Mr.. Kelly,s Sound Policy.

We reprint elsewhere two brief articles
from yesterdays Erening Express, one of
Mr.. Kelly's two papers, which declare in
very few and, as it seems to us, very sensi-
BILE words, the ground on which he and the
large body of democratic voters who agree
with him stand. The democrats of this
city, Mr.. Kelly declares, have no prede-
termined candidate of their own. They
are not going to the Convention to crowd
q candidate on that body. They leave the
selection of ticket entirely to the nomi-
mating Convention, and twill heartily sup
port any ticket the democracy of the State
may make. But, on the other hand, they
do not intend to submit to the coercion of
anybody who may go to the Convention de-
termined on one man and one man only;
and he and they say, ''The democracy of
the city cannot under any circumstances
support Lucius Robinson for Governor"
That seems to us fair and just, and after
such notice as this it is of course imposs-
BILE, because it would be fatal, for the Con-
vention to renominate Governor Robinson.
To do so would be to say that the Conven-
ton met not to agree, but to disagree; it
would be equivalent to a declaration either
that the party has nobody but Mr.. Robin
son fit to be Governor or that those who
insist on nominating him desire to defeat
both him and the party.
Ii Mr.. Kelly and the New York demo-
Gratis had selected a candidate of their own
and should insist on his nomination and
Dnone other, that would be IA different aft ,ir.
I They might justly be called factious
mischief makers. But their case is
precisely the reverse of this. They
name no candidate; they promise to
give their hearty support to whoever the
Convention may select. They only
ask that it shall not bo Mr.. Robinson.
They certainly have right to such an ex-
ception. We take it for granted that the
Convention will act sensibly and lay Mr..
Robinson's name aside If after this any
one shall mention it. If he is wise he will
publicly withdraw his name before the
Convention meets. He cannot afford to
make himself the tool of marplot, and we
have no idea that he wants to defeat his
party next November.

in the government, l know that the
democratic party has many members
capable of carrying these out; but
that without united and harmonious ac-
ton in the party it is in vain to
expect its success. Iannounce, therefore,
that am not and will never again be
candidate for any Office whatever; that 1
shall hereafter take no part in conventions
or in the selection of candidates for office;
but that will give my earnest support as
private citizen to the candidates of my
party, in this State this fall, and in the
country at large next year, whoever they
may be. S. j. TILDEN."
Mr.. Tilden is too shrewd and able man
not to know that such declaration from
him at this moment would almost certainly
give New York to his party in November.

Well. What of Its

The Sun does not like General Ewing.
That may be bad for General Ewing, or for
the Sun, as it may turn out.
But the Sun does not like an income tax,
either, and it objects to both General Ewing
and the HERALD because neither Of these
goes into Mysteries at the mention Of this
terrible impost.
Why does the Sun experience such horror
at the thought of an income tax? Well,
probably for several reasons, and one Of
them is stated in these words:-
There is one public journal which defends the
bold invasion Of the constitution which effected
by the enactment of the income tax and advocates
its re-enactment. The name of that journal is the
New YoRK HERALD. 1t is the same journal which
compared the constitution of the Southern Confed-
eracy with the constitution OF the United States and
drew conclusions favorable to the constitution of
the Southern Confederacy.
That is true at any rate. We have been
reading over the HERALD's article on the
Confederate constitution; it appeared on
the 18th of March, 1861 and we wish
the Sun would now reprint it and tell us
where it disagrees from the HERALD.
The Confederate constitution, as the
HERALD remarked at the time, contained
commended. 1t made the Presidential
term six years. for instance, and prohibited
the recollection Of the incumbent. Many of
our wisest Northern statesmen have desired
to Incorporate such measure in our own
constitution. 1t Itprovided that subordinate
officers of the several departments Except
the diplomatic) should be dismissed only
for dishonesty, incapacity, ineficiency,
misconduct or neglect of duty" and thus
established permanent civil service, some-
thing which many of the ablest statesmen
in the North have urged for years upon the
country. 1t provided that appropriations
should be passed only by a two-thirds vote
of both houses, except in those cases where
they had been asked for by q Cabinet OFF,
Ger and recommended by the President.
This still seems to US an excellent preven-
tive OF jobs ii it stood in our constitution
to-day it would exterminate the lobby 1t
gave to Cabinet officers a voice, but no vote,
in both houses. A good many republicans
and democrats in the North believe this
wise to-day. We might go on with other
provisions, but this is enough for to-day.
But suppose even that the HERALD had
been utterly wrong in 1861, in praising
some features of the Confederate constitu-
tion? would that make the income tax wrong

The English Mission.

Mr.. Welsh has resigned and will at once
return home from London. Republican
political circles are agitated about the ques-
tion who is to succeed him in what by COM
mon consent is a very desirable place.
We take it for granted that Mr.. Hart
ranft's numerous friends have already seen
the President and Mr.. Evarts. There has
been nothing going for a good while for
which they have not strongly urged him.
Then we notice Mr.. George W. Childs is
spoken of, and he would receive most
friendly welcome in London-only he
does not want the place. Mr.. L. p. Nor
ton, Of this city, has also been mentioned.
Mr.. Wayne MacVeagh, of Philadelphia,
could probably get it if he wanted it, for
he is a close friend of the President; we
hear it suggested also that Mr.. Evarts him
self would enjoy two years in England, and
that possibly he would like to settle the
new fishery disputes by word of mouth
with Lord Salisbury. Mr.. Evarts would be
an acquisition to London society; but Mr..
Hayes would hardly let him go out of the
Cabinet
Why not make General Grant Minister to
England? He knows everybody there, and
is greatly liked; he has daughter married
in England, and would doubtless like to be
near her; he must be nearly tired of travel
ling over the world by this time, and his ap-
pointment to London would be in every
way fit, popular and excellent. Why not
nominate General Grant?

THE WEATHER.-The barometric pressure
continues in "a disturbed condition over the
country, owing to the influence of the depression
that is moving over the lake and st. Lawrence
Valley districts and that of another advancing
from the Rocky Mountain regions. The zone of
lowest pressures now extends over the northern
districts from Nova Scotia to the Northern Mis-
souri, Valley, and that Of high barometer in the
South Atlantic and Gulf States. In the latter
section however, the pressure has q tendency
to fall, but there nre indications of the de-
velopment Of any disturbance. Rain fell in the
lower lake regions, central valleys and on the
Gulf coasts. The weather in the other districts
has been generally fair. The temperature rose
decidedly in tho Middle Atlantic States
and the Northwest varied but little in
tile central valley districts and fell III
the other sections of the country. The winds
have been fresh over the lakes and on the Mid
die Atlantic and New England coasts and light
elsewhere. A tornado is reported to have de-
vclopcd over the southern portion OF Texas and
destroyed several buildings. The conditions
now over the central valleys and the north
western sections of the South Atlantic States
are favorable to the development of such phe-
no,ucna The weather over the British Islands
is fine. but the pressure is falling and there are
indications of % change The weather in New
York and it's vicinity to-day will be slightly
warmer and fair. Tomorrow it promises to he

Let Us Have More Rapid Transit.

Let Us Have More Rapid Transit.
Everybody knows that rapid transit above
Harlem Bridge is as great public necessity
as was rapid transit below Harlem Bridge.
Any person, from the most substantial
citizen down to an Alderman, who pretends
to decry rapid transit railroads at this time,
when we are beginning to reap the rich
benefits they secure, simply makes himself
ridiculous. The citizens of the northern
part of the island, the most beautiful loca-
tion in the State for private residences, are
all in favor of the improvement, and know
it to be work of the utmost Importance to
the progress and prosperity of the city.
The proper way to do is to set about secur-
ing the construction of a rapid transit road
or roads above Harlem Bridge in the
simplest possible manner, and without any
intrigue, combination or jobbery of any
description. The law gives the people the
right to such improvements when they
desire and require them, and the Aldermen
will scarcely venture to oppose them in the
face Of the universal sentiment in their
favor. If necessary let the Mayor appoint
new commission for additional rapid
transit in the upper part of the island, and
let the work be done as speedily as pos
sible and in business-like, honest man
ner. All this wriggling and twisting over
the matter looks very much like corrupt

Nihilism In Russia.

Because less has been said in the news
lately of the Russian troubles than was said
some time since it must not be supposed
that the repressive methods of Russian au-
thority have really put down or in any
considerable degree overcome the activity
of the revolutionary ferment in that coun-
try Doubtless General Gourko has made
it rather less safe to indulge in certain
of the antics that the nihilists per-
mitted themselves in the capital but it
ought to be noted that the things he has
suppressed were indeed rather the antics
than elements of the earnest activity of the
revolutionary propaganda. They were the
horse play of the revolutionists These
people found themselves so easily the
superiors of the Russian police that they
poked fun at it by indulging in all
sorts of pranks that were not q
necessary part Of their programme,
yet involved death upon discovery !;
and they did this not because it especially
amused them to play at life and death in
that way, but because it pleased them to
show how safe any man was SO long as
only the police was to be depended upon
for exposure Our correspondence. from
Kieff, printed to-day, shows the present

tent, and shows that it only mines the
