TOE CHEROKEE COMMISSION. FRIDAY EVENING. ACGUST 10, 1883. This Paper lias tlio JLarffost Circulation of any Evening Pnpor Published Jn tlie United Statest Ita valne as an Advertising medium is tUerefforo the party, advocating the abolition of the tax on tobacco and fruit brandies, and favoring tho free coinage of silver, declare that the issues and conditions which confront tho people in Virginia are of immeasurably more importance than Tariff reform or the reduction of Federal taxation, important as i those questions are. In other words, the Democrats of the Old Dominion propose to conduct tho coming contest on the lines pre scribed by the best interests of the State of Virginia.

They mean thereby that the best interests of the State of Virginia demand the overthrow and annihilation of that combination of "abhorrent forces "known as Mahoneism. We wish them God speed. The annals of modern politics afford no instance of anything so repulsive to State pride, to honorable political warfare, to the senso of manly dealing and fair play, as the methods and motives which tho intriguing, unscrupulous little Virginia Maehiavolli represents. The Republican Oiitloolc. The State Republicans have made a sensible choice of the place for holding their convention.

Saratoga, as we pointed out several weeks ago, offers attractions and advantages superior to those of any other town in tho Commonwealth. It is only a question of time when this fact will be recognized by the politicians as a matter of course. Like other people, the party men are disposed to go in for personal comfort. This, they have learned from melancholy experience, is not to be obtained in such remote and eccentric communities as Buffalo. Even at Rochester or Syracuse they would be undertaking a doubtful experiment.

But at the beautiful resort whichhas been selected they know what to expect. There they are sure to find superb hotel accommodations, a fine, bracing atmosphere, and waters which fairly sparkle with health giving properties. If the Saratogiaus would improve thoir situation by erecting a spacious and permanent meeting hall the partisan managers would rarely, if ever, think of directing their footsteps elsewhere. When they becomo convinced that neither the Casino nor the Town Hall fully answers convention purposes it is reasonable to presume that they will accept and act upon tho hint here thrown out. The contest in committee was unexpectedly animated.

It is difficult, however, for the impartial mind to detect any especial factional significance iu tho result of tho balloting. To assume that the vote marks a particular line of factional cleavage is nonsense. The professional organs, with their customary readiness to leap wildly at conclusions which they presume represent the interests of their reapeetivo parties, can bo depended on to construe tho outcome in their own unique fashion. What actually appears from the decision the majority is that the committeemen, left at liberty to indulge their geographical preferences, embraced the opportunity in a straightforward and rational manner. There is nothing astounding in the desire of Senator Hiscock and his friends to locate the convention at Syracuse.

That is Senator Hiscock's homo town. With his neighbors ho would appreciate tho compliment. Of course, if the influence exerted by the Senator were comparable with that which, in tho days of Stalwart ascendency, characterized the rule of Koscoo Conkling, Syracuse would have won. When Mr. Conkling said Utiea, Utica was chosen.

Even Mr. Hiscock's most devoted admirers have not yet placed him on a level with his distinguished predecessor in capacity for leadership. Thero is not much likelihood that thoy will ever be called upon to do so. Whatever disappointment they sustained yesterday is attributable to a geographical or personal reverse rather than a political defeat. Only a fool would infer that Senator Hiscock is one whit stronger or weaker with the Republicans of New York because Saratoga was preferred to Syracuse in the Stato Committee.

The reasonable view to take of the result is that it represents a bit of political by play rather than an incident of consequence to tho fortunes or misfortunes of party or party leaders. be right, but the doing of tho right thing through the wrong agents is a quick and sure way of making this a government of personal powers instoad of co ordinate divisions. In declining to accept a Congressional duty, even from Congress, President Harrison has acted on the line of Democratic principles. President Harrison and the Merchant Marine. Presidont Harrison's vacation in New England has been brought to a close.

It has evidently afforded a great deal of satisfaction to the people of the Eastern States. There has cortainly been no fuss about tho presidential trip, and Mr. Harrison has done nothing to impair the dignity of his position. His speeches have been brief, and if we except tho one delivered at Bath, were of comparatively small moment. At Bath Mr.

Harrison said: My friends, my visit to the State of Maine is altogether disconnected from public affairs. i am not here to day to apeak to you upon any public topic, but only to thank you most sincerely for tho cordial manner in which you havo received me. I cannot, however, leave the.preseneo of these citizens of Bath without assuring tliera that I have a very deep interest in that great industry which built your thriving city and which lias dono so much to promote tho prosperity of our whole people the industry of shipbuilding. Groat applause. In every way that I properly can, whethor as a citizen or as a public orheor, i fllmll endeavor to promote the rebuilding of our American merchant marine and the restoration of that great currying trade which wo once possessed in ev.

ry sea. Cheers. Tho arrangements which havo bean made and the interest which I feci a close inspection of your shipyards forbids that I should speak to you longer. I therefore that yon will allow mo tn thank you again for your cordial interest and to bid you goodby. The promise of the President to do all in his power to "promote the rebuilding of the American merchant marine" will not pass unnoticed, for it comes at a time when some such effort is sorely needed.

It is a fact that during the past twonty years Congress has not taken a single step in the direction of improving the navigation iutorests of the conn try. It has givon millions of acres of land to the railroads, and by tho passage of scores of acts has exerted its power to the utmost to infuse vigor into railroad enterprise, but the very moment the ocean limit has been reached, there the National Legislature seemed to think its duty and responsibility ceased. With the steady decline of our merchant carrying trade tho public is only too familiar. According to a recent report of tho United States Bureau of Statistics, giving tho imports and exports for tho twelve mouths ending Juno 30, 1839, tho total number of tons of merchandise imported into and exported from this country was 19,787,000. At an estimate of $10 per ton the sum paid for freight would be $197,787,000.

American vessels carried but M.V per cent, of the total tonnage, and whilo the enormous sum of 169,178,850 has been paid to foreign ship owners, American owners have received only tho comparatively trilling amount of 26,091,150. Figures like these must bo as familiar to the President as they are to every one who has given attention to tho subject, and it will be interesting to know precisely what remedy the Executive will suggest when he comes to write his message to Congress. It certainly must occur to him that there is something humorous in tho idea of spending millions of dollars on a navy when we have no commerce for that navy to protect. If he agrees with Mr. Blaine and Mi Frye, and other leaders of his party, ho will, of course, come out strongly in favor of the bounty principle, taking thoground that we can never restore our merchant shipping by making the nation tributary to Great Britain in the senso of going to the Clyde.

Such a policy, it might be argued, looks to the permanent dependence of this country on England for cm ships. And by way tickling the "laborer" Mr. Harrison and his associate statesmen might, for amusement, find it easy to demonstrate that in a vessel costing half a million, the real value of the raw material would not amount to more than a few hundred dollars. Well in its eagerness to help tho work ingman" that useful person who is invariably on hand when demagogues have schemes to promote the Republican party has had ample opportunity to show what it can do. It has dono nothing.

The workiugman" is still waiting for a job. If ws have no shipyards it is presumably because ship building does not pay, and the reason it docs not pay is because competition with other nations is impossible, so long as the cost of the raw material is so enormously enhanced by the tariff, Mr. Blaine and his fellow statesmen to the contrary notwithstanding. If tho laws denying Amer consequence of Terry's threats, that when it became necessary for a judge of the Supreme Court to adopt such precautions "it would be time to close the courts altogether and to permit society to revert to barbarism." There is more natural indignation than philosophy in the answer. His words are appropriate when applied to society as it ia in Massachusetts or New York or the District of Columbia, but they are not appropriate when applied to society as it is known to be in many communities beyond the Mississippi.

If the judge's circuit embraces a territory whore the inhabitants do not observe the restraints of polished circles he cannot reason ably disregard the fact. It may seem scandalous that a magistrate is obliged to carry a pistol in self defense, but if ho willfuUy invades regions which civilization has not completely subjected he must take tho consequences and not lay the blame on civilization. The extinction of Terry will facilitate tho subjection of California, and it is the hope of his countrymen that the judge will live to see it. Racing at Sea. The esteemed Sun says that nothing like it was ever known that is, like the recent contest between the Teutonic and the City of New York It was a race three thousand milOB lone between marvelous specimens of the shipbuilder's art, during which, for many hours at a stretch and on different days, tho ships were in night of each other, with their docks thronged with passengers half wild with excitement, while each ship was driven to hor utmost capacity, and no ono could tell whether this or that would take tho lead.

It would bo interesting to know just what were the feelings of the passengers, what was tho cause of the "excitement" with which they were "half wild." Probably the managers of the AVhito Star and Inman lines will cut out and carefully preservo this passage from tho Sun, and will upon it found their defense against any charge of running risks in rivalries of speed. The passengers enjoy it. Public opinion approves it. The people insist that if it is posaiblo to cut down tho run to Europe even by fifteen minutes the reduction shall be made at whatever hazard, they will say. This i3 iu substance what used to be said in tho old reckless steamboating days.

A terrible story of the roasting and scalding of men, women and children would come one day from the Mississippi but the very next day passengers on another river packet would assist in throwing pine knots into tho fire in order to pass the opposition boat. At least so it used to be alleged, and no doubt with some truth. Thero is a natural, human dislike to be beaten. Tho stories of eager offers to sit upon the safety valve in an 'emergency wero not without foundation. Many years ago when tire late George Law, trying conclusions with the late Cornelius Vandorbilt from New York to Sing Sing and back, ordered tho woodwork of the cabins of tho Oregon to be torn out and cast into tho furnaces in order to keep her ahead of the Commodore's namesako citizens said he did just tho right thing and that they would have dono it themselves if thoy had been there.

Nevertheless even in those days the popular sentiment in favor of putting lives and limbs in peril in unprofitable struggles of this sort was overrated. What there was of it no longer exists, at least in this part of the country. Racing on the Hudson River is now unheard of. Several years ago thero was much discussion among travelers as to the comparative speed of the fast boats of two lines, and on the journey between New York aud Albany or between New York nnd Ron dout the air was often thick with offers to "bet." But tho respective owners, though confident of the capacity of their craft, declined to make a match, even after the end of the season and without passengers. They justly estimated public opinion.

They knew that a reputation for racing at any time would hurt their business more than tho "fastest" notoriety would help it. Tlio same force of public opinion compelled salutary interference by federal law to prevent dangerous contests by prescribing under penalties the safe limit of steam pressure on boilers. But oven if a tolerant opinion, all tho force attributed to it, still prevailed it would not excuse the carelessness of carrying companies. There are persons who will jump from a ferryboat before it touches the bridgo or board a moving elevated car in order to save a few minutes. To restrain them chains and gates are provided.

That is to say, common carriers must not only make their conveyances safe for alert and sonsiblo passengers, but they must protect tho thoughtless and foolish against themselves. Hence guards, railings, notices aud warnings and defenses of all sorts.

New Obleans, August 15. The Times Democrat's Lafayette special says: "Every available seat, as well as all tho standing room, in tho court house was occupied to day by persona anxious to witness tho closing scenes in the preliminary trial of the Regulators, charged with murder, jail breaking and resisting tho sheriff. Tho case has been in progress since Monday last. Attorney General Rogers stated that the Stato had failed to make out a case againBt Antolo Breaux and Ferdinand Broussard and requested that they be discharged. This was done and three others admitted to bail in $500 each and tho others, fourteen in number, were committed without bail.

What Was Said and Thonpfut or General Bonlansor Bofore His Trial Electoral Defeat of His Followers A Uevioyof tlie Tote. Corrcspondonco of tho Eagle. Paiiis, August 2.

Anothor contingent of BrOolclvnites, Mr. Francis Fischer Powors with a number of frionds, has arrived from Londou, aud is doing the exposition previous to going to Switzerland and Beyrouth. This gentloman is a porfect magnet for attracting Brooklynitea and Now Yorkers, and last evoning ho gathered quite a number to a very pleasant social entertainment. Dr. and Mrs.

Jarvio and Miss Whitacro were present. Misa Whitacre kindly consented to. sing soveral songs, which irsro heartily applauded by hor frionds, some of whom had not hoard hor siuco bIio left Brooklyn. Lads and misses who oxpect to constituto socioty in tho now generation must all study tho French language very seriously if thoy don't wish some of their companions to put thorn to shamo with superior knowle of that tongue. I had a fow moments' conversation with the yonngor of tho two Misses Boono, aud I was surprised at tho pro ficieucy alio has attained in tho language in a year's study in ouo of tho pensions of Paris.

Mrs. W. C. Boono and her two daughters, after summering in Switzerland, will probably remain another yoar in Paris. Dr.

W. C. Boono joinod his family about two months ago. Ho rofused official duties at tho exposition to travel all over Italy and Austria with his wifo and daughters. What a fine voico Mr.

Powers has, and what a pity the attractions of Brooklyn aro so great that lie has no desire to mako use of it on the stage. He could complete tho trio with the two brothers do Ro.tykos with his fine voice and fine appearance. Among othor Bongs he very effectively sang was "At Night," a ballad composed by Frank F. S.mthwick, wlio played tho accompaniment on the piano. Miss Mario Nau sang a fow French songs.

Sho was warmly applandod by Professor Shriglia, who wondered why with such a voice sho had left tho stage. Mr. Arthur D. Woodruff, of Now York, also gave us nomo music. How much musio is now being cultivated in America.

It is making, rapid strides in the cultivation and perfection of all arts. Europe will soon havo to look to her laurels if she doon not want to bo surpassed by her younger family so happily transplanted in a grand country of its own. Providence for tho moment, smiles on the Republic. Nothing in tho country was ever looked upon with so much favor as tho Exposition. Tho very heavens seem to have mado a compact to bestow plenteous sunshine, which, when needed, is tempered with refreshing breezes and tlio heavens senni also to have agreed to moisten tho dry earth with nocturnal showers, so they will not interfere with tlie pleasures of tho revelers.

The French are gathering in tho shekels of tho stranger, and the stranger is getting tho worth of hia money, with a lot of onjoyniont thrown into tho bargain. But in this pleasant lull of dis agreeablos the republic does not go to sloop; it keeps an eyo to business aud if misfortuno loves company good fortune, to; often cornea attende Tho businoss on the tapis, during tho Exposition, was to convince the nation that the country was all right without the presence and prestige of General Boulanger Mister Boulanger, as tho Republican sheets aro nloasod to call him. Tho Bepublic has just scored a victory, Boulanger has been moreileasly beaton in the oloctions of gouoral conncilmen; beaten with the additional disgrace of previous fanfaronades which declared that under no conditions would he accept to bo elected in more than eighty cantons, as that would be sufficient to prove that ho still lived in tho hearts of his countrymen. Not one more canton could he be persuaded to take; tho natives could go on its knees to him, ho would not iold; ho was iuoxorablo. Such waa hia declaration.

In petto, no doubt, ho believed tho nation would disobey his orders, would elect him in a greater number of cantons and doclaro that love was tho oxcuso for tho disobodionco. Tho 15oulangists thomsolves wero obliged to confess tho defeat. Thoy only carrio 1 twelve cantons And the Republic was victorious in an overwhelming majority of cantons, to the exclusion of Royalists and Imperialists, as well as ISou hutgists. Boulanger now blames his party for tho defeat. After it happenod it was oasy to scu how and why it happened.

Thoso elections havo not tho national character that the general legislative ones will have in October. The nation hero wants men who are versed in local politics and affairs, who aro residents of tho cautonB. and thoy have no direct bearing with central government. It is a great uity Boulangista did not give those excuses before and did not keep still until it was time to act. They are now singing the song of the fox aud the sour grapes, for previous to tho elections tho Boulangists papers woro loud with expectation.

Tho I'ress declared that the results would surpabs nil hopes, that tho majority on all the lines would bo formidable and would be tho prelude of tho final victory in tho next elections. Tho (faulots affirmed that election day would be a sad 0110 for tho presont government, and Paul Cassagnac's paper, up to tlie last minuto declared that tlio returns of tho eighty cantons were in favor of Boulanger, and more in favor would bo heard from. Aa crowing is the chief occupation of thoso Bonlangist papers, they havo beon insupportably dull since the returns of tho oleotiouB. They dare not mako war on Tnrquot, who has been tlio instigator of this disastrous campaign, bocauso ho may bo moro fortunate next time, and they can't afford, under presont pressure to loso an active man; therefore there is nothing to mako a noiso about. Boulanger qnorulously says no ono can expect a man to knead the dough when he is at such a distance from the trough.

So thought tho government, and therein lios its wisdom in having pushed the turbulent general into voluntary exile. However, with a man who several times has sunk aB doep and has victoriously sprung up again ono should not como to a hasty conclusion. defeat is probably not the stono which will Bink him for good. As a few of his party havo said, thoy have taken too long a reBt. It is only with incessant work that Boulaneor has boon forced into tho favor of tho people, and tho indefatigable workers have phiymi the lazy courtiers too long around his majesty in London.

Tho defeat will bo a profitable lesson, and will spur thorn with activity for tho moro dceisivo elections. It may also havo another good result. Tho Fronch, just for tho pleasure of helping tlio under dog, may turn round and vote for Boulanger in a spirit of opposition and retaliation. Tho papers which uphold tho Republic are doing all they can to bring that effect about with their loud rejoicings ovor the victory. The French Times, the most dignified and gravo paper in tho country, has, to proclaim victory, fallen in tho rank of those who deal with exclamation points.

In a long article 011 the subject it Bays: "Tho partial plebiscite on which tho onomies of the republic has founded bo much hope has onded in a miserable abortion. It plainly tells which way tho wind blows. Tho would bo dictator is beaten aud in somo places with a ridiculous minority. He failed in largo industrial cities, Bnch as Marseilles, Havre, Rouen, Limoges, Rhcims, etc. lie failed in Vancluse, which was reputed to bo a boehivo of BoulangiBiu: and, what is moro telling, ho failed in the Pny do.

Dame, whero ho was acclaimed, in Charonto In ferienco and in the Nord, where he was twice elected deputy. The elections were a dead failure, notwithstanding tho zeal, tho incesBant, passionato collaborations of Mr. Boulanger's lieutenants, of all tlio conservative chiefs and of all the experienced agents sent to all points of tho country with packs of placards, bulletins, programmes, portraits and songs. Think of it! Think of tho immense effort, and thou you aro able to measure the cruel deooption of tho party. It solemnly announced that it presented it Belf in eighty cantons only; then, to be sure of bucccss, it made electioneering campaigns in 500, and then collected votes in about only one fourth of tho so.

This is not only humiliating bnt ridiculous. It is not a defeat but a min. Tho party cannot prove that this election means nothing, that district elections do not forotcli what central political elections will be, and to know what aro the political sentimentb one mnstwait for legislative oloctions. Our adversaries have dono everything which puts that ex cuse to naught. They declared before the event that the country would find means to pronounce against ua and for them.

Woll, tho country has pronounced its verdict, and it has repudiated thoao who considered themselves already ita maatera. No eloquont artifico will diminish the authority of this Boveroign verdict. Tho defeat is nono tho less completo for the Conservatives. Thoy at last perceive they havo irremediably compromised their cause. You know what their declaration of faith was just beforo going to the polls.

They avowod that Boulangists were not the allies who suited them at all. Indeed they openly declared that the majority of them wero less than rocommend uble, but that they had joined tho party because they were helpless without it. Thoy must have a majority of votes to ruin tho presenfcgovornmont; they would get it by moans of the Boulangists, then thoy would see what was to bo dono after. What has become of those calculations which imply the capitulations of so many consciences Boulangists wero to infuse a new lifo to reaction, and bohold it brings tho gorms of death. Mon archists aro now aware that thoy aro tied to a corpse." Emma Bullet.

A RAILROAD COMPANY INCORPORATED. Portland, August 1 0. Articles of incorporation wero filed here yesterday by Chester W. Collins, John D. KiJpatriek, W.

n. Kilpatrick, John H. Smith, E. T. Johnson, LeeHoffniau and Emil Adlor, incorporating tho Portland and Puget Sound Railroad Company.

The capital stock is fixed at $5,000,000, divided into 50,000 shares. The object of tho corporation is to construct and equip a railroad and tole graph lino from Portland to Seattle, W. with soveral branch lines. Ono of tho branches is to extond to Gray's Harbor aud tho other to Port Towusoud. T'iio company is also empowered to purchase, lease, operate and maint ain railroad branches and tolegraph lines, also to purchase real ostato, build docks, piors, hotels, warehouses, borrow money and issue bonds.

It is claimed that tho company purposo3 to proceed to activo operations without delay. Articles of incorporation wero also filod yesterday by tho company for tho construction of a bridge across tho Columbia River at a point near Vancouver. The capital stock iB fixed at $2,000,000.

London, August 16. Americans who have watohed the futile attempts to introduce tho co oporativo principle in their own country and who have seen co operative workshops in difforent branches of industry, one after another, started only to languish and die, can scarcely conceivo the rapid Btrides tho principle is making in England. Indeed there aro few Englishmen who will not be surprised at tho magnificent displai'i when the exhibition of co operativo products iB thrown open at the Crystal Palace to morrow.

Tho high standard of oxcollence attained in the work exhibited ought not to bo surprising when it is understood that only the best artisans and tho most intelligent can take part in these co operativo movements, but that no less than 1,000 separate establishments, organized on this principle, should bo represented must bo startling to thoso who havo been speaking of co operation as still an experiment. These establishments, Borne of them very extensive and employing capital to the amount of many thousands of pounds, are on gaged in nearly two hundred distinct trades and occupations, and aro already dangerous competitors of tho individual enterprises. Tho exhibition, by opening the eyes of wbrkingmon themselves to what has been accomplished and what may bo accomplished by co operation, is expected to give an immonse impotus to tho movement. Thero is a growing feeling among the better class of social reformers in England that tho futuro of the wage workers and their rescue from their presont intolerable condition must come through co operation, and as this feeling spreads among tho workincmen thomsolves, the doctrines of socialism, revolution aud anarchy I030 their charm. A festival of labor will bo hold in connection with tho oxhibition, at which 500 will be distributed in prizes to workmen.

Anothor feature will bo a concert of 5,000 voices. The French press takos no pains to conceal its tempor over tho love feast betv. eou the two Emperors at Berlin, and tho Triple Alliance is pleasantly referred to as a club which these two bloodthirBty nionarchs hold ovor the head of La Belle Franco. The Parisian populaco have worked thomselves up ovor this incidont to such a pitch that everybody in Faris was ready to shouldor a musket yesterday, when a rumor gained cnrroncy that William and Francis Joseph wero about to visit Alsaeo together. Even M.

Spuilcr, tho French Minister of Foroign Affairs, lost his head for tho moment and in hot hasto drove to tho German Embassy, where his fears wero soon quieted with tho assurance that there was no foundation for the story INDIAN OUTBREAKS FEARED Ah Hon 11 It of the Chippewa Lands ft'eoliruioiis.

It ia a voluminous document of over two thousand words, the burden of which is a diaouasion of the titlo of tho ontlet. Mayes Bays ho rogrotathat the commissioners' proposition made no allusion to tho legal status of the lands in question, and that moro than one point in tho offer either has no legal ground to support it or else the commissioners had deemed best not to refer to these grounds. Ho saya that tho term outlot is nsod unadvisedly by tho commissioners aud that all tho patent lands of tho Chorokoes arc known by both the Cherokeo people and by tho United States treaties as the Cherokee Country.

Mayes saya he would like to have a proposition from tho commissioners that the people can understand. Ho says tho Cherokee constitution de clarea that tho lands of the Cherokeos shall remain common property, and that if the Cherokeo people should deBire to code a part of their lands, an amendment to tho Cherokeo constitution would be necessary. The commissioners' proposition will be submitted to tho council at its session in Novomber next. Ho says that matters would not bo hastened by calling tho council in extra session at this time, ns no action could bo possibly had until tho council following the general election in August, 1801. In conclusion he says tho Cherokeo people tako it for grantod that Congress will not legislate against the Cherokeos in the interest of citizens who desire to despoil them of their rights, and the Chorokoo people trust th.it thoir weaknoas as a people will not encourage tho power of tho United Statos to enact legislation looking to that end.

The Eagle does not perceive the justice Of Mayor Grant's upon Mayor Chapin because tho latter failed to impress upon the former the claim of Brooklyn to consideration in tlio matter of tlio committees on the World's Fair. Brooklyn has 800,000 people and nearly $500,000,000 of taxable property. One third of the business men of New York are computed to live hero. The ratio of the growth of thi3 city is equal, if not superior, to that of tho metropolis. These are facts known to the Mayor of New York.

If they did not make an appeal to his mind, any special words by Mr. Ohapiu to enforce them on his attention would have been without effect. Moreover, had Mayor Ohapiu received an invitalio!) from Mayor Grant to name to him a suitable list of representative Urooklyn ites to go on tho various committees selected or to form an auxiliary committee with refer once to the Fair, then, doubtless, such an invitation would have been taken into respectful consideration. Mayor Ohapiu did not receive such an invitation. Mayor Grant seems to criticise him for not doing the things which he was not requested to do and which it was not suggested to him that he should do.

Had such an invitation been received it would have required, on Mayor Ghapin's part, that same consultation with interests with individuals in this city that Mayor Grant has had with individuals and interests In the other city to form tho committees that have been made up. Mayor Grant's selections are alike commended and defended by tho fact that he regarded himself largely as tho recipient of nominations from organizations and forces that indicated to him the fittest persons iu their judgment specially to represent them in tlio coming exhibit ion. Mayor Chapin would have been required by prudence, by courtesy and by a sensible desire wisely to employ the power conferred upon him, to have indulged the same policy of consultation which Mayor Grant exercised on his side of the river. Now in order to render Mayor Chapin amenable to the implied criticism of Mayor Grant, our Brooklyn chief magistrate would have had to begin tlie work which Mayor Grant suggests ho could well have performed at the same time that Mayor Grant began his own labor selection in the premises. Ite was, however, neither asked nor authorized to begin it at all.

"Why he was not can readily be seen. Had he been asked, the coming exhibition would have been made a New York and Brooklyn one instoad of a New York one alone. It would have reduced tho agency of Mayor Grant in the matter very materially. He would have been tho coadjutor of Mayor Chapin instead of occupying tho chief place in influence, initiative and mg'ottion that ho he does now. The Eagle doubts that Mayor Grant would have divided the opportunity for legitimate distinction with Mayor Chapin or with anybody else.

We think it in questionable taste to criticise Mayor Chapin now for not co operatiug with Mayor Grant when more than an incidental and formal identification with this movement was not suggested to Mayor Chapin and could not be made out from tho terms of tho invitation he received. The Eagle is not saying that Mayor Grant has not done fairly well the difficult work set before him. We have said that he has done that work well and we still think so. But, if in that work the equal participation or relative representation of Brooklyn was not contemplated, then to intimate now that Mayor Chapin is, in the circumstances, to blame, because of the minor position which this city occupies in the list of committees, is not fair and smacks of disingenuousness. Had Mayor Chapin taken a contrary course, had ho forced himself in where he was neither sent nor invited, a rudeness and a blunder would have been chargeable to him.

and the criticism which would have resulted would have been meritedly severe. Notwithstanding the fact that Brooklyn is inadequately represented in the movement for a World's Fair and notwithstanding tho fact that tho Mayor of the city was regarded in very much tin; same light as the delegate from the Chamber of Commerce, the Maritime Exchange or the Jewelers' Association, there is no jealousy on this side of the river, thero is no desire hero except for tho success of the exhibition and there is no belief here other than the one that it will prove a spectacle of grandeur, a factor of unity 'and progress, a superb pageant commerce and industry and a glorious influence for unity, peace, hope and liberty between tho nations of the world. Brooklyn intends to do her share iu carrying this vision to materialization. Brooklyn expects to reap largely in the benefits resulting from her contiguity to the exhibition and from her activity iu it. No goodness and no greatness, no benefit and no power can accrue to New York City, without this city's enjoyment of the benign consequences.

In a similar way, no prosperity is attained or can be commended by Brooklyn, without New York being vitally a sharer in it. The moral and spiritual, the economic and the domestic unity of tho two cities is as obvious and as significant as their separate political autonomy. The Eagle does not regard Mayor Grant's qualified strictures on Mayor Chapin as timely or deserved, but while repelling them, in the namo of Brooklyn, we would leave no one anywhere in doubt about the earnestness of this city for the success of the project of 1802 or about tho resolution of this city to do all that it can to make that success a fact. a. Itcvival of Virginia Democracy The spirit of the resolutions and the temper of the State convention which met at llicli mond yesterday were the spirit and temper of reanimated and confident Democracy.

In 1884 Mr. Cleveland carried Virginia by a plurality of 0,111. Last Fall his plurality was but 1,539. So narrow an escape from defeat aroused the party leaders to a fitting sense of their duty, enforced an intelligent analysis of the political situation in the fSlate and stimulated the determination to realign and strengthen tho wavering Democratic ranks. The lesson which the E'.

ntucfcv Democrats learned when the po litical fate of Speaker Carlisle trembled in the balance and the fruits which that teaching yielded at tin; recent election of a Stale Treasurer present an object lesson in practical politics which the Virginia canvass is plainly destined to repeat. Philip Y. McKinney. who measured lances with Mahouc's candidate for Attorney General in 1881 and was Riilioiv 'd, is nominated to succeed Governor Fitzliugh Lee. He enjoys the reputation of being the most brilliant lawyer at the bar of tho southern section of the Suite.

popularity is unbounded, and it wiii prove especially effectual in the region from which Mahoue expected to derive his chief support The Richmond Ditpatch describes Mc Kinncy as an unselfish patriot, a pure minded citizen and a skillful politician. He is a comparatively young man and will lend to the campaign all the resources of his eloquence and all the. charm of his captivating personality. His associates on Ww. ticket are fittingly selected to share the fortunes of the battle with him, and the enthusiasm which the noni nations evoke is significant of the responses to be made to them at the polls.

The resolutions, while indorsing the principles enunciated in the national platforms of To say this much does not imply that neither discontent nor division exist3 within State Republicanism. Exactly the contrary is the truth. There is discontent, widespread and deep seated, with the inaction the Federal Administration. It is, to be sure, more pronounced among the activo politicians of tho party than in tho voting masses. Nothing has been more clearly demonstrated by experience than that these same politicians, however much they may be berated or derided, cannot be profitably ignored.

Mr. Hayes, in tho presidency, tried the experiment. He lived to see one of their number in tho Governorship of this Commonwealth and another in tlie presidential chair. At this stage of restored Republican supremacy, when the partisans of Republicanism are suffering from the results of fo'ir years of enforced banishment from the Federal fleshpots, tho difficulty of dealing with i hem is even greater than it was when Haves and John Sherman undertook tho hazardous responsibility of antagonizing Conkling, Arthur and Cornell. Consequently, no matter how much readiness to accede to their demands the President may hereafter show, signs of dissatisfaction can bo expected to crop out in every direction.

As to factional divisions their source is easily traceable. Tho seat of irritation is not between Senator Piatt and Senator Hiscock, as some of our contemporaries assume, but between the triple alliance of Piatt, Hiscock and Morton on the one hand and tho followers of Warner Miller on tho other. Composition of this division, in the exigencies of a presidential campaign, was only temporary. If Mr. Miller had been successful in his Gubernatorial candidature matters might liavo been different.

There is something peculiarly disagreeable, howovor, in falling "outside tho breastworks" and then being permitted to lio there neglected by triumphant and dominant comrades. Despite his repeated reverses Mr. Miller is a power iu the Republican polities of this State. Thoy reckon ill who leave him out of their calculations. His hold on the rural voters is so unmistakable that his factional adversaries cannot fail to look upon his attitude with grave concern.

They count, no doubt, on his continued acquiescence in the mandates of others. But what if the worm should turn There would be music then by the full band, not only in the State, but in the legislative districts. The situation offers peculiar facilities, not for getting together," but for "getting even." Perhaps Mr. Miller will bo drafted into aggressive support of tho ticket. But what does that signify Even if he should take the stump for it, or personally appeal for tho election of Piatt men in the senatorial districts, it docs not necessarily follow that his adherents would respond.

Everything points, on the contrary, to an excursion of retaliation in Republicanism which will make the Democratic Stato canvass a holiday parade. We observe, in this relation, that the Republican organs signalize the opening of the campaign with many expressions of confidence. Was the peculiar profession of organ grinding ever pursued under 'more trying circumstances? I readers were dependent for information on the gentlemen who assume to manufacture party sentiment or to "create an atmosphere" favorable to party candidates thev would bo as much in the dark as the Five Foolish Virgins. Happily, through the anorganic press tho public are enabled to obtain the dispassionate and accurate reports of political movements which enable them to form an intelligent estimate on their own account. It is for this, among other reasons, that Republicans and Democrats alike look on tho Eagle as the only disinterested guide, philosopher and friend that they have iu tho third city of tho Union.

lie Docs Right. It is announcod that President Harrison has declined to order the extension of tho Civil Service examination rules to the cases of employes of the Census Bureau. The power he has been asked to exercise ought to be one of legislation only. An executive act changing tho relation of thousands of Government employes to the public service is not the Eagle's idea of what Presidents should do or are for. This is an excellent Government, in proportion ns it is a government of laws and not of men.

Tho Civil Sen ice Reform law largely devolves legislative power on executive decree. To that extent it is a law obnoxious to tho spirit of tho Constitution. The thing proposed to be done may ican registry to vessels purchased abroad are really calculated to stimulate "home industry" is it not somewhat remarkable that the stiuiulativo process has been so long in asserting itself Tho growth of tho merchant marine of France and Italy and all other countries which are at liberty to buy ships where they desire is sufficient proof of the absurdity of tho system under which we labor. The only inference to be drawn from Mr. Harrison's speech is that ho is of the opinion that Pension Commissioner Tanner is not getting rid of tho surplus fast enough.

So he will presumably take occasion to "point with pride" to tho condition of England's Maritime Commerce as illustrative of the advantages of the bounty principle, entirely ignoring the fact that England long ago abandoned that policy, and does not pay a cent of bounty to day. On the assumption that tho surplus is a nuisance this is, perhaps, as good a way as any of dealing with the problem. But it is not the right way, by any means. New Jersey All Biffin. Leon Abbott is likely to be the Democratic candidato for Governor of New Jersey this year.

He was Governor beforo and his administration was ouo of marked vigor. He directly made the many friends and indirectly the fow enemies which a strong and successful man generally enters to his account. The Republicans are represented ns hoping he will be nominated. Thoy aro roported as saying that thoy feel able to boat him with a "railroad man." Tlio reliance of the Republican party on corporations has nearly always been a fact. Tho fact, howover, has generally been denied, by a course which put policy above truth.

The omission to deny it any more is a sign of tho times. There need bo no anxiety about Governor Abbott's election. Ho has a habit of winning. New Jersey has a habit electing Democratic' Governors. Served Him Kiglit.

The verdict of American public opinion in respect to the shooting of ox Judge Terry is that he got exactly what ho deserved. It is scandalous that tho conditions which made tho deed possible should exist in a civilized ago and community, but the regret which the scandal inspires is swallowed up in the satisfaction at the final exit of a desperado who should havo been dismissed to his last accounting long ago. If tho irrepressible tigress, iu whose fatal attractions and moral depravity the bloody drama had its origin, had received tho bullet which missed Terry, the incident would have completed the retributive justico of the expiation. Tho circumstances of tho trage dy present a case which is not to bo judged by the usual standards. The coroner's jury found that David S.

Terry died by the hand of Deputy Marshal Nagle, but no petit jury that could be summoned within the confines of civilized society would hold Nagle accountable to tho law as for the commission of a crime. It is tho universal sense that he performed an act of justice, although he may have violated the statute iu doing it. If there is any reproach to the community it lies in the fact that tho Attorney General of the United States found it necessary to detail an officer to protect the lifo of a judge of the highest tribunal in the laud. But we shall not take that reproach very severely to heart. It is not the fault of out age or of our civilization that semi barbarous notions and practices still prevail in the rude communities cf tho West aud Southwest.

It is only their misfortune. We are no more responsible for it than we are for any othor failure to push the car of progress faster than it will go. Some earlier Columbus than Christopher ought to have discovered America, hut he didn't, and the fact gives nobody much distress. We can't expect to find the refinement, the polish and the law abiding spirit of the East hi frontier circles until the people there are ready for the change, and we can't change them by an act of Congress, or newspaper lamentations, or moral homilies. The world advances in obedience to Rogue Ridcrhood's motto of Easy does it, Guv'ner." Justico Field is reported to have answered the Mends who urged Lira to arai himself, in The principle of courso applies to ocean as well as inland navigation.

There is a wide and lively interest in the improvement of traveling facilities between the New World and the Old, and tho advent aud achievements of every magnificent steamship added to the Atlantic fleet are closely watched. But it is a mistake to suppose that Americans going abroad are eager to plunge madly into a fog at the risk of encountering another vessel or an iceberg, or to disregard all weather conditions, iu a frantic effort to cross in half an hour less timo than ever before. The managers are well aware of this, because they are prompt to deny that thero has been a race or an intention to race. Whether tho Teutonic and tho City of New York wero racing is a question of fact, but, until further evidence is secured, it would be discourteous to reject the testimony of the esteemed Sim. It is not likely that there was a formally agreed upon race, but that was not necessary.

Neither in these days of record breaking and efforts that way is it necessary that tho ships shall bo in sight of each other on the voyage or shall start in the same week. A race against time may involve equal danger with a run for a purse. It is well to break tho record, but in doing so owners should wisely conform to all the rules of safety or their customers will incline to prefer the steady and trustworthy ten day steamships. Tho actual operation of the Fifth Avenue Elevated Railroad as far as Twenty fifth street. Greenwood, is a new step in rapid transit advance, and a long one.

The fact that yesterday's opening was quiet and informal does not detract in the slightest from its importance. It brings a new territory within easy reach of the business centers of the cities and will contribute to the growth of Brooklyn. It is an extension of the system which has already promoted and will promote still more signally the upbuilding of the city. Mr. Edward Fveel is a lucky man.

nis "pull" in the Board of Supervisors is mightier even than that of Grcany. Yesterday the Board awarded to him the contract for building a retaining wall at St. Johnland. The wall is intended to surround a reservoir constructed on the County Farm by Mr. Frccl.

That reservoir without the wall is a tiling fearfully and wonderfully made. Whether it will hold water after the wnll is constructed is not nearly so certain as that Mr. Freel is prepared to exact from tho county the last farthing "nominated in the bond." Froel, as we have hitherto remarked, i3 a costly luxury. comes high, but the people roust havo him. So, at least, tho Supervisors appear to think.

And who, pray, are more devoted to tho people, particularly about election time, than these same Supervisors Mr. John B. Green is now spoken of as a possible Republican candidate for Mayor. No proof exists to indicate that Mr. Green is after the nomination.

Thrifty patriots, however, may be after Mr. Green. He could do worse than to invite Andrew D. Baird, Isaac S. Catlin, Seth Low, Franklin Woodruff, John F.

Henry, Frederick A. Schroeder, Dwight Johnson and other Republican mayoral candidates of the past to meet him in social caucus. hindsight might increase his foresight. An articlo on the disposal of tho dead by desiccation, republished on pago 3 of to day's Eagle from the Brooklyn Medical Journal, will not fail to attract attention. Tho genesis and perseverance of humor are illustrated in a paragraph copied yesterday from tho GrapMo.
