A COLORED CORRESPONDENTS VIEWS On the Republican and Democratie Parties and Tbeir Principles. To the Editor ef the Brooklyn Eagle: Permit me through your valuable paper to give an expression on the matter of tariff reduction. I cannot conceive how anyone after fairly reasoning the matter and putting aside nil pollti. cal prejudlco fails to see tbe benefits to be derived from a reductios of the tariff and the privations they are now Buffering and will continue to suffer by tariff. For example take a suit ot clothing mado from imported goods whloh cost about $40 under the present tariff.

Would it not oo a fact that the same suit, uuder a reduction of tho tariff, could bo sold at a much lower figure ana at the same time give the vender the same profits realized under a high tariff, while of more advance to he purchaser? We would then be enabled to get imported goods, instead of that of home manufacture. The greater nan a. exouae on either side for, a mere personal canvass and welcomes the opportunity for a campaign conducted on an issue of politioal economy: Mr. Harrison has served a term In the United Statea Senate. He shewed himself there, aa in the politics of his State, a vigilant and keen, and indeed a rather bitter partisan; a thorough going high tariff Protectionist; a man of strong will, clear headed but somewhat narrow; a party man rather thau a statesman, no represents very accurately the present spirit of his party; Its determination to keep the taxes high and spend the surplus revenaes freely; to resist tariff reform on extreme Protec tionist grounds and to get back into power if It can.

Either Allison or Sherman or McKinley would have stood for a more conservative and lees adventurous administration of the Government than Mr. Harrison. But he is probably a more correct exponent of the present spirit and temper of the Republican leaders than its older statesmen. The Democratic Star is satisfied that with the exception of Blaine Harrison is the man of ail others whom his opponents desired to see nominated. It believes that in his own State he will receive less than the party vote, because "the source nnd inspiration of the Cxresham forces came from Indiana and ex.

pressed the sentiments of the better element of the Republican party." Personally, Harrison represents nothing except a species of aristocratic pretonslon to which the American peoplo do not take kludly, and which be comes especially dangerous when placed at the neau ot the baser elements la politics. The support of tho groat mouopoly corporations will not Impart to the Republican nominee sufficient force iu the campaign to overcome his unpopularity with the masses. Is will not be forgotten that it was railroad influence that seloctod him la preference to Allisen or otuera who were favored by locali ties and influenco inspired by tho popular seDtl ment known aa the Granger spirit. It sums him up in the statement that he is the candidute of the monopoly machine, without running qualities, and the figure head of the reactionary movement against equal rights and the just protection of American labor and civilization. Mr.

Tjobort P. Porter's Press iB hotter than the weather, and pore. There is not a single flaw in its satis faction. All is lovely and ecstatic, and there is going to be an overwhelming majority for the ticket next November." Its opinionB are best expressed in the language with which its leading article concludes Once more. Republicans, let the rights of Ameri can citizens and the protection of American labor bo your watchword.

Let the Stars and Stripes be your symbols, and Tippecanoe and Morton, your soug, and if you don't warm Cleveland and the old bandana the day of patriotism and love of the republic is over. The Hoard of Estimate and the Tra." The octopus though that perhaps is a rather large name for the noisome little gang has thrown one of its grasping arms around the Board of Estimate. The members apparently intend to give just what the Trust wants. Some excitement was caused by ex Mayor Low's timely and pertinent letter. Supervisor at Large Quintard talked quite childishly about it.

"I don't think the oity is under the tutelage of Mr. Low any longer," said he. This is non sense. Wo are supposed to be living in a free country and any citizen has a right to express his opinion on any Bubiect whatever. It is a contradiction of the democratic theory with a little or a big to discourage a taxpayer from submitting his views on taxes to those who levy taxes.

If Mr. Quintard can show that the ex Mayor's lettor is wrong after he has had time to study it," as he intimates a purpose of doing, very well but to find fault with the writing of a communication at all is puerile. Commissioner Adams made the next longest speech, and labored to show that it was impossible to get electric light at lower rates. Mere assertion on the subject is not conclusive. The best way to settle that question is to allow competition.

If Governor Hill had not vetoed the Edison bill we should have found out presently whether the light could not be cheapened. They uBed to say that gas could not be had at lower rates, but Mr. Low shows, by recorded figures, that it was cheap ened by the very plan he now suggests. Afl to the separation of the gas and electric accounts Muyor Chapinsaid: "There is nothing in that point." Well, that depends upon the way you look at it. If you want the "Trust" to do what it pleases, to use all the money from the electrio account, and then to order the capping of a number of gaB lamps and darkening of some parts of the city, so that it may take money from the gas account to pay tor new lamps of its own, or course there is nothing in that point of Mr.

Low's. But if you want to escape tne aiciBti, to hrino the monopoly to terms by strictly uunug its receipts and by using gas as an alternative if necessary, why then instead of saying there is nothing that point of Low's it must be admitted that there is a good deal. But the talk about this convincing letter of a taxpayer was mere foolish fencing. Mr. Quintard really gave tho thing away" when he said: I don't think this Board Bhould assume the duties of the Mayor and Common Council.

It is our duty to appropriate a proper amount oi money, ami it is ior tne Mayor and Common Council to Bee that it is properly expended." Of course turn it over to the Aldermen. This is the effect, because they can easily overrule the Mayor. Turn it over lo the Trust." There will be no competing company, thera will be no official restraint, and the monopoly will continue to make its own terms. Tun Important Decisions. The General Term of the Supreme Court at Poughkoepsie bos confirmed Judge Cullen's recent decision to tho effect that the incorporation of the Union Elevated Railroad Company was valid.

General Tracy raised the point before Judge Cnllen that because the Commissioners did not state exactly where stations were to be located, and because more over they did not specify tho precise height and slants of tho steps (with other incidental omissions), the charter of the road was illegally constituted and was therefore worthless. Judge Cullen met General Tracy on these points, and like the latter made the Story deci sion in the Court of Appeals the basis of his opinion. Unlike ths general, however, he did not com.e to the same conclusion, holding that minor defects were immaterial so long as the main requirements had been complied with. It was while arguing this case that General Tracy said he was willing to stake Wb reputation as a lawyer that the Court of Appeals would sustain his brief. Judge Cullen did not sustain fl Justices Pratt, Barnard and Dykman, of the General Term, have not sustained it.

It remains to be seen whether the Court of Appeals will do 60, and in connection with thiB it should be remembered to the general's advantage that while the Supreme Court and the General Term overthrew the charter of the Kings County Company, the Court of Appeals reversed the decisions of the lower tribunals. General Tracy has still one more chance to win hiB case, but if the appeal to tho court of last resort should fail, he will ba under the painful necessity of asking mankind kindly to forget his hasty prediction. He certainly must have had tho most unlimited confine would not have made a statement so strongly calculated to impress itself on the public mind, for the general is perhaps the first of Brooklyn lawyers and he has himself been a judge of the Court of Appeals. Mr. Richardson also must be disappointed at the General Term's decision.

He has thus far succeeded blocking rapid transit on a route which he desires to reservo exclusively for himself, but is beginning now to find out that he does not possess the title in fee to all the streets of the city. In another legal matter yesterday did not bring good tidings to the adroit Mr. Richardson. Judge Cullen decided that his lease of a franchise from the Culver Company, so called, is invalid. The Court takes the ground that a company possessing a franchise to build a road can relet the road, but cannot relet the franchise.

In other words, the franchise most materialize into a road before the parties holding it are authorized to lease or sell. The point here made is an excellent one. It seems to afford protection against the grossest kind of imposition and fraud. Suppose for example that the Board of Aldermen having for good reasons refused to grant a franchise to a certain company should grant it to another, and the latter shonld then lease it to the organization that had been denied it in the first place. It will be easily seen that it is of the utmost importance to the public that they should be protected against the evil results which would probably attend an indiscriminate transfer of franchises, and in so far as Judge Cullen's decision sems to render more difficult tho schemuig of corporations to obtain privileges to spend a good deal of money.

It is probable he will be credited with spending more than he will, and it is next to certain that his reputation for spendiug it will hurt his party more than what he does spend will help it. Wealth hurts a ticket in the same way that patronage hurts an Administration. The Democratic ticket is a better one than the Republican, respectably efficient as the latter is. Mr. Harrison has had no experience in executive trusts.

All Mr. Cleveland's public experience has been in such trusts. Mr. Harrison has never made Republicanism bet ter or worse. Mr.

Cleveland has made Democ racy much better. With Mr. Thurman Mr.Mor ton is not to be compared. If he makes men think of Mr. Thnrtnun at all, it is because he is so different." There need, however, ba no especial contrasts drawn between the tickets.

Either set of candidates would govern the country honestly and capably. The thing to consider is the platforms, whether there is any reason why the country should vote for a change and whether the progressive tendencies of Clevelandism or juBt what Democraoy signifies, are not to be preferred to the restoration of a party to power whose reactionary postulates would seem to show that in retirement it has not reformed its spirit. These questions the independent voters will decide. Wo are of the opinion that they will postpone the decision, until the account of the two parties shall be fully made up by the presentation of State and local tickets. The strong probability, however, is that they will reaward to Grover Cleveland a trust which he has well discharged and can even better fill a second term than he has during the first.

Opinions of the New YorK Press. In forming an opinion of the character and qualifications of ex Senator Harrison, and in judging ot bin fitacoo to ooupda ior tne Presidency with the remarkable man who now fills the chair of Washington, intelligent people will not permit their minds to be influenced by the extravagant utterances of mere party "organs" on either Bide. They will investigate the facts for themselves, dispassionately study the history of the man's career, weigh well the evidences it affords of his motives and capacity, and be guided by the conclusion thus deliberately formed. All honest Democrats must cheerfully accord him such recognition as his virtues and his record entitle him to. The fact that he is an antagonist should not, and, among right thinking members of the Democratic party will not, avail to rob him of any title he has to the esteem and good will of his fellow citizens.

The great office for which he has been nominated only renders more imporativo the duty of treating him fairly, justly and honorably. In the judgment expressed by the New York papers this morning it is not impossible to detect the influence of the political partialities or prejudices which they have severally manifested during the canvass preceding the nomination. Our esteemed independent and Mugwump neighbor, the Times, which ably and zealously opposed the combination to "draft" Mr. Blaine into the service, reflects in its estimate of the candidate the relief it experiences at the failure of that combination. It declares that the Republican party deserves more credit than it will get." Mr.

Harrison personally it speaks in terms of moderate commendation premising that "he has done worthily such share of public work as has devolved upon him lie was, In the first place, a brave soldier. At Resaca and Peachtree Creek ho won no meager title to military renown. Tiiero, if nowhere else, he has shown himself worthy of his grandsire; In civil life, the record of his service Is confined to the faithful performance of the duties of a minor offlco in Indiana and to a single term in the United States Senate. The eye of curiosity will search the pages of the Record In vain for any evidence that Senator Harrison distinguished himself. It iB an lucouspicuous chronicle, yet we find him, in his few and brief speeches, in the part he bere in running debates, and in his votes acting with evident sincerity according to a usually correct appreciation of the public interest.

Although General Harrison has some local reputation as a political orator, we presume his Republican supporters will have the tact to avoid the subjoct of their candidate's eloquence lost embarrassing reference be made to his to sparing use of that noble gift in the Senate Chamber. Altogether, it an entirely respectable nomination. It will not in eplre the party. It will not Btrike terror iu the hearts of the supporters of Mr. Cleveland quite the aontrary.

It will not through any quality of the candidate, qalck.cn to an unwonted degree the Republican pulse beats. Flaiuly, there is uo magnetism In Mr. Barrlioa. The Sun, which is arming to nBh undo, the banner of Cleveland and Thnrman with an ardor worthy of a soldier Buckled in the creed of Democracy and accustomed from early manhood to the traditions and discipline of the Democratic camp, expresses itself in a characteristically frank and original fashion. "In behalf of the Hon.

Grover Cleveland," it says, "we wish to express unlimited gratitude to the eminent Republican managers of the Chicago convention for the nomimation of the Hon. Benjamin Harrison, instead of the Hon. William McKinley, of Ohio." It evidently believes that this action will cause Mr. Cleveland's star of destiny to blaze forth with new and increased luster, and duly exhilarated by the belief it breaks out with the declaration "The Republicans have set up a second class ticket, respectable but not great. For all of which Brother Cleveland's thanks are hereby duly returned by the Sun, which shines for all.

Great and potent is luck!" In respect to the candidate himself it remarks that General Harrison is a hrst rate lawyer of tho second or third class. Ho has served six years in the United States Senate, where he proved himself a substantial, firm, high minded and independent man. While lots of groat men were voting in favor of the law to exclu ie tho Chinese from tho United States, Harrison voted against it. This shows that he has his own ideas, and is not afraid to act upon them, whether they are popular or not It may now lose him votes in California and Orogon, but It will gain him votes elsewhere. The Tribune is ebullient.

With true "organic" ardor it grasps the crank and grinds out the most inspiring strains. There is scarcely anything that it doos not expect from such a nomination. In a fine burBt of confidence it informs its readers that 'the Republican party has a right to look for a popular uprising not unlike that which swept Martin Van Buren from power in 1810." It affords the following example of how man of commonplace powers may present to the truly organic eye the aspects of a moral hero and aji intellectual giant In hia whole career as soldier and statesman Benjamin Harrison has displayed a sound judg ment, a well balaneed mind and a character of the highest merit He has led no faction, gained no step by denying to any the honors they bad earned, relied not at all upon the arts of the demagogue, and sought no proferment save through the triumph of genuine Republican principles. Not by suddon or sensational surprises, not by startling brilliancy of achievements or false professions of zeal for reform, but by steady force of Intellectual and moral superiority, he has won the profound regard of the peoplo. In private life he is tho sort of person reputable people would bo glad to see in the White House.

A gentleman In the best sense, pure In per sonal character, spotless In conduct, high and hon orable in aims, he is a fitting representative of Re publican principles. Then, as if troubled by the fear that its al lusion to th candidate's "steady force of in been a little too brilliant in coloring, it adds 'but the needs of the nation will be felt in the coming struggle far more than the personality of candidates." The World's opinion is marked by the judicial impartiality becoming an independent journal. It poises the scales with a firm and even hand. It recog nizes General Harrison as a man whose capacity cannot be denied and whose public record is free from reproach. It re gards him as the most available of all the can didates, not because of his own merit, or of his descent from "Old Tippecanoe," but be cause he is one of tho most popular Repub licans in the indispensable and pivotal State of Indiana.

Bat the fatal objection to him is that he represents the ultra Protectionist school, of whose doctrines Mr. Blaine is the most brilliant exponent, While Mr. Harrlssn weald make an honorable and acceptable President, he will be beaten and he ought to be beaten because he represents the Inter ests of the favored few against the Interests of the many; because he stands pledged to a policy of retrogression instead of progression because he is the candidate of a party which would make the war taxes higher and the cost of living greater Instead of reducing taxation by a tariff revision which would lesson the price of articles of necessity. Thus the contest Is not between Mr. Cleveland and General Harrison, but between extreme Proteotion and honest Tariff revision; between a Chinese wall of prohibitory duties and a freer trade with all the world.

The Herald, which is as much at home in the domain of domestic politics as it is in that of the political entanglements of effete European civilizations, plumply pronounces Messrs. Harrison and Morton "upright and honorable It rejoices that there can now be bo neartny oommended. We believe that the decisions in both of the cases here considered are good law. because they appeal to sound sense, and that, after all, is generally thejfinal test. The Federal Bnlldingr Plans.

The Eagle last evening printed the sped fications prepared by the supervising archi tect of the Treasury for the completion of the new federal Building. According to in formation from Washington the supervia ing architect has become weary of the delay which has marked the progress ui ma enterprise ana sees no reason why 1,500 or more men should not be put to work within the next three months. He has at his disposal $1,200,000 so that want of money need not hamper him and if the spec mcaiions ore complied with, the building win, be thinks, be finished and ready for occupancy within one year. All this sounds well. But people who have lived in Brooklyn during the past few years will notice that there is something familiar about the story.

If they smile rather cynic ally when told once more that "work is to be rapidly pushed forward," it is not because they are pessimists by instinct, but because experience has shown that it is advisable to accept such statements with a grain of allowance. They know, for example, that, particularly about election times, it is the custom of the Washington authorities to announce, with great flourish of trumpets, that public interests in certain localities have been too long neglected, and that it is sought, in this war, to impress the guileless mind with the conviction that the country would have gone to the dogs but for the smart and alert 'gentlemen at the national Tf "xii3uc rreret thinks that people here are to be misled at this late day bv elitterino nTA suuiy taken. The truth of the matter is that there are few residents of Brooklyn who are not thoroughly disgusted at the delay which has characterized the work on the Federal struct ure. After waiting twelve years or more to get an appropriation through Congress, we have seen the work retarded by petty Bquabbling with contractors, and by the evident desire of the authorities to be still tinkering at the structure at the beginning of the next century. Perhaps Mr.

Freret. who but recently assumed the position of su pervising architect, is not to be blamed, but he cannot complain if the course of his predecessors has led our people to place little reliance on the assertions emanating from hiB office. It iB to be sincerely hoped that Mr. Freret will hurry up the work. And if the Brooklyn Congressmen find him lagging they can do no better service to their constituents than to impress upon him the fact that promises, when broken, do not prompt the kindliest remembrance on the part of those who have been hoodwinked and deceived.

A Vcrr Unimportant Meeiiutr. Tho meeting of the Board of Aldermen yes terday was unusually unimportant even for our local legislature. The Edison Company submitted a draft of the agreement which it is prepared to make for furnishing electrio light. The public can form its own opinion as to how little is likely to come of the proceeding. Alderman Coffey came out in force on Jefferson avenue paving, accused Alderman Black of concealing a "coon" or a EiGger," told the clerk he was "too fresh," and exhibited himself in other aspects.

But really in this hot weather the people cannot be expected to take more than an extremely languid interest in the movements of this statesman. It was agreed to give a hearing to the two rival companies anxious to build a railroad on Montague street. They have succeeded already in postponing a desirable improvement for some time, and now it goes over at least until October. The resetting of the City Hall flagging was ordered at a cost of $250. Head this From the Brooklyn Dally Eagle (editorial) Mon day, dune lo, 10B8.J It looks ao much like Depew that It may be Ben Harrison.

Ben Harrison it is. Prophecy has become hiitory. Those who have an alacrity to think evil of Mr. Blaine and they are many have good cause to insist that he emerges with discredit from this Chicago business. He did not say once that he neither wanted nor would take the Presidency.

He was always arguing honor, the very thina a man ought not io course tends to establish an estimate of the man which is most unflattering. It is as if he had been revealed as the fallen victim of self over leaping cunning. Moreover, it is time that tho word politician be forever retired from association with the names of Elkins, Manley, Bautollo, Charles E. Smith and the rest of the Blaine gang. A blind cripple could play billiards more successfully than those men could play politics.

The healthiest fact about the Chicago Convention was that, whatever the strength of Blaine might have been at the start, he had a meagre minority for him at the close. The Blaine craze in Republicanism is over. The magnetism nightmare has been cast off by that party. Tho morals of tho party ought to feel that thoir day of emancipation has come. The funniest Bpeech he has made in a long time is that of Chauncey M.

Depew to his fellow grangers," printed in the Eagle today. Mr. Depew, bowevor, is injuring his chances for 1892, by his levity in 1888. HumoristB are not nominated for President. They have a better fate.

They enjoy life and make it better worth living for others. Mr. Depew bore himself with more discretion ond acceptability at Chicago than any other man ever did under like circumstances. The opposition to him by the Republicanism in States peopled with flygobbling clod hoppers was such as to show that the Republicanism of those States is simply uncivilized. As usual, the United States Senate proves to be no place in which to look for Presidential candidates.

Hendricks, Conkling, Bayard, Pendleton, Hawley, Allison, Edmunds, Ingalls, Evarts and Sherman (the last's last time has struck) are names that show that Presidential nominations are not grown in Senatorial soil. There has been a succesful raid in the disreputable region of Coney Island, as reported in yesterday's Eagle. There cannot be too much of this cleansing procesB. It should be repeated until the Beach from end to end is safe and wholesome. In an interview in to day's Eagle Ross Raymond, speaking of the relation of Dr.

Ab bott to Plymouth Church, saya: All who are in opposition go to Mr. Halliday." Then he adds "The truth is there is not the least opposition to Dr. Abbott." The point where these mutually destructive statements agree is Subway Commission have not yet put the electric wires. The truth is there was opposi tion to Dr. Abbott, which the Eagle hopes will abate, for he ie pastor elect and it is good policy to support him, or to leave the church if you can not support him.

The opposition largely arose from tho action and ex istence of the Advisory Committee, a concern hitherto unknown in Plymouth, and one which, having accomplished the call of Dr. Abbott, that astute clerical politician would do well to snuff out. Mr. Blaine rubs the great grandfather and the grandfather matter into his telegram to Harrison, though it it is well known that "the ancestral racket" has done the business for the later Adams, for Bob Lincoln and for Fred Grant. Mr.

Blaine is a blunderer, so uses compliments as to make them do duty as daggers. Maybe that is his way of 'knifing' the ticket. General Harrison Bhould say whether he will, or whether he will not, if elected, make Blaine Secretary of State. The Independents want to know. The campaign clergy has had an early and a dreadful warning, which it is to bo hoped wiU suffice to caution the brethren all (he way down the list and induce them to remember that they are under a particular obligation to at least observe the obvious proprieties of civilized lite.

"Our leader telegraphed for us not to vote any more for hlra," said Chairman Creed Haymond, of the California delegation, last night "After his cable message was received, however, we gave him sixteen vote3 on the first ballot. The order to quit firing wa the order of retreat and to that I am not accustomed.

He believes in the equality of all before the law and in the Declaratiou of Independence as a principle. When the auti Chinese crusade began he and other Republicans applied that principle the Chiuese, but It was a mistaken application. When they discovered that the Chinese never soughi political recognition, but were as separate people In uur midst as if they were la China, then those Republicans opposed their admission to this country aa a matter of principle.

The Democrats declared against the Chinese; to morrow they would declare in their favor if any votes wero to ba gained. "The great question in this country is the protection of American industries and American homes. It la the question of employment for the industrious and food tor the hungry.

According to Count Tolstoi, the Russian Minister of the Interior, tho English wero Induced to make their late Thibetian demonstration not so mujh on account of any real or fancied grievance, as by the reports brought to the Indian officials of wonderfully rich gold discoveries in the mountain ranges on the border. Eugineers havo found sovoral localities, presenting spleudid surface iudications but almost inaccessible aud lacKing water ana fuel to make them available As a rod cloth Is to a bull, ocminues the Count, is any valuable property in the possession of a weaker neighbor to tho Insatiable Englishman. The ruby mines of Burmah, the gold of Venezuela or tbe more hint of nuggets In Thibet will arouso the acquisitiveness of the greody Islander to an un restrainable pitch, provided that the coveted valuables are held by a Power contemptible in strength." It is not probable, however, that China will look on with indifference and allow the English reconolssance to eud In an occupation of Thibetan Territory. The information gained, how ever, may be valuable in the future, aud thus the expedition will not have been altogether valueless. Count Tolstoi considers that the decision of the Russian Govern ment to recruit the artillery and engineer staff excluslvoly from the ra nks of the nobility In the future is a triumphant vindication oi his polioy of granting positions in tho civil service solely to the titled class.

"For years have I pursued this course," Bays Tolstoi, "and in a land like Russia It would be the height of folly to act differently. We are a class apart; we are born to command and those beneath us to obey. The foolish and tho weak among us will drop into the gulf below, but there will always be enough bright spirits to train up to guide our councils and lead our armies to vlctory.Thereare prizes enough for the ambitious minds of the middle claBBes. Let them become bankers, merchants, savants or litterateurs. Mon will follow those born to command without heartburning or envy, for they never dream of comparing these leaders to themselves.

What diplomat would ever have thought of disputing precedence with Metternich, Gortsohakoffor Talleyrand Such men rule from their inf noy, their equals In rank, but not in talent gracefully acknowledging their superiority. There are those nobles who cannot rise to command armies or Senates and these content themselves with being soldiers or loyal Legislators. The European mind is averse to Republicanism; England was glad to receive a monarch after a brief trial ot another form ot government Spain furnishes another instance of tbe preference of the people. Switzerland exists solely by the Jealousy of her neighbors, and as for France perhaps it is best to say nothing." HINKBS FILL EIGHT! FEET. St.

Bla'ne was at Linlithgow when he heard of Harrisoi's nomination, lie said he was perfectly atlsoed. The effort making to inject temperance into be platform is laudable. Temperance never hurt auybody. It sometimes plays smash witn parties for tbe time being, but iu its application as to individuals temperance is a good tbtng. The trouble with temperance politicians Is that they are usually intemperate aud impolitic They roam about under the belief that tbeir mission is to chasten the old parties, and they aro indiscriminate and not alwayB Judicious In the employment of tbe rod they havo constantly in plcUle.

Tueir political friendship is feared by practical polttlclas atmost as much as their enmity. This is a disgusting and disagreeable fact Chicago Mail. The platforms of both parties are now before the counlry and the issue Is made up. For tbe last thirteen years tho tariff question has been steadily working Its way to the trout and top. When the time came, as It did many months ago, that there were no more callable bonds on whioh to expend the vast aud increasing surplus, It was evident that the revonue question must be the problem of tho next national election.

The President's late message was helpful in that it fixed the lines of tho Qght so definitely that they could not be effaced or obscured; but the tariff, must hove been the piece de resistance of the tight under any oircumstauces.

Major Eddy was captain of the actives and Johu J. Gillies captained the veterans. General Meserole, after the first inning, dropped out of the veteran team In favor of Captain A. G. Brown.

The contest was an exceedingly lively oae, and Joe White and Gillies, heavy weights, fairly sweltered in the broiling sun. County Clerk Rauken, as catcher for the veterans, did not waver for a moment and the heat but seemed to tbaw bim out He showed excellent sticking qualities. The veterans went to the bat first and made 3 runs to their opponout'2. In the Be inning tho veterans scored 15 and deemed themselvea Bure winners.

The veterans were tired out when they sat down to dinner. If their limbs were wearied, however, by their exercise their appetites were sharpened. A bounteous and weU served monu, iu which several different kinds of fish and chicken and squab were among the solids, was partaken of with a relish.

If we have in auy manner earned your confidence and regard in uVedn T.rk let us saf you to nLt that we have honestly ondeavored to deserve it KguYreu' ito.MiatiPUDractlcareJSc": number over two millions, and the amount ot business transacted each year can be computed by billions of dollars.

Is it strange that many asked the questiou, Is it not possible to train the youug to fill these positions, to record these accouuts, to enter upun tbe life of actual business iu such a way aB to achieve substantial aud audurlug success And so we have spent our hf teen years with you, and how wo have succeeded your presence and the presence of these graduates hero tu uigbt speak more powerfully thau any words our own. As we said, wb have tried to do honest work. We have tried to prepare your sous and daughters to mi the positions to which they have aspired, and to Dll them well. To attain this end wo have endeavored to make use of every improvement introduced in commercial education at the present day. To assist us we have secured the best taleut and tho IjeBt administrative capacities within our reach.

There are two things that we have always had in view. The Drat le, that ourmiaiiou was not to prepare a few tor elevated positions In human life. We have looked forth to the needs of the great multitudes in our cities who occupy what may be oailed a petition in our busy world. They are not the lowest class ot laborers, men who are paid for their brawn and muscle only, and they belong not to the learned and professional classes. But the industrial activities of modern life are controlled aud directed by them.

Most of them ou beginuiug their active careers are without any great resources of their own. They doslre to be self supportiug, to earn their own bread. They have force and purpose aud wi'l. aud they come to ua aud an v. "Fit un to do something at ouce In this great world." And we tafce them aud endeavor to convey to 'them tho techulcal kuowledge which will fit them tor practical positions in industrial life.

We teach them to write well, to understand the science of accounts, the operations of numbers, the usages aud laws commercial transaellons; we flt them, so far as uin lusirucuuu can, to tase tneir placet at the le lger, behind the csunter, in the office. In the manufactory, as ainauueuses. as steaog raphers in effect wo say to all when they leave us, we have done what we could that you may enter at once upou some remuueratlve calling. But there is another thing that we have always kept iu view aud that we always desire to keep iu mind, aud that Is, that there is a life to be livod as well as a support to be earned. Every youth should not only desire to be self supportiug, but to make the most of thW present life.

The duties and possibilities ot life are not all summed up in the performauce of the bare requirements of oue's position. We realize that in thse mindB aud soul before us to night are ambitious to be grati Qed, louglugs to be fulfilled, social duties to be discharged, loyal citizenship to be entered upon; la fact, tho mere earuing a living Is not sufneiont to sa.isfy intelligent, progressive American youths. Tliey want to do more thau this. They desire to go ou and up in life's conflicts. They desire to be fitted to advance in the careers of honor and acquisition.

Hence we have ondouvored so to arrange the studies In this institution that the person shall be cultured as well as the hand; that all the faculties shall be harmoniously traiued; that not only shall some truth and facts De ituderstood, but there shall be somo ability developed to grasp all truths and facts. We desired that our students should not be mere machines, only capable ot doing one thing, but qualified in some measure to perform ull the duties which meutal growth and experience and worldly success might devolve upon them. Hence we were the pioneer among business educators In associating with technical instruction a thorough Eugllsh aud suieutinc training; we have thereby sought to discipline the whole mind and faculties as well as to prepare for a technical work. Tli 1b explains why our graduates often give satisfaction iu positions when others fall; why many advance when others stand still; why the demand for them by business houses is greater than the supply. It makes a difference whether a person's whole faculties are educated aud can be brought into play, or whether only a part can be relied on.

Aud now a word in relation to our reward. There is a groater oue than dollars and cents. We havo seen mauy eyes and faces grow bright at the dawn of new intelligence and new power; we have watched the consciousness of new strength and faculties as it has developed before us; we have viewed with unmixed pleasure the steadfastness and integrity and constant advance of many who have gone forth from us, but in no case has our the timid and lagging" has apPro8flBU our doors grow stronger aud mon io t. an new hope in life has come into the heart The wolf must be kept from the door; and how shall it bo done? Here the problem ba boen learned, and tho mother, the sister, the brother have not only been taught the way to self support, but the way to provide also for the wants of loved ones at home. There ure many homes in this city to night more are known to us than to you there are sunshine, happiness, plenty, because there is some one there who has learned with us the knowledge and the skill to perform some remunerative work.

Our reward to ulght as we sead forth more thau one hundred into this world's activities Is not a little ia the fact that we may have helped to Droa ion ana Drignton ana oievate some lives through all their future careers. At the close of Mr. Wrigat's remarks a double quartet consisting of T. H. Brady, W.

Bartels, George M. Deuuiston, T. W. Gauuor, K. S.

Miss Alice Garrigue, who was warmly received, saug a mazurka aud auother number on a recall. A viullu solo, "Soug That Reached My Heart," was finely played by Mr. Jay Nova, with whom the audience waa loth to part after ho had repeated tho performance. Miss Laura S. Collius recited, "The Defeuse of the Bride" and was applauded.

Tho diplomas wore uoxt prosontod. A small table was plucod in tho front of tho stage and a teacher, Mr. D. Kerr Bull, handed the graduates io classes, the diplomas. The graduates repre souted three separate departments, academic, coni morcial and phonographic.

The number of graduates, 18, was large for a school of 450. Mr. Bull made a very timely and sensible address to the graduates in which he told them that thoir diplo mus were not all nor the end ot aJ if thoy would Bucceed iu life they should continue their studies. Frluclpal Wright, in introducing Rev. Dr.

Gunnison, said that bo was loo widely known aud too highly esteemed to need any Introduction to a Brooklyn audience. Dr. Gunuisou's address was to tbe graduates. Ho congratulated them ou the Imposing festivities which had been prepared by the generous liberality of the teachers, and on tbe successful completion of their studies. Thoy were forluuate'ls having the work In New York City.

It Is the city of manifest destiny, the Old World pays tribute at its gates and the continent contributes to Its wealth. Nowuere else does the world offer such facilities for business.

A good name was not only to be choson above riches; It was the means of securing riches. He urged his hearers to be true, houorablo, diligent faithful.

The Eagle will be sent to any address in Europe at $1.35 per month, postage prepaid. Republican National Ticket. The candidate for President is a man of fair talents, excellent charncter nud austere manners. The candidate for Vice President is a citizen of high business standing, has been a diligent member of Congress and was an acceptable Minister to France.

General Harrison comeB of a very distinguished family, but ib also a self made man a combination frequent in a Republic and impossible elsewhere. The great grandfather of General Harrison was a signer of the Declaration of Independence and repeatedly Governor of Virginia. His grandfather was commissioned in the Army by President Washington, was Governor of the Northwestern Territory, a hero second only to Jackson in the War of 1812, a member of the House and United States Senator and twice the Whig candidate for President, defeated in 1836 and elected in 1810, to die exactly one month after inauguration. The father of General Harrison was several times a Congressman and a director in several railways, as well as a Government director in the Union Pacific Railway Company. He was the John Scott Harrison who, in the ITort Smith and Little Rock Railway Company, insisted on knowing to whom $125,000 worth of unitemized stock had gone until his brother director, Mr.

Rollins, stopped him with the frantic statement: "If you push that you'll kill Blaine he got the money." Notwithstanding this distinguished ancestry, every generation of the Harrisons has started life poor. The one under consideration "taught his way" through college and to the bar, settled in Indianapolis and married a daughter of one of his teachers on three hundred dollars borrowed money, which he repaid in a year." Then he went to the War a second lieutenant and came back a general of volnnteors. His subsequent participation in Indiana politics and his service for a single term in the United States Senate are well known. This record is creditable and honorable. It is not a brilliant one it is a clean and manly one.

It has already been crowned with a great honor, a parly nomination for President of the United States, won without corruption, betrayals or intrigue and coming to a man who united a UBefnl array of negative qualities with prominence in a pivotal State. The Eagle is opposed to the party and to the principles which General Harrison believes in, and intends by honorable argument to do what it can to prevent his election and to make President Cleveland his own successor but it is a pleasure at the outset to recognize the usefulness and sincerity of the life of the Republican candidate, and to stake the fight squarely upon the issues which his nomination and that of Mr. Cleveland's bring to the front the issue of Revenue Reform for all as opposed to Protection for the sake of the protected few. Not only is this a pleasure, but it is a duty to warn Democrats that "they must fight, if they would reign." General Harrison iB not tm immediately strong candidate, but he is likely to become one. There is no reason why Republicans Bhould bol him.

There is no reason to suppose they will not unite on him. There is nothing to be gained by urging that he is unfit or incompetent for that would be a defeating and a dastardly lie. The mud siinger in this canvass will lie the enemy of the side he affects to serve, and General Harrison is likely to be hurt by slingers of Republican mud at Cleveland and Thurinan, just as they are likely to be hurt by Democrats who slmg mud at their opponents. There is to be no excusr for vilification in 1888. It will be due to the dirtiness of human nature and to the swirl of political passion and prejudice and interest, if it occurs.

It will not be justified by anything in the careers and character of the candidates. Levi P. Morton has grazed very high honors in Republicanism bofore. It is a mistake to say that he declined the Vice Presidential nomination in 1880, for it was never offered "to any one but Arthur and he accepted it, in spite of the protests of Roscoe Conkling, italicized bv ancer and bv oaths: but he did decline the Secretaryship of the Navy in Garfield's Administration, on the demand of Arthur and Conkling, from whom he soon broke, when Secretary Blaine offered him the Mission to France. For that desertion of Stal wartism George H.

Sharp, Joseph D. Warren and other old Stalwarts beat him for United States Senator, when William M. Evarts was elected, a position to which Thomas O. Piatt was unable to elect him in 1887, though by suddenly flinging all the Morton forces for Hiscock he did beat Warner Miller. Mr.

Morton is a very wealthy man. He is not accused of having made a dishonest dollar, though heaven knows what crimes will be laid to Mb charge, before the canvass iB over. He is accused of being a "heavy contributor" and of this charge the truth iB this: Ho gave a good, deal ana raisua ujucu muxw ui hit: $1,125,000 which the Republicans pQt into Indiana in 1880 against the $735,000 which the Democrats rt in there. He gave $30, 000 to help carry the New York Legislature for the Republicans in 1884, with the view of being choBen United States Senator. As said, Mr.

Evarts beat him, and Mr. Evarts' canvass cost $50,000, which was effectively spent not to elect a legislature, but on a legislature already elected. In 1887, when Mr. Morton was again a candidate for United States Sen ator against Warner Miller, he had the reputation of spending money and absolutely refused to spend any at all. A rich relative of Warner Miller's "backed him." The Morton 'qojjeyless.

So was the His forces elected Hiscock over Warner Miller. It was Governor Hill's idea to throw the Democratic vote in the Legislature for Morton and elect him before the Republicans could settle on a nominee in caucus, their cauens having failed to make a ohoice on the day set by law for the voting to begin. Had that advice been taken, Republicanism would havo been divided and the Republican candidate for Vice President would have been some one else than the banker who has often been a political contributor, but never a political corruption ist. The truth in a case that is certain to be made the occasion for heated accusation it has seemed to the Eagle to be a good thing plainly to state at the outset of a canvass which just men will wiBh to keep free from falsehood, scandal and injustice. The political significance of Harrison and Morton is in the fact that one has always been a conservative Republican and the other was once a Stalwart.

The geographical significance is in the fact that Harrison comes from stte necessary to the Republicans to md Morton from the State which the rata cannot afford to lose. The com of Indiana and New York is one for the Republicans; it is atoning one for the Democrats. question, Mr. Morton would not have ominated, had he been a poor man, English would not have been nomi or Vice President in 1880, had he not i rich man. The rich man proved a poor ratio investment then.

The rich man nu prove a poor jttepuDiican nv alg it he declines to be robbed as purchase for imported aro mumii and exported for the purpose of receiving a Euro pean stamp and then returned whence they were XhT a hleh under a high tariff, without any necessity for ao doiug, as the same goods could be placed ou the market In Its true character (home made) at a much lower figure than it sold at after the payment of export aud import duties. The credit for competithw with turopoan manufacture would be giveu to the borne we love so dearly, instead of practicing do ception aud fraud by the subterfuge of a high tariff. Another fact which dalles contradiction and whbh also implies a fraud upon the community at large, a number sf whom are clamoring for production, is as follows A certain wholesale liquor house bottles California wines, aud placing thereon a European label, sell, the same to the so called Protectionists for im, ported, tbey not having the least susnlHon truth, os they would under no circumstances whatever drink home made wine. Yet ihey love pro. tection.

Is this the protection that we, as men oi equal rights, are requested to clamor for in order that our pockets may be drained of their contents Is this not a breach of the international law Tho Republican oyea being opened to the present status of affairs, in endeavoring to keep tbe negro uuo.r ranns, nave raised the hideous war cry "Proteotion" twenty four years old. As a nogro 1 have had every facility of knowing the' true moanlnir nf thla m. Ii.taUj,,, uu. iihu uoiiTiou, tu uo xresuaciutieu only another contest is at hand and defeat is inevitable 5c as it will be In November next, when the Dartv oi1 benefactor, will elect Grover Cleveland and Allen G. Thurman.

In those feeble expressions I voice tho sentiment of a number of my coworkers who, like myself, have become exhausted with a continuous cry of "Protection," without any manifestation, and tbe bringing up of a dead iBsue (slavery) and throwing it iuto the teeth of the party who now offers to us eqtlal rights, which offer we have never had, as our votes were and are now only the tools to manufacturo their machines, with out which the work could never be accomplished. Ilongtoseo the day when the negro, like other races, will think and act for himself, and aot by dictation. R. A. MoitDBCAI.

Brooklyn, June 25, 1888. THIS PFIFFER ACCIDENT. President Stiles Doubts Tbat it Happened To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle 1 understand there has appeared in yocr paper some articles In reference to a reported accident upon the Brooklyn aud Jamaica Electric Railway, in which it is claimed tbat a woman was injured by an electric shock from the electric wires of the road, while riding In a car during the severe thunder storm on the night of the 15th lust I am the general manager of the Van Depoeln Electrio Manufacturing Company, which furnished the electrical equipment for this road aud which has equipped twelve other reads In the United States and Canada, some of which have been running over four years. It is impossible for a person to become Injured by electricity while riding upon the car. This can roadiiy be verifled upon examination by any practical electrician.

There are over fllty thousand people riding every day upon eleetric cars equipped uuder this Bys tem and not an Instauce has beeu known of a person being injured on tho cars from electricity. In the instauce referred to the woman betame frightened during the storm, the electric lights in the ear having gone out and beeu suddenly relighted. The woman is very nervous aud subject lo fits, as was stated by her Bister who was with her at the time, and the fright may have produced paralysis, but thla I do notknow. Any person who will take the trouble cau ascertain as to the truth ot rsy statement by taking a ride upon those cars, which can be reached, from the Brooklyn Elevated Road station at Alabama avenue. The road passes through Cypress Hills, Woodhaven, Morris Park, Richmond Hill and Jamaica.

It la ou the line of the old Brosklyn and Jamaica Plank Road Company, and is indorsed by the citizens residing on the line of the road. In consequence of the facilities for traix slt now afforded and which will be afforded when the whole lino has been equipped with new track, real estate is rapidly advancing tn value along the whole line of tho road. The most beautiful building locations on Long Island are situated on this road, box the country has not been improved ustii recently on account of the poor facilities for transportation. Everything Is sow cbauged and people can be seen every day going out on these cars looking for building sites and for property to be subdivided Into lots. Thla has beeu the history of every road which has been equipped with electrical power, in many Instances the real estate haying advanced 100 per cent.

I do not own any estod iu the Van Depoele Electric Railway system, our company having sold its olectrlo railway business to the Thomson Housten Electric Company. 1, therefore, can speak disinterestedly aud with the experience I hare had, with some degree of knowledge. A. K. Stilbs, President of the Chicago Electric Club.

Astob HOG3B, Yoke, June 23, SCHEItSERUORN SIRIiET. Wny its Head should be Adorned Wilis Tree and Flowers, To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: After long continued efforts to arouse public attention to the importance of concert of action In matters relating to street ornamentation, in order that our city be mado more attractive, pubUo taste developed, the interest of tho youug awakened to the study of the beauties of nature, health promoted aud tho dully life of the tolliug masses made inoro cheerful, 1 fear the labor is iu vain, since opposition is developed iu a quarter where encouragement was to he expected. No sp.t in tho city pro st uts greater opportnnity for embellishment than tho triangular space at the imorsoction of Scber merhoru street aud Flatbush avenue. If, under control of the Park Department, why so long neg lected 1 Eucloae planted with gra aud flowers, with rocks in the center overgrown by vines and ferns, it would soon become a beauty spot instead of a barren waste ou tbe line of the principal ave nue to the park. There the school children could be inlet eitted in planting treos on Decoration day aud tho erectlou of a drinking fountain for the refreshment of thousands.

The bearing ot such aa improvement upon the general good must be evident to the majority of people, physicians especially, yet to my surprise so distinguished a member of tbe fraternity as Dr. W. S. Searle advocates in tho EaOLS having tbe space paved and used as a roadway lu order, I presume, that he may not lose time and be put te the inconvenience of turning a cor ner to reach Lafayette avenue. Hu says, It now serves uo useful purpose." It has uot a bludo of grass nor a tree.

True, Doctor, but havo you given your support to those who have labored in the pautto have trees and crass planted? If the city has otner and more Important work on baud at this time I do nut believe tbe authorities would ob ject if citizens raised a fund to carry out the im provement It be to tbe benefit of property owners in Schornierhora street a work in which thousands who pass the spot many times on their way to and from the Tabernacle shout! feel an Interest It would be a noble work for the church lo erect a fountain aud ornament the ground. Any movement in this direction will receive my sup port J. c. Parsons. Brooklyn, June 25, 1K8S.
