An Enseptlon.l rae. Day.

The extra racing announced for Jerome
Park on Saturday promises to be the race
day of the centennial, and if the present
Indian summer weather continues it will be
fitting close to the first decade in the his.
tory of the American Jockey Club. In look,
ing back over the racing at this famous ant
fashionable track it scarcely seems possible
that SO much should have been accomplished
within SO short time. Already long list
of remarkable events attests the enterprise
of the club, and many fste days exhibit
the popular interest in these events.
Previous to the establishment of Jerome
Park by the American Jockey Club there
was no fashionable course anywhere in the
neighborhood of New York. The Paterson
track was about the only one which had any
charm for people of fashion. and it was toe
far away to be largely patronized. Jerome
Park consequently was matter of necessity
quite as much as utility. The public, and
especially the fashionable public, had long
desired such place of resort, and the
two meetings of each year were hailed with
delight from the very start In two years
from the beginning the course was almost
as we'll known as it is now, and it is say
ing great deal in recognition of the
management of the club to say there has
been no diminution in the favor with
which the Jerome Park races begun. The
two meetings of the present year were as
brilliant as any which preceded them, and
the extra day, with its FIVE promising events,
is not only fitting close to the season, but,
in measure, a celebration of decade Of
unexampled good fortune and prosperity.
If this splendid weather continues we may
we'll anticipate spectacle in every way
worthy of the occasion. Fashion cannot
fail to crowd the club house to watch the
speeding horses on the devious track, the
splendors of silk and satin contrasting with
the brilliant autumn leaves, the whole bright
scene and the balmy air blending into
harmonious and perfect picture of mimic
world. Such an event as that of Saturday
may we'll beckon the devotees Of fashion and
cause them to look forward to it with un.
usual anticipations Of pleasure.

GENERAL ANsoN G. MCCooK, THE REpUD-
L1cAN NOMINEE for Congress in the Eighth
Congressional district, is Of the Ohio family
that made SO conspicuous record dur
ing the war. He is a gentleman of char
lcter and ability, and, should he be elected,
will represent the district with credit and
dignity. His nomination and that of Mr..
Morton in the Eleventh are exceptionally
strong ones. They represent, personally,
The two elements that were so essential to
make the war for the suppression of the
rebellion successful General McCook as a
soldier responded to the first call for troops,
was at the first battle of Bull Run, and re-
mained in the service until the close of the
war; Mr.. Morton, rs the head of one of the
great banking firms of the country, threw
all his influence on the side of the govern
mcnt, and contributed largely toward the
support of its credit. Both nominations
are good ones.

Tho Price OF the Herald.

It was plain from the beginning that the
public would take sides with the HERALD in
its policy of compelling reduction of the
price of the paper at the news stands to thres
cents, the sum fixed as the price at which
the paper was to be sold. When the price
of a newspaper is fixed at three cents il
is only natural that it's readers should insist
upon receiving it at that price. For time
the newsmen were Of opinion that they could
reverse all this and compel people to pay
four cents for the paper when its selling
price was only three cents Many of them
have persisted in this foolish policy, but in
most instances they have been compelled to
yield or lose their business altogether.
customer who is overcharged for an article
at once withdraws his trade from the dealer,
and many of the newsmen have felt the
effects which follow such action on the part
of the public.
1t will be seen from the letters which We
print this morning that the complaints of
overcharges for the HHRALD are now mostly
confined to places at distance from New
York At the Calvert station in Baltimore
and on the BALTIMORE ana OnlO ftallrOaQ ten
cents is the price asked This is simply ex
tortion. On the Pennsylvania Railroad
the price of FIVE cents is still main
tanned. This too is extortionate, and it will
not be long until public opinion will compel
a more decent regard to an equitable price
for such commodity as the HERALD. In
Morrisania there are only three news dealers,
and these have combined to charge four
cents, regardless of the wishes Of their GUS
toners. Should another dealer 60 into the
business these conspirators will lose their
trade Immediately, and it would serve them
right This process has had much to do
with compelling the leaders in this city to
yield, and it will work well everywhere.
When the public and the HERALD unite in
reducing the price of the paper it is not in
the power of the newsmen to prevent it,
and it will not be long before the uniform
price of the paper everywhere in the neigh
borhood of New York will be three cents.

Mr. Green's Temporary Disa ppoint-
ment.

If there is anybody in the world of whom
Mr.. Green has poor opinion it must be the
body of independent contractors The
independent blind men, we believe, would
have stood manfully by him if it had not
been, first, for the weakening of the indie
pendent contractors, and, second, for the
unaccountable delay of the independent
organ grinders in coming forward to the
support of Mr.. Green. The Comptroller
will remember, we trust, that in this
struggle of his for the chief magistracy of
the city we did what we could. We told
him perpetually what he ought to do.
We urged him to urge the organ
grinders to advance to the charge.
We furnished him with copious lists
of other independent organizations. We
warned him that to the success of his in
genious plan of battle constant reinforce
ments of Independent delegations were
necessary, and thnt if he could not get the
Independent Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks to support him he ought by
oil means to get the Independent Coloniza-
ton Society to come forward. No longer
ago than last Sunday we suggested to him
that he should summon the Ancient Order
Of Hibernians, the Friendly Sons of st.
Patrick, the Irish Emigrant Society; should
invcigle with his bland and artful smile the
members of st. Patricks Mutual Alliance, of
the Father Mathew societies, of the knights
of st. Patrick, the Limerick Guard, the Ros-
common League of Friendship the Emerald
Social Club, the Connaught Benevolent
Association, the County Cavan Benevolent
Society, and SO on. In fact, we may be said
to have overwhelmed Mr.. Green with the
soundest advice he ever got and not only
this, we never on any occasion fattered him
that he would be elected. When he receives
the letter respectfully asking him to with
draw from the candidacy we beg him to
reflect. He must now see that he ought to
have taken tho HERALps advice The demo-
Gratis did, and the result Is that they will
elect their candidate for the May orally.

EVERY DEMOCRATIC ELEMENT in this city
has at last united in favor Of Smith Ely,
Jr., for Mayor, and now the contest has mar
rowed itself down to the candidates
of the rival political parties. Anti
Tammany was first to succumb to
the logic Of the situation, and this morning
we print the correspondence between
the committee of the New York county
democracy and Mr.. Ely determining the
grounds Of the surrender. 1t is evident
from the letter of the anti-Tammany COM
mittee that part of the ticket nominated by
Tammany Hall was bitter pill to the
county democracy; but oil minor objections
are overlooked. partly because of the neces-
sity of united support of the national
and State tickets, but mainly because MIR.
Ely is fit candidate for Mayor of this i'm
perial city. The Germans, too, have yielded
'their opposition, and will support Mr.. Ely
with enthusiasm. All this makes the con-
test one of which the result is already GER
hahn, and all that remains to be done is to
AstsSmins the majority.

The Eastern Trouble.

Only the Ottoman government could resist
for day the pressure that is behind tho de-
mand for an armistice, and we can only con-
ceive of the resistance of that government as
flowing from the incapacity Of Orientals to
comprehend the logic of European politics
Certainly when governments like Russia,
England, Austria and Italy join in the de-
mand that a third rate Power shall act in q
definite way there is no option for that Power
II it were the Prussia of other days its
answer would be ready in IN hour. But the
Sultan is between difficulties. It is with
him "a .fronte precipitio tergo lupus" Ho
has to dread the consequences if he defes
the will of the Powers but if he accepts
their will he has to dread other dire results,
His danger in the acceptance of the
armistice is that as he must appear
to concede to the will of the infdel
he must seem to the Moslem people
recreant to the cause of Islam. How short
shrift may be made Of a Sultan against
whom the fanatical leaders of the Ottoman
scum may choose to raise their voices the
world has lately seen. 1t is not known how
far the Ottoman army would obey its officers
against the people who quote texts from the
Koran-how much of the devotion it has
shown in Servia is due to discipline and
how much to fanaticism. 1t is there
fore uncertain whether the government
has any support whatever for its determine
ton to act on any resolution disagreeable to
the men of the mosques. These consider
atoms have induced other governments to
proceed temperately; to give time, that the
Sultan might arrange his assent, SO as to
give it satisfactory appearance at Constan-
tinople. But he has misunderstood the
clemency thus extended and used the oppor-
tunity to gain victories that make it more
difficult for him to yield. As this difficulty
is his own creation he can have no sympathy
in it from foreign capitals.

apprehended will depress too greatly the

The naming of successor to the moribund

almost as great consequence as though it
were the naming a successor to His Holi-
ness.

Some COn1ressmeu.

All, or nearly all, the Congressional nomi-
nations have now been made in the States
which choose members of Congress next
Tuesday. The list is a long one, and on
both sides of it are found some excellent
names and some quite the reverse. The
next Congress will have very important work
to do, and it is necessary that the people
should select their delegates with care and
with much less reference to party lines than
is usual. In Massachusetts,, for instance,
General Butler, DR.. Loring and Ex-Governor
Clafin ought to be defeated. None of the
three is sound on the currency and all
deserve defeat as much as Messrs Holman
and Sanders, democrats, who have Just been
beaten in Indiana, to the great advan-
tage of sound legislation. As the HERALD
is the organ of the independent voter
we subjoin below some suggestions to
this class of citizens, which occur
to us in looking over the list of nominations.
To begin with Alabama, we hope for the
election of Mr.. F. G. Bromberg, who is the
independent democratic candidate in the
First district He served in the last Con-
gress with credit, and showed himself there
a friend of sound currency, of civil service
reform and of all good legislation. In Florida
the republicans have renominated Mr.. w.
J. Purman, who ought to be defeated. In
Illinois the Fourth district has two re-
publican and two democratic candidates
Mr.. William Lathrop, independent republi-
can, has planted himself squarely on sound
principles and we hope for his election. In
the Seventeenth district Mr.. William r.
Morrison, democrat, ought to be, and prob
ably will be, reelected. He is one Of
the ablest men in the present Con-
gress In Louisiana we hope for
the reelection of Mr. Randall Gibson,
democrat, a thoroughly able man, and Of
MIR. Charles E. Nash, colored republican,
who has won favor from both sides in the
present Congress by his sensible course. In
this city we hope for the reelection of Gen
eral Elijah Ward, who would be one Of the
most useful men in the next Congress, when
we shall have legislation on commercial sub
jects, with which he is familiar. We trust
Mr.. Clarkson N. Potter and Mr.. L. P. Nor
Ton Will bASo 10 olcctcu. Lie InlTO Q1S-
trict of North Carolina ought to re-
turn once more Mr.. A. M. Waddell;
the Sixth of Texas ought to re-elect
Mr.. Gustave Schleicher, and the Fourth of
Wisconsin Mr.. w. p. Lynde. There are
doubtless many other good men on the lists
of the two parties. We have named but
few. This year an uncommonly large num-
ber of the Congressional candidates are new
men, or men unknown to general fame. We
advise the Independent voter to disregard
entirely the bonds of party in voting for
Congressman and cast his vote and influence
for the best man. The next Congress will
have work to do which will require unusual
intelligence, knowledge of public interests
and unselfish devotion to the general good.

CARDINAL AxroSELLI.-The impending
demise of Cardinal Antonelli will be the
first of very important changes in Rome ;
for it is hardly possible that the Pope will
long outlive the rupture of the intimate as
sociations of many years that will thus be
caused. His great age has frequently ex-
cited the world over his reported illness,

MILES AND THE INDIANS. General Miles
is justifying by his activity the conf
dence placed in him by the Lieu
tenant General If Sitting Bull imagined
he could winter anywhere within striking
distance of General Miles post on Tongue
River he must have been unpleasantly dis
appointed. The want of cavalry must pre-
vent General Miles from inflicting as severe
punishment on the redskins as they de-
serve, but his attack will have the
effect of rendering them apprehensive of
the future. They can no longer winter Sc
curely in the sheltered valleys of the streams
that empty into the Yellowstone, and must
wander north if they wish to be safe from
the avenging hands of the white man. The
departure of General Hazen with four COM
panies to occupy Fort Peck is step in the
right direction and one that should have
been taken long since.

Conviction OF = ForUer.

The conviction of Charles R. Beckwith
for forgery in the Court of General Sessions
yesterday is an event that will give much
satisfaction not unmingled with pain. 1t
was case peculiar to the present epoch.
Beckwith was young man Of irreproach-
able character and undoubted ability. He
had the control of an immense business and
was implicitly trusted. Taking advantage
Of the confidence reposed in him he used
theopportunity to defraud his employer, and,
it is presumed, to grow rich upon the results
Of long series Of forgeries. The crime was
Enthusiastically fixed upon him, and yet we
are told the verdict of guilty was surprise
to him and his friends. They relied upon
his good character to shield him from pun
ishment, and hoped to avoid conviction by
pointing to an unspotted business career of
many years. Even his private life
and his transformations surroundings
were appealed to as discrediting the
direct proofs of guilt How, it was asked,
could this young man have amassed this
large sum of money and yet succeed in
avoiding oil signs of its possession? 1t was
his means, nor even up to them. These
things were opposed to proofs which could
not be controverted in any other way, and it
is surprising they failed to enable him to
escape. But, after all, there is nothing re-
markable in such course, except in the
method employed to amass for
tune which was boarded as if it
had been gathered by years of toll
Mr.. Beckwith had no temptation to steal
except that which came from an insatiate de-
sire to he rich. 1t was to such a TEN ptation
as this that he yielded, and he pursued his
scheme with all the boldness of legitimate
speculation, boarding his gains as SO much
money earned, but carefully putting them
out Of sight, SO that they might not excite
suspicion. The case is one which has very
important lesson, and it is to the punish
mcnt Of crimes like this that we must look
for clearer notions of business integrity in
the future
