to show that the supporters Of Mr.
Conkling will have large and controlling
majority. This being assured it is the part
OF wisdom to treat his republican opponents
with respectful consideration. 1t is mex
pedient to furnish them with any excuse
for bolt, since a republican bolt is the
only thing that can really endanger Mr..
Conkling's chances of second reelection.
The cue Of the Conkling republicans is har-
mony, and it is certain that they will fur
nish no plausible pretext for an intestine
quarrel. II Mr. Conklings republican ene-
mics insist on an Endorsement of Presi-
dent Hayes his friends will of course re-
sist, because an Endorsement OF the
President would be a condemnation OF the
Senator But short of this Mr.. Conkling's S
friends will be willing to make any reason
able concessions for the sake of keeping the
party together. 1t resolution should be
offered indorsing the President they will
vote it down, not from professed hostility to
President Hayes, but because it is mex
pedient to introduce in the Convention any
subject on which the party differs and
which might disturb the harmony of the
Convention.

Free spe. ch I'm Coz many.

Ill-natured people in South Germany
used to say that in North Germany, under
its Prussian constitution, all the law and
several of the gospels were summed up in
these precepts: -"Hold your tongue; pay
taxes;' be soldier" Time has not
lightened the burden put upon the people
in any one of the particulars thus designated;
but rather the habit of oil these exactlons
has grown with its exercise and has be-
come more specific and intolerab.e as ex-
perience has taught it how fact common
in the history of bureaucratic. government.
Ali the agitation in Germany, SO far as it has
in any degree the sympathy Of the well
disposed masses Of the people, is related
to protest against the pressure exercised
under some one of the points of this old
epigram. Taxes that have made food dear
and wages small, and have thus sapped
the foundations Of popular prosperity, COM
fort and content; the military spirit that
sacrifices the welfare of the people to tbe
pride of q caste and o court-these were
hard enough to endure; but now the people
are asked 10 endure under the third head
liberty of speech an even severer re-
preston than was ever put upon
them in the past, and their represent
atives in the Reichstag are called
upon to legalize this repression. AS
originally drawn that clause in the
bill against socialistic agitation which gave
the government the right to put the press
of the country, and its speech ns well, abso-
lutely in the hands Of the police, would in
practical operation have made it crime for
any man 10 open his mouth except to fill it
with beer, and crime, also, to print n
single paragraph. Those who printed and
those who spoke would have been, in fact
thereby put upon their defence, and been
compelled to prove that what was written
or spoken had no secret relation to some
socialistic purpose. That clause was voted
down on Friday, but ON amendment has
been agreed upon in committee whichis far
less extravngant. BY this amendment con-
cord between classes or the public peace
must be endangered before even socialistic
writing can be suppressed 1t is doubtful
IL the difference is tangible, because all
turns on the Interpretation of the effect OF
any writing, and they who make the inter
probation are subject mainly to government
| inspiration.

A Dead Kings Usefuln ess.

Imperial Cesar, dead and turned to clay,
might stop hole to keep the wind away,
and be far more useful in such capacity
than he sometimes was when alive, and it
is not unlikely that his Asian prototype,
the elder Cyrus, is at present held in higher
esteem in Central Europe than he was
twenty-five centuries ago, when he roamed
about in the neighborhood of what is now
Austrian Poland with u host of soldiers,
running the crops and making things un-
comfortable for every one but undertakers.
A peasant woman in Galicia has exhumed
large quantity of gold, in value about fifty
thousand dollars, md as some of the utensils
and insignia found are such as only kings
affect, and rs history informs us that Cyrus
met in that particular neighborhood the con-
queror of all kings not now living, it is
reasonably safe to assume that those archm-
ologists are correct who declare that these
articles are relics of the founder of the
Persian Empire. Cyrus living would have
been indictable as nuisance by any grand
jury among the original inhabitants Of Gal
icia, but Cyrus dead will be tenderly re-
membered by at least one person as the
man who was wise enough to travel with
considerable valuable luggage and thought
full enough to put it where in time it would
do the most good. 1t is possible that not
every one will agree with the lucky finder
OF the treasure in considering the Persian
monarch man of singular financial wis.,
dom. For instance, there is an American
namesake Of Cyrus-a gentleman who
thinks the energy Of the west side elevated
railroad cost it an extra half million,
though he neglects to estimate the cost TO
the public and the road of lack of energy
on the east side. This gentleman will prob
ably shudder at the thought OF what twenty
five centuries of interest on Cyrus fifty
thousand dollars worth of gold would
have amounted 10. But Persian Cyrus Is
dead, and his golden ornaments and uten'
sils will probably be of more and better
use to their peasant finder than they eve'
were TO their royal owner.

Dean stanley In Am erica.

Yesterday morning Boston enjoyed on
unusual pleasure and honor in listening
to a sermon by the Very Rev. Arthur
Penrhyn Stanley, Dean Of Westminster.
This gentleman is one of the most eminent
divines of the Church of England,
and, beyond all of his clerical brethren, the
most versatile. Remarkably successful as o
student at Oxford, he earned several of the
more prominent prizes awarded for scholar
ship, and since taking orders he has made q
permanent mark in literature and the
Church by the publication OF important
biographical, theological and historical
works. Except Charles Kingsley no Eng
lish clergyman who has visited America
approaches Dean Stanley in ability, and
even Kingsley did not surpass Westminster's
Dean in intensity Of Christian sympathy,
while intellectually he was by many de-
grees Stanley's inferior. Great as are his
abilities and many and faithful as have
been his services TO the Established Church
of his country, Dean Stanley's fame and
sincere and intelligent liberality. Among
men of religious profession liberality usu-
ally indicates doubt or carelessness, but
with Stanley it seems the result of the
heartiest sense Of spiritual fellowship with
every man who loves right, hates wrong and
trusts in the uplifting and Strengthening
influence Of Higher Power, whatever may
be the name by which he designates the
Unknown. In his sermon Of yesterday, of
which we give quite full outline, and
which will be read with sincere salts
faction by good men of every faith,
the preacher tersely expressed the leading
feature Of his own belief when he said
that "in the better part Of every human
being there is spark of the Divine Spirit. Z"
Honest differences Of theological opinion
will probably continue to divide believers
as long as men live and think; but for this
very reason it is necessary to the sym
metrical progress of humanity that men
shall approach each others hearts when
heads disagree, and it is particularly graft
flying when IN influential sympathetic
spirit is manifested by man whose ten
derness is born of intellectual strength in
stead Of sentimental vacillation.

Save Me from My Friends.

If Louis Riege's Ellen Murphy is in the
land of the living, or if the missives that re-
port the death of Annie Hummel are only
coutrivances to prevent q too diligent in
ouiry as to her whereabouts, these damsels
have small reason to be thankful to their
friends who have bruited their names to the
world as possible pendents to a terrible
story. Troubles as to which these poor girls
had no other pre6ccupation than the
one absorbing anxiety that they might
be hidden from the world; that relatives,
acquaintances, ill-disposed associates, or
all who would point the finger of scorn
might not know them = these their dreadful
secrets are spread before the world with
all the particularly that examination and
cross-examination and the interviewer can
give. They went away to hide fact, and
suddenly it seems to fill the universe.
They were willing to tako oblivion at the
price of life. One Of them said, "You will
see me all right in little while or you will
never see me again" But their departure
and even the sacrifice of life they ven-
tured has not procured for them that safety
from reproach which was all they sought,
and, worse than all, perhaps they are
.'given away" by those who should have
done most to defend. This is but one Of
the minor incidents in that horrible barrel
inquest, but it is tragic enough in its way.

Our sub,erram.an Abomina,ion..

It would be circumstance remarkable
beyond precedent if this city had good
sewers Tor if Providence takes care of
people who do not take care OF themselves
in any particular whatever it is probably
not in respect to their subterranean drains.
Our sewage system has no unity Of plan
or purpose but its greatest defect is not
merely that it is patchy and undigcsted as
to its original structure, but that nearly
every part of the original structure was ir-
redeemably bad. There is, perhaps, not a
sewer in the city made ten years ago that is
not defective, while 1t is known to the au-
thorities that there are places where they
are SO gone to pieces that what they should
carry away has spread out and made
extensive subterranean morasses of the
most poisonous nature. Street after street
was severed by itself in the old times with
little regard to any other street; or IL any
thought was ever given to the relation OF

might as we'll have been left out altogether.
The varieties OF level are infinite; and as
much of the labor was done in the most cor
rupt periods of the city administration ii
has partaken largely of the general charac.
ter of chicanery in such transactions. Con-
tracts were in the hands OF one rogue and in.
spection in the bnnds of another, and walls

Tn. Canadian Prsmisrship.

There has been no doubt since the over
whelming defeat OF the liberal party in tho
elections of last week that Sir John Mac
donald is to be the Prime Minister OF the
Dominion but his defeat in the city OF
Kingston, which seemed to exclude him
from Parliament, created a hitch in the nat
ural progress of events. The Canadian as well
as tho British system requires that members
of the Ministry hold seats in Parliament,
and the personal rejection of Sir John Mac
donald by constituency which had con-
stantly reelected him for the long period
OF thirty y-four years seemed TO put him IN
an awkward predicament when the general
drift Of the elections throughout the
Dominion was SO splendid an Endorsement
of his policy. There were conservative
members enough who would have resigned
to make way for his election; but this would
have necessitated delay and have postponed
the formation of new Ministry with SIT
John Macdonald at it's head. But, luckily
for him, the constituency OF Marquette. IN
elected Sir John as its member He has,
therefore, a seat in the Dominion Parlia-
ment without delay, and the question
of an immediate change OF Ministry
is relieved of it's chief embarrass-
ment. But it still depends on Mr..
Mackenzie, the present Premier, whether
the new Ministry shall succeed at once or
await the assembling of Parliament II MIR.
Mackenzie chooses to hold on there is no
power to depose him until the new Parlia-
ment meets. There are two strong prece-
dents in the recent history Of the British
eovernm ent in favor of the im mediate resig-
nation OF. Ministry when the elections
have gone against it. Mr.. Disraeli pur-
sued this course in 1867 and Mr.. Gladstone
in 1874. But on both those occasions the
London Times maintained that the proper
course was to await the assembling Of Par
lament. In recent series of striking ar
ticles in the FortsighAy Reciep on ''The
Political Adventures Of Lord Beaconsfeld'
the writer maintains that Ministry de-
feated in the elections should hold on until
the meeting of Parliament. 'Imitating,"
says the writer, ''the example Of very
Lord Beaconsfeld in 1867, Mr. Glad
stone in the beginning of 1874 re-
signed without waiting for for
NAL vote Of want of confidence on
the part of the House Of Commons. 1t is
to be hoped that there will be no further
and future imitation of this double prece-
dent" And the brilliant writer goes on
to assign at some length his reasons why
these innovating precedents should not be
followed. We will not enter into this
discussion, which for the people of the
United States has only the interest
Of spectators. We have alluded to it at all
only to show that Canadian opinion is di-
vided on the subject, the victorious party
insisting that it is the duty Of the Macken-
xie government to resign ut once, and the
defeated party maintaining that the proper
time is on the assembling of the new Parlia-
ment. But the general DRIFT of Canadian
opinion seems to favor an immediate
change of Ministry.

The Councn with the Cheyennes.

The COuncn with the CheyenneS.
There is q marked family resemblance be-
tween reports Of councils with Indians, and
the talk Of the Cheyennes yesterday with
General Crook did not vary from the usual
model. First came many expressions OF
courtesy, loyalty and obedience, Of which it
would be wise to accept no larger proportion
than might seem sincere if the speakers
we're white men. Then there was general
complaint Of the country they were going
to as reservation; claim, d la Mrs. Gaines
and other highly civilized litigants, that
certain lauds were theirs, although other
tribes had inhabited them for years; and then
came the stereotyped complaint about poor
blankets and insufficient supplies and re-
quest for ammunition. They wanted am
munition only to shoot buffalo with; but they
were in great haste to be upon the march,
and rs q body of runaway Cheyennes is ap-
parently about to cross the proposed line
of march there is possibility that
some fighting may take place. The DISPOSE
ton of troops in the neighborhood of both
runaway and removing Indians however,
seems to be excellent, and the presence of
General Crook with the main body of the
Indians is likely to do as much as can be
effected by moral suasion, for he has pun
ished the redskins many times and severely.
Whatever the issue may be it cannot long be
deferred.
The New York herald., 1878-09-23
Gen ernl Butler's Ca IN pal u.

The friends of General Butler in cal
culating his chances of victory in the cam
paign for Governor estimate that he will
poll seventy thousand regular democratic
votes, thirty y-fve thousand republican and
thirty-five thousand greenback, OF in all
one hundred and forty thousand, which
they assert will be more than they need. If
General Butler can develop this strength
he will in all probability be elected but
can he do it? To show the liberal charac-
ter of his calculation for the figures of his
friends as they appeared in our columns
yesterday and rs they are reproduced
above, it is only necessary to recall the vote
of the last Presidential year. In round
numbers the entire number of ballots then
cast was two hundred and ffty-nine
thousand, of which Hayes received one hun
dred and fifty thousand and Tilden one
hundred and eight thousand. The vote for
Cooper was less than one thousand, but
Baker, the prohibition and greenback
candidate for Governor, received a little
over twelve thousand. According to Gen.
eral Buffers present rose-colored outlook
he will cut down the republican vote for
Hayes from one hundred and fifty thousand
to one hundred and fifteen thousand, and
the democrats vote for Tilden from one
hundred and eight thousand to thirty eight
thousand. This would give him only one
hundred and five thousand, which would
be ten thousand less than the republican
vote with the Butler guard drawn off. Of
course this result of his complicated arith-
metical problem does not suit him, so ho
again goes to his multiplication tables, and,
more than doubling the greenback vote of
1876, he packs it into his capacious carpet
bag and proclaims his victory. General
Buffers process of subtraction and addi-
ton may come out all right and make him
Governor, but it will strike great many
people that his campaign partakes good
deal Of Ben Jonson's celebrated Captain
Bobadil's plan for destroying an army.
