If it is proved that persona of the prohibited class evade our inspection, there should be some means provided of administering effectual discipline to the steamshiD comoanies that have imDorted them. While the politicians of Kings County are doing their utmost to defeat what is known as the "Consolidation bill." evi- lyn are strongly in favor of the union of taat city with New-York. The motives of tho politicians are obvious, and it is said that tho Kings County Senators are prepared to bargain with those from the counties that have no concern in the con solidation question, to defeat the measure, in return for aid in the Personal Registration bllL A strong delegation from Brooklyn will Wo front that city to Albany next Wednesday for the purpose of 3 1 i .1 aemonnriUDg to tne jegisiature mat iuo politicians and the people are not in accord on this question.

It most be remembered that what the bill provides for is not the consolidation of the cities, but the submission of the question of consolidation to a vote of the people. To defeat the bill would be to deny to the people the right to decide the question for themselves, and in opposing it the politicians practically admit that tho people are not with them. Tho bill repealing that paragraph of the MeKinley tariff which imposes a duty of 4 eents a pound on tin after the first day oz next July was not passed Dei ore adjournment, owing to the hostile attitude of tho Republicans in the Senate, although it had been admitted by many advocates of a high tariff that the action suggested ought to bo taken. Everybody knows now that wo produce no tin in this country, and that tho duty would bo simply a tax upon the Buyers oi ine many articles in me manufacture of which this metal is used as a raw material. If tho first session of the new" Congrees shall not begin until September, this tax will bo collected for at sews two uvuuu wuiuioa suvut 46,000,000 pounds of tin per annum.

Tho action of the fit, George's Society of Toronto in tho ease of Mr. Goldwix Smith has some polities! significance. It was pro posed by tho hotter-headed members of the society to expel Mr. Smith for ths treason to bis sovereign, to England, and to Canada" involved in advocating annexation. Milder counsels prevailed, but ths resolution unanimously adopted, though eosehed in mors moderate and dignified tenns comes to muB the asms thing, it sxpreeees strong disapprobation of ths movement, and "extreme regret that any member of the soeisty should be concerned in' it, It is to be bono in mind, how-svsr, that St.

George's societies are svsry-whers associations not msrsly of men of British descent, box tor ths most part of British subjects trhoj hava no tntantl on changing their failtginnoe. A movement for annexation mlgjit bo extremely popu4 lar in Canada wjjthout enlisting any members of St George's Societies. Ws have evidence that there Is considerable feeling; in Ontario in faforjof such a movement bat it is not to be supposed that a majority of the Provinoe, or! anything like it, are annexationists at present Until they become so, they ever do, our proper policy is to ignore ths subject altogether, and leave it to those most intimately concerned. I I THE SJMTYloi STATESMANSHIP. No publio document hss appeared in this country for many a year so absolutely pervaded with tho sanity of statesmanship, so free from the taint of partisan politics, so far above the infected atmosphere of demagogy, as the address which Mr.

Cleveland delivered to his fellow-countrymen yesterday from the eastern portico of the' Capitol at Washington on taking the oath of office ior the second time as President of the United States. Mr. Cleveland may not be profoundly versed in the lore of political history or the conditions of human government He may not be a learned expositor of institutions or a brilliant defender of principles, but he has an absolutely sound conception of the functions of the Government of these United States and Of the principles upon which iia administration must be conducted if ita popular character is to be maintained. He has the unerring instinct of a clear common sense: as to the policy that must be maintained to guard our great heritage of popular institutions from the insidious Influences that tend to undermine it Like the first President of the Republic, he. lacks the dne-sidedness of genius and possesses the clearness of vision, the soundness of judgment and the invaria-blenessof courage that constitute far safer tokens of statesmanship in the practical guidance of The pervading quality of the inaugural address is this" calm sanity that pierces through all the confusion and mist that are raised by oonfHct oi opinion and of passion.

There is not a suggestion in it of that party spirit against which the first President so solemnly warned his countrymen in his farewell address. Mr. Cleveland points out the dangers that come from relying too confidently upon our national strength and He plainly declares the fundamental truth that nothing is more vital to our supremacy as a Nation and to the beneficent purposes of our Government than a sound and stable currency," and reminds us that' our confidence and faith will not "permit us to defy with impunity the inexorable laws of finance and Without referring to questionsof si Ivor or of gold, of Government notes or of bank circulation, these lucid words bring the mind back to the plain principles that must underlie all monetary devices. ir So in ths references of the: address to the tariff, to the revenues and expenditures of the Government there is no discussion, no argumentation, but some clear touches upon the vital principles that all sane minds must recognize and that plain common sense cannot fail to accept Government taxes should be for the support of the Government's proper functions- on a basis of rational economy, not for tbe profit or advantage of private interest! This is fundamental and intelligible to all men. The statement that while the; people should patriotically and cheerfully support their Government, its functions-do not include the support of Hhe people," condenses into a luminous aphorism the whole controversy of tariff for revenue and tariff for protection, and presents the 'sound side of it in a sentence.

The same kind of clear-out statement of general principles appears in tho brief phrases that refer to publio economy, to pension extravagance, to civil service reform, and to industrial There is the calm and lucid statetnent of i incontrovertible principle that convinces without argument and impresses without It is statesmanship of the most solid kind, for it is within the grasp of the minds that rule in this country, and is calculated to bring them to a clear conception of the conditions of safe government jit contains the note of sanity that is calculated to recall the popular reason to its "normal action and dispel the delusions and sophistications with which it has been clouded. MIL CLEVEtASD JXDIII8 PARTY. No one can read the clear and strong words of Mr. jpLJCVELAXDVaddress of yesterday without feeling that he has a very distinct idea of the duty of his party as well as of his own. and a firm purpose to hold his party to its duty as well as to perform.1: his own.

It is well worth however, that, powerful as is Mr. Clkvkuxd'h personality and efficient as his leadership has been, the remarkable career that he has already had, and that to which he is now called under such unusual conditions, would have been closed to him jihad not found adequate support among the voters. Tnis is the more; significant because the high position he now; holds in thej publio life of the American Union has been conferred on him with the utmost deliberation, and after; his character and his purposes and even his definite policy were thoroughly known to the'oountry. It may be said that in lfefc-1 his elpction was due to a peculiar combination 'pf circumstances, and especially to the'; fatuous choice by the Republicans of a candidate who was sure to be rejected by i very large and influential class of those who had previously acted with that party. But there was no such fortuitous element in the election of last year.

The issues presented to the people wsrs distinct and Ithe choice was mads impartially and intelligently. It showed so plainly thst no one could misunderstand it exactly thai purpose of ths voters who determined the result Mr. Cleveland wss in November, 1692, what he had been known to be for years, and he was mads President because of that knowledge. Ths people got exactly what they wished, and knew exactly what they wars getting. I Tho fact is Ono of groat signlnosaoo, and ono that it is esijr lo overlook.

We, certainly, bare' no i eiiro to underestimate Mr. Cleveland's strength or his extraordinary me lis. On the contrary, the greatness of hose merits snd the extent of thst stret gth sre the measure of the soundness of tl judgment of the American people, and th proof of the high standard of publio life that they gladly apply when they have he opportunity to apply it We undorstan 1 also, and freely admit that the great dy, probably more than three-fourths of the voters of each of the great politic al parties, go to the polls with little independent or intelligent idea ot what they are voting for, guides almost wholly by party But these mssscs balance each otter, and between them stand the voters who vote their convictions, who have a airly clear notion of the consequences of ieir action, and who are determined in it their knowledge of the parties and of the candidates and of what may be expected from them. It is this class to whom Mr Cleveland's character, his conception oi duty, the principles to which he is devoti -dj the measures by which he desires to see th use principles applied, are well known. Th vote for him beoause of these, and his eminent success is due, not only to his sobrage and candor and fidelity, but to ie; appreciation of these qualities among the voters who do their own thinking.

If he is strong in a remarkable degree, it is in the enlightened confidence and roil ect of the voters who really shape the onrse of politics in the Republic. This fact is of tl highest promise. It indicates a state fthe public mind that augurs well for the country. It has been brought about a long process of education and amid gre at'difficulties. There had to be overcome, li rst, the intense and lasting passions of tl rar, against which Mr.

Cleveland had all the more to contend because he has al it ays been an earnest and loyal Democrat Then there had to be overcome the rejndioes implanted by nearly thirty yeiri of a high protective tariff, and not mei ely the prejudices but the feelings aroused personal interests fostered by the oper ktlon of that tariff. And. finally, a serioui obstacle in his pathway was the ipoils system, with its innumerable rcoti and ramifications in every town, unlet and district of the land. Here, it llbe seen, was a double array of obstrnc ion not only in the way of the Democrati Party, but in the way of Mr. Cleveland' i leadership in that party.

They have all 1 eon surmounted by the sheer force, on th one hand, of Mr. Cleveland's indomita ilej honesty and unflinching, unselfish co irage, and on the other let us not forget I t4-by the American love of those qdalitiei and the American capacity for political snse. It is on this basis that the safety the country rests. Mr. Celveland wil do his work and pass again into privai life.

But the qualities of the American people that have nab lex 1 him to do that ark so far, and will enable him to go on witl i it will remain, strengthened by his and available for the support of other leaders who shall equally deserve it i TROLLEY ASp STORAGE BATTERY. There are miny indications that the number of electiio railways will be largely increased this ye arJ We find in one of our contemporaries the assertion that more contracts for trolley systems were made in the last month lan in any three months of 1892. Bat iile there is abundant evidence that elect riclty is to be substituted for horse power )n many old lines and that many new road a are to be constructed in suburban districts; scarcely anything is said about the use of storage batteries. Power is to be applied almost exclusively by means of ov rhead wires and the trolley. The attitude great commercial organizations in the ectrical industries toward the trolley and the storage battery has recently engagtdthe attention of several journals, and one of them, the Unittd Statu Intttlor, re take the following remarks, which i re baaed upon a series of letters relating this subject 44 The eonelnsle i is rapidly being forced npoa the publio that be policy of too General Eleo-trle Company Is a it to acquire a control of the electrical buslnss i off the eoastry by reason of the superior qua lty pf the servlee rendered by It, but to effect monopoly by puraulnjr the bold policy of soi airing control of local electrlo-al planu through tut the length and breadth of the land.

That such a I olley will In the long run result favorably the company Is not to bo believed. It neceai ltate such a dlarocard of the Interests of ahe publio as to preclude ultimate soooess. How much, the publio hare at stake In the matter ean best be Indicated by the course which the Oeneril Eleculo Company Is pursuing regarding th storage battery. The fact Is too dear to admit of argument thai the present trolley system of elestneal propulsion la tolerated by the publ only as the least of many evils. That it ill in time be superseded by a system more dei Irable In every way Is the expectation of the I est oaeehaaleal engineers sad ef the peblle gen iraliy.

The storage battery has been perfected sufficiently to a Imlt of Its ass la European cities, and the tin cannot be very remote whea It will be broncl to ths point where It will satisfy the requ re meats of American towns and cities. Its li uoduotloa oa this side of the Atlantis will, however, render antiquated an enormous eleotrti al plant, eonitrueted at high cost. The electrl al snaaataeturlng companies will find thenisel' es obliged te largely revolutionize the eharat iter st their business, an outlook front which they dsrlvs very little satisfaction. The (barge against the Geseral Electric Compan is that it Is letting no opportunity go by to iulre storage-battery pateats, not however, foi the purpose of affording the public Improved faolllUea, but to perpetuate the trolley systes Krom aa economic point of view this policy sea be characterized aa penny wise aad oaad foolish." UnqnestaonaUy, the storage-battery system of propulsi is the ideal one for use on city and suburban lines. If the perfection and development of it are to be retarded, not onl, by the direct opposition of powerful compi which control ths trolley system, but also indirectly through the purchase and oppression, so to speak, of new storage-battery patents by these companies, ths people will bo deprived for a long time of advantages to which they are: entitled.

Ws kens it is not tras that with respect to ths storage bi ttsry ths General EUotrio Company is trsuing a policy which re sembles that of tho Bell Tsls phono Company in another field. Wo should prefer to believe that if tills company is accumulating storage-battery patents, its purpose is to perfect the storage battery aa a motive power, and not, to prevent or retard the development of it in order that tho trolley plants msy pot be disturbed. TBE CUBAN FILIBUSTERS. The account in yesterday's Times of tho preparation of a filibustering expedition in Florida for a descent upon Cuba is so intrinsically probable that the only wonder is that the preparations should not have been made long ago. It is not likely that Cuba has ever before been in a condition so well adapted to provokerevolution as that which now prevails.

The trouble of the Cubans is primarily economical, and if only incidentally and by aggravation political. In common with all the West India Islands that produce sugar, her industry has received a very severe blow through the development of the manufacture of beet sugar. The effect has been less calamitous in Cuba than in some of the smaller islands, for the reason that the culture of tobacco there furnishes an auxiliary industry of high importance. Nevertheless, the decline in the production and the value of her principal staple has sufficed to inflict severe and general private losses and to render necessary the utmost economy in publio affairs. In fact however, the political 'administration of the island has been adapted to aggravate the sufferings necessarily caused by industrial changes beyond the control either of the Government or of the Cuban people.

The short-sighted and greedy policy which has distinguished the dealings of Spain with her colonies from the first and that has lost her all her colonial possessions in the New World, exoepting only Cuba and Puerto Rico, continues to prevail at Madrid. It is the colonial policy which was defined by a keen observer, more than a century ago, as consisting of "in government, tyranny; in religion, bigotry; in trade, monopoly." The exactions of ths Government have by no means diminished with the lessened ability of the island to meet them. How great they are may be judged from the single fact that the tax for interest upon the public debt alone amounts to sbout $10 annually upon every white inhabitant of the island, and the "army," which has no function except that of a police to put down the manifestations of popular discontent, is about as numerous as that of the United States. A country in such a condition would appear to be at all times ripe for revolution, and revolution to be inevitable when to chronio misgovernment are added serious commercial reverses. Whether a successful Cuban revolution would improve matters may be questionable, but the revolutionists have a forcible argument when they maintain that their success cannot possibly make things worse.

The project of American annexation has scarcely been heard of since the time when it wss proposed to acquire Cnba by way of extending slavery, when Cuba was commercially mask more desirable than it is under the changed conditions. Of course, the only course for our Government to pursue with reference to any scheme of Cnbans for invading Cuba is strictly to enforce oar neutrality laws. That will not and cannot prevent the sympathies of American citizens from going with the Cuban revolutionists, who represent a grievously oppressed and plundered people. PATRIOTISM AND CHEESE. There is a bill before the Legislature at Albany which should become a law without delay.

It provides that only American cheese shall be served hereafter to the inmates of the prisons and other institutions in the control of this State, and its enactment is demanded, it seems to ns, in the interest of both patriotism and good ataste. No argument need be advanced in favor of the patriotic intention of the bilL That is obvious. Good taste, however, is not always associated with the expression of patriotism. We have always had a kind of feeling that William Tell and KiENU were ill bred. They lacked moderation.

The very best modern taste, however, is shown in this measure to stop the use of fc til ton, Roquefort, and Camembert cheeses in our penal institutions To be sure, a bit of old Stilton, well "cured" with Port wine, is regarded as quite the thing after dinner at Del-mohioo'8, but the habitude of that resort have been gradually educated to Stilton. Very few convicts, in spite of a mistaken idea that may be gained by the promiscuous reading of sensational newspapers, are born to high living. There is a lack of harmony in feeding them on viands for the proper appreciation of which at least one generation of culture is required. The execrable taste shown in pretending to like what one is obviously unfitted to like need not be dwelt upon. For the ordinary American convict and pauper a small slice of sound, wholesome American cheese, with a few well-toasted water biscuits, ought to be satisfying sfter the pastry and dessert which should never be too rich.

In" advanced" private' establishments the cheese is now served with the salad. That commendable custom has not yet been: adopted in our prisons and poorhonses, but when it is taken up, as it will bein time to promote good digestion, American cheese will be found quite as palatable, even with a superior mayonnaise, as Roquefort, Limburger, or the rich and pasty fromago de Brie. The text of this bill, however, should be scanned very closely by ths legislators before they take action upon it Possibly its ierms are too sweeping. It would not be wise to make a law compelling convicts and paupers to eat cheese whether they like it or not All law-abiding citisens do not like cheese, and the same is true of the criminal classes and jthe helpless poor. It is no part of the policy of ths Empire State, as we understand it to increase tho punishment of lawbreakers by making them eat things they detest The very thought of this poesibls construction of tho bill, as It now stands, reminds ns of a certain anecdote which wo will not repeat, because its froo.nent.nso by si ter-dinaor orators has brooght It to th ioonditloa of 'tho best Koqaefort-4 condition excellent in fino Imported cheese, Jbnt deplorable in ka amusing story about a slek gentleman vho had never used tobacco in his life, whose physician limited" him toons cigar a day.

No. If a eon riot does not like cheese he should not be compelled to eat even the best Oneida County dairy product at 121 to for fancy. We are, however, strongly in favor of the use of only American cheese in the prisons and poorhonses. And would carry the provisions of this bill still further to include American champagne, which wo should really like to have tried on somebody, and American cigars, which are now very good, indeed, and so expensive that the pride of the most fastidious convict need not suffer from the enforced use of them. For the after-dinner coffee it is likely thst ths imported berry of Brazil or Jsva will still be employed in well-regulated penal institutions, although thereis a much-praised native coffee conspicuously on sale along Eighth Avenue, each package being accompanied, as a guarantee of good faith, by the likeness of a beautiful which is largely used by hard-working, honest folks who have never been fortunate enough to go to JaiL As for the essential caosse well, after the revelations in the recent investigation of the Whisky Trust we think it best to offer no suggestions on this head.

The bill will permit the use of all American cheese, of course, whether it is just plain anonymous cheese or tho native brands of Brie, NeufchateL Camembert, Gruyere, Edam, Gouda, or Parmesan. A small portion of the last-named purely American product well dried and grated, is said to be an excellent addition to the dish of Amerjcan spaghetti, which is now served in penal institutions three times a week with a small glass of pure American chianti. There is, however, a variety of the dairy product of the fertile end beautiful interior counties of this State which, when it is admitted to the prisons, must bo watched closely, for, like the convict himself, it has a tendency to harden with age. This should be used sparingly and distributed in very small' portions, and the convict should be compelled either to eat it or return it to the steward. With a moderately large portion of this article of food, well aged, a desperate convict might kill a keeper or two, or batter down a stone wall, and thus escape from durance.

The weather of the past Winter has been a relentless inquisitor for Street-Cleaning Commissioner Bkennan if that title is not a misnomer. It is not fair to say that it has been his malignant enemy. It has merely put him and his department to a severe test If they had come out of it even creditably, the season might have proved to be a friendly one in giving them an opportunity of showing what they could do. There is glory only in achieving the difficult "The sunshine patriot and Summer soldier get no glory, for they do no deeds. Bkennajt has had a great chance to show what was in him, and he has done it There is nothing in him.
