AN UNcALLEp-PoR APOLOGY.

Rev. NJ. de Hart, of Walden, n. y,
publishes an apology to the world for hav.
ing knocked dows, in the most approved
style known to the art of assault and
self-detense," man who in his presence
struck his wife, the two being engaged in
a dispute when the clergyman interiered,
and on protesting against violence received
blow from the husband, The apology de-
tracts very much from the merit of the
performance OF the priest. His was an act
most commendable, as also the maxim with
which the blow was accompanied You
must not strike woman in my presence.
If it is blessed to be a peace-maker, what
matters it as to the methods employed
when they go no further than to admins
ter deserved drubbDg? Mr.. Hart says
ne forgot, for the moment, his clerical
position, and acted as a man. Here is a
distinction, fine, and Mr.. Harris own.
Would he have US infer that the clergy
man's station is disgraced by manly acts
Does the ministry at the Christian religion
demand of its members that they shall
stand idly by and see a great wrong com
misted Would this gentleman, whose
action inspires our respect, have the world
understand that the cloth Of his profession
requires the suppression Of chivalrous i'm
pulses Mr.. Harris act was gallant, manly
and OF the right stripe of Christianity, but
his apology was uncalled for, does no credit
to his manliness, and now he should apollo.
gize for the apology.

all the people. They are not amenable to
the behests of political committees. They
are amenable to parties go far only as they
claim to be the opponents of the princi-
pies of those parties. This is truism
that moves shoulder to shoulder with the
others cited in this consideration, and it
should be pondered by committees of
party until its full force is felt.
The machinery of impeachment is es-
tabliahed by the law, and the law is the
highest form of the recorded will of the
people. No political committee can, there
| fore, assume to direct or dictate the duty
of an official to-day under the law without
setting itself up as superior to the law,
and with the purpose of wholly ignoring
the people, who had no voice in the crea-
ton of such committee. Such acts are,
therefore, not only impertinent and
offensive, but they are assaults upon
republican form of government, and de-
serve severest condemnation and unlimited
reproach.
Recently a State Central Committee at
tempted to perform the functions of
court of impeachment of the Commission.
ers of Transportation in this State. This
was an attempt to substitute the political
lash for constitutional government. It
deserved, and earned and received public
condemnation. More recently still, steps
in the line of usurption were taken by
City Central Committee which no less de.
served and no less certainly received con-
demnation.
If the Central Committee of a political
party possesses the prerogatives of i'm
parchment of a public officer, then govern
ment by constitutional methods is at an
end, and the Courts of impeachment es.
tablished by law are superseded and set
aside. In the local case referred to, the
attempt to control the action of City
Board by direct and open communication
that is believed, with perfect justification
for the belief, to have been in the interest
of candidate who could not have re.
ceived Endorsement at the hands of the
people or the party, was gross and indie
feasible usurpation of power, a venal and
dangerous interference with the action of
public officers, and, to put it fatty, the
most contemplate form of political coer-
cion that has ever before been attempted |
in the political history of the community. !
The Republican party cannot afford to be
frequently the arena for such demonstra-
tions. 1t should succeed. 1t deserves to
succeed. This is essentially Republican
city, and should not be given over to the
Democracy by tha mistaken idea of power
by the Central Committee.
We desire the success of the party, but it
must be attained by legitimate uses of the
party machinery. The party is the party
of intelligence and decency and progress
and right, and for these reasons its indie
pendent voters cannot tolerate usurpation
Of authority. Let there be no more records
of them made, but let every energy be d.
rected toward the upholding of the party
and the constant strengthening of its de-
lenses.

ANAMIrR REBELLION.

The news is Of revolution having been
successful in Anam. 1t is said that the
new King has been killed, Government
set up for the one displaced, and that it is
hostile TO France. 1t is probable that the
revolution, assuming first reports to be
true, had its origin with the Red river
bandits. They could be no more hostile
to France now than they always have
been, but they may be more ready than
the late Government, and probably are, to
seek the aid OF China and drive her to a
declaration Of war. Unless they do, and
secure recognition, the task of France will
be lightened by the rumored revolution. If
China is insincere in her desire for peace,
the opportunity now presents for her to
enter the lists as belligerent, utterly ig-
more the treaty OF August, make her slen-
der claim to suzerainty good, and raise it
TO positive pro.ectorate.
