II Mr. Lamar and Mr.. Naming have schemes for
future political preferment they have kept them
from tho vulgar gaze.
Mr.. Charles p Miller Of whom committee OF
citizens is composed, was at 1t again yesterday. He
wants the General Term to confirm the order ad-
judging Mr. Edison guilty of contempt of court in
refusing to obey the injunction of Judge Beach.
Has not the City of New-York some kind-hearted
judge who will rescue it from the annoyance OF
Citizen Miller by enjoining him from further per-
formances of this kindf
iaMarriages specially; acceptable at all hours;
strangers particularly invited" is the way In which
a clergyman of York County, Penn, advertises one
of his ministerial functions There are we are sorry
to say many other clergymen who are practically as
bad as this marriage broker. although they do not
advertise the fact cOarsely 1t is almost lncredi-
blethat ordained minister should hold himself IN
readiness to marry all comers for the sake of a
beggarly fee; and yet such seems to be the fact.
Such men are doing much to make divorces COM
mon; and if their ecclesiastical superiors DO not
speedily restrain them the State should at once pro-
hibit them from exercising function which they so
grossly abuse. The Christian minister of all men,
should be the last to loosen the marriage tie. by
bringing it into contempt
The World represents Mr. Manning as being =" of
Irish English and Dutch extraction" This is
laborious effort to induce Irish voters, who consti-
tute the bone and sinew of the Democratic party to
believe that one of the seven Cabinet appointments
to be made by Mr.. Cleveland is drop or two Ia
their interest.
The late hearing before the Legislature on the
Niagara Falls Reservation project made clearer
than ever the necessity that exists for action, and
prompt action, in the premises. Senators and
Assemblymen should not forget that by the terms OF
the bill which was passed in 1888 appointing
commissioners it was provided that unless an
appropriation should be made within two years to
pay for the lands selected and located, " all the
proceedings which may have been taken for acquir-
ing the title to tho said lands shall be void" The
two years will have expired next month. If there
fore the Legislature. responding to public senti-
nent decide to pass the pending appropriation, they
must not delay.
Now that the legal troubles cf the Madison Ave
nue. Congregational Church are over. we hope Its
trustees and deacons will have little time to
devote to religion The Bible contains some points
bearing on their case not specially mentioned IN
Blackstone, which cannot be too speedily nor too
carefully considered.
The Chilian Army numbers 7,9f6 men. war
with Chill would be an awful thing to contemplate
in our present military condition.
If Mr. Cleveland really must 20 into the past for
bis Cabinet. why not construct 1t on the basis of
1876. with q reminisconce Of 1860, like this:
