Counsel fur the defence in thc CAM of the two
Fark policemen charged with robbing a man
named ScliwaizU-i- me trying haul to prove that
SchwarzK-r was intoxicated. Gruntinp th.it
poiut (which is not proved) are wo lo infer that
it Ls less criminal to rob a niau when ho is
drunk than when he is sober T
, The county ollicers of Chicago, like their
\ official brethren iii this city, are making a dee*
7 peratc t-ttort to prevent easy access to the pub?
lic real estate records. It ts tobe hoped thai
everywhere such eftoits will tail. Sound pub?
lic policy in a republic demands that the ob?
stacles in the way of the easy transfer of tea]
property should be reduced io ;i minimum, ao
that small landed proprietors may inti ease as
much M possible. The expense of title-scarch
ing at present is tieineiiilous and should be re?
duced. To this end tho multiplication of pri?
vate title-abstract companies serves, and should
be encouraged.
Emigration statistics tor tlii> port for 1880
allow a falling oft in arrivals compered with
lwl. In that year 354,702 aliens landed here,
and in 18S5, 291,0(j<;. If the proportion of
decrease has been tin BREAR at other ports, thc
total for the present twclvciiii.iith will be con?
siderably below that of last year, which wu
G18,5'.?2. Not since 1879 has tlie Immigration
been so Biuall. The cause is not easily found,
but doubtless the hard times in thc United
States had much to do with it. Be that as it
may, the falling oft will not c nix- greet public
Concern, for the prereJHag opinion nowadays
is that " Uncle Sam is not rich enough to give
them all a farm."
-?
Tlie discipline which the surface street rail
?ways are now BBdergoing was extended yester?
day to the Eight and the Ninth Avenue lines.
In making up the new schedule of time and
?wages tho companies tried to bo very shrewd
and by increasing the numW of u trippers"
(elfra men who are paid by the trip) to keep
their expenses down to old limits. The result
?Wits that many of these tt trippers " were only able
to make half a dollar or so a day. The now
agreement declares that *trippe?" shall be
paid $1 50 no mattel how few trips they make.
This decision is directly in the interests of the
pablic. More cars will bo run for its conveni?
ence now that the companies have to pay the
men whether the cars are sent out or not.
-e.
Senator Hoar has not told as what reasons
nnimated those citizens who have petitioned
him to get the Presidency abolished, but wo
?uppose the main cause must be disgust with
the present Administration. The telephone
?candals ; their sharp contrast with tho lofty
?entimeut of Mr. Cleveland's assertion that
" public ofliee is a public trust ? j Mr. Vilas s
attack on American steamship lines j the Dol?
phin business, and other things too numerous
to mention, are indeed painful to all honest citi?
zens. Stall, they do not justify the abolition of
the office of the Chief Executive. Let na grin
?nd bear them I It will all be made right in
1888 when a Republican is elected to tbo
l'residency.
Governor Abbott's scheme to pay the run?
ning expenses of the State of New-Jersey out
of taxes gathered from the railroads and canals
has boen declared nnconsUtntional. Tho Su?
preme Court ot that State holds that the act
directly violates the clause in the Constitution
trliich declares that property must be taxed
Under a general law and a uniform rule. Of
course property maybe divided into classes,
ftndsuche tax as this might have been im?
posed upon all corporate property; but railroad
nnd canal companies cannot be separated from
other correlations and then taxed. That would
he special legislation^!ways abhorrent tocon
etitutional governments. New-Jersey will,
therefore, havo the pleasure of paying back to
these companies almost a million dollars taken
from the railroads within two years, and tbe
finances of the Commonwealth are thoa thrown I
into great confusion. The legislators will
have to fall to work in earnest now to extricate
their constituencies from their unpleasant con?
dition. It is impossible to forecast their per?
formances, but probably many of tlieut Will
favor a tax on all corporation property, on the
lines indicated in the present decision as legal.
SECRET SLASHERS TO BE REI! CK ED.
Tho Senate Republican caucus has decided
rightly in regard tn the refusal of Information
by .'resident Cleveland. Tho President bas
jilin -ed himself in a position utterly inconsistent
with bis professed desire for Civil Service re?
form, and for conducting tho service on busi?
ness principles. Ile has pretended to select
men, uot to reward them for partisan services,
but on account of fitness. His stubborn refusal
to give any information regarding the removal
of a great number of ellicient and worthy o.!H
cers who have been removed can have no other
reason than a desire to conceal from the public
the fact that such removal* were made contrary
to his professions and pledges, in disregard of
public interests, and for no better end than to
reward partisan workers.
The well-known and disgraceful truth is that
the President has allowed secret slanders
against worthy Republican olBolala to BBTTO BB
pretexts for their removal or suspension, and"
now does not dare to place those slanders in the
daylight, where they can bo confronted by the
men wronged, because their falsity and foul?
ness would Ima tinned and would disgrace his
influential suppoiters aud adviser*. Tho Re?
publicans of tho Senate properly decide that
the men who havo been put into place by such
dishonorable devices shall not bc confirmed
until the President will consent to do simple
justice to the tait hf ul officials who have been
removed or susi 'ended, by dearing away the
Imputation dishonest ly made against them.
The people will sustain the Senate in thia
ooaree. Sooner or later the President will
discover that iie was light in one ot his earlie*!
declarations, uamcly, that the Government
ought to be conducted behind glass doors. Il
he had so conuiu'ted it in the ina'.u 1 of re?
movals aud appointments, ho would not now
bc distrusted as he is by good citizens of both
parties.
The majority rej ort of the Judiciary Com?
mittee of the Senate will be lound substan?
tially in lull on the thud page of TbbTbab
i'nk. Therein are let forth tho reaaone which
haw moved the Republican Senators to as?
sume their pit-sent attitude, and they are un?

TUE HARLEM RIVER URI HOE REPORT.
The report of the Harlem River Illidge Com?
mission, sent to the Assembly in complianre
with Mr. Hamilton's resolution, and printed
elsewhere in this morning's issue, is bj DO
moans a candid paper. Rut though it tails to
make clear several points upon winch tiie As?
sembly demanded light* it will serve to show
the taxpayer* of New- York that Thi Tumi m..
hy ita resolute exposure of this job in ipite ol
tbe extraordinary thing* said iiml dona by the
Commissioner* to conceal tm-ir performances,
bal saved the city lroui being bound by a mon?
strous contract. The denial ol the Commis?
sioners that such il contract had ever been
signed made io tins public and responsible way,
nu) be taken as Bufflcienl evidence thal tbe
city la not now threatened by it at nil events.
Vet David Jame* King told a Taisuits reporter
iu the presence Ol Vernon ll. i'.nr.vii thal the
eontract had been "signed, sealed and de?
livered." aud tins statement was repented tba
next morning by Mr. Clark, <>f tho Union
Bridge Company. Their motive for such mis
re] ;. sultan.>a I- aol altogether clear.
lt ia ciuii'c led. however, that anch a contract
w.is drawn ii)i iind signed by the Bridge Com?
pany, and that the real reason ?liv it was not
ultimately carried out was because of a doubt
as to whether an artificial stone would he legal
under thc act. It ia not denied thal thc Com?
missioners were practically committed to thia
$2,680,000 plan until thal question arose, and
such indeed is known to be tlie Hut. Why,then,
did they not. candidly answer tbe Assembly'*
questions, and give their reasons for proceed?
ing! Wholly irregular and unusual I Why,
knowing all along th.it the pressure of public
condemnation as expressed through I'm. fain
omi oas tho force which stayed the job, dui
tiny not make a square and frank defence '
i'he reason is apparent. They were caught in
the act of doing au on wholesome and extrava?
gant piece ot business amounting to a betrayal
of the interests committed to their eharge, and
having now got out of it by a legal quibble,
they hitve carefully evaded all queetlon* which
?eek to discover their real purtMSC* snd their
fitness, in vie iv of such purposes, to cont in ur
the work so badly begun. Additional light I*
thrown upon that subject by their acknowl?
edgment that they never consulted any coun?
sel whatever until The Timnc vu reviewed
their proposed contract and showed that by its
provision* every safeguard foi economy was
aband .ned. They had presumably left all
those things to the Union Bridge Company's
counsel.
Having saved tho Commissioners from an act
which would have added gieatjy to their
burden of discredit, wo feel warranted in giv?
ing them a little advice which may te of value
in their further work. Let them abandon their
secret aud mysterious ways, and open their
doors and their books to all citizens who sick
information. Let them give np the service of
the Harlem River estates and devote their
ellorts to tho best interests of those who will
have to pay for their woik and who are already
groaning under a load of taxation camed by
just such jobbery as that which, m ith our BSti*t
auco, they have tinally escaped. Let them
abandon all these schemes involving
$2,000,000, or moro, and, If this superfluous
and unnecessary bridge must be built, let tin ni
adopt a plan that will not cost over 01,200,000.
Let them ask tho Legislature to define their
powers and place a proper limit to their re?
sponsibilities. Let them make competition
open, and, above all, let them consult n good,
discreet, practical lawyer before they commit
themselves to any moro arrangements with
shrewd contractors.
FOR BIMETALLISM ALWAlS.
Here is the old falsehood again : Tm; Trilli?
ng i? tt for gold monometallism." Perhaps
it deludes some who do not read Tiik Trihi xk
at all, or tlo not read with the spirit and the
understanding also. The truth can bo stated
in very few words.
The Triijcxe has never favored mono?
metallism of either sort. It does not believe
or say, and has never believed ur said, that it
nould be better to use gold separately, or silver
separately. It opposes, as it has always op?
posed, aa attempt to iii ive gold out ot USC, or
to diive silver out of use, aud thus has alway*
been in favor of bimetallism. Hence it op?
poses measures which, like the present coinage
act, tend to drive poid out of the country by
foicing Into general uso a ail'er coin actually
worth far less than its nominal value. The
ratio between metals In coinage should be
governed by the indisputably facts ; and if
112 1-2 grains of silver aro in fact worth only
eighty cents, no good can bo done by stamping
that coin one dollar.
Hroadly, nothing can be gained by con?
tinuing to coin a currency that pretend*
to bo worth what it is not worth, or by
trying to settle the silver question without the
assent of any other civili/.ed nation on a ratio
of coinage betweea the two metals. That
roane only tends to drive gold out of the cnn
try, -iud hence is not bimetallism, but naked
silver monometallism.
JOUS lt. Oi iron.
.Tohn B. Gough, the famous tempi rance ad?
vocate, is dead. The career to which he de?
voted himself has not hitherto been regarded
bj the world its equal in Importance to many
others which certainly vield l> US practical bcne
fita to the race. Yet thc difficultles of percep?
tion in thia case are comparatively slight. For
whereas the minister of religion must appeal to
the .ye of faith for recognition o, thc perils
which he seeks to save men from, the preacher
against the dunk evil deals only with tem?
poral concerns, and points his exhorta?
tions and warnings wilh pregnant exam?
ples drawn from everyday affaire. And when
it is considered thal dunk i*^ so intimate
an element of modern civilisation as to be in?
separable from any sound view of domestic life,
or politics, or business, or society, or police, or
charity, orponology ; when, too, it is seen thal
all Its influence is sinister, brutalizing, corrupt?
ing, paralysing and poiaouoos i it ia surprising
that the men who, possessing such power of
exposition as Gkmgh hud, give themselves to
the warfare against this great evil, arc not con?
ceded nundi higher positioju in the general es?
timation.
Whoever seriously studies any of the prob?
lems of the tune is eipeedily confronted by the
drink evil. It swallows up the savings of oper?
atives. It furnishes tho foundation for a
political corruption which threatens disaster to
the Btate. lt counteract* the labors of the
churched lt bailies philanthropy. It rein?
forces socialism and the commune. It keopa
the lowest elaasea brutal and dangerous, and
thoa* next in order Philistine and material.
In a thousand subtle ways, by direction
and Indirection, purposely and as of instinct, it
acts anti re-acts against the progress of human?
ity, everywhere increasing the friction, every?
where making heavier the borden of the re?
former, everywhere rendering more unrespon?
sive tin* masses whoee regeneration is being
attempted. Against this great and power?
ful evil .lohn B. Gough stood all a long
lifetime in battle array. Hla void?sud there
were few more eloquent?wsa heard pleading
for sobriety dilling five and folly yean, almost
wherever tho English tongue I* spoken. The
experience of the niau wa* a *tranajpe ooo.
There can be no surprise that he thought his
work the greatest possible, wben we remember
the scenes bowna f.uuili.ir with, the kind ol
Gaeta ll was his business to cather. Wherever
Im looked he druid the think evil branding Its
victims, besotting them, degrading them, turn?
ing them into twine or tigers alternately.
Ile saw hoiucs ruined, innocent women
mni children sacrificed bv the thousand,
promising career* blasted, honor exchanged lor
shame. Borne of theee things wo all iee even
without searching, but bow many of tl- io'
apoa our knowledge T
John n. Qough acted. He weal before the
people, and with thc lie.nen of Ins recollection*
full upon him he translated ins emotion into
an eloquence thal stirred tin- hearts of Ins
hearers deeply. We need not be grudging In
our estimate "f the good whieh such
ac advocate bas done, We have sober evi?

be of little account who, witb roch .1 brie! in bis

Qougfa assuredly did not. Hi* soul was in
his work, and all who beard him fell
this. Ile had lu iii a dunker, and

VIRQIRLA ASH lin: TARIFF.
When Speaker Carlisle framed bis Committee
on Ways snd Means without a single member
.'rom Virginia or West Virginia, he did great
injustice. Virginia has as deep an Interest in
the maintenance of the turill which defends
American Industrie* ss any other State. De?
pending anon agriculture almost exclusively,
lintier the old Bourbon lcgiine, Virginia was
like a splendidly formed athlete with one hand
tied behind him. Tuc Btate has a Wealth of
minerals and Ol other natural resources fol
manufacturing which very few Slates In the
Union c.in equal. Hut, though om. ol tho old
States, lying cloae to thc Atlantic COaat, it has
aevei fairlj developed those resources. Under
the protective system that development 1ms
grandly begun within the past Eau yeats, and
the iiipoiiriiig of capital and enterprise hom
other parts of this country and from Europe
has contributed greatly to its Dew prosperity.
Tne farmers in many counties know well how
lunch more valuable manufacturing estaUtah
incuts anti mines bavs made their farms, and
the laboring people of every sort have reason to
bless the protective tarin for thc increased
wages they lune realised.
This sort ol thing is not approved or Compre?
hended by the Bourbon Democracy, and is
hated because it threatens ths political power
Of the Old le.tilers. The new nu n, whether they
come, hom fin North or from England, know
thal it is not the inti rest of Virginia to favor the
old policy, under which the State neglected its
mineral resources and its rare manufacturing
opportunities, and hence feel that the Hom bon
politicians are theil cm mies. In return we
shall see the Hom bon members of Congress
voting for any tarin bill that will strike down
the new industries of Virginia, prevent tho de?
velopment of its resources, destroy the value
of property la which millions oi .capital have
been invested, reduce Wilges and the di mund
for labor to the old level, and render brail
worth no more than they iim-i1 to be. The mar?
vel is that Virginia siill blindly elect* such
men and upholds so ruinous a policy.

GENERAL BUT LL R'S OPIE WES.
IXTEHESriNG TALK ON MANY TOPICS.
GARLAND, SHARP, CLKVKI.ANP, 1889, AN'D 8ILVEB
AMI INO THU 8C3JKCT8 DISCUSSED.
General Ii. F. Butler waa sittinj? contentedly
In a rapacious parlor at tho Fittb Avenne Hotel laat
night when a TiimtNK reporter called on him. F.very
.us burner In tho brilliant chandelier was lighted, includ?
ing the argand drop light. There was a glowing bed of
anthracite coals in tho open grate. On the big centre
tiii.lo was a copy ot the New Testament, a huge volume
in largo type Inscribed with a memorandum of tts pro*
se-ntatlon to the hotel by the Votm* Men's Christian
Association. There was also a folded opy ot The Eten
ini) Pott. Tbe General was occupying a large arm?
chair, whoso stuffed silos were closely Ulled by hla
rotund and capacious form. Ile was reading in the
Bible. The reporter had only time to see that it waa
the gospel according to St. Matthew that was engaging
Ua attention, when the Oeneral turned hts face and
opened his big eyes to look the reporter over. The bald
spot e.n the General's head ts spreaellng with tne adv anea
of years. Only a fringe ot loug silky gray hair now
makes pretence of covering hts scalp. He wears a lilt ot
gray side whiskers less tban two Inches in length oa
either side of his face.
" I have come to see If you have any news," said the
BSWS gatherer when the greetings of acquaintanceship
had boon passed.
" You have come io the wron?? place for tfftvs," replied
Peates! Butler. " You active fellows on tbe press oiijfU
to know a great deal more thau 1 do."
?? I Ma tlni't you are quoted In an interview as defend?
ing Mr. Garland iu his telephone stock transaction!"
* Not exactly us defending lum. I said, what I am
free to say again, that there was nothing wrung lu Mr.
Garland's action, ns far BS the public knows or can see

ernment aflectlng his slock, but loft the decision as to
those suits to others fully competent t-> d>-< Ide and in
SO way biased. What else could he BSVS donel Tho
fact that he received the stock three yearn before ho

"1 do not agree with you. The it-Hows who wanted

" .-jonie ncrsoiis thiuli," said the it-porter, " that lt will

" Then-ts no one else who anywhere near approaches
him tn his own party. It ls possible he may be renom

- There ia some little talk ihat Jillie l-'oraker may ba

-You may set lt down as a fact that for many wars

He has kept Malno as a September State. It will lie

" May uot Congress grow a maul"
" There is nothlug on which to grow him. Tho rule U
that a member of the House rarely develops into TASS*

nothing in tho oouttst bet iv eeu the Senate aud the Pres?

Il ls like a reflection on seveuty-ecven of them If the

tbat they hail us good a right to be elevated as he bad.
Ho they take mighty good care that no oue of their own
number gets any support that they can withhold from
him. They can wltuhold enoutili to prevent auy follow

1 or the first time in the hour's chat tbo General bete
showell signs if a wish to examine ihe Pott which lay on
his table. Ho picked li up aud running ito-v.i its
caluiuue called atteutlon to tbe tact that Morrison tai
boen Instructed liy the Ways ami Means Committee to
report a bill to instruct the Secretary of tbe Treasury to
takei|iUKt,(MKM>UOot the silver dollars willoh have ac
0 miniated in the Treasury and bay bouda with thein.
llo said about the bill:
? I'll* measure ls ono that should meet favor. It is a
good bill. I uitderstnnil that Morrison Introduced lt la
ilia committee In order to draw a lluo for the Deni oe rat le
party. He says that the party ls iu tavor of the meas?
ure, while the ''resident ls against lt. He declares thal
the Administration ls Kapil divan lu its policies. lu tba
coiniulttoe,if reiort says truly, hts statement WBBSBBn
llrmod by the fact that all tho D mioc'ate vote.l to report
tho bill ov.e.pt Hewitt of New Yura, aud all tbe Repub?
licans voted not to report lt except one. The bill can ba
passed through both houses. It way be aide lo j-asa
over the veto that lt will probably em minter, mere la
no roason why Wall rttre-et should howl against it. The
1 omls WSSS made payable in gnM or silver. The Uar*
eminent made an option. Now lt takes the option. Il
deeliles to pay In silver. Tbo men tu Wall Btieet, who
might hold bonds, will aoon nave paid hack the silver
they receive tor them in the taxes they aro ealled on te
pay at the Custom House. Ko it will go back Sa tho Gov?
ernment ugalu after all. Tho taking up of ono huudred
millions of bonds would sot loo io ihat much unney tot
which tho pusMSSSBS would desire Investment. Business
would thereby ho gio it ly Btiuiulatod."
