Governor Cleveland, in The course Of the address
which he recently made to the scholars of the Al
bany High School, ad ,ised his hearers to make the
most of their opportunities II the Governor had
made the most OF his opportunities he would have
called an extra session OF the Legislature and thus
have compelled the Tammany Senators to snow
their hand on tho immigration Commissonership'
Accounts Of the unwilling of the g Still Hum"
statue In the Central Park were published stimuli
taneously yesterday with Mr. Watterson's glowing
description of Mr.. Tildens rosy cheeks and general
frskiness. Was this merely coincidence, or was
it an omenf
Ills rumored that Senator Jacobs chairman OF one
of the two committees of tha Legislature that pre-
pared the Supply bill, one-half Of which Governor
Cleveland vetoed, will decline denomination for
tho Senate. Can 1t be that the awful fate OF the
bill mas convinced hum that applied craftsmanship

The Hoalds cable dispatches from Rome indicate
that Mr.. Errington or some one else has betrayed
the confidence of tho Vatican in publishing the
anti Psrnell manifesto prematurely. What the
Pope intended as o moral lecture was thus
converted into a political demonstration. Mr.
Errington went to Rome with O general letter OF
recommendation from Lord Granville as man
upon whose honor and intelligence tho Foreign
Office placed entire reliance. He communicated 10
the Pope certain information which he had obtained
from the Ministry, and Inasmuch as the Vatican on
several occasions has exerted its influence In Ireland
most powerfully in behalf of the English Govern
ment il is safe to assume that he has had diplo-
matte mission, however irregular il may have been
in FORM Indeed Mr. Gladstone, who has always
referred to the matter with extreme reluctance, is
forced to admit that record OF Mr.. Erring-
tours proceedings will have to be kept at the Foreign
Office and that his position at Rome will be altered
in future The re-establishment of formal diplo-
matte relations with England would be remark
able triumph for the Vatican. and If the Pope IL
restraining the violence of Irish agitators and inter-
dieting clerical action in behalf of the Nationalist
has had any political motive. it must be this. 1t
would be. however, an event fraught with disaster
to the English Liberals. Secret diplomacy with the
Vatican is bad enough in the estimation OF Nom
conformists aud old-fashioned churchmen to have
the Pope hired as special constable to tbs Queen in
Ireland is still worse; but to send an accredited
envoy to represent Protestant England at the Papai
Court as was the custom before the Reformation,
would be worst of all. Yet IL the English Govern
ment really has important business to transact with
the Vatican it would seem moro reputable TO en-
trust it openly TO responsible agents than to employ
go-betweeDs aud have so much secrecy and mystery
A Boston author has sued his publishers because
his book did not SELL Hero is a hint for the man
who Is to DO 80 unfortunate as TO receive Democ-
racys nomination for the Presidency next year.
When lie finds that he is defeated he can sue the
Democratic National Convention.
Caesar had bis Brntus and the Democratic party
has the tariff issue Or rather, the tariff issue has
the Democratic party.
The outcry against pauper Irish immigration
proves to have been groundless IN this CITY as 1t
was in Boston and Philadelphia. In all places 1t had
the same orgn-adesire 20 curry favor with the pro-
fossonal dynamite agtators in this country. Those
patriots are bitterly opposed to any movement
which is aimed to remove an Irish grievance. They
are opposed to sending money Ia Ireland to help
sustain their impoverished countrymen, and they
are opposed TO having those countrymen sent here.
Their reason in both cases is the same, that any
thing which ameliorates Irish distress will tend to
diminish the provocaton for waging war upon Eng
land with dynamite and landlord shooting IL
few thousands of Irish peasants sarve IN the mean
time what Of itf That is the professional agita-
tors view OF the situation, and to secure the good
will and political support of this generous AMI sym
pathetic person Democrats Of theButer order are
raving about pauper immigration"
To anxious inquirer: No, there will be no extra
session OF tho Democratic Legislature this summer.
We may ada there will be no session. extra or Of
any other sort, of a Democratic Legislature next
winter.
Mr. Watterson reports that in his late interview
with Mr. Tilden the conversation ranged " from
Thomas Kempis to Thomas A. Hendricks"
Whether or no the availability of Thomas a Kempis
as the Democratic candidate tor the Presidency in
1884 was discussed is not stated But this one
thing must be conceded-he is not more decidedly
deceased than some OF the gentlemen who are
mentioned for that position.
