Senator Sherman is not at all Disconnected
at Democratic criticism upon his recent speech.
He has replied to Governor HOadly's remarks,
and has Ieasserted his statements made at Mt.
Gilead. The Senator demands only what all
Republicans demand-that the fruits of the war
shall be enjoyed by the Nation. This cannot
be so long as the negro voters Of the South are
practically deprived of the elective franchise.
That is so self-evidont a proposition that the
Democrats do not take the trouble to argue
against it. They dodge it.

II il not to be doubted that many OF Mr..
Evarts,s friends want him to become candi-
date for the Governorship this fall. Some OF
them have even gone so FAR as 10 pegin al
earnest canvass for him. FOL instance III
Ulster work I'm his behalf has been especially
active and feeIers have been extended over inc
State. According to a TRIBUNE correspondent
at Kingston, however, Mr.. Evarts has thrown
all the cold water possible upon suggestions
that he should be nominated. He prefers to re-
main in the Omitted States Senate. Meanwhile
the friends of men who would be willing to ac-
cent the nomination arc busy Throughout the
State. General Carr has n strong following;
but nothing is certain about the result OF all
this canvassng except that every one declares
that the candidate Of the convention must DC
one heartily approved by a united Republic

The accident which for second time put Oh
the race between the Puritan and the Oenesta
is an unfortunate affair III VIII De re-
rretted by none more sincerely than by the
American yachtsmen. 1t was, however, only an
accident. No one Will accuse the skipper OF the
Puritan of having intended to interfere with
his rival. The worst that can be said is that he
tried sharp Yankee maneuvre which did not
succeed. One cannot admire bis undertaking
or his judgment but it is only fair to say that
if he had sailed past the Genesta's bow success
fully the performance might have been ap
plauded. Ii is matter of congratulatlon that
the owner of the Genesta, Sir Richard Sutton, Is
so thorough gentleman and SO genuine sports
man. The race would have been his after the
accident if he hao chosen to accept it; but he
declined, saying that he did not want it; he
desired fair, open contest. That the American
yachtsmen are bound in honor to give him, and
that they certainly will give him, if it takes all

Ever since the stages were withdrawn from
Madison and Fifth ayes, property owners there
have suspected that an effort would presently
be made to build railway on one or other Of
these streets. In their suspicious they were
quite right. Articles of Incorporation for a
surface road in Fifth-ave. were filed ut Albany
yesterday. OF course, the corporators antici-
pate q long fight, but hope for victory at the
end of it. We do not believe they will ever
succeed. Public opinion demands that this
magnificent street, the finest in the world, shall
not be given up to satisfy the greed of lot of
spectators.

When the impossible is demanded it often
becomes possible. At least the Democratic
trespassers upon Indian Reservation lands
who told the President some time ago that
they could not possibly move their great herds
in forty days seem likely to accomplish the
disagreeabc task set before them. More than
half their cattle have been driven from the
territory, and the remainder, save those be-
hnelng TO one obstinate man, are on the

atssna TO this one ease but il all the cattle
knsE had refused to bulge, the Army might
have had no difficulty in ousting them.

The Vocalist Of the Rockies.

The burro is a condensed jackass. He
is little all over except his ears and
voice. He has long hair all over his
body, four legs, two ears ard one tail
AS a vocalist the burro stands without a
rival. He starts off with a low, sweet
"ohy he oily he-haw he haw-haw-haw-
he haw " and keeps it up until you
tremble for his life, and Just as Won
think that he will surely stop. or die
and get out of misery. he disappoints
all your found expectations by turning
on a little more sound, reversing the
action and retracting all he has Just
said.
A vocal solo rendered by a fully equip
ped burro is al experience never to be
forgotten. / have seen strong men
moved to tears rs they listened to his
sweet but melancholy cadence because
they had no club or battering ram with
which to show their Appreciation and
sooth their perturbed spirits.
The burro canno sing without raising
tail. As his vocal organs timber no

Secretary Lamar has given notice TO a
strong syndicate of eastern and western
capitalists that upon their showing their
plans of organization and the outlines Of
the improvements they propose to
make, he will grant them a new lease Of
hotel privileges in the Yellowstone
National Park. The lease given Rufus
Hatcii's defunct hotel has
gone the way of the company itself.
The e syndicate comprises Sir Charles
Gibson and John ID. Perry Of st. Louis /;
G. b. Wright and j. G. Bullet of Phila-
phia Frederick Billings, former presi-
dent of the Northern Pacific. J.C. Casey
Of Minneapolis and ID. Darlington of
Toledo. All of them are very rich bust
ness men, and none of them are with
out a practical sense of what the public
demands in "A summer resort. The new
company has no connection with the
Hatch Douglas Hobart venture. and the
big ~caravansary built by that concern
will not be taken off their hands by the
new company. The plans have been
drawn for six pretty and thoroughly
convenient hotels, sufficiently large to
accommodate the present and pros
pective tourist patronage of the park.
These hotels will be erected at Nam
moth Hot Springs, Norris Geyser Basin,
Upper Geyser Basin, Grand Canyon.
Tower Falls and the Yellowstone lake.
The syndicate will build a steamer for
plea>uring on the lake, and will see that
ample stage facilities are provided for
transit to all parts of the park. They
will also erect telephone lines covering
all parts of the park.

Nj. H. w. Shaw, better known as Josh
Billings" died at Monterey. Cal, Oct
l4th, Of apoplexy. The particulars are as
follows: About 9:45 this morning DR.
Heintz was summoned to the hotel to
attend Josh Billings, who was sitting on
. chair in the vestibul apparently EN-
joying the best Of health. When the
physician arrived he complained of a
severe pain in the chest and remarked
MY doctors east ordered rest of the
BRAIN" and added, throwing back his
long hair: but you can see l do not
have to work my brain for a simple
lecture. 1t comes spontaneously"
While he was talking he suddenly
threw his hands over his head and fell
back wards unconscious. He was car
ried to his room, and at the end of three
minutes life was extinct. His wife, who
accompanied him on his trip to the
Pacific coast, vas with him during his
last moments. His face has retained a
perfectly natural expression and bears
no indication Of pain. He was to have
lectured here Friday night for the bene-
fit Of the local lodge of Good Templars.
At the hotel he had made himself a
fsvorite by his good nstgred ways.
