THE Y1C4yCJEs IN TIE SENATE.

There are two vacancies in the Senate OF
this State, one caused by the resignation Of
Edward F. Reilly, of the With District, and
the other by the death of Henry r. Low, OF the
XIIIth District. The With District is over
whelmngly Democratic, Mr.. Reilly having
been elected by plurality of over 10000.
The XIIlth District on the contrary, is re-
garded as debatable field Since 1884 it has
been represented by a Republican, but Dem
ocrat represented it in 1928, and it is EVIL
dent from the tone Of the Democratic press
that Governor Hills friends are going to make
a desperate effort to capture it this year.
Apart from general party considerations
there is an urgent reason why Mr.. Low should
be succeeded by a Republican. Before his
death the Senate contained 2 Republicans and
IL Democrats. In order to pass bill over the
Governors veto 21 Republicans and one Dem
ocrat will have to unite to secure the two
thirds vote required by the Constitution. 1t
is possible that The success Of High License or
Of Ballot Reform or of some other measure OF
large public Importance may depend upon such
a vote. TO state this fact is TO demonstrate
the unusual importance Of the approaching
special election in the Orange-Sulivan District.
1t is to be expected that the Republican COM
mttees of those counties, which gave such a
good account Of themselves in the Presidential
campaign, will again rally to secure the polling
of the full party vote for Senator If that is
DONE and the Republican candidate is strong,
popular, worthy to succeed Mr.. Low, there
need be no fear of losing the district. Both
Orange and Sullivan gave plurality for Cen
eral Harrison, and if proper efforts are made
there will be no falling off in the Republican
vote for Senator
Ordinarily, it is almost impossible to secure
n full vote at special election But in the
circumstances in view of what is involved in
the Senatorship, it ought not to be difficult.
We expect to see the Republicans OF the XIlIth
District do their whole duty.

1.-THE FAME OF MR. CLEVELAND.n


1t is, we are told, characteristic of sewer
rats to sniff at the open air of heaven as foul
and vitiated. They become so accustomed to
the gloom and the reek that whatever is pure
and bright is actually offensive to them. On
some similar principle alone can be Interpreted
the outburst in the leading article of yester-
days "New- York Times'' Oem) Happily
for the country" it said, the fame of Mr.
Cleveland does not depend upon the record of
the Republican organs" Even in a sheel like
"The TimeSp such a remark is extraordinary
Since 81 the fame of Mr.. Cleveland is an OBJ
ject of such sOlicitude to his partisan followers
let us see what il must be if it depends upon
the record Of the Democratic organs. 1t was
"The New-York Times" (Dem.) which, when
Mr.. Cleveland was Governor of this State,
denounced him as a ''parochial statesman"
and a every low-priced statesman" charged
him with being willing to swindle the archi
iects of the Capitol" characterized his con-
duct as cheap and scurvy," and announced
that people will give up their faith" in his
honest intentions" 1t was this same New
York Times" (Dem.) which, after five years
further acquaintance with Mr. Cleveland, at
tributed his defeat last month to a widespread
popular belief in the indeScribable yilencss Of
his private life There was made against him,
said "The Times" "a charge of indecency and
brutality so gross as to deter any except the
most malevoent or vulgar from repetition Of
it," Whether "The Times" meant to set it.
self down as malevolent, or vulgar or both.
is not apparent; but certainly the grossness of
the charge did not deter that paper from ex-
plotting it in all it's loathsome details to the
extent of more than column, and in its Sun
day edition, tool
But as to the origin Of these nameless in
fames, with an account Of which no paper but
"The Newly FORK Times" (Dem.) was willing
to suly its pages? "The Times" itself gives

DEMOCRATS who had become bitterly hostile 10 the
President. very obscure but temporarily
CONSPICUOUS DEMOCRAT entered upon the doubly
congenial business of pronulgatlng these atrOcous
stories and booming Governor Hill. When
the NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE set up

recorded by his own party and as sounded
abroad by such thicll-and-thin Democratic
organ as "The New-Yorl Times" Yet that
same sheet spews its venom at the Republican
press-which has, for the sake of Americas
good name, suppressed in sorrowfu silence
these Democratic lbes upon the President

The most important action taken yesterday
by the Commission that is engaged in prepar-
ing new Excise law was the adoption Of a
resolution providing for classification Of Ii
censes 1t was decided to have two classes
one covering the sale of all kinds Of liquors, and
the other covering ale wines and beer only.
This is substantially the distinction made in
the High-License laws recently passed In this
State One member of the Commission thought
that no difference should be made between the
man who sells both whiskey and beer and the
man who sells beer only. That is obviously
mistaken view. 1t is notorious that distilled
liquors are much more harmful than fermented
liquors, and the license fee for the one should
in reason be far larger than for the other.
All lovers Of trees must be made glad by
the report of Professor Northrop, of Connect
cut, TO the Forestry Congress that thirty-one
States and Territories now observe Arbor Day.
The recommendation that the day should not
be rendered rksome by being made a legal
holiday is wise. The custom Of setting apart
a day on which to plant trees is an excellent
one but the best way to accomplish the desired
result is not TO make the practice compulsory.
There is good authority for the statement that
the man does part OF his duty who plants a
tree. The same may be said Of him who pre-
serves one. Such gathering as the Forestry
Congress- which closed its sessions yesterday,
must give powerful stimulus to the perform
ance of this duty.
The progress which "The Times" has been
making with it's case before the Panell Com
mission may be satisfactory to- "The Times"
but it can hardly be satisfactory to the friends
of that journal who are not on the inside"
The Molloy episode of yesterday is likely to
make "The Tines laughing stocks and it
rsAuires powerful cause indeed to stand ridi-

 We present herewith front and side views of the immense hall in St. Louis in which the coming Democratic national convention is to be held. All accounts agree that St. Louis is exerting herself as never before, and men of all parties are contributing tiberaly, the intention being to make the occasion great Mississippi valley festival rather than an exclusively Democratic gathering. The hall IS the north nave of the great exposition build ing, cut off from the rest of the structure by temporary partitions; it stretches all the way from Thirteenth street to Four teenth street, east and west. and is 300 feet long and 100 feet wide, but only 285 by 07 e'in the clear as the architect says. This vast space has been most skillfully utilized by the committee, and there will be seats for 10, 900 persons.

Gentleness of Abraham Lincoln.

Mir. Lincoln was one of the bravest men that ever lived and one of the gen. tlest. The instances in his earlier career in which he puts his life or his body in peril to prevent injury to another are very numerous. I have often thought that his interposition in behalf of the friendless Indian, who wandered into camp during the Black Hawk war and was about to be murdered by the troops. was an act of chivalry unsurpassed in the whole story of knighthood. So in the rough days of Gentryville and New salem he was always on the side of the weak and the undefended; always dar- lngly against the bully; always brave. tender, and always invoking peace and good will, except where they could be had only by dishonor.
 He could not endure to witness the needless suffering even of brute. When riding once with company of young ladies and gentlemen, dressed up in his and their best, he sprang from his horse and covered himself with filth to release pig, which was fast in a fence and squealing in pain, because, as he said in his homely way, the misery of the poor. pig was more than herocould bear.- Ward H. Lamon in Philadelphia Times.
