active in trying to disaffect individual mem
bers of the delegation, and SO far as they
had any success they would proclaim and
exaggerate it as proof that Mr.. Conkling
could not unite the republicans Of his own
State, and as a refutation of the argument
that he alone can carry New York. 1t may
be that some other candidate (Mr Bristow,
for example) could carry New York for the
republican party, but certainly not Blaine.
Conkling and Blaine have been ''at daggers
drawn" for eight or nine years, and the per-
sonal indignity of supplanting Conkling in
his own State by such an enemy would never
be forgiven by his friends. The success of
the Blaine intrigue would infallibly leave
this State in the hands of the democrats.
such a result, and in order to pre-
vent it should pledge their delegation
to Conkling, if for no other purpose, at least
for defeating Blaine and preventing the NOM
ination of candidate whom large portion
of the party in this State would refuse to
support The question of pledging the dele
cation to Conkling involves the question of
relieving the New York republicans of the
necessity of deciding what attitude they
would take if Blaine should get the nomina-
ton. Conkling is entitled to fair treatment
in his own State, and ought to be armed
with the same weapons for defeating Blaine
that Blaine possesses for defeating him.
Certain it is that the republicans cannot
carry New York with Presidential candi-
date whom Senator Conkling and his sup
porters hate and detest.

though Dorsheimer knows nothing about it I;

military and Naval cadetships.

The lesson to be learned in the Hays
case is simple one. Let us put an end to
these ever recurring scandals about the mill
tary and naval academies, by throwing them
open to all the young men of the country
whose parents can afford to give them
the scientific and professional educa-
ton that is to be obtained there
and that is not within their reach any
where else in this country. Why should
these institutions be closed to the sons of
men who will not stoop to beg or to buy the
privilege OF admission from members of Con-
gress? There is no good reason for it. AS
Mrs. Beardslee the mother of tho cadet
whose nomination was purchased, put
it to the committee the other day, she
knew she could not get the prize without
''some sort Of hugger-muggering, and she
thought the simplest and most indie
pendent way was to buy it. Now,
most honorable and economical gentle
you can purify your own body and effect a
great saving to the country by surrendcring
this ''deadheading" privilege that you have
assumed and let these national institutions
be run on the principle of the great military
schools OF France, England and the other
European States. When young men choose
to lit themselves for tho army or navy they
should have a chance without hsving TO
resort to the crime of buying or begging the
right from congressman or cadetship
brokers.

A winter Snow storm.

The remarkable season which is now draw
ing to q close has partly unprepared us for
genuine snow storm, such as that of last
night. We were in hopes that we could slip
quietly into o pleasant spring without any
meteorological incident which would remind
us of our escape from the severity of long
winter. But the season of storms and cold
is asserting her rights to recognition, and
presents herself all of sudden in her
mantle of white, as if to remind us
that her powers are as yet unex-
hausted after the long struggle with
the genial airs of the tropics which
have invaded her domain. The vast accu-
mutation of moisture in the atmosphere
after q prolonged season of warmth fur
nishes the material from which winter
weaves with her icy breath the snow shrouds
that she casts over the sleeping earth. When
this vaporous element is acted on by air of
temperature lower than thirty-two degrees
condensation and precipitation at once fol-
low which assume the form of snow OF
frozen rain. This phenomenon will con.
tinue until the excess of moisture in the
air is precipitated and the density of the
atmosphere raised to a degree which will
enable it to resist the influx of cold winds.
In reality these winds are caused by the
peculiar conditions of the air, the most i'm
portant one being lack of density. The
effects will cease to be produced when the
causes cease to exist Nearly all snow
storms come with northeasterly wind
because the centre of low pressure and the
line of contact between the warm and cold air
waves lie to the westward of u.s. Directly
the wind changes to the southwark the
low barometer is on our meridian, and its
constant eastward movement is followed by
corresponding tendency of the flow Of
the winds from westwardly directions. Thus,
in short time the snow storm will turn to
rain with southerly wind, and will be fol-
lowed by clear, cold weather and a north
westerly blow. On rare occasions the low
pressure passes to the southwark of New
York, when the wind backs from the north
east to the northwest, and cold comes with
out the intervening period of rain.

Avn As.emblyman,s Einer Feeling..

1t is gratifying to know that Mr.. Killian
has had enough of public life, and we are
only sorry that it is his finer feelings which
are driving him from the legislative halls
back to his old place on the ''Blue Line"
Evidently it was a mistake for him to enter
the Assembly at all. A man of feeling can
have no peace where there are crowding am
bition and conflicting interests and hostile
committees and lobby. If he is ambitious
himself life to him must become a burden.
Poor Killian is victim to his own daring
and the wiles of other people, who, unlike
him, were destitute of the finer feelings Be-
sides, Mr.. Killian is man of marked orig
inality, and original genins has little chance
in this cruel, workday world. He says, for
instance, that he introduced his ''No Seat No
Fare" bill into the Legislature before it was
advocated by the HERALD in the interests of
tho people. We would remind him that he
adopted HERALD idea and introduced his
bill into the Assembly because the HERALD
had made the measure popular, but refrain
from fear of doing wrong to those finer feel
ings TO which he alone, of all the politicians
at Albany, can lay claim. Killian is to be
pitied-pitied for his vaulting ambition and
his terrible fall Hear the poor man talk of
himself and his works:-"Ths was n bill, +"
he says, (Which l had originated and in which
l felt q peculiar interest 1t was,' he adds,
however, drafted too hastily, and many of its
provisions are unconstitutional, inasmuch as
they conflict with the charters granted to the
street railroad companies" In spite of ail
this he says he ''strenuously fought for it.,
and he declares, almost in the same breath,
that he could have pushed the bill through
the Assembly, and that from the beginning
be WAS convinced il would not pass. Only
man of great originality could contradict
himself SO fatty, and it requires much fine
feeling 20 enable q legislator to call tho
members OF committee his personal
friends" and yet ipsinuatc that they have
becn guilty of both faisehood and corrup-
tioa. Gcntlemen Of the Assembly, Mr.. Kill

CENTESNIALIsM.--It is now proposed that
there shall be grand panorama or moving
pageant-showing the various steps we have
taken in attaining our national growth. Any
thing to keep the fires burning But what
a pageant we could have showing the vari-
Gus scandals that have marked our politics,
bepinniry, with the interview between Andre
and Arnold and ending with the interview
between Grant and Belknap. That would be
pageant worth goingt to Philadelphia to see.
CAsrEIAR's REPLY TO PAvLA in the Spanish
Cories had the merit Of frankness, but
showed how completely the great republican
had been hoodwinked by this mere military
adventurer. The man Of action has great
temporary advantage over the mere man Of
ideas in all the battles of life but we venture
20 predict that the next Pavia who attempts
\ cup f<ta; on Spanish republic will be
shot with something less brilliant but more
effective than al epigram. Ideas, If they arc
sound, triumph in spite Of the opposition Of
smen Of action" because, sooner or later,
they become infused in those who can join
action to principle. as tho body is joined 10
tho soul. Whom republicanism has reached
this stage in Spain firing party of simple
soldiers will save the intending Pavia the
trouble of all explanations afterward.

SPRIN6FIELD, the capital OF Illinois, is re-
duced TO pitiable and disgracetul condition
through the attempts Of plundered citizens TO
resist illegal and unjust taxation The debt
Of the city, nearly 81 100000, was created I'M
der former administrations, and the amount
Of taxation necessary to meet the interest
thereon, added to that required for current
expenses, exceeds the limits allowed by the
constitution. About year ago Judge Zane
issued an injunction restraining the Mayor
and Council from collecting illegal taxes, from
creating a debt, or from drawing a warrant
upon an empty treasury. In order to force a
dissolution OF this injunction the Mayor and
Council have disbanded the Fire Department
and Police Force. abrogated the street lamp
contracts, closed the city prison, turned loose
the prisoners, removed all city officials and
employees, and all the functions OF the bod v
corporate are thus practically suspended.
