4 TEST or CHARlGTER.

"The question in regard TO the Resumption
" Act is a test of the character Of the AmerI-
"can people" This is a very simple, and on
its face a strictly nOn-partisan statement. 1t
does not express in terms any opinion as to
whether the act should be enforced or re-
pealed. 1t contains no financial doctrine, and
for all it directly asserts in regard to bonds
and currency, it might be attributed to Blaine,
or Thurman, or Ewing, or Schwab. Yet no
man in his right mind could be made to be-
leve that these words were uttered by a
Democrat, or National, or Greenbacker. 1t
is impossible to conceive of any of
these people talking about the "char-
"acter of the American people," or the
public sense of honor or the popular
regard for truth. Was a solitary Greenbacker
ever heard to assert that il would be a ma
tonal dishonOr for the Nation to redeem its
pledges Do Democratic leaders appeal to
their followers to vote for taxing the bonds
or paying them with promises out of regard
for the credit and fair fame of the country
Governor Conner is right-for the extract
cited is from his letter accepting a Ienomi-
nation on the honest money platform of the
Maine Republicans-and In these days of
uncertain "keynotes 1t is refresh
ing to hear note pitched precisely
in the true key. The financial questions
at issue are strictly tests of American
character. These questions are fundamentally
and essentially moral ones. and it is a signif-
cant fact that whenever an honest man pro-

The smallest man in the City Of New York, as he
is described elsewhere, is by means the least re-
spectacle character in it. He is a dwarf who might
have made fortune by exhibiting himself, but he
had too much selfrespect to earn his living in that
way. He is a street-sweeper who stands
about half the height of his BROOM but he has too
much grit not Guido who are twice as tall as
he is There are good many bigger and richer

Ex-Congressman c. C. B. Walker, of this
State, adds his mite to the great Democratic
controversy concerning the position which
Mr.. Tilden took or did not take on the Eiee-
toral bill. 1t is noticeable that Mr.. Walkers
version of the affair, so far as he knew It,
tends to confirm Mr.. Hewitts statements
Has it ever occurred to Mr.. Iilden, by the
way, that he probably knows something about
the matter A brief statement from him
might put an end to considerable Democratic
agony.

Melancholy reigns in all the sheds of the steam
ship wbarves as returning travellers, laden with the
spoils Of Paris, and Venice, and London, and
Vienna, submit themselves to the dread ordeal
whose anticipation has haunted them like night
mare all the voyage home. Silks, and laces, aud
art-pottery, and exqusitely fragile glass. and
Winter bonnets, are emptied upon the dock, and
bours are spent in bad temper and mendacity while
the Custom House officers make their tedious eX-
animation. The officers have an unpleasant duty 10
perform and the traveller has an unpleasant duty
which ne tries not to pay and altogether it is apt
to be a wretchcd ending to the Summers holiday.
There is much less rascality than used to pre-
vail IN the passing of passenger luggage, less
smuggling and less extortiOn; but the disagreeable
features Of the examination might still be consider
ably lessened. American travellers need to learn
that smuggling is dshonorable, and that il is wrong
to tell Ines even to Custom House odicer,-besldes
which, cheating the Government by false oath
does not pay. There are few situations in which

vantage as IN the midst Of his wearing apparel in

A New-Haven correspondent, who seems to
be thoroughly familiar with the politics OF the
State, gives this morning an interesting re-
cital of facts connected with the Senatorial
controversy in that State, to which reference
has been heretofore made in THE TRIBUNE
1t is called out by the effort which has Just
been begun by the friends of General HaWley
to fOrestall the action of the Legislature to
be elected in November, in the choice OF Sen
ator. The events referred to in the commu-
nicatiOn have been matters of controversy In
the politics of the State for several years, and
the writer of the present letter brings new
light to bear upon the subject by the publ
cation of documents which have never before
seen the light. 1t is only fair that both sides
should be heard in the matter. This having
been done, the Republicans of Connecticut
will be wise to postpone the question of the
Senatorship until after the election.

The sum of $4,000 for the yellow fever
sufferers, for which THE TRIBUNE made its
appeal, is in a fair way to be raised. The
Chamber of Commerce meeting yesterday sub
scribed nearly $4,000, and other subseriD-
lions are reported, in addition to all that have
been made before, which amount to several
thousands more.

If the campaign which General Butler has
gone away to manage is not conducted with
more shrewdness than he has shown in direct
ing the Potter investigation during the past
week, the General will emerge from the ruins
i'm November with the reputation of being
very clumsy sort of politician, after all. The
attempt, for instance to make an ugly-looklng
mystery out of Mr.. HOrne's refusal to testify,
was rs much of blunder in its way as the
precIpitation of Keaney, with his foul
and tiresome ranting, upon one OF tue
most intelligent States in the Union.
Even if Mr. Horne had had damaging secrets
in his possesson, the melodTamatic manner IN
which he was put upon the stand, and his plea
of professional obligation was elected from
him. would have been sufficient to induce the
person implicated to release the witness from
all pledges Of secrecy. A shrewd politician
would rather trust to the chances of raising a
successful issue of veracity, if revelations
were made, than have a huge insinuation
like this remain unanswered AS 1t was,
Buffers malicious purpose was so palpable
that his own witness felt bound to de-
clare. as he did Yesterday, that he knew
nothing to the discredit of Ex-Governor Young
or Mr.. Hayes, and Ex-Governor Young
promptly telegraphed that Mr.. Horne might
tell all he knew. Any attentive reader of the
newspapers will remember dozen episodes
in this investigation in which General Butler
has played the same game, apparently III the
hope that the lie, having started first would
always keep ahead of the truth. But It is a
losing game-even in politics.

Prince Bismarck's opinion that the Ottoman
Government would deem it humiliating to
make any concessions to Greece-a lesser
pcwer--is verified by the perversity with
which the Porte declines to enter into any
discussion with the Greeks in regard to the
territory accorded them in the Berlin Treaty.
In view of this bad faith, Prince Bismarck's
semi-Official organ justly remarks, in effect,
that the Powers must now determine what
fheY are going to do about IT.

Cheese Made from Potatoes.

A foreign paper says cheese is made
from potatoes in Thuringia and SaxOny
in the manner described below. Posi-
bly, the process may be found worth try
ing if not profitable in this country
After having collected a quantity of
potatoes of good quality giving the pref
erence to large, white kind, they are
boiled in u cauldrOn, and after becOm-
ing cool they are peeled and reduced to
a pulp, either by means Of CRATER or
mortar. To FIVE pounds of tn pulp,
which ought to be as equal as possible,
is added one pound of sour milk and the
necessary quantity Of salt. The whole
is kneaded together. and the mixture
covered up and allowed to lie for three
or four days, according to the season.
At the end Of this time it is kneaded
anew, and the cheeses are placed IN lit
tie baskets, when the superfluOus mOis-
ture escapes. They are then allowed to
dry in the shade, and placed in large
vessels, where they must remain Tor ID
DAYS. The older the cheeses are the
more their quality improves. Three
kinds are made-the first and must
common is made as detailed above; the
second, with four parts of potatoes and
two parts of curdled milk; the third,
with two parts of potatoes and four
parts of cows or ewes milk. These
cheeses have this advantage over other
kinds, that they do not engender worms,
and keep free for number of years,
provided they are placed in dry situa-
ton and in well closed vessels.

Prince of Bait enherg, son of the Car

ton to marry this candidate with the
Cars 16-year-old niece, issue of the
morganatic union of his sister, the Grand
Duchess Marie Nicolaevna, with Count

his accession to the Belgian throne
would mean the Outstanding of the new

people, may well inspire hope that if
the new Principally does not develop
into a warlike Power, such as that
which toward the close of the ninth cen

gates of Constantinople and imposed
terms of peace on the Greek Emperor,
it may prove a vigorous, prosperous,
