That an acute MOM of hearing is a good
thing in _ detective is proved once m.i. by tho
um.t of thico voting burglars who talked over
their plans in a restaurant within earshot of
two of laapactOf Hyrnes's men. They "gavo
themselves away" in the easiest manner possi?
ble and were pounced upon as soon as they
entered the shop which they had "cracked."

The strike of the miners will probably not
long be maintained unbroken if the feeling
shown by a. vote at tho William Penn colliery
is at all general. On the question of con?
tinuing the strike thero were ll- valet in tho
affirmative and 106 in the negative. It is said
that the old miners are disposed to resume
work and that they are irksome under tho
leadership of the younger men. A single break
in tlie ranks of tho strikers will speedily bc
followed by the collapse of the movement.

Bo well aware were men inteiested in land
and similar claims ol the b-BueflK*. that South?
ern members of Congress had with Mr. Lamar
when at the head of tho Interior Department
that some of them were shrewd enough to
Mem. such members as nssociatc counsel. In
some important oases Mr. Lamar not only lent
a willing ear to these attorneys, but even ac?
cepted their argument as the basis for lils
rulings It v. iii be interesting to note how far
this habit abides w ith him in case of his con?
firmation as Supreme Court Justice.
No Berle, of articles on "Proachois Worth
Hearing" in and about New-York would bo
complete that omitted Dr. John Hall. His is
one of the foremost and best known of all the
city's churches. Its interest in the welfare of
tho poorer c lasses is shown by the fact thal it
oup]x*rts throe flourishing nvssions. for which
E collection amounting to ?12,000 was taken
yesterday morning. Dr. Hall fumishea a
thining illustration of faithfulness and dili?
gence in a minister. In the twenty years of
li'l pastorate hore he has, during the working
part of the year, never been absent from his
pulpit except on two Sundays.
Republican organization on the lines pro?
jected at tho recent convention of clubs in this
,>ity is going forward so vigorously and so sat
lifactorily as fully to justify the hopes of tho
men who devised this plan of stirring up He
publicans throughout the country. Naturally,
the members of the Executive Committee feel
greatly encouraged. A particularly gratifying
feature of tho work is the interest manifeoted
k/ members of tho party who in general care
little for political organitationo. Thio move?
ment is a popular one- That it will be a oscful
one no one can doubt who knows what is being
done and the earnest spirit of those who are
doing it.
??
It appears lhat wo arc giving our English
friends something to worry about as well as
something to rejoico over. Mr. Cleveland's
free-trade message, as is well known, was re?
ceived wiih acclamations of delight in Croat
Britain. Tho work undertaken by thc Ameri?
can Shipping and Industrial League is rogardod
thero with dismay. This feeling, naturally.
will not be diminished when tho proceedings
l of the League's National Convention, which
' opens in Washington this afternoon and con
| tinues for three days become known on the
other side of the Atlantic The programme of
the convention waa printed in yesterday's
TniniNF.. The sessions will not be devoted
solely to papers, however able or learned.
Rome practical method of reviving our ship?
ping interests will doubtless be devised, nnd
embodied in a bill for presentation to Congress.
TIIE HIGH LICENSE RILL.
Tho High License bill is now before thc
Legislature, and it becomes of the highest im?
portance to know what the responsible majority
intend to do w ith it. It is true that this is nut
properly a political question, but tho Demo?
crats in tho Legislature last winter mado it so
by voting steadily against it, and Governor
Hill confirmed it as such by vetoing thc bill
for political motives. The Republican mem?
bers of the present Legislature cannot shut
their eyes to facts like these, which have an
[ obvious bearing on tho future. The Demo?
cratic party is not less the friend of thc licjuor
I dealers than lt was twelve months ago. and if
tho High License bill receives any Democratic
support, it is not likely to be great. The Re?
publican majority must know that thc practical
| handling of the whole matter rests with them,
' and that everything depends upon their acting
wisely and with a common purpose.
Tho overwhelming public sentiment in be
! half of some form of decidedly restrictive
j legislation will not be satisfied, if the Ropub
| lican majority, especially in the Assembly,
allow serious divisions to spring up on this
question. The diversion of a small number of
votes would bo sufficient to break their control
of lopislation. and involve the party in a
humiliating failure to redeem its plcdtros.
L'nder theso circumstances, it becomes the duly
of Republican members to endeavor to discover
what measure offers the promptest and most
effective method of dealint; with Ihe question
and is supported by the largest share nf public
opinion, and then, waivin. minor differences,
push thal, to a conclusion M rapidly as possible.
If it encounters a veto, and sticks lhere, then
other measures mav be attempted, until lhey
havo either succeeded In forcing a law upon
, the statute-book, or have convinced the people
of the Stato that the kind of temperance lepis
latirm thev want, cannot be had un'il lliev put
a Republican in Ihe Gr-Veruor. chair.
The Hi_h License bill. Introduced by Mr.
Crosby, seems to deserve the preference rn 'his
movement. Tl is based upon a careful studv of
oxistinp lawn in all Stuffs where TItt_h Licence
has been found successful, and it fs wor'h
nofin?j, in pa*-?in_. lhat Hi eh Licence never
fails. Tt is framed bv n non-partisan, non?
sectarian ioint committee ron resent in-? f j,_ Cit j.

the bevt evperieneo and the hiph^st pvinc pie
on this snb'ect. Tt seems to n? thif the a iee
course, both from a pohlic and a patty po;nt nf
view, is for the Republicans to accept it with
such modifications n?. mav be found neer?siry.
nnd eive Covernor Pill as ouickly as po-<.p)lo
his choice of si sri in? or vetoing it. Tf he si.n
it. a law that will not only vnMfly reduce
drunkenness and crime but will greatly di?
minish the burdens of taxpayers, w:H qo upon
tho statute-book, and Pie Republican party
will halve the credit of puttin? it fh'-re ff he
veto it, the Republican parly will not be re?
sponsible for its failure, and will receive as
much cred't as if the bill had beer nie a law.
Governor Hill, on Pie other hand, will deal a
hard blow at Ids friends, the liquor-dealers, by
sipntnp it ; and by veloinp lt. will de-trov his
last claim lo sincerity, for Ihe bil has been ex?
pressly framed to meet his objections.
To do a publio service like this. and. at fhe
same time, tn win such .1 patty advantage, it is
worth while lo concede | few differences on
minor pt.inls We believe Uiat ft will be enud
eifizenship and shrewd politics to push tho
High License bill, and that alone.
BEN RI NO SKA ON CK MORE.
Tho annual report of the Governor of Alaska
contains ollicial information relating to the
recent seizures in Behring Sea. Three of the
captured vessels escaped, but eleven were
taken to Sitka by the revenue cutters and
judgment of forfeiture was formally decreed
against ten of them (live British) with cargoes
of 11,721 seal skins. Tho report contain! the
biiefs of the Queen's counsel and Collector
Delaney in the legal proceedings at Sitka, with
the opinion of the court overruling Pie de?
murrer. Tlie argument of the United States
counsel and the decision of the court w ci e baaed
upon exclusive jurisdiction established by
peaty with Russia and by CongreMJonil legis?
lation. Tho claim of the Queen's counsel that
tho I'nitcd States challenged in 1822 the as?
sumption of absolute sovereignty over Reining
Sea and that Russia subsequently receded from
its position, is shown to bc ill-founded. Tho
treaties which Russia made with the I'nitcd
States and Great Britain in 1821 and 1926
refelled to the Pacific Oman, but not to the
land-locked Behring Sea. of which the treaty
of cession was a deed of partition. The court
at Silka held that Russia's jurisdiction over
Behring Sea had never been questioned, much
less sui rendel ed, and that af Ut the purchase
Congress had a clear and unmistakable right to
extend .American sovereignty to those waters.
Tho Governor in his report asserts that thc
National Administration is determined to main?
tain the right of exclusive jurisdiction over thc
American hali of Behring .Sea. lie remarks
lhat no other inforenoo can be drawn from the
seizures during the last year. It would seem
so; but the diplomatic correspondence has not
yet been published. Secretary Bayard is
known to have a fatal genius for sum ndering
j\merican rights and compromising national
intorests. He may have undone by correspond?
ence all that the revenue service and the Alaska
courts have been doingfor the prevention of
poaching on tho American seal preserve's. Ho
may have turned pale when he saw the an?
nouncement that two British men-of-war, thc
Kwiftsuro and another, had been sent to
Behring Sea. and that Admiral Heneage, who
is to command tho Pacific attation, had re?
marked in Montreal that ho would not allow
a British vessel to bc seized outside tho threc
milo limit nnd that tho homo Government!
? would back him up" Secretary Bayard may
ordinarily bo trusted to favor thc British view
of any international question ; and when thero
is particularly loud talk from Victoria or
Ottawa about a finn policy of resistance to
American aggression ho is almost certain to
?surrender at discretion.
A rOOL-^ELLtR AH FAYMA3TKR.
Collector Magone is a representative Re?
former of this Reform Administration, and he
baa made some model Reform appointments.
Perhaps tho most striking and remarkable of
theso is tho selection of Mose- Dinkclspiel.
employo and associate of a noted firm of pro?
fessional gamblers and law-breakers, for tho
important and responsible place of Paymaster
in tho Auditor's Department of thc Custom
Mouse. Mr. Dinkclspiel has managed the
finances of tho notorious firm of faro-bank
keepers and pool-sellers, John Daly ic Co.,
whose sumptuous gambling rooms aro among
the chief attractions of Pong Branch during
Ihe summer season to those who wish to risk
a fortune on the turn of a card. John Daly
iV. Co. havo also been conspicuous at all the
chief Eastern race-courses for many years, and
Mr Dinkclspiel has decorated their betting
stand, shouted the odds and cheerfully ac?
cepted the waders of all who wished to specu?
late on the chances of favorite horses.
Tn the fluctuating financial operations which
always attend the manipulations of faro-decks,
Uie spinnifig of roulette wheels, nnd tho un?
certain investments on thc odds of horse
racing. Mr. Dinkclspiel has shown himself
nimble, expert and adroit. Hts proficiency in
theso accomplishments has undoubtedly com?
mended him to tho conscientious scrutiny of
our austere Reform Collector.
Mr. Dinkclspiel will be able to handle the
funds of the Paymaster's office with a dexterity
acquired by long practice with the check-rack
and tho cash-drawer of gambling hells and* a
rwiftness perfected by the rapid handling of
largo bills in the betting-ring at Monmouth
1 _rk. But professional gamblers often havo
a way of correcting any slips of fortune that
might prove unfavorable to them by "stack?
ing" faro cards, by "bracing'' other games of
chance, and bv "stiffening" race-horses The
skirts of John Daly & Co. and Iheir employes
may be clear of all suspicion of such nefarious
practices. Mr. D'nkeNp'el may have \ richly
deserved reputation as a "square gambler."
Rut if ho should happen to forget himself and
"stack" the Paymaster'" accounts, "brace"
the pnv-rolls, or " stiffen" the current cash of
the office. Collector Magone will have a bad
quarter of an hour.
A FLAB OF TLFCTOTtAL R' FORM.
Assemblyman Hamilton hus introduced a bill
fit Albany intended to bring about certain
electoral reforms. It proceeds upon the prin?
ciple that the State, having called for an elec?
tion, should provide and take charge of all tho
machinery necea_ary to ascertain the peuple.
will. This is sound doctrine. Thc gen?
eral plan of Mr Hamilton's bill is to bo
found in the present electoral laws of Ihe
Australian provint-es, which, in a modified
form, Oreat Britain recently adopted. Mr.
Allen Thorndike Rice has Blade a patient study
of this system of voling with result-s familiar
to the public Mr. Rico and Mr Elihu Root
have co-riperib'd with Mr Hamilton in pro
paring this bill. Tn its present shap'- il may,
perhaps, not be all thnt i's liost. but nt least
it brings the problem of electoral reform con?
spicuously before the Leaialatin<_ and offers
the framework of a solution.
The bill provide! that nil ballots shall bo
printed bv the State, bv it distributed to ail Hie
polline-places and there guarded and cared for
abiring tho plOgT*_l of the election Any
or.nnr/od party that baa cast one-tenth of the
votes polled at. the previous election is entitled
to have its nominations placed before Pie peo?
ple in a ticket nnd furnished when called for.
This is done throu.h tim county cleiks of Ihe
various counties or through such other officials
as may have charge of elections. The ballots
are to be in the custody of two clerks, of
different political faith, who shall deliver to
each voter a full set of all Pie ballots printed.
The ballots are to be printed in books fur?
nished with a stub, nod the voter's name is to
be entered on each stub ns ho receives the bal?
lets. Prom all the tickets given him he makes
his choice, destroys in the presence of tho
cdorks those he does not wish to vote and then
casts those he retains accretly, no one being by
except tho offitial clerks and inspectors.
No ono cnn enter the compartment unless he
means then and there to vote, and having per?
formed that aet he must immediately retire.
No ono can print ballots except the person
chosen by the State. No one is permitted to
peddle them about the polling places, and it
il taken as evidence of an unlawful purpose for
I any one to receive ballots which he does not
tither vote or destrov. Tf he attempts to leave
the polling placo without voting he is liable to
Immediate arrest. Tho evils this schemo is
designed to reach are obrioin. Pirst of all.
it aims to prevent (he raising of large corrup?
tion funds by doing away with the excuse fur
them thnt now oM'sf* in the necessity to pro?
vide ballots ate' poll-workers. An election in
this city entafla a great, expense upon the
political parties, which is now met by assessing
candidates Mr. Ibmilton's bill does not
obviate nil expense. Re still requires that the
political pnrtics ?hall help pay for ball,,I-j.
Their order upon the State is to be acoom
vinied bv a pnvment nt the rate of $." for each
thousand tickets required This is n condition
which mav c:i|l for criticism Tt is also clear
Pint other details will need to be more care?
fully studied ont. The complications In the
present bill would almori certainly cause such
delay ns to prevent in many precinct* thc pull
in. of tht* full vote
But the ? egisiatiin- shou'd not fat];,( (fer,, M.s_
-ion to nass a lnw on the lines of the bill pre?
pared by Mr. Hanrlton. The scheme in gen?
eral is good-a great step In the direction
of electoral proe-ross and reform. Ample
opportunity .shonbl be pfpOR f,,r ,lis.
cus-ion and the consch ration of what?
ever amendm.'nts mav be offered. While this
aught not to bo a pnrtv question, there is little
hope that the Democrats will lake any useful
part in solving it. The old wav suits them
very well. Their supremacy Js maintained In
this eitv. and consenuentlv fo tho Slate, by
nsin. the opportunities for fraud which tho
present law affords, and thev are not likely to
ivnnt to change it. Tho whole burden of this
reform is on the Republican majority, snd they
should esteem it ono of their fuai and most
important duties.
THE WARRIr f WOMAN IN Po II Tl ts.
The washerwoman has p,,nc Into politics. She
ciit-n-.l tho political field from Tioga County
unth-r tho escort of dovernor David Kennett Hill,
w th e_-Attorncy Dani* O'llrien acting ns rear
guard Rut yesterday she was n humldc private
citi/i'ii, content with the simple round of. washing,
hanging out to dry, ironing and riear-starching.
To-dny sin; linds herself one of the recolonized
leaders of the Democracy of thia State. Helen
tired Tmy. Sho Arcs Mr. Platt out of tho Quar?
antine t'ommi-sion. Other Democrats Lave gone
for Mr. Haft only to return shorn to the bone and
crying for arnica. Uut this Tioga County wash?
erwoman, who evidently has a genius for militant
politics, makes her debut ns a practical politician
by succeeding where Hill and O'llrien and the
rest scored flat failures. There has been nothing like
it since Minerva sprang full armed from tho brain
of Jupiter.
The future of this washerwoman In politics will
be awaited with no ordinary Interest. If Edward
Murphy, Jr., ls equal to the situation he will
* t.*sign the chairmanship of tho Democratic Com?
mittee In her favor?for lt must occur to him that
she has demonstrated that the place belongs to
her. It ls understood ot Albany that at an early
day the Governor will sent) her name in to the
S< mite for Railroad Commissioner or some other
good ^iing. It is whispered in Tioga County
that she is to be sent as a delegate to the Demo?
cratic National Convention omi will present Mr.
Hill's name for the Presidency. These reports
may be a trite Incorrect In their details. But it
ls evident that if the Tioga washerwoman fulfils
the promise of her Initial iicrformancc in the
field of practical politics, the day is not fur distant
when the bossship of thc* Democratic machine, will
pass into her hands. If that day ever comes she
will And that one of her ebie, duties will be the
waalllag of party lin.n and thnt she will need
more soft soap limn she ever aaed professionally
in Tioga, if her administration is to win golden
opinions from nil the factions.
Thc question that convulses Democratic circles
to-day ki. Who discovered her? Was it Hill or
O'llrien? Did the Governor go In parson to
Tioga County and plead with her to enter publio
life, or did his ex-Attorney-Ccneral take the in?
itiative? It ls doubtful if this line of Inquiry
will ever be met to thc satisfaction of all con?
cerned. But it takes its place on the calendar
under the inquiry, Who first suggested Mr. Cleve?
land for the Presidency? Pending the answer we
may remark that sonio of these days when she
has finished her earthly course the washerwoman
from Tioga may take her place among the con?
stellations that shino in the Democratic sky.
Then shall she be known us tbe starry-eyed goddess
of peanut politics.
Mn ney a sn ni sines*.
Money now comes back to the banks In large
amount. Only a fraction of their heavy gain last
week was due to the Treasury, which managed
by increasing its deposits in banks $1,800,000
to add $1,000,000 to the circulation. Since Janu?
ary 1 it has added about $7,000,000, partly by
interest payments and partly by increasing its
deposits $2,900,000. The shipment of bonds to
Europe last week lichtened Ihe load and lessened
the loans of the "banks, and money ls not only
easier on call, but some banks begin to look
after commercial paper. Interior marketa through?
out thc country, with scarcely an exception, were
a little easier last week, and there were not only
fewer complaints than have recently been heard
of tardy collections, but the reported failures were
thirty five fen et than for the corresponding week
last year The exchanges ore scarcely larger,
because of the large decrease at New-York; outside
of this city the aggregate reflects tin Increasing
volume of business. Rn il way eernfnga on forty
three roods for the first week of January also
show an increase of 17 per cent.
The oflicial statements of December exports nn'
not favorable ; in 'otton the deon PBS was $1 0.771.
327, or nearly 2."r per cent, and la brculsiiifTs
$2.7f.:i,24 7, or more than 20 jut cent, while the
Increase in value of oil exported was but 1308,621.
Tbese returns prepare for a much smaller exoen
Of exports over imports than was Indicated by the
New-York movements alone, and show that the
rise in prices in December shut off exports to a
much greater ext. nt than .peculator! were dla
peeed to admit. No general decline in the level
of prices has begun, howe-,cr. for though bread'
stuffs are about 2 pet cent lower than nt the
beginning of the mooth, meeta less than 1 i>er cent
lower, sn mir nml other articles of the taxed class
and clothing articles l.vs th.m half of I |?t cent
lower, ond nt'-fals a simile lower, an advance in
dairy products, hov and potatoes, omi in coal,
lumber, Umped oil and turpentine, makes the
aggregate a shade higher than Jannarv -I- Stocks
also have scarcely changed t "i cents on the hundred
dollars of nominal traine for two weelo and only
2 1-2 cents per share last week: their steadiness
In spite of strikes and smile other disturbing in?
fluences ls bv many attributed to the buying of
investors, while others, with os much apparent
reason, point to the obvious and constant manipu?
lation of cl it) tios.
The returns of iron furnaces in blast on January
1 need to tie read in the light of the fact that
the Beading strike had not then occurred. "The
Iron Age" makes the decrease in weekly output
from December l to January 1 no less than 7,123
tons, or more than fi per cent, but explains that
1,700 tons of the ri,'crease is apparent rather than

of 4.000 tons weekly In bituminous, 1,281 tons
In anthracite, and 40s tons In charcoal output,

President's meiaage was not exhilarating in its in?

an improvement on Commissioner Carroll, who was
an out-and-out politician and ran his Department..

Bridge President Howell says that when the

The best time to make the change ls now. The

tion, and the Legislature haa no excuae whatever
for delay.
While the organization of trusts seems to be the
prevailing tendency, aa in whiskey, sugar, gas,
warehouse, pa, er, robber, atc., the Mugwump!
ihou-t not miss their opportunity. A Mugwump
trust ls really next in order.
Mayor Chapin, of Bracklyn, bas looked out
carefully for the Interest- of the ? Boes" and of
the " boys." Especially is this the case in his
disposition of the City Work* Department To
put (his in the hands of a lawyer was a gross
impropriety, as should havo been apparent to an
Intellect much less obtuse than Mr. Chapin is
credited with possessing. What la wanted there
ls not a lawyer, but an engineer, and a man
whose first concern would be the publio welfare,
not tho welfare of the members of the Kings
