John Brown died She pronounced upon him
glowing euloey as "an honest, faithful and
devoted follower" Who had filled a position
If orsot and anxious responsibility, the duties
OF which he performed with such constant ana
unceasing care rs to secure Tor himself the
real friendship Of tho English sovereign.
This was a more generous cnc0mium than her
fayorite statesman, Lord Bcaconsicld, had re-
ceived in his day, and it secured for the giliie,
footman and holy-guarl Of the Royal House

one OF tlem exceeding two columns IN length.
The Court put on mourning for brief space
and John Browns burial was made no a,4alr
Of state. Not satisfied with these and other
demonstrations of respect and affection, tie
Queen has ordered from Mr.. Bochm lie
sized statue of her faithful lackey, and this Is
soon TO be unveiled on the lawn at ,Balmorai iii
full view from the windows OF the castle. She
has also announced her intention Of erecting
marble tablets to his memory IN ST. Georges
Chanel and the Royal Mausolcum.
Apparently The Queens subjects are disposed
to deprecate her indefatigable zeal in COM
memorating the virtues of this family servant.
Our special cable dispatches lave already
hiatcd at the surprise and irritation cau<ca in
all paris Of the United Kingdom by these ex-
haordlparv manifestations OF Royal regard.
This is mt to be wondered at; for although
Eprlishmcn were too sensible and too loyal to
pav heed TO inane tattlo about this bury
ecotchman, they were annoyed during his life
time by the constant association Of his name
with the Royal Household. They were weary
of hearing anecdotes about his arrogance and
ofHciousncss and of seeing ms name in the
Court circulars and the society Journals They
blcathed more freely when his deceaso was
announced, thinking chat they had heard the
last of John Brown. They little knew to what
lengths the Queens commemorative mania
would carry her. Here are marble tablets In
tho celebrated chapel consecrated 60 Royalty,
and in the vaults where lie the ashes of Eng
lands Kings; md yonder in the Highlands,
almost face to face with the Prince C0nsoIt is TO
stand the life-sized statue OF his stout-hcarted
and big-Gstod gillie If john Brown while he
lived became in one way or another a standing

friend Of the family.

The trouble with the Presidents Message
and the Department and Bureau Reports is that
thew are too long. The Presidents required
by the Constitution to give to the Congress
information Of The state OF the Union" from
lime TO Gme' and recommend TO their con-
alteration such measures as he shall judge
necessary and expedient" lie isnot obliged,
except by the force Of bad habit, to present an
annual summary of the operations of the vari-
Gus executive Offices or TO comment upon the
reports of bis subordinates. The routine por-
tons of the Message often constitute more than
half the bulk OF thar por.cntous document and
practically they are quite useless. All the
facis contained in them are given also in tie
reports Of The heads Of Depgrmentsj AMI I'll
the Information submitted by The heads Of
Departmcnts is cgbOdied, once OF Oftener in
the reports of the various Bureaus. Under
these circumstances it is not surprising that
the minor fnctionarcs should regret the
order which keeps back their reports until the
snbstaace ol them, embodied in the report Of
SON ebody else, has been used for al that it is
worth.
lRe9etiton, however, is not the only fault of
The Message and Documrnts.' III most cases
they are verbose t. the last degree. They
overtax the patience Of the most plodding
reader, and are treated with scant courtesy by
tho Congress for whose instruction they are
ostenslbly written. The boundless prolixity of
speech. which Is one Of the faults Of our polit-
zeal eloquence and orr political literature, Is
all the mere noticeable because impaticnce OF
anything too long is a marked characteristic OF
the popular temperament. Americans hate
long sermons, long lectures, ing speeches,
long books long letters, long newspaper artl-
cles. They like to have their political infOr-
nation in the form OF what an irregerent
journalist has called chopped feed" Many
Of them feel bound TO read the Message. and
smaller number read the Treasury Report !;
but how grateful they all would be to Presi-

80 NEWSNEN NIlrNNERsrOOD.


No one can prevent Tie Herald or any other daily
newspaper from selling ITS own editions to the pub
lie at its own prices, or from establishing general
system OF delivery throughout the city. Every
one has n right to rent stores, to sell his own
goods therein, and to send cut wagons and mes
sengers TO deliver his goods to customers. No
one denies this right and 10 one wishes
topreycnt any New-Yor1 paper from exercising It,
There is no improper combination OF nowsnen in
Ncw4Yo.k to resist the saio ana delivery Of any
city paper at Office prices. Tle newsnen are mis-
understood if they have gwen an Impression that
this IS Their object, in moving for reconsideration
of last weeks vote in thc Board Of Aldermen.
What they protest against is something d ieront.
They ael, only that no exceptional privileges be
given. They ask only that the City Government
shall not lend IT'S powerful aud TO single powerful
capitalist to crush worthy class Of citizens who
are serving the public faithfully, and against whose
postion in regard to the conduct oil their business,
there is absolutely 10 popular protest
whatever. Surely thoY do not ask too
much. b. thoir vote last woek,the Aldermen seem
to have taken sides against honest labor and in
favor of large capital We think it's position
they will not care to occupy long
So far from any one opposing TIE Herald In its
work. we believe that the ncwsmen would them
selves like to see the experiment tried. II any one
can do their work moIo eheaply and satisfactorily
than they can, they are willing to step down and
out They think it cannot be done, and are Wiling
to sec any one hy. They are certainly assisting
Tie Herald to gather mp and carry on
lie own retail business, by cutting down
their orders for tho paper heavily, and
thus leaving the field as clear as they can for Tie
Hna7dso own enterprise But they do not feel that
exceptional privileges should be granted TO those
who are trying take the worl, Of distribution out
Of their hands, especially as the latter are trying to
build up general business in the sale OF newspapers
Theexlsting newsasiands in the streets constitute
certain obstruction OF the public convenience.
There is no protence that q complete duplication
of these stands is called for by HE public Its only
purpose ~ to promote private cnterpnse-tnat OF
forcing sac3 at q lower retail rate THIS enterprise
il perfectly legitimate. bu. there Is no reason why
The already ovcrcrowdel streets should De ODE
strncted with 10. The city sunder 40 obligations
TO furnish sites for these Now retail shops rent-
free. and at the cost OF doubling tho already too
numerous street distractions. II Ihc Herald wants
TO 90 into thc retail business, It shonid hire its
retail shops, as most of the nowsmen 1t is fighting
do. That IS nh there Is ~ the matter

seven in Ohio the grand OLD party is in
doubt shouted Democratic organs yesterday.
II is true that there was far more uncertainty
at the close than usually exists in OHIO when
the State has been thoroughly clnvassed. AT
this hour, with the returns coming in, it IS well
to call attention toJhe true causes OF that un-
certainty.
There was 10 reason whatever to doubt
that, On the distinctive issues which bad hith-
erto divided the great parties, Ohio would give
a Republican m iority. There is no evidence
whatever that the people Of that State have
become less attached tran before to the prln-
cjples which gave victory TO the Republicans
prior to the war, or during the war, or during
the period of reconstruction, or during the
settlement Of financial questions. Nor was
There any doubt that, on tie tariff question,
the peoplc OF ONO would heartily sustain the
marty whose policy for twenty-five years has
done so much for the development of TIE
RESOURCES and industries Of that State. No
sensible man doubted that, on National
questions, Che voters oi Ohio would sustain the
nrineiples represented by President Garfield
and the party led by him whenever that party
should present worthy candidates and manifest
fidelity to its principles The public deiesta-
tion of Democratic behavior has IN no respect
abated. The public confidence in the honest
purpose and proved ability of the party which

II appears from n conversation reported IN ycster-
days TRIBUNE that Mr.. Wales has located himself
on the right side of tho menagorie question: and h5
prudence is to be commended When he COM
plains, however, that the newspapers have
misrepresented him on this question he should
remind himself that the papers and people generally
have no knowledge Of his private opinions Ihey
judge HIM by his public utterances and acts. II
the reports Of one Of the few open sessions OF the
Board the public was informed that COM
mittee Of two, consisting Of Mesfs |iele
ana Wales had advised tho removal Of the
bears to the district which General Vele considers
"uaimproved ground" This would seem to iden-
tifv Mr.. Wales with the lob. The Board unani-
mousy adopted the report, says The Record and this
seems TO fasten the job upon all Of them. THE
Tribune will be happy to correct this statement II
it is erroneous
In second paragraph Mr. Wales complains OF
unjust treatment III other matters, but nc lais to
make any specifications. Perhaps he alludes to the
soda-Wator Vista, which the highest authority mas
pronounced q barbarism, and which must be con-
demned by every one with any feeling for landscape
art in this controversy Mr. Wales according TO
his own statement published mthoso columns at the
time upheld Mr.. Jones and has axe. IL Mr.
Wales has met with change on this subject he

A dispatch from Rochester, which we publish
this morning, gives sone bottom facts concern
ing the recent machine Democratic Conyen-
zion. MIR. Purcell protested at Buifalo that nc
was no opponent Of the Governors, aud the
Governor protested that lie was no opponent
of Mr.. Purcelfs. Aud yet it is clear enough
now. from the story told in the dispatch re-
ferrel TO, that Purcell WAS unfriendiy to
Cleveland at Syracuse in 1882, aud that Cleve-
land ieyenged himself at Buffalo this year by
defeating the nomination of Purcell as Secre-
tary of State. Altogether it is very pretty row
and is highly suggestive of the sincere harmony
with which all Democrats are supporting their
State ticket this year.
