material welfare of the city, county
and state, and to this end We invite the
hearty cooperation of all.

Editor Tomlinson, of the Topeka
Democrat, advises the spawned, ring
boned and wind-broken party leaders
to stand back and watch the young
democratic colts prance around the
track this fall in the state of Kansas.
Even the ring-master must be downy
faced youth. The Wichita Beacon
seconds the motion. But it is tough
on some of the old warehouses to have
to give up the idea of ever feeding out
of the public crib. Trot out the kids,
it is better to kill them off when young
they are more innocent and will have
less to answer for.

to give employment and home markets

wise and judicious course of the Re-
publican party in the last quarter of a
century, with their so-called protection
tarlffism. Darkness has been made
light, all educational interests have re-
ceived careful and faithful attention,
and first-class literature now adorns
the tables of the family circle, where
the bottle of ''Old Rye held sway in
the ''good old days." as the present
members of the Democrat party style
it. Another ism of the Republican
party, an intellectualism that lifts the
human mind to higher, nobler, and
more useful channels. AbOlitionism
elevated from slavery to manhood and
wOmanhOOd over three millions of be-
ings, and wiped away the humiliating
stain that, like the brand of Cain, was
foul, cankerous blot across the brow
of the Goddess of Liberty-that mark
that Inundated and caused her name
to be ridiculed and jeered by foreign
nations. 1t was an ism that finished
the good work laid out by our fore
fathers, when they declared all men
created equal it was an ism that not
only caused the stars and stripes to
float proudly over an entire free people,
but it lifted the stripes from human
backs and gave them star of hope, of
future happiness, and threw the rays
of that bright halo of knowing and feel
ing that they were their own sovereigns,
about them. Such isms were a proud
banner to enlist under, and prove that
progression, liberty, dare to do right,
and true nobility, are the cardinal
virtues of our party.

PLIPPANOY,

Mayor HEWITT seeks to justify his obstruc-
ton to the burying of the electric wires
by sueering at the idea of danger" to
human life from the electric current.
He ind that only two deaths have oc-
CURED from loose wires, one on East
Broadway and one On the Bowery,
and that the other fatalities were only in the
cases Of " liuemen." The Mayor forgets the
death that occurred outside the window Of a
Broadway store, probably because the victim
was - only a lineman." But any inmate of
the building. il he had touched the wire,
would have been instantly killed.
"Of course, if one of those wires strikes q
person he is q gone coon," says the Mayor,
land I don'tspropose to have any charges of
manslaughter brought against me-" Seri.
ously. we ask Mr.. HEWITT if this is a prope,
treatment of such a serious subject by an in.
telligent and humane man.

ENFORCE THE LAW.

Some spectators and scalpers of the Prod
uce Exchange are making an effort to
nulfify the peoples Saturday Half-Holiday
Law. Last year the Exchange adopted a
resolution to close at noon on Saturdays.
This year 1t is proposed to change the rule
10 as to enable the Exchange to keep open
on Saturdays as on any other day.
We publish to-day the views of som of the
bsst mon on the Exchange, who express the
opinion that the Saturday half holiday is q
positive advantage to its members and to its
business, and avow their opposition to the
proposed new rule. 1t is to be hoped they
will defeat 1t. If not, as the Exchange holds
Q charter from the State, it should be forced
10 obey the law, which the Governor has re-
solved shall be fairly tested before being

Mayor MURPHY, of Troy, as Chairman of the

The Troy Press, Mr., MURPHY's organ, bitterly
assails d. CADY HERRIoK, the successor in
the Albany leadership, who was Mr..
MuRPHr's opponent, and charges him with
treacherously plotting against Gov. HILL.
The Press alleges that Mr.. HERRIoK's per-
sonal cause Of anger against the Governor is
the ~latter's refusal to appoint the Albany
leader to o vacant Supreme Court Judgeship,
and says that Mr.. HERRIcK has done more
+" to injure the prospects of the National Ad'
ministration in Albany County than any Re

That TARIFF ON ART.

The Growing strength Of the Feeling that
II Must Not Be Retained.
There is a unanimity almost without paral-
lei in the opposition to that change in the
Mills Tariff Bill which proposes to retain the
duty on imported works of art.
Not alone in New York art circles is the
question being discussed and agitated.
All over the country is heard the negative
of the proposition, while the affirmative is too
weak for hearing.
If works of art are indeed luxuries, as is
speciously claimed by those who favor the
retention of the duty, they are such Injuries
as the people of all classes can enjoy through
the public galleries. Where, then, is the
logic or justice of a tax which is almost pro-
hibitory, which yet yields 40 apprecrable rev.
enue to au already too-rich government, and
which acts against the object of all right tax
ation-the public good?
This is the question met on every side.
With it is met the declaration that the tax
must go.
Supt. James McAllister. of the Philadelphia
public schools, has added his voice to those
opposing the tax from an educational stand
point. ut will be the greatest mistake the
Government can make" said he, mot to put
art ON the free list. 1t is the d%emagogue alone
who says art is q luxury. Throw the doors
wide open to art"
