SEND BAYARD HIS PASSPORTS.

The President promised to favor the country
with phenomenal display of courage The
belated dismissal of Lord Sackville does not
impress one of the stanchest supporters OF the
Administration as an exhibition of this char
acter. "The New-York Herald" declares that
the President has made mistake in permitting
his Secretary of State to buster and make
mouths at the British Minister as though he
was a schoolb0y." 1t severely censures the
Administration for lack of decorum and dig
nity in dealing with this transaction, and
savagey assails Secretary Bayard for scan
dalously forgetting (" all the responsibilities and
decencies of his position" 1t implores the
President to dismiss the incapable and hys-
terical" adviser who has brought American
diplomacy into disrepute. 1t closes an exceed
ingly vigorous article on the Sackyille episode
with these striking remarks:
We respectfully urge Mr. Cleveland to get himself
new Secretary of State without delay. Mr.. Bayard
has, 1t seems crowned his absufJircs by schdlhs
Lord sackvillc his passports though the British
Minister was likely be detained in the harbor unless
he could show them Give Mr.. Bayard his passports
TO Delaware, Mr. Cleveland. You can't afford to have
such an incompetent and hystercky person as your
adviser II you retain him he will. before you know
II, make you ridiculous IN Inc lace OF inc "hoic "ou
Or If you must keep him, don't take his advice on any
subject except terrapin.
The enforced retirement of Secretary Bayard
would mean something If he had been forced
to leave the State Department Immediately
after the rejection of the Fisheries Treaty the
country would not have pronounced the Re
talation Message political trick. So long as
the control of foreign affairs remained in his
hands it was manifest that there had not been
an abandonment of diplomacy of the Bayard
type If the fisheries policy of the Administra-
ton had been reversed and retaliation measures
adopted in good faith, the member of the Cab
met who had been personally responsible for
long series of pusillanimous compromises and
surrenders would have be IN expelled.
Logic that was good in the middle Of August
is good for the week before election Lord
Sackville has been dismissed, but the Score
tary, who was his dupe and who intrigued with
Sir Charles Upper in the interest Of Canada,
remains in power. While he is in office such
shameful correspondence respecting the rights
of Americans abroad as was printed in yes
terday's TRIBUNE will be Systematically con-
| Quoted While he is Secretary Of State Ameri-
can diplomacy will be directed without dignity
frmness or force, and will be discreditable to
the country BY all means let the President
send Mr. Bayard his passports to Delaware. p

SHUT THE SALOONS ON ELECTION DAY.

SHUT THE SALOONS ON ELECTION DAY.
The police could do the greatest possible
service to the cause Of honest elections this
year by enforcing to the letter the Excise law
which forbids the opening of any bar-roOm
within quarter of a mile OF any polling place
during the hours of voting on Election Day
This law has not been enforced in this town
with any vigilance and vigor for many years.
In the downtown wards, and also in some other
parts of the city, the corner groggerieS near the
polling-placeS are centres of bribery, corruption
and fraud. In these dram-shops the agents and
emissaries of the Democratic party buy votes
with the men who use money to secure votes
to employ ward heeers to sound the purchas-
able voters in advance, to make a bargain with
them, to accompany them to the polls to see to it
that the votes which have been contracted for
are actually put in the boxes, and then to 90
with the corrupt voters to the nearest grogger-
les where the two dollars, or five dollars, or ten
dollars, or whatever is the amount promised,
NAV be paid over to the wretch who has sold
his suffrage.
The police can seal tightly the doors of every
bar-room in the city within quarter Of a mile
Of a polling place, and that would include al
most every one below the Harlem River for
the population is so dense and the polling
nlaces are so near to each other that the rigid
enforcement Of this law as it should be en-
forced. without fear or favor, would practically
shut them all up. With the bar-rooms closed
! the scoundrel who buys votes and the voter who

The Parnell Commission inquiry was en-
livened yesterday by the testimony OF Captain
O'Shea. and two interesting episodes occurred.
The witness testified that many of his mem
orandums in regard to the Kilmainham jail
negotiations were destroyed in 1888 on the
suggestion of Sir William Harcourt, who told
him that Mr.. Gladstone advised this course.
A Parliamentary inquiry regarding the matter
was at that time imminent. Captain OShea
also examined several of the alleged forged
letters, and unhesitatingy pronounced the sig
nature that of Mr. Parnel. The reason for the
breach between Parnell and O'Shea was not
inquired into, but the witness said that previous
to June, 1886, he believed in MIR. ParnelFs

Some fanatical and not well-lnformed fro-
hibition campaign orators have been charging
that Warner Miller in advocating High
License law, is false to the principles which
should animate him as member of the Meth
odst Church. Such statements probably carry
no weight, but a conclusive answer to them was
furnished yesterday when Bishop Andrews, the
resident Methodist Bishop in this city, sat upon
the platform from which Mr.. Miller spoke and
gave the fullest evidence of his approval OF the
Republican candidates utterances

A fact of deep interest to the people Oh 'h's
city was made known by Chlef-Lngineer
Church yesterday at the meeting OF the Aque-
duct Commissioners. He says that the prob
able date of the completion of the new Aque-
duct to connect with the old mains in Tenth
ave. is July of next year, and that connection
with the Central Park Reservoir is likely to be
made by the end of 1889. The maximum sup
nly of water is estimated at 318,00O,OOO gal

The Republican candidate for Congress in the
XXth New-Yor1 District is Mr.. John Sanford, OF
Amsterdam lie has made good canvass, and
he will make good Congressman. Graduated
from Yale College in 1872, trained since then
in one of the great manufacturing industries 10
which the district owes much of its prosperity,
he brings to the consideration of pubic qucs-
tons well disciplined mind and wide practlcai
knowledge His Democratic opponent, Judge
O. s. Westbrook, who is particularly Jealous IN
the service of Governor Hill, and whose canvass
is being stimulated in return by some OF the
saloon DOODLE is an ardent admirer Of the Presi-
dents Free Trade Message, and there ought to
he no difficulty in convincing the voters that
he is not fit to represent district for which the
American system of Protection has done so much.
Mr.. Sanford is not only above reproach IN every
relation of life, but he is man of force and
of convictions, particularly well qualified for
public service, and sure to make his mark, II
elected, as faithful and useful member OF the
House.

THE FIRE WAS INCENDIARY.
State Conventions.

1t would not be bad idea to have all
State Conventions held at one fixed point
central in its location and easy of access
from all sections of the State. If such a
place be the Capital it is all the more ap-
propriate. When we have Sacramento so
centrally situated geographically, and SO
convenient to the great bulk of our popUla-
ton, ana with railroads radiating to every
part of the State, it is difficult to see from a
common-sense standpoint why conven-
ton should ever be held elsewhere. This
thing of hippodroming around the State
with conventions is prolific of abuses, of
trades, of jobs and small beer politics. AS
long as the practice is followed vital mat
tiers will be sacrificed to the interests of no.
tel and saloon keepers and the schemes of
professional politicians, who will not scru-
pie to trade principle for county office
The claim that it benefits the party" is
not valid one, for the other party does
the same thing and the effect is thus neu-
trallZed. Besides, II is sorry compliment
to the intelligence of citizens to assert that
they will vote ticket simply because
the Convention which nominated it was
held in their town. 1t does not matter
where the convention is HELD if the
principles enunciated in the platform be
sound and the candidates clean and able.
These requisites are often likely to be miss
ing when, through trades and bargains, the
Convention is held in some locality far re-
moved from the centers of population.
Holders of proxies are likely to constitute
a great proportion of the personnel of the
delegations, and proxy" Convention
has way OF shutting out rather poor ma
terial when beyond the pressure of public
opinion. If the Convention were held at
some fixed point. party jobbers and traf-
tickers would be deprived of great
of capital, and the rank and file
would have tairer show in the makeup
of tickets. These remarks do not apply to
National Conventions, for the reason that
only two candidates are nominated, and
party policy is usually settled in advance,
in State Conventions Governors,
Congr essmen, and many other officers are
nominated, and delegates to National Con-
ventions elected. If one party were to stop
having its Convention travel around like a
circus, the other would.soon follow the ex-
r. Alta.
