RACE PREJUDICE VS.. THE LORD MAYOR

hAGE EhEJ UU1CE fo. 1hE IUhU MAEUh.
The expressions of unpopularity which
are reported to have greeted the new Lord
Mayor of London, in his inaugural parade,
yesterday, are stated to have been about
equally due to ignorant prejudice against
his Hebrew nationality, and the disap-
proval of people Of his own race because he
disregarded the rule of his religion by
riding in a parade on the Hebrew Sabbath.
The manifestation of an ignorant and
stupid prejudice against race is so plainly
below the notice of Intelligent people that
it could be disregarded: while the presents-
ton of such a complication as that reported
with reference to the requirements of the
stricter class of the Lord Mayors religious
belief is a novel and rather puzzling ques-
tion. Whether in such a case the
rather rigid rules of his creed should
alterable customs Of the Lord Mayors
mummery. is a dilemma which few men can
solve so lightly as Henry ". did with the
conflict between his proiessed faith and his
desire to obtain the allegiance of his capital.
Kisses or plaudits from a London crowd
on Lord Mayors day cannot be regarded as
valuable expressions of public opinion.
But they may be very disagreeable; and if
yesterdays experience results in a curtaiI-
ment OF the circus-like features of the
Lord Mayors Inauguration, the municipal
government will lose nothing in dignity.

They did it. they did it all. 1t is all there is,

were mad as wet hens over the Tanner business.
They sulked in their tents. That defeated us.
The soldiers did it all! 1t was a rebuke to the
administration for turning out Tanner and re-
versing his liberal policy. This was the soldier
way of resenting it. The President sees it
clearly now. And it was not halt so emphatic

improvement of rolling stock, left the rail-
roads unable to reap the full harvest of the
present active business, and prevents ship
pers from getting the full benefit of their
prosperity.
There is, however, one point which is not
generally noticed. The fact that the cessa-
tion of lake-aud-rail shipments has brought
no relief indicates that the cars released by
that traffic are being used in carrying grain
rather than in Pittsburg shipments. Yet the
entire theory of the railways with regard to
the relation Of rates on through shipments to
those of the shorter haul is that the more
competitive traffic is only taken to supple
ment and fill out the local traffic. But now
we have the spectacle Of insufficient facili-
ties for the Pittsburg traffic. which pays an
average rate o. nearly a cent per ton per
mile, while the cars of the railroads are
being used to furnish the long haul on grain,
at little over hall that rate.
1t certainly seems good policy for the rail-
roads to give the priority to the business
which not only pays them the higher rates
but can be relied upon to furnish them the
great bulk of their net earnings.

as the Vanderbilt of the western coast Of Mex

land. His greatest successes. however, have
been in mining. He owns the rich Guadalupe

IT is regarded as an incomprehensible
thing, by the free trade papers, that the
wages of labor in the Mahoning Valley iron
furnaces should have been advanced 10 per
cent without request on their part. The
fact of On industrial system under which
the employers recognize as for their interest to
givs their men the best wages that the
market will afford, puzzles them, and the
esteemed Chicago Ne,os thinks that "the
millennium must be near at hand" As the
advance takes away the pet argument of the
free trade organs, it is possible that it does
advance the millennial era.

THE UNCERTAINTY OF WILLS.

1t is a singular example of the nncer.
tainty that attends testamentary disposi.
tions, that the general term of the Supreme
Court of New York, last week reversed the
decision of the lower court, which sustained
the bequest of the late Samuel J. Tilden for
the foundation of a free library in New
York. 1t would seem very much as If no
wills could be relied upon as certain to
stand the test of the law, if that of an astute
and successful lawyer, who made millions
and won national fame, is not above any
such contingencies. The fact that the hope
of New York for free library from the
bequest is much lessened by this decision,
should prove to men of wealth who wish to
perpetuate their memory by such noble
gifts, that the only sure way is to follow
Mr.. Carnegie's idea of making the gifts
during their lifetime.

SOLVING A KNnTTY IssnE.

Judge White thinks twelve years an inad
equate maximum of Imprisonment for MUIR
der in the second degree. This observation
from the bench merely expresses the thought
which inevitably comes into the public
mind when men who shoot down other men
without any pretext of selfdefense, escape
the capital penalty. and by the mercy OF
the jury get placed in the second class. II
is impossible to ignore what has become
virtually rule of the jury-room. There is
no doubt that however express the law may
seem to be, the fact of drunkenness at the
time of violence does count for enough to
make the average juror refuse to render a
verdicr entailing the death of the offender.
At the same time the frequency of such
murderous assaults shows that twelve years
imprisonment is a totally insufficient
measure Of prevention.
To enlarge the discretion of the Court in
such cases is the obvious remedy for q
situation which provokes interminable criti-
cism of jurors, many of whom, for their
part, experience, doubtless, an honest diff
Guilty in determining what stage of drunken
ness precludes the possibility or probability
of premeditation. If the term of imprison-
ment for the second degree be left to the
Court, or if the maximum be specifically
enlarged, frequent cause of complaint in
this class of cases will be removed.
As for Lees observation to the Court yes
terday thabso long as liquor is sold men
should not be punished for the results of ex-
cessive use of it, that would be an extremely
Jurisprudence. The suggestion of the
Judge to enlarge the power of the Court in
sentencing is, we fancy, very much more in
accord with the wishes and welfare of the
public

WASHINGTON, November 9.--At last, after
long session of furnishing and remodeling,
plastering, painting aud decorating, the old
Seward manson" is again occupied, after
being vacant for long years, and the occupant
is again Secretary Of State. Mr. Blaine
and his family sleep in their old new
home tonight, and they must have some queer
sensations as they compose themselves to
slunber, remembering the tragic Incidents Of
which it has been the scene It stands in La
fayette place, near the Department Of Justice,
and the nearest neighbor is Senator Don Cam
eron, who for long years was supposed TO be a
most serious obstacle to the nomination of Mr..
Blaine for the Presidency The dwelling was
the old club house from whose window Burton
s. Key was wont to signal Mrs. General
Sickles across Lafayette Park and it
was almost in front Of it that General Sickles
shot Key to death after waiting long time for
his appearance. IN the very room now occu-
pied by the brilliant Secretary of State that
other great Secretary of State Of the most
thrilling and tragic days of Americas history
was attacked while lying i'll in bed by the assas-

1t has seemed to everybody strange choice
for Mr.. Blaine to make of dwelling in which
to pass the late days Of his public life but it is
comfortable, has pleasing outlook on grand
old elm trees, MOWERS and shrubbery and has
that plain, quaint old-fashioned exterior, which
is pleasing, no matter what violence it
does to the principles of architect

larged to admit more sunlight The
rooms have been changed with a view to more
pretentious entertainments than were in vogue
in its palmy days and the decorations are in
sympathy with modern esthetics. To the right OF
the entrance is reception room with walls of
pale blue and window decoration of dull yell
low. TO the left is another large room whose
ceiling is paneled with polished mahogany
and the walls tinted warm har-
monious color. The chambers are es-
thetically decorated, and nearly all of
the furniture is antique, some of the pieces
bong quite rare and valuable. Many objects Of
art purchased abroad are scattered about, and
the only lack is the presence OF fine oil paintings

the sole pictorial adornment, being quite in

The family is composed at present of the
Secretary and Mrs. Blame, Mr.. Walker Blaine
and the two daughters, Misses Margaret and
Harriet. 1t is said the Secretary and Mrs.

CAR SHORTAGE AND RAILROAD POLICY

Reports continue to come in that the
shortage Of cars for the shipment of Pitts
burg's staples has been aggravated, rather
than decreased, by the close of navigation.
In the coke region it is stated that the short
age last week was 900 cars
The failure is said to be as largely in the
insuhciency of motive power as of cars; and
while variety of explanations is given,
there is little doubt that the most adequate
is that of the Philadelphia Ledger. that the
railways were misled by the predictions of
inactive business. and made no more than
ordinary provisions for period of probable
dullness in trade" In other words, the

CANADA is now getting aroused, ard has
started a movement to catch the South
American trade by starting a line of
steamers between Canadian ports and the
West Indies. This is quite natural and if
the Canadians have anything to sell that the
South. Americans want, she will probably
get her share of the trade. But our North
ern neighbors should understand that the
surest way to share in the advantages of the
American commercial alliance is to come
in out Of the cold and join the United
States.

Chicago was moving slowly down stream from
the navy yard. with her own power, at the time,
and the tug was carrying the float diagonally
up stream. across the man-of-war's bow. When
about four lengths apart both pilots saw the
danger, and warning bells were rung and both
helms put down hard to port. By prompt ac-
tion disastrous collision was averted, but it
was impossible to keep the vessels from coming
in contact. When they came together the
headway was very much reduced. The port

Then it was seen that the only damage was to

Chicago was hardly scratched, and proceeded
to her anchorage in the North river without
