1837. of mind that the doctor's obdujacy is just what the conspirators hoped for; that it iB deliberately playing into the hand's of "those people at Rome." If the dootor does not see this he is mentally blinder than the least intelligent of the flock who have been so devoted to him in this great, orisis of his life. The truth is that he has no intention and never has had since his deposition from the pastorship of St. Stephen's at submitting to ecclesiastical authority so far as it seeks to force him to renounce hie views on tho land question. He has had his ohoioe between following the cross of Christ as a priest of the Roman Church and following the cross of the new crusade as an American citizen, and he has deliberately deoided in favor of tho latter.

His reticence as to some points and his vague observations as to others are merely a cover under which he proposes to make the exchange of callings. We bid a regretful adieu to the minister of the Gospel of Jesus and shall follow with no little inter est the career of the evangel of Anti Poverty. Cleveland and others, effected tho release of Irish American citizens from British jails, into which they had boon cast by Gladstone with Blaine's tumultuous approbation Exchange of views on those old days must have enabled both Blaine and Gladstone to hare a pleasant time. Allen G. Thar man.

In another column of the Eagle to day will be found an interesting interview with Alien G. Thurman, of Ohio, who is visiting relatives on Long Island. There are few men in the country whose personality appeals more cordially to popular appreciation and around whose venerable figure cluster so many kindly thoughts as is the case with this distinguished citizen. In ita simplicity and sturdiuess, its honesty and liberality, hiB nature is conspicuous. A perfect type of the straight forward, strong hearted manhood of the West, Thurman stands forth as a statesman pre eminently American in his characteristics; and it is because this fact is generally recognized that he is admired as much outside his own party as in it.

CURRENT EVENTS. sums of moneynot in the oustomary form of checks but in the extraordinary shnpo of our renoy for some purpose whioh the witness did not set forth. This muoh beforo the Court, tho obvious conclusion that the money was used in the bribery to whioh everything points can bo overthrown only by proof by the defense of its appropriation to another objoot.

No such evidence will be forthcoming. Yesterday's proceedings, therefore, may be regarded as long steps in advance. The Rope Broke. People along Park avenue were forced to wait a long time beforo the wire rope snapped. During the twenty four hours or so of suspension of cable traffic they will have opportunity to return to their old love, the car horse, and compare the virtues of the two methods 'of movement.

As tho comparison can not be injurious to the cable system it is not a misfortune in any sense. In discussing intraurban railway reform on June 5, the Eagle mentioned one by one the advantages of cable over horse flesh as a motor power and also the disadvantages, among which the most conspicuous in other cities has been the slaughter of children. Nothing like this has happened in Brooklyn and now that the cable road is familiar to tho public, no individual effort will be made to test its power to kill. This utter absence of mortality is due to the vigilance of tho employes of tho company, as well as to the prudence of the public. It calls for no little presence of mind and manual dexterity to keep the bit in tho mouth of one of these grip cars.

Sometimes tho iron jaw under ground bites off more machinery than it can masticate, and then there is a scattering of steel teeth. Owiug to the opaqueness of stone pavement it is a matter of experience to grip the cable every time with easy decision of loverage power, and so long as the engineers spare the spinal cords of tho passengers they will be forgiven for occasionally breaking the pliable vertebrate of the road itself. Tho Park avenue Company has certainly profited by tho mistakes of antecodont ventures in cable transit, for this wastheir first accident. No one was hurt and the damage was financially unimportant. These steel strands can be spliced as securely and durably as the threads of a ruptured rope.

The gripping apparatus is very simple of construction and is attached to tho car in suoh a manner that a collision so violent as to separate one from the other would occasion the passengers only the momentary discomfort of a sudden jar. The car cannot be derailed, and under tho most distressing circumstances it will be oither the grip or the cable that will give way and not the wheels. In hot weather passengers on the cable road may take those chances with equanimity, for they will suffer no delay from tho watering or Budden faintnoss of horses, from any interference by the force of gravitation on steep grades, or from blockades. It is gratifying to note with what prompt courtesy ugly tempered truck drivers the liko yield the right of way to a train of coble cars. A Good Man Agfaiimt a Bad Job.

Chief Engineer Van Buren, of tho Department of City Works, denies that he approved the Pier Line Extension bill, which, if signed by tho Governor, will add millions of dollars to private interests on the Eastern District water front. The peculiar features of this measure have been fully described in the Eagle. Mayor Whitney was recently asked by John J. Clancy to use his influence to have the Governor kill the bill, but tho Mayor declined to interfere. His Honor said that he had submitted the matter to Chief Engineer Van Buren who could see no objection to it.

Mi'. Van Buren stating, "If the Harbor Commissioners don't oppose it, I don't Bee why I shall." Mr. Van Buren now says: "What I said wis that it was a matter for the Pilot Commissioners to settle. I pointed out that the proposed extension is not as tho friends of the bill aay it is. Thoy say that they simply want to extend the pier line out to tho line recommended by General Newton in 1875.

The bill does not comtomplate anything of the kind. It proposes to extend the line between 200 and 300 feet beyond that recommended by General Newton. The Newton line extends out 120 feet at North Eleventh street from the present lino and tho proposed extension goeB 250 feet beyond that." It now remains to be seen whether Governor Hill will be deceived or deluded into signing this measure, under tho idea that UnMJErffs. BRRR DDDD EEEBT BBHS II I. IS T8 ft 11 Kit RRRR II II Yd V.

Richard Brush, the grandson of a man Who was rich and ot some distinction, was secretly married on Tuesday evonlng to Mary McCormlok, a half orphan, whoso mother has the reputation ot being the most litigious woman on all Long Island.

She was recently complainant against a woman who received a sontonce of three months' Imprisonment for selling liquor wlthont a license. Lena Sauer was the womau and tho complaint was made because Lena gave Bridget McCormlck's overgrown boy a thrashing. Mr. Brush la genteol nud refined looking. His family and relatives do not know of his marriage, and the bride has so far kept the fact concealod from her mother.

Thero will bo muslo when tho two families learn that they are bound by tho string of matrimony. Young is not of age and an attempt may bo made to nullify the marriage, which was performed by tho Rev. Mr. Cutler, ot Woodhaven. A few years ago another of the Brush boya marrlod a widow old enough to bo hla grandmother and his father had the contract annulled.

ANSWERING Hit. SAWYER. Corporal Tenney Write About the Proposed Monument. To tht Sditor of tht Brooklyn Eagle With your permission I desire to say a few words In answer to Charles Carroll Sawyer in your Issue of this evening on tho aubject of tbe disposal of tho rebel Hags. From his lettor I havo no Idea that he ever helped placo thoso flags whore thoy aro or realized the Immense sacrifice of life and tho billions of treasuro It took to place thorn In their preaont resting place.

If he had, he would not wlah to soo them burnod, but would rathor keep them as a memorial of tho triumph of right over wrong. I object to hla proposed monumont, dedicated to the Goddoas of Peace, with two figures representing soidiora of the North and South grasp ing her hands. Tho ancionts were accustomed to produce in stono or bronze symbols of the Idea or event in history which thoy desired to perpetuate, so that futuro generations might know and understand thoir symbolism. Tho Blue and Gray twenty live years ago wore symbolical of loyalty and treason, and while the present generation may bo unablo to understand thoir true meaning, thoy havo nevertheless left their Indelible traco In tho world's history. As one who woro tho blue, and be llovlng fully In tho groat cause which It represents, I objoot to tho unity of right and wrong, as symbolizod in Sawyer's proposed monument There can be no unity between them.

To place tho gray upon an oquallty with the blue would bo an insult to every loyal hoart. I fought throe years and a half to placo thoso Rebel flagi (symbols of slavory) whoro they are, and I want thorn kopt thero. With the Government in tho hands of our late onemlos and unrepentant Rebels sent as foreign ambassadors wo may well ask: Which sldo won? I have ahared my hardtack and salt horse with many a Southorn man whom tho fortunes ot war placed in our banda, and would do so again, but, while succoring the wounded and prisoners, I never forgot that tho cause which thoy represented was the cause of the alavoholdor, and as such was opposed to humanity and tho spirit of tho ago. I wish to soo tho antagonisms of tho past wiped out, but tho proposition of the first Domo cratlo Administration since tho war to return tho tattered romnants of a lost cause without consulting thoao by whose valor they woro placed whore thoy aro has dono much to roopon tho old wounds which tlmo had healed. I can grasp in true friendship tho hand of any man who honorably woro tho gray, but he must not ask me to entwine with tho Stars and Stripes (omblomatical of liberty tho world over) the Stars and Bars (symbolical of treason and Blavory).

Wo hove forgiven out cannot forgot, and 600,000 Union dead cry out from thoir resting place against this sacrilogo. I would mako It treason to exhibit tho standard of the late rebellious Statos within the Jurisdiction of the Union, and that would ond all talk of handing back to tho lato owners the representative of their crime.

SIR. HKNDEItSOVS CASE. Some Explanation Concorulns tho Dispute Over the Kcntlrick Will. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle Feeling assured that it is not the intention of your valuable paper to assist in tho Injury of any porson, I am compelled to ask a few lines whoreln to correct a wrong impression which Is convoyed in an article in your paper on Friday last concerning the litigation between tho widow of tho lato Washington Koudrlck and myself. In It you stato that tho allegation la mado that I extracted a number of deeds from a box up to the timo of his death in tho possession of Mr.

Kondrlck. This Btatomont Is easily disprovod by tho testimony given beforo J. Sauford Potior, who was appointed roforeo In tho caso when It 11 ret claimed tho attention of the Supreme Court, and a copy of which 1 now have. In fact, tho tostlmony was so strongly In my ravor that the rofereo decided for mo. Aa to supplementary proceedings referred to by your reporter.

I testified to facta. And incidentally I might say thoy wero held last December, Consequently It appears to me thataome person has practiced a piece of deception on your reporter In giving him what waa allogod to "be nows, but what was in reality more than six months old. By the will of Mr. Kondrik I am entltlod to more than some peoplo would liko mo to got, and It Is evident to mo that there Is an attompt to Injure my standing iu a community whoro I havo lived and carried on business for yeara aa an honorable business man should. For this reason I ask you kindly to correct the false impression alluded to, porfeotly satisfied that when tho timo comes for me to establish my rights and uphold my character I will not only havo tho sympathy of tho Eaolz, but of evorybody who reads it as well.

Hempstead Suits the Richest Woman in Amoriea An Under Sheriff and a Coroner Ducked, Surrogate Weller, of Queens County, disposed of a novelty In tho lino of contested wills yesterday afternoon. The decedent was a black man, Isaao Cox, of Glen Cove, and he had accumulated property valuod at $3,000. Ho married a woman of bis own color, but several years ago turned hor adrift. Theroasouwas that ho had fallen In lovo With a young white woman, and the strange thing about It was that she reciprocated his affection and took Mrs. Cox's place In his household.

Her name was Josephine Covert. Tho black man and white woman lived together for several years, and Mrs. Cox did not reside far away. She could not be Induced to bring an action for divorce and Cox had no ground on which to proceed against her. Sho did, however, compol him to provide In part for her support.

Cox died suddenly a year ago. The colored people, who said ho had won the white woman's lovo by weaving a charm around her, had been predicting his death whon the charm had run out, felt that they were qualified prophets. Cox left a will bequeatning his residence to Josephine Covert, and Mrs. Cox contested tho probate of It on the ground of fraud and undue Influence. The case was concluded yosterday on the basis of a comproml so which glvosthe discarded wife half of theostato.

THE STREETS OP SEA CLIFF. Tho Village of Soa Cliff Is governed by a Board of Truateos. Recently thoy ordered that the lines of certaln'streets bo altered and property owners wero directed to romoro their fences.

Counselor Payne, of Glen Core, was retained to pro coed against the trustees, who had ordorod the Highway Cemmtssloner to go ahead with the work, which necessarily Included tho destruction of the fencos. After looking up the law Counselor Payne came to the conclusion that the trustees had ex eeodod thoir powers and that control of the streets remained In tho Sea CHIT corporation. Accordingly he obtained from Judgo Cullen a permanent Injunction restraining tho trustoes and everybody undor their control from interfering with tho highways In any manner. Tho trusieos me); last night and voted to employ counsel with a vlow to havln the Injunction vacated. Tho mattor will roappoar beforo Judge Cullen in a few days.

To day is the sevonty fourth anniversary of the birth of Henry Ward Beeoher. Mid August of this year would have occurred tho fiftieth anniversary of his marriage. In the early Fall of the present year would ihave also occurrod the fiftieth anniversary of 3tfr. Boecher's ordination as a clergyman and the fortieth anniversary of his installation as pastor of Plymouth Church. The Eagle had the intention of suggesting to the citizens of Brooklyn a fitting celebra 'tion of these interesting events in Mr.

Beecher's life. The design was to combine in one eplendid occasion the observance of these 'four anniversaries in what would have been the coronal year of the old man's lifo. As part of such recognition the purpose existed to secure from the great minds of America and of Europe their expression of esteem for the character and their estimate of tho'greatness of the career of Henry Ward (Beecher and to lay the tribute at his feet, Mr. Beecher's death prevented the demonstration proposed. Before his illness the Eagle had arranged as a long time would bo required to secure the literary testimonial jHeaigned as a feature of the projected occasion.

Buch arrangements were not susponded by 'Mr. Beecher's sudden demise. They were Icomploted with the single change that the expressions were made apply to a transcendent career closed, instead of to one in full tide of forceful activity for tho world. 'f In tho Eagle of next Sunday morning the jTOSuU will be presented to the public. The Eagle at that time will print tributes to Mr.

eecher from tho pens of Grover Cleveland, (W. E. Gladstone, Georgo William Curtis, John JQ. Whittier, Canon Farrar, General Sherman, Senator Edmunds, RobertG. Ingersoll, Kobert Collyer, T.

White, John Burroughs, Edward Eggleston and many othors. Tho manysidednoss of Henry Ward Beecher Is apparent from the different impressions jvbich he made, as will be seen, on each of the distinguished contributors to next Sunday's Eagle. Tho tribute which the writings collectively and severally form to tho genius, Bervice and influence of the great preacher is os extraordinary as it ia genuine. No friend of Henry Ward Beecher will fail to realize that the divines, statesmen, artists, authors, jurists, philanthropists, naturalists, poets and warriors of th9 time admirably express tho iworld's gratitude for the lifo and the world's Bense of loss the departure of one of tho most illustrious names of this unequaled century. The Supervisors.

The Board of Supervisors on Thursday warded the St. Johnland building contract to P. J. Carlin with the same certainty and precision with which it has invariably voted to him anything he asked for that has had money in it. Supervisor Willis, Kepublican, find Supervisor Bell, Democrat, sought to defeat this award because tho sum exceeds the estimate by between $200,000 and $300, 000; but as if that was reason why the award was made the Board by a formidable combine of twonty five voted them down.

The Board and Mr. Carlin ought to find in the $890,000 awarded enough to assure to the county buildings worth as much money as can be applied to that purposo. If tho Supervisor at Largo has any power to veto anything it seems that ho holds his power subject to the Board's opinion of Counselor Mycnborg's opinion on bis vetoes a trial of economy vs. rapacity could well be made by a disapproval of this echeme. They might vote the Supervisor nt Largo down, but they would have to tlo it in public, and they would have to give something that would look like reasons for it.

Both requirements, especially the latter, would trouble them not a little. Beside, Mr. Quintard couldn't mako them any more "down" on him than thoy are as witness the Watsonian eructation of spleen yesterdayand a veto in the interests of honesty might build up Mr. Quintard with tho public. If he desiroB to demonstrate that tho Cai'Jin istic spell has not been cast over his office, he will do well to veto this scheme with all his might.

As to the other voto, that of the second assistant janitor the Court nouse, the Board, after an angry outburst already referred to, sent the document of disapproval to the counsel of the Board to seo whether the resolution comes within the powers of the Supervisor at Large. Mr. Myenborg would do well to decide contrary to what is expected of him, now and then, for his opiuioii is only that of a lawyer any way, partaking of no judicial quality whatever and capable of being differed from by any other lawyer retained to disagree with it. A use of his office on the side of economy occasionally might make Mr. Myenborg Supervisor at Jjarge himself some day.

Important Advance in the Sharp Case. Tho most interesting feature of tho Sharp trial yesterday was the discussion as to the ndmissability of tho testimony given before the Senate Investigating Committee by the de fondant. His counsel objected on the giound that tho section of the Penal Code relating to bribery provides that any porson offending ligainst this section may be a witness against another offender and may be compelled to testify, "but the testimony so given shall not be used in any prosecution or proceeding, or criminal, against tho person so testifying," and further that a person so testifying to tho giving of a bribe which has been accepted shall not thereafter be liable to indictment, prosecution or punishment for that bribery and may plead or prove the giving of testimonyaccordingly, in bar of such an indictment or prosecution." Inasmuch aB the Sonate Committee was a legally organized body with power to compel Sharp to answer, it was contended that under the code what he said could not be used agaiast him. Tho course of tho defendant's counsel seoms to furnish a practical refutation of this view. If tho testimony of Sharp beforo tho committee cannot, under this section, be used against him, under the Bame section he cannot be proceeded against at all.

What is tho this long trial now going on in New York Why. when an attempt to arraign Sharp was made, did not his lawyers plead that according to tho codo he was not "liable to indictment, prosecution, or punishment for tho bribery to which his testimony related Tho counsel for tho people argued yesterday and Judgo Barrett ruled that there wos no privilege, that Sharp's Senate testimony was tho testimony of a witness in an investigation having no relation to criminal justice, and the testimony BO given is ovidenco against tho person there giving it and the only escape from it was by their claiming the privilege at the timo." It will therefore bo read to tho jury, with tho running commentary of such other testimony us the prosecution may introduce in explanation of it. Its admission, of course, will not affect the defendant so far as moral conviction is affected, for it was already familiar to the public and was tho chief ground on which opinion had boon founded. It is manifestly Important in the process of legal conviction. The testimony of Sharp points generally to bribery and epecifically to tho uso of largo Jeffs I.aal Jeremlnd.

On either side of that grand division of the American people who believe that the war is over, that the South is conquered and reconciled, that a new era in our national lifo has dawned, that sectionalism has vanished, that East, West, North and South are united by the conviction that each is necessary to the other and that all feel tho impulse whioh animates communities to whom Providence has assigned common interests and a common destiny, there is a little group of ir reconoilnbles too blind to see or too pigheaded to acknowledge the mighty changes of the last quarter of a century. Over the one floats the time stained standard of the Bourbon, with its pathetio inscription: We never learn and we never forget," and. over tho other the ensanguined banner of the never give up brigade, with the menacing legend, A state of war is a stote of nature." Beneath the folds of the former conspicuously stands the venerable figure of Jefferson Davis and most prominent among the warriors gathered under the latter is tho rugged form and saturnine visage of John Sherman. Between these flanking bands of political outcasts the nation, witha supreme disdain of both, forges steadily along the lines of its appointed career, grateful for the prosperity which it enjoys, cheered by tho prospeot of still larger opportunities and confident in the hope of a glorious future. Such reflections suggest themselves in view of the letter just published from the impenitent ex President of the defunct Confederacy.

Tho interest which he takes in the new life of tho American people is measured by his desiro to compare its. follies and foibles with the stable wisdom of the era in whioh he played a leading part. To the present he lays no claim, but the past is securely his. A hermit in the midst of vast activities which he has no wish to shore, a sort of political Simeon Stylites perohed upon his column ond viewing tho world only to criti ciso ond condemn it, Mr. Davis' ebullitions from time to time uttract the attention whioh would be excited if some Ptolemy should step from his tomb in the Pyramids with a new revelation for the modern Egyptologist.

The old man's last announcomont breathes his reverence for the ancient usages of the War Department and pays the homage of a sigh to its violated precedents. The battle flogs," he says (passing by in contemptuous silence tho ignorant and irreverent interlopers who have invaded tho sacred precincts where he formorly uttored the oracles of war, "wero captured by the Volunteer Army of the North and belong to the several States and have no right to be in the National Capitol." There wo have h'im again tho old man at his old tricks exalting tho State, dis. paraging tho nation. President Cleveland will read this declaration with a new and keener sense of his turpitude. The revocation of his order was an insult to that sovereignty which in tho eyes of Mr.

Davis made Mississippi mightier than the Union of States to whioh she belonged. Ii the flags had been the property of tho nation and an Executive act in violation of that ownership had transferred them to the several States, the old man's heart would have beaten in sympathy with the courage which was equal to such a larceny. Cleveland was wrong not because he offered the standards as a pledgo of national fraternity, but because the withdrawal of the offer somehow or othor acknowledged the propriety of spelling nation with a capital N. A dead Ptolemy is not more archaio than the living Davis. Ex Corporal Latham Tenney in anothor column makes a fierce prose assault on soma recent propositions by Charles Carroll Sawyer, It now remains for Sawyer to reply in a poem to cause Latham Tenney to wish that he had kept quiet.

For a man who went to the wflf Latham Tonnoy is very bollicose. Letters of his kind, of the real implacable sort, are gea erally written by those who havo been fight, ing with their mouths ever sinco the rebellion grounded arms', but who did not go to th.8 war themselves. Perhaps, a roleut loss civilian assisted Latham Tenney in his bloodbucket epistle. Tho Eagle's only critL cism on Latham's Tenney's letter is that was not written with a quill from tho wing of the national bird dipped in blood drawn from tho arm of some rebel baby born since the war. The Mayoralty talk among tho politicians indicates the dropping of Whitney, a tentative concentration on that very able man, Controller Ohapin, and a slight consideration of Rufus L.

Scott, Postmaster Hendrix and others. There is plenty of time for the politicians to change this preliminary talk and to restore Uncle Daniel to the first placo in the guessing pool. After tho politicians have said their say those whom the politicians call "the monogers" will have their innings. In none of the gossip is there even a suspicion that there is such a party as the Democratic, or that perhaps it might have conventions and candidates of its own. The party's opportunity may possibly be postponed until after election.

The Eagle yesterday printed an article on dogs, the drift of which was to mitigate the terrors of hydrophobia by showing that the disease was not of such frequent occurrence as is sometimes supposed. Valuable advice also was given to owners. Meanwhilo tho dog ques" rages in New York. All Mayor Hewitt's efforts at reform the enforcement of the Sunday Liquor law, the removal of rails, the improvement of the juror system, the suppression of "dives," and the rest seem to have occasioned loss heated excitement than his casual remark that "right minded persons should refrain from keeping dogs in tho oity." It is painful to see that the estoomed Times, when requested to discuss this topic, instead of considering it soberly, as it would approach the wickedness of Mr. Blaine or the righteousness of Mug wumpery, tries to evade tho issue undor cover of the levity of a sixth column" essay.

Mayor Hewitt's proposed ordinance prohibiting dogs may be rather severe. How would it do to restriot thorn to the laps and tho carriages of their lady owners and forbid thoir appearance on the street The light weight champion was found reading a novel. Even if it was a dime story, or indeed one of Mme.

The vice president of the Long Island Railroad Company pronounces romance the story that a connection between that lino and the Baltimore and Ohio road is to be mado through tho Thirty ninth street Forry.

Without such a denial it seemed wholly improbable that tho Long Islnnd would seolc such an outlet. But if the stupid or otherwise Aldermen and shortsighted property ownors combine successfully to shut travelers out of New York by tho natural course of Atlantio avonuo the publio will presently be Berved by some route whioh will be of little benofit to Brooklyn. It does seem as though there was a good deal of nonsenso in our jury system. On Sunday last the membors of tho Sharp jury wero permitted to walk tho corridors of their hotel, but not to go outside; thoy wore permitted to see members of thoir families, but no other persons. This; oustom of virtually impugning the integrity of a jury by keeping it under surveillanoe has mSdtf our system ihe laughing of other Btatei'.

It in 18G9 as the successor of Ben Wade, and it was during this oritical period, with his party in a hopeless minority, and with littlo but a pretense of organization, that Thurman gave marked evidence of that capacity of leadership and comprehensiveness of view in national affairs which have distinguished his whole public career. He has always been a hard fighter. Compromise never found in him an advocate. With courage no less than with sagacity ho has consistently repelled assault, not only standing boldly for the maintononce of the old issues with which his party was identified, but leading the way in the creation of sentiment which was not without wholesome effect on the times. Conkling once said of him that he had never seen him discomfited in debato; that his equipment was without equal, and that nothing but the sheer weight of numbers could prevail against him." Since his retirement from the Senate there has been more or less talk of nominating Thurman for the Presidency, but his own co oporation in a movement of this charocter could never be secured.

In the retirement of private life he has not failed to give his aid to tho Democracy whenever it has been sought, and his views have not hesitated to carry with them the weight to which thoy are entitled. During his conversation with the Eagle reporter Mr. Thurman paid his compliments to the demagogues who have been endeavoring to mako political capital out of the incident of tho battle flags and then turned his attention to the President and the Administration. Speaking of the President ho said I regard Mr. Olevolaud as a brave, an honest and on able man.

might not, perhaps, have dono exactly as lie has done had I been in bis place, bat I believe Dim to bo thoroughly upright and honest and to possess much more ability than lie is given crodlt for. I think that he has never dono except what he believed to be right This opinion of Mr. Cleveland is thoroughly in accord with that which the great body of citizens entertain. In his resolute adherence to what ho believes to bo right, in the way ho ignores the schemers, whether within his own party or out of it, who oro trying to bring discredit on the Administration by misrepresentation and abuse, and in the determination which he is showing to give to the country a sound, safe and clean government, the President is daily growing in the confidence of tho people, and meriting tho kindly opinions which are so freely passed upon his work. Mr.

Cleveland has not made the mistake of confounding tho sentiment of the people with the nvnrico of politicians. He realizes that patronage is a matter about which the great majority of our citizens care absolutely nothing, and in face of the roar of tho tiger and tho attomptod bulldozing of would be party leaders, ho has not swerved from the lines of policy which he promulgated in liis inaugural from tho steps of the Capitol. It is because he has kept his word, because he has not weakened in his fidelity to reform, that the people extend to him and his Administration the confidence they do. Appreciating theso facts, it is none the less gratifying to hear words of encouragement from a man of the stamp of tha ex Senator of Ohio. Regarding the political situation in his own State Mr.

Thurman said nothing. He has olways contended that no public honor should be indecorously sought, and that no public service could be honorably declined. It is not probable that tho ox Governor is anxious to again enter aotive politics, but if the Democrats of Ohio were to tender him the nomination for Governor, we have little doubt that ho could be induced to accept. The more men of this typo we can keep identified with our public affairs the better it will be for the interests of tho community. Facts.

Syracuse Journal. Grover Cleveland and his two brothers on the breaking out of the war decided that two should enter tho army of tho Union and one stay homo to care for thtir widowed mother and sisters. The lot to Btay fell on Grover Cleveland. His brothers entered the army, served bravely and with credit to the end of the war, and several years after were lost at sea. Young Cleveland discharged the trust devolved on him, but was, however, drafted.

Ho induced a sailor on the lake to go as his substitute. Tho substitute served honorably until the close of the war, without a stain on his record, and returned to private life. Mr. Cleveland borrowed of friends the money to pay the bounty of the substitute and by two years' hard saving repaid the loan. James G.

Blaino was drafted, too. Ho put $25 into a drafted men's pool and tho pool bought him a substitute who was convicted of forging enlistmont papers, before ho got to the front, 'and was confined in a military prison, until the close of tho war, for that offenso in New York City. Mr. Blaine was repaid out of the City Treasury of Augusta $235 for tho $25 which ho put into the pool as were all its members. Those are tho facts as to the two men.

They are, because of the prominence of tho two, apart of the history of this country, but let the papers from Brooklyn to Suspension Bridge notice whether the Syracuse Journal publishes those facts as a corrective of the misrepresentation which it has printed. Sr. Mc til yam's Decision. To tho petitions of his friends, to tho prayers of his late parishioners, the ex postor of St. Stephen's makes the following emphatic reply: "I will not oboy the summons of those people at Rome." Bo it understood, however, that by this Dr.

McGlynn does not mean that ho has ceased to respect the authority of tho Pope. Ho does not mean that tho Supreme Pontiff cannot command the presence of a priest in matters pertaining to church government or in reference to questions of faith. What ho does moan is that his enemies in the Eternal City are at tho bottom of all this business, and that tho Holy Father is groping in a cloud of misrepresentations. Ho insists that he is just as good a Catholic to day as he ever was, and has therefore no disposition to treat with disrespect the head of the church. The words, those people at Rome," refer to tho conspirators who havo been laboring to undormino tho doctor and havo rosorted to every dovico to accomplish their purpose.

Unless the papal bull has no terrors for him and ho has made up his mind to step down and out from the ministry is it not obviously his duty to go to Romo, confront his enemies and satisfy tho Holy Father that he has neither done nor said anything which should expose him to discipline or removal He has had ample proof that nothing short of his personal attendance and explanation candissipatothe alleged errors under which the Pope labors.

Ah the Eagle argued on April 8, iterated on May 30 and reiterated on Juno 2, the center board is the winning principle.

The two crack boats embodying tho best ideas of the two host, modelers in these rival schools raced yes terday off Marblehead, and tho May flower defeated tho Galatea by three miles. The difference in time was about seventeen minutes, ample evidence that the wind was blowing a galo. No international prestigo denended unon this race. It was only the re suit of the contest between sloops of tho first class in tho annual regatta of the Eastern Yacht Club. But the weather was just as tho English captain of the Galatea wished for during the America Cup races last year.

He wanted it to "blow great guns" in order that his cuttor might have a chance to profit by her depth of keel, of which she has over twenty feet. Tho Mayflower also has a keel, but a shallow one, which can be deepened by an adjustable conterboard. In a gale such as that of yesterday she lot it down to tho full and proved her ability to sail as closo to the wind as tho Galatea. It is a fact that has been demonstrated, therefore that the Mayflower, as the best type of tho center board principlo, can outsail in any sort of woather tho Galatea, the latest exponent but one of the cutter idea. That one is tho Thistle, and she has not coverod herself with glory so thickly that the eyes of the New World are dazzled.

There is a pretty volunteer down on the Delaware Biver, who, when she makes her debut, will leave many things to be desired in tho Scotch yacht, and one of these things will probably be speed. A Pleasant Time All Around. Noticing that Mr. Blaino lately niado in England for effect in America a call on the great Coercionist and anti Home Ruler of 1881, who has since changod his policy, tho Tribune to day says: "Mr. Gladstone is at present out of favor in the fickle world of London fashion and it is not considered to bo good form for any ono who frequents what are known as the great houses to pay him marked attention." The knowledge in this country of any social slights and political snubs which Mr.

Gladstone receives comes mainly through the correspondents of American journals in London. Foromost in noting those insults to Mr. Gladstone, and in adding to them, is that bluff old English Tory (bom in tho United States), tho accomplished but bigoted regular correspondent of the Tribune, George W. Smalloy. Ho is so intonso a hater of Homo Ireland and Mr.

Gladstone that the Tribune has had to hire an Irish member of Parliament, Mr. Gill, to counteract his letters. By alternating the dispatches of Smalley and Gill, Tribune readers have their Tory days and their Homo Rule days. Thoy pay their money and thoy take their choice. Mr.

Gladstone and Mr. Blaino when both wero last in power had a merry time in keeping American citizens of Irish birth in British jails. Tho prisoners, who had been arrested and confined without either charges or trial, wero finally released because of immouse indignation meetings held in tho United States. One of the largest was the meeting held in Buffalo, in December, 1881, over which Mayor elect Grovor Cloveland presided and at which he effectively spoke. Tho Blaine Gladstono policy of arbitrary arrests was then denounced and soon of torward changed by the Arthur Administration which rid itself of Secretary Blaino about that time.

He would have been dispensed with sooner but, perhaps, for tho lurid declaration of Mr. Ellis H. Roberts, oditor of tho Ulica Herald, to President Arthur. Mr. Roberts said to President Arthur: "If you do not keep Blaine in your Cabinet, you will be held to have been Guiteau'B accomplice in the as 6as6infttion of Garfield."
