There ran bc no doubt as to the position of
the Republicans of Maryland. Thc resolutions
adopted by thc SUto League at Baltimore
yesterday arc uncompromisingly in fiivor of
prottN/tiun and (*YOl lar^'e reductions in tho
internal icvenuo taxt'-. This expression doubt
1. ? '?mbodii-s th* general RepubJitan sentiment
of the .State. There is one point in ihv reso?
lutions that is worth heeding wherever regis?
tration i** I D_-_aa-__7 condition of voting. It
is that fatal effoiu should bc made to ge-t
every Republic ai. voter on Um ngfotntion rolls.
This is a duty no less pi-essing than that of
voting, lt should be neglected or forgotten
by no ono.
It WW to bc expected that "Fatty" Walsh
would regard himself as a martyr and that some
of his bira*-- would take the 6ame view. Hut
sufficient credit has not been given to tho ex
Warden for magnanimity. Ho says that tho
motive prompting hia resignation was "to gave
the Commissioners from being everlastingly
annoyed by the attack* made on" him. This
proves that " Fatty" is truly good. We regret
to se* that Mr. K. Kllery Andcrs-on still defenda
Walsh and maintains that ho made a good
Warden. Ile M**_ that because " Fatty" was a
gambler seven or eight years ago it doesn't
follow that ho was unlit to be put iu thai ge of
tho City Prison. We admit that a gambler
may reform, but before he is ushered into a
chkt "wat ix? the synagogue*- it is customary to
insist that he bring forth fruits meet for re?
pentance. "Fatty's" crop of such fruits, is so
meagre as to be invisible.
The Wattenberg incident is apparently a
tttag of thc patti The latest reports (which
*** it. to 1*0 semi-official) m.______ there is DO
likelihood of a Knew.il "f the lc liol hal *f
Prince] Alexander and PrinOCM V-OtO.it. at. 1
consequently tho dreadful (hiagl that were
g ling to follow in Bulgaria and elsewhere Sit
all ''off." It is a pity that- iht |0T_ adair of i
gallant Prince and a channing Pi ince** should
Uneaten such calamities and come to such an
untimely end; but that is one of thc pcnalti'-t
that Hoyalty has to pay as thc price of its con?
tinuance. According to the talk in "tho
highes. circle" in Berlin, Bismarck did really
thieaten to resign, but the Fmperor did not for j
a moment think of accepting his resignation, i
Consequently the reports that overtures had
been mad? to Prince von Hohenlohe and Count
Ilatzfeldt in regard to the Chancellorship must
be set down as idle rumor.
Mr. Phelps, who has come over from London
to enjoy a brief vacation that ho has fairly
earned, talks interestingly on a variety of
topics in the interviews with him reported in j
another column. Ile puts at rest the gossip
about the possibility that he may be the euc- |
cessor of Chief Justice Waite by saying that he I
does not expect that his name will be mentioned j
In conn-ection with th? appointment. IIo |
naturally approves the Fisheries Treaty, and
he hopes that both it and the Extradition
Treaty will be ratified. On the question of
Home Rule in Ireland ho is non-committal. It
is gratifying to note that our Minister has not
become so much of an Englishman by his resi?
dence abroad M not to be able to resent Mr.
Arnold's strictures on things American. IIo
pronounces Mr. Arnold's statements unfair and
unjust*
MR. LOWELVS L MENTATIONS,
Mr. Lowell's address at Steinway Hall last
evening was in a plaintive minor kev. lie had
been asked to sound the cymbals in honor of the
Independent in polities, and was expected to
make a joyful noise; but he wtt altogflther I
doleful and disappointed the young enthusiasts
in his audienc''. lt WSS an essay on the deca?
dence of American public life, with casual icf
eiencea in a chilling tone to the duties and re?
sponsibilities of tlioso who oonside. _h-_n_o__y*ai
superior to "tho ruck of politicians and party
men." IIo confessed his want of faith in the
political progress of the United States under
republican institutions and a democratic form
of government. Thc country, in his judgment.
has lost the power to produce statesmen; thc
tricks of management arc superseding thc sci?
ence of government; matters have grown stead?
ily worse for the last twenty years; and Hm
only hope of political regeneration lies in tho
efforts of men dissociated from the interests of
party. This was the burden of bis sorrowing
discourse. It was not a tribute to Mugwump
pride and prescience, but a jeremiad on a gen?
eration of small politicians and party bosses
and hacks.
Since Mr. Lowell takes so discouraging a
view of American politics and finds 60 many
signs of retrogression since Mr. Lincoln's death,
it may bo well to remind him that twenty years
ago the conditions of public life were incom- :
j,-i ably worse than they are now. In 1808 i
there was a Ugh tide ol' coiiiiplioii. There
were Credit Mobilicr scandals and Back-Pay !
jobs in Congress; there were monstrous election
frauds in this State; and in tho metropolis it?
self Tweed and his confederates reigned su?
preme. There is cot a State in the Union in
which polities arc not on a higher plane now
than they were then. Elections to the United
States Senate were marketable then, but they
are not to-day. Public men are moro honest
now than they were twenty years ago; monoy
is not Med in elections as it was then; political
bosses and wire-pullers are far less powerful ami
moro scrupulous: and party management is
under more direct control of the forces of pub
lie opinion. Mr. Lowell's assumption that the
English rotten borough system has been gener?
ally introduced in America and that brit.erv and
corruption are rampant ereiywheat is as wild a
fiction as one of Ophelia's disordered dreams.
Politic-- bare become cleaner and more reputa?
ble in twenty vi ats.
Kqually open to criticism is Mr. Lowell's as?
sn; inn that both parties have been t'niity in
evading as successfully as they can the living
questions of the day, and consequently that
there is no choice between them, and thought?
ful men inspired with a moral purpose mu-t
maintain toward them a policy of armed i ? i
trality. Tho party with whose commission
Mr. Lowell has l>een armed abroad under two
Administrations has not shirked the responsi?
bilities of ita high calling. It. adheres with
equal courage and intelligence to the wise pol?
icy of protection first proclaimed by Hamilton,
greatest of American financiers, lt atanda in
every State in tho Union for practical temper?
ance legislation by which the drink evil?tho
chief blight on the fortunes of the country
may be brought under control. It introduced
tho first practical measure of Civil Service re?
form, which the Administration of Mr. Lowell's
typical American, President Cleveland, has re?
duced to a system of canting hypocrisy and
broken pledges. Every one of the living ques?
tions of the time that paity faces and does not
evade; and Mr. Lowell never loses an oppor?
tunity of sneering at it as unworthy of confi?
dence. The party that evades its responsibili?
ties in all those living questions?the tariff,
temperance and Civil Service reform?is th" * at
for which Mr. Lowell and his fellow Independ?
ents have a sneaking and servile fondness, with
all their high talk and independence and moral
purpose in politics,
THE DEMOCRATS AM) BALLOT REFORM.
One of the most important and, at thc samo
time, one of the most discouraging manift sta?
tionl of patty spirit lately made ut Albany, aai
? ho opposition of the Democrats of the A
hiv to the p.allot Reform bill. A motion t?. ad?
vance the bill WM eiq.used by all but live of the
Democrats, under the leadership of Mr. Shee?
han, and so failed to secure the necessary rotes.
This was an unexpected development, Hith
eito lhere has bi en no _uggect_on that the Dem
mia's were likely to oppose tiiis mea>ure. |,
was the outgrowth of an agitation agaim
il ol MeeasmenU and the bribery involved
in hiring political wink* is to distribute the bal'
h ta ? n deletion day. These evil** tffected both
parties alike, ami were franki.- aoknowledged
l.y the intelligent men of both parti, s. Tho
piopo.scd law would relieve both parties of a
heavy burdon ol expense, prop ily belonging
to the State. The bill was carefully fi
out of half a dozen offered, and a Democratic
member, who was thc author of one of them,
joined with the others who had presented bill.*
in urging all members to vote for the porfected
measure. Tho only sim in framing this was to
secure a practical bill. There was no possi?
bility of politiial advantage in it for either
party, and in order to remove all grounds for
distrust and to allow the public to become
thoroughly informed regaiding the new system
of voting, it was expressly provided that tho
law should not affect the Presidential election,
leaving a year and a half for preparation.
Nevertheless Mr. Sheehan was able t.> carry
ali but fire of hia party with him against tho
bill. It is intimated that this action was in?
spired hg Go. waoi Hill. If this is so, thoGov
-iiioi baa added another to tho many mwoM
why he is regarded .rith aversioa, not to say
contempt, bj ? largo portion of th*' oommnnity.
i d .hiv quettion touching the purification of
politics, th*- diminution of fcattavagaaee and
corruption in official method*, br the elevation
of the moral tone of the < onuuunity as promised
by i a ricter ti gulation of the liquor traffic, it is
alwayi safe to look for Governor Hill OB the
sn!" of the loweri order of < cpi sst any, ot where
no eonrideiationj of axpediea-y caa be din ev
ered, he seem* to range himself instinctively
With the baiet and more coi nipt elements of so?
ciety. There la no conceivable nason w__y any
political patty should oppose the Ballot Reform
lill in its present shape, except from a belief
that it will make bribery and cheating in elec?
tions moro difficult. If the Democratic party
of this .'??tate is willing to go before thc peoplo
on this platform, the Republican party will
hardly refuse the challenge. It would hardly
be a new attitude for the Democratic party,
which has uniformly fought all measures for
the protection of tho ballot, all registration laws
and the like, and which furnishes thc large ma?
jority of ballot-box stuffei- and repeaters.
This ought not to be a party question, but if
thc Democrats make it so by voting (solidly
against it, the Republicans are likely to accept
the issue, and support the bill. The Republi?
can party has always done its utmost to keep
the ballot ancrvd. lt certainly will not be de?
terred by Democratic opposition from going on
with the work.
THE OUTLOOK AT ffASHlSGTOy.
It is stated upon apparently good authority
tbat the latest change in the sugar clause of the
Mills Tariff bill was the result of a double bar
pun. The Democratic memben from Louisi?
ana, it is positively ?finned, have promised to
veto for the bill with thc changes made by the
majority at the last moment. At the same time,
prominent Democratic authority from Louisiana
mule that thc chang.- wm al.-o contrived for
the purpose of rendering the bill aatiafactory to
tbe Sugar Trust, which embraces some influen?
tial Denn** nils who are now expected to sup?
port the measure with great seal. Men who
should be perfectly competent to judge ailinn
that the (rust would have ? mow complete
monopoly under th*' pending tariff bill, if it
ihould paas, than it has now, aad with the dil?
lies reduced would at ihe same time lind it easier
to defeat change! in the BUgar doti**, hereafter.
If theee thinga are true. Mr. Mills or Mr. Booti
has done some Miiart bargaining, to capture the
Louisiana delegation and tho Sugar Trust by
One and tlie same change.
Another iiem of information is worth consid?
ering. The statement is mada*, on authority
g'-nerally entitled to confidence, that the Ohio
Democratio members have agreed to vote for tho
consideration of the bill, on condition that a
separate vote shall be allowed in tbe House on
thc wool duties, and havo ulso agreed to abide
by thc result of that vote, and to support the
bill with or without th** free wool clause, as the
House may decide. Tlie men who want to run
for Congress in the Ohio districts now repre?
sented by Democrats,may well hojio that this
account is correct. The Democratio members
(rom that State will dig their own political
graves if they consent to any such arrangement,
but perhaps they are inured that the President
will lake '/ od i ire of I hem.
'ih. ie .-.'..;. j... nt.s, with many athen of simi?
lar tenor, show what the industries of the coun?
try have to fear. There would bc no danger in
an open and straight vote, without bribery or
coercion. If Democratic members could bc ex- I
peted to represent thi ir constituents, there ;
would be no danger. Hut nobody indulges any
such expectation. The belief || that Presiden- i
tia! favor and throats will do much; that bar?
gaining with those who control the River and
Hail.ur and the Public Building! bills will do
much; that the caucua will be employed to co
oreo a_s many Bl possible, and su it ll expected ,
thal neatiy every Democratio vote can in one I
way or another bo secured. Hut the unsur- t
I 1 incapacity of the majority in this House
has not yet been fully displayed, and when ll
comes to be tested in a dose fight, no one can
tell h'.w many Democratic schemes may then
get uni xpectedJy deft ai* d.
Republican memben should be. in every way
prepared to resist this measure to the utmost: in
debate as long as debate i- possible; by trying
earnestly to amend the mischief out of it. as
long as that can be done; and then by their
votes and thc beal pt asible use of their parlia?
mentary opportunities, busim ss arrangements
for the future, pain and all sorts of engage?
ments, sh..ubi be manged with care so that the
entire Republican force can be brought to bear
without fail when it is needed. The Adminis?
tration and its friends have spent more than a
week of precious time in preventing the passage
of a measure which had only a passionate, big?
oted and malignant sectionalism against it.
ltoforo the session is over, they may regret that
they began the fight in that way.
TUE LOUISIANA ' AMPAIBE.
A political contest of much interest culmi?
nates next Tuesday, when Louisiana elects State
officers to servo for four years, and a Legis?
lature which will choose successors to both of
ihe present United States .Senators from the
Pelican State.
(Jovernor McKnery has guaranteed this year
what Southern Republicans have long clamored
for in vain: a free ballot and a fair count.
Whether he WU inspired thereto by lofty and
[ disinterested patriotism, tardy remorse for his
l share in past violations of the suffrage laws, or
di*appointment ov*'r failing to secure a reuom
' inalion, matters little. The Republicans, con
| liding in his bdnOSty, have wo*ked during tho
last ten weeks with unusual hope and enthusi
i asm. Ex-Governor Henry C. Waimoth, who
I beads their ticket, has taken th** held in per
*'.n. His rb.-?? relations, a- ? proprietor, with
the chu f Industry of Louisiana, sugar planting,
?ince his retirement from offi* iai life, have
blunted, if they have not nullified, the old
Bourbon prejudice against "carpet-baggenP|
sad iii** mass meetings which be has recently
addressed have been larg ly attended by white
citizens as well as colored bm nu
Ex-Governor Francis T. Nicholls, who de?
feated M. I.ii ty in the nominating convention,
h'- Ins rival's outws partic
. alarly favored * -' af the party moa.
I,hy with til*' National Admin?
istration, Among his most ardent wpporten
i- I ollector Jonas, of th*- \.Yw-<.)r!e..ris Custom
Hons*', who has taken the stump for him; and
other Federal officials have .hared actively la
campaign work. Bennion Gibton and Eustia
have both bow* hon,** to address public meet
1: ;s; and the party press has labored with a
fervor to which evident anxiety gives addition?
al intensity.
The municipal contest in New-Orleans,
though not clearly related to the Suite cam?
paign, may havo some bearing upon it after
all. The Young Democracy 0f the Crescent
City has named a local ticket in opposition to
that of the, party bosses; and the Republicans
have seen fit, not only to put up no candidates
of their own, but to indorse that of the bolters
?'The Times-Democrat" thinks this split in the
Democratic |i.irty, by bringing out _ larger
rote than QgQg] jn New < iii, wm I, may help
Ni'.i'.IIm. Otk.* authorities fear that a differ?
ent result may ensue. .Somewhat nervously,
" The Picayune" remarks that Nicholls needs to
leave the Crescent City with 10.000 B-BJOftt. rn
order to carry the State; while "The shreve?
port Democrat" mtidpatei "an obi-fashioned
Rrpublkaa majority ia Southern Louisiana
which will etoo* Wami'.th. unless the lull l>"in
ociutic strength is exerted in the Northern par
ishes." In a few ii utside of Now
(Uh ans, the Republicans ha'.** adopted the
plan of naming no local candidate, which may
poosibly help the State ticket It is thought
not unlikely that Warmoth may run ahead of
his Moimi a few- thoasand rotes 'ii which ease
it would bo possible for him to be elected, even
if tho other Republican candidates aro not.
Senators Sweet, Russell and Coggeshall must
make up their minds between now und Monday
night whether they will proclaim themselves a.
wcarlng thc collar of the aaloon or not. Senator
Sweet, in particular, should cv rudder this question
-seriously. We ar* informed, on excellent au?
thority, that the public opinion of his district is
warmly in favor of the bill, snd that he has re?
ceived numerous appeals by mail and wire to vote
for it, without, apparent y, affecting his conviction
thnt his private interests require him to work
sgainst it. It is a noticeable fact that the pro?
portion of Republican Senators against tho bill is
larger than that of Assemblymen. Is this becaus.
the Senstors do not come up for re-election this
year, and they fancy that by another year lt will
all have " blown over" ? This ls a pleasing de?
lusion which may as well bo abandoned at once.
I mr. Ti-iBt'.NK, as the Ik-publicans of New-York
know, is not " a newspaper boss." It makes no
attempt to dictate nominations, but confines itself
to the legitimate functions of u great newspaper,
supporting the principles of a gnat party. But
lt will be within the line of these functions to
soe that no Senator or Assemblyman who votes
against tbe High License bill shall be renominut'd.
