SPECIMEN DEMOcRArIC WORK.

Democratic nominating conventions in
Queens County have never borne an enviable
reputation for the character of their work, but
the one that met on October | o and deliberately
presented Benjamin w. Downing as a caudi-
date for the Office of County Judge capped the
climax of impudcncc. Downing is the man
whose corrupt practices in public office were so
glarng that Grover Cleveland (whOse charity
has covered a multitude of Democratic sins,
while Governor Of this State, was obliged to
turn him out of Office. He had been District
Attorney of the county for eighteen years, and
his conduct had been so questionable that a
thick atmosphere of scandal had long sur
rounded him. The press Of the county had fre-
1uenty accused him of protecting criminals
and of pigeon -hollng indictments. At last u
case of open bribery was made out against him.
A special committee Of private citizens, in
cludiug such estimable men as cX-JudgcMOnsOD
]. Lee Smith and Charles Bcnncr. Investigated
the case and presented it to the Governor with
memorial asking fol Downing's removal A
trial was had before Charles 5. Fairchild, the
present Democratic Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury. The accuscrs alleged that Downing
had accepted n brbe of 5000 from the relatives
of a man who had been killed, with the under
standing that he was to secure Il verdict Of
murder in the first degree against the prisoner
whom tho Grand Jury had indicted only for
manslanghter. Downing was represented be-
fore the referee by counsel, aud yOluminous
testimony was taken for and against him and
submitted tn Mr.. Cleveland.
Before the Governors decision was handed
down. the Democratic Senatorial Convention

ing. But the evidence against him was so clear
and the scandal 80 noxlous that Mr. Cleveland
found it impossible to escape the necessity of
deciding that the charges were true. In his de-
cision lac said that he had examined the case in
the hore that he might be able to conclude that
the charges were not sustained, but, he added,
" am forced to the conclusion that the charges
made are sustained, and that the officer COM
planned of should be removed" The Senatorial
campaign then became one of vindication,"
but though the district is Democratic by usual
majority of 1,500, Downing was defeated by
nearly 900 votes.
These facts are only two years old, but in
their face and in the face of weghty legal
opinion that the man is incapactated by the
Penal Code from holding any Office under the
State again, his suborned party convention has
the brazen clrontery to ask honest people to
vote for him 1t is impossible for us to sup
pose that the voters of Queens County have SC
little self-Tespect TO give him even n cor
poral's guard of support. But if they do they
should not fail to obtain from him a full UNDER
standing rs to what his charge would be for
sentencing IN innocent man as County Judge,
if he charges $500 to convict him as District
Attorney. Imagine Downing charging a Grand
Jury to iudict corrupt officials, and shaking il

ESTHETICS In VORSHlP.

The Church Congress has had its annual de-
| bate on Ritualsm. But curiOusly enough
there is a change in nomenclature. The old
time theme now appears in the new style OF
u Estheticsm in Worship" Papers were rea d
Yesterday by representatives of opposite sec
tions in the Protestant Episcopal Church and
the discussion was opened on practically the
same lines as in the past One of the speakers,
however, delivered so fOrcible and so original
an address as to invest this well-wOrn subject
with fresh interest. This was the Rev. George
II. Van De Water one of the most eloquent
clergymen in Brooklyn. whose success in or
ganizing parish and diocesan work has already
given him notable reputation. AS n High
Churchman irrey Ocably opposed to what he
considers dangerous tendencies and erroneous
doctrines in Rituaism, he boldly advocated the
legitimate use of aesthetics in worship. con-
tending that many of the things ordinarily con-
demned rs ritual eXcesseS were simply acccs-
sions of beauty in worship and could be encOur-
aged, since they are grounded upon principles
expressed in nature, commended in Revelation
and consonant with mans sensibilitics and
taste.
Doubtless some of the more conservative men
present at TINS session were hGIlIeu 10 HcdI

fashioned and orthodox in doctrine rs ever were
Bishops White and Scabury frankly expressing
preference for the eastward position, vest

Other practices that are generally regarded rs
extreme. Possibly they were not entirely rcas-
surcd by his positive assertion that aesthetics

point where doctrine was insecure and not fur
ther nor by his explicit statement that so long
as abuse of a right principle vas avoided 1t
was entirely safe to get the best use OF any
thing IN itself good, beautiful and true. But
they must have been impressed with his inclsive

pie of aesthetics in worship, and also by the

use can be made of agencies once considered
anomalous and extreme without compromising

to see many things introduced in ST. Georges
against which he had iercely inveghed in his
youth. But his successor wonld probably be
the last man to admit that there has been any
material departure from the Old-time dOctlinal
teaching.

THE FATE OF REL.

1 The Privy Council have dismissed the appeal
on behalf of Rel, and it is reported that nc fur
ther attempts to save him from the death pen
atty are likely to succeed Nevertheless, the
situation in Canada is such that the execution
of this man, however justifable under the la ",
can hardly be anything else than a grave pOliti-
cal blunder. The relations between the French
and English colonists arc SO strained at present
that the two races can scarcely live together
peaceably. The irritation growing out of the
smallpox epidemic has greatly widened the
breach, and the execution of Riel in the face OF
the strong sympathy felt for him by the French
must be expected to render the situation less
toerable and more dangerous than ever. Nor
can it be said that the case Of the Government
is altogether beyond criticism. Had the rebel
lion led by Rel been wholly wanton, and
causeless insurrection the feeling exhibited for
him might be ignored as unreasonable, but in
asmuch as the wrongs of the half-breeds were
real, having been admitted by the Government,
it is impossible to take the ground that there is
no room for clemency i'll the case.
To hang Rel under the circumstances will be
to Justify the charge that his death is intended
as warning to the half-breed settlers not to
protest against abuses, nor can such charge
be overcome by any attempt to defend the
harshness of the penalty by referring to his pre-
vious conspiracies. If Rel is dangerous man,
he can be made harmlGss by keeping him in
prison. But there is good ground for doubt as
To his sanity, and to force TO the gallows
prisoner who is believed by many, and upon
strong evidence. to be irresponsible, involves
heavy responsibility. 1t is to be presumed that
the Governor General can still reprieve the
condemned man, and it is to be hoped that he
will exercise his prerogative. There appears
to be no exigency requiring this execution,
while all the external circumstances point to
mercy as the sOnndest policy.
