Make New York the Capital.

The proposition to remove the capital 20
New York. where of right il should he,
will Of course meet with strenuous oppo-
sition at Albany. That town centres
about the State legislature. II is its chief
claim to importance, and all manner of
local traders will resist the taking away Of
the seat of the State Government from
Albany.
Meantime New York will not use inter
ested effort TO get the capital brought
here. Nobody here cares about the adj
vantage to the city Of making New York
the State capital. 1t would lie only add
ing drop 10 the metropolitan bucket.
The great gniner would be. not the city of
New York, but the State OF New York,
and only in its proportion, IL this latter's
gain was secured, would the city benefit.
The advantage would be the whole peo-
pies, because their Legislature would
then be more dignned and capable body
than il is now. 1t would hold it's sessions,
not in the semi-viilage atmosphere Of an
inland town, but in the vitalizing air OF
the great city of the New World, sur
rounded by the best intelligence and
brightest achievement of the country
with able Journals 10 report and criticise
its doings, and mentally alert metropoii-
tan community 20 hear and weigh its
words.
New York is the States real head What
ever you may call il nominally, You can't
alter the fact. IL rs the master of the BUSH
ness, the finance, the thought, the enter
prise, and the intellect OF the State. Alba
ny, though respectable town, with a
society that arTogates much 10 itself,
after the fashion of provincial socie-
~, is no more the moral capital OF New
York than the little fellows from small
back-country villages who spout about the
affairs of the greatest OF the American
States are representatives OF the capacity
OF New York for craftsmanship.
Bring the capital to New York, and the
Legislature will rise from it, present town
meeting level to something like adequate
| dignity. The littleuess of the place where
II is situated, its petty local ambitions, its
pretentious teacup society, its Insignificant
newspaper press. and it's asphv knitting IN
tellectual vacuty, all tend to make aud
keep the New York State Senate and AS
sembly what they are now-asylums for
feeble minded politicians. Bring the oap-
ital here, and men of mental power viii
appear in its halls. The legislators will
| then begin TO perceive that this il great
state, and that to master the problems OF
its government someth ne more than q
capacity 10 consume cocktails ut the Della.
van House is requisite.

Another Rotten borough state.

A bill for the admission of New Mexico
rs State of the Union was juggled
through the Senate few days ago, and is
likely to be reported favorably by mixed
majority from the Committee on Terri
tories In the House. This scheme has been
on foot for several years, and Is chiefly
urged by the corrupt Ring who have
absolute control OF the Territory, and who
have run it by the rules OF Grantism since
I70.
y. b. ELKIHs the present delegate in
Congress, is a GRANT Republican and the
head of this notorious Ring. By assuring
Republican Senators that two votes-one
of them his own-would be gained by the
admission OF the State, he was able to at
tract support for the bill which otherwise
could not have been obtained, and TO In
duce several Senators 10 withhold OPPOSE
ton on this partisan ground.
This ELKINs Is the son-in-law of HENRY
G. DAVIS, Democratic Senator from West
Virginia, who urged his side OF the cham
Der TO aid the bill on the ground that two
Democrats would come to the Senate. BY
this arrangement the family would achieve
the object OF their ambition, though one
of the parties TO ii must be inevitably
cheated.
No good or even plausible reason can be
assigned for muk'ng New Mexico State
1t is II barefaced job IN the interest Of an
organized gang Of thieves. According TO
the exaggerated census of 1870, made to
order by officials wholly unworthy of
| trust, the population was returned at
1854 composed OF Mexicans, Spaniards,
Indians, "Preasors," and Adventures OF all
kinds, who follow the army and float along
the frontier.
OF this population about one tenth only
speak the English language and have tho
habits OF our civilization, so that, in fact,
about nine or ten thousand people who
have drifted down into New Mexico dur
| ing the last quarter OF q century, are now

has followed and We. threatens. But
few insensate journalists and stupid pub
lic men Of the Democratic party, sonie
Of the ultra Bourbon type and others
hopeless fools, have contrived by mingled
insolence and obstinacy to disgust even
the rcformers among the Republicans;
and thus we stand to-day. The great ma
jority OF the Republicans are determined
to support their ticket against the
Bourbon Democracy, If II leads them aud
leads the country to perdition; while an
other important body of Republicans who
want reform, but do not propose to turn
Democrats, or turn into anything else, In
order to get it. look on with indignant in
difference. And while this Is the situation,
there seems to lie no symptom of reconcil
ing the difficulty.
But whether the present attitude Of the
Democratic party in relation to tho Re-
publicnns, reforming and otherwise, be or
be not "a necessity made inevitable by
the nature OF things and the wenk-
ness OF human nature, 1t Is at any
rate fact that confronts us as the prin-
cipai key of the situation. II there were
nothing exceptional and abnormal In the
condition Of the Democratic party, and II 1t
had wise men for leaders, II would come into
power very much rs the present House OF
Representatives was spoken into existence
But powerful as was that outburst of
public disgust, there is great danger that
il will not be repeated, notwithstanding
the extraordinary disclosures and renewed
incentives now stimulating the public
mind. Both reforming Republicans ana
reforming Democrats feel the pressing ne
cessity FOR public action that will express
the public Judgment upon the culprits who
have brought such deep disgrace on the
country but the method of such action. we
are sorry 10 say, is not yet clear 1t Is a
question OF candidates and of their
personal character and nntecedents
and neither hack Democrat nor
hack Republican will answer; and
thus there is imminent peril of per
petuation rather than n cure OF our exist
ing crimes and disorders The people
themselves must rise in the spirit of n
great reform, il anything valuable is to be
accomplished; and we hope soon to see a
better prospect of such an uprising.

While some OF the Mllierite preachers
hereabout are prociaimng that the world will
surely come 20 an end this year. Brother MILES
GRANT, the most prominent leader OF the sect,
is more discreet. Seeing that the Mllerites have
been mistaken every year for forty four years in
their predictions he now advises them not TO fix
the exact time OF the end, but 90 preach that II
Is at h, nd. Thisis certainly safer ground tn n
that which has been taken by the Millerites, and
Is still held by some OF them. Those OF the e. riy
fathers OF Christianity who thought the world
would enc in their day, were mistaken; so were
those Of the medieval doctors who thought II
would end at some liked period Of the middle
ages were the parties Who expected the end
az the time Of the Protestant reformation, and
again at the Cromwellian revolution; so were
those who looked for II last century so was
WILLIAM MILLER, who took mp the parable In
1872, and so have been the Milerites from then
TIL now. II 10 evident that the prophecies OF
DAEIEL In his book, and OF JoHE IN the Revela-
ton, have been misunderstood by some OF their
Interpreters. The advice Of Preacher GRANT,
the Millerite not TO nx the exact date any more,
seems sensible enough to be taken by Brother
JnRRIR, who preached othorw ise in Cooper In-
stitute last sunday.
