THE REVELATIONS or ERSKiNE N. PHELPS.
Muck light has been thrown on the political
situation by Erskine NJ. Phelps, of Chicago,
who has been sOiOurning for some time at Sar-
atoga in close and constant contact with the
" Democratic chieftains who are there in sti ong
force from all parts of the country" II was
not generally known until yesterday that Frs
kline had been in Saratoga at all. Perhaps it is
not too much to say that great many people
in this country did not know until yesterday
that there was any such person as Eiskine NJ.
Phelps. He knew it, however, all the time /;
knew, toe, that he had been in Saratoga in close
and constant contact, etc.; and knew better than
any one else that if he ever should say anything
about the political situation, and it should
become public, it would be counted as of the
largest possible consequence. And before we
go any further 1t liz proper to say-that the
reader may not burst with uDsatisfed curiosity
that Ersknc NJ. Phelps is president of tho
IroouOis Club of Chicago, Democratic organ
ization which creates sensation at least once

Mr.. Carter Harrison, who late in the evening
interrupted the harmonious hilarity by drop
ping large chunks of frozen truth down the
backs of the members of the club and invited
guests.
However, that aside, Erskine is President of
the club. and, we judge from the manner in
which he carried himself during the interview
referred 10, an exceedingly important person.
Having been, as has been said, in Saratoga for
some days, without permitting the American
public TO be aware OF the fact, he was just on
the pont of quiet and modest departure when

Judge Hoadly seems easily satisfied. Being asked
by a newspaper correspondent what he had to say
now that Governor Foster had furnished him the
name OF tho man who Informed him that he
llIoadlyl had said that his nomination cost him q
large sun of money. the Judge answered: I" have
nothing TO add to my correspondence with Mr.. Eos
ter. My object is sufficiently accomplished by the
disclosure OF the name Of his informant" And he
would say no moro. "Wher this ere Bill Lormcr
said was caught robbing Dr. Green's hen roOst."

Those two gentlemen whom the Democrats of
Pennsylvania insisted upon sacri-that is upon
nominating on Wednesday, will have the sympathy
OF the entire country.
1.-THE tax laws of the State should be revised and
so changed as to make them moro equal and more
Just and bear equally upon all classes of property"
That IS the way the Democrats of Pennsylvania
talk IN the platform that they have just adopted.
Ii may be good doctrine for them, but they must
not expect the Democrats of New-Yorl1 to indorse
anything the kind The Democrats of New
York judging from the course pursued by their
representatives who controlled both branches of
the last Lei isature, have taste for unjust taxa
ton, arc IN favor of tax system that bears un-
equaly-that places The biggest share of the public
burdens on the farmers Let the Pennsylvania
Democrats be more careful next time. 1t is unKind
of them to put plank in their platform that hurts

TO meet in Saratoga August 3d. has distressing
duty to perform. 1t will he expected to call tho

EDTCATING TIE NEGRO.


The admirable address on the Education of
the NegIo delivered at Montvagle. Tenn, yes
terday by President lIaygood, of Emory Col
lege Georgia and printed on another page, is Of
special significance as coming from man who
was born and bTed in the South and who has
always lived there. The position which Dr.
Hlygood takes is this Whether wisely or fool
ishly, right or wrong, the negro has been made
n citizen, and he must next be made good cit
izen. A clearer and more comprehensive state
merit of the right of tho negro to an education
and the moral and political duty of the white
man In that regard has not been made, North
or South since the adoption of the constitu-
tional amendments.
We invite special attention to the manly and
courageous paragraphs in which DR.. Haygood
expresses his appreciation of tho educational
work accomplished by Northern money and
Northern men and women In the South, and his
contempt for the Southern sentiment which
regards negroes as good enough to sell to and
buy FROM to practise law or medicine for, but
not good enough ito teach. The obligation of
Southern churches to the work of educating
the negro is pointed out In words which come
with special weight from man who declined
a Methodist Episcopal bishopric year ago
and the knowledge and spirit which inform the
whole address are so sound and true that there
is good reason to rejoice that DR.. Haygood ia
the general agent of the John +. Slater Fund.

The public debt was reduced $4,000, 900
during the last month. The Republican party
must 60.
The Minnesota Democrats did not
waste much time yesterday in making
nominations for State Offices The GER
tainty of defeat made 1t unnecessary
to stradde any fences, so the convention de-
clared against prohibition of the liquor traffic,
in favor of the River and Harbor apprOpria-
tons, and for a tariff for revenue only. In
other words, it adopted genuine Democratic
platform, as there was nothing to be gained
by attempting to falsify the party record.
Virginia wants practical effect to be given
at once to Mr.. Wharton Barker's theory about
the division of the Treasury surplus 1t has
nut in a claim for 1892, 300 as due
under the act of 1888, which directed
tie surplus then in the Federal Treas
ury to be deposited with the States ac-
cording to representation. If Virginia
should succeed, then New York would have a
valid claim for its remaining share. If it
could only be made available to decrease the
excessive rate of taxation which the Demo
srats have imposed on the State this year,
they would undoubtedly feel under great obi
CATIONS to the Virginia Democrats who dis
covered the "claim."
The election of Mr.. Austin f. Pike, United
States Senator from NewH Hampshire, is a
happy termination of the long contest over
the vacancy caused by the expiration Of Mr..
Rolins's official term. The new Senator is a
man of ability and experience as a legislator
and his election will prove satisfactory to all
Republicans. 1t is an indication of continued
Republican supremacy in that State, and must
be sad disappointment to the Democrats
who have fondly cherished the belief that the

The report of the Treasury Cattle Com
mission furnishes gratifying proof oil the entire
absence of the foot-and-mouth disease among
the herds in this country. The injustice of
the recent statements made In the British
Parliament to tue effect that cattle infected
with the disease were being shipped from
American p0rts is shown from the fact that
no authenticated cases of the disease have
ever been known here, except such as were
raceable to the importation of English cattle.
The disease was first brought to Canada from
England in 1871, and then found its way
across the border. Owing to the vigorous
measures taken by the American authorities.
Il was soon stamped out. Since then other
tmportations of the disease have occurred.
hat the infection did not extend TO American

herds. Cattle, however. shipped to England
in the same vessels that brought the infection
here were attacked with the disease, and this
gave rise TO the statements made in the
English Parliament about American cattle.
For England to forbid the Importation Oh
American cattle on such grounds would DO
both foolish and unjust.
There are many indications that Mayor
Edison will make wise choice in the appoint
ment of a new city Controller. lie has oiiereu
the place to at least two citizens, either one
of whom would have ably filed the ONCE.
Although both of those gentlemen have declined
the honor, the other names mentioned are
almost without exception those OF equally
capable men. The absence of the old familiar
names brought forward heretofore when an
important piece of CITY patronage was to be as
posed of, is gratifying change. The reported
refusal of the Mayor to follow the advice or
recognize the "demands" of interested pOlltl-
cal leaders. is another indication that he does
not mean to repeat the mistake he made when
no appointed such Democrats as BILLY "
Mitchell and "Nick" Haughton to important
municipal offices. He is also fortunate In not
having 10 llSJeH 10 Jno Cidiino VI WIZ
Aldermen hence, if he makes an appoint
ment to-day, as now seems probable, he will
no doubt give the city good Controller.
Any other result would be sad disappoint-
ment.
The straits to which the Democratic party is
driven is shown in the delight it manifests over
the loose and silly talk about the use of enor-
nous sums of money by the Republicans in
Indiana in 1880. Some of the Democratic
leaders apparently believed that their whole
party in Indiana was really to be bought
up at So head They started out with
that idea when they nominated English for
Vice President and they followed it up with
like tactics in the circulation of the forged
Chinese letter. The frequent visits of "Seven-
Mule" Barnum to Ohio and Indiana during
that canvass were undoubtedly made with
the same purpose in view. How much money
they expended will probably never be known,
unless new lot of cipher dispatches should
come to light; but they undoubtedly spent all
they could in any way secure. Water cannot
rise above its level any more than Democrats
can explain defeat except by the use of money.
Hence they have never ceased to blame
English for not making larger contributions,
as referred to in Washington dispatch
printed in to-day's TRIBUNE. And for the
same reason they fairly revel in the Munchausen
stories about the use of money by the Republic
cans. Sometime or other it may occur to the
Democratic leaders to give little credit to
the common sense of the voters.
