THE COWBOY As a NEGOTIATOR.

The musical development of the modern cowboy

like cross-cut the sensibilities of the cul

They got "The Arkansas Traveller without inter

cowboy and his method of presenting his case, at
once gave orders that the gentle young men should
have anything musical they wanted

Democrats appearto have chosen Connecticut
for the fighting ground of the immediate future.
As THE TRIBUNE's correspondence shows, they
are planning for a vigorous campaign III legis-
lative elections, hoping to elect in 1887
Democratic successor to Senator Hawley.
Federal appointments in that State are made
with that end in view, and "Seven Mule
Barnum is evidently preparing to repeat some
of the fine work which has made his career
glorious in the annals of Democracy. But
Connecticut is normally a Republican State,
and there ought to be no doubt whatever about
the complexion of the Legislature of 1887.
There will be none if the Republicans keep
their eyes open, nip possible party discussions
in the bud and with perfected organization
force the fighting upon the ground of protection
to the labor and industries that form the very
life of the State. 1t is wholesome fact Tor
them to bear in mind that half of the State
Senate which is to have voice in choosing
Senator Hawley's successor will be elected
this coming fall. For at least half of tne State
this is not an " off year."

A correspondent of THE TRIBUNE comments
upon the dignity with which the Supreme
Court of New-Jersey conducts its sessions. No
fault is to be found with that. Even in re-
public it is agreed that attention to forms and
ceremonies in courts of justice exerts an ex-
cellent influence upon the public and in New
Jersey, at least the elevated tone OF the bench
has had a striking effect upon members of the
bar. The "shyster" lawyer Is unknown in
many communities there.

overlooked the fact that the disappearance of tn
silver dollar from the coinage had been legally rec.
ognized But of the latter fact there is not the least
room whatever for MISTAKE. The Act of 1873. in
language which appears in Section 1914 of the Re.
vised Statutes expressly declares that the silver
coins of the United States shall be trade dollar.

According to correspondent at Toledo, Mr.. D. r.
Locke, better known TO the reading world an
Petroleum v, Nasty. expresses great confidence in
the success of the Prohibition movement ia that
State at the next trial. He maintains that tho
movement has nothing to do with politics, and will
neither help hurt either political party, but will
have the support of as macy Democrats as Republi.
cans He declares that he is an ardent Republican.
and at the same time Jealous Prohjbitionst; that
the President of the United States has nothing to do
with the question of prohibition, nor has the Gov.
ern0r of that State, because he has veto power
nor has the Legislature itself. except to submit the
question to the electors of the State 1t is proposed
according to his statement, that the Legislature
elected this fall shall submit prohibition as single
and separate proposition. Mr.. Locke declares that
this will be done without doubt, and ut the sue.
ceeding election tho prohibitory amendment will be
adopted by 100000 majority. He believes that
the amendment was honestly carried at the election
last year. but was defeated in the count, not ty

or Indifference of those making the returns.

A more uncalled for and brutal murder mas
seldom been committed in this city than tha1
which took place yesterday afternoon In Mott,
st. A drunken Irishman, without cause, hreu
his revolver into crowd of peaceful emma
men, killing one outright, and injuring another
so that he will probably die. Where the
slaughter would have ended it Is hard to tell
if a policeman had not arrived opportuneiy 10
capture the murderer. In police parlance inc
fellow was "pretty severely punished" before
he could be "run in." In other words, his heau
was broken by the policeman's club before ne
could be arrested. Heis not so badly injured
however, but that the authorities will be abe
to see him hanged presently in vindlcatlon Oh
the law. We do not offer inducements to chi
namen to come to this country; but when they
are once here their lives are just as sacred Us
any white man's-or ought to be.

?rOn another page is printed letter from the
Director General of the American Exhibition in
London describing the purpose and progress of
that novel enterprise Mr. Whitley endeavors
to satisfy whatever public curiosity the some
what vague reports about the undertaking may
have aroused, and we. cheerfully give him the
opportunity to tell his own story. If his
present expectations as to the extent and
quality of the exhibition are realized, and if the
English interest in all things American which
now exists continues for another year, this
private enterprise NAV prove to be an affair of
international Importance.

G.. Tommasi-Crudeli, professor OF hygiene IN the

which have been accepted for some time In this

The Mugwumps still continue to blame every
body but the President for the blunders of the Adj
ministration. But if they think that they will de-
ceiye the country by such an evasion of the facts,
they are much mistaken. First Mr. Manning was
declared to be an innocent victim who per-
suaded by the naughty politicians to appoint Hig-
GINS Then Mr.. Bayard was made to bear the
odium of all the bad diplomatic appoint
ments while with absurd inconslst-
ency the President credited with
those that were good. Now poor Postmaster
General Villas Is sent out int the wilderness
political scapegoat on account of his confidential
circular, while 1t is moro than lntmated that the
President is the innocent sufferer from the mistakes
of his subordinates. All this Is amusing Every
body outside of lunatlc asylum knows that the
President alone is ultimately responsible for the
acts of his Administration, and that the policy of
his Cabinet officers Is his policy But the Mag
wumps cannot be expected to acknowledge this at
once. They have raised the President aloft a
pedestal OF immaculate political virtue. and have
declared that he can do no wrong. 1t would never
do. therefore, to confess that he is only common
clay after ALL Hence the attacks on Manning,
Bayard and Villas.

Yesterday was so charming a day in the city
that it was hard to understand why any one
should have desired to 90 anywhere except to
Central Park. But there is no accounting for
tastes, and, therefore, it is not surprising to
learn that large crowd went to COney Island.
The sea caused comparatively little damage
last winter at the beaches. Except in one
place they are IN good condition, and the
various resorts are as attractive as ever.
Yester lay was practically the first Sunday of
the season, which may fairly be said to open
auspici0usly.
= Democratic politicians in this city are deeply
agitated at present over the selection OF sue
cessor to Collector Robertson. Mr.. Hubert D.
Thompson has been supposed to have good
chances for the place until lately when he has
admitted that he wanted it. This, in the Opin-
ion of some shrewd observers, indicates that
Mr. Thompson will hardly be appointed. In
common with all reputable citizens, we certainly
hope the ex- Commissioner will not be let loose
to practise his 5000 tricks in the Custom House,
but if Mr. Cleveland does not put HIM in there
or in some other equally snug place, Mr..
Thompson will be able to claim with justice
that he is victim of the basest ingratitude.
Already the crack of rife shots has been heard
at Creedmoor, and practice at the butts will be
kept up busily all summer by the National
Guard. This work and the routine of the camp
at Peekslili will doubtless improve the condi-
ton Of our citizen soldiery greatly; but in the
minds Of many persons interested in military
affairs, our militamen will never attain the
highest possible standard of excellence until
some plan of prize drilling is resorted to in this
State. 1t is established in certain parts of the
West and the South, whore, although there Is

When Congress passed the law providing for a
specially hastened delivery of letters bearing a
special ten-cents stamp it was left TO the POST
master.Cieneral to designate the Offices where the
Improvement should go into effect on the first of
July. 1t is announced from Washington that Mr.
Villas says he cannot fluid time to designate these
Offices and the practical operation of the tencents
delivery may be delayed some weeks or months.
In view of the fact that the Postmaster-General
can lind time to decapltate forty or fifty Republic
can postmasters daily for the purpose of appoint
ing as many hungry and thirsty Democrats In their
places, his excuse seems to DO lame. Inc rear rea-
son for delay is that the Administration Is only an
ofllce-brokerage affair 1t has no time ior puolic
policies, improvements of pubic service OF any
thing else but the distribution OF spolls.

AS usual our opponents are trying n

Of yesterday.

court house this afternoon and stated that
my report Of the city finances. rendered
at the last meeting of the. council. had
been signed by him, and that he sup
posed it was all right | asked him if he
had examined the report, and he adj
mltted that he had not done so very
critically, but he was satisfied that it was
correct and had signed it. [ felt some
what gratifed at this expression Of con-
hdence in me, although also somewhat
surprised that the mayor should afix his
siOnatu.e to a report which he hadn't ex-
amined.
The above quoted remarks are II tissue
Of falsehoods from beginning to end.
Mayor Reel, considering it to be for the
best interests of the city, asked Treasurer
Bergman to resign. That official, who
has held Office for fourteen years, declined
to do so, and consequently he will be re-
moved. So far as the quarterly report OF
the treasurer is concerned. Mayor Reel
had not signed it at the time he had the
interview with Mr.. Bergman; it is not
signed yet, nor will it be signed and APP
proved by the mayor until the finance
committee of the city council has had the
opportunity to examine it, and to com
pare it with the books of the treasurer.
After that committee gets through with
the report, the mayor will take it in hand
and the city treasurer will be advised in
due time of the mayors action in the
premises.
Some ofour county and city officials have
held fat offices for so long that they seem
to have imbibed the idea that instead of
being the servants OF the people, they are
the peoples masters, and claim the right
to hold on TO Office indefinitely, regardless
of the wishes Of their fellow citizens.
Turn about is fair play" and a free
country like ours does not recognize an
Office holding class who claim to hold pc.
sitions of honor, trust and profit by di-
vine right. Our institutions are based
upon the principle that the people gov.
ern, and they do not permit a servant Of
the people to dictate to his master.
1t is time that the our house ring
should be taught a lesson, and it will moi
be many days before some of the members
of that corrupt outfit will have their noses
brought to the grindstone-and lying
won't save them.
