The passage of the bill to give their lands to
the Indians in severalty must be set down to
the credit of the XLlXth Congiess. it pa-sed
the House yesterday and a* soon as the small
ditlerences with tnt- *?*? nate are adjusted, it will
of course receive the President's sanction.
The measure is not perfect, but it is an excel?
lent beginning. Under its provisions, if they
are wisely administered, the red mau will
cease to be a miserable pauper and have a
cbance to become a self-supporting, self
respecting citizen of the I'nited States,
Tne temperance people in Ohio should oe
well satisfied now, and doubtless tlie more sen?
sible ones among them aro so. Tho Dow tax
law has just been sustained as constitutioi.nl
by the Suiiiemo Court of the State, lt taxes
gin-shops tfil'UD a year, aud minor liquor stores
$100. Practically it will work as a hii-ih
liceuse law would. At the same time, it ss iii
allow local option to towns of o.er 2,COO in?
habitants. High license and prohibition are
thus set side by side, aud it will be interesting
and instinctive to compare the resulting gains
to Morality, law and order.
The Health Hoard at present is not regarded
With entire contideoce by well-informed INew
Yorkers, but it certainly is able to detend itself
?figoiously against the ridiculous statements
communicated to the Board of Kstimaleaud Ap?
portionment on Monday by the Commissioners
of Accounts. These high-priced othciala
should make the investigations they .undertake
more thorough. The Health Board's reply to
their letter shows that it abounds (to put it
mildly; iu conspicuous inaccuracies.
In less thau a year and a half tho owners of

The arro., of Mr. Dillon. Mr. O'Brien and
several other Irish Nationalist* in County Gal
way, yesterday. Indicates that the Tory Gov?
ernment of England have again resolved upon
vigorous measures against tho H plan of cam?
paign." The charge is conspiracy to defraud
tho landlords. It marks a departure from the
previous line of prosecution, fur tho first airest
of Mr. Dillon was lo show cause why ? crimi?
nal information should not be lodged agninst
him for his utterances at Longford. Ho
certainly could not have been convicted on that
charge anywhere in Ireland, unles*. perhaps, at
Belfast, and the authorities probably had
found that out. Tho present actlot will be less
dirticult for the prosecution to manage, but
there is only a slight possibility that any jury
on the Island will find these men guilty.
THE BROADWAY COSSPlRATtlRS,
Tiik Tribune haa been charitable and gen?
erous in giving good advice to the ctinspiiators
involved in the Broadway crime, both thoso
who put up tho money for the puichase of tho
Aldermen's votes and thoso who received it.
It has assured them repeatedly that the wisest
course for them was to confess their guilt and
throw themselves on the mercy of the court.
In this way they would save both the city cud
themselves a groat deal of expense?them?
selves, because the feee of lawyers who consent
to defend ? boodle " rascals are 1 ni nous;and
tho city, because the cost of such trials as those
of Jaehne and McQuade is extremely large.
If they will free their burdened souls and ap?
peal to the Hecurder to deal ns tenderly with
them us.he can, the community will nut object
to feeing a year or two taken oft their teruiB in
Sing Sing. But for stiff-necked and rebellious
criminals, who persist in hardening their
heart*, there should be no compassion. Mc?
Quade, of course, ought to be condemned to
every day of imprisonment which the law per?
mits, for he has been most obdurate ami in?
solent and has put the people to their trumps
to convict him.
Now that McQuade has gone down in spite of
his stubborn resistance, what hope can there be
for the others ? McQuade succeeded iu enlist?
ing the services of some of the most adroit,
keen and resourceful la Tyers at tho criminal
bar to be found in the city or couutry. They
stuck at nothing in their eflorts to get him ofl,
straining every device of the law, ovory strata?
gem of practice, every scheme that wits of tho
sharpest edge and thc longest polish could divine
to save him. Bo far were they carried in their
zeal for their guilty client that thev seemed
reckless of what the honost people of New
York might think of their extraordinary tllorts.
McQuade was defended most resolutely, even
desperately. It was a great triumph fur Dis?
trict-Attorney Mirtine and Assistant Districi
Attorney Nicoll to overcome so rugged and ob?
stinate a resistance. They nave well trained
their Christmas holi lay.
But I gio un) tm.8 indeed will tho next three
weeks prove for tho rascals win* pushed
fhrous.li the l.roudwiy fr.incliiso by bribery.
While innocent and 1 glit-hearted people are
feasting and enjoying to the full tho delights
of the merriest nu.l most bountiful part of the
year, thoy will bo gnawing their hearts in
bitterness ot anxiety and fear, and looking
lorward to Sing Sing fasts and hardships next
year. Kccor'ler Smyth, the District-Attorney
and his assistants, the members of thc juiy (in
cluding lirst and foremost the ur.ich-tii.iliuiied
Rooenberjr), will eat their ChriatmM dinnu-t
and receive their Christmas gifts with the
serene cotifaciousness of duty well performed.
Hut for bribe-givers ann bribe-takers there is
darkness and gnashing of teeth. Only imme?
diate conles-ion and the stool of repentance
can even mitigate their punishment.
THE DH'LISE AM) THE CA CSE.
It is important to understand that the pre?
vailing c-jnditioii8 of business and fndnstry,
outside of speeulathe markets, are not such as
to make the set-back in stocks in Wall Street
a sign or a parent of disaster. Beyond ques?
tion, the trade of tho country in nearly every
branch has been decidedly larger autl moro
profitable than it was last year. Industry has
been reinaikably well emt loyed. The produc
ticn of wealth has probably been greater dill?
ing the past year than in any year preceding.
Collections have been easy and satisfactory in
almost all sections, though some weakness in
that respect has appeared at tin- South, and also
in that section some depressinn in business, and
it is worthy of note thal the audacious advance
of prices of Southern securities, in the fin iii
conditions less satisfactory in that than in other
sections, has been the peculiar feature of the
stock market which has amused most distrust.
During the past six months, then, the legit?
imate busiuess of tho cruntry has been such as
to justify a material improvement in the prices
of seem it ies, and that fact should not be for?
gotten because some stocks have been advanced
much more than the circumstances warranted.
it this were all, it would be safe to dismiss the
Wall Street set-back as ono of those artificial
movements which are incident to all over?
active speculation?a liquidation in which
things unduly advanced lindi heir true level,
and persons who have built too largely on cred?
it and risked too rashly tho money of others
come to grief. Buf that is not quite all, and it
is as impottant t.> see the possible dangei that
exists as to realize that the reverse was not due
to any pa**t weakness in legitimate business.
The coming of a seshiuii of Congress is always
a disturbing element. Especially where theie
isa Democratic majority in the House, fired
with passionate desire to chango the laws re?
garding tho currency, the railroads and tho
taritl, the fear ol such legislation inevitably
has a depreishig tendency. This year the rea?
sons for distrust have been obvious, while the
ground for confidence in the good sense of the
Senate or of the President have liol been us
cleatly sho**. ii. Tho House threatens a change
of tbe tarill, and that disturbs Ibo calculations
il manufacturers generally. It threatens tm"
limited coinage of silver, ai.d Ihat weakens tho
confidence ol bankers and lenders. It proposes
to regulate the railway system, on a plan which
is regarded with great alarm by owners and
managers of railway property, and in that pur?
pose, unfortunately, the Senate has been ready
to concur. This immediately affects the value
of railway securities both here and abroad.
Boat, decline in prices, under such circum?
stances, would have been natural, even if the
market hail not been prepared by undue spec?
ulation for a sharp reverse. Coming at such a
time, and with such a reason, the reverse has
been sharper than usual because there was less
confidence to induce buying when a decline had
occurred.
Thus the primary cause of the reverse, so far
us it is not merely a speculative liquidation, in
the threatened action of a Democratic Mouse.
For such reverses the country must bo prepared
as long as il elects im-n wtiose notions of states?
manship lead them to threaten industrie.s and
disturb values. The Inter-State Commerce bill
has made a serious decliuu possible, instead of
an ordinary set-back, aud its passage would
probably cause material depreciation in (recur
ities. But industry and general business are by
no means so endangered by this measure as by
the threatened Tanti and Silver bills, which, if
passed or thought likely to pa**, Weitild produce
uepreasion of .a different character. At present,
instead of the closlnr of many factories mills
and mines, and a goneral depression in the
prices of goods, there is only a liquidation in
stocks which was in part, at least, Justified by
previous un wan anted advances.
THE TRUTH IS TIIE CUTLERY MATTER.
Even In this Christmas season of peace and
good-will, The Prming Pott can't stop growl?
ing. But if lt wants its snarls received with
anything but an used contempt it should keep
within hailing distance ot the mit h. Its insin?
uations concerning Tm-'. Truu'nk's publication
of extracts from Special Agent Osborn's report
on cutlery importations are worthy emly of a
brain stimulated and iullamed by wor*u wood.
In ita vicious hostility to every American in?
dustry and its unscrupulous championship of
importers who are trying to ruin the American
cutlery mills, it insinuates that thc publication
in Tiik Tkihi'NK was procured and paid for by
American manufacturers of cutlery. That is a
grotesque falsehood, without a shadow or
scintilla of foundation, known to be
such by everybody interested, and no doubt
believed to be such by the Editor who
nevertheless utters the calumny in the hope
that it may be contemptuously passed without
contradiction.
The interviews with cutlery manufacturers
which aro printed elsewhere in this issue of
Tm; TeMMMI show the troubles they encounter
from undervaluations in this brauch of trade.
These statements will undoubtedly be read with
satisfaction in the oflice of 'Ihe J'ott. Every
indication that American mills, which come
into competition with tbe underpaid labor of
Germany, are unduly handicapped in the rival?
ry with imported goods, is greeted with joy by
the unprincipled moralist, whose utterances
on the subject of chastity long ago removed all
doubts as to his character, tastes and sym?
pathies. ,______?_______???____.
THE CONSULT l IONAL < DSYESTIOS.
A timely discussion ha. begun throughout the
State of the preliminary questions growing out
of the decision of the people at the late election
in favor of holding a Constitutional Conven?
tion. What shall be the size of tho convention 1
When shall the amendment be submitted to
the people? Shall thc convention be non-par?
tisan T Shall the membership bo appointed ttl
elected! Such aro the leading questions now
being industriously canvassed.
The attempt to determine what would be tho
proper sue of such M convention baa revealed
much difference of opinion. lt is atgued, on
the one hand that the membership ought net to
be inlicit greater than 100] and on the other
that it might judiciously be as large as 200 or
even 300. The advocates cf the (-niall body
would seem to take for theil motto, "Too many
cooks rsii<>iI tno broth," ami those of the large
body to tako fur theirs, " in a mult ilude of
counsellors there is wisdom." As to the general
election at which the amendment shall be sub?
mitted to the people, tli.it of ionise depends in
part upon tue dato of the convention's organiz
ation and its dm al ion. S -ould thc Lcgirslatuic
be prompt ni passing the necessary bill, the con?
vention might assemble early next spring and
adjourn niue die in season lo enable tho voters
to pass upon its work at the November election
oil****". But if for any reason the amend?
ments do n-.-t reach tho people next full, then,
in thc opinion of some of our contemporaries,
they should not bo submitted until 1889.
Those who advance this view argue that to
submit the amendments iu 1888, a Presidential
vein, will bc to Crowd them into the background
and In nee pievent them receiving the thought?
ful consideration at the hands of the voters in
which they Will be entitled. General Unsted
has announced that at an early day of the ses?
sion of thc Legislature he will introduce a bill
pro?hiing for thc election of delegates to tho
convention by Assembly Districts. Thia prop?
osition has met with a g.iod deal of favor?and
a good deal of disfavor. Its opponents inni?t
that a convention of a fairer temperament could
be secured by awarding the saino number ol
delegates to both of the two great political
parties. Some of those of this way of thinking
are in favor of allowing tne Governor to ap?
point the delegates with tho consent of the
Senate.
lt will be the duty of the Legislature careful?
ly to consider these questions. A CouMiiii
tnmal Convention of collrae ought to be com
pooed of ibo foremost men of the State in point
of ability, experience in public allans and gen?
eral tiu-tworthiiiess. That point kept in view,
it will not make so much diflerencc whether the
body is large or small, or whether its prepond?
erating element is Republican or Democratic.
Nor is it a mutter of vital importance when the
amendments are submitted, so long as there is
no extraordinary delay. "The Constitution as
it i-," whatever its imperfections, is by no
means a bad instrument. \V"iild that all the
laws were as satisfactory ea the Constitution !
A good deal is to be said in regard to what
should be the political character of the) con?
vention. It is not unnatural that the Repub?
lican-*, having a majority In tho next Legislat?
ure and therefore being responsible for the
character of its outcome, should be unwilling
to provide for a convention of colorless colitli s.
Of course the members-elect raallM thal il the
woik ot the convention can be said to be taint?
ed by partisanship there is every chance of its
being rejected by tlie people and hence brought
to i.augl't. Tlie coining Legislatuic contau.s a
large number of sagacious, level-headed men,
so that lt is confidently to bo expected that the
matter of the convention will be disposed of so
as to meet the best expectations.
RU ll EAU OP SA VI il ATHIS.
The ship-owners of B.it'i, Maine, havo np
pontcd a committee to proceed to Washington
to protest ngair.st the ruining of navigation
interests by admitting foreign ships to Amer?
ican register. We understand that tho same
committee* composed mainly of Democrats,
practically neutralise their iofoeoce with teu
sible men by upholding tlie nomination of
Charles B.Morton for Commissioner of Navi?
gation.
Ttot Marine .(muni,, of this city, published
solely in tho navigation interest and without
political bias, reg,mis Morton'." appnintmt nt as
** a shameless prostitution of the utily oflice ar
Washington to who*.i: cine bas been committed
tbe oversight of American shipping and tho
proper administration of tho litigation laws.''
It considers the President's COMM ** mortifying
mid humiliating,'- and grimly suggests that
iietcafter u the farmers of the country be lent
to sea and the sailors put to digging potatoes."
21m Marun ./mini tl further affirms that Cap?
tain ratten, who is reii.oied by the l'lisidetit,
"isa busine-s man and a diligent worker, and
was lelected solely with reference to his em?
inent fitness to conduct this ollice." The Jour?
nal also describes Morton ns u a niau who has
never held any position of responsibility or
gained the confidence of a single community ;
a man who lias ncitncr trade nor profession,
but is utterly uneducated in any art or science,
especially in regard to ships on tue sea."
The partisan spirit at Washington is so sharp
ut present that it may be idle to make any ap?
peal to a Democratic Senator to withhold his
approval from an appointment so utterly uu'lt
ns that of Morton, but we do not give up tho
hope that they may bo made to reflect thal the
interests of a bureau whoso proper direction
may involve the safety of proimfty and the
safety of human life ut sea. should not bo com
mftted to the care of an Ignorant man. Bot if
Democritlc Senators are nnwilling to pay heed
to these .grave considerations, we hope there is
no Republican Senator who, cither from care?
lessness or a senso of comity, will consent to
the confirmation of a man for an important
oflice for which he has not a single qualification
and of the Hrsi duties of which he knows
nothing whatever.
TIIE RELIEF OP EM IS REY.
There will be reason for regret if the sudden
recoil of Mr. Henry M. Stanley does not prove to
be for the relief of Kniln P.ey. No man is better
fitted to direct nn BXped-ttOfl to Wndyly than
be who "discovered Livingstone." nnd the rei cut
niiniiiinrciiieiit tbat tbe British f.overnin-'tit has
favorably cousideied lils pluns gives ground for
hope tbat he will bc chosen for thc work.
For more than three years and a half Dr, Kmin
nnd his comrades bu ve been practically Isolated
from the civilized world. They are ot Wadyly,
nenr Gondokoro, on the Nile, about, nine hun Ired
miles beyond Khartoum. Savage hordes swarm
about, them, a sin_le tribe beting an army of
100,000 men largely armed willi muskets. Against
terrible odds Ihe brave German naturalist ha* held
out, ph did his old leader, Gordon, year after year,
wearily look in: to Buiopo for help that has not
vet (onie. On .January I last he wrote that he
was In peet straiUs, but hoped lo hold out a little
longer. In April he wrote again, sending his
letter by Dr. Junker. Ills collections of srecl
mens of i. it ural history ked nil been lost, but
he had prtrserved the valuable results of his
geographical work. On .Inly 7 he wrote for the
third time, expressing lillie hope of rescue, but
dedarin. that he would stand by his *>ost till the
Government or death removed bim, or until lur
could provide for the safety of thc vast popula?
tion he had saved from thn ravages of thc slave
trade. Since that date no word has come from
him, the hostile attitude of the powerful Killi of
Uganda having blocked thc last line of communi?
cation.
So tbe situation stands. A myriad of blood?
thirsty savages are held at amy by a handful of
Kuropeans and a few faithful negro troops, of
whom Dr. Kmin says that they arc trusty nnd
ablo in the highest degree?"a nuts second to
none, in rapacity nnl excelling many others in
unselfishness.'' Hut tbe end must come, and soon ;
and unless a relief corps nils its way In there
is but one end pei-sibte. 'Ilie British (iove-iniin-iit
alone cini provide tho material force, and Mr.
Manley can best supply the. directing mind. If
they Sd promptly, they may yet avert the fate
tbat befell Gordon at Khartoum from Gordon's
legra] lieutenant at Wadyly.

THE ACADEMY EXHIBITION.
(Second Setleo.)
There is plenty of descriptive landscape painting lg
tbe Academy exhibition, but, aside from the pioturso
of Mr. lb.ri.i-r Martin and one or two other-, tlu-re ls
little expression of Imagination. Mr. Martin does not
concern himnell with the exact lacts of a natural scene.
He is not a painter of obje-ots, but rather an interpn-ter
of Ihe tceliuj- which a landscape vu tn .1 uneler certain
conditions ol light and shade- snd coloring produce*!
upon himself. His picture In the west Kallery ls sin.ply
an attempt to prenent the melancholy quiet ot aq
Hutu-nu evening with its monotonous coloring. Ibero
are figures, but these aius*>e.l gatherers with tb ir
curious likeness to shore-t inls are no more thai
ac.cnts. Technically they are weale, tor Mr. Martie
cannot challenge aei i.irrition by technical clererne-is.
But the spectator carries away an impr-tsnion ol th*
twilight hour which is conveyed in more pictorial le.rm
bv the pie*ture ot a pool surrounded by sbadowy trees
which hangs in the north gallcr**. An architect would
be puzzled to reconstruct the "Old Manor" Irom this
picture, but tbis sympathy with the peculiar beauty of
the gloaming has a charm not to be found io arnhi.
too rural or topographical d- -eripfions which pass
currrent as " works of art." Mr. Kiaki-lock, by
different tm finnie, is working in a similar direeUou,
and this year he sends the most ambitious picture
which be has shown us. In this as in many of
Rousseau's landscapes a noble tree is the centm,
painted simply with a view to the effect ot general
forms against a sky lit by the tull moon, and not with
tbe loving fidelity and patient detail of Durand. There
ls the glint of liirht upon water and a vague suggestion
of the cool depths ot the dark lorest, but bevond the
tranquil dignity of tho central tree, the observer must
supply the picture's meaning. For Mr. Hlakelock, in
his enthusiasm tor rich low coloring and heavy glazes,
allows himself to be carried too far. Mere blackness
is not iiespiiing anet here there is altogether too much.
Tbe larger features of his picture bave some form ;
they are a little moro than silhouettes, but the picture
lacks transparency and depth, and the artist snow*
more plainly than before the need of out-door study
and broader tecLnioal training. Thc t.tuition ot paint?
ing bits of secnei- with an eye to decorative coloiing
is best illustrated in Mr. Murphy's yellow and gold
autumnal scenes, and the same tendency is repre^ente'l
in varying degrees by the pictures ot Messrs. Crane,
Dewey, Eaton, Rir, Ochtmann, Fitlcr, Kost and Hai
broiick. Mr. Cox sends a stuel.y of hill slopes varied by
light and shade, mulei neath a charmingly delicate
sky, and Mr. J-'. C. J..!.??- han painted a clever out-de>or
stuely, a shore scene in a glaring light, with a figure
well lu relict against reJeiish loe.ti. Mr. (Jay bas
p.unit* I another large view of salt marshes which
lacks the utinoesphere ot bis last year'* picture and ls
over-riduen by a ?'noisy " eky. Mr. Kuiseda has
attempted to invent tue realism of modern nie ?nh
pictorial ?*flectiveness, auel hu painting ul an express
train thundering across a marsh in tin* twilight is not
unimpressive, Boee and there in the-galleries either
landscapes will bs fouml which will hold the- visitor
fur a nie,ment, like those ot Me?s.-?. C. EL Davis,
