If nominations are to receive the full and united support of the party in this city they must be so made as to meet the reasonable wishes of the mass of Republicans who desire only to promote the pnblio welfare through party action. It is to be hoped that the party managers appreciate the importance this year of good nominations, but the delegates should not oon- aider themselves the servants of the managers, but the representatives of the party ta its full extent The canvass is three weeks old.

White deflnes with clearness and fores the position of the independent Republic-ans who supported Mr. CXeteXaitd last year, and, guided by the same principles and purposes, are supporting Mr. jD ay export this year. In his exposition of independent aims Mr. Schcrz very properly pauses for a moment to rap the shallow pates of those persons who are continually talking about returning to this fold." We see no points of likeness between a sheep and an independent.

A sheep follows its leader blindly, even over a precipice and to the breaking of its neck an independent is his own leader, and he keeps his eyes open. sheep is one of the most timid of animals; an independent one of the most- courageous. A sheep will starve in a bare and rocky pasture rather than brave the perils of separation from the flock to gain the juicy clover just over the fence; an independent would jump over the gates of Jerusalem all alone to get away from a bad candidate. A sheep scurries to the fold at night for warmth and shelter; an independent positively: enjoys a temperature of 97 below zero, and he doesn't mind a pouring rain of sneers. And, finally, when all around him is a dreary wate of bad political ideas and spoils candidates, he can do what no sheep ever could he can climb a tree and fatten on the upper ether untl one party or the other has the virtue and the sense to adopt his principles.

In commenting upon Senatorial nominations the other day we spoke of Mr. Knapp, who has been nominated in the Twentieth District, as a man whose judgment was likely to be swsyed too much by Mr. Oleabon, of St Lawrence 'Coun ty, who is by no means a worthy political guide and mentor. This estimate of Mr. Knapp was based upon remarks attributed to ex-Senator Gilbert.

We are assured by friends of Mr. Knapp that he is a clear-headed man, quite capable of thinking for himself, and that he is likely to make a good Senator. We are very glad to do Mr. Knapp the justice of substituting this friendly judgment of his character and promise for the unfavorable opinion previously expressed. At the same time we feel that the irritation which doubtless prompted ex-Senator Gilbert's criticisms is entirely pardonable.

John Gilbert has been an able, honest, and extremely creditable representative in the Senate of the district composed of the counties of St Lawrence, Franklin, and Lewia He has served but one term. He should have been renominated1 and reelected, not only this year, but in 1887, and until the Twentieth District could find a better man, or was willing to confer other and higher honors upon Mr. Gilbert. He falls a victim to that most absurd, weak, petty, and harmful system which prematurely displaces a legislator, no matter how honorable and useful may have been his service, in order that some other county may have its turn." This miserable pandering to a false local pride has many times cost the Republican Party in this State a representative in Congress, in the Senate, or in the Assembly. It is time the' ancient and injurious precedent were dishonored and permanently set aside.

It is doubtful if anything has been lost in the State canvass thus far by the lack of speechifying in behalf of the various candidates. Considering the lack of discretion which is apt to characterize the party speaker nowadays the announcement of speeches yet to come in various parts of the State is rather disquieting than reassuring. A spontaneous seal and generosity, born of the grief felt at a great natkBnal calamity, can no longer be relied on for inducing subscriptions to the Grant Monument fund. The time for sitting quietly in an office and signing receipts for money voluntarily tendered has passed, and the time for the thorough organization of collection bureaus from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Canada to Mexico has come. Th association having the fund in charge is now engaged in making arrangements from which great results are confidently expected, but their work can, and should, be ably supplemented by the efforts of individuals.

The Summer wanderers from the city have returned to their homes, the season for social entertainments is opening, and men and women who have the success of the Grant memorial at heart may now find time and opportunity to increase the nnd materially by their exertions. Every dollar contributed hlpa to swell the grand total and bring it nearer to the amount required. Collections made at tea parties and receipts from amateur theatricals and other social entertainments may be made before the end of the seasonc to increase the fund to an extent which cannot be estimated in advance. Certainly no worthier cause for the labor of men and women can be suggested than that of rearing to the memory of America's great hero-a memorial which shall fittingly commemorate his deeds and character. The news from India is not encouraging to American wheat growers who would like to sell their surplus wheat at a good price.

The fall of exchanges and the low price of silver have stimulated exportation from that country, and preparations are being made for enormous shipments. Meanwhile the price of wheat in our markets has been raised to figures that have almost completely checked exportation. A crreepondent of the St Paul' Pioneer Pre, writing from Cawnpore, says that th total amount of wheat exported from India this year may reach 50,000,000 bushels. The discovery of twenty cases of smallpox in a Wisconsin town, to which' the disease was brought from Montreal, shows that a thorough inspection service is Battrded on git lines ot cojamunicstion bs- twien that city and th United States, Th are rumor that th disease has Bp-pea red in several places on this side of th border where its existence has not bsx a reported for the information of the pu ilia. At last Gov.

Box has asked ths Na ional Government to assist the State Board of Health in the work of excluding tbW disease from this State. This action mi ght well have been taken at an earlier dal although the State Board could have doi ie the necessary work without assistant if the Governor had not cut off its su plies. ISCINNATI ELECTION FRAUDS. he people of Cincinnati are greatly ex-dt over the frauds upon the ballot box wk ich were committed at the election in thi city on Tuesday. If the reports ws ha' re received are true, they have good res ton for their wrath, but they will be vei foolish if they do not confine its ex-prcssion- to vigorous but lawful efforts to secure the punishment of th perpetrators.

Crimes against the rig it of suffrage are Xhe meanest as we 1 as 'the most dangerous of political off inses. In the long run, there is nothing to be gained by them for the party wfc ich they are intended to benefit, any mc re than there is by any other form of cri ne. A 'political party can afford to sui 'er defeat, but it cannot afford to bear th reputation of seeking power by un-scripulous and dishonorable methoda Ev though Eealons partisans belie' ed that great publio interests would be endangered or deeply injured by th success of their opponents, they oot id not justify themselves in countenancing election frauds as a means of avi rting the danger or the injury. The ma jority must rule in this country, and wh en ths consequences are bad, as they sot letimes are, the only resource is to en-du them until the majority is sufficiently enlightened or sufficiently awakened to ap ly the remedy. tut in this case there is no pretense thi evil is done that good, even of a tempo ary character, may coma An effort wa made to defeat the will of the people by a disreputable gang, incited and con-trc led by selfish men seeking, not the public good, but their own personal advance-me nt Their methods cannot be coun tens, iced or even excused by decent Demo crtts in Cincinnati or elsewhere.

The offenders are not a party but a few mkless men who, by corrupt means, tai (lpered with the machinery of election in Ihe hope of gaining their own ends by sh; frauds. Their principal insti-ga or appears to be the unscrupulous ed-ito of the Cincinnati fngut'rer, who has do ie more to debauch the politics of Ohio an 1 disgrace the party which be professes to rapport than any other half dozen men in State. His object was to promote hit own election to the United States Senate where his presence would be a calamity to the cause of good government and dent politics. It is to be hoped that thi committee of citizens who has under-tal en the work of vindicating the law an i the rights of the people will not be de erred from any effort that may be poe-sib le to fix upon him the responsibility foi his conduct, and to exact the fullest pe; talty for his acts. failure to enforce the laws against ot! er crimes led not so very long ago to an outbreak of indignation in the city of Ci icinnati, which resulted in shameful and de itructive riot If election frauds are per-mi tted to go unpunished, they may yet cu minate in similar attempts to work ve igeance where justice is denied.

It is a lerilous thing thus to provoke a popula-tic to break over the barriers of legal rest aint, for it lets loose the elements of law-lee sness that delight in scenes of violence, A imely and determined. stand for the en-foi cement of the penalties for violated la' and outraged right will be the best mi for averting such a calamity, while it will at the same time put a check upon th evil which rouses the popular indig-na tion. 3ut what Cincinnati most needs is bet-tei safeguards for the right of suffrage and the purity of the ballot box. This cjl years ago went through the experi-en ces which Chicago and Cincinnati have bv lately attained and it led to the enactment of election laws which last year stiod a test such as can seldom come. "Wthen the election of the whole country, involving a change of party control for th first time in twenty-four years, turned uj on a few hundred votes here, the whole wi tight of the struggle for ascendency was nc sufficient to break a single ballot box or falsify a single vote.

This was due to the fact that registration was complete ar final some days before election, that be th parties had the legal right to repre-se Station in every polling place, that vot-in must cease at a certain hour, and the billots be then and there counted and stroyed, and the returns made without acjournment or delay. The result was fi: ed the same night in every vot-inr precinct without a chance of con-i ltation or collusion or of subsequent ts mpering. Once the returns were made, tfc ere was no power to change them be-y nd the correction of errors on their face. lis, with severe penalties for any infracts in or neglect of the requirements of the la has put an end to election frauds re. The lesson should be accepted wher-ei er it is needed, and Ohio is one of the Slates which clearly needs the ironclad pi otection for th ballot box which New-Y wk has adopted.

THE BALKAN STRUGGLE. Servia has at last crossed the Bulgarian frontier in and the difficulty of securing a peaceful solution of the problem is at onoe greatly increased. Yet of the great powers now watching the progress of events in the peninsula at least fourEngland, Germany, France, and Italy certainly favor peace. Apparently it could not be very difficult for them to agree on a common line of action and to support it with effective strength, regardless of the rivalry of Russia and Austria for preponderance there. But their Ambassadors appeal for more time to secure a complete understanding, and not one of these powers seems willing to take the responsibility of interfering decisively.

The situation, to be sure, is so complicated that Governments not Immediately concerned may well hesitate to intervene. When Servia and Greece oppose Bulgarian unity, and Turkey is also in arms to oppose it, and yet the two former are eager to attack Turkey, the affair is one that the more distant nations must have little taste for unraveling. Yet as the more distant powers helped make the treaty of Berlin they can do better than shirk responsibility now? England, under Lord BeaconbtteXD, was among the foremost to undo in the congress of Berlin that scheme of Bulgarian union which the treaty of San Stefano had established. As the Conservatives are again in power, and Beaoonspteld's companion at Berlin is now Premier, one might at first suppose that the British Government would renew its objections to Bulgarian unity and demand the restoration of the treaty status in Roumelia. But the elections in Great Britain are coming on, and Lord Salisbury has something else to do than to repress the movement of a Christian people for race unity and for greater freedom from the detested Turk, Gladstone, Fobstek, the Duke of Argyll, and other prominent British statesmen have been appealed to by Roumelians for encouragement, and have generally given it Some of the Conservative papers actually accused Mr.

Gladstone of complicity in the Roume-lian revolution, and significantly pointed to its occurrence on the very day when, he had issued a manifesto in which England's duty to aid the liberties of small States in the East was referred to. The Metropolitan of Bucharest, Pan a ret Rascbept, thanked the Daily News, in behalf of all Bulgarians, for its support of the lesser nations. Lord Salisbury cannot now wish to enforce that partition of the Bulgarian population which he helped to arrange at Berlin, Still it must be admitted that the Liberal expectations that the Roumelian revolt would embarrass the Marquis of Salisbury have not been fulfilled. The London newspaper most nearly representing him did at the outset pronounce Prince Alexander's move foolish, a violation of European law and order, and unendurable; but since then Lord Salisbury's own utterance has been at once careful and free from embarrassment Yet the upshot, after all, is that while a Conservative Government is always looked to for decided action in Eastern affairs, England thus far seems to have done little or nothing. France, also follows the policy of caution.

No doubt her own elections have preoccupied her, but the indifference seems ingrained. Popular opinion inclines generally to support England's diplomacy according to the traditional French policy in the Orient La France has urged Turkey to march into Roumelia and suppress the revolt before she forever loses her frontier, and before Macedonia also rises; it even insists that the Balkan Peninsula, being made op of mingled races, cannot be divided geographically into complete nationalities, and that the departure of the Turk across the Bosphorus would be the signal for anarchy and chaos in the places he should quit But in general French opinion seems to wait upon events. Germany appears no less dilatory and cautious. The Chancellor presumably can count on the support of England and Italy in any just solution of the Balkan problem, and probably upon that of Austria and France. Yet while several contradictory views have been imputed to him, none has been officially promulgated.

Italy, although she has a possible stake in Albania, which Germany, France, and England have not, is as reticent as they. The rivalry of Austria and Russia in the peninsula, in short, seems to dissuade the other great powers from effective interference there, It is perhaps felt to be incumbent on these two to make some move to solve the problem. Austria, however, is evidently anxious to take or recommend no step which might prevent ber from eventually extending her own domain to Salon ica. while Russia will pat no obstacle in her path to Constantinople. Thus the caution prevailing at Berlin, Paris, London, and Rome has hitherto been supplemented few a different reason by the wariness of Vienna aad St Petersburg, and meanwhile little capitals of Athens, Belgrade, Bucliarest, Sophia, and Philippopoiis make all the stir and threaten to set Southeastern Europe aflame.

Evidently something more decisive than individual advice to Greece and Servia to disarm given by powers not yet acting in concert will needed to check th daa. ger of war, bow become ImniTnent trthe tapatientmowofiV RATIONAL TEMPERANCE. Ths problem of cbecfcjsx Jniperance in a society lik ours is en of th most difficult ever forced on legislator. The earnest reformer, seeing the fearful evCs following in the train of alcoholic drinks, finds th most direct and certain cur in an absolute prohibition of them. But in a community lik OUTS New -York this is practically impossible.

Four-fifths of our population are accustomed from child hood in their native countries to th freest poeafbl us of them. Those from wine-growing districts are used to associate the rjieasantest hours of home and social life with the tin-checked enjoyment of these beverag. And when reminded of th evils that follow their abuse they recall a much more temperate habit of life than they behold here, where law continually seeks to control social enjoyments. It is very much for the benefit of the whole publio that a temperance movement has arisen in this State, and especially under th stimulus of th Episcopal Church, which recognizes th great practical difference between drinking habits, and seeks to influence legislation accordingly. The Church Temperance Society, working with th Society for th Prevention of Crime and various philanthropic citizens, has drawn up an excise bill which will be offered to the next Legislature, It is ths most advanced and reasonable measure on this subject which has yet been presented to that body, and will be supported by a very powerful following both in this city and th Th prominent feature of th bill is high license.

In all cities of more than 800,000 population a liquor license is to cost in all other cities, towns, and villages not less than $500. A wine and beer license in cities of more than 800,000 to be rated at $500, and in other towns and villages at $350; malt liquors and cider to tbsold in large cities for a license of $i00, and in smaller for $50. The percentage of alcohol determines the classification of these beverages si liquors, beer, or wine. It will be seen at once that such a provision would entirely break up numbers of liquor and beer shops throughout the city and State, and would throw the others remaining under stricter supervision and responsibility. The sale of liquors in many small towns would become impossible, except to be taken horn or to be used as medicines.

A new and important Jsection of the law requires, in all large cities, th publication of the nam and address of the applicant at least one week; before the license is granted. This give an opportunity to know more fully th character of the applicant, especially as other important pro visions forbid released convicts from holding licenses and any premises to be used for liquor selling during one year after the license has been revoked. These and similar provisions will lessen many of the evils from which we now suffer in the sale of liquors. The sale of liquors to minors or on excursion boats or in tenement houses is forbidden, and all -sale on Sundays or election days and between midnight and 6 o'clock in the morning. A special provision also prohibits all sales or gifts of liquors in any building where amusements or exhibitions are furnished.

The customary efforts of liquor sellers to conceal their business by screens or partitions and by the use of side doors ar met by sever enactments. Debts for intoxicating drinks cannot be recovered by suit, except from lodgers in a hotel or inn. A protection is given to the wife or husband of a drunken partner in a section which enable the sober one to issue written notices to all liquor sellers interested forbidding them to sell to the other under a penalty of $50 and costs. Great car is taken throughout the proposed law that no provision infringe upon the Civil Damage act or the local option law. In general, it may be said that this new act is up to the high water mark of the most advanced temperance legislation, p.t reformers now throughout the country hold that the best laws against drunkenness come under the three heads of high license, local option, and civil damage penalty.

Let all in this city interested in lessening the fearful evils from intoxication labor for this proposed act, which includes these principles. WJJ ELBOW ROOM IN TEXAS. The Governor of Texas is determined that his descendants shall not be pushed into the Gulf of Mexico by a horde of immigrants. Some months ago a gentleman who proposed to bring several hundred persons into the State and set them at work upon unoccupied farming lands appealed to him for such aid as he could giVe in a letter favoring a development of the State's agricultural resources. "I have not thought it replied the Governor, to set on foot immigration projects.

I am not satisfied that such labor will redound to the prosperity or happiness of ourselves or our children. Our descendants will be elbowing each other into the seas in order to find standing room in th near future. We have enough population for self-protection." Now that Gov. Ireland has become a candidate for the United States Senate the disappointed immigration agent publishes his letter, so that the people may know what the Governor's ideas are about the coming struggle for existence in his State, The area of Texas is 170,099,200 acres. The population in 1880 was 1,531,748.

In that year the average allowanc of space for each" inhabitant was more than 100 acres. Probably is is not lee than 80 acres now. If there were 40,000,000 persons in the State th average allowanc for each would still be more than 4 acres, Nevertheless the Governor sees "in the near future" his children fighting there for "standing room" and falling off th edge into the Gulf. Th Governor's imagination is surpassed only by his foresight and desire tobe-friend posterity. It may appear, 'how- ertx.

after the Senatorial eiectkm shallj have taken place, that the people, va-miadfol of hit regard for their dsecead-smt have passed by( the kind-hearted plAUthjroplst and 4 a practical man who wastes no time prying Into the future.
