during this years extraordi-
mary session because. just then, his pol
tcy happened to suit their purposes;
they are goldbugs of the Gage school.
But il bids fair to be different this
winter These people want legislation
along the line mapped out by Secretary
Gage They insist thar the house OF
representatives shall be put on record IN
favor of retiring the greenback and IN
support of the policy that proposes TO
enlarge the functions of the banks. They
urge that the currency is in aWfully pad
shape. that ii needs reforming and that
they stand for the right kind of reform;
they have been expecting the speaker,
by the fiat of his style of speakership,
TO make the house Of representatives
declare for them-thev have no doubt
of MIR. Reeds ability 80 put the house
on record for whatever happens to
suit him.
Reports that are good deal louder
TO the effect that Speaker Reed Is going
TO disappoint these people. He Is a good
enough goldbug. but he is not their kind
Of goldbug the times are developing
goldbugs of several varieties. BY his
words as well as his recent actions. Mr.
Reed has made il pretty plain that he
is not intending to put the administra-
lions plan through He asserts that the
house republicans cannot be brought
during the present session into harmonl-
Gus action respecting radical changes
in the currency. If he persists--and he
may be counted on to do tha:-it will
not be said that the senate blocked the
administration plans manifestiy these
plans are not in favor with Speaker
Reed himself.
So. of course. the Gage goldbugs pitch
into Speaker Reed They score him for
the very traits which little while ago
they We're lauding. These criticisms

republican newspapers that base done
