Commissioner Raymond at the conference Of Boards
Of Health in Washington last winter. With tho
likelihood of an outbreak Of cholera In spite Of ell
precautions, Mayor Low will not hesitate to make
this ordinance effective by adding his signature.
We notice few scattering references to Bayard
Democrats in some Democratic papers and 1t Is
limited that the Secretary Of State Is building up
party for the purpose Of bringing about his nomi-
nation in 1885, But from present indications 1t IL
not likely that there will be enough Bayard Demo-
Gratis IN the country In 1888 to fill a good-sized
hall The difficulty Is that the Bayard Democrats
are being sent out of the country on foreign mis-
sions and consulates in order to keep the political
workers at home. This may be good thing indi-
rectly for the country, but it playsthe mischief
with the Bayard party. 1t is surprising that the
astute Secretary failed to send the working poll
ticians abroad instead Of bis own followers. In
that case, he would not have been so lonely.
Matthew Arnold recently commended the Ameri-
can people because they think straight and see
clear. But that was before Democratic Admins
tration had appointed Higgins. Kelley and several
collectors of internal revenue in New-Engand.
Jacob Mueller. president Of the Ohio Liquor
Dealers Association, who was recently appointed
Consult General at Frankfort-on-the-Man, seems to
have had q good deal in common with st. John In
the last campaign One of the circulars sent out Dy
Mr.. Mueller, and signed by him, stated: The only
safety against Prohibition lies In the defeat OF the
Republican party.n Candidates on the Repub-
lican ticket in Ohio" he said, " had laid down the
preposterous judicial doctrine that the Legislature
might enact Prohibition" and "every liberal
minded man. especially those engaged In the liquor
traffic. should lose no time in uniting to defeat that
party" This ought to be pleasant reading ror oe.
John and his pseudo temperance friends, now that
the Administration has rewarded Mr.. Mueller with
good Office.
General Butler should have thought twice

Hoyt will case, Washington is about a. Dao d
place as a sane person can go to-" III ne hao oono
an he vrould have remembered the fable OF the
Fox and the Grapes that were sour, aud probably
would have uttered some other witty remark.
1t is not creditable to the State OF New fork eha'
certificates of Indebtedness issued by IL In 1903 W
take I'D claims growing out OF tho war OF loi@
still remain unpaid. Forest Cranston, OF Massachu-
setts recently presented ono OF tnese cer'inoa,o'
for $50. and interest from 1858, to Controller
Cbapin, who replied that there appropriation
from which TO pay those claims. Mr.. Cranston
writes 70 THE TRIBUNE that he has frequently pre-
sented this certificate since 1859 and has always
been met with the same reply. AS those certificates
wero signed by the Adjutant-General and the In
Of the State under the law OF 1909
they ought to be taken up at once. The Controller
should have made some recommendation to the
| Legislature on the subject.
