The consent of Ex-Governor Seymour to
act as the presiding officer of the Robinson
meeting at Utica last evening shows very
clearly on which side his sympathies lie
in the present intestine conflict in
the democratic party of the State.
He is not on the side of the
boilers, but on the side of the regular
ticket. But with the considerateness
which is part of his character he abstains
mour addresses his remarks to the young
men of the party, reminding them that the
leaders in this dissension are men pretty
we'll advanced in life, who will soon be
off the stage. and that the future hopes
of young democrats may be obstructed and
embarrassed by participation in bolt
which the sober sense of the party is pretty
sure to condemn. 1t is great deal better
that aspiring young men who hope for po-
litical distinction be found acting in har-
mony with the general sense of the party
than to be making ugly records which may
come back to plague them and OBJ
struct their usefulness in future years.
This is a mild and courteous way of saying
that it is dangerous for ambitious young
democrats to countenance Mr.. Kelly's bolt,
when it is probable that Mr.. Kelly and his
supporters will be politically engulfed and
be remembered only as a warning and re-
proach. Young men who have faith in dem
ocratic principles and desire the success of
the democratic party would make a mistake
if they should ally themselves with mutt
nous faction, desperate enough to sacri-
fee the party to their mortified pride and
revengetul passions.

Mrs. Prices story.

We publish to-day the narrative of Mrs.
Price, giving her experiences during cap
tivity with the Utes. 1t will be found fully
as interesting and pathetic as were those Of
Mrs. Meeker and her brave daughter We
learn from this latest instalment that Mrs.
Price is still quite young, though the mother
of two children, and she is evidently
typical frontiersman's wife, for she has
lived many years among tha Indians and
become Injured to the privations and vicis-
situdes of frontier live. Though her de-
scription of the attack on the agency and
the massacre Of the white men differs but
little from those Of the agents wife and
daughter. we have fresh glimpses of the
character of the Utes, which are of great
value We can imagine the agony of the
wife at seeing her husband shot down, and
her terror while endeavoring to save her
little ones. Our sympathy goes unbidden
to this unfortunate woman on read
ing the story Of her sufferings as
captive, while her heroism, SO modestly
described, compels admiration. The mar
ratives OF these three bereaved ladies re-
mind one of the days when only a fringe of
the continent was held by white men,
and they show how little the Indian nature
has changed during the past two hundred
years. Though these redmen no longer use
the tomahawk. but adopt the more effective
repeating rifle, the same cruelty and savage
hate of the white race is apparent. This
fact proves the absurdity of any ''peace"
policy, and shows how necessary it is that
all the tribes should be placed under the
care of the army,

Our vivacious contemporary, the World.
will be pleased TO know that we have re-
ceived special cable despatch from Cairo,
seen that the situation has become interest
ing and calculated to arouse the patriotic
impulses of every true American. The
creditors of the Egyptian government have
not seized the obelisk but threaten to do
so. The gallant Commander Gorringe
American naval officer He has hoisted the
American flag over the granite column and
put policemen from the Consulate on guard.
Like the lamented General Dix, he threat
ems to shoot on the spot any sacrilegious
creditor who proposes to haul down the
American flag.
In other words, the obelisk is now sur
rounded with a blaze of glory, Commander
Gorringe as the central figure defending
the honor of the flag. This is an inspiring
spectacle. Mariette Pacha, the Director
Of the Excavations under the Khedive, is
opposing the removal of the obelisk, on
the ground that under the convention be-
tween the Khedive and the European
Powers no work of art shall be permitted
to leave the country. This is an interest
ing point, and we are curious to see how
the Representatives of the European Powers
will regard it.
We note with interest that our vivacious
contemporary is printing series Of cable
dispatches. We should be glad to have
these for the HERALD, and have no doubt
when our contemporary looks over the
rules of the Associated Press he will not
deprive US of that pleasure.

The London Libels.

Our special despatch from London re-
counts the latest steps taken in the pro-
ceedings against the editor of Truth for
libel. For the time the editor. Of the Daily
Telegraph escapes from the processes of tor
ture which were tried upon him by his
opponent, and the case stands aside to
give opportunity for the counsel on
either side to argue a point of the law
of procedure. Eminent authorities have
advised the magistrate that he has no right
to sit in judgment on the point whether the
libel may be justified, and he refuses to
hear further testimony, direct or indirect,
on that topic. The defendant will, how
ever, move for u mandamus to compel this
hearing, and thus from step to step judg-
ment is adroitly delayed, and Truth makes
the most of this slow process of the laws.

Lord Derby.

Lord Derby, as the London dispatches
report, has been invited to withdraw from
the Carlton Club. aud, as is told at large
in our London letter, his good will toward
the liberal party is regarded in conserva-
tive circles with an irritation of which this
is only one of many signs. Movements of
this kind are commonly significant, not SO
much because OF the personal impor-
tance of this or that man who goes
over to the party he formerly opposed,
but because that mans action indicates O
state of opinion that may be general or
widely extended, and movement Of the
political thought of the nation from one
side to the other. Lord Derby is not an
eccentric man nor q political enthusiast
He is conservative by conviction to q point
which has provoked public reproach in
other days, and if man of this sort
openly abandons as dangerous the tory
party, what are all the more energetic or
more hasty men of the nation likely to do 1?

This, according to the HERALD OF the 29th'
was moving northeastward and gave indica-
tions that it would merge with the dis
turbance that was developing energy
as it moved over the lake dis
tricts toward the ocean, and con-
sequently the weather in the Atlantic
between latitudes thirty and forty-hve
would become very stormy. That such
meeting took place is pretty well verified
by the cablegram from London, which
states that the steamer Faraday, that Is en-
gagged in laying the new French cable, en-
countered terrific cyclonic storm in lati-
tude "A degrees and longitude 56 degrees,
because the disturbance that moved over
the lake regions began to move into the
Atlantic off the Nova Scotia coast on the
night of the 2Sth, and therefore it's eastern
margin would have reached longitude 56
by the morning of the Goth. After wreck
ing q number Of vessels on the Nova Scotia
coast the storm has started to visit our
European friends, and is likely to give
their meteorologists something to do after

A storm ON the March.

When the little depression, within which
the pressure was not below the mean, COM
menced its eastward march across the lake
regions from the Northwest it gave very
little indication that it would develop into
the great storm which caused 80 much de-
struction to shipping and othor valuable
property along the Northeastern coast 1t
was first noticed by the HERALD Weather
Bureau as q very slight depression, NOV
ing into tho Northern Missouri Valley, on
the 25th, and IL was then stated that
1T is likely TO pass eastward over
the British possessions, affecting our
district but little, about Wednesday," This
was justified by the fact that we had slight
rain showers while the depression was
passing north of us OH the evening of the
2Sth, but tho wind did not increase very
much. On the Goth matters became more
complicated by the appearance of dis
turbancs in the vicinity Of the West Indies.

sition. though not the ungracious-not to
say brutal-manner of it. II. however, Mr..
Kelly's opposition should bring about the
defeat, not of Mr.. Robinson alone. but Of
the whole democratic State ticket if Mr..
Kelly should by his efforts hand over the
whole State government to the republi-
cans-well, in that case we should have
very little comfort to offer Mr.. Kelly. He
is q democrat and We suppose not all his
remarkable merits as o statesman nor all
his exalted purity of purpose will
in that case save him from the
resentment of his fellow democrats.
He may by shrewd ''arrangements"
save his own city ticket from defeat, but
we fear this will only increase the dislike
of the democrats at large to his methods,
which will seem to them utterly selfish.
He may, with the secret help of republi-
cans, continue for q short time to rule in
city affairs; but his own party will shun
him as a marplot and bargainer, while the
republicans, though they will continue as
long as possible to use him as convenient
club with which to beat their opponents,
will make haste presently to drop him.
Whatever the result may be next Tuesday
we have really very little consolation to
offer Mr.. Kelly.

Freedom OF the Press.

On Thursday His Honor, the Surrogate
of this county, expressed his opinion that
there should be law to punish, ''by fine
newspaper that published comments upon
the merits of any case on trial before a
court; and we called attention to the cir
cumstance that distinct clause in the
State constitution would probably stand in
the way OF the enforcement OF such law.
In another column wepublish to-day COM
munication from the Surrogate in presumed
response to our observation, which he
seems to regard as unjust to him. But
the Surrogate does not confne himself to
the point we made. He argues case on
which lie has no opponents, and states
clearly principle as to which all sensible
men in newspaper offices or elsewhere are
of the same opinion. If we merely stated
reasons why the Surrogates arguments are
not good we should. by appearing to
oppose them, seem to take it for granted
that we had advocated an extreme indul-
gence in the right of comment on undecided
cases. In common with all newspapers we
recognize that comment on cases before the
courts must be restricted within definite
limits and not PREJUDICE the issue on trial.
Our criticism was directed to o totally
different point, which was this:-The
Judge of one OF our most important courts
permits himself to declare from the
bench that we should have a law which,
framed and executed in the spirit of his
proposition, would completely set aside
and nullify one of the most important guar
antees of public liberty inscribed in our
constitution. If as the Surrogate now ex-
plains, or seems to explain, he only proposes
to prevent the abuse OF this right, that
gives his declaration different spirit but
in proportion as it puts in a better light his
respect for the constitution it shows him
as not very happy in the clear expression
Of his meaning.
