THE Episcopal Convention has dono its
duty well, and the new bishop is worthy
in all respects Of the honor and of the con-
fidence confded In him.
Again great diocese has been protected
from strife and schism and factional dis
pute by the selection of q leader whom all
factions love and follow, and whose prin-
ciples are far broader than tho petty issues
Of dissension
In Doctor Paret is found a rare combina-
tion of the highest qualities of mind, heart
and soul. His clear logic, his convincing
argument, his all-pervading faith and devo-
tion are not greater than his capabilities as
manager, an organizer aud man of busi-
ness.
In his appointment bishop is secured
whose efforts will benefit and strengthen
every parish, in whom every rector aud
every parishioner will havo a warm aud
earnest friend under whose direction every
church will be strengthened, every wrong
will be righted.
The great aim to be accomplished was tho
selection of man who, by uniting and
harmonizing tho church from within, could
silence and rebuke the criticism from with
out. Such man was chosen.
1t Is earnestly to be desired that DR..
Paret may see his way clear to retain his
residence here where the results of his good
works abound and the affection for him Is
so universal.

COMFORT can be found in almost any
thing. Judge Smell shows that his court
has reaped far greater revenue during the
rast year than during those preceding it.
This statement would ordinarily be regard
ed as an unpleasant reminder of an in
crease in crime, but the genial Judge says
that 1t should not be so regarded.
I'm bad times" he says, prisoners go to
Jail rather than pay fines, and the revenue
is small. When times are good the pris.
oners pay their fines and the courts reve.
nuc expands" This is at least novel test
Of the city's prosperity.

Democratic Treachery 10 Defeat
Cleveland.


Democratic Treachery 10 Defeat
Cleveland.
The New York Star, Of yesterday, con-
tains o most remarkable double-lcaded
leader" which strips off all concealment
from the Democratic situation in New York
city, and reveals condition of affairs that
shows in striking manner the hopeless
ness Of the Democratic cause. If what the
star charges against the Democrats of
Irving Hall and the County faction is even
one-fourth true-and we have not the least
doubt on the subject-then Cleveland will
be beaten $4,000 in the Empire State, and
Of course will be overwhelmingly defeated
in the general result. The Star opens its
remarkable stSement with the following
emphatic paragraphs:
II the Cleveland and Hendricks Electoral
ticket is 10 be successful In the Empire State
IL will need to come down 10 Harlem Bridge not
very far behind the Blaine and Logan ticket.
We make this statement reluctantly, but IL Is
well that Democrats throughout the State
should know the truth.
The word has been passed throughout tho
County Democracy camp to cut everything
else in the hope OF saving Grace. We are fully
aware that similar charge is preferred
against Tammany; but our assertion can be
prONcu-tne Olner CANNOT. NeNt week Wlon
the lgures will be at everybody's disposal we
shall be willing TO leave the verdict to any un-
biased and earnest member OF the National
Committee-say to Senator German OF Mary
land.
To expect Cleveland to "come down to
Harlem Bridge not very far behind the
Blaine and Logan ticket" is to expect re-
turn of the days of miracles and If Blaine
runs Cleveland anywhere near an even
race in New York city and Kings County,
then, indeed, is tho Democratic cause more
hopeless than the most sanguine Republican
has ever considered it, for the Republicans
would have been willing from tho start to
have compromised on 10000 majority in
New York and Kings County for Cleve-
land.
From tho start some mysterious and
malign influence has been at work to pre-
vent Cleveland and Hendricks from being
elected. Observing men on both sides have
spoken again and again all through the
campaign of how strangely all efforts to
secure harmony and cooperation between
the different factions have been thwarted
during the campaign, but no one seemed
able to point out tho man who was respon-
siblo for the discord. Latterly, however, it
has begun to dawn upon the minds of many
where all the trouble came from. The re-.
fusal Of Hendricks to run on tho ticket
with Cleveland is being avenged. S. j..
Tilden is getting in his work, and he is re-
sponsible for the desperate condition the
Democrats of New York find themselves in
to-day, and just before going into battle. II
it is him he can felicitate himself on hav-
ing done his work thoroughly and COM
pletely-making the election Of Blaine and
Logan a certainty.

WE COPY the following astounding para.
graph fiom the Cincinnati Timcs-Star Of
yesterday:
II is 10 secret In Columbus that George b.
0key, son OF Supreme Judge Okey, makes 500
COO by yesterdays decision. This has also
caused much comment.
What does that mean? Has the son of a
Supreme Judge of Ohio been peddling out
the decisions his father helps to make for
money consideration If he has, he
should be driven from the haunts of honest
men, and his father should be lashed, i'm
peached and incarcerated in the peniten-
tiary. Let us have the facts-all tho facts
Mr.. Times-Star.

1T looks now as If tho collapse of the
Democratic campaign of 1884 would be as
complete as was that of the Southern Con-
federacy in 1S6l-5. In the West the splen-
did triumph of the Republicans in Ohio in
October has demoralized the Cleveland
forces. Frantic proclamations and exhorta-
tions arc daily issued, and predictions of
great triumphs TO como are whispered about
to the faithful with sapient winks and mods
and with a confidence of mien that betrays
greater confidence In the gullubility of
the rank and file than in their ability to
schioye the much-coveted triumph.
In the East their condition is worse than
hopeless. In New York city tho different
factions of the Democratic party are waging
war Of determination against each other,
seemingly being moro determined to de-
stroy each other than the common enemy
the Republican party. SO relentless is the
fight between these factions that the Prosi-
dency is entirely lost sight Of, and every
effort is being made to secure the local Of
fees and leave Cleveland to take care OF
himself
In New Jersey and Connecticut working
men and operatives, and Irish-Americans
by the thousand, are deserting the rotten
hulk of Free-Trade Democracy and are
coming into the Republican camp by hun
dreds and thousands. AS was expressed on
banner in Republican procession In New
jersey recently, the woods are full of
recruits for Blaine and Logan from these
sources.
In short, look at it in whatever way you
may consider the situation from every
possibly point Of view weigh all the evil
dence that is before the publican as nicely
as you can, and but one conclusion can be
reached--and that is, that Cleveland will
be the worst beaten man that has run for
the Presidency since 1872. In saying this

IT is with feeling akin to sadness that
one sees the good old customs and obsery-
snccs Of our ancestors fall into disuse. A
few years ago All-Hallow-E'en could not
have crept upon us unthought of and
assed unnoticcd as tonight 1t no doubt
will do.
The observances once so general on this
day have to great extent been neglected
Of late. Perhaps the increasing formality
and restraint Of society prohibit the old
time bobbing for apples, blind-man's buff
and the merry kissing games perhaps the
dainties of the evening entertainment
nowadays has destroyed tho taste for ap-
pies and chestnuts that was so indispensa-
BILE, and perhaps the progress of the times
dscountenances the senseless practical
jokes, the frights and tricks and games of
Hallow-E'en.
Whatever The reason may be the day is
fading out Of the calendar, and those who
unite in "Hallow-E'en" sports tonight can
hardly escape the feeling that they are
celebrating but the ghost of once joyous
and universal holiday.
