TIMELY TALK, Albert Dassett on major Beeclier's memory opened the way to opportunities of enlarged usefulness. His experience has been of a character which will enhance the valne of his services in the future and hia Democracy is of that robust type which should insure for him the vote of overy voter of the Democratic faith within the borders of his constituency. storage of petroleum.

We made an investigation on this point in the Continental citios three years ago and now commence our work here. It is contemplated to havo legislation on the subject at tho next sosslon of Parliament We have large quantities of mineral oils and other inflammable material stored near great cities, and tbe question ol caring for it is an Important one. It behooves us to proceed carefully, so as not to Interfere unjustly with so Important a trade and so that consumers may not bo put to a disadvantage. America is tho greatest of oil producing countries, and we are now engaged in looking into your system of storage In large cities. We shall visit the oil producing regions or some typical examples of them In our tour." Will you look Into the subject of dynamtto 1" My principal duty Is an advisory one to the Secretary of State in regard to petroleum, but it will be secondary with me to learn all I 'can about dynamite in this country.

There is so much dynamite manufactured and other high explosives that will be of interest to mo professionally. We have In Scotland tho largest dynamite manufactory la the world, but It does not concern us so much about its place of manufacture as where it goes to afterward. We havo had no Importation of high explosives from America, except when wo did not want them. I hope to have an opportunity of investigating the storage of powder, and also to inquire into tho explosion of the magazine near by your city. law by citing the well established principle that every reasonable presumption will be in.

dulged in support of the constitutionality of statute, and by quoting the words of the Court in the Orange County oaso as follows A legislative act is not to be declared void npon a mere confliot of interpretation between the legislative and the judioial power; before pro ceeding to annul by judioial sentence what has been enacted by the law making power it should clearly appear that the aot cannot be supported by any reasonable intendment or reasonable presumption." The Setting Aside ot Xietulner. At the Democratic Convention of Queens County held recently Mr. John Fleming, the present upright, capable and efficient District Attorney, was defeated for renomination. Mr Fleming has discharged the duties of his of fice with great acceptability to the law amd ing people of Queens. His courageous efforts to suppress gambling and other disorderly practices within the county, which were only crowned with success after a severe straggle, entitled him to the commendation of every citizen who favors the enforcement of the statutes.

It is discreditable to the party that Mr. Fleming should have been beaten. Ee deserved better treatment than he received at the hands of the delegates.who certainly were not animated by a desire to defer to publio sentiment in brineing about his rejection. In his place Mr. Thomas F.

McGowan was nom inated. If it bo true that the influences whioh caused Mr. Fleming to be set aside and Mr. McGowan to be substituted are those whioh sought in vain to protect the Oedarhurst gamblers, the action of the convention was unwise. Wo presume that the Demooratio majority in Queens County is sufficient to insure Mr.

McGowan's election. If, after his assumption of the duties of proseoutor he seeks in good faith to enforce the laws he will receive the support of all right thinking men, but if he should allow himself in offico to be the tool of the pool sellers and other law breakers, the Eagle will see to it that his oase is brought to the attention of the Governor, and that his post is vaoated as promptly ns the consummation of the neoes sary formalities will permit. General Black, of the Pension Office, informs a subordinate at San Francisco that he is liable to removal from office if he submits to any assessment for politioal purposes. That is the law, and it is timely to oall the attention of every Federal officeholder to it. The object of the statute is to proteot Government employes from harpies of the Joy Hubbell species.

It is not intended to impose any restraint upon such as may be disposed, with out solicitation, to help defray necessary cam paign expenses. The sole design is to put a stop to extortion and relieve the offloiol from all fear of losing his place if he does not con tribute. Land Commissioner Sparks is a faithful nnd intrepid officer. He is fighting, almost single handed, one of the worst gangs of speculators ever organized to plunder the Government. Their suborned allies of the preBS are assail, ing him with falsehood and misrepresentation, These attaoks do not frighten him in the least, but they do seem to interfere with the official support to whioh he is entitled.

The Administration of President Cleveland has no more formidable band or oorruptionists to deal with than the Land ring. It should be resolute and energetic in giving all assistance and encouragement to Commissioner Sparks. There are indications that tho George boom is petering out. The little great man is of fending the Labor leaders by his excessive conceit and arrogance. A representative from one of the Harlem organizations oalled at the Clarendon the other day and had a short inter view with the candidate.

When he oame out his face was expressive of anger and disap pointment. Somebody asked him the cause, and received for an answer "Oh, the little fellow's getting too big for his breeohes." This self importance is very evident iu the braggart and defiant tone of his latest spoeches. His experience at the ballot box a week from next Tuesday will be likely to re store him to a more philosophio frameof mind. When the Long Island Association was con sidenng favorably a resolution not to aocept the share of Exoise moneys awarded to the Baptist Home, inasmuch as it was derived from the sale of beer and whisky, the worldly wise Brother Richardson advised the members not to refuse it. "I Bay, take all we oan get," he remarked.

Of course, that is what he al ways says. The oharaoteristio quality of the observation will bo ot onoe recognized by an applauding publio. As to the narrow ground of the objection the deacon was right; but the faot is that this method of disposing of the Excise moneys is all wrong. They should go into the treasury with all other tax reoeipts. If the city must make charitable gifts let it make them by a distinct appropriation.

Nobody doubts Senator Edmunds' fidelity to the cause of the Republican party, and therefore the astonishment and resentment which he expresses in his letter to Edwin Fischer are quite gratuitous. What every body doubts, however, is his disposition to support Mr. Blaino as the. Republican candidate for President. If Mr.

Edmunds would show a little of the politioal courage and in dependence with which his partisans credit him, and oondidly say what ho unquestionably feels, that Mr. Blaine is not a fit man for the Presidency, his fine emotions would never again be aroused by suah suspicions as those implied in the Fischer letter. Rev. John B. Paxton at the meeting of the New York Presbytery last Tuesday gave the new school of Andover theologians a very hearty pat on tho back.

The time was past, he said, when it waB considered that the sovoge would be lost if he was not saved by missionaries. He also called attention to the faot that there is a great difference between missionaries. Of many of them he had heard naval officers tell bad stories. A well known Frenoh writer and traveler bears witness that the heathen have also discovered a great difference between missionaries. He says they find some of them too tough to eat raw and not fat enough to roast.

WILLIAM TOMI.INS. OV CHICAGO, On SATURDAY EVENING, October 23, AT HISTORICAL HALL Cornor Pierrop mt nnd Clinton sts, In response in tho following letter: New Yobk, September 27, 18S9. WM. L. TOMLINS.

Chicago, 111.: Dear Sir Having witnessed the wonderful rosnlts of your method of training ohUdren'avoioea and rftoognlcins tho advantages whioh mnst follow a wider promnlgatioa of tho system, we hope that, if oonslstent with your other dnties. you may arrange a. course of loctnres, or lesson, la lty during the ensuing aeaaoD In GUIS enu wo uiorjuu e.wj, viu.uuim.wcuv wm Voir truly, tiieo. thomas, wm steinway; lenlar interest, to upeiustendtnte of trade with that country. He will take oat with him samples of Canadian goods from more than two hundred manufacturers, and to stimulate the trade the Canadian Government has ogreed to give a drawback on all manu factured goods exported to Australia equal to 90 per cent, of the amount of the duty on the raw material which enters into their composi tion Mr.

Alex. Woods, the new Agent General to Australia, addressed a speoiol meeting of the Board of Trade the other day in Montreal and he explained his plans and those of the Government to the merchants. There seemed to ben very general agreement that this move ment to capture the Australian trade was cer tdin to suooeed. A representative of the Mel borne Aryus, who was present, said that if the Canadians could produce the goods as oheaply as or even a dollar dearer than the Americans. tho Australians would buy from them, as they would prefer Canadian goods to those of for.

eigners, even if they paid more dearly for them. It would be nothing more than pru dent for our merchants to keep a sharp eye on these Canadian movements for underselling us abroad. A Deserved Honor. In the Tenth Assembly District'the Demo. crats have made an excellent choice in the renomination of Assemblyman John B.

Long ley. Tho nominee, in point of capacity and character, ranked among the foremost mem bers of tho last Legislature. Ho is a gentle man whose qualifications for public station have been recognized by other constituencies than that which has just honored him with renewal of its confidence. In no instance has he failed to measure up fully to a high standard of efficiency. It is emi nently desirable that there should be sent to Albany from Brooklyn legislators capable of voicing on the floor of the House the senti mentB and necessities of the community.

As Bemblyman 'Longley, both for knowledge of porliamentary usage and for force and skill as a debater, has earned a deservedly good reputation. His legislative career has been creditable to himself and to the people whose interests he has studiously endeav orcd to protect and promote. The district for which ho stands, on general issues. is securelv Democratic, but, owing to majority dissensions, the Republicans have elected tho Assemblyman several times since it was apportioned. Against Mr.

Longley his partisan adversaries have put up a citizen whoso only knowledge of legislative procedure has been gained in supervision of a green house in tho vicinity of Greenwood Cemetery. The Democratic voters of tho Eighth, Ninth and Twenty second words, which comprise the district, should see to it that the flowers that bloom in the Fall, tra la, have nothing to do with the legislative case in this particular in. stance. The Word Protestant." The line that separates the sublime from the ridiculouB is often so imperceptible that the tragedian who thinks he is domg the sublime is sometimes astonished at being congratulated for his wit. We mean no disrespect to the august assembly of the Episcopal Church, now sitting at Chioago, when we say that the sublime and the ridiculous have come dangerously near to each other in their deliberations, and that they have shown a discretion of the most oppor tune kind in refusing to change the name of tho "Protestant Episcopal Church." When the great Irish patriot and law yer, Daniel O'Connell, was off duty and attending convention, as one might say, he made a.

bet that he would enrage an apple woman in an Irish market place, when at the same time the epithets he would apply to her should be either complimentary or innocent. "You circular shaped isosceles triangle any sides of which are much more than equal to your third side or the sides of any other women, what do you charge for your oranges you dirty thief of the world," said tho old lady, swelling Mb nasal organ with a good sized carrot, "do you dare to apply such vile epithets and 'women's olacker' to me." Al though Daniel O'Connell was over six feet in his shoes, he was very glad to esoape after hurling baok at the old lady the epithets "isosceles" and "reotillnear." Very much the same kind of controversy has occupied the attention of the Protestant Episoopal Convention at Chicago. A minority of learned and influential clerical and lay dele gates recently urged that the word "Protestant" was not descriptive of the ohuroh but was, on the contrary, a sort of negative dilu tion that watered the milk and adulterated the genuine article. It is now too late in the day to remind tne American puDlio or tne origin of the word "Protestant," and, if it were a new term suddenly invented and saddled on the Episcopal Ohuroh for partisan objects, it would be indefensible as a description of Amerioan churchmanship. But words have often a traditional sense attaohed to them which is even more lucid and significant than their etymological derivation.

A "martyr," for example, means simply a witness, but it has come to mean a self sacrificing victim to his own conscientious belief. The silver piece has become gold in the process. A "cicerone" in Italy means the talkative hire ling who shows the stranger around, the eternal sleep of Marous Tullias Cicero is not disturbed by this deterioration of language. "Prevent," as every one knows, means to go. before a person or work in order to moke tho way clear and accomplish what is desired Thus in the Episcopal Prayer Book we have the solemn petition "Prevent us, Lord, in all our doings with Thy most gracious favor and further us with Thy continued help." When that collect was written "prevent" had the same meaning as "further" or "help along." Citizens of the world in the present day are supposed to have a modicum of common sense and interpretation.

Old names, whioh are often the best names, may have ohonged their meaning since the days of Shakspeare, but society is supposed to have kept pace with the ohange. So it is with tho word "Protestant." It was first applied to those who "protested" against a certain Diet convened by the imperial tyrant, Charles V. But everybody knows what it signifies to day, and the Protestant Episcopal Ohuroh would have lost the respect of oil true Americans had she voted in this convention to abandon the word "Protestant" for that of "Oatholio," which cannot possibly apply to her. It would be a blot upon the illustrious banner of American Protestant Episcopaoy to change the namo, even though clergymen as honest and catholic minded as the late Dr. Ewer coll it a merely negative description, like the term "Anti Mormon Gubernatorial State," would be if applied to Massachusetts or New York.

Tito Attorney General on the Collateral Inheritance Law, We have more than once referred to the contest which is now going on as to tho con. stitutionality of the Collateral Inheritance Tax law," so called, which becomes a matter of considerable publio importance from the faot that, when it is fully enforced, it is expected to contribute $1,000,000 annually to the revenue of the State. The matter is now before the General Term and will go finally to the Court of Appeals in a test case, on which somo sevonty fivo others depend. Tho main ground on which this law is attacked is that it does not satisfy the requirement of tho Constitution of the State of New York, which provides that every law which imposes a tax shall distinctly state the tax and the object to which it is to be applied. The law in question simply Btates that the tax shall be "for the use of the State." Pending the decision of the higher courts, County Treasurer Essen, of Buffalo, hasaskod for the opinion of Attorney General O'Brien as to tne constitutionality or tnis law.

xnis officer holds that the law is constitutional, giving reasons for his opinion and citing authorities which seem to bear out his view of tho case. As to the point above referred he holds that the declaration in the law that the tax shall be "for the use of the State" is sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Constitution, and he oites a case from Orange County, which was decided by the (Jourt of Appoals, in whioh it was held that this require ment was satisfied by. a declaration in the statute that tho money was to be paid into tho treasury to tho credit of the "general fund," although such fund is applicable to any ob joot whioh the Legislature dooms proper. This is certainly a strong oaso and verynearly analogous to the ono arising out of the Col lateral Inheritance Tax law;" Tho Albert Daggett There is no member of the Beecher family who does not owe a debt of grati tude to Judge Traoy which he or she should ever forget I regret to see tbat Colonel Beecher, ex sited by tho possibilities of a political future for himself, Is contributing to tho chances of a Demo cratic victory by his candidacy for District Attorney. Let him brush tbe cobwebs from his memory and when he has done this let him quote Judge Tracy's opinions and sayings exactly as theyfell from Judge Tracy's lips or pen, and not so grossly and outrageously distort them as he did in bis speech in the Twenty third Ward the other evening.

As to the Annexatlou suit at law, I think it is the groatest absurdity of tho Nineteenth Century. When I get sick the doctor Is sent tor before I die. Thero is no necessity for his services after death. And so it is with tho Annexationists. They are as dead as Hector.

Commodoro Ghorardi Tou ask mo why all naval officers prefer tho Brooklyn yard to any other In the country. We see more here in a day than wo would soo at any other station In six months. This Is tho yard of the country. When I was in Philadelphia I was at tbe head of the Sailors' Home.

Fears of a Conflict With the Central Labor Union Arbitration Commissioner Donovan Thinks Working men Will Not Hold Together The Hedge to be Submitted to All Candidates.

Delegates from nine trade3 unions met last evening In 800 Fulton street for the purpose of devising plans to carry out the principles of tbe political branch of tho Workingmeh's State. Trades Assembly, In regard to pledging Assemblymen to vote for bills in the interest of labor. B. T. Dognan, chairman of tbe Executive Committee of Kings County, was chosen chairman of the meeting, and be began the proceedings by saying: The object of this mooting is not for political action, but for the purpose of pledging nominees for of all parties.

It makes no difference what men go to tho State Legislature so long as tney are pledged to act with us. Iu the past the only advantages gained by labor has been by so pledging candidates. There bas been no Instance where laboring men have been aided by legislative measures. We had hard work lost year to get the candidates to sign our pledges, and this year we will go to work In a more systemotlc way and organize Assembly districts so that each candidate shall be visited. There are certain laws tbat must be repealod.

One is the portion of the Penal Code which operates against tho action of labor organizations. The State Legislation Committee will work this yoar for tho ropeal of those classes alone. Twonty years ago labor organizations were called conspiracies and It was only by long and continuous effort that they have been enabled to tako the position tuat they hold to day. The Penal Code must bo changed aud the Mechanic's Lien law and tho Factory Inspection law also. After thejeandidotos have been seen a mass meeting will he held and their answers to the pledge be placed before you.

Mr. James B. Ferguson was then elected secretary, and tho meeting procoedod to appoint committees to get up a moss mooting and to visit candidates in each Assembly district It was voted to leave tho appointment of the committees to tho chairman. For the First and Second districts he appointed J. J.

Jordan and C. Thatford; tho Third, James Dillon and S. Soloinan; for the Fourth, E. J. O'Rourke and James B.

Fergus in; for tho Fifth, J. B. MoGuire and M. J. Murray; for the Sixth and Seventh, E.

Rosenburg, James Grahamand F. Freltag; for tho Eighth, John Apple, John Murray and F. F. Donovan; for tho Ninth, B. F.

Degnan and John Bowdeu; for the Tenth, Thomas F. Mccarty and Daniel Hanlon; for the Eloventh, Ernest Melchleg aud William Lynch, and for tho Twelfth, P. J. Klloy and I'oter W. Birck.

The Executive Committee of the Kings County branch was appointed as tbe committee to got up the mass mooting to be bold next Friday night James Klloy then made a motion that tho name of James Graham bo placed before tbo Democratic mauagers for nomluation from tho Elovouth District for the Assembly. Mr. Graham Our policy should be neutral, and I should not like to have that done. Mr. Riley They are begglug for a candidate in tbat district, and I don't see why wo sbould not give them one.

Our candidate would be elected. Jamoa Dillon This Is not the purpose of this meeting, and I think it would be unwise to do any such thing. Mr. Hiloy then wlthdrow his motion. Jamos B.

Ferguson moved that a permanent organization be formed to act with tho State Trades Assembly. Air. Dillon This would conflict with tho Central Labor Union, and I hope tho mo.ion will not bo carried. F. F.

Donovan I am glad this motion has been made. It is time that the workingmen of Brooklyn sbould assert themselves. Formiug a permanent organization Is tho only way that wo Can achieve auy success. I am sorry that It is Impossible for us to elect our men, but we can't, for the working men won't hold together. If we enforce our pledges we con gain our ends.

I hope a strong committee will bo appointed. Charles Thatford I am opposed to this motion, for I do not think it is yet time for us to form any political worklngmen's association. It would create dlsseusion and Is not necessary at present John Phillips I think the scheme is worth trying if we could get a bone fide political trades union and not be misrepresented. The Chairman The papers havo given full vent to the doings of certain so called friends of labor. If wo had a permanent organization why then people would know who true laboring men ore.

The motion was carried, but this action was afterward reconsidered and the matter was laid ovor until tho mass meetiug ou Friday night The meeting then adjourned. The pledge which will be demanded is as follows: Will you (if elected to the Asombly) vote for a bill repealing the clauses of the Peual Code which operate against tbe action of labor organization? Will you vote for a bill establishing a Bureau of State Printing, and against giving any State printing to auy firm that discriminates against members of a labor organization Will you vote tor a bill amouding the Surface Hallway act (which makes twolvo bours a day's work on the street railways ot New York and Brooklyn) so as to apply to all strent railways in the State? Will you vole for a bill ameudiuo the act reoulr ing engineers In New York and Brooklyn where steam boilers are used to be competent men, so as to apply Its provisions to all places In tho State where more than five persons are employed? Will you vote for a bill continuing the State Board of Arbitration and increasing its powers 7 Will you vote for a bill Increasing tho numbor ot factory Inspectors to mot the requirements of tho State? ill you vote to amend the Moahanlcs' Lion law. so as to make mechanics' wages the first lien on buuuings; IS AMERIOAN SOCIETY READY? An Important Question 4.nent Ibo Olili tary Standard of tbe Nation. The traditional American policy of avoiding the employmentot regular troops In the suppression of disorders has been proved a wise ono. It has spared us tho financial and other evils which attend the maintenance of a large regular army.

It has sur rounded tho little regular force with so much of the odor of sanctity tbat it has become necessary to use It in the last resort, a sergeant and a dozen men have beon sufficient to make tbelr way through the stoutest mob. It has kept alive the popular seuse of the cumulative power by which American society deals with disorder; first the Sheriff with his posse; then the Governor with the militia of tbe Stato; and flnolly, and in tho last resort, the President with the regular troops ot the United Statos; so that a suf ficiently serious resistance can only result in arraying against It tho entire physical force of the nation. Every Indication to be drawn from past experience warns us to rely on the militia of tho States as the main instrument for the preservation of order, keeping the little regular force as the final trump card, to be playod only when the Btate of tho game imperatively requires It Tho State militia, then, lathe key to tho situation. How the States have dealt with their trust it is hardly necessary to say. Tho story Is tbe Same In all the States.

In each there are a fow crack regl monts, usually In the cities, and a numbor of others which figure largely on paper, but would need several montha of active campaigning in order to take rank as really olleotivo military force. Some of the companies hardly ever see one another until they touch elbows for tho first time while listening to the reading of the Riot act Such a fores must of nocesslty be buta broken roed when the State comes to lean upon it; and the persistent refusal of the States to better it is only symptomatic of that general policy which subordinates everything else to the securing ol time for the legislatures to engage In the more congenial business of deals, to the ne glect of the protection of the State and Its Interests. Tboro Is small hope for the State militia, when left to the tender mercies of a State legislature. Tbere Is no need that it should be left to any such fate. Tbe Constitution in the eighth section of Ar tlole gives complete authority to Congress to meet the emergency in question.

It empowers Congress, by goneral law, first to provide for organizing, arming and disciplining the militia; second to provide for their use in exeoutlng tho laws of tbe Union, and in suppressing Insurrections, and third to pro vide for governing tbe mllltla, wben so called out, reserving to the States the appointment of tho officers and the execution of tbe discipline prescribed by Congress. There stands the power, waiting for Congress to put life Into it, If tbat estimable body could spare time for the work at any of Its sessions. One fifth of the appropriations in the River and Harbor bill, one flftioth of the heart burnings, Joal ousles and log rolling which mark the annual pro gress of that measure would put American society into a position from which it could consider Judiciously and decide Justly the conflicting claims which now so seriously threaten the publio tranquillity. To decide under the pressure of riot and disorder is of necosslty to doclde unjustly. For security against suoh a calamity It isonly necessary for.

Congress to exercise Its plenary power under tho Constitution. Win the now Congress do it? It Is true that the transfer to Congress of legisla tive power on marriage aud dlvorco Is, In more senses than ono, a leap Into the unknown. But, when It offers so promising, so clear a road to tho solution of the Mormon problem, when It offers as surance of security to a great and helpless olass of our ever moving population, when the Indications from analogy are that the unknown will be advantageous to tho social and political Interests of the people and Injurious to none, the subject Is evil dentlyone of tho moat thoughtful consideration, lest opportunity, onco lot slip, should pass from us forover.

Tho Eaif New ITork Water Job Dea cf. The Republican City Convention placed oandidfttrs for Controller and City Audi tor on a platform which opposed the taking by the city of the plant of the East New York 'water works, nntil and unless the Legislature materially changed the' conditions under Which the works should be acquired. This course was advisedly adopted by the Republican City Convention, because of the disclosure of the difference between the value of the works and the price imposed on the city, if the city accept the works, in the present law. Our readers are familiar with the figures and the facts. The Eaole has made them plain to this public.

When the Eaole printod and commonted upon the action of the Republican City Convention the statemont was made that the Democratic candidates for Controller and City Auditor would be Riven an opportunity to speak upon the same subject. On Friday they did 60. Both of them explicitly say that they are against the acquisition of that Water plant, until the Legislature shall so emend tho law as to enable the city to got value for value, and not be saddled with an exorbitant price for an asset worth nothing like the amount named. Mayor Whitney and the retiring Controller, Mr. Brinkerhoff, have both also explicitly declarod that they are opposed to the acquisition of that water plant botween now and January 1, 1887, when the men to bo elected on November 2 will take office.

As tho co operation of these two gentlemen would bo necessary to spring this job on the city, in that time, their refusal to co operate in any such policy is conclusive against it. Tho officials now in are against it The officials to be elected as their successors, whether Democrats or Ropublicaus, are bIbo against The people are protected in the matter both for the present and the future. Tho subject became an issue in the canvass because the taxpayers and all thoughtful and honest citizens felt gravely on it. Tho candidates of both parties have all agreed to take the side of the people against the speculators. The Eagle and other Brooklyn papers that ehowed the character of the job have the satisfaction of knowing that they did their work well and that the labor has been successful.

Something has been effected for Brooklyn and what has been done will render what re mains to be dono easier to bo accomplished. The carrying out of the job has been prevented. Tho job itself must bo dostroyod by ropeal legislation. That duty will follow in due course. Parly Politician and Public Trust.

It is a favorite occupation of tho well meaning citizens who advocate tho iut.ingible tiling called non partisanship in politics to doubt tho capacity of tlie average politician to administer governmental trusts. To their dis torted visions the directors of party move ments become, by reason of their association with politics, unfitted for the discharge of high civic functions. Happily, this mistaken idea is being gradually corrected, oven among those who have hitherto regarded politicians as agents of the Evil One. Perhaps nothing has done more to destroy this extraordinary ond foolish notion than the splendid record made by the Hon. Daniel Mauuing, as Secretary of the Treasury.

Before his accession to the head of the Treasury Department Mr. Manning ranked as a political manager in tho highest and be9t Bense of tho term. His elevation wa3 viewed with un joncealed misgivings by supersensitive non; partisans. It was feared by them that he Would turn tho financial branoh of the Ad aunistration into a party 'machine." Before Jie had been in office many months, however, Sheydiscovered their error and it is to their Credit that they hastened to make suitable acknowledgment of their miscalculation. The signal ability displayed by Mr.

Manning trad the dignity and industry which distin guished his labors soon placed him at the head of the Cabinet in public estimation. His friends and his critics were at once im pressed with the truth that the possession of political skill is not incompatible with tho traits which go to the making of a great Btates man and that there is nothing in legitimate partisan endeavor that tends to prevent any one otherwise qualified from becoming an administrative agent of tho first order. Another illustration of the fallacy of the impression that political activity and official Inefficiency are inseparable is found in tho oa reer of the Hon. Alton B. Parker, of Ulster County, who has just been nominated for tho Supreme Court bench in the Third Judicial District of this State.

Judge Parker entered upon the stage of general political observation lost year as one of the most capable and untiring supporters of Governor Hill's canvass lor re election. He was at the timo Surrogate of Ulster, but in no wise hositated to partici pate aotively in politics as ohairman of the democratic State Executive Committee, so long as that participation did not interfere with the discharge of hia judicial functions. Subsequently, after the death of the late Judge Westhrook, Governor Hill appointed Mr. Parker to the vacancy. Much adverse criti cism was aroused by the appointment.

The critics alleged that it was given iu reward for partisan services. Whether they desired that the Governor should bestow signs of his favor upon his adversaries instead of his friends, did Dot appear at the time, but tho irrcsistiblo inference is that such was their intention. Nevertheless, Governor Hill had his own way. Mid Mr. Parker beoame a Supreme Court judge.

Instead of realizing the melancholy expectations of his non partisan friends that "politics" would impair his usefulness, Judge Parker has made an admirable jurist. His duties have been performed with intelligence, fidelity to the common welfare and untiring presevoranco. His reputation for industry Wid expedition on the circuit, already Achieved, has made him a general favorite without distinction of party. His renomination by the Democrats has been fittingly supplemented by a hearty Republican Indorsement, so that his re election will be made unanimous. The renomination of Judge Parker and the enthusiasm which it has elicited demonstrate conclusively that the masses of the people are not averse to the proposition that a capable and fearless politician may baoomo a faithful and useful public functionary.

The Fourth Congressional District. The Republicans of the Fourth Congressional District, in the nomination of Mr. Eugene P. O'Connor, have submitted a very respectable candidate. The presentation of Mr.

O'Connor is iu striking contrast with the action of that party in the district two years ftgo. Then tho nominee was Mr. "Barney" Mulholland, a professional ward politician, Whose candidacy was one of the stupendous blunders made by the managers at the critical Stage of tho Presidential canvass. Mr. O'Connor is a considerable improvement on Mul holland.

Ho is a lawyer of moderate attainments, has a good record as a soldier and commands the respect of his fellow citizens. There is no reason why ho should not recolvo tho support of his party at tho polls. If, however, the Republican politicians, in netting him before tho people, indulge iu ex pectations that he will make an inroad on the Democratic strength, thoy fall into a serious Error. The Democrats have a natural major ity in tho district of between 4,000 and 5,000 votes, so that Mr. O'Connor's nomination will Unswer no better purpose than to fill a vacancy on the Republican ticket with an amiable and presentable man.

Therocan be no difference of opinion among intelligent Democrats B3 to their duty in the promises, which is to give their suffrages to tho Hon. Peter P. Ma honey, the regular Democratic nominee. Mr. Mahoncy lias already served ono term In the House of Representatives.

The reputation he has established in that time ought to commend him to the favorablo consideration of his constituents. Without developing any brilliant qualities, or making attempts at showy display, ho has Jjeen a feitiif nl and painstaking representa By to Oftieful attention to duty he has Third Cons res District. The Third Congressional District comprises the Seventh, Thirteenth, Nineteenth, Twentieth, Twenty first and Twenty third wards. Thero wore 33.130 votes cast in those wardB in 1884. They represent a population of quite 160,000.

The people are as a rule educated, earnest, honest and able. It is not necessary and it would not be just to speak of them aa bettor or worse than other Brook lynites. They form a constituency of which any man might be proud. As a rule these people have been careful of their representation in Congress. Henry W.

Slocum, the peer of any hero who helped save the Republio to unity and to give it a now baptism into manhood freedom and suffrage, has represented the Third District in Congress. The people choso him over a Republican adventurer and jobbor. Stewart L. Woodford, S. B.

Chittenden and DaTwin R. James have represented it. They are honorable men of distinct, though differing, talents. They were members of Congress, whose success inflicted no mortification on tho district or on Brooklyn. Mr.

Chittenden was elected tho first time over a Republican whose nomination waB accepted as a reflection on the pride and intelligence of tho district and ns a proof of the miscarriage of the rightful intents of party politics. This year the Congressional situation in the Third District is peculiar. A citizen not a resident of the district has been nominated, though in a city so compact and homogeneous as Brooklyn that is an objection which goes mor6 to sentiment than to substance. Tho nomination of that citizen, however, has profoundly displeased a considerable number of tho Republicans of that Republican district for reasons that can be stated frankly and forcibly, without rocourse to reproachful language. Mr.

White is disliked and distrusted by these objecting Republicans on account of himself and on account of the influences which triumphed in his nomination. Thoy do not liko Mr. White. They declare that ho has, though a man of brains and culture, always voluntarily and vigorously stood for raukly corrupt and distinctly reactionary tendencies in State and national Republicanism. They insist that his nomination, as they maintain, is an advertisement of tho preliminary Buccess, not of merit, but of money in politics.

Thoy aver that his business as a speculator is what ho de sires to build up on tho prestige and position of a Congressman and that that business ramifies into what is of bad repute in Wall street and into the railway and othor rings that are indistinguishable from politics in its worst sense in both parties. His nomination, though a disposition kindly to construe it at first existed, hns undoubtedly given grave offense to the Conscience Republicans of the district, especially as it signifies the revival, and aB his election would signify the rehabilitation, of a leadership in Brooklyn Republicanism, to whicn a largo portion of the party is opposed for reasons not necessary to detail now. The pride and indignation of a decisive number of Republicans in the district have led them to revolt against the nomination of Mr. White. They do not like him.

They do not like his nomination. They do not like what his nomination means. They do not like what his election would mean. They are willing to co operate in an effort to show that the district can elect a citizen of its own, whose success would be a viotory of pragres. sive, intelligent and straightforward politics, which would, on the one hand, truly repre.

sent the district, and, on tho other, emanci pate Republicanism itself from the evils from which it ought, in their judgment, to be freed. Of this feeling the Democracy should take notice. With reference to it the Democracy should act wisely at their convention next Monday night. Tho nomination of a high minded, reform and able Democrat is contemplated and should be effected. His candidacy would carry an appeal to Conscience Republicans in an off year, for the members chosen now have only to servo out the last half of a Federal ad ministration without reference to the expres sion of the people on national issues in 1888.

To the success of such a Democrat as can and ought to be nominated the olass of Republicans to whom we refor are ready to lend their best efforts, because thoy believe Mr. White is and stands for an embodiment of ob jeotionable facts, methods and tendencies that should never be indorsed by the suffrage of the district. An Attempted Canadian Undercut. Our friends the Canadians, in their pro found disgust at the attempts which have been made ever since 1866 nndor successive Republican Administrations to isolate them from the trade of this continent, have fre quently threatened to retaliate by meeting us in foreign markets and competing with our produots there. They have already done this in somo measure by thoir exports of grain, cattle, cheese and other agricultural products to Great Britain and by the strenuous efforts they have made to cultivate their trade with France and Spain.

But the latest development of their peculiar activity is still more remarkable, coming, as it does, in the shape of a bold effort to capture the trade with Australia which we now enjoy. Our trade with Australia has sprung up almost wholly since the opening of the Union and Central Pacifio railways. It is a trade which has grown steadily from year to year, and in re speot to whioh our exports have always been largely in excess of our imports. In 1870 our trade with Australia amounted to $3,745,539, of which $3,466,575 consisted of exports and $278,964 of imports. In 1880 the trade reached $7,669,402, of which $4,748,590 consisted of oxports and $2,920,812 of imports.

In 1885 we exported $10,648,192 worth of goods to Australia and imported from that country $2,823,393, making a total trade of $13,471,585. Figures like these aro well calculated to rejoice the hearts of those of our political economists who believe in the balance of trade theory, for our ex ports to Australia have been probably from four to five times as great as our imports from it during the series of yoaiB in which the trade has existed. The Canadians now propose to relieve us of the trouble of carrying on this Australian trade, and they have certainly gone about their work in a very systematic way. They have been carefully going over the list of onr exports to Australia, and, their own railway to the Pacific being now completed, they have oome to the conclusion that they oan supply the same articles to the Australians at a cheap er rate than we can. Our leading exports to Australia, taking these alphabetically of whioh we export $100,000 worth or more, are as follows: Breadstuffs, fish, fruits, tobaoco leaf, wood, unmanufactured, books, maps, carriages, horses and cars for steam railroads, $425,000 chem icals and drugs, clocks and watches, iron and steel manufactures, $1, manufactures of leather, musical instruments, oils, $675, 000 plated ware, $130,000 sugar, molasses and oandy, $105,000 manufactures of tobacco, manufactures of wood, $710,000.

TheBe goods to specify them more in detail consist of agricultural implements, axles, axle grease, beer bottles, boilers, blacking, beer ma terials, books, blocks, brass goods, buckets, barrows, brushes, belts, car wheels, carvings, cigarettes, cages, canned goods, corriages, corks, car and car materials, cordage, twine, coal oil, clothing, corsets, drugs, doors and sashes. dredges, electro plate ware, essential oils, dried apples, druggists' wares, emery wheels, olectric goods, fuses, furniture, fruit jars, freezers, felt, ginger ale, gasoline, glue, grindstones, hardware, hoops, household goods, harness, hair, hose carts, hose, India rubber goods, ink, iron lamp goods, lu bricuting oil, leather, cloth, lard oil, lumber, laths, leather waders, manufactures of wood, tobacco, maize and manufactured iron, mar bio, musioal instruments, machinery, lnattross es, nails, oars, oats, oilcloth, oil, murbano, pumps, perfumory, potash, plaster, petroleum, paint, polish, roots and herbs, slate, soap, sewing machines, scales, sugar, soda water, materials, trunks, wnngors, wire goods, whisky, varnish and calcimine. Now tho Canadians make all these articles and thoy think they can sell them to tho Australians more choaply than wo can. Tho Dominion Government has just appointed an. Agent General to go to Australia ti iUi 4 GLADSTONE AND ROSEBERY.

Their Letters Vpon the Opening of the Leith Liberal CInb. London, October 23. The Lelth Liberal Club was opened yesterday. Mr. Gladstone sent an apology for his absence and hearty good wiBhes for the suocesB of the club, adding: "Your club was formed during nn epoch of a dangerous schism whioh every good Liberal must desire to heal.

It is the object of the Tories to keep tho dissension olive by postponing tbo question upon which It arose. I rejoice to see Lord Monck, a dissenting Liberal, Buggosting a rapprochement. hope he will continue his patriotic labors." The Earl of Aberdeen delivered an earnest address, in the course of whioh he asked his country. men to consider whether the time has not come to show tbat our policy toward often saddened Ireland is not one of peace, appealing to the best elds of hu man nature Away," he said, with the notion that that polloy is a base surrender to violence. No, it Is a polioy, no matter whioh party carries it, which Is in accord with tho best instincts of the tra ditions of Liberalism." Lord Roseberg, In an apology for his absence wrote: "For tbe present we nre In tbe backwater of the torrent of passion whioh has raged tho greater part of the year.

The government's dealing with foreign affairs will be guided by facts of which we wore unaware, but If they use British Influence In support of liberty and order In the Balkans, firmly maintain the neutrality of tho North American colonies, aim at an amicable settlement of the fishery dispute, thoy will receive the support of all of tbolr countrymen. Their Irish polloy Is still unde veloped. Tbo Liberals, therefore, must endeavor to heal the schism in tbelr ranks. I fear tbe leaders will be able to do little in this direction, but I havo un limited faith in the rank and Hie. If during the Winter they set themselves to discuss without pas sion or prejudice the question dividing us, thoy may solve difficulties that appear more formidable than they really are.

We can do nothing without the Unionists and they can do nothing without us. Both sections will Incur a great responsibility If they allow the party to be permanently broken up without making an effort to prevent lb THE ADMINISTRATION ATTACKED.
