In a lecent inleivlevv Senator ( Minnd-

netessaij tor the lepub'icans ' to pie

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

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

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.

Tlio Washington coiiespondent of the
Phlladelphki Pi ess sa.vs that something
mote was done at the locent meeting
of laihoad piesidents in Now Yotk
than the iestoi.itIon of the "gentlemen's
agicement" for the lestoiatlon of east
and westbound fieight i.ites over tmnk
lines. 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. Sin li a coin so could not fall to
beget doubts as to the meilts of their
contention.

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.
