Coal Combinations.

Combination is IN evil of the first mag
nitude when it is resorted to by laboring
men to advance the price of wages, but it
is all right when resorted to by mine
owners to advance the price of coal.
Miners and laboring men generally have
been held up to opprobrium as the enemies
of the human race because they made cer-
tain demands as to wages and agreed to
support one another as to what was de-
manded, and mine owners and employers
have dreamed of n state OF society
in which such people might be sum-
marily taken out and hanged but
when the mine owners have an object to
accomplish it is strange in how different a
light they can regard this evil of "combina-
ton" If it is infamous for workingmen to
act together in order to protect themselves
in fight for higher wages it is certainly not
less infamous tor their employers to take
n precisely similar course in order to force
the public into compliance with their
wishes. Morally there is no difference be-
tween these two kinds of combination |;
the purpose and the processes are the same,
though the field of battle is different. But,
as the combination of the mine owners Is
organized to make dear an article of COM
mon necessity, that adds to cir course an
element of injury to the people which does
not exist on the other side.

Horace White was the editor of the Chicago Tribune
at the time of the great nre. He was succeeded
editor by Mr.. Medill. who owned much of the stock.
and who is more practical and more man of the
world than Mr.. White. The latter, however, has re-
ceived recognition from editors and readers of the
philosophical magazines which must mako him feel
somewhat proud of his position as a man of letters
Meanwhile Mr.. Medill is making one of the finest
newspapers in this country

lently, seems destined now to be finally
gratifed or finally allayed. Lest. however,
such may not be the case, the Legislature
initiated constitutional amendment last
winter providing for biennial elections OF
Governor after 1880. As the General is
only sixty years old and might make ten
more trials under the annual system be-
fore exceeding the Psalmist's limit of mans
life, they resolved to avoid five of them at
all events One of the curious features of
General Buffers present candidacy is the
introduction of method OF nomination,
common enough in the Southern States,
but rare in New England. He has not
taken the field as the nominee yet of any con-
vention, but as a self-constituled candidate
in response to popular petition. Several
delegate conventions, however, have been
called which will ratify this course.

Too Many Democratic Parties.

There are too many democratic parties in
this State just now to succeed. On Thurs
day night Tammany held meeting to de-
nounce Governor Robinson; last night anti
Tammany held a meeting to denounce Tam
many, and it looks, as Governor Seymour
said to his fellow democrats ut Utica yester-
day, as though delegates from all over the
State were going to next Wednesdays Con-
vention, not for consultation and harmony,
but to quarrel and prevent the success of
the party.
Well, the HERALD would like to see the
democrats give themselves q fair chance;
but the State Of New York is not primary
meeting, and if they cannot understand
that the democrats may as well make up
their minds to Mr.. Cornell's election. Mr..
Conkling will make stately figure in tho

knows that they will bear it and do his bid
ding whenever he needs them. He does not
often require anything of them except their
votes, but when he does they do not refuse.
Mr.. Evarts is, next, perhaps, to Mr.. George
William Curtis, the leading reformer OF his
party in this State; the stalwarts had no
use for him in 1876, until few days before
the election, when they asked him to de-
clare on his honor as a reformer that if Mr..
Tilden became President the result would
be general reputation; and, OF course, he
did it. In Ohio the other day the
administration succeeded in nominat-
ing Mr.. Charles Foster, reformer,
but the stalwarts at once raised
the ''bloody shirt" and Mr.. Foster
has obediently marched under it through
out the canvass. Nobody has the right to
find fault with this; a party must be united
to win, and the democrats should learn
this lesson. Only it is absurd and pre-
posterous to see men going about in the
disguise of reformers and pretending to be
better than others, when all they want is
bigger share of the plunder.

Gar and Kaiser.

AS it is thought that the Kaiser's visit to
the Emperor of Austria decided the Aus
trian policy in regard to the absorption Of
Slavic provinces, and SO put thorn in the
side Of the Russians, it may reasonably be
supposed that his visit to the Gear is in
tended to soothe the wounded susceptible
ties of the Muscovite. Perhaps if the au-
gust uncle and his illustrious nephew talk
politics good reasons may be given why the
Czar should not unduly resent the part of
Germany in encouraging Austria to plunge
into the Novi-Bazar speculation. Viewed
specifically. this presents a case that can
not be satisfactory in Russia. Nobody
likes to see the game he has killed bagged
by another, and that is what the Gear and
his people see when Austria gathers in
provinces that were the property OF the Otto
mans before the recent war. William will,
however, be able to point out that, examined
more closely, the case is less disagreeable,
for Germany has simply tempted Austria
into the CULTS that will some day wash her
down. These new provinces are to be a
great discord in her life and will imperil
her unity. Hungarians, Germans, Slavs
and Bohemians cannot live together in q
constitutional system, and when their fight
comes for the right of each to live sepa-
rately Germany and Russia will make q
new Poland of her, and even Italy will
claim some scraps. All this the Kaiser will
softly hint to the Czar, and we shall hear
little more of the irritation of the Russians.
The New York herald., 1879-09-06
MIR. sherman at Saratoga.

The HERALD's Washington correspondent
confirms, on the authority of Robertson
delegate to the Saratoga Convention, the
report that Governor Fenton helped to
nominate Mr.. Cornell by engaging In the
byplay of securing support for Secretary
Sherman as Presidential candidate.
When this little game was discovered
some of the Robertson men went over
to Mr. Cornell not that they liked
him, but they were not inclined
to help Mr.. Sherman at the expense
of Mr.. Conkling. Altogether the Saratoga
Convention looks more and more like an
administration defeat, and the administra-
ton has itself to blame. 1t was sure to
arouse opposition by such interference. II
the administration has policy and will
defend that it may make headway, but II
the reform pretence is only thin disguise
for bit of personal politics it will get
beaten every time.
With Mr.. Fenton's help Mr.. Conkling
now controls his party in this State; and
he will have the help of the administration
in carrying it in November, for that dare
not give Mr.. Cornell the cold shoulder.
And if New York goes republican this fall
New York will make it's Senator the Presi-
Dental candidate next year; and the re-
formers will all vote for him-after little
squirming.

The franklin Search Expedition.

The history of this expedition is con-
tinued in the correspondence given to-day,
by which the story is brought to the point
of departure for the actual search in King
William Land Tor cairns in which may be
hidden and preserved the written record of
Sir John Franklin's adventures. On the
eve almost of this practical initiation of
their labors the searchers must have found
it a great damper on their enthusiasm to
ascertain, as they did, that the narrative
upon which the expedition was founded
was entirely fictitious. They hoped to
find the man who said he had seen
in cairn written books like those
in which q ships log is kept, and
who had given to somebody spoon which
had been identified as belonging to Frank
Inns ship. They are satisfied now, as ap-
pears by the letters, that this man does not
exist, and probably never did exist, and
that an active imagination has created him
out OF scraps and perversions of records Of
real events. But they have found an Esqui-
mau who knows the precise whereabouts
of cairn, now opened, which once had
some slight records in it, and who has a
theory that under great stone which was
the base OF that cone papers may be hidden.
If the myths fade away, however, the expe-
dition deals we'll with actual facts, as may
be noted in our map, which corrects some
dang erous errors in the Admiralty charts.

Tha Ohio Canvass.

The HERALD's correspondent in Ohio
shows that, as we have before remarked,
the election there will turn to O large de-
gree on questions which are hardly touched
in the speeches. There are local quarrels
and grievances which will turn votes in
important districts there are general con-
siderations in the peoples minds which will
control their votes more than the appeals
made from two or three hundred stumps.
Our correspondent has the impression that
the German vote, so much spoken of, will
not be changed The German republicans
believe sound money to be the issue; the
German democrats think the financial issue
dead--in which they are right, by the
way--and vote Tor local seif-government.
1t is curious to read that the republican
politicians in Cincinnati are troubled by
the extreme stringency Of the bribery law

the republicans are, it seems, at their wits
end to find show it can be legally
eluded." One would think they had bet
ter leave the law alone, and show up
the gross misconduct of the democratic
Legislature in its interference with the
municipal government of Cincinnati. But
there, as here with us, the politicians treat
the city with contempt; neither side cares
for the reforms which the people need, and
the question is not of honest, simple and
economical government, but of who is to
grab the public plunder and who shall be
the next President

The WEATHER.-The effects of the disturb
ance that passed over our district on Tuesday
last have entirely disappeared and it is now
passing into the ocean through the Gulf of st.
Lawrence. Its storm energy was dissipated
very quickly when it reached the northern Dor
ton of the st. Lawrence Valley. 1t il likely to
reorganze again, however, when it comes in
contact with the humid atmosphere that over
lies the Gulf Stream, and will prove severe in
midoccan north of latitude forty. The baromc-
ter has risen rapidly throughout the central.
western and southern districts, and is now
above the mean in all sections of the country.
except over the upper lakes. In that region n
depression is moving slowly eastward. Rain
fell in the northern sections of the New
England States and in the Northwest.
Elsewhere the weather was generally
fair. The temperature remained nearly sta
tionary in the Middle Atlantic States
and the central valleys, rose on the Gulf coast
and fell decidedly in the other districts. Tie
winds have been from fresh to brisk in the North
west and over the northern lake regions, fresh
on the Middle Atlantic, New England and Gulf
coasts and light elsewhere. The disturbance over
the lakes is not likely to affect our district very
much us il moves toward the ocean. The weather
over the British Islands, although fine, is
becoming more unsettled. The barometer is fall
ing steadily and the wind continues to blow from
the east, showing that q disturbance is APP
preaching slowly. The weather in New York
and it's vicinity to-day will be- cool and fair.
