to compare cattle shows to dog fights
Hendricks speaks Of General Butler as dashing
fellow. Yes, he is just that. This fall he will ap-
pear in the great act of dashing himself to pieces
like potters vessel against the granite of Massa
chusetts Republicanism.
One of the wide.awake readers of THE TRIBUNE
finds in the foreign dispatches Of yesterdays issue
striking commentary on the text of the editorial
on Economic Tests in England" In view Of the
fact that Sir William Wheelhouse, in an address
before the British Association for the Advancement
of Science. has ascrbed the commercial depression
of England to the operation of free trade and has
advocated return to protective tarff, our cor
respondent uggests that Mr. David A. Wells ought
not to neglect an opportunity for convincing his
allies across the ocean that Mr.. Golden made no
mistakes and they in reality prosperng under
the present economic system. That would be
difficult thing even for Mr.. Wells with his per-
suasive manner to accomplish. Englishmen know
that the times with them out OF joint But they
are slow to admit that free trade is the source of
their msfortunes. They stoutly affirm that they
would be the most prosperous and contented nation
on the earth II other countries would not be so I'M
reasonable as to look out sharply for their own
interests and adhere tenaciously to the policy of
protection.
We call the attention of the Democratic State
Committee to the fact that among the delegates
elected to the Buffalo Convention on Thursday
evening" by the Tammany organization of this city,
was gentleman who answers to the name Of John
Kelly.
The Rev. DR.. DrowneI IN opening on Thursday the
Cathedral school of St. Paul in the new building
erected by the Stewart Estate at Garden City pre-
dcted that within those walls would be gathered
the rich and inspiring associations of a Rugby and
an Eton, of a Winchester and Harrow. Certainly
no school ever had better chance to become great
than this, for it has a most commodious building
ard Mrs Stewart has agreed to meet all deficiencies
OF income for several years until 1t Is fairly estab
lished aself-supportng basis. But fine build
Ing alone VIII not make q ScnOOl SUCCESSFUL.
What is needed moro than all else Is the right man
at the head of the school, DR.. Arnold and DR.. TAFT
did moro for Rugby than any architect could have
DONE Tiled floors carved wood work and all the
modern conveniences will not compensate for the
absence of the true educator with his characteristic
genius for governing boys aud getting good work
out of them The real utility of Mrs. Stewards
benofacton will depend largely upon the character
aud qualifications Of the head master and the corps
OF Instructors whom he may gather around him.
The building is a costly and cannot be econom-
cally maintained very large school must be u-
timately built up from the present foundation;
otherwise this novel educational experiment which
the Acting Warden mentions in the Same breath
with the great English schools, wall be doomed TO
failure.
A new air called "Tammany Halls Grand
March," composed expressly for the occasion by Mr..
J. j. Freeman. will be played as Kelly enters the
Buffalo Convention. That's the present programme.
OF course if the Committee on Contested Seats eI-
clude Mr. Kelly the air will be subduod into dirge
aud named "Tammany Hairs Grand Bounce"
There is a light variation in the shooting mania
A Young man in ST. Louis fired shot at an actress
In "A variety theatre because she would not accept
present from bim and then blow hlsovn brains out.
This was an excellent combination of success and
failure IL all the shooting young mon would fail
whom they shoot at other people and succeed when
they shoot at themselves, tho shooting business
would Ia time discourage Itself.
