(U?apite the opinion of the ('oipiinition OmUMMI
mkti they had no right to do so. Thu only
reason for such action, of course, is a desire to
increase tha influence of tho local politicians
by putting in place men who live within the
city limits and thereby can be moro useful
peditieal workers than those who resident B
distance ctn possibly be. The matter will
doubtless be curried to thc courts, nnd if the
law really authorizes the resolution of tho
Aldermen, it is to bo hoped that the present
Legislature will hasten to alter the statute.
-?
Many years ago the State abolished imprison?
ment for debt, our law-makers believing that
no man should lm deprived of his freedom ex?
cept as a penalty for a crime or misdemeanor.
This is sound doctrine; but unfortunately
what is practically imprisonment for debt still
exists in New-Yoik. Persons are now some- |
times locked up for years upon executions
against the person issued in certain eivil suits.
The Assemble Committee tonne! such a MN
yesterday in Ludlow Street Jail. The man hus
been a prisoner for live years, and seems to
have suffered outrageous cruelty at tunes, in
the last L-gislnture a bill to prevent this kind
of abuse failed to become a law, although it
lacked only a fow votes in the Senate. A sim
ihir measure should be introduced at this ses?
sion and passed.
?
The correspondence on the Lasker resolution
between the Qennaa Government and our
..wu hus now been laitl before Congress and
will be found printed in full elsewhere in Tiik
Tkiuusk. All that is mw in it is tho report of
the brief conversation between Mr. Krclinjrhuy
sen and the Herman Minister, when the resolution
was returned to the State Department (but not
left there), and the Secretary's last letter to Mr.
Bergent The resolution ottered by Mr. Hiaeock
in the House after the President's BMOSagO was
read was referred to the Conunittee on Foreign
Affairs. It will doubtless receive careful con?
sideration there before it conies np in the House
again?if it ever does.
?
The bill now before tlie legislature, to im?
prove the condition <>f thi Sinking Fund of the
city, iii regard to whieh some facts ue given
in to-day's Tuiiii.nk, is one calling for serious
consideration. The meaanra has the approval
of John Jay Cisco, Lawrence Tumure, Boya!
Phelpaand either well-known financiers, who
have take ti the trouble* to examine into the
rather intricate workings of the Sinking Fund
laws. Thia fond, which in 1870 amounted t?>
emly two iimi one-half million dollars, has now
increased to nearly forty million dollars, alter
paying all maturing city obligations. If no
change is made in existing statutes and the ad?
ministration of ibis fund, it will amount
with its increasing revenues to $200,
000,000 in sixteen yours. The present
polity is to ime >t tlii>. money in eit\ bonds hihI
hold them uncancelled. The intention of the
bill i--, bo lac a- consistent with outstandingeon
t raids, to stop the unnecessary increase of this
fund, and to require the bonds to be cancelled

United Stab > Sinking Fund. This will remus e
what the promoters of the bill justly regard as
a great element of danger in our municipal

A CONSPICUOUS FAILURE.
The Democratic party wuh unquestionably iu
pood spirits when Congress assembled. More
than six months wore to elapse, before the
Preeidentlal nominations would bc made, ami
by that time, with the aidol a large majority
io the House of Representatives, the party
hoped to occupy il commanding po-.ilion in the
Campaign, It was believed that such ground
would be taken ou the tarifl SS would unite thc
parti, and that such revelations would be- made
hy investigating committees a* would put the
Republican party upon tho defensive in thc
campaign.
We are now well into the fourth month of the
session, and nothing bas been accomplished
touaida making good these promises. Begin?
ning the- session with the election of s free
tliide Speaker, it has taken the Ways and
Means Committee more than three months in
whieh to haine a bill with which bulli e-ieinrnl.
of lin* partv are di.-i-iili-li.il, and which, wbethel
defeated or not, will certainly be opposed by a
considerable Bomber of Democrats, leaving thc
party dil ided and disconcei ted on the rerj i re
of a great National canvass. Io the direction
of investigation, the party bits accomplished
aimee! nothing. It. remembers, and wisely no
doubt, the fearful and wonderful work its
boomerang did some var- ago, and it can
bardlj muster up tho courage to begin. Aboul
iiii that has been discovered now ia thal Presi?

Elie ll tulll keeps on, in piteOUS eleiill.lf-lcuii.-,
demanding that ih<* party shall "investigate,'1
but no heed is paid to the advice.
The situation of the party ls not Improved
arbon tin'- general condition of legislative
buaineas is considered. The delay in acting
upon tat- Appropriation bills bas been remark?
able. They are practically untouched in the
House, except for some deaultoiy work in the
committee. A eompariaon with tha laal long
session, thal of the spring of 1883, trill show
bow far behind its work tin present House ia.
A little- mon: than a mooth later than this time;
eight appropriation bills had paaaed the Houae
in 1882, and ;i!i the others were in a forward
state- ol' preparation. Bj thia time In lss2 the

The Army bill bad alao been reported. Hy
contrast with this, Un preeenl Ih'ii.v has passed

PATES T.i AMI HIE PUBLIC.
A bill is before Congress the purpose <if which
ls to improve thi status of those who, having in?
nocently purchased alleged patent rights, find
themselves joined in action as defendants in
suits lor infringements ed patents. The new bill
provides that iu such CSSCS Ihe innocent p iii -
chaSU Shall not be liable for costs save w here ibo
damages awarded exoeed $20, This no doubt
is i"nie ameiioiation of the position ti the pur?
chaser, but it is not enough. There is no
sufficient reason for making bim a party to such
.ni ions at all. A very large proportion ol paten!
rights belong to Inventions used by farmers.
Now it is pei leetly clear that the a vi rage lill mer
has neither the t inn. nor the opportunity to ex?
amine every patent ottered to him to ascertain
whether it involves an infringemenl of some
other patent, or win Un r it ls genuine or not,

certainly unfair, and such a rule eau only tend

The parties to bo held responsible ore tbe i?*i

maxim earea! tnplcr in such a fashion is to ig?
nore the practical impossibility ed intelligent
liacrimination by the purchaser, and thus to
convert tbe paten) system from a public g.Ito

TUT. STATE SI Kl'EY.
The importune* of SOOnriag an neem ate
trigonometric and topographies! survey of the
St ito nnd of determining State and county
liues need not bo argued. The State Hui ve jr
WM created slime years ago to perform this
much uoeded and most valuable piece of work.
It hus met tim host eipoctiitions. All that it
has done has been characterized hy tidclity and
efficiency. It has been in charge of a callable
and trustworthy Director, while the Cum
missioners have been w?dl-known publio citi?
zens having 00 end to serve in the discharge of
their duties except the common welfare.
The appropriation to continue the Sui Tey has
passed the Assembly, It is to be hoped that the
Senate will speedily concur. Tlie reports that
have annually boe-n presented hy the Com?
missioners constitute so many unassailable
arguments for continuing the Survey until all
that has lie-en given il, to do has boen thor?
oughly done. There is no politics in this
matter. Like the Niagara and Adirondack
reservation projects, it makes its appeal to the
Intelligence and patriotism of the members of
the Legislature without regard to party lim rn.
The Survey is indorsed hythe best scientific
men in and out of the State, nnd is worth in

NO MORE SILVER WANTED.
Becretary Polger and some othes Treasury
offldala, worthy gentlemen nil, ure good enough
to express the opinion that there i* no danger of
failure of the Treasury to pay gold on tb'inand
for a year or so, at leant. We are pleased to
beor it. And in view of that fact we venture to
suggest :
I. To thee officials of the Treasury, that they
stop nuiking payments (eave in place of one and
two dollar notes) partly in silver, whether the
creditors of the Governssent want it or not, ut
other cities than New-York.
II. To banka and othsr creditors of tho Gov?
ernment, at other cities than New-York, that
they requeot payment of ell Mums dm. from thu
Treasury (save in place of one and two dellar
notes) in gold alone.
Then i- a very good reaaon for these sug?
gestions. The attempt of the Treasury to
thrust more silver into circulation, however
will meant, has ceased to be ol'avail for any
good purpose whatever. The channels of cir?
culation refuse to absorb any more .-ilvcr or
silver notes than they held some months ago.
<>n the :iist of December th e Treasury bael out?
standing 996,299,241 silver certifteatee, and on
Saturday, Much 8, 896,918,191. That is, prac?
tically all the silver certificates that have been
lu two months by much labor thrust into circu- j
lation, cud in some casca almost forced upon
unwilling crediton, have been dumped into thc
Treasury. And again, on the 31st of Decem?
ber the Tresant? held 8150,976,342 in .silver,
iiud on the 8th of Mareil 8160,843.983, having
nu-.inwhile coined lem than 85,000,000. lu
other winds, all the silver coined for two
months has lodged In the Treasury, all that bas
been paid out has been emptied back, ami mora
than the entire amount ootnedhaa meanwhile'
been returned from circulation besides, snd
dumped into the Tueaaury aa stud for whieh the
business of the country has no use. If the Gov?
ernment is not in any (rouble or danger ot any,
we uigo that it stop putting ita loads on the
shoulders of bankers and business men who do
not want them.
The Seen tiiry i- entirely right?if lie will but
nae intelligently the power that be poon
There is nt) danger, if he will insist upon keep?
ing enough gold to meet .'ill emergencies, and
refuse to pay OUt silver which simply OOmCO

The decrease in revenue has been lees than
134,000,000 In two-thirds of the year; it will
not be more than $56,000,000, probably, in the
entire year. Putting asieh- $28,000,000 in j
silver, ae so much uaeleaa stuff, and ezpebding i
in redemption of debt what the Sinking Fund acl
retinues, the I ii aaurj can el ill ihIiI $11,000,000

aa increasing proportion of useless silver.
MOUSING hie Et ion.
Professor Adler, in his closing lecture on
tenement-house reform, announced that
$40,000 bad been subscribed for tin- purposes
of tin? movement, and that he boped -ooh tej
make a practical beginning. By following the
method of Miss Octavia Hill, such a beginning
can undoubtedly be made with the sum men?
tioned. For moro far-ronehing reform, how?
ever, then ls needed much information not now
attainable, nbich probably could only he
it ached through an official and authoritative in?
vestigation. In England Parliament bas already
dei rt ed ii Roj id Commission on I he bousing of
the poor, and thus a BMBSOf suggestive and
valuable forts will be collected. Such an in
tpiiry i- needed hen-, ami it i-< specially required
because in theorizing about the housing of the
poor withoitt statistics there is alwaj i danger of
confuting two distinct things, namely, the eon
sequences of insufficient wages or work willi the
consequences of overcrowding. The whole
subject is full of diUcultiee, the conditions
varying so much arith locality and kinda of oe
impution thal it must bo Impossible to strike
nut any Uniform remedy. Fol* instance, while
nun li ol' the bad bousing of the poor is the fault
of greedy landlordism, some ol ii ls attributable
to the focussing of labor at certain points. The
laborer must be near his work, and to be soho
is often driven to shifts nhieh produce un?
sanitary and generallj bael reeu ta.

not tho siightest basis for such an impression in

All this occupied a great deal of space in the news?

eif the arrest of a white desperado, who with twsu

As if to emphasize Seuetary Folger'a statement
that the Treasury is in no danger pf luging its gold
to sm h an extent ss to be obliged to nse silver in
payments, there comes the Monday report of the
condition of tbo TiaasuiJ. This shows a loss In
amount of geld heh! of over $2,000,000 since Sat?
urday, and tke decrease in gobi certitioates out?
standing having been small, the amount of gold
owm-ei by tho ire-asury in reduced to $142,4r>3,.~?47,
against $11 i,400,HS7 os Saturday, hooking fur?
ther, it appears that tho amount of silver owued
ty the Treasury has increased <$i(J4,ltJI since Hat
tinlay, and that thu net amount due on legal tender
ncenuut lias increased 9498*871. This is not ex

now that engagements of marriage, the goaeip of
