guard of the party. 1t is positively childish
to pretend that the Ohio endorsement of the
policy" was not mistake.
Public opinion in Western New York is very
much the same as it is among the farmers of
Ohlo. 1t would have been reckless defiance
OF it to have engrafted upon the platform of
the Rochester conventional an unqualified ap-
proval of the administration scheme of pacifi.
cation. What was said about it in that COM
pendium of principles was temperate and
kindly. There is not a line in it to which rea-
sonable exception can be taken, There was
disposition among the delegates to take ground
against the Washington authorities, but the
desire for harmony prevailed Iand conciliatory
course was determined upon. Any different
action would have amounted to a virtual sur
render to the Democracy. AS 1t is we shall
have spirited contest and the State Commit
tee are not without strong hopes of success.
1t is matter of congratulation both on the
score of decency and of regard for truth, that
the senseless hubbub which was made about
the Convention for day or tw after its adj
iournment has completely died out. The
meeting the other night reflected this improved
condition of the public temper in a marked
manner. 1t was started in spasm of wrath,
but the frenzy did not last till the night ar
rived upon which it was to be held. Perhaps
the returns from Ohio had a soberiug influence
upon the assemblage. 1t certainly was calcu-
lated to produce that eject. And now, if
people will only restrain their impetuosity till
the 9th OF November-the policy men and the
apti-policy men as well-we shall have an ex-
preston of the popular will which caunot fail
TO assist US materially in solving the political
problems of the hour. Meantime 1t isn't best
for members of the same party to get excited
and call each other names. Especially it
seems to be excessively bad taste to assail Re-
publicans-whether they be leaders or rank
and hle-because they are somewhat tena-
cious of opinions they have held ever since
their organization was formed, and convictions
SO deeply rooted and grounded in their moral
nature that an abandonment of them has in
their eyes the guilt of apostacy.
The self-restraint which an old school Re-
publican is under, when he is discussing the
Presidential policy is severe test of his pa
tience and moderation. The forbearancs
which has been shown towards the administra-
ton by the men through whose exertons it
was brought into power is deserving of high
praise. If those who profted by it presume
upon it too far they will discover their error
only when it is irremediable. YARMOUTH.

THE Shoe and Leather r eporter says: The
receipts of hides at the port of New
York for the nine months from January 1st
to October 1st were 1928, 715 ;-same time
last year, 1888, 1853; increase 6S9.952. These
figures it adds, are very instructive, and
should be carefully pondered by everybody in
the trade. They obviate the necessity OF
arguing that leather is, and is to be for some
time exceedingly abundant, because they fur
nish mathematical demonstration of the
proposition. They make plain what would
be otherwise incomprehensible, and that is
the fact that sole leather, in spite OF an active
demand for it will not command price enough
to cover its cost. All the other branches of
the trade are thriving. The shoe manufac-
turers are having thoroughly successful
season; those who turn leather to practical
account in any of the various forms into
which it is convertible are meeting with a
fair share of success, but the tanners of sole
leather.are bearing the heat and burden of the
day without requital. The figures quoted
above partially explain the reason of this. A
comparison of the quotations the past year
and the present one will render the demon
stration complete.

SOME very curious features in this sum-
mer's visitation of yellow fever to the United
States are in a measure cleared up by the
statement of a gentleman recently from the
scene of the pestilence, to Georgia paper.
1t will be remembered that the scourge made
its appearance late in the fall, after the close
of the hot summer months IN which the
danger is supposed to be greatest, and that it
struck out of the way localities, avoiding the
great aggregations of population most sub
ject to attack by epidemics. A new feature
Of singularity is also added by this same
statement which furnishes general explana-
ton. In Fernandina the ravages of the dis
ease were almost universal, while its NOR
tality was exceptional. Out of 1000 to 1000
population there were 1,100 cases of yellow
fever, including nearly every white inhabi-
tant: but out of all this disease there were on
ly about so deaths. This is extraordinary
mildness for the dread epidemic. However,
this with other peculiar characteristics of
this seasons attack seem to come from the
fact that the disease was not normal mani
festation, but purely local outbreak deter
mined by the filthiIy unclean condition of the
city, rather than the mysterious general con-
dition of atmospheric surroundings which
caused its more fatal visits in other years.
Fernandina is sluggish lsort of Southern
coast town, and is probably dirty enough at
the best of times but this particular year
the municipal authorities utterly neglected
its publication for reasons of economy, and
the ravages of the plague are the result OF
this criminal negligence. There would be a
sort of grim satisfaction to the unprejudiced
observer in the knowledge that the so deaths
reported included quorum of the city council
Still another popularity of the epidemic in
this place is that the colored people, ordinarily
exempt, have suffered largely from its raw.
ages, owing probably to their uncleanly hab'
its of living. Altogether, this summers visi-
tation is peculiar and interesting manifest
alton, and should be an impressive lesson as
to the necessity of that cleanliness which is a
sort of municipal morality.

WILLIAM E. SMITH, the Republican can
didate for governor of Wisconsin is daily gain

Democratic candidate, is not such as to com

he will lose votes on that account.

LENGTH OF THE SESSION.

Regarding the length OF the session, the stu
alton in the senate is regarded as making
brief session impossible. In the house the
question of increasing the army will probably
come up in connection with the appropriation
bill, and such a proposition will necessarily
lead to considerable debate, and as both appro-
priation and military committees would have
to act in the matter, considerable time must be
consumed on this one bill. The navy def
cheney bill can hardly pass without attracting
considerable attention from both houses. The
subject of rebuilding the Interior Department.
building must come up at once, and the condi-
tion of nearly all the public buildings here is
now known to be such as to make delay in
providing places of safety for the large mass of
public archives altogether inexcusable. In
view of these items of necessary business alone,
a short session is not expected, and those who
live at distance are quite inclined to begin
general work in earnest and push it as rapidly
as possible. since this is the pleasantest season
for work in Washington.

THE Hungarians seem minded to take
their revenge upon Russia for her work in
suppressing the revolution of 1s49, when
Kossuth and his heroic compatriots struggled
for the independence of Hungary. They
have not forgotten the hospitality which
Turkey extended to the exiles, and they are
anxious to discharge their debts of gratitude
and revenge. Many Magyar volunteers are
said to be serving in the Ottoman armies.

THE EXTRA SESSION.

So far as can be ascertained there are two
Republican Senators absent-Morton and Shar-
Oh. This, if correct will give the Republicans
four majority, with Davis independent. The
Democrats claim that Conover will vote with
them if contest for organization arises. Sena-
tor Patterson has announced over his own sig
nature that he shall vote for the admission of
Mr.. Butler of South Carolina, and similar
vote is expected from him in the case of Mr..
Spofford. There is more speculation over
these features of the situation in the Senate
than all other matters of routine. As soon as
Mr.. Spofford presents himself it is regarded as
certain that debate will arise upon the
question of referring his credentials
to the committee on privileges and
elections, precisely as in the case of Kellogg at
the special session last spring in which Mr..
Blaine took such q prominent part. As the
admission of Butler and Democrat from Lou
isiana may involve the whole question of the
reorganization of the senate committees and
its offices by the Democrats, the seating Of
these senators is not likely to take place with
out "a prolonged debate of all questions per-
tanning to the Southern ssituation and the Pres
ident's policy. The general expectation is that
much time will be spent in executive session in
debating the civil-service order and the changes
which have been made and which are to be i'm
mediat6iV announced.

RUSSIA seems to have been impelled by the
urgency of her monetary needs into the first
step of policy closely resembling that urged
upon the United States few years ago by
some demagogues of the Pendleton order.
She has authorized the substitution for GER
tain railroad bonds guaranteed by the state,
ofa similar amount of bonds payable in the
debased paper which forms the mass of the
circulation in the empire. The step excites
a good deal of apprehension, sincs it is re-
garded as preliminary to subjecting govern
ment bonds to similar pre- cess of debase-
ment. If this should be done, we. should have
an instructive example, at just about the day
when we attain the fortunate goal of specie
payments, of what might have been our fate
had the nation listened to the dishonest
pleadings of the greenback demagogues.

A PARAGRAPH has been going the rounds
Of the papers that "Hon. George F. Talbot
has gone to Washington to take charge OF
Mr.. Lynch's paper" which is not quite cor
rect. In note to the editor of the PRESS,
Mr.. Lynch explains that he is not the pro-
prietor of the National Unaon; that the jour
nal is owned by stock company, with cap
ital of 100000, of which $4,000 is paid in;
that he himself owns only one.fiith of the
stock, and the balance is held by parties in
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington, and that he has been placed in
editorial charge and expects to continue while
satisfactory to the stockholders. Mr.. Lynch
concludes his note with these words: "Mr.
Talbot very kindly consented to aid me in
starting the paper, bat no arrangement has
been made for his continuing here, and I
don't know that he would care to do so un.
