SENATOR SHERMANS ENTHUSIASM.

The most remarkable speech to which the
South American delegates have listened since
they applauded Secretary Blaine's statesman
like address of welcome was delivered in
Cleveland by the chairman of the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs. Senator Shermans
oratory is ordinarily characterized by lucdity
of exposition and breadth OF view rather than
by fervor and enthusiasm; but on this occasion
he spoke as Henry Clay was always inspired to
do when magnificent conception Of National
greatness and continental federation appealed
10 his imagination. There was not trace Of
his usual caution and reserve in his sanguine
forecast Of the benefcent results which are
likely to follow this memorable international
Conference With unwonted warmth he de-
clarcd that the United States is prepared with
out division Of party or section to do It's full
duty and bring about the sisterhood of the
American States. The International Congress-
he predicted. would Outrank all other diplO-
matte bodies in ancient or modern times, if it
ACCOMPLISHED the grand objects Of peaceful
arbitration of national controversies the aban-
donment of armamentS and standing armies
the development Of American industry and
trades, and the promotion, not only oi com
mercial union but also OF union OF hearts
on this continent In final outburst Of en-
thusiasm he assumed the practicabilty Of build
ing railway from the United States to Pata-
gonia and of completing an interoceanic canal,
and announced that he was almost inclined to
be a convert to free trade if it's benefits could
| be confined to all American States.
When a statesman of Senator Sherman's con-
servatve instincts gives free rein to his en-
thusasm over the prospect of the establishment
of a commercial league on continental lines,
the time has surely come for leaders and men
of all parties and sections to take an active in
terest in the work of this amphictyOnic cOun-
Gil. Happily, the circumstances in which the
delegates have assembled preclude partisan
criticism of the policy which is to be carried
into effect A Democratic House of Repre-
sentatives united with "A Republican Senate in
the preliminary legislation which sanctioned
the invitations to the various Governments tC
send representatives TO Washington. Presi-
dent Cleveland gave his approval to the bill
the provisions Of which have been faithfully

THE oRANGE-SULLIVAN SENATORSHIP.

The Republicans Of the XIITth District have
nominated William p. Richardson, Of Goshen
for the Senate. 1t is an excellent selection
The fact that it was made by acclamation at
tests the strength and popularity of Mr.. Rich
ardson and the unity and harmony Of our party
in Orange and Sullivan. The candidate is a
worthy representative of the important agri-
culturaI interests of the district. man of
irreproachable character and Of sturdy common
sense familiar with the wishes of his consit-
uents concerning public affairs, and in thor
ouch sympathy with the majority Of the last
Legislature in their efforts in behalf of pure
ballot and other reforms, his election is greatly
to be desired, for it would be in the interest
Of wise and wholesome legislation
In concluding his vigorous speech accepting
tbe nomination, Mr.. Richardson urged the
members Of the convention to 60 out and work
with a determination to win. 1t was good
niece Of advice to take. The Republicans of
tbe rest of the State will follow the canvass
in this district with no little interest. 1t ia
onA of the close districts which can be won
from the Democrats if the proper effort is
made. Why not? Henry r. Low carried it
in 1888 and 1885, and it gave General Har-
rison 5l2 plurality. These facts are full of
encouragement. They prove that there are
sufficient votes in Orange and Sullivan to send
Mr.. Richardson to the Senate. The election
of last January to fill the vacancy occasioned
by Mr. Lows death was lost by the Republicans
simply because as a whole they failed to take
a lively interest in it,
1t is to be expected that no mistake will be
made this time. We want a two-third vote in
the Senate Of l890'91 to the end that Gov

rop carries ON BROADWAY.

Tho broadway and Seventh Avenue Railroad
Companv has followed the example, though not
the methods. of the Third Avenue Company
in making application for authority to SubSu-
tuta cables for horses as a motive power. The
Third Avenue people have obtained the con-
cont Of nroDcrty-hoders and the permission OF
tho PoiIroad Commissioners il accordance with
+bo stinulations of the law passed at the last
session of the Legislature, and ale now III inc
preliminary stage of contest Win the clIN
authorities, who have hitherto hoped to prove
the law unconstitutional. The broadway Com
pany desire to begin operations by cordial
understanding with the municipality, and have
accordingly asked Mayor Grant to refer their
onnEcation TO a commission for inquiry and
annroval. The company will ultimately have
to obtain the consent of property holders, of
which. it is understood, they are confident; and
of the Railroad Commissioners, who presum-
ably would follow their own precedent In the
Third Avenue case, and grant the Application.
But the company are anxious to soothe the
Sensibihties of the city fathers wounded by
their exclusion under the law from all author
ity in the premises, and to gain their cordial
sanction and support. OF course, this would
not benefit the Broadway people in case the
law were declared unconstitutional, but doubt
less their hope is that the Third Avenue Com
pany will become tired of litigation and make
peace with the municipal government in which
case nothing more would be said about the
constitutiOraity of the law
So far as we can see. there is no objection
| whatever to this mode Of procedure. We have
not hesitated to say that cables were prefer
able to horses, and to express hope Of seeing
them in operation in this city, under suitable
conditions. If the Mayor and his SubordnateS
choose to withdraw their opposition in return
for substantial benefits guaranteed to the city,
the people are not unlikely to be the gamers.
| As we have said repeatedly, cables are not
| probably TO be the ultimate means of prOpel-
| ling stIeet-cars, but no other device now in
use is. on the whole so satisfactory where the
conditions are not peculiarly adverse. As to
the wisdom of the Broadway Company in con-
cliating instead of fighting the local author
! tiles. there will not be two opinions. The
Third Avenue Company have waged long
and stout contest, and it is by no means sure
that they would not eventually win before the
Court of Appeals. But if the result Of the
negotiation just opened should be cOmpro-
mise ultimately embracing all lines on which
there is a disposition to lay cables, so that the
action Of the Railroad Commissioners in every
case might he final, the city could scarcely fail
to be advantaged.
