EFFECT OF MIR RUssELLs wirHDRAwAL-MuCH
LOUD TALK on TIE OTHER SIDE.
The first occupation of William NJ. Eyarts on
reaching his law office at No. 90 Wall-st, about
o'clock yesterday, was to open half dozen tele-
grams that awaited his arrival. They were all
from Albany, and three of them contained an
nonncemeuts of the withdrawal of Leslie w. Rus
sell IN his favor. So favorable an indication could
have no other result than to elate Mr. Eyarts and
make him, if possible, more confident of his nomi-
nation than he had been at any time preyi-
ously. Senator Warner Miller was among
his first visitors and was about as
much gratified rs MIR. Evarts. After the
publication of the announcement III the evening
papers there was something of an Evarts boom.
Coming on the heels of Mr.. Hiscock's withdrawal
and the breaking of Morton's hold in Work
City, Mr. Russelrs action considered by the
friends Of Mr. Evarts as practically settling the
contest. The Morton men have lost none of their
ability to "claim it with confidence" and kept up
a constant fire in behalf of their candidate. The
afternoon train brought John 4. smyth. Of Albany,
and ex- Marshal G. ID. MacDougall, of Auburn, to
confer with ex-senator Platt. The Legislative
train little later brought all the New-fork and
Kings County members Captain Chester ).

THE hydrophobia scare in London
has at least served the purpose OF
bringing out the grave and suggestive
fact that 100000 dogs are owned and
supported within the city limits,
when. as the quaint old Connecticut
philosopher remarked of the canine
population of his town, "haf as many
could easily do all the business. And
so, even if the danger be largely exag-
gerated, it may turn out that the work
of the dog-killers will prove beneficial
in the way of economy and the proper
regulation Of demand and supply.

THE decision of the United States
supreme court, confirming the inter
probation by the lower court of the
Edmunds law, puts into the hands of
the national government a weapon
which by persistent use ought to be
destructive of polygamy in Utah. 1t
requires no other evidence of the guilt
of an accused person than his open
maintenance of dual family and his
association in a domestic way with
more than one woman. 1t does not
require other evidence as to the in
timacy of the relations existing within
the secrecy of any dwelling, and by
giving this broad Interpretation to
the word ''cohabit" virtually sounds
the death knell of pigamous relations
in that territory.

AS Indicated by an article in a
leading German paper, the argument
of that government relative to the ex-
pulsion from the country of natives
who have become naturalized in other
countries, is that they left Germany
to avoid doing military duty, and
then came back to live, with a foreign
citizenship as a bar to rendering the
empire any assistancein return for the
protection accorded them. The point
would seem to be we'll taken. The
thing for Germans to do who leave
their native country and become
naturalized in this country is to settle
down here in good faith, and leave
Faderland to take care Of itself.

there is small hope for them. The ex-

a very fair test of the grade of their
