A NEW YORK clergyman, himself an Irish
man, refused to call upon his congregation
for aid for the suffering poor in Ireland be-
cause he did not believe the restitution was
80 great that the British government could
not relieve it. In other words, because one
people neglected the duty incumbent upon
it of providing for its own poor, all other
peoples are absolved from responsibility even
though thousands may die of starvation.

A MILITARY MIN FOR PRESIDENT

Gen. Grant, accompanied by his family
and Gen. Sheridan, is now sojourning as the
guest of the President of what is called by
courtesy the Mexican republic. lie has re-
ceived every honor that could be extended to
him, and is reported to have been particu-
larly pleased with the review of the military
force had in his honor. The display was a
large one, as a considerable force is needed
in that country to prevent the deposition of
the President by whatever adventurer may
arise to claim the Office.
1t is not surprising, he being military
man, that Gen. Grant should display such
extraordinary interest in the maneuvers of
military bodies. But it is at the same time
suggestive of what be would endeavor to
have inaugurated in this country-a mill
tary autocracy. Wherever he has been dur
ing the past two years, he has paid
especial heed to military affairs. In Eng
land, in Germany, in Russia and in Calcutta
he was conspicuous at the military reviews,
and manifested great interest in the organi-
cation. armament and management of the
armies. This was partly due to the natural
bent OF his mind, but mainly, we believe, to
desire on his part to introduce the Euro
pean system into this country. While alb
sent he was fully aware of the fact that his
party would endeavor to once more install
him in the Presidential Office. 1t was there
fore natural for him to turn his attention to
those branches of government which he in
tended to make use of when again placed in
| office of authority. Under these circum-
stances it is significant that he paid particu-
lar attention to the management of armies.
| Can it be possible that if again
called to the highest Office in the
gift of the people he will endeavor to en-
graft upon our system those most obnox-
ious features of European government that
are represented by their armies?
Grant long ago demonstrated that he was
a worshiper at the shrine of force. He at
tanned his eminence by the exercise of force.
He maintained the power of his party by the
employment of force, overriding both the
constitution and tie laws. By threatening
force he assisted in concentrating the great
electoral fraud of 1876, by which man not
chosen was installed in the Presidential Of
fee. By the use of force he hopes to secure
his own election and Inauguration
ss President, for g. third time,
of this republic. If he attains
his purpose it will signalize the overthrow of
free institutions in this country. The pro-
curement of large standing army will be
the first object that will attract his attention,
and that army will, of course, be under his
direct supervision and direction. Unfortu-
nately the Democratic Congress was unable
to repeal the laws which authorized the use
of troops for unlawful purposes, and he will
enter upon the Office, if elected, unhampered
by such inconvenience as legal restrictions.
1t will therefore be easy for him to influence
elections by intimidation of armed forces,
and thus perpetuate his power. If he goes
into the White House he will never have it
till he is carried out to his last resting place.

lie duty (?) they performed was to attend
caucuses and endeavor to pledge delegates to
the conventions of the Republican party to
vote for Sherman as Presidential candi-

lican papers in this country that usually
speaks the truth, irrespective of who may
be injured by it, and We accepted its utter
ances and the sworn testimony of reputable
witnesses as good proof for our assertion, es'
pecially as both were backed by other good
evidence of the fact. We believe the state

METROPOLITAN THEATER.
The "World of Fashion" drew better
audience at the Metropolitan last evening,
and all present seemed delighted with the
play. 1t is something in different shape
than the usual society plays, and possesses
many merits. The plot is not particularly
strong, but possesses enough of the dramatic
to keep one interested. 1t runs along in 9
smooth, quiet way, more like real life than
is generally witnessed in this class of plays.
The costumes worn by Grace Garland and
Clara Baker are particularly elegant, and
causes an involuntary exclamation of "Oh
my, isn't that just too perfectly elegant for
any use," from the ladies as each new toilette
is shown. At the matinee this afternoon
the ladies' will have the last opportunity to
study fashion from this play. In the even.
ing the old favorite "Flowers of the Forest
or the Green Lanes of Old England" q
