pirates have run up the black flag again.
recent Baltimore dispatch brings the infor-
nation that the State oyster navy has been put
into commission for the season. The tyrantS foot
has been temporarily removed from the State OF
Maryland, but the oyster pirate is off her shore.
But Maryland does not fear Her oyster navy is
on the deep, examining the surroundings for
pirates. She knows that her oyster navy has
every sail set and every gun loaded TO the muzzle
and that it will fight to the last man-that is, il
one Of the men is disabled that the other will
keep up the conflict. The Maryland oyster navy
consists, if we mistake not, of one boat and two
men. One man manipulatcs the sail and does the
cooking. while the other steers and keeps cold,
steelgraY eye out for pirates. Last year the
Maryland oyster navy did grand work It's plan
was to keep around in the vicinity of the pirates
and thus them TO Use up all their profits in
shooting at it. At one time the report was
proudly sent out from Baltimore that while the
captain Of the navy was working the mainsal in
a hot engagement the day before, the pirates
repeatedly fired bullets through his chin whskers.
Still this brave man did not quail, but continued
TO jerk the mainsail around just he pleased, To
the CONSERVATION Of the pirates. Occasionally
he put his head below deck and with pocket
comb removed the buclshot from his beard, but
that was all. 1t is understood that the same man
is in command this year, and that his chin whiskers
are longer than ever. 1t is no wonder that Mary

In dealing with other matters that came be-
fore it the convention showed great good sense.
II dismissed the question Of proportionate
representation, partly because it was not prac-
ticable, and partly because the inequality in
diocesan representation which now exists will
be best corrected by the adoption of the pro-
vincial system in the near future. For the
same reason the proposition to establish gen.
eral Court Of Appeals was defeated. The re-
vision of the Hymnal was put in the hands
of commission, some members of which are
expert hymologiStS, which will report to the
next General Convention. proposed canon
on marriage and divorce failed Of enactment
for the good reason that it was based on a
doubtful, if not erroneous, Interpretation of
Tassage in Leviticus. The missionary opera
tons of the Church were fully discussed. and
new missionary doceSes were formed. And in
many ways the Convention showed that, in
spite of its conservatism, the Episcopal Church
is taking broader and more comprehensive
view Of its position and opportunities, and is
learning to keep step, though it may be little
awkwardly, with the great religious and social
movements Of the age.

David Il. Hill was present the other DAY az
the layine of the cornerstone OF new armory
and made speech He is fluent speaker,
the Governor is and if words were only deeds

Of the National Guard. On this occasion he

Now a large proportion of the citizens of the
Commonwealth were in Newly ork on the oc-
casion referred to, and Governor Hill was OF
tho number. Did he feel "a quickened pride

session requested Adiutant-General Porter to
inform him what separate companies or regi-
ments still needed armories. The AdJutant-
General complied with this request and the
result was that the Legislature passed seven
bills providing for the erection of armones.
There was no politics in them, they were draft

rNcOURAGING PROSPECTS.

Our friends throughout the State have
right to feel that the Republican ticket goes
down the homesNetch winner. All the can
didates upon it are unassailable. There is no
napier- mache in the record of any OF them.
And back of the candidates and around about
them is a united aggressive party determined
town. The canvass is being pushed all along
the line, and if the fight is continued to the
end with the resolute spirit which has character
lied it thus far, we are bound to score most
gratifying victory week from next Tuesday
The outcome of the long struggle over the
Senatorship in the XXllld District, and the
nomination of the Citizens ticket here in the
metropolis, are two events which emphasize the
harmony and Sagacity with which the Repu6-
licans are moving forward to victory. The
nomination of ex-Speaker Sheard secures for
the district a representative who will do ID
honor. No man in the Mohawk Valley is held
in higher esteem, and he has earned promotion
to the Senate by good and faithful service for
several terms in the Assembly. a close per-
sonal friend Of Warner Miller, his success in
the convention was due in no small degree to
the boom given his candidacy by the public
spirited letter which Thomas G. Platt wrote.
This fact, in all that it implies of party har-
mony will satisfy everybody except the Dem
ocratic managers. They have been loudly pro-
claiming that the Senatorial contest at Utica
proved that the Republicans, especially the two
leaders referred to, were sorely at odds. Mr..
Sheaid's nomination, considering the way it
was brought about, will force them to gnaw
file during the rest of the campaign.
That the Citizens ticket here in New Y ork
materially strengthens the Republican position
must be evident to every intelligent man. The
movement to which it owes it's origin has the
sanction of the best men of both parties. Tam
many rule is not good rule. 1t commends it
self to the taxeater, but not to the taxpayer.
1t aims at the supremacy of selfish ogarchy
at the expense of the many. In making COM
mon cause with other opponents of this dan
gerouS organization, the Republicans, true TO
the underlying principles of their party, are
doing their best to conserve good government.
The fact that the ticket is so clearly in the in
terest of genuine reform, that the Republicans
are so worthily represented upon it, and that it
was Endorsed with such unanimity at the Re-
publican County Convention last night, will
draw out our full party vote. And the pros
pect of full party vote below High Bridge
cannot fail to inspire the Republicans of the
interior to renewed eXe1tions.
The prospect is certainly full Of encourage
ment From all parts of the State come bright
tidings. Let these last days Of the campaign
be devoted to hard work in every district and
all will be well on Election Day

and the other Democratic State officials con-
nected with it are TO blame for the losses sus-
tanned by the State at the hands of the dis
honest contractors We commend to the
perusal Of all such citizens the article on the
subject published on the first page of this issue
of TUE TRIBUNE. II is brief plain state
ment of the facts in the case which incrlminate
the two officials who are now candidates Tor
reelection. The testimony against them IS
that of their own confessions on the witness
stand 1t is difficult to understand how any
fair minded Democratic citizen can read these
confessions and then vote for the men who
made them.
MIR. Biggar and MIR. Davitt would have dis
PLAYED better Judgment if they had refralned
from addressing the Parnell Commission and
left the prosecution in exclusive enjoyment OF
the privilege of summing up the case. Their
colleagues had Withdrawn from the proceed
incs on the ground that an equitable decision
could not be rendered by tribunal convicted
of partisanship. They would have acted with
greater discretion if they had submitted their
case without argument, and thereby united with
their colleagues in protest against the par
tiality of the court. AS it is, the counsel for
the prosecution can reply TO their arguments
and invectives, and the decision of the Com
mission will not follow a one-sided presentation
of the case. The collapse of the investigation
is apparent even with this adventurous aid from
these Irish leaders. Public interest In the
proceedings has ceased in England. The
forgeries have been proved, and the chief
Unionist journal convicted of reckless libel
and Justification. The decision Of the Com
mission will not affect public Judgment or the

Voters in this city who have not yet regis
tered will have a last chance to get their names
on the polling lists to-day and tomorrow. So
far the registration has been unusually light
even for an d" off" year; but rapidly growing
interest in the State campaign, together with
general desire to accomplish something sal
utary this fall in municipal politics, may after
all swell the ranks Of those intending to vote
to their normal proportions. No Republican
should neglect the opportunity OF success
offered this year on both State and local issues.
The limits Of the voting districts and the place
of registration for each district are given in
detail on other pages of this issue.
