II seems that the Comtesse de Chambord has no
intention of trying her hand at altering the map of
Europe At least not for the present. She has ex-
planned that her decision regarding the position OF
chief mourner at the funeral Of tho ComJe de Cham
bord implied no refusal on her parto recognize the
indsputable rights of the Orleans Princes OF course
after this explanation the Orleans Princes will feel
better No insult has been offered to their indis
putabe rights" the cash or other value Of which is
not quoted, although it is believed at the great
monetary centres that they are fully as precious as
the ndsputable rights of the heirs OF Anneke Jams
Could the Comtessc have ever heard the Western
story In regard to the position Of chief mourner

Mr.. Robert b. Roosevelt calls upon tho Demo
cratic State Convention to suppress Tammany. The
Albany Times, whose Democracy is as undoubted as
that of Roosevelt retorts by remarking, 1.-The
Governor has tho power to suppress nuisances; let
him suppress Roosevelt" r. s. All is unity and
harmony in the Democratic party of this State.
Tho Rev. j. W. White of Pennsylvania, who was
deposed r heresy the otler day by the Presbyte-
rian Church was according to all accounts, al
of exemplary life and faithful in performing the
duties of his office. But he could not believe GER
tain abstract dogmas which the Church regard, as
essential to salvation. lie did not believe for in
stance in the personality of the Holy Spirit. or that
the material body will be raised again at the resur-
roction. The Church demands such belief. AZ
between Mr.. White and the Church, therefore,
there Is no question but that the Church was
technically right in deposng him from its ministry
Bat behind that there ia a greater question. Is
the Church right in imposing such speculative
dogmas on the consclenCes of mon, some OF which

ouestions affecting mems present conduct and their
future salvatiOnY The voice of the thinking people
who are asking this question seems to be growing
louder.

Harry HILL the stakeholder, decides that Mitchell
and Slade must fight within 100 miles of New
Orleans. The public has yet to learn what any
point within 100 miles of New Orleans has done to
deserve to be singled out for such infection The
yellow fever omitted to visit that section this year.

"No other mar can become tho historical avenger
of the greatest crime recorded in the annals of the
country" In such terms The Troy Press invites Mr.
TIlden to accept the Presidential nomination in
1884 The Press would seem to lack restraint The
TRIBUNE that laid bare the cipher dispatches mas
