Theodore Roosevelt and Leroy d. Crane. Most OF
these served in the last Legislature, ana their
party and the city should show appreciation Oh
their services by re-electing them. Their eA-
perience last winter of course, makes tnelu
more valuable now They have proved themselves
to be patient, upright and Jealous representatives
and there is even greater reason for eleetng
them now than there was when they were hrst
chosen. Republicans owe these candidates hearty
support and they undoubtedly will get it.
Frederick S. Gibbs, the Republican candidate for
Senator In the With District, has only to receive
the full party vote to be elected Two years ago,
when the Republicans were divided, q Democrat
was chosen by plurality Of but 739. In the pre-
vious Senate the district was represented by Re-
publican These facts may well encourage Mr..
Gbbss friends to put forth strenuous exertions.
The district can be recovered by hard work.
The McAdam Political Science Club In this city
proposes to debate tonight the question Resolved
that greater benefits have resulted from the policies
of Jefferson than from those of Hamilton. We
don't know exactly how many policies these emil
nent statesmen possessed, but we do know that
the Democratic statesmen of to-day, in New-Iork
City at least, are content with One-the policy o1
public plumber.
The Chief Signal Officer has been unjustly censured
for the false reports concerning Lieutenant Gar
lingtOn's supplementary orders, to which currency
was given when the news of the Proteus disaster
reached Washington He was in Washington Ter
rory at the time and did not authorize the state
mcnt that tho commander of the relief party had
disobeyod positive orders In negecting to land sup
plies at LittetOn Island on the way north. On the
contrary he lost time upon his return in vindica-
ing Lieutenant GarlngtOn's reputation in this re-
spect The charge that he took mean advantage OF
his subordinate in prcjudicing public opinion
against him is groundless. General Hazen is man
of very positive character, who fights hard in the
field or in controversy, and consequently makes
enemies as well as friends. His foes are always
quick to seize upon anything to his disadvantage,
bnt in this instance they are firing their pistols in
the air.
Mr.. Tim Campbell is among the Democratic NOM
nees for the State Senate II il unnecessary to re-
mark that ever since he embarked upon his career
as a statesman Tim has been distinguished for his
close and constant conformity to the Jeilersonian
standard"

not included Jesse James among his abductOrs, he

Ross has just returned from st. Louis, where he was
laboring on another olew, which, in his Judgment
had something behind it, but was defeated, he says
by the incautiousness of the reporters. This pro-
longcd search for the lost boy grows more pitltul
every year.
The president Of the Adams Express Company
seems to have pointed way OF answer
ing questions When asked yesterday in the
jersey Central suit if he swOre " like gentle
teman to whatever papers his lawyer prepared,
he replied promptly: Yes | would not keep dog
and bark myself" His legal qucstioner got none
the best of that exchange.
We trust the Republicans of the XXIst IN. ~
District will make sure that Frederick Lansing Is
returned to the Senate, by giving him the Jealous
and united support TO which he is well entitled.
Mr.. Lansing was regarded as one of the most trust
worthy and efficient members of the last Senate.
He not only looked out carefully for the interests
Of Oswego and Jefferson but his vote and influence
were on the right side of all the measures of gem
cral concern notably the having for its object
the preservation of the Adirondacks With the ex-
peronce gained during the term just closed his ser
vices in the next Senate could not fail to be of
increased value to his district aud the State at
large.
The Marquis of LOns's successor has received a
cordial welcome in the Dominion and entered upon
his official career under the most favorable Circum
stances. He is an accomplished man and has
genial nature and social graccS, which will cndcar
him to the Queens subjects. The only obstacle in
the way of his becoming popular GOvcrnOr-Gen-
cral is the race prejudice of tho Irisli-Canadans
who form a large proportion Of the population 1t
ought not To be impossible for him to overcome this
feeling and his qualifications for the Office To which
he has been appointed will eventually obtain gen
era recognition.
General Pryor admitted on the eve of sailing for
England that he could not expect, "a a matter of
right, to be allowed to defend 0'DOnnel in an
English court. Now that he is in London, and has
consulted with his client he states that he does not
hope to take public part in the trial, but will
merely look and aid the other counsel by consulta-
tiOn and suggestion. He would be apt TO do more
harm than good to his clients if he were al
lowed to participate in the court proceedings The
jury would probably resent any argument or plead
ing from an American lawyer an insinuatlOn that
Engshmen were incapable of according justice to
a prisoner charged with murder. Even General
Pryor Is forced to admit that O'Donnol will have
fair trial, aud that there is prejudice against him.
The English counsel may safely be depended upon
to their clients acquittal If that result be
possible
The highly important announcement is made that
Prince Jerome Napoleon is about to issue another
political manifesto. If Plon-PlOn had less time on
his hands and more cOmnOn-scnse in his head he
would scarcely be found engaging in this unique
sort of roolishncss. The Pope's bull against the
comet is not supposed to have exercised any marked
disturbing influence upon the heavenly bodies. But
it possessed the terrible potency of dynamite in
comparison with one of these NnpOloonic maniicS-
toes. The Prince is consumed by an ambition rs
