PUBLIC DEFENDERS.
Senator < lindy luis in trod mod in the Lefia
lature nt Albany a bill to create the ofBce of
Public Difendi-r. provide for his election and
fix big ennipi-tiKiition in the several rounties of
the State. The text of this measure has been
submitted to The TrIbtUM with the request
that we plve lt our npproT.il and support. AVe
rannot. however, comply with this request. On
Hie contrary, wc feel constrained to advise
acainst its passage; for on examination it ap
pcar,? to be a bill which will serve no useful
public pcupoae and will work against the best
interests of the State.
li is prujioseil to create sixty new officers to
be elected next November for terms of three
yearn. Those sixty Public Defenders are to re?
ceive salaries undoubtedly fat ones fixed by
the several Hoards of Supervisors, are to have
?- many assistants and clerks as the Super
\ "-ins grill permit, are to have offices furnished
to timi), ami are to establish public machines
of afKiut the same magnitude as the District
Attorney s offices, only with a reverse action.
The effect of this would bi to multiply enor?
mously thc number of offices In the State, and
mid greatly to the public expenditures to oe
? oinplish no work which is not now done as
well at almost no expense to the taxpayer.
When an accused person lias no counsel now
the Court assigns, g member of the Har to de
fi-ml him. and. except In rare cases, the county
doge not pay him anything. The lawyer looks
gjpggj this work as one of the duties properly
devolving upou him as an officer of thc court.
Ile fins compensating privileges which snake
it only just that he should render such service.
Moreover, the young lawyer get* training from
such cases, and is generally glad To undertake
them for the sake of experience and to defend
ilicui With /eal In hopes of making a reputa?
tion. Ii would lie a waste of money to compel
The taxpayers lo pay a great corps of public
otfiicrs to do what is now done for nothing.
Moreover, lt would deprive the young criminal
laa-yer of Hie chance To Take the first steps in
his profession. Nor is there any reason to sup?
pose Mint the salaried staff of a public office
aould l?e more diligent in looking after the in
Ti-n-MB of thc p<M?r wretches who reciive coun-,
sel services as a public charity, than would the
Individual lawyer lo whom such work would
not be mere official routine.
An establishment for the defence of ,-riuie.
besides multiplying offices extravagantly, would.
If it were at all efficient, increase the difficul?
ties of enforcing the law. And certainly it
mouM bc a ridiculous thing for the State to
prosecute with one hand and defend with the
cher the violation of its own statute* The
w bole scheme smacks of a comic revival of the
'Devil's Advocate" With the present safe?
guards Thrown about person* | rc thud of crime

THE AST1 PLATT 8BSTIMEST.
Tn a communication whick appears elsewhere
In rills paper, touching the election ul' Mr. Ptatt
as 1'uited States Senator, tin- writer. Mr. John
e. Whiteford. gives expression no doubt to the
sentiments on that subject of many Tribune
readers. And. although his opposition to Mr.
l'lutt is somewhat strongly slated, it is liv no
means pertala that a majority nf tiie Republican
voters of the State would not. If the question
were brought to the test of an actual vote, anice
willi him in the main in his characterisation of
tiie action of tiie legislature. Pot*, great as is
Mr. Plait's apparent popularity with the active
Kepublican politicians who hold the ofltces .uni
control the movements of the party machine, 00
one who is at all conversant witli public opinion
as represented by tlie mass of voters has any
doubt that in a poll of the Republican party the
number of hil opponent! would be found to be
largely in excess of his supporters. Indeed, very
few even of his most devi.ted followers would
ever dream of suggesting to him that he should
venture a test of his popularity by offering him?
self for an elective ofttce to the popular suf?
frages. His disinclination to such a test in tiie
last State election, when his nomination for Gov?
ernor was at least Within tho range of possibili?
ties, under conditions phenomenally favorable
for the success of any Kepublican candidate,
may be taken ns a somewhat significant, ns well
ns candid, disclosure of his own views on that
subject
dur correspondent mildly criticises the atti?
tude of The TTibune toward Mr. Platt as lack?
ing in earnestness. Mild as lt is?and express?
ing, perhaps, the views of other Tribune read?
ers. nnti-Platt men, whose hostility to that
gentleman is permitted to outweigh broader con?
siderations of the whole political situation it
ls undeserved. 'Ihe time to oppose Mr. Plat t's
ambition for the Senatorsliip. or the ambition
of his friends to elevate him to that position
whichever lt was was before the election of
members of the Iveglslatnre. The place was in
the primaries where these members were chosen.
It is all very well to SSS now that it ought to
have been done then and there. The answer to
that is that Mr. Plan's followers were too
shrewd to permit the issue to be raised. Any
attempt on the part of hil opponents to intrude
lt Into a canvass Involving questions of mo?
mentous consequence to the business interests
of the whole country would have been immedi
ately drowned In the demand for harmony and
an outcry against factional disturbance. Tito
Tribune was not unaware of the probability
that Mr. Plait's devoted followers would take
advantage of the situation to perfect arrange?
ments for gratifying his ambition. And it was
not without careful consideration and due de?
liberation that it reached the conclusion that it
was better, upon the whole, to take the chances
of Mr. Platt'B election to the Senate than to put
at risk the success of the Presidential ticker.
It may be said. In answer, that there was never
any doubt about the electoral vote of this State,
ns shown by the returns. True, but tbe effect
of factional divisions in .New Voil, upon doubtful
States, whore the margin of Republican majority
was small, could not lie calculated, and might
lia ve been disastrous.
Tho election past, tho business was prac?
tically settled. Mr. Plat ts followers had the
game in their own hands. And it must be
said that they have played it with uncom?
mon secret!veness and shrewdness. Within
twenty-four hours after the jxillticnl complexion
of tho Assembly was known it was as certain
as it is now that Mr. Platt could have the Sen?
atorsliip for the asking. Indeed, it was so well
fixed that ho did not have even to ask for lt. lt
fell lo him. The situation was as clear as tho
sun at noonday without a cloud on the horizon.
That a majority of the party wai strenuously
opposed to his election is undoubtedly true, but
the majority was unorganized, formless. Incho?
ate, and the candidacy of Mr. Ghosts, creditable
as lt was to the pure motives and high purpose!
of those who brought it about, was foreseen from
the beginning to have only tiie weight of .1 pro?
test. In these circumstances The Tribune, after
restating, ns was perhaps unnecessary, its own
unchanged and unchanging attitude toward Mr.
Platt and his following, their methods, prac?
tices and policies, prepared to accept tbs inevi?
table, if not cheerfully, with becoming resigna?
tion, lt did not practise upon the credulity
of its readers liv holding out false hopes, nor
did it weary them with constant repetition of
arguments against Mr. Platt with which every?
body was familiar. When ho was nominated,
instead of dwelling upon the possibility or even
probability of his disgracing the State, it took
occasion to point out how he might redeem his
reputation and make himself, if not a great
statesman, at least a useful public servant. Ami
in rho event of his doing so. it promised him its
steadfast friendship. As why should it notl
In its code of ethics there ls no unpardonable
political sin that cannot be repented of, no past
tlmt cannot be retrieved and lived down.
TBADR COMBINATIONS ASD DVTIB8.
There ls one phrase of very common use. In
comments on tho work of the Ways and Means
Committee In framing a new tariff, which ll
not often used with S definite idna of its mean?
ing. Men say that duties should be so adjusted
as not to promote or defend monopolies, and
the purpose commands respect. Kilt it is fre?
quently an open question whether a monop?
oly ls or can lu- assisted or strengthened by any
duty whatever. The organization most fre?
quently mentioned as having complete control
of the oil market certainly did not acquire nor
does it retain such control in any measure be?
cause of a duty on oil. crude or relined. Its
command of sources of production, of means of
transmutation and of processes for refining
would be equally effertive, lt is probable, If
there WCTS HO duty affecting the business lu
any way. In some other instances lt is possible
that duties have some influence, although even
for the most skilled experts it ii extremely dif?
ficult to be quite certain that the Influence is of
appreciable Importance.
With respect to certain other snides, tho
question may with reason be asked whether a
strongly protective duty on foreign products
may not tend more effectively lhan other in?
fluence to break up domestic combinations, ThJl
appears paradoxical to some who have u .t
closely followed Industrial development*. I*he
rupture of several important combination* In
the iron and steel industry, since the late elec?
tion] gave lasmrsnce thai mote effect ire duties
were to be imposed, was In no means thc iir?t
illustration of the kind. Whenever lhere ls soi
enough business in ihe country to keep an the
works fairly employed, there i< stronger tempts

already Inadequate. The concerni which are
not managed with any sense whatever are
likely to go down before long, no mailer what
the exterior conditions may he.
But when then comes prospect of a general
revival of business, so that marly or quite the
full capacity of works In a particular depart- |
Ulellt is likely IO l>e employed, theil at Once the j

lt is by no means inti lided to imply tint
duties restricting foreign competition have at
nil times an immediate influence to break up
combinations of home manufacturers. Kui in
tho long run such duties do stimulate domestic
competition, induce additional concerns to put
enterprise and capital into any branch in which
prices appear to be unnaturally high, and there?
fore tend with groat force to bring about such
conditions that monopolies and injurious com?

8BS8B IB DE LAW A HE.
Down In Delaware they have hit tlc nail on
the hoad. That State has unenviable notoriety
as a land where bribery flourishes and roten
are purchased like sheep. Tte Constitutions!
Convention now in session had before it tte
oilier day a proposition to punish liribe takers
by tine and Imprisonment and to try thom be
! fore a board of Judges instead of submitting
j their enses to juries. This, of course, was de
i OOO need hs "monstrous." but by a vote of 1!' to
I 5 it was carried, and an article denying tte
right of a witness to refuse io give testimony
I on tte ground that ho might 1m? incriminated
j for a similar olfonce was also carried.
This denial of trial by jury is a radical step,
but it marks a distinct understanding of tte
conditions which have made political corrup?
tion so prevalent, and in Delaware have given
a standing invitation for tho wealthy adven?
turer to buy the State. The real ren*on that
vote buying and every other form of dishonest
politics flourishes ls that the people are willing
they should flourish. No caucus would be
packed and no ballot-box stuffed and no bribe
giver sent to the Legislature if the voters in
tho precincts whore these practices aro per?
fectly well known renlly eared to stop them.
On the contrary, they find it inconvenient to
oppose the bribe-giver because he cnn get bills
passed to their liking, and they cannot be in?
duced to convict a bribe-taker because too often
they have engaged in tte same occupation. At
least that is thc experience in Delaware
Voters would not repudiate corruption and
juries would not convict coiTUptlonlStS. There
they have the coinage to face the situation
squarely. They do not make any question of
saying in their convention Hint the electorate
is almost hopelessly corrupt and that the only
way to preserve the State is to save the voters
from themselves long enough to permit them
to outgrow their bad habits. It is hoped that
severe penalties, enforced by judges and not
left to jurors, will revive the latent honesty and
manhood of the Delaware citizenship.
It is a sad stale of affairs, but there is hope
for a community which, instead of Indulging in
humbug, gets right at tbe point of its troubles.
It is not flattering to a people devoted to tnii
\ei-sal suffrage to be told that their politics aro
corrupt because the Individual citizens encour?
age corruption. Kut that siatoment exactly
lits the situation in other Stales than Dela?
ware. We Indulge in a great deni of pious non?
sense about our wicked politicians who give us
bad laws. It is the handful of voters in each
community, with Ihe power to control its vote
in every case if they will. who. year after year,
permit the wicked politician to reign, because
they fear to prosecute crimes committed for
him and want his favor for their personal
schemes. It is they who invite bad govern?
ment, Just as it ia tho purchasable voters of
Delaware who invite the purchaser.
MOSEY ASD BUBISE88.
Nearly eighteen y -nra ago there hegnn an
Increase of T'"> per cent In the volume of busi?
ness within three years. Hut then was shown
for months th- same Impatient humor which
prompts children to pull up their plants every
day to se.- if the root! have sprouted yet, and
which. In tlcse dayl, prompt! disci niented nvn

"The Financial Chronicle" began its leading
editorial Mar.li s, 1870, as follows:
We have now entered upon our third month
sine- the resumption of specie payments
"Where is the prosperity The Chronicle' prom
Ised with that event?" ls the question fre?
quently coming up t.. us fi,.rn certain points of
th- Interior. "Wheal is no higher, tobacco is
"no higher. Cotton is no higher. There is no
"money in any Af th" earth's products. Where
"ls your promised prosperity?"
That Journal then went on to answer such
questions, even as men have been answering
similar Inquiries of lat.-;
Hut not In a day or in a month or In many
months is all this t. reallied, . . The
assumption that there is no improvement yet
observable is unquestionably Incorrect, Ever
sin..- resumption v.a-- assured there lias been
progress. . . Beyond a doubt, g.-neral i.usi
nesa is decidedly Improving, enterprise is re*
viving. and the outlook is. as every on.- ,i i
mlts, hy far more favorable than a year ago.
in fact, to us .him now there seems to bs
grester probability of a too rapid and specu?
lative development than of its being to., slow.
The results went far to Justify this suggestion.
Tte- average of railway s;-., ks ros- from $33 per

1879, and to $0213 in DM. Investment stocks
rose 42 par cent in three years, manufacturing
stocks lo per cent and hank stocks 20 per cent.
Y.t long after specie resumption had been ac.
compllshed, When months had --lapsed after Hs
sue. .-ss was demonstrated, there were h.-ar.l
complaints because the fun measure or pros?
perity had not v.-t 1.p reached. By the month
of May the lacrosse in volume of business com
pai.fi with the previous year had become 40.6
p.-r cut. and lbs earning- ..f railroads had be?
gun that expansion from 1400,000,000 In 1878 to
1735,000,000 in 1881, which brought for s.. many
handsome dividends instead of banhruptcy!

There was nol room for 'Looming" N heal last
Break, and the actual chance was another de

i.ver half a cent The fact upon which people
have reason tc fix attention in these .lavs is

that an advance in Its price can hardly bc ex?

is Hallie to Increase as the season advances
In January thus far receipts ><t wheal al the
chief Western marketa have been only 4,510,710

January I In excess of last year's receipts, but
283,300 less than In the same weeks of 1803
from the pi latest crop on record ny Feb?
ruary 1 thc receipts will probably have fallen
a full million bales below those of 1806. A
similar shrinkage of receipts to that of January
thus far would cut down the aggregate for this
crop vear to aliniu 8,230,000 bales; l>ut whether
such decrease will continue lg the vexed ques?
tion, and meanwhile the unprecedented ac
cumulatlon of poods, which causes so much
trouble In the market for print cloths, does not
give promise that future consumption of cotton
will he very large. Material reductions were
made last week In some Important branches of |
bleached goods, and the tendency now appears
to be toward reorganization of prices, that
goods and the material may run more In har?
mony.
The purehaaea of wool at Boston alone last
week were reported as ll.STiU.OOO pounds, but
were mainly in advance of consuming needa or
orders fur goods and to anticipate future
duties. Western holders are growing stiffer,
and without improvement In the demand for
goods these also remain steady In price. The
shoe manufacture, on the other hand, has
yielded a little on some qualities, although no
change appears In prices of leather. The ln
creaaed production of pig-iron seems to outrun
fur the moment the demand for finished prod?
ucts, so that Bessemer pig ls a shade lower at
Pittsburg, although In structural and bridge
work and In plates there ls reported somewhat
more business. The competition of new con?
cerns has again slightly depressed prices of
wire and cut nails. Considering that the out?
put of pig has Increased ."VI per cent and of
coke Kill per cent since October 1. lt ls not
st.ange that prices are glow to advance.
The money markets are favorable to develop?
ment of business and Industries, as there ls more
ready sale for commercial paper, without much
advance In rates. One loan of Sl.fMHI.tHHt was
made by a trust company to the Illinois Steel
Company, while some other manufacturing
loans hy foreign ban ki rs In October and Novem?
ber have been pal 1 off. Foreign exchange tunis
weaker, and the holding back of long bills ls not
at present encouraged by lower London arid
Herman rates of interest. The course of foreign
trade does not seem to promise speedy liquida?
tion of the account by merchandise balances.
The Imports in three weckg of January at New
Torfe have b.-en about ll per cent smaller than
last year, with exports about $1,000,000. or J per
cent, larger, and the exports of cotton in January
have exceeded last year's by 170,000 bales, or
nearly 43 p--r cent. While the figures indicate
no such extraordinary excess of exports as was
Been in December, the balance In favor of the
country on merchandise nccount will evidently
be quite large for this month, probably not far
frmn |2T>,000,000.
"B ib" Taylor, Just Inaugurated as Governor

We are pleased tosee that Mayor Strong fapors
the plan for extending Riverside Drive north?
ward to connect with the Boulevard Lafayette,
which has Its beginning ar Ope-hundred-and

can be done without incurring the large expense
that would lie necessary If the suggestion of a
boulevard aluna* the river to thc upper limits of
the city were carried out. The Mayor dong not
commit himself unreservedly to the larger
project, but approves the proponed viaduct across ;
