It is mon- probable that, aa Janies Carey, Hie

that all tlie evidence th? English Government
bare obtained against him is now ?' in," and
that if no demand for his extradition has

In a talk with a TismrxE correspondent JadfC
rhtiniian declines with a ninth-sty for which
he will hardly get credit, thal ba has not been
tiring mach Btteatioa to Ohio politics lately.
Ha ii f? r General Durbin Ward for Governor,
but he ll non-coniniittal as to tlie part which
Ihe liquor question will pitty in the twining
canvass, Considering that it is one of
Judge Thurman's decisions RpOR which tho
Bi -publicans of Ohio rely now to establish the
cniistitufiniiulity ol' the Scott l;tw. the Judge's
retieenee is natural itiid discreet. He holds
that the opiniofl is good law, but that the point
lies iu the application of it. It is strange thc
Democrats have not retained Judge Thurman
lo iippear with Mr. Hoadly BgaiRSt the law
when the ease is atoned on the 20th of this
month. Thew titer of the opinion upon which
so mach depends ondit to be able to po'tit
out its weak point. Jadge Thurman's interest
in Ohio politics will probably revive when
tho case baa bern decided. Kven now, not
withataiiiUng thia lank of interest, he has a
singularly strong belief that tho Democrats'
will win this fall. _
In reply to the Governor's attack on the
EmifrratioR Comrnlsmoiiera the latter recite a
few facts a Inch snake their administration
compare favorably with thal of their predecea
sois. The per capita coat of caring for immi
iriants al ti.isj pori at present is 4 1 cents', .is
compared willi $2 fid under a Democratic
administration. The Governor lias now before
him a bill appropriating B70,000 for tbe new
Commiaaioaer when appoiated, altboogb the
preeenl Board stilted in an official communica?
tion to the Legislature that no more money
was needed. Under recent acts the Hoard is
now scH'-sustiiinintr. The appropriation of
170,000 with an increase of $8,500ia Balarie*
is ? fair illustration of Democratic economy.
How to pjel b< Ul of that money ia a probb rn
now troubling the Democrats. We trust thal
there is no truth in the report thal bb extra
session ol tbe Senate is to be called, in pur?
suance ol an arrangement whereby three
Senators are to absent themselves, in order
tli.it "Boss'1 McLaughlin's candidate can be
confirmed for Emigration Comuiissiouer.
In another column of Tin. Tribune will be
found ihe riewa of a Bamber of Roman Catho?
lic priests of this city in regard to the Pope's
recent letter t.rriie Irish.Bishops. The unan?
imity with which they agree thal it will be lit?
erally obeyed eniphaaizea Ibe opinion thal Leo
XIII, bas dealt a sharp blow to unlawful meth?
ods of agitation in Ireland aa well ns to the
fund for the benefit of Mr. Parnell. The force
of these utterances is univ softened by the
belief ol' one priest, who thinks that possibly
the langnage of tbe circular is open t<? a liberal
ciuiMt'uetimi. What the-." clergymen say is
particularly atgniflcinl now in view of tbe
twice repeated assertion in some of the English
papen that a warning letter hud been sent to
the Amelie.iii Bishops, Pether Parley, the
Cardinal's private secretary, dee] his thai po
letter has been received, amt adis that proba?
bly none will come, or the Cardinal would know
about it. If one should arrive, however, il
mi ms plain that it would be Implicitly obeyed
by the Church authorities herc. Irish agitators
iu this country, therefore, would do well to
beal- this probability in mind when diacuasing
doubtful methods of procedure against
Eiigiai.il. _
The letter from A. A. Cohen, elsewhere
printed this morning, isa valuable contribu?
tion to railroad diacusslone. Mi. Cohen, wini
is a noted iii'-mber of the San Francisco bar,
has beni one of the most conspicuous
eiien,ies of the Central Pacific and one
of the strongest agencies la the agita?
tion for State control of the railroads, in Cali*
fonda. When summoned before the Bailroad
Commissioners he now frankly st nt "st hal farther
study has largely modified his view... He now
believes that) the evils ol railroad management
are io be cured by competition, aol by Btate
regulation; and opposes an oU'mt to lix either
fares or freights by statute, or even an
effort to force ehargea al the same proportionate
lutes from non -com pel it ive as from competitive
points. Un all these, phases of the question
there is a volume ol Strand business sense and
plain statement in the letter of this veteran
anti railroad agitator that may will be
commended to Ins former sympathisers
at the East, and to the general pub?
lic. Mr. Cohen's old hostility to the Cen?
tral Pacific crops ont In the denunciation of
their system ol freight contracts, of which he
is, if possible, a more pronounced enemj than
ever, anil not without reason.
WHERE THE parties DIFFER
If tba elidions of m-xt fall were to take
place t!ds week there would be a very meagre
vote cast. Tlie voter-* are not thinking much
abottl politics. Most ot them have made up
their minda what they are going to do, nnd
look for no BOW details thal can change their
intentions. Hut there atc many more who are
un rely indifferent, and others who are waiting
to ace what the great parlies will do. Vet it
does not follow that the elections neil fall
will bctiiine Ol indecisive. The liquor question
is apt to drop to the rear j minor ami local is
suca will shrink out of sight as the approach
of another Presidential election la realized; and
men will turn their thoughta once more to thi
question which must after all ba thc decisive
one, namely, whether the one party at the
other, Judged by its past record and its cou
pt it nf'!! t elements, can most safely be intrusted
with the vast responsibilities of national gov?
ernment. CiicuiiiNtaiices are likely to Brien
before the voting begins next fall which will
bring thal OjaaatiOB very sharply tO the minds
of men. The Democrats dread it. Above all
Ihinga they desire ta aacapc nothet public ref
dicta upon their own past record.
Belan long, however, that party will meet
in convention in several important States. In
these bodies the coutost between different cle?
ments ol Rhicli tlie party is comported will
come to a head. One set of leaders or the other
will be put forward to speak for the party.
Nominations and plattonns will show which
element has the upper hand. Last year the
Democrats had the advantage of almost as
many different disguises as there are different
States; in some they professed to care for
nothing but bear and whiskey; in some they
were only anxious to resist monopolies; in
some they cloaked a scramble for office under
nrete.iiiled zeal for civil service reform: and in
s
others they promised as many different revisions
of taxation and the tariff as there were distinct
interest* to be conciliated. This year, in spite
of themselves, their nominations will mean
something. Certain definite ?eanRtrea hare
been pa?sed by Congress, and others are loudly
demr.nded, and an attempt to be non-cim
n.it:;il will now be quite as rignrftCBUt as thc
most explicit declaration.
Da what it may, the Democratic paity must
perforce show whether it thinks itself fit to be
Unsted, and e.ill upon the volets to say whether
they think it lit to bc trusted. If it hunts up
strange and unknown men, or political trick?
sters who hive never been identified with its
history, it will show that it is ashamed of its
own history and leaders. (kBafeejavRg tIj.it these
entitle it to BO confidence, it will, nevertheless,
ask the voters to say that they giTB it all COR*
lilli ins. Hy so doing, it will compel men to
consider what the history and who tba leaders
have been of whom the party is ashamed. Or
if, on the other hand, it names men who have
been identified with its past, that history in?
evitably comes up for review.
The lb-publican party has no such difficulty.
It has ;t history, bul la not ashamed of it, and
would be only too glad to have the elections
decided bj the public judgment aa to the work
done by the party during the past twenty-live
years. The Ivepublicaiis also will meet in con?
ventions, but there will be no effort anywhere
to disown the past record of the party, to put
on diagnisee, at to promise a revet sal of its
policy. Jt does not need to pretend that all its
lenders have been always wise, or all its offi?
cials free from blame; taken a- R whole, Ha
past challenges scrutiny. Not bein;; ashamed,
and having nothing to hide, il can nominate
new men, or men who have been long identi?
fied willi its history, as circumstances in each
case amy dictate, it will not be foolish enough
to pretend that in every particular every ad?
ministration, including that of President
Arthur, has met its highest aspirations, and yet
it will have no occasion or desire to disavow
or disown thal administration as a whole, or
any other; on the contrary, it can claim public
thanks and Innior foi the genera) cokducl ol
the Government under the present administra?
tion.
There i-* a areal difference between a party
that has everything to hide and one that
sin inks from no sciutin.y and fears no issue.
The people will begin to feel that difference
when the conventions ot the two parties pa
in review before them, lr ls possible, too,
that events maj draw public attention rcry
strongly to tbe financial course of the two
parties. There may be Industrial eonteata oi
disostera this Bummer, in thal ca-e, voters
will ask which party has voted for the repeal
of duties designed toproteel home industry.
Pinancial disorders are no! wholly impossible,
If they cniue, roten will ask which part]
weak.-ned the public treasury Uv silver coin
agc, strove to cripple the banka by enlist.mt
assaults upon them, and threatened all invested
property by Communistic proposals. Thal the
Democratic party is afraid of it-* past history
is not strange. Bul its onlj way toge! rid ol

A SECOND 8UEI C IN IL,
The project of constructing a second Suer
Canal has icceived the BUOROrl of povveilul
commercial corporutioaa in England and has
excited pop.il.ir enthusiasm. The isresenl
waterway baa proved successful as a financial
enterprise, bul iuadi quate lo meet the require?
ments of trade. Tbe projectors were disap?
pointed by Ibe immediate reanlta of tbe
opening of tho canal, and even ii* late
its 1^7'.' tlif - annual tonnage remained sta?
tionary itt 2,000,000, there baring bren
no increase since 1^71. From ls7.( ta
l^si thara wa ? aa enormous increase, the ton*
nape for thc second year aggregating
4,000,000. Pire-eixtba af Eagfaad'a trade
willi India, Japan, Ceylon, tha Strain aad the
Philippines is non carried aa through tba canal.
The trade of linne count nea Bggregatea
^:, 15,001 ,(iO(?, ami 1460,000,000 of it paeaea
ihiough tba canal; and to thia moat be added
660,000,000 el tba $275,000,000 representing
British trade with Australasia. Tue grand
total of British trade with all countries lying
beyond tho Isthmus boine $820 000,000, tbe ag?
gregate ol tbe caniil traffic is $520,000,000, oi
neailv two-thirds of the whole. Tho business
of tba canal bas doubled since 1870, and the
iiiciiitieh ol transit are m a aaequa] to tbe re?
qnireroente ol cemmerce, pniti.il blockades
and tedious delays being of frequent occur?
rence. A sciond Waterway is needed, uud
although the capital required tot the work is
large, the financial Inrcetment can eaailj ba
demoostrattd ta ba not only aafa bot highly
remaueratire alter a tera of yeera, It is not
without reason, therefore, that Eaglfah capital
ls attracted by the projected enterprise. Not
are patriotic considerations nanting, for Egypt
la already looked upon asa British conquest,
the n.ost valuable one that has been n ade Mina
t e American colonies wera lost, aad it will be
a legitimate source of national pride if Eng?
lishmen can point to a ditch cf their own across
(ha isthmus planned by (heir engineers and
constructed arith then capital as well as med
mainly by their chips. Tiny cannot forge! thal
tba present Waterway was exclusively IT ruth
in origin iiiul construction, ami, moreover,
was persistently opposed Bad ridiculed by Eng?
lish capitalism and engineers.
Three roatea h ive been propueed for this new
interoceauie waterway. One of these, leading
from El Arish on the Mediterranean tc Aka', th
;it tbe bead of tbe 0alf of Ai.ah.th, does sol
need to be seriously considered, aa ii Lnrolres
longer Mediterranean and Inland lines of trenail
than the oilier two, and passes along an ifl
ib lined frontier. The second is a fresh water
louie, leading from Alexandria to Suez bv
way of Cairo, Thc hist section of the canal
would tun through Lake Msreotis and alter
striking thc Nils would follow ita coarse to
Cairo, a diatanceof 11s. miles; and the re?
maining section of 122 miles would load through
Belbeia to Mahsamah in clone proximity to tbe
i reseat Ismailieh canal, and would terminate
al Sm/. The entile canal wot,ld be about '.'III
miles in length, a distance equivalent to the
preeeal salt water route from Alexandria to
BUBB by way of Tort Said ; but ev cry milo
would be artificial waterway and several locks
would be required. The (rossini, of the Nile
at Cairo would preceb! peeuliai difficulties and
involve the necessity ol completing what is
known aa the barrage of the stream. If these
engineering difficulties could be surmounted,
the canal would be a work of national utility,
which tba present Sues Canal ia not. It would
complete the former Khedive's system of irri?
gation and would add enciiiiOvisly to the pro
duetivencssof the tracts through which il might
run, sud it would do much to restore to Alexan
diia its commercial greatness. It would, how?
ever, increase the time of passage by twenty
four or thirty-six hours over the present route,
lind thia fact is sufficient to condemn it in the
judjitueiit of practical liligiiahmen who are
bent upon securing quick as well as cheap tran?
sit Low tolls would not compensate them for
an inevitable loss of time.
Tbe third route is theonechoscnbjM.de
Lesseps for bis great undertaking. It will un?
doubtedly be selected aa the only one which
is practicable as a competing line of inter
oceanio communication. Bs. de Lesseps as?
sumes to have acquired from the late Khedive
a monopoly of tho isthmus for canal purposes,
but his claim will probably bo ridiculed by tbe
British C.overnment and set aside by the Egyp?
tian Ministry. The tracts to the right and left
of the canal have never lieen ceded to the Suez
Company, but remain Egyptian territory to this
day ; and hf. de Lesseps will be powerless to
resist a concession to an English company for
tba construction of a second canal east or west
of the present ditch. Probably he will make a
desperate effort to olistruct that enterprise br
attempting to enlarge his own woik. He con?
trived to build his canal in spite of English
ridicule aud scepticism. The engineers de?
monstrated to their own satisfaction that he
could not form a permanent harbor at Port
Said, that he conld not make a navigable
channel through Lake Menzaleh, and that ho
could not neate inland n-as at Timsah and the
Hitter Mar.-li; but ho persevere 1 until his great
Stork was universally acknowledged to bethe
mos*, conspicuous triumph of engineering skill
of the century. The capitalists had proved by
trade statistics and Hluo Hooks thai the canal
would never pay expenses and would have no
appreciable effect upon the commerce of the
world ; and the returns of thelcanal tratlic and

SWEET HELLS JANGLED OUT OF TUNE.
Beferring in this instance to the sweet bells
thai bang In the bctfrya of the Democratic
aewapapera of the state. The jangling began
just as soon as the Legislature adjourned, and
was due to the failure of tbe Senate to cuni inn
the Bomination of BocaMcLaugh?wa mean
Mi. Murtha, of Hrooklyn, for Immigration
Con tuiasionsr.
The sweet hell of 'lin ditflRf AfffWS began
the Jangling. The bell wa* eridently inspired
bv a passionate de>!ra lo jungle the bend ofl
John Kelly. Pi om ii* brazen throat rnngout
snell peals as tin.se: uThe resistance to Tam

"Ut the issue ((min and welcome the conse

stopped ringing than the bell ol' I lie Buffalo
Courier rang ont sonorously in reply It rang
that the peal of its Albany mi temporary's bell
was ?? ti ii mitigated Hash," "clotted non en sr,"
in fact, lt rang that it would have '? nothing to

'?a gie?t party schismnj thal "it would bo bad
"lor anybody wboattempta to createdissen
? sion a in tbe [1 lemoeratic] ian I.s."
And then tba bell ot I hr troff /'/Tvs made if-df
beard. Itaroicewaa responsive t" that of The
Argus. It toorang for the head of Hr. Kelly on
a charger, making aach music as thia: "The
i ("plc mnie Mi. Cleveland Governor. Tam
"many insi-ts thal be abell bare a Gorernoi
"furnished from its hall. This thing he will
''lin' submit to." Alni while the echo ol thf>
bold at rain was still in the air the bel! of Jke

bell waa la accord with tho Buffalo bell, bal
quite too diatractiagly ont of accord with thc
Albany ball lad tbe Troy bell. Listen to thc

Another peal ol thia SriacaBB bell was, intended
to comfort Tammany. Tammany waa aaaared
thal hoi Senators had merely " exercised a eon
stitutioiial right ' in declining to confirm ftlo
I,augh-we mean Mintha. Nm BO with tba
bell of The BrooUffU Batts. It did not en

soul. ll. uk t" I hr EaoVs bell: "Thepriceof
"harmony with Tammany ls the wages of sin,
" iiud the wages ol sin is death." And while
thia BBTBffe music was in tho air the bell of lite
\nr-York Star played avery different tillie.
This wiis the tune: * It fa not denied that Gov

"easily split and disorganise tlie party in this
"State. The Tilden camarilla at Albany l. ave
"already volunteered for the service."
It will bo seen by the musical connoisseur
that is is a weirdly painful case of jangling

MONEY ASH BUSINESS.
If depression iu prices meant misfortune in
business, lani week wisuhl have to be classed
as a week of misfortune. Stocks declined,
sonic of them sharply; cotton was weak and
a little lower; wheat dropped about 2 cents
pei bushel, ami coin and oatt wcie | lit!Io
lower; pork was steady, but lard derlined a
little; coll'ee fell a quarter of a cent; naviii
sloies were lower and hops weak. In petro*
lenin there was a sharp advance early in the
wick, but it was followed by a dull mai kel
and power ((lunations. There was BO monetary
preaaare to oceaaion apprehension ar depres?
sion in specula'ive maikets, nor were there
lailuics unusual in impoilaiico or number.
Stocks were weak in spite of largo reported
earnings and harmonious agreement of the
Trunk-Line managers; grain was weak in spite
of lower ocean freights; and cotton declined,
notwithstanding a Manchester circular ullirm
ing that surplus stocks at the milla in Great
Hritain are smaller than they were a year ago.
lu short, the markets generally reflected a
feeling of disappointment at the results of thc
spring trade, and au unusual conservatism
with regard to further ventures. About this
time hist year trade was at its dullest; all the
difficulties resulting from the short crop of
1881 were culminating j and there was os yet
no certainty that ample crops in the coming
fall would avert disaster. The fact that tne
exchanges not arising from stock transactions
are about $22,000,000, or over 4 per cent,
less than they were for the corresponding
week last year indicates a considerable dulnesa
in business.
At the same time it is evident that no disas?
ter or prolonged disturbance is commonly
apprehended. There are no signs of anything
that can properly bo called panic. Money is
easy, and the possibility of stringency next fall
is scarcely ever mentioned. Tho banks are
expanding their loans, and no one looks for
trouble among them; the railroads are really
doing a very large business at remunerative
rates; and the prospoct is that the crops next
fall will be ample. The conservatism of feel?
ing that BXfata, though it tends to make busi?
ness dull for the present, is ifl some measure a
safeguard against the danger of over-expansion
iu trade. The iron business is in an unhealthy
condition, but the workmen in the rolling mills
seem resolved to take the heavy end of the
burden upon their own shoulders, by com?
mencing a strike June 1. It is reported that
collections are unsatisfactory, but this was
anticipated when the preparations for a kiga
spring trade were followed by unsatisfactory
results. When new crops begiu to move, if thc
season proves profitable to the farmers, thero
might easily be a dangerous expansion in trade
but for the unwelcome influences which now
cause caution. The liquidation in speculative
markets ought not to mean mischief to legiti?
mate trade, aa the undue advance in speculative
prices did not bring general prosperity.
In reality, this liquidation is iu some sense
settling a debt created in 1881. In that year,
great capitalists loaded themselves to the ut
jiu.sf with all sorts of stuff which they have
inver been able to sell at a profit bince. In
1882 desperate efforts were made by powerful
men to force ap and hold up markets, so that
the general range of prices for the year was
far higher than the natural conditions war?
ranted. To get back to a more reasonable
Viii mit ion of what we have and what we pr>
duce has been a slow and unpleasant process,
but it WRB a necessary prerequisite for
solid Imprnrement and prosperity hereafter.
Whether tho liquidation ba either of the
branches of trade lias gonn far enough al?
ready, those acquainted with the details can
judge for themselves; the one thing eil tain is
thal alter that point has been reached there
will come recovery and more healthy busi?
ness.
