PARTLY CONFIDENTIAL

The alarm that spread along the Demo
cratic lines a week ago owing to the un-
fortunate party wrangles in New York
has been very much Quoted since the
great Metropolis felt the criticisms Of the
"Provincial Press" Here are lot of
"Halls organized to get political infu-
ence and offices, and when the entire
country is awakened 10 the necessity of
reforming the abuses of the Radical party
the Halls proprose to subordinate
about GOOOO,00O, people to their own
sweet will merely because Hill or
Hewitt or Grant are more impor-
tant than the welfare of
thirty-seven other States. These people
overlook The fact that if they give away
or sell out their party they may suffer
the consequences of party treason by a
IDEAL" more deadly than any they con-
template.
If the Southern people are laid at the
feet Of the Radicals with the prospect of
carpet bag rule and the chance of seeing
their civilization snuffed out they will
naturally conclude that If 1913 electoral
votes are to be sold out by 3G, con-
trolled by conspiracy, then they
will be forced to seek safety somewhere
else than in the camp of party ruled by
such elements that discard and sacrifice
the captain ia order to steal the rati0ns
These are plain words, but they are true
and there is no better time than now &c
utter them. We stated that 1t was pos
sIble TO win the election without New
York, and perhaps Mr.. Cleveland looked
over the field well and calculated all th'
chances in the Western States. The ef
forts that have been made there indicat,
that the party managers are fighting thu
battle on different line from the old ont
which was the Solid South, New York
New Jersey and Connecticut and
chance OF Indiana.
We fully appreciate the manner il
which the Democrats Of the North have
stood by the rights of the South, and VI
do not mean to say that Virginia or al
of the Southern States would consent t
any political regime that was not Demo
cratic.
But we do mean that one inevitabl
consequence OF Ben. Harrison's election
owing to deal and conspiracy in th
Democratic State Of New York. woul'
be to demoralize the Democratic party il
the South, and that in case the Republi
cans should put up a conservative ant
patriotic man the next time, who woul'
call of the hounds, the Solid South ant
Its 1853 votes would be gone.
These are things often whispered. Blu
we do not think 1t unwise to state then
publicly and TO implore our Northern
brethren to take notice that great part
and the biggest half Of II cannot be give
away on New York Hall"

Germany seems to have undertaken to
manage the affairs of Samoa by taking
the part of one of the two kings who are
al petty war with each other. The pro-
tege Of Germany, however, has been
worsted, and though the great Empire
had declared war personally" against
the other king, the difficulty now is
whether the young warrior Emperor will
undertake his first soldier business on
such a small scale.

General Pavey, a distinguished Repub'
lican Of Illinois, confesses that his State
is likely to go Democratic. The horrible
tyranny cf prohibition in Iowa has piled
up an increasing Democratic power in
that State, and Michigan and Minnesota

publicans.
Altogether, it looks it looks as If the
Republicans are likely TO be surprised

CORNERS AND THE PRICE OF BREAD.-
Mr.. Depew said on Wednesday in Chi
cago that the corners that have been
manipulated in that city had done more
injury to the American farmer than the
trusts and monopolies which have been
so roundly berated. The famous Keene
corner in 1881 forced prices so high that
the English became thoroughly aroused,
and 20,000 miles Of railroad were built in
India. every mile of which opened up
100000 acres of wheat land. Transpor-
tation facilities in Russia, Egypt and
other parts of the world were greatly
improved, the result being that America
could no longer dictate The price of bread
in the markets of the world. The recent
corner in Chicago, continued Mr.. De-
pew, Is having, and will continue 70
have, a disastrous effect Exchange.

Brooklyn must overcome seventy thous-

Cleveland All that is necessary is for
every man to put his shoulder to the
wheel. and it can be done with twenty
thousand to spare. Because one man
insists on being a crank or marplot that
is no reason why the good citizens Of
New York should join in his folly or
something worse. The great probability
is tina, Mr.. Clevt land will have sufficient
electoral votes 20 elect him without that

CITY then occupy in The eyes OF the coun-
try? II man is crank you cannot

enough to vote that we shall no longer
have crank at the head of this municipal
government. and trust, out Of respect
to that grand old man, Peter Cooper, for
no other reason, he will not attempt to
trade votes off against the national
ticket

"No Admiration too Profound"


The late DR.. Prime, in copying the follow
ing words Of Bryant, said of this passage
in the value of its testimony, in the beauty
of its expression, and its evangelical spirit
it was never excslled in the same number OF
lines by any uninspired man:
"This character, of which Christ was the
perfect model, is in itself so attractive, so
altogether lovely that cannot describe in
language the admiration with which regard
it; nor can / express the gratitude l feel for
the dispensation which bestowed that exam
pie on mankind, for the truths which lie
taught and the sufferings he endured for our
sakes. I tremble to think what the world
would be without Him. Take. away the
blessing of the advent of his life and the
blessings purchased by his death, in what an
abyss Of guilt would man have been left! 1t
would seem to be b!otting the sun out Of the
heavens-to leave our system OF worlds in
chaos, frost and darkness.
"In my view OF the life, the teachings, the
labors, and the sufferings Of the blessed
Jesus, there can be no admiration too pro-
found, no love Of which the human heart is
capable, too warm, no gratitude too earnest
and deep Of which He is justly the object. 1t
is with sorrow that my love for Him is so
cold, and my gratitude so inadequate. 1t is
with sorrow that I see ary attempt to put
aside His teachings as delusion, to turn
mems eyes from his example, to meet with
doubt and denial the story Of his life. For
my part, if I thought that tie religion of
skepticism were to gather strength and pre-
vail and become the dominant view Of man.
kind, should despair Of the fate Of man
kind in the years that are to come"
