Mr.. Conkling is again the victim of the {" alb
horrent and forbidden forces which he said
bore him down at Albany. Translated into
plain English his unique phrase means the in
telligence and common sense of the Republican
masses of Newly
One of the defenders of the machine said
yesterday, speaking of Mr.. Conlling: "He has
just as much right to take part in the Conven-
p" ton as anyone else.n just as much right no
doubt, as anyone who is not delegate; or,
an other words, no right at all. Some of his
admirers seem to think the ex-senator has
right divine to sit in all Republican Conven-
tiOns, and boss them, too but the people of his
district and of the entire State have refused to
andorse that notion. Here the matter ought
to end, and here it will end if Mr.. Conkling
has not parted with the remainder of his much
diminished stock of political sagacity
During the year ending September 80 the
Sing Sing State Prison paid it's way and made
profit of $40, ,126 94-not remarkable
achievement considering the fact that it con-
trolls the unpaid labor of an army of able
bodied men, but as such institutions 90. n
very good showing. Whether the prison is a
penitentiary in anything but name, and really
makes its inmates penitent for their crimes. is
quite another matter. The preaching and
moral teaching furnished to convicts at the
States expense do not seem to have much
effect on their conduct after they are released
from the restraint of bolts and bars. At the
same time no efforts to reform the criminal
class should be relaxed because of apnarent
failure. The bread cast on the waters may
be found after many days.
This preposterous summer, which cheated
spring out of her fairest month and has already
usurped more than one-third of autumn,s
allotted days, still gives no sign of departing.
1t is now the 4th of October, yet the tempera
ture last night was that of the dog days. Even
the iong-delayed rains seem powerless to cool
the air. When they fall the earth appears to
be taking Russian bath, SO sultry and steam
ing Is the quality of the atmosphere Better a
warm rain than none, but the showers come too
late TO be of much service to crops and pas
lures, and when they mock us with unfulfll.d
promises of cooler weather they are more pro
voking than welcome.
The public begins to fear that the Brooklvn
Bridge will never be completed while the direc
tors, superntendents and engineers get fat
salaries for prolonging the work. A fact has
just come to light which will not lessen this
apprehension. The contract for steel proves
