STILL PLAYING BUNCO.

The .ntmations coming from Albany that the
machine Republicans ere chucklng In their
sleeves over the prospect Of buncoing the indie
pendents once more in the primary bill, upon
the provisions Of which Mr.. Elihu Root and
other members Of the Union League Club have
been in consultation with the Governor and Re-
publican leaders in the Legislature, may or may
not be well founded At first blush It seems
almost incredible that the Plat-Quigg people
should have learned so little from their recent
experience as TO suppose that they can gain any
advantage In future elections by hugger-mug
gerlng scheme to bupco the gentlemen whom
they have been 80 anxious 10 draw into con-
ference They should know by this time that
doubledealIng OF that sort Is sure to return 10
plague the inventors and that. however sue
cessful they may be in tricking the eager
Republicans who have confided In their pro-
fessions and protestatons to such an extent
az to meet them Oh equal terms and treat them
as honest men actuated by honorable motives
their sharp practice IS sure 10 be exposed
eventually. and In the end defeated at the polls
Their actual triumph Will be Of very brief dura.
tion They may beat the people In the Legls-
lature, but the voters whom they plot to deceive
will have their revenge in the elections
without being sangune. The Tribune has
been hopeful tina, the machine politicians who
are so obviously In control Of the present Legis-
laturc-and perhaps OF the Governor we'll
might consent TO the passage Of primary law
honest In purpose and SO equitable and Just in
its operation as 10 remove all causes Of COM
plant, put all Republicans on q common foot
ing and make an end OF the scandals which
have dsgraced the party management for some
years past. II has TO be admitted however,
that the chances have been and still are heavily
against any such outcome The reason for this
may be found in The fact that the Platt-Quigg
managers are determined either to rule or ruin.

Even the suspicion of laxty In these college
contests should not lie tolerated. The amateur
who leans In the least toward professionalism
should be sternly excluded.
HATRED INSTEAD or JUSTICE.

The desire for Justice Is one Of the noDiest
aspirations OF the human mind. Hatred IS one
of the most savage passions. In the noteworthy
trial which has Just come to an end In fariS
one side was animated by the former the other
by the latter That fact is unmstakable Ana
the fact that the side moved by desire for JUS
tce has been defeated and the side moved by
mere brutal hatred has triumphed Is dlscreui'h'
BILE and ominous.
From the beginning NJ Zolas appeal ana the
anneaIs of all on that side Of the case nave
been for a letting in Of light upon DARK piaceS
and the doing Of exact and unmstakaDle JUS
t,co That has been the demand at every stage
OF the campaign There was no cohceiVaole
susnicion of INV other motive. Not a word OF
nroiudce or Of mere hatred has been uttered
The famous IL accuse" was prompted by 10
animositv toward the accused, but by gen
orous desire to undo the wrong they had DONE
II was IN rescue and to vindicate man be-
lieved To he innocent, not to punish nor to dis
grace onv one else that VI. Zola wrote that let
ter. So all through the trial he has strven not
so much to fix the guilt upon any one eiSe aS
to remove the imputaton of it from Captain
Dreyfus.
ON the other hand hatred has been the key
note OF the prosecution. Even 'hS """oN ~
tho bench was not free from 1t IN his grossly
unfair rulings against the defendant. Inc army
officers who staggered about the court anu
dictated the conduct Of the Judge showed IL
in every word they spoke and every outDurst
Of disorder which they provoked ana ehcoul-
aged As for the mob and the press, their pias
has never been in doubt. There have Deeh no
cheers for justice, no cries or Let 'he uu''
prevailr' No: but instead there have been cries
Of hatred for NJ. Zoa, hatred for Captain Dfey-
fus hatred for the Jews, and hatred for all who
do not share in these abhorrent passions Ana
these cries and these passions of the mop nave
prevailed.
That il the shameful fact Let II not be I'M
agined for one moment tnat those VINO nave
been raving against NJ. lola and Captain Drey-
fms have any regard for the honor or the army
ar of France The notion is grotesque. Inc
sole motive that anmates them IS hatred
AGAINST n race. with the consequent desire 10
onnress that race and steal It's goods. II Is
"I}urrah for the army. Down with the Jews
II IS Long live the Republic. Let us LOOT the
shons and houses Of the Jews" And 10 pro-
n,ote this d,abolica batting the Jew-haters are
crediblv to be suspected of having conspired to
fix upon an innocent man the guilt Of one or
their own number, in order TO bring discredit
unon his race and 10 rouse the passions or the
moh AGAINST II There Is In modern history
uttIc more mournful than that the Government
Of France should have been led to lend Itself 10
the countenancing Of such wrong.

ONE EACT.

The attempt to deduce positive conclusions
from mere gossip about the secret proceed
ings OF the Court of Inquiry at Havana Is still
continued IN some quarters; but the Secretary
Of the Navy officially announces that the De-
partment has no news which has not been pub
Hshed and again declares that public opn-
Ion should be suspended until essential facts
have been made known. The country has
from the first exercised that restraint Of judy
ment In creditable manner. and will pre-
eumably maintain waiting attitude so long as
that attitude is becoming But inasmuch as
the few professional flre-eaters In evidence are
now proclaiming that all the evidence points to
treachery Oh the part Of one or more Spaniards.
and are apparently deriving satisfaction from
the belief that the verdict which they base on
evidence largely invented by themselves will
spread and lead TO war. 1t may be well TO re-
mind all who mean to retain possession Of their
faculties that absolute proof Of treachery on the
part Of one or more Spanards would not neces-
sarlly lead to war. Thus far there Is no reason
TO doubt but every reason to believe, that in
such case the Spanish Government would in
stantly and completely dsavow completely in
the crime and offer acceptable guarantees Of its
good faith.
This belief is supported by a thousand times
more evidence than can be brought to warrant
contrary assumption. For amid all the wild,
unsustained, contradictory and malicious talk
about the disaster one certain fact stands
proved Since the moment of its occurrence
the demcanor of everybody authorized to rep
resent the Spanish Government In any place
has been faultless. In Madrid in Havana. in
Washington and In the harbor Of New-York the
men by whose acts and utterances the Spanish
nation could possibly be committed have
scrupulously discharged every obligation Of
friendship. courtesy and humanity. That all
this is preliminary to a confession Of monstrous
guilt-to the adoption Of a fiend's act into the
policy Of a government-is to a sane mind al
most nconceivable. Such a suspicion without
further warrant dshonors every one by whom It
Is cherished

PUNISH TILE SAYAGES.

The attack on the postoffice at Lake City
S. c.. differs in degree, but not in kind, from
that made In the same State on Fort Sumter
IN 1850 Then the South Carolina populace, being
incensed at the policy Of the Federal Govern
ment, rebelled against its authority and at
tackled It's representatives Now the populace
Of a section Of South Carolina, being likewise
iDcensed az the policy Of the Federal Govern
ment, has made an armed attack upon one Of
It's Offices and murdered its representative there
stationed. This interference with its functions
this violence toward one Of its servants can no
more be tolerated now than II could be forty
years ago. This murdered negro was humble
functionary in an obscure office, but in his
sphere and for his duties he was as much the
embodiment; of the dignity and authority Of the
Government as the President Of the United
States. and was just as much entitled to pro-
lection in his performance Of Government work
1t may be that the wisest possible selection
was not made for a postmaster at Lake City
A section Of the population evidently objected
most seriously 10 getting their letters from him.
But that fact can have absolutely no bearing
on the question. In 1850 thousands thought
that the wisest possible selection had not been
made for President, and large sections Of the
population objected 10 having their Executive
Department managed by Abraham Lincoln.
In their long fight against him they did moth
Ing more horrible and inhuman than these
later-day rebels did to the poor negro post
master. This Is n patient and long-sufrering
country. In no other civilized nation would the
administrative authorities permit their servants
to be maltreated and their business intcrfered
with as ours have done through many years
out of a ccytain good-natured liberation Of popu
lar disorder In this way our Republican
theory has been wrongly applied A public
functionary, instead of being more respected
because he represents the people, seems to be
thought less Of than II he had some more
doubtful commission People appear to regard
r!oting when II is crime against themselves
as slight offence Too long has this idea been
permitted 10 spread. Sooner or later lawful
authority Will have 10 fight for existence by re-

! They are politicians, too Of the Bourbon stamp
who learn nothing and forget nothing. They
continue to think that by cunning expedieh's
and legislative devices they can h0odwink ana
caiole the mass Of Republican voters. keeping
them in line for whatever the machine may
declare to be the party policy and whatever
candidates the machine may select. The lesson
Of Inst November with It's record or the reVoit
of 10000 voters against a machine which, Win
all ITS advantages Of position and prestige, couiu
only command 100000, has been lost upon
them. They still think that they can keep up
their costly fooling; that they can play again
the bunco game which has been so Thoroughly
exposed
The Tribune has heretofore willingly accept
ed the sincerity and earnestncss and single
ness of purpose of Mr.. Root and the gentlemen
who are associated with him in the effort TO
procure an honest and effective primary law
from the present Legislature With very grave
doubts as TO the wisdom Of the policy of enter
ING into conference on the subject with the
men whose conduct Of the primaries heretofore
has been nagrantly dishonest and whose inter
ests lie In the continuation OF the old system or
the substitution Of another which would afford
similar or greater opportunities for fraud, we
though we must frankly add that we have
not forgotten their previous failures. Now
that these reports are rife, of how the ma
chine managers are chuckng over the pros
pect OF buncoing them with bill which, so far
from safeguarding the primaries against fraud,
will open new opportunities and furnish greater
facilities for dishonest and fraudulent practices,
The Tribune takes occasion TO repeat the words
of warning it has heretofore uttered on this
subject.
Mr. Root and some of the gentlemen associ-
ated with him ought not TO need enlightenment
as to the character and motives Of the Platt-
Quigg managers. who are just now processing
so ardent desire for primary reform. They
have met before. They have had dealings with
each other This is not the first or the second
time that the efforts of Mr.. Root and his asso-
ciates IN behalf Of political reform have been
met by the machine managers with ELUSIVE
offers Of sympathy and cooperation, and they
have been buncoed every time. 1t Is an unnat-
ural alliance The truth may as well be told.
The machine men have shown themselves to be
dishonest politicians. They have undergone no
change Of heart. They are now what they al
ways have been They do not want honest
primaries. They want primaries which they
can control. either by violence or fraud. That
is the aim and the only aim Of their conference.
We hardly believe that they will succeed this
time In deceivng Mr.. Root and his associates;
but II they do nothing Is more certain than
that the result Of their joint endeavors will be
repudiated by Republicans as emphatically as
was the work Of the Patt-Qugg committee at
the last election.
