| 1t is given out that the President will not go
TO Buffalo to VOTE The reason for this de-
cision is furnished in the Buffalo newspapers,
which state that, in order to escape taxation,
the President has sworn that his residence is in
Washington. This seems to be a very good
reason why he will not 60 to Buffalo to vote.

reference is made to the President: " He has a

Supreme Court bench would worthily sls-

An IMPORTANT TURF CONTROVERSY.

The members of the Monmouth Park Commit
tee who are sitting in judgment upon Applcby
g. JohnsOns claim against William l.. Scott are
as uneasy as if they were occupying the throne OF
Bulgaria. They naturally shrink from hurting
Mr.. SCOTS feelings, for the Erie Congrcssman's
wealth and position make him one Of the pillars
Of the turf although his horses have generally
been contcnted with obscure positions in actual
races. And the committee are averse to alienat-
ing the powerful confcderacy of bOokmakcIs in
which Applcby g. johnson arc prominent and
Influential. But it was long ago evident to care
full Observers that the racing associations must
surrender the sport to the absolute dictation and
control of professional gamblers or they must
teach the graduates of the farO-bank and the
roulettc-whec by some sharp lesson that racing
is not kept up solely or even chiefly as means
Of helping them to prey upon their dupes Every
year the book makers have grown stronger upon
Easter race courses, more nsolcnt, more defiant
of the law and more contcmptuous of public SEN
timcnt. Every year the revenue which the
Concy Island Jockey Club and the Monmouth
Park Association have derived from them has
increased and so eager have been the managers
Of these organizations to swell the number and
richness OF the prizes offered for racing that they
have S 'imulated the development of boOkmalling
TO most unwholesome and vicious proportions.
Every racing man in the United States is wait
ing with interest for the decision in the Scott
case Whatever may be the result, it win have
an important influence on the condition pf rae
ing affairs next season. If it is in Mr.. SCOTS
favor, the booSmalers will be compelled TO
recognize the fact that they have overcstimatcd
their power on the turf and that there is an
au hoiiy superior to theirs. If il is against
Mr. Scott, it is not likely that his colors will he

at tho Lyceum Theatre she is playing the parts OF
Iolanthe In "King Renes Daughter" and Miss Jenny

TORY VACILLATiON.

This has been an Irish year in British politics
ending very much as it began, with Tory
Government shutting between twopolicles. Last
January Lord Salisbury's Ministry were In
hopeless minority in the Commons, but they
could have continued in power if they had been
able to decide between two opposi &C courses.
Their alliance with the Parncl,cs could have
been easily maintained. il they had made sweep
ing concessions to them. MIR. Gladstone had as
sured them privately that he would support
tfem. if they were willing to consider the Irish
demands md TO settle once for all the ques IONS
at issue between the two countries This was
the policy of Cancellation. The alternative
course was to propose the re-enacimcnt of the
Crimes bill and to govern Ireland with firmness
and severity. large body Of Moderate Lib
erals were prepared to support the Government
because they were alarmed by MIR. Gladstonc's
rumorcd conversion TO Home Rule. The Min
istry could not decide to do either one thing Or
the other. They recalled Lord Carnaryon for
being too conciliatoy; in the Queens Speech

THE ALDERMEN At 1T AGAIN.

The Board Of Aldermen is deter
mined TO make hay while the sun
shines. 1t passed over the Mayors
veto yesterday the resolution granting fran
chise to the Twenty-cighth and Twcnty-nn h
Street Cross-town Railroad. The Mayor called
attention in his veto to the wording of the rcso-
luton as an evasion of the statute by practically
excluding competition in bidding for the fran
chse. No investigation was made by the Alder
men to ascertain whether this objection was well
founded or not They were determined to grant
the franchise without loss Of time, and they
passed it over the veto.
Another message from the Mayor vetoed the
proposed grant to the st. Nicholas Aycnnc and
Cross-town Line This will come up for action
at the next meeting. Although the Mayor gives
strong reasons for his disapproval Of the rcsolu-
ton, it will undoubtedly pass. From the day
of the Broadway franchise up to the present
time the Aldermen have never failed to pass such
resolu ions over We o. Unfortunately the pres
cnt Board has shown that it is no improvement
over the "boodle" Board of 1854 in this re-
spect.
The Railroad Committee reported favOrably
yes erday a resolution to grant franchise for
railroads in several crowded downtown streets
to connect various North and East River ferries
and also in favor of franchise for a road in the
annexed district. If there arc any streets not
covered by railroads for which the Aldermen
can grant franchise they will do it, before
January /. if only sufficient "inllucncc" is
brought to bear. 1t has become a regular thing
to rush through such business at this time of
the year. The election is over. The memtcrs
who have been defeated apparently believe they
have nothing to fear while those who have been
re-ecc ed cannot be called to account for another
year. II would be happy thing if the hood
lcrs" of 1884, some of whom arc members Of
the present Board, could he sent to Sing Sing.
But it is doubtful if even that would prevent
future members from taking tho chances of sim
liar transactions in the way Of grating fran
chiscs. Radical treatment such as that proposed
al Albany las. winter is needed.

they vaguely limited at coercion and the sup
preston of tho National League they toyed
first with one policy and then with the other
they dsclamcd any idea Of rcprcssive legis-
lation and sent pondcrous Mr.. Smith to Dublin
to report on the condition of the island and
hardly had he started before they changed their
minds once more and announced the in roduc ion
Of a rigorous coercion bill. The outcome Of
all this vacillation was the Governments defeat,
with every Irish member voting against them
and only eighteen Moderate Liberals on their
side.
December opens with corresponding evidences
Of weakness and indecision on the part OF the
Salisbury Government. With the Liberal
Cnionsts pledged to support them in their Irish
policy. the Ministry have q large majority in
the Commons, but nevertheless they arc almost
as irrcsolute as they were last January, when
Mr. Gladstone and Mr.. Parnell had a majority
in place of a minority with them. The Chief
Secretary began with Cancellation. rs Lord Car
naryon had done. His military agents busied
themselves with effecting compromises bctwcon
landlords and tenants. General Butler brought
himself into marked dsfavor with the landlords
by sympathizing with the occupiers Of the SOIL
From Cancellation the Ministry suddenly reverted
% coercion. Sir Roberl Hamilton, Mr.. GladstOnc's
chief adviser, was displaced; Mr.. Dillon was
prosecuted for melting agrarian disorder; pub
bic meetings were prohibited and the suppression
of the National League was threatened. But
apparently the Ministry lack the courage requis-
lite for enforcing their rcpressiye policy. Sir
Robert Hamilton is replaced as Permanent Sec
rotary by General Butler, who by taking sides
with the tenants in rent cases has lost the con-
fidencc Of the land-holdng classes. No sooner
does the Government decide upon coercion and
campaign against the League before it recoils
from The consequences and chooses conciliatory
agent who will enforce that policy as gently as
possible. Meanwhile Mr.. Dillon and the Irish
leaders mcnaced with criminal proceedings are
challenging the Government to arrest and pros
ecute them. The Ministry arc halting between
the two policies anxious for coercion, yet afraid
to commit themselves to it.

The difficulties of obtaining fair jurors were
never greater than iu the present trial OF ex-
Alderman McQuade The law is not SO much
at fault as the men are who exaggerate the
strength of their opinions 80 as to be relieved
of the important duty of acting as jurors. There
are few men Of strong Wills who cannot say
that they believe it possible for them to lay
their opinions aside 80 Us to decide fairly on
the evidence presented in the particular case
under consideration. One juror chosen yester-
day seemed thoroughly to understand his duty,
but almost every one of the intelligent and
thoughtful business men who we're examined
confessed himself so weak of will that he
could not or would not try the issues fairly,
without regard to opinions formed on news
paper reading. On such men rests the real
responsibility If the jurors finally accepted are
of low mental or moral capacity.
