They will find, as Washington man did, that they can't stand Democracy. Says this man: "A short time since we had 8 lit tie private meeting and I was the only loyal man in the room. Dr. Hamilton, the man who named his son after J. Wilkes Booth made speech in which he said, Just wait until the Hancock inaugural procession starts for the Capitol and we'll show them what a rebel yell is Look here, said I, I'm a loyal man and I ve had all I want of the De- mocracy already"

THE COST OF FALSE IDEAS

The character and ability of the men who l haed the parties in the present campaign are l proper subjects of discussion, and they will have an influence upon the decision of the contest. But far more important are the ideas which these men represent. True ideas
 of government lead to prosperity, peace and l progress. False ideas lead to discomfort, dis content, decay and destruction. The par ties now contending have a history, and what each has done is matter of record, to which we can go and ascertain which party has, in the main, been guided by the best ideas. It is not our intention at this time to go over the record and show the immense su-
 periority of the ideas which have inspired the
 Republican party over those which have ins
 spired the Democratic party, but we desire
 to impress upon our voting readers the fact
 that false ideas of government cost so much
 when carried out, that they should be fought against for the sake of economy, if from no higher motive.
 Take thefaIse ideas of the Democratic party which brought on the rebellion. We say nothing of the agony and sacrifice these ideas cost. These expenses are beyond estimate. The following figures show a part of what these false ideas cost in money;

CAN M CAREY NEW FORK1

It being well understood that the brunt Of
the Presidential contest must be borne in two
OF three Of the sO-called doubtful States, the
friends of particular candidates are busy try
inc TO demonstrate that their man, and their
man only, can "carry New-YOrk," or carry
Indiana" OF break the Solid South. We hear,
for example, every now and then. that Mr.
Blaine could not possibly obtain the electoral
votes of New-York, since the Conkling in6u-
ence would be dead against him in the can
vass as well as in the Convention.
We believe that this prediction does great
injustice to the New-York Senator and to the
Republican voters Of the State. The support
ers of Mr. Conkling viii indicate their prefer
ences by frank and open contest before the
nomination; after the Convention they will
support the nominee; for the Republican party
does not purpose initiating the faction fights
Of Tilden and Kelly. But so far as the rela-
tons of Messrs. Conkling and Blaine are con-
cerned there is certainly no cause for uneasi-
ness. The "Conkling influence may or may
not be essential to success, but in any case
| Mr.. Blaine will certainly have it if he prove
the victor at Chicago. 1t wOud be the pOliti-
cal ruin of Mr.. Conkling to impeIil' the
success Of the party, especially in a
! critical Presidential campaign, by q half
hearted support of the regular choice
of the National Convention and there is not
the slightest reason for suppOsing that he OF
any of his associates will think for a moment
OF any such treacheTOus course. Whatever
rivalry there may be between the two Senators
Is legitimate and honorable. In the Cincinnati
Convention OF 1876 Mr.. Conkling WAS one of
Mr.. Blaine's most resOlute and persistent OPP
ponents but it was arranged that if Blaine
obtained the nomination, Governor Woodford
should at once take the floor and, speaking as
Mr. Conklng's friend should formally pledge
the electoral votes Of New-YOr)l to the Maine
statesman and the pledge would have been
Loyalty kept, so far as the power of the Re-
publican leaders of the State extended. Mr..
Conkllng's friends wOnld have done their best
for Mr.. Blaine in 1876, and they will do their
best for him in 1880 if the occasion present
itself.
Those who assume that Mr.. COnking would
not heartily support Bl,ine assume at the same
time that he would support Washburne. This
would be more embarrassing. COnkling and
Washburne quarreled bitterly, long while
ago. Thy have not spoken together for twenty
wears If the carrying Of NewYOrk is to de-
pend upon the personal friendships or enmities
of one distinguished political leader. then Mr..
Washburne, who is talked of as the compro-
mise candidate to reconcile all rivalIies and
animosi,ies, is the one man we ought especially
to beware OF.

SEX IN SCHOOL ELECTIONS.

The course OF woman suffrage never did run
smooth The women Of this State owe the
Legislature more thanks for its intentions
than for its execution, for the measure OF
citizenship which it recently conferred upon
them was very scant. The policy OF making
women eligible as school officers was heartily
favored by Governor Cornell in his Message
and Immediately carried into effect by the Leg
slaturc. The Senate, not to be outdOne by the
Governor, amended the act, at the suggestion
of Mr.. Sessions, so as to permit women to
vote at elections of school officers as well "a
TO be eligible to Office. On the following day
the Senate bill was accepted by the Assembly
rs q substitute for the original act, and was
nassed by a vote of 81 to 3. So meagre was
fine minority wnich measured the resistance
offered TO this reform that the champions
of Woman Suffrage were completely taken
aback. Almost without an effort on their part
they were given standing room at the polls
and encouraged to invite an extension OF
their political privileges in the future by a
proof Of their willingness to use what il now
given. The concessions made to the SEX how
ever, are. mot broad. The doors to the polls
stand aiar, but not vide open; and there Is
room inside for very few.
The Albany letter and local news article
which will be found on another page of this
issue, explain how this has come about. The
clause inteIpoated il the act on the inspira-
ton OF the moment. without a thorough ex
animation of the existing statutes proves to
be as ambiguous in phrase and IA unsatis-
factory in effect as hasty and ill-digeSted leg
islation invariably is. IL restricts the right Of
suffrage to Il small class. Women will have
no chance to vote in cities like NewYork,
where school officers are appointed by the
Mayor or the Board of Education or even
in cities like Rochester, where Schcol Com
niissioners are elected. The Legislature en-
powers them to vote lat any school meeting"
but with three exceptions (Rome. Vonkers
and Kingson) there is not single city IN the
State where "school meetings" are held.
Even in the three cities where the district

What is TO become of the destitute Irish
Our special correspondence from Dublin has
shown how widespread and acute is the pow
crty affecting Ireland. The letters Mr. Red
path sends from the parish priests in the
famine-strickcn districts bear such strong IN
ternal evidences of honesty and candor and
corroborate each other so fully that there re-
mains no room TO doubt the reality and mag
nitudc Of the calamity. These Irish priests
are daily brought face to face with the suffer
ings of their poor DaIlshloners, and their
duties give them thorough knowledge CT the
number Of people in absolute want, the causes
of their distress and all the cruel circumstances
of their desperate poverty. As class these
PRIESTS are laborious, sell-dcnying, dcvOut
men. ordinarily only little raised iii respect to
material comforts above the people to whom
they minister, and therefore moro likely to be
familiar with their circumstances and to feel
keen sympathy for their affections. Their let
ters are mournful cries from the very midst
of the starving communities.
They are at the same time startling revela-
tons of the real condition of the agricultural
districts in Ireland. When they tell US of the
miserable little holdings Of three or four
acres each upon which families struggle to get
food and pay the landlords exactions, we no
longer wonder that one parish reports three
hundred furnishing people, another four
hundred and another five hundred. These poor
peasants sec famine all the time staring them
in the face. In good year they barely manage
to live, aud when a bad year comes the wolf
is mt the door What we do wonder at is that
tbe statesmen of Great Britain should find
money TO maintain great fleets and armies, to
carry on foreign wars for conquest, and to pay
the extlavagant cost of monaTchical system
that they should be able to organize schemes
for governing India. invading Afghanistan
and blotting out a republic in South Africa

su port the population, then the remedy is
emigration. The classes that need to go are
not those that have the money to seek homes
elsewhere, but those that have nothing and
cannot get away without help Government aid
could wisely be extended to settle these poor
people in some of the thinly populated Brit
ish colonies that are rich in natural resources.
Australia, for example, could give them all
work at good wages and a chance to acquire
farms for themselves. We in the United
States have an interest in this ques-
ton outside of the keen sympathy we
feel for the victims Of the famine.
If no help to emigration is given
by the British Government we shall prob
ably be flooded this Spring and Summer with
poor refugees from want, who have managed
to obtain twenty-five or thirty dollars apiece
to pay for steerage tickets from Cork to
New-YOrk. We have had too much Of this
sort OF immigration already, aud a new wave
of it would be pretty serious infliction. We
could almost better afford to feed the desti-
tute Irish at home than to have them throng-
ing our Eastern cities, taxing our charities,
and overcrowding our market for unskilled
labor. The only class Of emigrants from Ire
land or any other country which we can adj
vantageously receive just now In small farm
