The London Spectator relates OF
Lord Macaulay that. when eight years
old, he, during a call with his mother,
read Walter SCOTS clay of the Last
Minstrel" and on his return home
repeated canto after canto TO her.
So wonderfully retentive was the great
historians memory, that at one period
of his life he was known to say that if,
by some miracle OF vandalism, all
copies of Millions "Farad;se Lost :"
and of Bunyan's "Pilgr ms Progress"
were destroyed, he would undertake
to reproduce them from recollection
whenever a revival of learning came.
In 1918, while waiting in Cambridge
coffee room tor a post chaise which
was to take him to school, he casually
read two poems in weekly, and
thought no more of them for forty
years when he repeated both correctly.

Nh. MORRISSEYT THREATENS.

John MorTrisSay is power in New
York City politics, and notwithstand-
ing his antecedentS and profession he
seems to have been never other than q
cleanly power. His fortune may have
been gathered from faro banks and
horse racing. Int he has never added
70 i, by raids upon the public treasury,
or by corrup, legislation, or dishonest
political schemes. He quarreled with
and denounced the Tweed ring for
their corrupt practices, long before the
venerable Samuel ]. Tilden appeared
in the role of I reformer, and he has
since fought John kelly-who sue
,aeded to Tweed's power in Tammany
If he has not succeeded TO Tweeds
prac,ices-with rigor, and with no in
considerable measure OF success. 1t
is estimated Ivy those who know the
man and his resources, that John Nor
rissev. and .IO>a who cooperate with
him, influence from :ortv to fifty
thousand democratic votes IN the City
of New York, and those who defy him
take the risk CT losing that number
Of independent, democratic sutfrases.

dispatches that the New York demo

course it did, else surely it would never

Tilden shall be the nominee he can
never obtain the electoral vote of the

The New Bedford Mercury tells of
five dogs who were shut up in yard
by the gates closing after they had
passed through it. When they wanted
to 20 out they couldn't, for the gate
swung inward. Then the CANNES held
a consultation, which resulted in the
best jumper, big Newfoundland, get.
ting over the fence, pushing the gate
open, and releasing his friends.

CHoATE on SPECIAL INJURIES. Mr.. Choate,
the lawyer opposed to rapid transit. argues
that enc reason why the steam line should
not DO built is that it would be especial
injury to the Sixth Avenue Railway. This
special injury would consist in drawing
from the Sixth Avenue line certain fraction
OF passengers, and thus diminishing its re-
ceipts. This is an ingenious argument
MIR. Choate should write book on Especial
Injuries" He might show the special injury
done to the sling by the bow and arrow; to
tho bow by the battering ram; to the ram
by the cannon; to the smoothborc by the
rihed cannon. He might show how steam is
special injury" to horse and water power
how, in fact, nll civilization, with its adj
vancement, its science, art and achieve
ments, was especial injury" to the original
occupants of the SOIL Mr.. Choatc is an able
man, and his argument that rapid transit
should be prevented because it is special
injury" to slow, clumsy street railway, is
among the achievements of the law.

The ALBANY LOBBY occasionally is shown
Cured yesterday in the referees examina-
ton into the management of the Blocker
Street Railroad Company. 1t has long been
known that the street railway monopolies
regularly kept paid agent at Albany, but
yesterday the facts were testified to, as APP
pears from our court reports, and it seems the
companies were regularly assessed for rails
ing the corruption fund. In such cases is
it not possible to punish the persons engaged
in the nefarious business? If the other mag
mates of the horse car companies are called
to a strict account for acts like these one
frequent source of bribery and corruption
will soon be closed.

In THE OLDES TINE the parties-whig and
democratic-were controlled by the lords of
the plantation. Now they are controlled by
the lords of the railways. Mr.. washburne
was wise when he said, just before the Gin
cinnati Convention, that his name would have
no standing in body which railway men
managed. The plantation rule was harsh
enough, but we prefer it to the railway rule
The old masters were arrogant and rude
but honest and manly. The new masters
are smooth and winning, but venal and
treacherous Sooner or later we must fight
this railway power. 1t is becoming more
and more monstrous.

Tho Indian Question.


Our dispatches from the Indian country
confirm the views we have expressed as to
the folly of this war. and, in fact the follies of
all of the Indian wars Apart from any feeling
Of humanity, about which it is hardly worth
while to speak, as it is subject upon which
are practical business reasons why We should
end these Indian wars Our relations with
the Indians have always been in an unwhole-
some condition. We denied the right
of the English in discussing the
Treaty Of Client to deal with the
alities, and yet until Congress passed spe-
cial act forbidding treaties, we have always
treated with them. These treaties were only
truces, plans for acquiring money and pres
ents As soon as the grass was far enough
advanced to feed the ponies the Indian
saw the chance for another war, for another
movement of troops, for a contract for sup
plies or transportation, the treaty was broken.
War on the frontier became commercial
speculation. Men lived on war as they lived
on farming. We suffer from it now in what
we see in the Sioux country.
All this must come to an end! It is not
alone to our honor as people, but to our
business advantage as prudent govern
ment, that we should end the drain upon
the Treasury involved in these Indian wars.
Let us pursue the Indian with force enough
to capture and hold him. Count all the In
dams on the Plains, and if tho census
is accurate they number less than the
population of Brooklyn. We could find o
small reservation anywhere in Arizona, New
Mexico, or even in some of the islands about
our coast, and, giving the Indian place
there, keep him. The solution of the In
dian question is simply this:-"How can we
arrest and hold three hundred thousand
men, women and children" Once that the
Indian came within the jurisdiction of the
American government he would become
docile enough. But whether docile or not,
he should be under the hard but just and
discreet hand of the government. It would
end these internecine wars when tribe scalps
tribe in savage fury. 1t would guarantee
the safety of our frontiers and open all these
lands to enlightenment and prosperity.
More than oil, it would be the best for the
Misunderstanding him, if such thing were
possible, into habits of industry, prosperity
and peace.

UNCLE SAMMY TLDEN seems to have the
newspaper correspondents in as good frame

Cincinnati correspondents could only have

mated Blaine. One of the most brilliant

Mr.. Watterson, was made temporary chair
man OF the st. Louis Convention. This
shows that Uncle Sammy recognizes the
power Of the press, and we have no doubt

SuxsTRoKEs. Attention is called to the re-
port of the Sanitary Committee of the Board
Of Health on sunstrokes, which we print
elsewhere. 1t does not contain any new
recommendation, but it puts in few plain
words the sum of medical experience on tho
subject. What to avoid is OF much more i'm
portance to the general public than the
question of remedies. Very hot spells are
seldom of long duration in this latitude, but
while they last they are extremely danger
ous. Keep cool if you can, but if you cam
not, encourage perspiration.

SMALL BUSINESS. The Tilden managers
seem to have been as small and narrow in
their management of the Convention as the
Blaine men at Cincinnati. When Blaine's
friends had the organization they made war
upon every republican who was not in favor
of his nomination. Tilden's friends are
doing the same at st. Louis. Among the
victims are L. o. Perrin, the reading clerk,

GRAsfERcY PARK AS PoIIr1cAL MECCA
Our ST. Louis correspondent telegraphs that
Peter Cooper, candidate for the Presidency
on the greenback platform, announces that
in the event of the nomination of Mr.. Til
den he will remain in the field. AS Mr..
Cooper and Mr.. Tilden are neighbors, on
Gramercy Park, it will make that charming
summer bit OF greenery an important politi-
cal centre. What with the Western editors
coming to Uncle Peter for money to s.help
the cause and with distinguished states
men like Boss Morrissey and Boss McLaugh-
lin coming to Uncle Sammy to confer about
reform, the Park will be scene of continual
interest. 1t would not be bad idea to in
crease the police force around the Pork.

summer, and an intelligent policeman could
see that the editors and the reformors did
not 60 into the wrong houses.

and American Strokes.
The race which takes place in Springfield
between the Fights of Harvard and Yale
on next Friday will be interesting in many
respects. 1t will be to great extent a trial
of styles-English and American. All that
Cook, the Yale captain, displays in his
rowing is English, borrowed from the
style of the English university crews.
Loring, the Harvard coach, who is
also conversant with the English system of
rowing, on the other hand has instructed
his crew to return to the old STYLE which, in
years gone by, brought Harvard colors we'll
to the front. Only for the sliding seat we
might expect to see Harvard away up in the
forties. So much has been said about Eng
lish strokes and American strokes that
one might be led to believe that there
was a vast difference between them. The
English oarsmen, understanding rowing,
from long experience, practice and study,
better than Americans, wisely adapt their
style to the length of their course and the
condition Of the water over which they have
to row. Over the Putney and Mortlake
course, for instance long course, by the
way--the number of strokes rowed per
minute is not nearly as many as that pulled
when the same crews row over the short dis
lance course at Henley. SO much is said
about the advantages of the slow English as
opposed to the rapid American stroke that
people are liable in discussing the merits Of
both to lose sight of one great essential
win next Friday the advocates of the Eng
lish style of rowing will have much cause
for congratulation, but it will by no means
prove the superiority Of the English system
OF rowing, unless in its applicability to long
distance races.
