THE DAILY NEWS. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1882.

When they do have a railroad accident in the old world it is worse than a battle. Where oar roads slay their tens those slay their hundreds. It looks as if the Star Route connsl attempted sharp practice yesterday and that the coart headed it ofi at any cost. Fine for eontempt or something of that sort might be wholesome.

After three months the iron and steel workers resolved to continue their strike. That they may he ultimately successful is to be hoped; that they will be is very doubtful. Meantime they might ask themselves how much “protection’' they are getting ont of the 130 per cent, duty on steel rails and other duties on everything that enters into their manufacture.

A blistering comment upon “license and regulation” for saloons, which is their plea as against prohibition, is that Mount Vernon mob which puts the town in a state of seige and commits arson, with the officer of the law tor victim, because that officer pro. posed to enforce the law closing saloons at 11 o’clock at night and on Sunday. “Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.” There is a significant halt in BritUh Egyptian operations. Contrary to expectations, the indications do not appear that it is to be a mere snmmer outing or holiday parade. Arab! has shown unexpected force and determination, and it is possible De Lesseps told the truth when he said this was a national movement, or one, at lenst, which enlisted popular support, and may prove a very serious matter to conclude. It must bs remembered, however, that ths dispatches are of very little use as a guide. The most that can be known is from all facts that appear, and these are that, to date, Arab! is holding his own, and ihat Wolesley, for some oanse, is stationary, while aditional troops and monitions of war an making ready for him, A clerk in one of the treasury bureaus recently resigned his position, to aid the republican oongreaaloual committee in collecting its 2 per oent. assessments. He applied to Secretary Folger for permission to canvass the department, bnt was informed the seen, tarydid not sanction such proceedings. He Bade a similar application to a chief of a divisioa of the treasury, and was again refased the deahred permission. He then went through the building on his mission “on his own hook,” and there was none to molest or make him afraid. Indeed how ooaid there be when such assessments were not to be objected to “in an official

quarter?”,This blackmailer it mast be added receives a | per cent on all his extortions. If this doesn’t match the Turk in his tax-farming at every point, wherein dots it fail? It is a blistering disgrace. The editors of the party organs of Richmond, Virginia, have been arrested for arranging n duel provoked by personalties sad recriminations. The editor of the Whig, Mr. W. C. Elam, may not be old enoogh to remember the result of a duel between bis most distinguished predecessor and the editor ef the democratic organ of that day, or he might apprehend that a bloody collision boded him no good. It ia forty years sgo, now, and John Hampden Pleasants is remembered only by greyheaded politicians who have passed the scriptural limit of life, or by boys who read with horror the story of the dnel and the advance of the combatants towards each other firing, till the brilliant aid popular Pleasants fell mortally wonnded. It was a Decatur and Barron duel over egain in its parties and its results. The ralnable man, the admired and honored man, fell, and the indifferent antagonist, for whon nobody felt any strong admiration or strong regard, survived. Thomas F. Ritchie, one of the sons of the noted old democratic editor, Thomas Ritchie, long editor of the national party organ, succeeding Francis P. B.'air, was the murderer of Pleasants. The Whig Review of nearly forty years ago, published an elaborate sketch of the life and criticism of the writings of Pleasants, with a steel portrait—it was before the days of photography—and made it evident that he was regarded as the most promising whig in the south, not excepting Alexander H. Stephens or Willie P. Mangnm. Senator Harrison’s recent apeech is attracting a good deal of attention. At random we note that the Milwaukee Re-publican-Sentinel intimates that he may be sorry for hia civil service utterances, and it proposes to clip that part ot his speech and file it away to draw on him in the futore. The Springfield, Massachusetts, Union, apeaking of him as “a man who wiU be liatened to more and more the longer he remains in public life,” says his civil service utterances indicate that he has not thooght the matter of reform out to an ultimate conclusion and that he does not believe anjboiy else bar, The Boston Herald, an independent journal, and one of the ablest in this or any country, devotes two lengthy editorials to his speech. In one, referisg to the senator’s characterization of the river and harbor bill, and the vote cast for it, it says: Senator Harrison recognizes the fact that the bill is the result of log-rolling. He even intimates his belief that congressmen voted for it on the ground that it appropriated money for their districts, and not because it was for the general good ; that they did this to make themselves politically stronger in their districts, by gaining the active support of those who would be chiefly benefited. * * * When it is allowed that members of congress vote for the river and harbor bill because of the items included for their districts, without regard to their reasonableness, the whole character of the bill is exposed. Upon the speech as a whole, which the Herald calls “a western republican view” it says in part: The apeech of Senator Harrison, of Indiana possesses an exceptional interest among the current campaign utterances for two reasons. In the first place, it is a western view of the situation and the issues, and, although New York and Pennsvlvania politics are apt to attract more of the public attention, when it comes to voting, either in national conventions or elections, the west is found to have a commanding influence. In the next place. Senator Harrison is a very able, honest and sagacious politician, nud is more likely than any republican of his section to be the nominee of his party for president or vice president in 1884. Unlike some other prominent republicans wlo are addressing the people, the Indiana senator does not dodge the three most important national issues now before the country—tax reduction, economy in public expenditures and civil service reform. His defense of his party from the charge of responsibility for failure to reduce taxation, it thinks is not a successful defense. Upon the question of extravagant appropriations, it thinks his position is fortunate in his own vote against the river and harbor bill, and acknowledges his frankness in the paragraph already quoted above. “It is ia regard to administrative reform, however," says the Herald, “that the Indiana leader speaks more satisfactorily. His words are worth quoting.” It then quotes them, and commenting upon them, thinks the senator overlooks the fact that a practical and safe reform ia the civil service was “auspiciousJy begun” six yean sgo, and that the ablest administrative officers in the government departments at Washington, and in the great federal offices at New York, have borne emphatic testimony to its superiority and success, and it wants to know why he will not support the Pendleton bill? In conclusion says the Herald: It is not ability or power, so much as au honest pnrpose, that the republican party lacks. If its leaders generally took the same view that Senator Harrison does of (ffice brokerage and the duties and inspirations of real statesmanship, the spoils system would have been given its deathblow at the late session. And here, again, he can only say that the democratic party is no better. It is true. But is it aot high time that we had in this country a party that is better than either? CUKHKNT COMIUKT. Pictures of young Mr. Astor, now U. S. minister to Italy, are appearing in the newspapers. If he looks like his picture he looks mnch as Arabi Bey would, dressed in New York style with a high collar and plaid neck scarf. Secretary Folger while not seeking the nomination for governor of New York etc.—{Ex. The secretary we believe ia the administration candidate, and to say under sock circumstances that he is not seeking the thing, in something as one should say that a figure-head of a ship is not making for port Maybe it isn’t but with 8,000 horse power engines behind it it stand a “good chance of getting there.” The Chicago Times is the only paper in the country conspicuously wild on the subject of civil servic reform. It insists that the spoil* system can not be aboliahed until we make the president a figurehead and have a premier sitting in the house of

representatives to go sut on advene rotes, and all the rest of ministerial government nonsense. The oy*ter trade is looking up, and wholesale dealers of the east say tke pros peels are very favorable. Ben Harrison, In his speech the other dsy, faije d to re Mure us that he would stand by the flip? What has come over our loyal Beojamln? Is Ee preparing to deseit his country In its hour of peril [—LouisviileCourier Journal. It isn’t the old flsg that Harrison refased to stand by; it was the appropriation. He bumped against that river and harbor swindle every time. With Voorheee it is just the reverse, he stood by the appropriation, but as for the flsg . De La Matyr is in Maine advocating the issue of $10,000,000,000 of greenback curreacy at once. That would only give each one in the country $2,000 a piece. Why not be generous and give each about $250,000. It is a mere matter of paper mills and printing presses. The Saturday Hex aid pertineatly observes that the preamble of the prohibitory amendment, differing from those of the other amendments, defines that ameadment as a proposition “to be submitted to the vote of the electors of said state.” This locates the paternity of the “submission” policy pretty effectually, and thereby the Ineffable Pharisee is berelt. Bolting is a good cure for bossing.—[>t. Lon s Globe-Dtmocrat. A great truth; but in queer quarters. Is the truth swelling and pervading that one should find it in the mouth of the great third tetmerand general bossism orgw? The census showed that there were an aggregate of more than a million males more than females in this country and yet in fifty of the largest cities there were several hundred tnousand more females than males. The explanation is apparent. A city affords more ways of livelihood for women than smaller towns do and on the other hand men go out to seek their for tunes in new regions. For some reason or other there is a dull market for beer bottles this year, and the trade reports are that the Pittsburg manufacturers, who make about all the beer bottles of the country, are complaining that “the fall trade bids fair to be quite doll, with a probable weakening of prices.” Is this a “prohibition” item? Senator Ben. Harrison is on the stump In IiifUftua working up his presidential boom. He delivered a tenloleandcruahing blow upon the the head of treason at Indianapolis night before latt.—{6t. Lout* Post-Dispatch. Senator Harxison is not the proprietor of a presidential boom. No man keeps a cooler head or a readier hand for the business of the hoar than he, and if the boom catches him it will have to go after him. Flipper may get along better in Mexico than here. In that land of the cactus and colera, aguardiente and el vomito they are all more or leu saddle-colored, and Flippet’s hue won’t hurt. With cheap food and decent homes come an absence of “strikes” on the part of work* ing men, and thus one of the chief ills attending modern enterprise and one franght with still greater evil to the future prosperily of the nation is removed.—[KansasCity Star. The labor convention at Philadelphia resolved that the children in the public schools should be compelled to study political economy. But it they did study political economy, -they would speedily have (heir eves open to the fallacy and falaityof almost every labor greenback “principle.” — [Pittsburg Leader. Under our double-barreled system of ad valorem and specific duties, the rate on all articles upon which a tariff is fixed, averages forty-four and a half per cent, which practically means that the consumer pajs that premium on all that he buys as a contribution to our infant industries, and yet manufacture) s tell at it does not sufficiently protect. They clamor for higher dulier.—[Cincinnati Commercial, From first to last, the whole evolution of the spoils system has been comprehended in steadily-enlarging abuses of the function, powers and prerogatives of the preai; dent. The country has witnessed the growth of the system from a few party appointments, to fill vacancies resulting from non-partisan causes, to wholesale removals to make places for the henchmen of the president’s supporters.—[Chicago Times. That no sensible mao believes the spoils politicians called democrats will ever make an honest effort to stop the spoils system is an opinion which the Indiiuia senator has to snaxe with an immense number of his fellow-citizens. That no sensible man believes the spoils politicians called republicans will ever make an honest effort to at >p it is an opinion not less generally held, thongh it may not be shared by the senator from Indiana.—[Chicago Times. The policy of protective tariffs is so clearly a policy of scarcity and dearness that, although a protectionist will deny it never so etreanously, he can not help instinctive ly showing his gratification whenever anything happens which promotes scarcity and dearness—so long as it does not touch his own pocket. It ts this instinct which makes the local organ of protection gloat over the reported failore of English crops, and anticipate gleefully the advance of English food prices and the consequent disaster to English manufactures. Yet a moment’s consideration can not fail to show any reasoning mind that anv advance in the prices of food and manufactures in England must be accompanied bv a proportionate advance here, where the cost of living is already so great that the workiog people have all they can do to make bath ends meet.—[Detroit News.
