A aeriw of imerviewi with the Tammara;
Rtatesmen who represent this city in the Leitii
Utare is published this morning, and will cnn
m?u.d attention. With striking unanimity th'
S4Bnat?ra and Assembly men pin their faith t
tha MRnhawan Railway Company, and tug
that it ba alloxved to extend it* present line*
Tba " trna inwardness" of these deliverance
is easily (remprehendod.
No reasonable person familiar with the fact
can deny that the lodging-rooms iu our pol ic
stations are a disgrace to the city. What thei
oondition is on winter nights is described ii
Dr. Bryant's rept>rt. to the Health Hoard yes
terday. He recommends certain measures o
improvement, but qualities what he has to sa;
|tt a doubt as to whether they should be car
?led into effect at ont*, since many lodger
Htwld thereby be turned into the street- Th
true remedy is to abolish the present system
and put in fore? the Municipal l^ging-lloitrw
laxv which is now a dead letter.
The opposition nude by Mr. William Zieg?
ler two years ago to Mayor Chapin'* put'chasc
of the laong Island Water Supply Company is
completely vindicated by the majoiity report
of iho .Supremo Court Commission constitutcrd
under a law pa**ed la?t year. Mt. Chapin. with
tho ljio:;klyn Controller and Auditor, agreed to
pay Si,*.'."),),OOO for the company'*, franchise
and property. The bf lulim names 9S?t,
OOO rs a fair and reasonable price. The thiei
conniiissioncis xx ho sign tho majority report
have done, their work intelligently and thor
onghly, and have lefused to be misled by fan?
tastic spe< illations coiiceiiiinj? the possible
finnie value of tho property in question.
Governor Flower seems to have a pennine in?
terest in tho Stats Falk in tho Adirondacks.
In his BMRRBgd this year he devoted consider?
able space to the subject, and evidently at his
suggestion a bill has been prepared xvhich will
facilitate tho xvork of the Forest Commission?
ers in ai quiring lands for tho Adirondack I'aik.
Tho purpose of this bill will commend it to
liberal-minded citizens, but opposition may be
ex|iected from landholders in tho Adirondack
region. Tho forest preseivo Itara concerns the
entire State, h-.xvever, and the proposed mcas
iiiv deserves impartial cnsideiaiioii.
SAFE the quarantine rill.
Every day increase* the probability that Con
gross xxiii adjoin n t\ it hunt the passago of an.V
quarantine bill worth having. This lamentable
result, beyond all iiucstion deplored by a vast
majority ol the people of eveiy State, without
thought of partisan interests, is directly due to'
the positive instructions forxvarded from Tam?
many tu tho Now-York City Congressmen, re?
quiring them at all hazards to prevent the
passage of any bill curtailing tho powers of
Dr. Jenkins and his quaraiiline establishment.
Tho b'-alih of Ihe Nation, which the ablest of
our epidemiologists liave emphatically declared
in dinger on account of the inefficiency of the
local quarantine, is of no importance to the
Tamniany bosses xxhen the proper caro of it
rediuvs uno iota their opportunity of patronage
and plunder. It is no argument to thom that
the success of the World's Fair depends on
impart iii}' to int'liding visitors from abroad a
thorough confidence in our arrangements fir
their protcclion against disease. Tammany has
had long years of experience in meeting clear
prods and sound doctrines with contemptuous
silence or frivolous excuse. ltd leaders aro no!
inconsistent xxhen they attempt noon the couti
tiy at large impositions xxhich bave done so xvell
at home, but it xviii be shameful if the attempt
succeeds.
As the Senate Quarantine bill reached the
House, xxliile liol abolishing Slate quarantine
authority, it gave to the officers of Hie Naiioiial
Boord of Health the right to a**eit. upon einei
gent occasions, supreme control over incoming
vessels, their crexvs. cargoes and passenger*.
This xvas by no means an ideal scheme. Tam?
many s had purposi-f* were so well represented
in the Senate that to avoid dangerous con?
tentions the advocates of a sufficient National
measure feen cinciliatoiy. Their object was
to leave to Tammany and ll-.e New-Tori*
State government the right ta make as huge
a State establishment as '"icy saw lit io loni"
as it xvas done at nobody's expense but their
oixn. It xx'is boped that arith this they xvntild
be content. Tammany, hoxvever. bas no qual?
ity so marked a< that xxhich forbids it to bo
content with less of anything it wants than
all. When the Tammany bosses sin-render ta
public sentiment, they ate beaien, not moved
by dull amiability. Their attack on the Sen?
ate bill ought to be a lesson to legislatir*. at
Washington xvho have at hca-rt ihe public good
as a prime consideration. In swiflnt-ss, con?
centration and craft it xvas a Tammany master?
piece. It displayed xxith graphic effect tho
fact that the discipline maintained by Mr.
Croker over tho ablest and most, independent
of his Congressmen is a* perfect and as snro
of results as that enforced upon the pettiest
politician that hangs about the City Hall. They
all como in xxhen tho bell rings.
To OOM the bill as finally emasculated by
Tammany will bc to leave Dr. Jenkins as
Irotent foi- mischief as he was last summer. Ho
xviii bo practically beyond tho reach of Fidcral
direction. This is not tho will of the coun?
try. a,nd lhere ought to bo some way. oTen at
so late a day as this, of making Democratic
J Congressmen from the South and West undcr
I stand that they must take orders from their
j e nistituenls and not from tho bosses of Tam
i many Hall. The present situation is precisely
I xx hat Tammany xvishes. Xo legislation at all
is probable and no legislation, from tho bORRBR*
point of vioxv, is just, a shade lieder than the
measure, they remodelled. In eiiher event Dr.
Jenkins is free and untrammelled, but if no
bill passes ho will have less laxv to construe
and moro excuse for spending money. F.very
agency through which public opinion can as?
sert itself should be active and oirntjst in urg?
ing the Senate to stand linn and the House to
accept the original Senate bill. Its assurances
of safety are little enough, and the necessity
of obtaining them is all the more pressing be?
cause of the humiliating position in which tho
whola Nation would be placed by an abject
surrender of Congress to Tammany. That
would be a surrender of the highest public
interests to a demand for plunder. The perils
of/pestilenco in its most dreaded form and of
the ruin of an Kxhibitit n iu which the Nation's
honor and millions of money are invested would
bo actually invoked in order that Tammany
might bo left in undisturbed possession ol the
spoils of the quarantine office.
AMEND THE EIGHTH COMMANDMENT.
Tbe Legislature has intervened in tho Co?
lumbian celebration frauds in brooklyn and
legalized, so far as it was able to do so. thc
conduct of tho indicted officials. It ls novx
confidently asserted that the civil and criminal
proceedings against them will be abandoned
We do not make any predictions, but content
ourselves with advising good citizens in Brook
lyn t> keep a close watch upon the District
Attorney's office during the next sixty days
If the Legislature has passed an enabling act
to invalidate the work of the Grand Jury anc
to reliove indicted officials from criminal prone
oution. there ought to be sufficient civic virtui
in the town to wai rant a public protest again*
a glaring abuse of legislative functions.
The Legislature recently enacted a mea sun
xvhich brought to naught the Grand Jury's in
instigation of tho excise cases in this toxvn
It has noxv gone to the resciio of a large groin
of ind ii ted 4iflieials in Utooklyn. If thesi
precedents au* followed, it xxiii be at liberty t*
paralyze the functions of ('mud Juries in ollie
conni ifs whenever they undertake to expos*
public fraud and official corruption. Cynica
citizens who reflect npon these matters will bi
likely to ask whether a substitute cannot \x
found for all this special legislation. Why doe
not the Legislature pass a general act limit im
the action 4if Grand Juries to ordinary breathe
a i of the Kighth Commandment and exemptini
, - municipal oj*LsJ*s*4? ?hi\flt*,fT lium its opera
lion? That would be a broad method of deal?
ing xvith the matter. If Gratti duties have no
cause for action against municipal dishonest;
tho courts and Di.Miict-Attoincy.s ought to ad?
vise them tn confine their attention to petty
larceny, highxvay robbery and oidinaiy fm ins
of theft and sxvindling. Their time will bc
saved and tho legal pi undine gu-atly facili?
tated.
This may seem, as xve have said, a stiinexxhat
cynical view to take of the action of the Lc'.'i*
lature: but it is. ut ba*r, logical. A burglar
xx ho break* open I safe and is indicted for his
clime is not ie?cucd by tba LegMatuie fi-tun
prosecution. A group of official! uniting in a
deliberate aitempt to swindle the city and coun?
ty tieasuties are favored xvith ipedal legisla?
tion by xxhich tho indictments.a?anist them
are invalidated. This is nut equal and impar?
tial justice. It is disciimination in favor of
politic ians who havo not robbed their neigh?
bors, but the xxhole town. In order to make
this a logical proeBBJ a gene;,il ad is needed.
The L'-gislatme should place it*clf on recoid
by declaring that '" 'lihou shalt not *teal" does
not refer to municipal dishonesty and bleaches
of public trust Then Grand Juries and prose?
cuting authorities will know what to do and
what not to do.
JUSTICE LAMAR'S SUCCESSOR.
The vacancy on tho bench of the Supremo
Court. 04'casjoucd by the death of Justice Lamar
will be lilied either by Pie-idont Mallison be?
fore the cxpiiation of his tenn or by President -
olect Cleveland after his accession to office. If
is unnecessary for anybody ( > assume that in
either case an unlit appointment xxiii be made.
No President of the I'liited states has over set
brought scandal upon our highest court or dis?
graced his own {real office bj his u<o of the
appointing poxver in lilting the Supreme Conn
beiich. Appointments have been severely < t it -
icis'd in some instances, and the motives of
tho President in making them have sometimes
been called ill question ; but the .si'leclinns made
lutve almost invariably turned out lo be xx iso.
American ciiiycns may renee! xvith lioiie*t ami
patriotic pride upon the fact that no judicial
liibunal in tho world sustains a higher char?
acter far ability and integrity than the Supreme
Court of the I'nited State*, and the conntiy
oxpoct.s this high standard lo be maintained.
President Ilarrisi.n's appointments thus fir are
a .sufficient a*suiance on tin* point M far as he
is concerned, and xve have no xxish to assume
that Mr. Cleveland xvould permit itntTsrthy cnn*
sidorafioiis to influence lum in the appointment.
And xx'e are quite willing to leave if, to Presi?

HEW CAS ADI AS TRADE RETURNS.
Another ypar of the so-called National Pol?
icy in Canada has produced results eminly
similar to those that have gcnetal'.y followed
its 0|>erat:oii. The Canadian government-year
ends, as does our oxvn. on .lune .'lo : but while
our at.jvfist.ics are published with gnat prompt?
ness, the returns from Canada are alxxaxs de?
layed. Those for the year lit] have just been
published. They shoxv au aggregate foreign
tiadc of something over 1241,006,000, an in?
crease over last year of 928,066,600. Thc
Conservatives, or Government, party, hail these
ligures with an appearance of sa-isfactioii j but
they overlook the impoilant fact that so long
ago as in 1M74. under ihe operation of a tariff
arrangement xvhich enabled th.-m to deal freely
xxith us. their country enjoyed an aggregate
trado of 9217,666,666, or marly as much as
they had last year. The National Policy has
been in operation for ten years arith a net re?
sult of ini leasing the foreign trado of Canada
about half as much BS it was increased during
the ten years prsceding. The best, that, can
be said for it as a fiscal and industrial scheme
is that it bas not quite ruined the country.
It is a country of such splendid possibilities,
such vast tetonrces and such an energetic and
indiistnoug population that in many respects
tho embarrassments to tiade presented by the
Canadian tariff have been overcome.
It has frequently been said in Tiie Tribivp.
that our present trade relations with Canada
aro as satisfactory fiom our point of vieta as
any could be except those xvhich would result
upon political union. Nd form of ncipivity
has been seriously proposed by any Canadian
party which xvould be likely to lender Canada
more dependent on our markets, both as a
source of supply and as a means of export, than
she i* now-. If the National Policy has in?
jured us at all, it has done so in a degree much
less than that by xvhich it, has injured Great
Britain. Canada's imports from (neat Britain
in 18r*3 were 962,666,666, and from tho
I'nited States *5ti,00O.OO0. In ten years tho
suppUes Um miiOmm. UuUin have decreased to
j value of 941.666.666, while those from
3 I'nited Stales to the value of only $o3,
0,000. So that xvo are not only a larger
tree of supply, but one relatively grater
ui xve xvere ten years ago. On thc other
nd, Canada's exports bave gone to tho
ither country in IlKreasing, and to ns in
leasing, latio. To Great Britain Canada
potted in 1681 merchandise to Hie value of
7.000,000. and to tis to Hie value of -V41.
6,666. La** year ('.leaf Britain*! receipts
acned ne.nly 965,666,666, and oms nearly
16,666.666, Bo thar while tho balance of
ide xx j* in favor of Great liritain ten yeais
o by tho sum of 96.666,660 and in favor
the I'nited Stares by the sum of 916,666,"
16, it is noxv against (.rent Britain by the
m of 923,666,666, ond in favor of us as
rgely as ever. Tiie*e figures aro tn no way
sturbing to ut. They mean that by no trick
tariff! can Canada, escape tho necessity of
irchasing tho principal part of ber supplies
m the I'nited States. They mean that the
rmf to do so after ten years of trial has com
ctol.v failed. And they also mean thar our
riciiltuial schedules, designed to protect the
merican farmer, have had the effect of lend*
g Canadian produce in const anl ly incKRflinf
nudities to London instead of to New-York.
bey vindicate tho xxisdom of American states
en in abrogating tho old reciprocity treaty,
id iu refusing to negotiate a new one unless
companied by a rearnngentenl <?f Canada's
cai policy to make it baimonite with ours.
The American position with regard to Canada
dally, politically and commercially is oect***

It has Ijeen Intimated that Mr. Croker'*, de?
termination not to l>e one of the equestrian RaV
s.-rve,l of all observers on the great festival of
the return to power of Cleveland is due to a
serious injury to his feelings Inflicted bv the
l'resider.t-elect. That is, Mr. Clex-elanl havins
stated that "the next Administration will be a
business men's Administration," or xvords to that
effect, Mr. Croker construes the observation as
antngoni/ini, malieiouslv r-ntaironizin-*, his oxvm
notorious remark RiperilBg business men as not
made of the ritrht stuff for ofliceholders.
l'.uf we prefer to bellex-e that Mr. Croker has de?
cided to absent himself from the parade ior a
raison xvlth which Mr, Cleveland has Beta-ring
and rx quadruped evcrvlhinti to do. Croker is
a bold man, but a conservative one lie may
xvell rca*on, therefore, flat it is the part of
prudence for him not to trust hini.ell UBBRC4M
sa ri l.v on the slippery bael; of un inverlaul horse
Linn* experience in the observation of such thiBgS
must, liave taught him that a statesman RM R horse
la a political parade occupies a place of ure.xt
insecurity. In ease a Bag \vhi"h Croker was lid

the more he lia* thought about his engagement

it l.ns oct tuned to ^lr. Croker that he xvould let
