ANOTHER ADVENTISTS F4ILVPF

The AdventistS, or at least certain section OF
them, have just suffered another disappointment.
Had they had their way about it, would have
today all been in quite another condition, TO say
the least. Last Friday they had it arranged for
the heavens 10 roll together, and the earth not to
speak it profanely shrivel up like q Saratoga
chip But we are all here to-day, and sorle Of us
are running for office on the Democratic ticket
right in the face Of it.
Were il not for the Greenback party aye should
be inclined TO say that these Second Ad-
ventists who set an exact date for the destruction
Of the world were the most elastic under repeated
disappointment of any body of people in the coun-
try; but when we look at the Greenbacl: party we
see something just as cheerful under defeat. The
Greenbacers put ticket in the field, and the Adj
ventists set date for the end of all tn ngs every
two or three years. and each is Invariably crushed
to earth but early the next morning they are up
again, cheerful as could be expected under the cir
cumstances, and looking for candidates for the
next ticket and figuring new date. Defeat
cannot wither nor disappointment stale the infinite
variety of their elasticity.
II would seem to an outsider that, these Nd
ventists who so confidently fix a date for the end
of the world would become discouraged. They
have been doing it now for years, and nothing
could be more superfluous than to say that the
world is still here. We do not know exactly
what custom they are following at present but
formerly many OF them at least, pursued the plan
of predicting the destruction Of all thin rs year or
50 ahead and then calmly sitting down and wait
ing for the crash The confidence of a thorough
believer on such occasions was sublime The
sheriff might come and foreclose on his farm, but
he only beamed down on that mista ken Official
and asked hun what he was going to do with 1t.
lie folded his hands behind him compcently and
smiled pityngly on the poor sheriff, and requested
him 10 explain what disposal he intended to make
of big hHndred-acre farm during the excitement
on the Sd of next month? 1t was none OF HIS
business of course. but n matter of curiosity
he would like TO know what use a sheriff could
make of n farm after the trouble? But he usually
found that the sheriff appeared to be willing to
take the chances and as time rolled along he dis
covered that he himself had considerable more eX-
perience than farm. Still, he has never seemed to
profit by the experience, as we always find him
ready and waiting when another date for the
destruction is sent OUT so, perhaps, II he can en-
dure the disappointment and remain happy other
neople should not complain. We await the an
nouncement of the next date, but at the same time
The Tribune will continue TO be issued regularly.

4 CLEAR ISSUE IN BROOKLYN.

The Nayoralty contest in Brooklyn is OF such
n character that it is hard to CONCEIVE how cit
izens Of common sense and fair minds can nave
anv difficulty in determining for which OF the
t1to candidates to cast their votes. Certainly
there can now be no pretence that Mr. Chaplin
deserves support on the ground Of his indie
nondence Of the worst elements Of the party to
which h. belongs. The Young Republican CLUB
bit the nail squarey on the head In the resolu-
tions which they adopted last week when they
said that MIR. Chapin's experience proves that,
however honorable his intention, no man can
accept a nomination and electa. by the ring
without being controlled by IL Oh course II
a man put into office by this influence should
choose to defy it, that would be the end OF him
so far as Brooklyn Democratic politics is con-
cerned. 1t was open to Mr.. Chaplin to pursue
Such a course, for in a sense his nomination in
1887 was forced upon the leaders of the ma
chine Had he chosen it, we may be sure that
his denomination would not have been con-
templated as the remOtest possibility by the
ring and the gang. Repeatedly he has shown
his complete subserviency TO those dominating
Influences. and whatever claim he may have
had upon the support of men who believe in
voting for the best candidate in local contests
regardless of their politics has disappeared ut
tery and forever. Mr.. Chaplin is now the ring
candidate, without any pretence to the con-
trary. and the consequence is that he IS a
weaker candidate before the people than he
was two years ago
How is it with his opponent? Colonel Baird
came within 8S2 votes of an election in 1887
A change of less than 500 votes would have
elected him. His sturdy and uncOmpromising
honesty and common sense, which were con-
vincingly illustrated by his letter of acceptance
are lust the qualities which should win for him
the support of all citizens who desire bust
nesslike and economical administration OF the
city's affairs during the next two years. 1t Is
undeniable that in the Mayors office, as out OF
it,, he would be no mans man. His sole ambi-
ton is to serve the people as Mayor, while
everybody knows that for his opponent the
Mayors office is only the stepping stone TO
something higher-sOmethng which he can
achieve only through the goodwill of the gang
of politicians whose willing servant he has
proved himself. Colonel Baird, too, has the
advantage which comes from the tactical skill
shown in the selection for the second place on
the ticket of the man who as the Labor can
didate for Mayor in 1887 got nearly $4,000
votes The Republican candidate not only has
the solid Republican vote behind him, but he
deserves to have the support and the practical
influence of all citizens Of the OPPOSITE political
faith who wish to sec the city freed from the
curse and faint which must exist so long as the
rule of the corrupt and unprncipled Demo
cratic machine is perpetuated. If the Brook
Ign voters are wise, they will not fail to improve
the opportunity now afforded for permanent re-
lief from this blight.

THE SOVEREIGN AND THE COOK.

at is an off year and there is no need for
me to vote" says the laggard. How soon would
you discharge your cook, Mr.. Laggard, if she
should get decent breakfast one day in four
and call the others " off days.? Does anybody
suppose the government of a Nation needs less
fidelity than the cooking of breakfast?
1t is the largest and most important work
in which any Of us are engaged, that of gov
erning a great Nation. 1t makes or unmakcs
the prosperity Of millions. 1t affects the earn
ings or profits out of which all breakfasts and
dinners must come, and the wages of all the
cooks. 1t takes hold upon the future as well
as the present, and provides good earnings or
bad, good homes or bad, good breakfasts or
bad. for millions yet to come. What notion
il is that business must be looked after every
day. and cooking every day, but that governing
the Nation requires only one day in four years.
Consider little how many humble but faith
full citizens there are whose every day absolute
fidelity is necessary TO society. What an out
burst of horror and Indignation if a switch
tender or brakeman gets sleepy with his long
hours and suffers one train to smash into an
other. But does anybody imagine that the
Government is Of less consequence than the
train NndU WOuIu DttOulG Vi utCcHJ people
in great city if the policeman should attend
10 his duty one day in four, or the men who
control the water supply, or the lights, or the
supplies of fuel? Millions of men are giving
their lives every day and all the day, to the
service of society in humble and often il-paid
stations, but from each and all of them absolute
fidelity is expected, because it is necessary to
public welfare. They take the posts; they
must do the duty.
But every citizen who has become a voter
has taken his post as one of the soveregns of
this Nation He has no business to neglect any
fraction Of the duty which pertains to that post
even for a single day. The welfare of the
whole Nation, now and for generations to come,
depends upon his fidelity. One lacking vote
NAV alter history. Yet so little are some men
worthy Of their high and noble trust, so little
are they fit for their vast responsibility. that
they consider it enough to vote one year in four.
The rest are I" off years" and they let other
people take care of the Government. The hum
blest domestic servant, who has the room prop
erly swept and busted every day, puts such
q citizen 10 shame.

THE STLTANS GUEST.

The German Emperor in his address to the
Reichstag complacenty described himself as
travelling about the Continent from dlSlnter-
ested motives in order to promote the ends OF
peace. His journey to Athens to attend his
sisters wedding revels may, perhaps, be sum
marty dismissed as family affair, albeit the
alliance which has been strongly favored by
him seems destined to affect the future Of
Southeastern Europe. His subsequent visit 70
Constantnope is unique event without
precedent in modern history, and can hardly
fail to furnish material for ingenious con-
lecture in diplomatic circles for many months.
No Christian sovereign of the first rank has
been entertained by the Sultan for many cen
turies. The Governments OF Europe have com
bined from motives Of jealousy and self-in-
terest to prop up and protect the worm eaten
and crumbling throne at ConstantinOple; but
kings and emperors have RETAINED from en-
tering into personal relations with the Sutans
or from recognizing their claim to rank as fell
low-sovereigns in the modern world. The Ger
man Emperor, by including COnstantnople in
his Continental round of dynaStic visits, has
departed from the traditions Of modern di-
plomacy. No compliment of equal extrava-
gance has ever been paid to the Sultan by the
crowned head Of a Christian State. If the
Greeks have been overjoyed by the presence Of
a great company of kings and princes in their
capital during the week, what must be the
Sultan's sense Of citation and pride in receiving
as his guest the sovereign Of the most powerful
military empire of modern times Hardly
more than a fortnight ago the Car and the
Emperor were sitting check by jowl in the I'M
perial palace at Berlin; and now it is the poor
despised Turks turn to compete with the Chris
| tan courts in fraternal greetings to the Hohen-
zollern, and TO take counsel with him in the
interests of European peace!
| II the German Emperor's own account of
the motive of his royal journeys is to be rigdly
followed, he is not entering Constantinope from
idle curiosity or for the sake Of ostentatous dis
| play, but as good European who desires to
promote good feeling among the regning fam
| lilies of the Continent. His mission as the head
of an empire which keeps two millions of SOL
diers under arms is to promote the ends Of peace
by removing dynastic resentments, and by
bringing the courts into more harmonious rela-
lions with one another. This is the official ex-
planation given of his travels in the address
TO the Reichstag, and undoubtedly it refers to
the present stage Of his Imperial progreSs. as

earnest and sincere in advocacy of large ana
full measure of protection TO their industry, ana
n construction of the laws in the interest OF
American producers and not of foreign traders.
Most of them are we'll aware Of the fact. Being
their sincere friend, THE TRIBUNE has taken
occasion to state frankly what the,politcn con-
sequences would be. in elections and in Con-
press if the great army of men who produce
law materials should find their interests as
sailed in tariff revision. When a weather re-
port forecasts storm, that is not threat.
The millions who produce the raw materials
have not left their feeling or purpose in any
doubt More than once they have made every.
body understand by their votes at critical mo-
ments, that they would not consent to or toll
crate a tariff so c0ntrived as to benefit man
ufacturers but not to benefit them. 1t is mere
ignorance of political events not to recognize
the fact. THE TRIBUNE does not make the
fact, but sees and states it; did not advise, but
earnestly deprecated these manifestations, be-
cause they were at the time ininiical to the only
party which has ever supported protection
and does not ever advise people to throw away
the large and permanent benefits of protection,
in which everybody shares, because in some of
lis details IdflH uOeS injustice 10 individuals
interested. But he is not a woll-informed man
who does not see and he is not true friend of
the woollen manufacturers who does not state,
that overthrow of the duties On wool is certain
to be attended by overthrow of the duties on
cloths and carpets.
Because the woollen manufacturers them
selves recognized the truth of the statement
made when they gave it attention even the
few who wele inclined to strive for free wool
have determined that no such course is wise
The true remedy for the difficulties they have
to encounter is a correction of the serious mis-
takes made in the revision of 1888. In that
work they will have the hearty support of all
genuine Protectonists, and ought to have the
support of all men of common sense, for il is
sheer folly to have protective tariff in force
which does not secure the benefits of protec-
ton. The country has decided that there shall
be protection Of homo industry. The next
thing for practical men is to make it as Com
plete and fruitful as possible.

There was an interesting gathering at the
Westminster Hotel last night, when the can
didates on the Citizens county and city tickets
were duly informed of their nominations in the
presence of representatives of the Citizens
movement, the Republicans and the County
Democrats. Brief speeches were made by
Messrs. Bellamy, Canda, Allison, Fitzgerald
Gedney and Newburger, who accepted the nom
nations and pledged their earnest and united
efforts for the success of the entire ticket. The
meeting was businesslike, without any express
sons of over-confdence or indulgence in false
homes. The men chosen as the leaders of the
united forces marshalled against Tammany
realize that they must work in order to WIN
There can be no question of the result if the
situation is clearly understood by the voters.
The adherents of Tammany Hall are in minor
ity in this town--a fact which we hope to see
Overwhelmingly demonstrated next Tuesday.

And now somebody says the wool manufact-

ed to make strong effort to that end, were

The General Executive Committee on the
Worlds Fair has arrived at the conclusion that
suif Gent land for the site can be acquired by
condemnation, as land so taken will be for a
public use. If that is the case, why not make
an end of the uncertainty regarding Central
Park? This uncertainty is the only clog on the
enterprise and it is simply the truth to say that
il may be fatal one. The Park was only to
be taken if absolutely necessary, according to
the Site Committee. The necessity is now de-
clared not to exist. Then let the Park be ruled
out, and the guarantee fund will be pledged
in short order.

General Miles's report on the defencelessness
of the Pacific coast shows condition that is
not calculated to promote National pride. He
emphasizes the fact that there is not single
gun in position TO protect the cities of Puget
Sound and the great commercial interests of
the Northwest According to his estimate, 81 3
Guns are needed on our Pacific border, and he
nlaces the cost at $50, 100000. This is large
amount OF money. Probably there is no ex-
pectstion that an appropriation to such an ex-
tent will soon be made. But General Mlless
renort furnishes reason for careful reflection
on the part of Congress and for action in the
matter of coast defence, which ought not to be
restricted to the Pacific coast
