dealing. These ideas are both patriotic and
reasonable. He holds that it will be equally
advantageous for the Irish people and for
American public life if this race vote, which
until 1884 was solidly Democratic, can be d.
,ided between the parties. That is undoubtedly
true. One Of the best results Of the campaign
Of 1884 was the division Of the Irish vote, and
merely as a question Of abstract politics it IS
most desirable that the revolt begun then should
spread and widen during the present canvass
When so influential an Irish leader as MIR. Fora

and moderation and points to Mr.. Blaine as the
candidate who can gain the largest number OF

DR. STORRS IN OFFICE.

The amendment by Mayor Chaplin, OF Brook
lvn of the Rev. Dr. R. S. Stors as Park Com
missioner and the distinguished clergyman's ac-
ceptance Of the Office are an encouraging sign
of the times Mr.. Chaplin is to be con gratuiaoeo
on securing the consent Of the Kew. Dr. han 10

DIR. Storrs to act as member OF the PARK Oom-
mission. That these gentlemen are willing TO
devote the necessary time and attention to OH
cial duties betokens degree of interest in pub
lie affairs and desire to perform to the full the
duties entailed by citizenship that cannot Duo
command universal interest and commendation'
DR.. Storrs's action, which must involve no III
lie personal sacrifice, deserves the warmest
praise. OF his qualifications for the Office there

NV and HIGH attainments on this important

bids showing the warmth of the popular en-

Mayor from hunting down bad official who Is
so wicked as to refuse his support to the Mayor
Nothing prevents his employing Macchiaveliian

But the ex-Mayor Is mistaken in declaring that
"results interest the public, not motives" Mo-
tiyes are Of the highest concern to an inteiii-
gent people sometimes. and his motives have
been pretty well disclosed.
The memorial addressed by Mayor Hewitt and
his Cabinet to the Legislature urging that the
Fassctt bill be passed removing Aqueduct Com
missioners Ridgway, Barnes and Fish. and re-
placing the Mayor and the Controller on the
Commission, would be more effective were 1t &C
curate in its statements of fact. There are rea-
sons enough why these two officials should be
members of the Commission without presenting
others not supported by the facts. In deciar-
ing that "no imputation was ever made ON the
integrity or the sound Judgment of the orig
inal Commission, and that since its reconstruc-
ton scandals have arisen" and politics are
supposed 10 have entered into its decisions" the
Mayor and his Cabinet are singularly regardless
of the circumstance that all the scandals thus
far proved were accomplished by Hill, Muller
and O'Brien before the Commission was reor-
ganized in 1885. The acts of the present Com
mission have not yet been subjected to scru-
tiny. But this does not render the letter Of Mr.
Ridgway, replying to the memorial, any the
less irrelevant and offensive. Instead OF pre-
senting reasons, if he has any, why from his
point Of view the Legislature should retain him
in his place, he takes it upon himself to show
why the Mayor should not be restored. lie is
altogether beside the question. There is nc
call for his opinion as to what the Mayor has OF
has not time to do. 1t would serve his pur-
pose much better to show what claims ne hini-
self has to public confidence and place.

WOMEN And THE CONFERENCE.

The decision of the General Conference OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church on the highly
significant and extremely delicate subject OF the
relation Of women toward that body seems TO
have been reached in spirit of wisdom ana
charity. The question was primarily legal
one and product of the last great change in
polity made by the Church about two decades
ago. Lay delegation is an accomplished fact
and in the light Of that fact the ultimate out
come of the agitation which was only slmu-
lated, not silenced by yesterdays vote can be
foreseen without much difficulty. In fact, the
problem cannot honestly be said to be far
from solution now. With the privilege OF
voting in the Quarterly and Electoral Con-
ferences 0he sources Of authority OF
the lay delegates in the General Confer
ence) il ought not to be difficult for the
women to gain for themselves the privilege
which is now denied to them. They consti-
tute two-thirds of the Church. Their repre-
sentatives in the General Conference have
powerful instrument in the system of procedure
which enables them to compel vote by Or
ders,n and practically gives them equal powers
with the ministerial delegates, though numeri-
cally inferior. This instrument could be used,
y,
many believe now to be necessary corollary
of lay delegation. If women are not in the
Methodist Episcopal General Conferences be-
fore many quadrenniums have passed it will be
because an overwhelming number of them do
not want women to be there.
The manner in which the Conference met and
disposed of the question was in the highest de-
gree admirable. From the outset but one wish
inspired the speakers-the wish for full and
frank discussion. The matter was brought be-
fore the Conference in an ingenious manner by
the Bishops. We are much inclined to think
though the plan was wise and discreet in view
of the nicely of somo of the points of law In
volyed that the women were entitled to theil
seats from the beginning till the vote was an
nounced, but in view of the ultimate decision
the possible breach of parliamentary decorum
can have no harmful results. There were foui
protests against the plan, and the only valid one
came from delegate who afterward showed
that he believed the law was against the women
and whose chief anxiety seemed to be to uphold
well-grounded reputation as parliamenta-
rian. If DR.. Nicely could not make the preSid-
ing Bishop agree with his conception Of the par
liamentary rights of the women he at least had
the satisfaction of bringing majority OF the
Conference to his way Of thinking as to the mos
feasible solution Of the difficulty. The law
was with him and those who argued from his
point of view. 1t was cold, hard, unchivalrlc
law, but law nevertheless; the law of the stat
ute book construed in the light of the Church's
history. With the result, we have no doubt
the great body of the Church will be satisfied
though there may be some regret that there is
no provision to submit the question of woman's
eligibility to the sufrages Of all the members OF
the Church. as was done in the case of lay dele
gates.

WHAT DEMOCRACY Is.

II does not please Senator Voorhees, to be
reminded that he was at heart a traitor to his
country when the Republic was in peril. Men
of his stamp are apt to feel that their honor
is affected, not by the doing of shameful things,
but by the unkindness of anybody who calls
attention to them. So he broke out in the
Senate after fashion which justified Senator
Ingalls's observation that If that were police
court Mr.. Voorhees, would be sent to the rock
pile for being drunk and disorderly. The In
diana copperhead cannot plead any temporary
alteration Of mind for his reasonable CORE
spondence during the war, nor for his partici-
patton in conspiracies hostile to the Govern
ment. II hurts him to have the facts remem-
bered, but he NAV rest assured that any Con-
federate soldier who fought manfully for a
cause he had been taught to think honest Will be
forgiven many long years sooner than the North
ern politician who acted as the treacherous
ally Of rebels in arms.
1t is getting to be time that the question
should be asked why such men as Mr.. voorhees,
are thrust forward. as the chosen and most
highly honored representatives OF party
which pretends 10 be thoroughly loyal. The
history OF Voorhees, Is not now made public for
the first time. 1t was familiar to loyal men
when some who are now voters were not yet
born. Is that the explanation Are the loyal
sons of loyal fathers so ignorant Of all the past
that they select this Indiana demagogue as their
