THE DAILY NEWS SATTRDAT, FKBRUART 88. 1888. Bxrnmica te a thorough teacher, but •hochaigee dearly for her lessons. This poopls Kill learn soma day that law must bt aaforeod, but it may coat a great deal before that wisdom Is got To report which Is boiog circulated quits extenslrely that The News would lacrease Its price on account of the forthcoming changes and Improvements, Is untrue. The price will not be Increased, but oa the contrary a better article will be given for the same money. It has been possible at last and for oner, to affirm officially, ae witness the repor: of of the senate Investigating committee, that our democratic law-makera have be* u v'o lattng the law In the Intereete of the spoils system, the casein point being the illegal employment of “supei," party hangers on, awarded inordinate pay at clerks tor thi», thaS or the other purpose with nothing to do, almply henchmen billeted upon the pubUc treasury.

Mat as a military department !• aa anomaly aad Is repugnant to our tnetttatloas and cripples tae value of the service. Re might have added, ee has frequently been aato, that It also affords a chance for army Idler*, Uks Eaxen aad the rest, to get soft line cures, while the men who do the work receive neither recognition nor that protection which a system organized with a view to the chancier and needs of a service would give. It is high time that the braas button, shoulder strap,tomfoolery should be stripped from the weather bureau service, aad that valuable branch be turned over to tbe interior department to be administered for whU it te—a dvfl and not a military institution, end to be governed by the rules and laws a; • pllcabls to the civil service. Gnwroire's escape from a vote of ensure would seem to be low close than ai first appears. The Issue was sheer; the f «!.’• ure of the Egyptian campaign which w*s the culmination of a succession of blun Un even worse than the last, that the government bas been responsible for since the bombardment of Alexandria. The popular reaction over the recent events in Egypt has been profound. England bas felt herself humiliaUd and punished not by her enem/a strength, but ber own weakness; yet with the Irish members voting solidly on generri principles against the government, the whole opposition was not able to even master the greater number on a formal vote. It shows what s wonderful hold Gladstone has on England; and li shows, too, what s state of dire befuddle ment England Is in. She confesses the past Incompetency of .the government, and yet Is not ready to try a new one. She roars "on to Khartoum" as madly as ever we roered "on to Richmond," or the French "on to Berlin," and yet It Is ‘‘northing but roaring." A lucky stroke In F.gypt now would rehabilitate Gladstone entirely; but ws take It that it li a reallzttlon of the Inability to make that lucky strike at present that has much to do with preventing tbe swap of bones whllt crossing tbe stream. THEnr te s vast amount of mtelnformitlon In s Washington dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer, which we printed yesterday, telling of the failure of the attempt to suspend tbe compulsory silver coinage. Thu*: When tbe result was announced ther<* was s terrific round of applause. Toe southern and western democrats had prevailed, an 1 tbs monometsHste o* the last had been defeated * ! * Although the proceedings Incident to the vote were without excitement, the result is most significant To put it plainly, the newly elected president, Grover Cleveland, has been rebuked In s democratic house having over seventy majority. It Is known that he Intendsjktr had Intende , to recommend tbe suspension of silver coinage In his Inaugural metssge. The great points of mischievous misrepresentation In this are two: First, that it was a victory over monometaltets; second, that Cleveland intends to recommend the suspension of silver coinage. This misleading dispatch makes It appear that those who believe In only a gold basis for our currency, attempted to do away with silver. Nothing of the sort was attempted, nor te dealred. Neither does President Cleveland wish that thing. What wae attempted and what Cleveland wants, as his letter shows. Is to stop, not the coinage of silver nor to disturb It In any way as part of the specie baste of our currency, but simply to etoo the compulsory clause of the law, which, for the purpose of protecting a few owners of silver mines In this country corn pels the government ito buy the worth of 2,000,000 dollars of 100 cents eacb, of silver bullion and coin it Into pieces called dollars, but which really contain only about elghtyfouc cents worth of sliver, thus resulting In piling up each month about 2,800,000 of these stiver pieces, for which we have no use. It te dealred simply to stop this outrageous swindle, and to leave the currency to adjust itself by natural processes. The people who will applaud their representatives for refusing to do this know not what they do; for they are preparing tor themselves Inevitably a time when those eighty-four cent dollars will drive out the 100 cent dollars, and the forme: will then be alone what these people will receive for their labor. But commerce can’t be cheated. It protects itself by ra's'ng prices to make up the difference of sixteen cents. You can compel a man by law to take eighty-four cents In discharge of a debt of oue dollar, but ycu can’t compel him to sell a dollar’s worth of food or clothes for eighty-four cents, and just as soon as the redundancy of eighty four-cent dollars causes them to be come the measure of value, then every man will ask (1 16 for his dollar’s worth of goods. The one who suffers most by this Is the laberer, who must sell his labor lu terms—a dollar for a day say—whether it be a dollar of eighty-four cents or one hundred cents, and he is the last one In the scale able to protect himself.

Ing a new code of laws for the state, be :s reasonably alarmed lest ex Mayor Elson shall go to JalL We had a Mg row to municipal government when Edson went out of the mayoralty and Grace went In A judge enjoined Edson not to make tny apoofetmenta.

Tbe actual Florence Is a stout, jolly-faced and somewhat grizzled man of fifty yea s and over, wearing clothes which tend u trifle towards the style ot the fur collared and odd hatted negro minstrel off the stag*, and yet altogether a striking figure without being theatrically cheapened. The portrait in the window lepreeents Florence as a blooming youth, and some of us can re member when It was truthfu 1 ; but even on the stage, when as Bob Brlerly he looks as young aa he can, he could be the father of that (hap. it Is a professional weakness of most performers to distance their pictures iu advancing age, and in this Instance It does not argue any vanity on the part cf F c:ence.

was a tine when the democrat could depend on It for 8.C00 majority for their man whomsc ever he might be, bat the events of recent jeers have made It very uncertain. There are more Independent voters attached to both parties there than can be found poesibty, to any city In the gnion. ud they vote with an Independence that Is alarming to the professional politlcten, Just see how they shit arcund. In IS&lthey frowned on Hancock { atd gave him less than halt the majority j they had given Til den to 1S76; yet they gave Haiccck 6,000 majority. A year later they turned to and elected Low republican mayor be 5.C00. In 1S83 they made a rush for | Cleveland for governor and carried not only every ward acd every a'sembly district for him, but every one of tte 400 elec Ion dto trlcta, and they rolled up some 20,000 democratic me j'-rlty. In 1S83 came another contest for merer, and the democratic majority of 30.0CO of the year before was scattered to the winds at d a rrpnbtfcau majority of L'00 [ wasrecoidtd.

How does the Idea of fighting with knives . strike veu'' We have had a public, prear | rarged oce, right here in the. midst of acute civ.lizatlon. The probability te that, eon- ! cernltg the love acd respect that a succeerI fnl pugiltet comma’d*. the winner of a [ deadly struggle with blades might even i beat young Low In Brooklyn ttoelf. But the savagery to this Instatr# was farcical. The fierceness was so harmless that the hallfui of spectators ridiculed It. The antagonists were dark-visaged tcowlers. one being war ranted from Sicily, that Hand of the vendetta »Mfe the dagger; their costumes were picturesque, and their bared arms brawny; and tte weapons wi n which they were to lunge at each othe’s hearts had dreadful blades more thin a foot long. N >th;ng to the way of mimic combat on the stage could be to vested with grsa’er murderousness of aspect. But sscurely fas’ened to tbe point of each knife wae a soh! wad of cotton and leather, so that there wasn't the rliahteat danger of penetration; and the gore to be shed was to tlD> pouchts over the fighter*’hearts. Tbe effjrt win to Jsb tb«ee receptacles, let out the blood, and so metaphorically slay. Tbe men were adepts at tbe sport, and their struggle waa really a vigorous mlx'ure of fencing and wrestling; lu* the New Yorkers would not be entertained by so much fury over so little harm, acd tbe mimicry ol Blclllan bloodshed excited laughter ody.
