This Is giving too many to BLAINE and BRIs-
TOW, whom the Times favors, and too few to
Senator CoNKLINo, whom 1t opposes. Besides,
we fancy that before the delegates get to Gin
cinnati they will sec several things In q new
light. What, for instance, will be their opinion
Of Mr.. BLAISE's selling to Messrs. FISHER and
ADAMS a share in the Northern Pacific fran
chise, which he had acquired DOUBTLESS ia re-
turn for services privately rendered to that I'M
dertaking while he was Speaker OF the House
OF Representatives. Will there be 2o9 OF those
delegates who will vote for BLAINE :fter they

il Roscoe CoNKLISG. We do not know that he
will get the nomination, though many we'll in-
formed politicians are very sure Of Ii but New

moderation and discretion In the amusement

A painful incident has again called at
tention to the Royal Academy IN London at the
very moment OF the opening of its annual exhi-
biuon. on the evening before the grand
banquet, which precedes the opening MAY u, an
artist Of much ability died OF n broken heart,
the result being brought about by the persistent
refusal OF the Academy to recognize his WORK.
THIS artist was Thomas Earl, sculptor, a pupil
OF Chantrey's, the excellence Of whose Work was
recognized everywhere but among the Acade-
micians. During the last three years he had de-
voted himself To awork pronounced by good
judges to be OF unusual merit, Alexander the
Great" and on receiving notification that this
was rejected, he lay down and died without a
word.

The testimony Of the naval officers be-
fore the Naval Committee agrees with what we
have said regarding the eight new sloops Of war
built under SEooR Robertson, most OF them by
bis friends on tho Delaware river. They are Of
no other use than to carry officers and their
families about. As specimens Of naval archi-
lecture and marine engineering they are be-
meath criticism. What else could have been ex-
pected, when they were planned by lot OF So
called naval constructors, whose chief knowl-
edge OF shipbudlng was derived from bewing
ship timber and shaping knees in navy yards.
When they were nrst proposed, the best profess
sional authority In the country condemned these
sloops.

How aggravating the experiences of
the man whose eye is fixed on the White
House, and whose hopes cluster about Gin
cinnati or St. Louis Not more changeful ia
a ncklo maiden's face than the features Of the
political situation with reference to the success
OF ambitious seekers for Presidential nomina-
tion. We can give no satisfying hope to any Of
these statesmen The political future Is
shrouded In doubt. But there Is the consolation
that we shall know In month or six weeks
just who the candidates are. Let us, therefore,
all await the result in patience, and In particular
let the asplrants for nomination keep cool and
happy. Perhaps they may get the prize, and
perhaps they may not. Perhaps, too, In the
long run 1t will be better for them that they
should not get 1t. 1t IL never safe to assume
that because we are very eager for a thing we
should have 1t. Moreover, Mr.. CHARLES FRAN.

While the plea of insanity without rec

common as to excite dersion, and while many
cold-booded murderers have doubtless escaped

which this defence has been vainsy urged where

Decoration Day occurs on Tuesday next,
the 3Oth. 1t is unquestonably fitting thing TO
bear In mind those who have suffered for us and
our institutions, though all experience teaches
the wisdom and indeed the necessity OF obit-
Grating the bloody traces Of civil strife, II ma
tional harmony ia to ensue. Nor is the once Of
decorating graves in the mass ono that COM
ports with our Northern nature, as II does
with the more fervld Southern temperament
Though individuals may get consolation in
strewng flowers on the fresh graves Of their
kindred, yet 1t seems out OF line with our habits
for men to march In procession to lay floral
tributes on the graves Of a dead army OF sol
diers. Decoration Day does not appeal to the
Northern sentiment, and 30 is not and never
will be here AT the North day generally and
heartily observed.
