The whole proceedings hiivo bt-on steeped in Iniquity and fiaud from their very Inception. The bill which the loglslatuie enacted appioprlatlug fliri.OfX ) for the pin chase of the Mosher- Dorgan Interests and pioporty lights under the piomlse that It was the shott- est way out of an unpleasant dilemma and that It would clear the way for Immediate assumption ol the pilson management by the state authoiltles Is piovlng to be Just the opposite of what was claimed for It. Instead of lidding the . .state of the odious ptison umtiaot the new law Is Involving ovei.vbody conceinod In al most dally Ineieiislng complications. In the Interval Doigan Is holding on and piesontlug his bills legulaily tor 10 cents per day for the maintenance ot each ( onvior. He Is not only using up the goods Included In the appialsemeiit of poiiltontlaiy piopoity to bo tinned over to the state , but ho is also enjoying ( lie piollts of the contiact lor which such extiavagant Indemnity was al lowed. As to the value of this con tiact some ( onliadli lory evidence has very ioontly been offoiod by a man who is In a position to give oxpeit testimony on the subject. While Mr. Mosher o\piossed himself the other day to a lopiesentatlvo ot The I'.eo quite satisfied with the penitentiary awaid and ( ontidenl that It was none too huge , ho also said ho thought Doigan would bo glad to be lelleved of the buiden.

Spanish diplomacy is never sti.lightforwaid , at least so far as this lountry Is concerned , and plans for de lay Is the unlfoim piaetiee whenever the case Involves a demand upon Spain for money.

'I'ho Moia claim has been pending foi a number of je.us and Its justice has been acKnow lodged by a piovious Span ish goveinnient. The Indemnity Is due to an Ameilean citl/en and our govein ment has asked that it bo paid without fin thor unnecossuy delay. 1 ndor these ( licumstanies it would seem that theio Is no leasonable excuse lor an other investigation of the claim , and our gou-inm'Mit should not toleiate anj such subteifuge for delay. If Spain cannot now pay the claim lot that gov einnient say so and ask. lor a icason able 1 nither time , which would un doubtedly bo gianted , but iocoui.se to subteilugo in older to put off payment our Meminent > cannot with a piopor 10- gaid for Its self-iespect submit to.

COVRK/-6'S AM ) rilK TAliim In a lecent inleivlevv Senator ( Minnd- lor ol Now Hampshiio said that the lepnbllcan maloiitv In the house of icp ii-M'i'tativos the oi ritty-tomth con- gitss should emphatically icatllim the pilnclple of pioloctlon when congiess nu > ots In older to do this It will be netessaij tor the lepub'icans ' to pie pose diaiiges In the tin 1ft in the dhee lion of higher duties , ard some justifi cation for doing lids can be found in the necessity lor piovldiug for mou levenne , which will piobably be quite as urgent when congiess moots as It Is now. Some Impiovemeiit in the receipts of the goveinnient Is expected bytu-as- ury olliclals dining the next six months , but It Is not at all likely that the gain will be sutllelont to bring them up to the oxpendltuies. Whatever Improve ment takes place must come chielly 01 altogether fiom customs , for a piinclpa ! somce of Intoinal levenue , the whisk.v tax , piomisos to tniulsh lo-s to tht treasury ( lining the ensuing six months than lor the past six. The aveiagi monthly deficit tor the last fiscal joai was a little mine than $ : tr > ( )0onn ) , , and It cannot loasonably be expected that the iccolpts will be Ineieased to thh amount monthly tiom customs alone. A steadily glowing deficit Is thoiofoie to be looked for until the next con giess can make piovlslon for more lev oiuio. It Is urged that the lepubllcan solu tion of the pioblem Is to u-vlse the tat- Iff In the dliectlon of piotectlon to do nu'stlc Intelest- > , and this would be well in god It the u-publkan paity was In full ( ontiol of the govoinment. Hut manifestly a lovlslon of tlio tatiff by the house of lepieseiitatlves of the PIT- ly-loinlh longress would be a waste of time , since no changes It would be likely to make would be appioved by Mr Cleveland , and It Is by no means certain tain that the pait.v would lie pupul.nl.v bonelited b.v such a couise. So far as the piintlph of piotoctlon Is ( .onceined It Is not netessaiy for the u-pub'Iiaiis In tongiess to spend any time on a u-vIMon of the tariff In the dliectlon of higher duties Lu older to l the country that the party Is still In favor of the protective policy. That Is fully ttndei.stood , and If the party elects the president and congioss next year It will be because of this understand Ing. Such a icstilt would bo a populai mandate , also , to the party to it-stole that policy. In the meantime It would seem to be the part of wNdom. liom the political point of view , to let the deinociatlc fat Iff alone and allow It to work out what tesults It may. the ics- poiislblllty for which must all lost upon the authois of that policy lor creating a delhleiicy In the levenues of the gov 01 in lout. What , then , It may be asked , can In done to Ineieaso the icvenuesV That Is a question to bo ansvveiod by tin ( lemonade admlnlstiatloii. Tinlopub - llcan paity will be in contiol of but one bianch of the Titty-fourth ( ongtos * It will bo poweiless to embodj Into law any policy not accept ible to the adminlstiatlon and Its paitNans in th ? senate. It will have no icspoiislblllty be.voiid the passage of the necessaiy appioprlatlon bills. If admlulstia- - tlon shall have no pl-in tor the iaisim | of additional icvcnito that will bo ac- ceptab'e to the lepiosentatlves of the peoiilu and lotuses to make any con cession to the policy leptesenled by tin- maioiltv In the lower branch of con gloss , the blame and the lesponslblllty lor tin- consequences will lost upon the admliilstiatloii and Its paily. It will bo time enough for the icpiiblicans to revise the tatiff when they have 10- celvod .1 clear and unmislakablo man date fiom the people to do so. I'KIIMIOfb Paitlsaiishlp Is the bane of city gov oinment. The business affairs of a city cannot bo conducted safely on puioly paitisaii lines. It is tlio common piac- tice of paity hacks to sustain and de- lend every act ol otlieeis who belong to their paity , and to denounce and op pose evorjtiling that emanates fiom their political opponents. This piactlce is not otilj detilnient.il to the Interests of the taxpayeis but also subversive of good govoinment.

Then- was also an informal dls Mission lelatlng to the enactment of a lallioad pooling bill by the Kilt.v-fointh congress. What Is pioposed by the i.iil way magnates , aecoidlng to this cor- i spondeiit , Is to go about the business of seeming pooling legislation next winter - tor on n time-lent plan fiom that tan led out In the Klfty-thlid congioss. The giound iilaii was agreed upon at the Now Yoik meeting ; the details weic left to a. committee consisting ot tour tmnk line piesidents. It Is said th it these who might by any possibility bl under the influence 01 contiol of the heavy shippeis , who an- making loi- tuncs eveiy jear on ii-batos , will be ligoionsly kept out ot the light. The policy of the magnates will be ono of sect coy , so far as the conduct of the campaign Is c onceined. That this Is not more eonjootuio is attested by the oxpiesslons of Mi. Chauncey Depevv altoi the meellng or the lallioad ] ) i ( > sldents and the signing of the rate agioement which Is to go into eflec-t nextweek. . The president of the New York Contial said that the only way by which stability of nites could be secured was by allowing pool Ing anangements , subject to the super vision and contiol of the Interstate Commerce commission , the railroad companies to be held u-sponslblo In soveio penalties for any violation of such aiiangemonts. Mr. Depevv did not say that then- would bo any organ I'/ed elf011 to see-ine pooling legislation fiom the next tongioss , but that was quite unncooss.uy. Kvoijbody Is fully aw anof the fact that the i.illvvay pies Ideals and managois aio all in favor ol such legislation , and that being tin- ease they will undoubtedly make a strenuous efloit to get it. The pooling bill that was boloio the. last congioss failed by a sciateh , and that fact encourages the advocates of such legislation to believe that they can succeed with the next congress. Theip Is ic-ason to think that their ch'incos will bo at least as good as thej were In the last longu-ss , If they aio not improved , but they an- quite as likely to damage as to help their case If they woik In societ instead of mak ing their light open and stialghtfor- vvaid.

Are lcfiiiiltnri Innocent ? SI I'.iul Olobo A number of cases have arisen recently which so in likely lo establish a new moral code We have In mind three Instances of heavy defalcations occurring within a few weeks or months In the northwest which seem to be regarded by the communities most Interested as the misfortune rather than the fault of the guilty party In every case an official to whom has been in trusted the safe keeping of public moneys has converted them to his own use and been obllgol at last to confess the shortage In each case the imn has either b en , or chimed to be In other resp cts , i person of honorable action and good standing In the community. His bondsmen hive made good the deficit , or agreed to do so , and the general opinion of the public has ap pealed to be ho'tile lo any further pros cu- tlon of the niMemeanint , or the Infliction of the penalty prescribed by law. ft 1m been found that the funds embez/led were not wasted In riotous living , or used to pm- chase Immoral pleasures , but were simply Invested by the custodlpns In business en terprises which proved failures , or In ven tures of a more or leas speculative charac ter that went to the wall When the man confessed and nude a clean showing liU neighbors and friends rallied about him and Insisted that he should have another chance. While the human sjmpathy and the readiness to forgive which thess cases ex hibit are not without their admirable as pect , we doubt If they can bi safely employed In the regulation of ofllclal conduct And the first point to notice Is that no toleration would be practiced If the amount In question Ind bee-i taken froiji a private safe instead of from the public treasurj Wo do not seem to have got rid of th- singular notion that there la a difference bnween these two performances It hal taken a great whil to secure oven tfid passage of laws and de cisions by the courjs which forbid state treisurers to usij lisi states' monej as their own aiil appropriates the Interest received from It as a deposit The Idea that the fund Is an absolulrtj1 sacred on , not to be disposed of accordiin < o the private Judgment or the Interest of I bo official In whose hands It Is placed , maK ° s way but slowlj Hut if It should bccoip ( i general custom to re- llevo public offlrjfili ! pf the odium and the legal penalties fof theft after they have confessed - fossed to Ihe apfirci rlallon and loss of the treasury s contPiVt ; . .
