Parker, when they push that gentleman along the path travel, oiled last year by the inventor and flrnt Ylctlmof the political expedient now gen-nfl' orally known as Thacherism I wJ Mr. Tiiachku gave hisnnmo to the deadly thing which he devised Just twelve months Af's ago. In this respect he resembled Dr.

ffl Joseph Ionace Guh.lotin. There Is a Ii widely accepted belief, baaed rather on a sense of dramatic propriety than on actual 'IB. historical facts, that Dr. Goxllotin per-t'l Ished at last by the guillotine. That Is not 1 to but It is true that TliAonER perished by Thacherism.

Thacherism in 1800 consisted in smother-Ing your principles and swallowing your former avowals, mcanwhllo keeping your heart and soul true to the right, and going to the polls and proudly and loyally voting for the wrong. It was an ingenious Idea, conceived In tho hopo of I carrying honest men over a troublesome po- littcal emergency, but It didn't work as expected. Thacherism lasted, as far as TilAcnER was concerned, for Just nine days. Then It ended TrtACHEn politically. Thacherism in 1807 Is thus defined by Mr.

Elliot Danfortii, the Chairman of the Democratic State Committed "Precedent prevents us from reaffirming any plat- form. Slats or national, while It la still In full fore and effect, but our failure to do to enablra avery county. dUtrlot, and municipal convention In the Btata to reaffirm Its allegiance, became It li always customary, and for this same reason the 8tate Com-' mlttae did nut Indoraa the party platform." That is to say, as far as concerns the State i ticket, tho still binding creed of Bryanizcd Democracy is to be covered up, Mr. Justice 1 Alton B.Pahkeii consenting, in order that the local and minor organizations may be i free to reaffirm that creed squarely and boldly perhaps 1 f. This is as clear as mud but the logic and ethics of Thacherism always are of tho crystalline clearness of mud.

Hr Bemcmber Joun Boyd TnAcnxn 1 HE British Ships In American Waters. i "We observe that the London Times H1 speaks of the departure of the Renown 1 from Portsmouth for Halifax as an occa- Hit. lion of exceptional interest in the modern Hfj. history of the navy." She is tho flagship HWi of YIce-Admlral Sir John Fisher, who re- lleves Sir James Erskink in command of tho North American and West Indies sta- tlon. The Times praises the abilities of the new Commander, who was recently lji.

Controller of the British Navy, and says HVt that the late Spithead review was in HLffljr large measure a witness of the energy and i fidelity with which he had discharged his Hi! I stupendous task." Hh I But the statement of special Interest is HH that the Renown is "the first modern bat- i tlesblp of the first class" that has ever been Ht 1 I lent to American waters. The Renown, Hj lays tho Times, Is the fastest battleship LaB-Jlt In the navy, the Immediate successor of II the Royal Sovereign class and the Im- mt mediate predecessor of the Majestic class, HJi ii combining many of the most valuable char- Hj; i acterlstica of both." It contrasts her with the Bellcrophon, a battleship once on this itation, and says that the Renown is not Hw 'J only strong herself, but tho representation of immense strength In reserve." We also observe in the despatches from HJ; Bermuda an account of the arrival there HJ' from England of the Charybdls, the Colum- HJ, bine, the Rocket, and the Quail. The last Hj two are recent types of fast torpedo boat Ht; destroyers, a class of vessels never till now, HJ If we are not mistaken, employed on the Hli American station. Altogether the increase Hfl' of British naval strength on this side of Ht i the Atlantic Is noteworthy. Violation of a Great Party Rule.

Hi If Tammany, at its forthcoming conven- H- Hon, shall fail to gtvo its Indorsement to H' the national platform of the Democratic party, us laid down at Chicago, it will be, Hb lo far as we can recall, tho first tlmo In Its history that the Columbian Ordor has aban- HJji floned tho Jeffcrsonlan practlco of combln- Hk Ing national. State, and local Issues In HaW, ivory contest at tho polls. That Is the his- HVJr toric policy on which the Democratic party H.fh wu ani1 it was tho rigid adher- Hlj inu) to it that gave tho purty those long HIKi, leases of national power which are almost Hv without parallel even in Great Britain, HSV where party government, in the modern HBk acceptation of the term, had its birth. Hlj In formulating the creed of tho party when he became President, Jefferson Hfl ij distinctly laid down the State and inunicl- HB pal as well as the national principles and HS' policies for which It should contend In HS every appeal to the people.

In fact, from the 'earliest days down, questlous of high Federal Import have beou it always combined with purely municipal ones, Hnd the evasion of them by Tammany yi'nr would mark the eradication of slmo-it the only llbrc uf Jeirersonlun prln.

How Jefferson rejoiced over every victory won under circumstances of this character may bo seen by tho subjoined oxtract from a letter to Gen. Deauiiornb, In which ho Bent his congratulations to ELiminoE Gerry on his rescue of Massachusetts from tho control of the Federalists: "Tell my old friend, Oorernor Onutr, that (It him Klory for the roasting lib which he nibbed down his herd of traitors. Let them hare justice and protection ag-alnit personal rlolence, but no faror. Towers and prominence conferred on them are daggers put Into the hands of assarslns to be planted In our bosoms In the momsnt the thrust can go home to the heart.

Moderation can nerer retain them. They derm It tlmM, and despise without fearlnt th lameness from which tt flows." Again, writing to Levi Lincoln In the first year of his administration aa President, Jefferson said: "Our gradual reforms seem to prodne good ef-teU (Terywhera ezoept In Connecticut. Their lata session of the Legislature has been more Intolerant than all others. We must meet thim there with equal Intolerance. When they have glten us ashare In the State oflloes they shall replaced In a share of the general offices.

Until then, we must follow their example." The great Jeffersonlan rule was never to glvo up prlnolples for any consideration whatsoever. Beyond all question, tho great majority of the Democrats of New York and Brooklyn still adhere to the principles of the Chicago platform. They are honest and sincere In their convictions and resolute In the support of them. It remains to be seen whether Tammany can whistle them off on a blind chase this fall. The English Language in Connecticut.

The voters of Connecticut at their town elections next month are to pass upon a proposed amendment to tho organic law of tho Nutmeg State. Tho present Constitution provides that every person shall be able to read any article of the Constitution, or any section of tho statutes of the State, beforo being admitted to tho rights of an elector. This provision was adopted In October, 1855. The other qualifications of an elector In Connecticut are thus described in tho Constitution: male citizen, twenty-one, who shall haTe resided In the state for one year, and In the town for six months, next preceding the.electlon and shall sustain a good moral character." There has been, as it appears, no difference of opinion as to what constitutes and what falls short of the requirements of a good moral character in Connecticut, but tho provision which relates to the ability to read any article of the Constitution or any section of the statutes of tho State" has been thought to be ambiguoUB. Some of tho election officers declare that such reading should be, and by law must be, In English, "while others have, with equal vigor, contended that the ability to read In any language tho Constitution or statutes was all tho law required.

By the Federal census of 1800 the foreign- horn population of Connecticut was and the number of foreign-born male persons over tho age of 21 was 78,415. At that tlmo 05 per cent, of the male voters in Connecticut were native born and IJ5 per cent, were foreign born. The ambiguity of the Constitutional provision has led to the acceptance in some counties of the votes of citizens having no intimate knowledge of English, and to the rejection In other counties of similar applicants. In order to bring about uniformity in tho matter there was submitted to the Legislature In 1805 a proposed amendment, which was ratified by both houses; and this year this amendment is to bo voted on by the people of the State. It Is as follows: "Every person shall bo able to read tho EnolUh language any article of the Constitution or any section of the statutes of the State before being admlttad as an elector." In other words, It will no longer be sufficient for an applicant for the rights of citizenship In Connecticut, if the proposed amendment is adopted, to demonstrate his educational proficiency by reading the Constitution In the language with which he is familiar; he must be able to read it In English.

The voters of the Stato are asked to give their sanction to this change, the practical effect of which will be to render uniform henceforth tho conditions of suffrage in Connecticut. The rejection of the amendment would do away with the requirement that English shall be spoken and understood. There is now a large Canadian French population In Connecticut. It is Increasing at a lively rate, and perhaps It Is on account of this that tho proposed amendment bus found favor; perhaps it is prompted by the desire of Connecticut electors generally to restrict the suffrage by excluding from It other newcomers. However that may be, tho question will bo voted upon next month and determined, so that In tho future this Constitutional provision muy be no longer Indefinite or ambiguous.

In New York State there Is no Constitutional requirement that English should be understood, cither by citizens or Sheriffs. lly Ilail to Hudson Hay. The project of building a railroad from Winnipeg to Hudson Bay, with a view to connecting the road with lino of steamers, the whole forming a now gruln routo to Europe by way of Hudson's Straits, has long been familiar. Hut while thutscheme Is still under consideration, a rival enterprise has lately appeared in tho proposed extension of the Quebec and Luke St. John Railway from its present terminus to.

lames Buy, which forms the southernmost purt of Hudson Bay, This project, of course, has no new grain routo In view, hut a plea of Hpeciul Interest Just now is made for it as a possible route from eastern Canada to tho Yukon gold fields. For this purpose there would bo water travel by Chestcrlleld Inlet and English Riveras well as by Hudson Bay. In addition, It is hoped that tho fisheries, tho timber, and the minerals of the Hudson Hay region muy furnish support for the prooosetl nuw road. The existing railway, It appears, is 100 miles long, extending to Hoberval, on Luke St. John, whilo tho dlstanco thence to James Hay would bo nearly twice as great, a considerable part of it through a hilly io-glon, but the beginning and nearly or quite all of tho northern half lying In comparatively level territory.

To the cost of construction would bo added that of uldlng people to Bettlo on the line of tho road, and also of shipping outfits for carrying on the fisheries In Hudson Hay. But these expenditures would bring returns In traffic, and if the great Inland sea could be reached In a couple of days and nlnhts from Quebec, thero might be some tourist travel, prompted by tho facilities for going without dis. comfort so far north, On tho other hand, a glance at tho map suggests that tho routo to the Yukon by way of Hudson Hay must bu tedious anil precarious. "When, by rail across the con- HHBBBHHBBBlBHHHii tlnent and by steamer thence to Dyea, peo-plo from Eastern Canada can arrive so near tho Klondike, region, tho effort to cross the enormous, uutruvcllcd area between Hudson Bay and the Klondike could hardly bo tempting. Yet thero Is no saying how much of tho continent to tho north of us may yet be redeemed, and this Hudson Bay project, llko tho one which seeks a new highway for tho wheat of the Saskatchewan region, may some day bo carried out.

The Clialnless Dioyclos. Slnco tho announcement last spring that the bicycle of 1808 would bo chalnless, wheelmen and wheolwomen havo beon Impatient to know all about the new machine. But wheel manufacturers have been very reticent on the subject, and llttlo Information was forthcoming. A representative of the Pravidtnct Journal, however, appears to have learned somo Interesting facts about tho coming wheel and tho Ideas of Its makers. It seems that tho chalnless modola of 1808 will bo llttlo different from the wheels of that sort which have been on exhibition during tho present year.

Practical teats have resulted In minor changes In the original design, but tho shaft and bevel gear remain. Thero are, however, two distinct ways of employing the gear. One Is to have the main driving cogwheel on the end of tho crank axle close to tho bearing, and another is to have the cogwheel midway between tho two bearings, or in tho centre of tho axle. By tho latter arrangement an equal amount of pressure is supposed to bo borne by each bearing. To add to the wheel's rigidity, Its lower forks and rear stays have been reinforced.

These modifications may help to overcomo the fear of mechanics that In chalnless wheels the framo Is too frail to withstand tho strain Imposed upon It. In the chalnless bicycle of 1808 tho question of friction is important. A rider of the ordinary bicycle must frequently tighten his chain because of the wear upon tt, whereas tt Is asserted that tho chalnless wheel may be run from 10,000 to 20,000 miles without any attention whatever being given to Its adjustment. Llttlo oil is required, and, as tho gear Is wholly Incased, no dust nor dirt can interfere with its movement. The weight of the new wheel for road use will be about twenty-nine pounds, or several pounds heavier than this year's chain variety.

It Is intimated that the new chalnless wheels will be sold for considerably more than $100, perhaps $125. It will be necessary for the public to give the machines a good test before being able to say what they are worth, but It must bo admitted that tho day of high-priced bicycles has gone by, and wheelmen are firm In their demand for lower prices.

"118 West NixXTrnrrn street." Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which Is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or children's, are little.

In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, In his intellect, as compared with tho boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping tho whole of truth and knowledge. Yes, Viroinia, there Is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainlv as love and generosity and devotion exlbt, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas 1 how dreary would be the world If there were no Santa Claus, It would be as dreary as If there were no VmoiNlAs. There would bo no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence.

We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The ctornal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. Not believe In Santa ClausI You might as well not believe In fairies i You might get your papa to hire men to watch In all tho chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Sunta Claus, but even If they did not seo Sautu Cluus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Sunta Claus, but that Is no sign that there Is no Santa Claus. The most real things In tho world are thoso that neither children nor men can sec. Did you ever see fulries duueingon the lawn? Of course not, but thut's no proof that they are not there.

Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable In tho world. You may tear apurt the baby's rattle and see what makes tho noise Inside, but there Is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor ecn the united strength of all the strongest men that ever livjid, could tear apart. Ouly fulth, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view antl plcturo tho supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is It all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding. No Suutu Cluus I Thank Gout hu lives, and he lives forever.

He says: "How any rcspoctnblo newspaper can uphold Tom Plntl, as tho Observer does.

Is a mystory to mo." This paper has not been nn upholder of Piatt except as ho has been nn exponent of Republicanism nnd sound money. Wo bellcvo that Mr. Piatt In true llopubltcanlsm nnd sound statesmanship Is far ahead of Seth Ixm. Can our correspondent tell us what Soth Low was doing a year ago, when Piatt nns nt St. Louis battling for honest money Did Low do anything to back him up I Is Low now In fnvor of the gold standard!

Why does not Mr. Low try to form a union with them to down Tammany! Our correspondent thinks Piatt Is "notono whit bettor than Croker." This Is the same view expressed by other Low oomors. How can thoy oxpeo Piatt to fall In lovo with people who continually rovilo him Mr. Low consented to run only If bo should become "a unliving force" nmong Tammany's opponents. Now that ho finds ho Is not a unifying force.

Is It honest for him to stay in th raco, in order to help In the election of the Tammany ticket! Tho groat question of honest money versus repudiation has not yet heen settled in this country.

Low. In honesty ami morality wo believe Mr. Pint Is the equal of Mr. Low. In mental ability.

In statesmanship, In capacity for the leadership of his fellow men. Low does not bear comparison with Mr. Piatt, Tho only hopo of defeating Tammany is through tho agency of Mr. Plat' and tho party which ho leads; If the Low boomers cannot unlto with them In this grand purpose thoy must not wonder that honest men doubt their sincerity.

To Tint Editor or Tin Sc SO: Are you willing to print the letter of a Low-minded man? Pardon the pun. Our candidate's name never did Inspire anything bnt puna In my mind: puns and a vague aense of dlaagreeable duty. I am going to vote for him for the aatne reasona that will influence hundreds of others. These reasons may Interest you. PoeelMy you can answer them.

If so you wilt relieve me of a great burden, th burden that conaclenoo sometimes Imposes on our Intellectual tastes. Low Is the perfect typo of the vlrtuoua commonplace. He Is as Innocent of wrongaaallttlep.perman cut out of a Sundsy school leaflet. Ue la tbe most average person I have ever known. Ue Is a copybook aphorism stereotyped on ruled lines.

To rns Editok or Tbe Svv Sir: In Sunday's Be, luan article on life In hospitals, I saw a statement to the effect that the prejudice among people against going to hospitals was slowly but surely disappearing, and I write this to ask why something shouldn't be systematically done to remove the prejudice completely and quickly I havo lieen sick seriously flvo times In my life (I am now 00), and the first three times my wire and family would not listen to my going to the hospital. Really way they talked about II you would have thought that a hospital was some kind of a dangerous and disreputable place. In each of these Illnesses the expense In money was between tiSO and 300, not to mention the upsetting of all our domestlo arrangements and the wear and ar on wife and daughters, my wife being In bed for three weeks a'terl got well.

Thefourth Illness neees-sllsted an operation which had to be performed at the hospital, aai when I had once fixed myself there I got the dootors to aay that It would be dangerous to move me. Th- result wastnat lllnesaof six weeks wsa pjssed in the hospital at a cost of $1Q0, tin upsetting of the home life, careful attention, th right kind of food served at the right time, cal'ers only when I should see them. and. genera ly speaking, auch an lm. provemeut over the old av that an entire change In the opinion of my family.

Pretty much everything that a man would require in an outfit for a lifetime was on exhibition nt tho American Institute Pair, which opened last night at Madison Squars Garden. This is the sixty-sixth exposition given by the institute and it will last for six weeks. It is a sort of object lesson In tho progress of lnven-tlvo genius, and tho various exhibits show the very latest of wbat Yankee ingenuity is doing, from tho ncwost improvements in bicycles to the fancy innovations ot tho up-to-date cooking schools.

Many of tbe exhibits were not ready for tbe opening, and the sccno at the Garden last night was made doubly busy by the hurry ot men putting up booths and of women decorating and arranging them. It usually takes two or three days to get the fair into running order. Meantime there was plenty to sec, tlie most complete exhibit of anv one Kind being the food show. The various booths wero furnishing samples to whomsoever cboe to ask, and a man could get more to eat and drink there In a short walk than he could In the palmy days of tho free lunch on any block In New York. Tho flower show, which will be one of tho features of the fair, had not vet started, but the art exhibition, which took up tho entire nsbembly room, attracted a crowd throughout tho evening.

Tho bicycle exhibits, of course, wcro surrounded by spectators. A very remarkable exhibit wns a machine which saws wood Into sheets 1-'J30 of an inch thick.

A spocdy termination' to the troubles in Uruguay was to have been expected after "he assassination of President Idlarte Uordu on Aug. 20 last. The Insurrection began about eighteen months ngo.soon after President Borda's election and was duo to arbitrary acts of misgov-eminent on his part, according to tho leaders of tho insurgents. When overtures toward rcconLlllntiou wcro mado by a Government commission shortly before President Ilordu's death, they fell through, as tlie tlrsl demand ot tbo insurgents was that tbo President should resign.
