Tho Chicago Ministers Inaulted "a
an Alarming degree.

CHICAGO, Ill, December 10 1t was
expec'ed that the subject OF the ballet
would come up at the meeting Of the
Methodist ministers today, but II did
not on account Of the absence OF Mr.
Bland, who intended to open the dis,
Cussion. Members, though, talked
very freely about the dance before and
after the meeting and most OF them
were outspokeh against the institution
and he alleged intention OF opera
managers to send around invitations
10 m nisters was denounced as an in-
suit, although nUne OF those present
had received tickets.
~ would Just rs soon,' the Rev.
Frank Bristol said, "get an invitation
from house OF disrepuie as from an
opera company. Not that | mean tC

as a brothel, but everybody knowl
how ministers at nd on this subjeo,

IT is given out that Neal Dow has declared
that he will stand by the third party move
ment in favor of prohibition because, as he
maintains, ''the Republican party is irrevoca-
bly, committed to the defense of the saloons. y
This he says in Republican State where a
prohibition law has been in force for years.
To carry out his plan he forms third party,
the only result Of which can be that it will
inure to the benefit of that truly temperance
organization, that incorporating enemy of
the saloon, the Democratic party. That is
what the third party movement means every
time. 1t never did accomplish prohibitory
legislation, and never will. The only States
that have succeeded in establishing prohibi-
tory legislation have been those where no
third party was established.

THE saloons of New York oity are attempt
ing to run out the places that dare to sell beer
at three cents glass, though it is evident
that the beverage can be sold at that rate and
money made at it. Beer drinkers will proba-
bly, see to it that the three-cent saloons are
backed up. 1t would be as reasonable that
bakeries should attempt to boycott such others
as presumed to sell bread at cheaper rate
The profits in the saloon business are
enormous, and it is in the nature of an imposi-
tion that saloon men should be forbidden by
others in the business to sell for what they
see fit

New York Mail and Express.
No such celebration as this has ever been held
in an American city. The nearest thing to il,
probably, is the carnival week in New Orleans.
That, however, lacks the historical interest and
the representative character Of the present dis
play.
The history Of Albany reaches far back of the
granting of its city charter. Its inhabitants
claim, indeed, that settlement was made an
fur traders as early as 1910. However this may
be- Hendrix Hudson went up there in 1908, on
the Half Moon and in 1914 company of Dutch
traders took possession of an island in the river
near the site of the present city In 1923 was
built Fort Orange, where now the steamboat
pier stands and from that day to this the settle
ment has grown and thrived.
II WAS not until 1856 that the name of Albany
was attached to the village that had grown up
around Fort Orange, and that was then called
Rensselaerswyck, after the great PATRON family
that had owned the site OF the city and the ad
joining land for miles on both sides of the river
In that year the English got full possession Of
this province; New Amsterdam became New
York; and the name of New Netherlands disap-
peared from history.
1t was nearly century after the granting OF
municipal privileges to Albany that the third
city was chartered. From 1856 to 1856 New York
and Albany were the only cities in the present
State of New York. Then followed Hudson,
and after it. in 170S Schenectady. or cities In
other States Philadelphia which Is about tho
Oldest did not get its charter until l701. Tbs
citizens of Albany have right to DO proud OF
their two centuries Of civic existence and to
make n fuss about it to their hearts content Il
is a good thing to cultivate civic pride and the
historic sense" in anypeople

THE Sentinel is bound to be pleased. Up
to the time Of the meeting Of the Democratic
State central committee the Sentinel, in
double leads, asserted that it would be a
great mistake for the committee to fail to ad-
just the difficulties in the different districts
between the several candidates and factions.
The Sentinel seemed to think the committee
was clothed with plenary power to do as it
saw fit. The members of the committee,
not caring to get into anything like a Donny-
brook fight, referred the whole matter to the
State convention, the very thing the Sentinel
declared should not be done. Now that
organ is willing that 1.-THE glass should pass"
whatever that may mean. 1t is generally
customary to pass the bottle in Democratic
assemblies.

NEW YORK, July 2l.-Captaiu Charles Allen,

will not race again with tho Surprise for cup
except on the conditions that the course of the
Surprise shall be straight from New London to
Shelter Island, and that the Henrietta shall sail
around the Surprise ten times during the run,
or he will race for the cup over the same course
again at Shelter Island. the condition being that
the Henrietta shall make two miles to the Sur
prises one. The Henrietta's length Is 463 feet
and the Atalanta's 229 feet.
