THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLEMONDAY, JULY 1891. BIX PAGES. PEKSONAL MENTION. GIVES NO SIGN BOODY'S VIEWS. A.

J10XDAT EVENING, JULY 1891. IK 7 and civilization." That ia certainly more like the way in whloli diplomatists of tho Talleyrand or Beaconsfield brand would havo worked the racket on Hyppolite. As a general rule, it doesn't do to tell the truth in diplomaoy. It is, in fact, the art lying judiciously. Wo know that the Gherardi plan failed, but wo have no assurance that the subtle prevarication of the method suggested by Mr.

Douglass would havo been successful. There is a strong impression that Hyppolite doesn't dare to make the concession. Ho Is looking out for No. 1 all tho tirno. Wo shall be glad now to hear from tho admiral.

basis with a depreciated standard of value, and. as Mr. Boody shows, pay for our foreign goods in sold and sell ours in silver, or pay out 100 centa for a dollar's worth of othor people's things, and receive perhaps 70 cents for a dollar worth of our own. While the country may ueod a larger volume of ourreuoy, oapecially in the South and West, free coinage bad hotter wait until it 1b Iobb or what our honoat and bravo ex President called a reoklesa experiment" Mr, Boody's expression on tho farmers' alliance, like that on tho silver question, 1b eminently fair and we think hie conclusion justified. The people, and particularly tho farmers, aro groping for a solution of tho problems that bother thom, Thoy have found light on the tariff humbug and bo far arp on tho right road.

Tho Peffors aro trying to lead them a danoe on tho money question, but in duo season wo hope tho Clevelauds will show them tho true way and be as lampB to their feet. HUUn HOOAULL PLEASURE CLUB. politics aud was boriton by Lucius Robinson in 187G. Charle3 J. Folger did not explain the relation of his nomination to a forged telegram and to a seat stealing comruitteo on credentials, and he was loft at home by a large majority.

Ira Davenport did riot explain his relations as a temperance man to a wine factory and was beaten. Warner Miller did not explain the offect of high license on lager beer and ho got left, too. Since 1881 the Republican ticket has never beou electod in this state, because the explanations necessary to be made and tho excuses necessarily offered for tho nominees did not suffice. Tho Newburg Journal may bo able to presumo that its readers have no momory or U30 none, but it errs in extending such a notion to its coutemnoraries. pocially ludicrous for those who applaud the ohauge, who rejoice that he accomplished it, to wax wroth at recognition of it.

Certainly to fall foul of the froely speaking clergyman in Hanson place is a poor compliment to Mr. Beecher himself, who was a stout champion of tho freest kind of free speech. Brooklyn Dixon preached yesterday on "The Fatherhood of God," showing clearly that he had not boon frightened from his orthodoxy. The Episcopal Church of the Ascension was dedicated yesterday by Bishop Little john at Rqckvillo Center. This is cathedral fruit.

From an Incarnntion mission it has expanded into an indopondent parish. Tho sermon was by Dean Cox, who dwelt upon the significance and use of a house of prayer. The Methodists of Freeporthave completed a now church which was opened yesterday. Tho edifice is commodious, suitable and attractive. A debt of 8,800 was discharged by prompt subscriptions, so that Bishop Andrews, who preached tho morning sermon, was able to dedicate an unincumbered building.

This is an excellent example for larger places and moro ambitious temples. In the evening Dr. Reed of Dickinson college, well known in Brooklyn, was tho preacher. The Oswego Palladium, which, wo observe, has recently put on a new dress of typo, prefers Mr. Flower to Mr.

Chapin as a Democratic nominee for governor. It has a right to its preference, but should not indulge the notion that Mr. Flower's nomination will not call for as much defensive work as Mr. Chapin's, to say the least. The Eaole has nothing to say against Mr.

Flower, becauso it does not believe that his character or his practical capacity can be truthfully assailed. Neither can Mr. Chapin's, whoso one error in water matters puts him on the defensive to no greater extent than Mr. Flower's railroad corporation affiliations put him. Tho Palladium's predictions about Mr.

Flower's great running strength in tho state must bo based on faith alone. Tho only Emperor William yesterday morninir inspected the Life guards and tho Scots guards and afterward attonded churoh in company with the British royal family. Rev. Dr. Snurffoon's condition ia alarming.

But alack and alasl Notwithstanding all, tho boom of Mr. Itblgway for tho attorney genoral shlpoftho stato is over. The higher powers have ordered him to stand off and he has meekly obeyed the command. Ho covers his retreat as follows: "I am not a candidato for attorney geuoral and never hare been. Tho delegation from this county wilt demand, in my judgment, the nomination of Mr.

Chapin for governor, and will de mand and accopt nothing else." Tho explanation lies in tho second sentence. Tho Kings county Democrats aro going to try for the governorship for Brooklyn's mayor, and aro going to unite all their forces on him alone. Thoy are determined to havo tho governorship or nothing. If thoy succeed in securing tho nomination it will bo tho first timo thoy ever have sucescdod. All other aspirants for all other offices are laid ouo side that nothing might interfere with tho Chapin boom.

Tho impression had got abroad that the Kings county men wore for Chapiu meroly becauso it was natural thoy should be, and not because they hoped ho would succeed in getting it, whilo they really hoped to secjire the attorney generalship for Ridgway. This impression would interforo, of course, with Mr. Chapin's chances, if gonuino, and tho result has boon that tho leaders show tho sincerity of their endeavors on Chapin's behalf by sotting Rid aside. In truth Mr. Chapin would bo a mighty promising candidate under tho changed aspect of affairs.

He is clean handod, clever and a gontioman at nllorents. Mall and July 3. Hand bills bearing the following have beon circulated throughout Ohio: "A Pointer Past exporioncc should teach tho Democrats of Ohio that as long as tho Cincinnati Enquirer is allowed to dictate and shape their policy, so long will the party suffer defoat."

Sino Swo, N. July 0. The objective point of interest in this placo yesterday was tho state prison. Although It was generally understood that no ono would bo allowed inside tho prison hundreds of persons visitod Friflon hill and gazed and gazed at tho blank walla of tho building as if they would road what waa transpiring inside. Even after midnight people visitod tho spot, but were ordered off by tho armod guard, who havo been pluced on all tho approaches to the priaon.

No one was allowied to pass this guard. During tho whole night the village waa agl tatod as to tho question whethor the four condemned men would Buffer the penalty of their crime during tho hours botweon midnight and dawn. The most conflicting and absurd reports wore spread about. Standing on tho hill overlooking tho prison it was seen that thero wa6 much activity in tho prison. Tho building itBtlf waB illuminated, and tho frequent rnmblo of wheels announced the arrival of visitors.

The cabs continued to arrive until long after midnight, and tho opinion was that their occupants wore the jury and tho doctors, who were to bo witnesses of tho tragedy. Tho chair in which tho condemned men will Buffer tho death ponalty is a substantial as well as comfortable looking pieco of woodworkers' mechanism, and, with tho connections with the dynamo, was designed by Captain Ililbert. the prison machinist, under whose suporvirior. it was built. It is constructed in a very workmanlike manner and differs very materially from tho chair nsed in tho execution of Kemlcr at Auburn prison.

The chair ia located in a room Just south of that occupied by tho cells of the condemned men, which Is onterod by a door opening from the passage which runs in front of their cells. The room is 50 feet long by wide, ami ia perfectly bare except for the muslin curtained windows through which light is abundance comes. The addition in which tho death chamber is located is the last ono hnllt and is a one story frame structure. As the visitor enters the room of execution ho faces the chair, which is placed at the opposite end. This itriicle of furniture, which is an object of terror to tho four men, is very solid.

Tho seat is broad, and tho back, on which a heavy head rest is constructed, has a slight curve. Above tho rest aud fastened to the back by a long strip is a figure "4," which is intended to reHt on the hoad ot the occupant. It is through tho wire in this that tho current passes. Bfsido this there are a number of straps used to secure tho prisonor position after ho has taken his seat ill the chair. The chair faces the oust and directly behind It is a low cabinet for the uso of tho man who turns on tho current, who in thus out of sight of everybody.

Its sides, however do not reach tho ceiling, so the operator can have plenty of ventilation. Directly back of the cabinet, against which tho cabinet Htands, is a door leading directly to the dynamo room. On the side of the cabinet is a sliding door which, on being opened, reveals tho switch board by which lho signals are given to tho operator, who stands in the cabinet and turns on tho fatal current. The first object which meete tho eye is a card of printed dirtc tious, which aro framed ami read as follows: "Five bells (lot ready. One bell Turn on enr ro Two bells Turn on more current.

Three bobs Less current. One boll Shut off current. Six bolls All through." Underneath the directions is a littlo electric bell button, which is pressed to givo the signal to the operator. Next tha phear.l is tho test switch. This switch turns on thn current into a dozen or more incandescent lights at tho top of the switchboard and also into tho ammeter and voltmeter, which aro in tho side with the resistance lox.

All these aro arranged to bud tho strength of the current bofore it is put in opera tion on tho condemned man. There is another I switch by which tho current can be directly connected with the wire le. Ltiing to the chair. Tho man at tha switchboard, however, cannot turn tho current thrnu 'li the occupant of the chair, this being entirely the province of tho man who stands behind the cabinet and operates tho awitcb located there, whiclj is connected directly with the occupant of the chair. Captain Ililbert, tbo designer of tho chair, is proud of its completeness aud especially of tho code of signal.

The failure of theso in the Kemmler case was ono of the things that made that execution such a horrible Tim captain, in speaking of his device, asserts that it is ablo to kill twenty fivo men an hour. He has made an improvement on tho arrangement of the electrodes, which differs materially from that of the Kemmler case. In tho latter tho current was passed directly through tho body and heart. Tho inventor of the Sing Sing chair has a now plan for applying tho electricity to the wriata or to one wrist and an ankle. The night passed away quietly in the neighborhood of the state prison.

At intervals hacks drovo up and drove away again, bearing loads of new paper men. The prison officials did evory hing tliey could to make 'the time pass pleasantly. A generous supply of coffoo, which had been made for tho guards, was put in genera! circulation. Nothing waa aeon of tho warden or any of the witnesses during the night The warden's son advised tho watchers to go away aud got four or fivo hours' sleep, but thoy would not take hia advice, and so he up to keep thom company. Everyone about the prison professed ignorance of tho warden's whereabouts.

It was generally behoved that he was off somewhere getting together his witnesses, and the river front was patrolled until a lato hour for tho possiblo landing of a special boat with the execution party on board. As tho gray dawn crept up iu the the weary watchers gave up tho idea of a special boat or a special train, and most of them 'Hastened away to catch a few hours' sleep. The warden was expected on the train from Albany. It is an express which does not stop at Sing Sing, but it was thought that it might have received special orders to stop for tho warden. The train swept through the town, however, at its usual rate of speed.

Tim first arrival of any interest was ox Warden Brnsh, Mr. Brown's predecessor. Ho drovo up to the prison enirauco at mid carried a big yellow traveling bag into the warden's olllee, where he had a warm greeting from his old sub ordiuates. Twenty minutes later Warden Dura ton of Auburn, the man who executed Kemmler, was seen walking down tho road, and the newspaper reporter? who were sitting on the grass across tho road from the prison entrance, went down in a body to greet him. Ho shook hands with all of them, but in response to questions, sail he knew nothing of the arrangements for tho execution, lie said, however, that he expected to go to New York to night or to morrow, and to return to Auburn on Wednesday, ne said that tho warden of Dannomora would uot bo here.

At 7:48 the buckboardof tho warden appeared, coming down the road to tho prison, tho warden's son driving and tho warden sitting beside him. Tho warden looked as though he had not had much Bleep in tho last twenty fuu hours. His face was palo and thero were deep rings around hia eyes. Ho greoted the littlo group of newspaper reporters cordially and passed on to his office. The first thing ha did was to issue an order to the guard to keep everyone away from tho office and the walk iu front of it.

"I've got to keep you peoplo away now," ho said to the correspondent of tbo United press. "I've treated you as oordially as I know how, and given you overy facility possiblo, but to day I must have ray house to mysolf. I havo a big Job ahead of me and I must have a chano to rest and bo quiet. If I havo anything official a stay or anything like that I will como out and givo it to you." Tho warden declined to say where he was last night. He would not deny tho statement that ha had been at Albany, but ho would uot confirm it To a question whether there was any chanco of the execution occurring to day he would only reply "You must uso your own judgment about that" A statement was made from a semi official source, however, that thero would bo no execution to day that it would eccur iu all likelihood at daybreak to morrow, Tho condemned men spent a quiet, restful night.

When Heaukoepor Connaughtou visited their cells at 7 o'clock this morning all of them were stiti sleeping. The night watch said that they had slept well all through the night It wis 8 o'clock when the first signs of awakening oamo to them. By 8 :30 thoy had dressed themselves, made their beds and tidied up their rooms. All of them seemed to bo in as good spirits as on yesterday. Breakfast was Borved to them from tho hospital kitchen at 8:10.

Allof them ate well and seemed to onjoy the meal. Thero wero three departures from tho prison duriiie 'ho morning. Tho two priests, Father Crecden and Fathor Lynch, who had been in tho condemned cells for nearly an hour.went away in a carriage at 9:30. Warden Brush took his yellow traveling bag and duster and went away at lliOO. Before his departure ho pail avlait to the newspaper colony on tho roadsido and announced that he had not como to Sing Sinz to attend tho execution; that he had come hero on other business and did not know at the time of his coming that the executiou was to take place to day.

Word was received from a number of the witnesses during the morniug that thoy were on their way to tho priaon aud that they would bo here thia afternoon, and It is altogether likely that the executions, or one ot them, will take placo bofore sundown to day.

Ken Yorkt The Congressman on the Political Situation.

He Giros a Maine Ncwspapjr His pinions en Landing; Candidates for the Spualiersliip, on tha Tariff, SilTor Cein aero and the Farmert' Alliance. Congressman David A. Boodyi who is visiting his mother in Bolfast, has beon interviewed on tho existing political situation. The Age of that placo publishes tho following account of tho interview i Congressman eleot David A. Boody of Brooklyn, N.

for a number of years promiuont in business and political oircles In Now York and his own city of churches, has been In Belfast for the paBt week Visiting hiH widowed mother. Mr. Boody is a native of this county und at one timn studied Taw iu thn oity. About twenty years ago he moTOd to Brooklyn, his presont homo, although ii is principal business has heeu across tho river iu Wall Btrest, ho being a member of tho Now York stock exchange. Last fall ho was elected as a Democrat to the national houue of represanta tivea from his Brooklyn district by a heavy majority.

Ho in very popular at home, is in demand as a speaker and thoroughly well informed on the vital political questions of the day. There is no doubt that "the favorite son of Brooklyn," as ho has been called, will take a leading position in the New York delegation in the next congress. His views, therefore, on tho political questions that now agitato the publio mind are of decided iintjieaL unu importance. Knowing this an Age reporter was sont to Mrs. Boody's modest homo on Court street to interview her distinguished sou on tho issues of the day.

Tho congressman elect had just returnod from a trip to his wifo'a folks at Orouo, and was doubtless tired, but ho received tho Age man with groat kindness. Mr. Boody is a man of lino presence, with smooth shavon, clear cut face, lighted by a pair of ploasant, dark oyea. Heap pears to bo about 50 years of ago. Ho spoke of his birth placo in JackBon, and the time he was a Bti'UKBlini: young lawyer in Belfast.

Finally the political situation waa reached, and to the Age lie freely expressed his opinion on several important issued. On being asked the probablo winner of the coming speakership contest he replied; "The names moat prominently mentioned up to this timo are Mills, Crisp, Mc.Milliu and Springer, all of them men of ability and character, gentlemen whom the nartv wmthl plnr! to honor, and all of them abundantly qualilied for the duties'of (lie Kpealceiihip. "It may bo thought, however, that the long'and faithful service which Mr. Mills has rendered in opposition to the evils of a tariff which tho country has so plainly and so emphatically condemned should give him a special claim upon the gratitude of the party and the country." "Will tho tariff bo ttie chief issuo of tho next presidential light asked the reporter. Mr.

Buody emphatically answered: "I cannot think thore is any doubt that this question will again be tho issue in tho next national campaign. Tho llcpuhlicau party occupies an unfortunate porition in regard to this question. They would gladly escape from it if they could. But they cannot, becauso the men who derive speoial advantages from this unequal au 1 unjust system of taxation control tho party policy aud furnish the means for conducting its campaigns. "fhe partyhas no other issue.no other question which will act as a cohesive quality.

Its position iB similar to that of the Democratic party whon tho Hlavery question was before tho peoplo. Its fortune is bound up with thoso who are personally interested in tho issuo. "The most thoughtful, conscientious men regard the tariff question as, in part at least, a moral question. Thoy cannot, without doing violence to their sense of justice and their idea of tho spirit and purpose of our government, sanction a system of taxation which ia not for public purposes, but which simply obliges tho many to cuntribtito to increase the wealth of the few. "This is why tho young men, the educational institutions, tho moral powor of the nation, aro coming to bo so thoroughly auti tariff or anti extortion in political sentiment.

That vory ablo mtiu, Mr. Blame, whose ability always commauds my respect, already sees tho tendency of tho times, already hoars the demand of the people and seeks to satisfy it by his reciprocity policy. Another great statesman, Stephen A. Doughias, also tried in his timo to stem the tide of popular opinion by compromise measures. History toils the l'OSIllt.

"flow about the free coinage of silver?" was asked. "fhe froo coinage of silver is a question differing greatly in character from tho tariff question. Its prominence is tho result of two cans; tho Personal interest of those eugaiiud in silver production and the legitimate demand for a larger supply of money in those rapidly developing sections of our country locstsd in the West and South. N'o other nation in the world has anything to eouuxiro with our oonst.tntly increasing area of population and bun'ness activity requiring yearly a larger supply of the circulating medio in. this increasing activity has been in progress the operation of our iniquitous tal ill' sy.

teni has actually for years at a time lucked up $100,000,000 of money which should have been in the hands of the people accommodating tlieir wants. Tho tariff moro than any other cause Beeuis responsible for the silver agitation. "1 cannot, however, believe that tho free coinage of sitVL at the present time would either bo safe or would furnish the increased supply of money which the friends of tho measure claim. "Before our recent coinage laws silver bullion as fast as produced was snipped abroad and we received for it either directly or in tho balanco of trade, which is the same thing, gold. Now, instead of selling our silver bullion abroad and thorcby exchanging it for gold dollars wo keen it and make of it silver dollars.

How do we increase the volume of money by such an operation? Since January hist we have shipped abroad more than of gold. Had wa shipped the usual amount of silver bullion wo should have sent abroad just bo much less of uold. "Were tho leading nations of the world using the double standard so ttiat we could pay for our purchas from them in siirer no harm could come from free coinage. But no nation can safely trade with the world paying for its purchases in gold and taking silver for what it sells. If Belfast should tntfto with Boston in this way and not be ablo to mako money exchanges at other P'jints, how long would Belfast bo ablo to maintain its credit and obtain the gold with which to pay its What are your ideas on tne iarmers' alliance as a political organization?" lho farmers' alliance seems to me like a hnBtv protest agaiust both real and fancied wrongs.

It it is tne impulsive expression oi a groat multitude resembling in character the outburst of an individual. "Such sentiments, however, do not fashion governments. They do not even make parties for any lasting period. But such important manifestations of biiblio sentiment should remind tho great parlies of the country that the people are watchful. 1 cannot help feeling that in tliia cas too, the uujust tariff laws, tho reckless land giving and the extravagant financial legislation of the Ite pubiican party are responsible fur tho sentiment that lias produced the fanners' alliance.

"Tho position of the Democratic party never was more important than to day. It never had the opportunity to do the country a greater service It stands between parties holding opposite and extreme views. The one nerving the Interests of the rich and thereby giving excuse for the existence of the other. "Tile Democratic party is tho party of the people, holding fast to our national faitu. The parly that finds its expression in tho ii lelity ami tho fearless honesty of a Cleveland.

The parly that believes that if we will adhere to the great principles upon which our government waa established we shall find them sullicient for any governmental problem that may urine." Thw Agr has this editorial comment on the congressman's views: Tho interview in another column with tho Hon. David A. Boo.ly of Brooklyn, congressman elect, id one of the fairest, best informed aud brainiest talks on current political topics that wo havo seen from any public man for along time. There is more neo.led information, impartiality and clear good sense in it than can be found in allof tho utterances of all the Pclfers.Kyles.SimpBonBantl less known penny whistle cranks aud socialists that have come up in the last twenty years. It ia refreshing to find one congressman who has oine thing to say and who knowB what he is talking about.

Mr. Boody's remarks on political issues are in striking contrast to those of Home publio men who have been tilling the papers with empty gush aud crank followlug timo serving only showing the boneless formation of their spinal columns. Tho Brooklyn congressman talks like a statesman of tho Cleveland pattern who knows he is right aud goes ahead. We believe he is the only Democratic congressman elect from New York who lias thus far pub iiolyBhowu any preference for speaker of the next hoUBe. Mr.

Boody, like perhaps the rank and file of the party, prefers Mr. Mills, and in common justice, if not political wisdom, it would seem as if tho brilliant Texan ought to havo tho prize. To many of tho party he stands only second to Cloveland as a champion of the great Democratic issue of tariff reform, and to make him speaker is to make tho tariff question paramount. Such a consummation is devoutly to bo wished for the turiff is the most important issue bofore the country, and, as Mr. Boody points out affects to a great extent other questions as well.

Tho money question, for instance, could, without doubt, be settled far better after tho tariff had boen proporly handled than now, when both are moro or less intermixed aud when the former ia not half uuderstood by the peopie aud is being pawed over by mushroom Btateamen. Booialiats and cheap politioiaus in search of a Job or trying to retain one. Mr. Boody bolieveB with Cleveland, ex Secretary of the Treasuary Fairchild, Oov ernoriKussell of Massachusetts and other loading Domcratic atatosmen distinguished for character as well as ability, that free, Independent ooinage of Bilver at this time and with entire Europe agaiuBt it on a gold basis would bo fraught with disaster, and instead of making money pleutier would mako it scarcer, while lowering the standard of value. With the leading nations of the world having free coinage of silver or a binie talic basiB a situation to bo desired coinage in this coutry would be perfectly aafe.

But under the present circumstances it would drive gold out of the country, a matter of $000,000,000, and bring the world's itlver here, an exchange that might prove somewhat hazardous for us. 'lrylug to keep silver at par aa legal tender and bulling the silvor market against tho world would be an ex Sansive experiment and ultimately end in failure, nation could do it. CharUs Fairchild, secretary of the treasury under Cleveland, in a very able article on "The United States and Silver" in the July Forum, saysi "If wo could put aud keep the silver of the world on a par with gold, gold would froely cir. culate in this country just as it does now. and it would always bo uaimportant to both citizens and strango'rs wbioh ot our various kindB of money they might havo.

But all Europe haa Btopped tho free coinage of silver, which it would have not done had it believed that it, in conjunction with us, could maintain the old ratio of the precious mstalB. Tho countries of the Latin union have a vast amount of silver, aud it is much more important to thom to maintain tho equality of silvor with gold than it ia to ns evou yet, and still they aro not willing to do so with our help: how much leas then must tbey believe in our powor to do this unaided I Therefore, upon thinking that they saw tho approach of silver mono metallisiu in this country they would also think that our gold coins were better property than our silvor coios, and would take steps at once to get our gold and to eavo thomaelvea from tho possibility of getting our silver. Certainly the first result of thiB action on the part of foreigners would be to depress all values here, and to create moro or loss scarcity of money in this country. Everyone can answer for himself whether thia condition would bo well for us or not." A to whether wo could keep free silver at par Mr. Fairchild saya: "Will not legal tender quality maintain at par an unlimited amount of Bilver? No I it will not Legal tender has failed too often to maintain the value of monoy to entitle it to confidence at thia late day.

Will not the declaration of tho intention on tho part of the government to maintain tho parity of tho coins maintain that parity? No I it will not. The United States could, of course, sell its bonds or tax tho peoplo and use tho proceeds indefinitely to redeem and store silver certificates, and thus could keep a certain amount of ailvor money in circulation at par; but it could not put all of that rodeoined money into circulation at par unless tho people had use for it at par, and tne faot that the government was forced to tax its resources and oredit to redeem any portion of our money would be a dem onstratiou that the peoplo had not use for the wholeofit" i iHipv wnrda. diver would sink to its bullion anu a uoitar ui it uaTciuss iver. ne ffowu uujk eurer Till l'apcr lias a Circulation I.areor Ifaan 1'lmtof any other Eveulnfr Paper FnblUhod iu tun Umtod States.

Communication unless aeenmnanle icith stamped envelopes will not be relumed. t'liapin'a Candiuacj The knowledge that the Brooklyn Democracy will bo a unit for Alfred C. Gluqna lor governor lms iilreuily hud an effect.

The talk of the nomination bein morla'oil to any body has ceased. The theory that an agreement of leaders on some one candidate lias closed out nil the rest, is no longer entertained. The qualities desirable for the office oro largely suggested when Mr. Clmpin's candidacy fur it is mentioned. His candidacy has raised the standard of consideration for the place.

Manifestly the nomination is nobody's yet. Evidently the party feels free to hnVo and express preferences. The admission is general that Mr. Chapin's abilities would ec.ire an excellent admin'stra tion of the trust. The consciousness that bis experience has been an educational preparation for the position is conceded.

No unkind words have been spoken by tho Chapin men of other aspirants. The Chapin men mean to support the whole ticket faithfully, whether tlieir man is on it or not, and, if their man is on it, they expect that the friends of all the men who unsuccessfully bought the honor will faithfully support him. Neither has there been any weak blinking of the single i rror Mr. Chapin has committed Bu the matter of the method of the attempted base of the Long island water supply company. The fact that only one mistake iu public life can be regarded us serious iu tin service of ten years brings tho Brooklyn candidate into at least favorable comparison wiih any other and enables the Democracy to see iu advance exactly where attack of the enemy will bo tlirecjjjj.ii'.i'.l where reinforcement or counterattack will be called for.

Beside, tho candidacy of Mr. C'hiipiu tends to lake a deal of nonsense out of the canvass. The talk about "tho party not being able to afford being put on the defensive" is folly. Kvery candidacy tho party has ever won with, put if on the "defensive" on certain points, as the Eagle has repe.itedl sh, shown, ike Democracy has never let the Ilcpu'. nominations to it or iean emmiy dictate its drive those in whom it felt it had a right to have confidence out of tho field.

Its refusal to do either enabled the parly to elect and to re elect Iliil, Tabor and Wemple, quite too recently to need further allusion. Mr. Chapin's supporters, among whom are those, who have been and may be his occasional critics, like the Eagle, will shrink from meeting no attacks on him, conscious that his merits far exceed his defects and that his qualities and record net maka him a very available candidate. They propose to advocato him without reflecting on any other Democrat seeking the office. They confidently expect no attacks on him from the supporters of other Democrats, because that would be unjust in the first place and provocative to retaliation in the second.

The uncommitted Democracy of tho state will do well to examine Mr. Chapin's record in state and local office If they do, they will see that he possesses marked ability and always demonstrated popularity. His friends will omit no right means to nominate him. A Whuk'oaif: SiiRn There is a new birth of conditions at the South, an evident progress not only in matters political and industrial, but in matters social and ethical. It is moving upward and onward and gradually but surely adjusting itself to our Northern ideas and standards.

The result of the trial of Colonel If. Clay King for the murder of David II. Boston at Monphis last March is a result which could scarcely have been secured had the public sentiment whicb existed in Tennessee before the war prevailed there to day. It is said to be the iirst time in the memory of the oldest inhabitant that rich and prominent member of Memphis society has been convicted of murder in tho first degree. More particularly notably is it because the accused in his justification some alleged reflections on tho honor of his wife.

'When a Southern jury is found to disregard such a pica and to condemn to the gallows a man of tho social rank of Colonel King, we are bound to accept it as evidence of a profound and salutary President Harrison did not exaggerate tha character and energy of the forces which are busy iu this work of regeneration nt the South. He saw and discussed tho outward and visible proofs of their activity. Ho confessed himself agreeably surprised by what had already been accomplished, and his growing anticipations for the future wero amply warranted by tho fruits of his actual observation. As a fitting complement of the spectacle presented to him of the business industrial development of the South is the assurance which Colonel King's conviction gives of a thorough upheaval of tho old social traditions and idiosyneracies and a reconstruction according to wiser and more wholesome models. It usod to be said and truly said that society north of the I'otomac and society south of it represented two different civilizations.

This heterogeneity is disappearing and we are fast coming to observe tho same standards and canons. In other words the Union of to day is in every respect a more compact, powerful and homogeneous Union by reason of tho elimination of the old social dissimilarities and demarcations. UouiflaHs and (xhcradi. Fred Douglass, our colored minister to Hayti, has returned to enjoy a two months' leave of absence. Ho communicates two interesting bits of intelligence.

One is that Hyppolite did not indiscriminately massaero citizens in the streets of Port an Prince. The other is that tho failure to secure the Mole St. Nicholas as a coaling place for our war ships was the fault of Admiral (iherardi. Tho latter is a matter to which tho government may feel called upon to give some attention. It is plain from Mr.

Douglass' account that there was a feeling of rivalry between him and the admiral. Tho minister thought that tho conduct of negotiations for the came exclusively within liN province That is what he was therefor. He says that the admiral's cour was in effect a demand for tho mole as a reward for the good offices of tho United States in interfering during the contest between Legitime and HypLoiite. Tho situation called for the most delicate diplomatic treatment. It was spoiled by the boyish frankness of a blulf old sailor.

It Gherardi had kept his finger out of the pio and let Douglass manage tho affair all would have been well and tho chances are that tho molo would be ours to day. Mr. Douglass does not conceal the neat subterfuge which his diplomatic genius was prepared to substitute for Gherardi's blunt demand. He declares that he would have endeavored to obtain tho concession simply through leading tho Hyppolite government to see thatthoy should relinquish the molo to the United States "in the interests of commerce Its Annual Plcuic and Excuniou to Woodlnwii Park.

A NEW PASTOR. Rev. Gcorgro (isitipert Talice Charge of tho Annunciation Chnrcli. Since tho death of Rov. John Ilauptmann, pastor of the Annunciation church, at Nortrf Fifth and Havemeyer streets, about three weeks ago, tho members of tho congregation canvassed anxiously tho names of tho young German American clergymen of tho dioceso to find among them a successor to their deccasod rector.

Thero was some talk of waiting upon Bishop Loughlin, to talk the matter over, bat other counsela prevailed, and the hoad of the church in tho dioeeBO was not visitod. Tho interest of tho young priests in tho seloctiou was equally deep, for tho parish is a largo and influential one, af fording a wido scope for the display of energy. Tho church edifico is a fine ono and adj. lining it is a substantial parsonage. On an opposite cor ner is the parochial school, adjoining whioh is a splendid convent, only recently erected.

The convent is in chargj of ten Dominican siatora, who care for 100 orphan boys thero at present. Some of the sisters assist in teaching in th parochial school. It was Fatuor Hauptmann'B intention to erect a new parochial school on tho site of the present ono, and it waa well known that his Buccossor would bo expected to do so. It was understood that Yicar General May of Holy Trinity church, on Montrose avenue, would have most to say in tho selection of a now pastor and tho appointment mado officially announced yesterday affirms the supposition. Rev.

George Gaupert, ono of the assistants of Holy Trinity, was placed iu chargo as pastor. Ho appeared at the altar at tho masses and spoke to tho worship ers, announcing that he had boon appointed pastor aud would with tlieir aid do ail in his powor in a spiritual and material senso for the congregation and church. Father Gaupert was born in tho parish and was an attondant at thia church whon it was first opened iu the old school building across tho street. Ho stndiod at St. John's collego and oleven and a half years ago waB ordained at the seminary at Niagara He has boen an assistant to Father May since.

Ho is at presont only years old and is known as a hard worker. His first efforts will be direoted toward renovating the church edifice, and he will next commence tho orection of a parochial school building on the sito of tho presont ono. His assistant is ltav. JoBcph Ernst, who, like himself, was born and brought up iu tho parish. HOKFJIAN At the Lutheran Itoformed church, on Graham avenue, last Thursday ovening, Mias Elizabeth Kitzer, daughter of Acting Captain Kitzer of tho Fourteenth sub precinct, was united in marriage to John Hoffman, a young eastern district business man.

Tho ceremony was performed by the Rev. Mr. Yalenta, pastor of the society. The bridesmaid was Miss Clara Heinrlchs and tho best man Oscar Nolda. A reception at the residence of tho bride's parents, on Harmon street, followed tho ceremony.

Those who personally congratulated the happy couple included Firo Commissioner and Mrs. John Ennis, Police Captain and Mrs. J. Ennij, Peter Eppig, Mr. aud Mrs.

Tho intelligent and praiseworthy attempt which was mado in Now York city to overthrow Tammany hall mot with disastrous and somowhat disheartening failure, but thero wore compensating successes in other cities, notably in Boston and Providence.

It is to be noted as of much signlllcanco that tho elections in the laat two oitica were held on othor than the regular election days, coaling a few daya after the November elections for congressmen. Iu Boston a worthy and progressive man who waB nominally a Democrat was chosen over a Republican of the extreme partisan typo, by a majority much larger than that by which the Democrats had carriod the oity in tho congressional eloction. In Provl donce a worthy and progressive Republican was chosen over a Democrat of the eitremo partisan type, though tho city had given a Democratic mujority in tho congressional election. In addition to Boston thero wero eight othor Massachusetts cities 1b which notably reform results were achieved. Six of them which had given Demo oratic majorities in November turned about in Dooomber and olocUd Bepublioan mayors, and two of them which had given Republican majorities in November turned about and elected Democratic mayors in December.

In overy case tho best man won without regard to party. In all these cities there was no other than mnuioipal issues at stake, and the result was, therefore, a valuable illustration of the importance of separate municipal elections. Century.

Popular ifctence Monthly. A SAS FRANCISCO ESTIMATE. Brooklyn has done a fitting thing to raise a monument to Henry Ward Beeoher, for he made tho city known to thousands who otherwise would seldom havo heard ita name, and ho attracted to it othor thousands who wore eager to hear and seo the groat pulpit orator.

These are some results of our barbarous manner of celebrating tho Fourth of July. Instead of having public amusements in halls and schools, public games on tho ball fields and athletic grounds, parades, races on land and water, balloon ascensions, illuminations, band concerts in the squares and matters that might really and reasonably entertain tho populace, wo have explosions of gunpowder. The effects are saddening and inevitable.

Does it pay KQtiuiiibiU Eliitnlin. The death of Hannibal Hamlin on tho Fourth of July was the loss of a statesman of excellent character, average talents and unusual length and variety of service. His preferments magnified the value of residence in a state of small population, to which circumstances impart meretricious political importance. To the remote situation of Maine, to the bucolic character of her population and to the fact that her elections occur in September of each year was duo the prominenco of Hannibal Hamlin. Governor, congressman, senator, vice president aud other things, Hannibal Hamlin owed nearly all of them to living in Maine.

Had ho lived in New York or Pennsylvania, a county judgeship would probably havo been tho limit of his success, because of such men each of those states makes ncceptablo county judges. But residing iu a commonwealth whoso population is loss than that of Brooklyn, yet which by favoring circumstances has fivo congressmen to Brooklyn's four aud by the constitution two United States senators, Mr. Hamlin was one of tho earliest available men for any of the public offices which gave to tho state more importance in politics than her numbers or wealth gave her in any other department of public consideration. As already said, too, Maine is a September voting state. Her elections have supplied an impetus aud furnished an index to the political struggles of each year.

On that account, in man' a contest on her so'l, statesmen from all portions of tho Union have been engaged. Tho factitious importance of this has not been capablo of over estimation. Thus when Abraham Lincoln was nominated for President, with a prospect of success created by Democratic division, an Eastern man for Vice President became necessary, under the snperstitiously held to locality argument of polities, and a Maine, man among Eastern men became preferable, because the early fall election in that commonwealth, resulting in preas ured Bopublican success, was certain to give tho party ticket an acceleration, which nearly thirty years were required to provide with a definition by the evolution of the word boom. Mr. Hamlin owed his nomination for Vice President, on theso accounts, to political accident aud geographical location.

Made immortal by the circumstances of civil war, which infolded emancipation, reconstruction and manhood suffrage within them, the presidency of Abraham Lincoln conferred much adventitious distinction upon tho vice presidency of nannibal Hamlin. AVhen the time, however, camo to renominate Abraham Lincoln, the locality argument shifted from tho Northeast to the Southwest. Hannibal Hamlin was, therefore, superseded by Andrew Johnson. Johnson's rupture with his party produced in overy llo publican mind the thought that, if Hamlin had been renominated, no such rupture would have occurred, and Itepublicanism would havo remained on good terms with itself during its first eight years of power, instead of badly splitting during the last half of that period. Lincoln's eminence, on tho one hand and Andrew Johnson's indocility upon the other thus combined to bring Hannibal Hamlin into much reflected prominence.

There never was an Ameiiean politician incidentally favored in this way to such a degree as he was. lie was a good deal of a man, else theso facts would have spoiled him. They did net make him vain, intriguing, false or ambitious. They did not make him feci that ho was bigger than his party or fill him with a sense of grievance against that party. They did rot impair his capacity or willingness for public service in other offices.

He continued to utilize the adventitious advantages prodi cable of residence in Maine, and increased, in his by the fact of acceptable service in a trying emergency of tho Union's life. Hannibal Hamlin represented the interference politics aud tho protection spirit of Ke publicanism in an extreme degree aud with undoubted sincerity. He was profoundly indignant at remote wrongs and thriftily alivo to the homo value of subsidy and bounty legislation. In tho morals of politics lie was for liberty for all. In the economics of politics ho was for favors for the few and for burdens for the many.

He was a fair samplo of tho negativeness and availability which often govern the choice of vice presidential candidates. As ablo a man as Howell Cobb and much abler than "Joe" Lane, who wero tho Democratic vico presidential candidates against him iu 18G0, he compared favorably with Andrew Johnson, his Eepublican successor, though ho was not the intellectual equal of George Ii. Pendleton, who was Andrew Johnson's vice presidential competitor. Mr. Hamlin, however, would not suffer iu contrast either with Henry "Wilson or Schuyler Colfax, the two directly subsequent Itopublican vico presidents, becauso, while less sympathetic, ho was also tnoro learned than Henry Wilson, and, while less suave, he was more honest than Schuyler Colfax.

Francis P. Blair, and 13. Gratz Brown, the Democratic candidates for vico president in 18G8 and 1872, were analogues in the opposition party to what Mr. Hamlin was in his party. He could also bo named without discredit either with William A.

Wheeler or Thomas A. Hendricks, the vico presidential candidates of 18713, while his political prominenco was greater than that of Chester A. Arthur, and his personal merits greater than those of William II. English, tho vice presidential candidates of 1880. Further to extend the parallel would bring tho deceased statesman into comparison with living politicians.

Yet it can be passingly remarkod that Mr. Hamlin's prominenco in politics and weight in affairs outranked those of Vice President Morton and were considerably less than those of Allen G. Thurman. Had the life of Abraham Lincoln remained within the determination of nature, instead of being arrested by murder, it is likely his sturdy frame would have borne as long a load of years as tho shoulders of his vice presidential colleague easily carried, and that among tho men whom the reporters would havo been interviewing to day, for impressions of Hannibal Hamlin, would have been the emancipator of the prairies, who saved and purified the Union which Jefferson and Franklin formed into an idea and which Washington and Hamilton framed into a fact.

Tho Daily Journal is the name of a unilateral ostrich at Newburg which does not know it all by a large majority.

Tho "explanations mado and excuses for Itepublicau candidates iu this state outnumber thoso for Democratic ones aud with tho difference that tho peoplo did not regard tho Republican explanations and exqjlses as sufficient. General Dix did nq ftTffiain why taxation rose in his aditoistration find was deieatod for re eloctn. Edwin D.

Morgan Ldld not explain hiflBilationa to plutocratic more Elevated Itoad. Mr. Austin Corbin to day petitioned tho board of aldermen for leave to build an elevated railroad from Vanderbilt avenue to Flat bush avenue upon Atlantic avenue. An Atlantic avenuo road, starting on the surface at Vanderbilt avenue and kooping a level course, would, by depressions of the ground, bo even with tho Union elevated at Flatbush avenuo, with which corporation Mr. Corbin's proposed one is not unreasonably expected to anite.

If nn elevated road on Atlantic avenue can be sectionally secured, only tho progressive success of such a policy will bo required to obtain that form of rapid transit for tho whole thoroughfare. Mr. Corbin is an interesting and able man. Ho secured with difficulty permission to build an elevated road on the entire length of Atlantic avenuo a while ago, but the execution of that grant has been made difficult by the extreme conscientiousness of William Richardson in settling conditions, terms, in advance. It is (o bo hoped, now that Mr.

Richardson has secured the consent of the stato commission for the trolley system, that ho will permit a bargain to be made iu the public interest with Austin Corbin. Tho Trolley. The decision of tho stato railroad commissioners of which tho text was printed in full in yestorday's Eaole, at first suggests that tho trolley is about to roll in triumph through tho principal streets of Brooklyn. Perhaps it suggests the same thing at last, also, for tho substantial objections to tho system seem to bo brushed asido by this sweeping judgment. It is true that tho commissioners reject tho application of the Coney Island aud Brooklyn company, but not on substantial grounds.

Tho refusal rests upon formalities relating to con eeuts of property owners. If these technical conditions had been compiled with there is no reason to doubt that this line would havo secured tho same privilege as is accorded to the Atlantic nvenue roads. Tho expected cold shoulder is not turned toward tho system itself. On tho contrary, in granting President Richardson's request the commissioners welcomo the trolley with open official arms, with something like a glow of warm personal enthusiasm. Tho united street railroads of Boston, under President Whitney, could not well furnish this electric method with a stronger indorsement.

The alleged danger from fire is made light of, provided a guard wire be strung over the trolley wiro in every case, to prevent contact with telephone, telegraphic or light wires. Short work is made with the prevailing anxiety as to collisions with other vehicles and of accidents to pedestrians and other persons who use the thoroughfares. While the speed of tho cars will be greater with tin; new motive power they can also bo checked and stopped more quickly than at present. Tin; commissioners do not confine their attention to the question of safety. They take up aud dispose also of ornamental considerations.

They are confident that more polos will not disfigure the streets, and while they refrain from insisting that these upper works will prove to bo nn actual public embellishment they are as positive about this feature, of which the ordinary citizen is a competent critic, as they are about tho safety points which may lio rather within tho domain of exports. The immediate grant, and the future grants which seem probable, are not indeed unconditional. Although it has been supposed that the control by the state board is substituted by the legislature for all supervision by aldermen and other city officers, something is turned over to the local authorities. Herein is vindicated tho wisdom of astute railroad men of this town who have sought also the consent of tho common council. The local authorities, of course, havo no power to withhold what the commissioners have granted.

No co ordinate power is established, but they may prescribe speed and other requirements. A case might bo conceived in which this might lie tantamount to nullification of a grant. But the commissioners have provided against this a safeguard more effectual than tho wire guard proposed for the trolley wire. The aldermen may prescribe the rate of speed, but the prescription must be reasonable. They may make further requirements, but theso also must bo reasonable.

When the exactions are regarded ns unreasonable the courts may be applied to witli a view to correct tho excess. So much may rest with tho courts after all. The commissioners also impose restrictions as to poles and wires and careful management, but theso are matters of detail. Tho important thing is the unqualified approval of the system. The action here foreshadows action iu Now York, where hot hostility to the trolley has developed.

What next This question is now asked by many persons, for overy assertion of the commissioners in respect of tho system has been denied and opinion is not likely to bo unanimously overborne by the recent decision. A very large number of citizens aro pro pared to assert that thero is danger of fire from the overhead plan, that pedestrians and vehicles will bo exposed to collision and other accidents and that the appearance of the streets will be impaired. What are they going to do about it The Jnlr Pulpit. A'acation influences andsummor enervation seem to exert no impairing effect upon tho brothers Dixon. Theso virile and earnest young men still occupy tho two cities.

Tho Brooklyn and tho Now York member of the famil differ in particulars. Tho former, as becomes this staid and ordorly town, is thoroughly orthodox, and improved the occasion of a recent unvailing to lament tho downfall of Mr. Beecher in this respect. The other, as is not surprising in the cosmopolitan and latitudinarian atmosphere of the community lying we3t of us, is a "liberal" whatever that vague and elastic word may imply. Tho two Dixons, howevor, are at one in the purpose to make an impression.

The New Yorker assailed his Brooklyn brother in respect of tho Beecher discourse vigorously yet in a kindly way, taking pains to affirm his fraternal regard and ascribing the outbreak to mistaken viows of "hell." It is curious, by the way, to observo tho relish with which some clergymen sometimes roll beneath tho clerical tongue, as morsel of extreme sweetness, terms which when freely employed by the street haunting small boy would be described as very bad words indeed. So New York Dixon mado the most of "hell" in his lecture lotter on Brooklyn Dixon over which they doubtless laugh heartily when they meet. For tho discourse and the letter constituted a "good card" for both of them. It helped them to make an impression, as to the importance of which, as has just been said, they are of the same mind. This is not necessarily discreditable to them.

Thoy think they must make an Impression upon the public before they can work out the good for the publio which they have in view. Of course they will be called sensational. Mr. Beecher used to bo so described. So did Dr.

Talmage. Neither was discouraged by the title, but kept right on, showing presently by their persistently successful work that they were something moro than sensationalists. Why not give tho brothers Dixon a chanco to show the like? Wo might as well, because, being bright young fellows, not easily fatigued, they ore certain to take the chanco, whether it is conceded or not. As to tho Beecher sermon, the violent assault upon Brooklyn Dixon in regard to it is amusing and absurd. That there was a theological change in Mr.

Bc3eher. no intelligent and well informed nerson 'v. ill rtnnv. Whv tret ancrv at a state niegt of tiJ8 Yfeil faowa fact? time Mr. Flower in tho stato was run for lieutenant had a chance to run when ho declined to governor in 18S5.

That samo year, however, Mr. Chapin unhesitatingly faced tho people as controller, as lie likewise had done in 188'J. Both times ho was elected by a large majority. It is bolievod that Mr. Flower might carry this state.

It is known that he declined to try to do it once and that Mr. Chapin has dono it twice. Tho Albany Argus draws attention to tho fact that Grover Cloveland, on July 2 1, 1881, to the committee which notified him that he had been nominated for President, said: "I am a Democrat, because I believe that this truth lies at tho founrtatiou of true Democracy: Tho party and its representatives which ask to bo intrusted at the hands of the people with tho keeping of all that concerns' their welfare and Eafoty should ask it with tho full appreciation of the sacredneaH of tho trust and with a firm resolve to administer it faithfully and well. The Argus truthfully enough implies that Cleveland used tho words "I am a Democrat" in 1884, iu Albany, before Hill used thorn in 1885 in Brooklyn. Nevertheless, Governor Hill's use of them appears to havo attracted more attention because ho did not tell tho reason why.

Although prohibition in Maine is not more prohibitory than it is anywhere else, the social ostracism thero of a person guilty of inebriety is pitiless and unrelenting. During the campaign last year Congressman Millikcn wassoutiforiunato as to swallow a fluid which seriously affected the straightforwardness of his movement and the coherency of itis speech. Those who believed that tho fluid was lemonade attributed the queer effects to the fermentation of tho sugar. But whatever the fact as to the character of the drink there seems to havo been no doubt that the congressman was not himself on tho occasion referred to. Hence at tho Colby university banquet at Augusta last Thursday, whero Mr.

Mill! ken appeared all ready with a powerful address, the president pointedly refused to invite him to speak. Tho Maine besom is a remorseless broom. Tho mention of Frederick A. Schrooder's name as a Republican candidate for governor in radical newspapers may soon be expected to reach the vanishing point. Mr.

Schroeder had the pleasure of writing a letter to Mr. George Kenneth, a letter tho Eagle has opportunely revived, which effectually deprives tho Republican party of the pleasure of running Mr. Schroeder for governor. Mr. Cornelius N.

Bliss is at present tho Republican favorite for the nomination. Mr. Thomas C. Piatt's consent for Mr. Bliss to be nominated is said to be the only thing required, but tho only thing is recognized as a very important matter.

It is believed that Mr. Bliss would go to disaster with as much dignity and survive defeat with as much philosophy as Ira Davenport did and with moro than Warner Miller showed. Thn university convocation will bo held in Albany in the senate chamber on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week. It comprises the board of regents, all trustees, instructors aud other officers iu colleges, normal schools, academies, high schools and other institutions of higher education. Some of the topics to bo presented this week aro of importance ar.d interest.

Among them is tho "University Study of Philosophy," "Physical Education," "Place of Scientific and Technical Schools in tho American System," "Co ordination of University, College and Academy," "Higher Education for Women" and "University Extension." Andrew D. White, J. G. Sehurmau, Francis A. Walker, Alice Freeman Palmer and others will take part.

It must havo been a very severe provocation that caused so polito and amiable a man as Judge Blodgett of the United States district court at Chicago to address to the women present iu the court room on the trial of the suit of Phcobo Couzins to retain tho secretaryship of tho board of women managers of tho world fair, such language as "Let those people leave the room." Tho roport states that they expressed their approval for Miss Couzins by an enthusiastic hand clapping, whereupon the judge turned very red in tho face, and remarking sternly: "This ia no town meeting," directed tho marshal to clear tho room. His honor evidently has a very high standard of female decorum and regards a clapping woman as no better than a crowing hen. Tho agency of moisturo in producing physical discomfort during hot weather is well indicated by the statement ot the deputy chief engineer of the New York aqueduct commission, who says that the nir on tho California desert is so dry that at a temperature of 145 degrees he wore his flannels and did not feel so uncomfortable as he has felt in the streets of New York during tho month of July. Sheol must be dryer still, as a Tama man who is residing there communicates through a spiritualistic medium his wish to have his blankets sent to him. Tho Sunday Mercury calls General Slo cum a great soldier and nn upright citizen," which he is, and adds that he may be trusted to deoline no duties which are placed upon him," which is not so.

He declinod the offer by the state committee of tho position of lieutenant governor on tho ticket with David B. Hill iu 1885, after Roswell P. Flower had backed out and before General Jones, who was offered the place, accepted it, paid the freight, went in and won. Another ocean record breaker is the steamship British Princess, which arrived yesterday at Philadelphia. She mado the trip to that port from Liverpool in nine days and fifteen hours, which is the fastest time recorded for vessels plying between these two places.

A resident of San Francisco asserts that ho has positive information of a contemplated revolution in Mexico, obtained through letters from a high official iu that republic. Complication in financial affairs is said to bo tho basis for the trouble. Diaz is denounced in many sections as the Balmaceda of Mexico, and it is claimed that tho feeling against him is rapidly spreading. The New York and Brooklyn end of tho groat United States is the IJetter for two days of rest, recreation and abolutely perfect tem perature. Tho people aresow ready for work renewed cheerfulness.
