THE PROPHETIC BRYAN.

II Mr.. Bryan finds time amid his labors to
keep the Democracy in harmony with POpulism
TO read about the Iron and Steel Institute meet
| ing in London lie must be awakened 10 mOcking
recollections. Five years ago Mr. Bryan went
up and down the country with the thunderOus
tones and assumed inspiration OF heaven born
prophet telling the people that the adherence to
the gold standard would make the United States
the slave Of Great Britain. He and his party
did their best 10 arouse n spirit of fanaticism
by representing the opponents of free silver
coinage as the secret agents of England. which
was anxious to impOverish the United States
by forcing upon it a ruinOus financial system
which would economically undo the work of the
War Of Independence.
In spite of Mr.. Bryan this ensaving gold
standard was riveted upon our wrists and since
then We have been miserably struggling along in
the British chains. We say miserably for only
last summer Mr.. Bryan again came forward TO
proclaim our sad state under the gold standard
and warn us against the certain destruction
which would result from persistence in an error
from the evil effects of which he with the
insight of a seer, could tell we were suffering.
Even now he declares continued adherence 10
his sacred silver principles. and there is offered
no suggestion of his having learned anything
II,
voice crying that the British gold standard
binds our workers in Industrial slavery to
Britain. Yet the English manufacturers are
now gravely considering what they must do to
save their iron and steel industries from COM
plete eclipse by American competitors They
listened to expositions of the advantages of the
great centralized and consolidated American
plants, which troubled Mr.. Bryan almost as
much as the gold standard. and considered IL
they would not have TO follow the same plan
under penalty Of becoming the slaves instead
of the slave drivers of America so far as the
iron and steel market is concerned
We have this demoralizing gold standard
dependent upon the English bankers; yet
instead of having to borrow money from them
at ruinous rates, we are beginning 10 set I'M
for ourselves as the money centre OF the world
When the British Government wants money
our people. impoverished though they be bv the
gold standard, have ii TO lend. and so make the
British taxpayer tributary TO the American
investor. We likewise lend money In GERMANY
and altogether seem 10 be doing uncommonlv
well in competition with the Old World nations
whose gold standard was meant for our enslave
ment American humanity does not seem to
have suffered much from that cross of gold
The brow Of American labor is covered with tho
sweat OF profitable industry, and bears no
marks of the gold brokers' thorns Mr. Rrvan
and his lurid rhetoric and dreadful prophecies
look cheap enough in the light of experience.

is perhaps something with which the New
York streetcar passenger has nothing to do, the
question of health, even of life itself. is most
pertinent and grave. 1t Is not easy to imagine
anything much more perilous to the physical
wellbeing. especially of women and thinly clad
men and those with delicate lungs and throats
than TO be compelled TO ride in an open car at
such time as yesterday morning. Yet that is
precisely what thousands of people We're COM
PEELED to do if they wanted TO ride at all. Open
car after open car trailed past in damp and
bleak procession. and if waited on the
corner until his umbrella leaked and his feet
were soaked the only comfort he got in the
fulness of time was combination" car, with
the dinky little closed compartment packed as
though it had been loaded with cotton press
1t is really a serious question whether one
ought not to be able to collect in court round
damages from the streecar company for
case of bronchitis or pneumonia or influenza
contracted through riding in an open car on
such day. Why not, If one can get indemnity
for broken arm or cracked pate in car
collision? If the company is responsible for in
jury to passengers through accident, why should
IL not he similarly responsible for still graver
injury done to them through its own deliberate
act? If the company will not Danish the open
car in cold and stormy weather in the name of
health it ought to be compelled to do so in the
name of its own vulnerable pocket.

THE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS METHODS.

The report which was put in pretty general
circulation yesterday that District Attorney
Philbin was ready TO proceed against Deputy
Commissioner Devery and several police cap
tains on charges of misdemeanOr was seemingly
premature and. so far as ii purported to be
made on Mr.. Philbin's authority. ii was clearly
erroneous He gave out a statement yesterday
on this subject which appears TO us entirely
sensible Speaking in a general way of his
administration, he said: Il again renew the as
"surance that gave when l was appointed Dis
"trict Attorney, and that is, that absolutely no
Influence can deter me from instituting pro-
"ceedings against persons who have been guilty
"of violations of the law, whatever their politi-
zeal, business or social standing may be-. Mr.
Philbin's reputation at the time of his appoint
ment led the community to put full faith in that
declaration. With reference 10 the particular
reports current yesterday, he said:
I have made no statements 10 the newspapers
indicating that proceedings were about to be In
stituted against certain police officials. The
District Attorney that nothing would ever be
said as what ! intended TO do has been and
will be rigidly adhered 10. If information al
ready lodged with me or hereafter furnished
shows that any such officers have violated the
law and that there is sufficient legal evidence
TO establish such violation. proceedings Will be
promptly instituted and prosecuted with all ex-
pedition No matter how thoroughly l may be
convinced that there has been violation of the
law / will not institute criminal proceedings
unless there is sufficient evidence in law, in my
opinion. TO procure a conviction. will not be
swerved one iota by any amount Of public
sentiment from my determination not TO pro
ceed until cases have been fully and properly
prepared.
That is not a spectacular programme. which is
one reason why il is creditable TO Mr. Philbin
and likely TO prove satisfactory 10 the honest
public. Here and there A disposition TO ac-
count him too slow has been discemible of
late. In the course of various attempts
TO bring official wrongdoers to justice in
years gone by New-York has too often ex-
perlenced the evil effects of well meaning zeal
exhausting itself in manifestoes. Mr.. Philbn
might have made himself and his office con-
spcuous by vociferaton during the last few
months. and gained much i'll considered praise
by spasrnodic activity: but the practical results
would not have been valuable in his judgment
and on his judgment the community is disposed
10 rely. He will not move until he has com
pleted his preparations, but when he does move
progress and not mere gyrations will be con-
idently looked for

CITY MONEY WASTED.

The Bureau of Municipal Statistics the Com
missiOners of Accounts and the coroners' de-
partment are excrescenceS on the local body
polite which ought to be scraped off at an early
day. In the columns Of The Tribune ample
evidence has been presented again and again
that these partisan tumors have no legitimate
excuse for existence. They cost a great deal
of money, and they practically accomplish moth
ing of value. And the extravagant division OF
municipal affairs over which the Chamberlain
presides in silent state is like unto these futile
and Objectionable superfulties The Office of
Chamberlain is lucrative sinecure for Tam
many favorite. What substantial service TO the
taxpayers does the Tammany Chamberlain sup
ply in return for the extravagant salary which
he draws?
Our Tammany Commissioners of Accounts
devote their energies principally to laudation
and eulogy OF the present City Hall administra
tion and to the setting forth of fantastic state
ments intended to convince the people of New
York that they are doing something to afford
pretext for the regular payment of their sal
aries. What discoveries of genuine significance
have they made in any department. niche or
recess of local machinery? What exposures of
waste or mismanagement have they brought TO
public attention? Nothing of weight and mo-
ment And yet IL has been frequently stated
that several of the Tammany departments are
dishonesty administered and the public funds
diverted to wrong objects. Why do not these
Tammany Commissioners OF Accounts get at
the truth with respect to the profligate waste OF
city money by Tammany pets?
As TO the Bureau of Municipal Statistics that
is groresque institution which ought 10 be
abolished And The Tribune has shown MANY
times that the whole system of "crowners'
quests" Is out of date; that it is prodigally ex
travagant, and that the system of medical ex
aminers," as thoroughly tested for many wears
in Massachusetts is efficient. satisfactory and
far less expensive than New-York methods as
shown in the coroners' department.
Controller Coer tells lot about what he
censures as TO the misdeeds Of Republican legis.
