10 Include the boat-hous According to some
renorts the structure has been In rickety con-
dition for some time. We hope that is not the
case but in all events the college authorities
must see to it hereafter that the possibility OF
similar accident Is done away. A gooo many
Young men are likely to be more or less lhJureu
every year by their undue interest in boating
matters; but the injury ought not be lnfhcted
In this way again.
We are heartily glad that the Dstrict-Attor-
new is not satisfied with the verdict OF the Cor
oner's Jury in the Irving Walsh inquest which
declared that Porter had no hand in the shooV-
Ing The case calls for thorough investgatloh'
and Mr.. McKeon should not drop 1t until inc
whole affair, including that remarkable lnqueS.,
has been well sifted. Far be it from us 10 assam
the motives of that eminent Democratlc "aIu-
politician, Coroner Martin. His motives may
have been of the purest and noblest Dut the way
the bullets and the pistols got mixed up as the
investigation advanced certainly vindlcates MS
right 70 be known as judicial Battercup More
over &c Coroner Martins intention had been to
let one Of the most dangerous men III thls colll-
munity 90 scot free when he had every reason
TO believe that the ruffan was guilty OF murder
he could not have adopted course more GER
tain to accomplish his end.
The large attendance Of bishops and priests at
the conservation of Assistant Bishop Henry Z.
Potter. at Grace Church, yesterday, was only IN
mart due to the fact that the General Con-
vention of the Episcopal Church Is now IN SEES
sion In the neighbOring city of Philadelphia.
The event at any time would have been certain
TO call together notable lot of clergymen
anxious to show not only their appreciation OF the
importance of the elevation of one of their num-
her to the anxious charge of this large diocese,
but also their high respect for DR.. Potterperson-
ally. The conservation of this particular clergy
man at this time is indeed a significant event to
EpiscOpalians. 1t means, finally at least an au
ADMINISTRATION of the affairs of tins diocese Daseu
on the conservative principles OF what Is known
among old fashioned churchmen as Dr. Hobart
churchmanship and also hearty cooperation
with the other Episcopal bishops OF TINS state
Extremists of any kind will see little encourage
ment in it for them. Under such circumstances
therefore, it was only natural that the service
Yesterday in Grace Church should be notable
one. 1t was brilliant and digniiied without
being In any unpleasant sense religious
spectacle.
Every Republican should earnestly heed the
appeal of the State Committee, printed else
where In to-day's TRIBUNE. The contest this
wear will be close But if Republicans register
and vote there should be no doubt of the sue
cess of our excellent State ticket. The causes
for Republican discomfort have been removed
Reform, economy and rctrenchment have
marked the progress of the party. 1t passed
the Civil Service law, which is now
faithfully enforced in all departments OF
the Federal Government. Its members
IN the Legislature forced the Democrats
to pass similar law. But they deferred Its
operation until the fourth of next January i'll
order that the places of all Republicans III
State Offices might first be filed by Democrats,
providing they carry the State. The disgrace
full conduct of that party in the Legislature, Its
increase of taxation, and its surrender to Tam
many Hall, have shown the danger that threat
ems us if it again carries the State. Republican
apathy can alone bring about that result. Are
the Republicans of this State willing to see the
control of its government go into the hands OF
Tammany Hall7 The corruption and dishonesty
cropping out in every department of the City
Government show what will be the effect OF
the success in the city and State OF the allied
Democrats.
