voice hc has been proclaimed the man who can
make success of the great Exposition. Ot
course we can refer to no one but MIR. John Ryno,
Of Breeds Station whose wonderful tale OF the
white mare with the rabies we gladly printed III
The Tribune yesterday morning If any reader
Of this should have been so unfortunate 10 have
missed Mr. Ryno's story he should instantly
hunt up Yesterdays paper and read the account
in its gorgeous entirety.
Some men would have been content with the
creation of n white mare rushing headlong down
a country road, with her mouth open and her
eyes buging from their sockets. They would
have rested with this, knowing that fame
theirs but not so Mr. Ryno. He puts himself in
front of the cnragcI animal light buck
board and allows her to chasc him five miles and
pnaw the iron tires OF the rear wheels of his
vehicle Nor is this all He makes the mare
lump a barbed-wirc fence and chase a Toledo,
Peoria and Western express train three miles
down grade, while she dcvours the porter on the
rear platform. Finally, Mr. Ryno has pity us
and allows the white 10 lie down and die

that the blackboard and the express train have not
as yet shown any indications of having contracted
hydrophobia.
The people of Breeds Station, where Mr.. Ryno
lives. are SAID 10 be much agitnted over the oc-

from this aS it empty. But Mr.. Ryno does
not ask the public to take his unsupported word
for the occurrence. He is ready TO show the

70 look at it, Professional sceptics are going to
have hard time with the coming director-gen-

Since writing the above another dispatch comes
from Breeds Station by the way of Chicago.

took after him. Mr.. Ryno ran two miles across
tbe open fields with the enraged engine close
behind. He was finally rescued by friends, who
discovered that the supposed locomotive was Sim

fallen into the natural error Of mistakng the
lightning bugs flash for locomotives headlight.
An original package empty, however, was found
in Mr.. Rynos coat-tail pocket. No one should
allow this later occurrence to prejudice him
against the story of the white mare. The best

THE NEXT ASSEMBLY.

Governor Hills special organ 1.-The Albany
Times" informs whom it may concern that the
Assembly can be carried by the Democracy
this fall BY way of encouraging the weak
hearted and the weaker Drained, it goes to the
length of asserting that eve Democrats have
every issue upon which we can 60 to the peo-
nle, What these issues are 1.-The Times
neglects to mention just as it also neglects to
mention the districts now represented by Re
publicans which the Democrats hope to carry.
The truth is that it is a peculiarly forlorn hope
which this good and faithful mouthpiece OF
the Governor is backing. The Democratic
party might well despair of carrying the AS
sembly of 1891 even if they had made good
record in the last Legislature. Their aln OF
course, is TO carry it by majority SO large
that they will be able to send one OF their
number to the United States Senate. Let us
soc how big the contract is. The Legislature
sf 1890 contained e1 Republicans, of whom
10 were Senators and ~ Assemblymen. IL
contained 50 Democrats, of whom IL were
Senators and Sc Assemblymen. The Senate
holds over so that if the Democrats are to have
a majority on joint ballot next year-and they
must have that to control the United states
cenatorship-they will have to retain their
present strength in the Assembly and gam
II districts.
In the most favorable circumstances they
would find the accomplishment of such task
something herculean. But what are the CIR
cumstances? Is it true, as "The Times" says
il is that the Democrats "have every Issue
upon which they can go to the people? far
from 1t. The Democracy Of the last Legs
lature was vicious in aim and inefficient III
action. 1t was the unrelenting foe OF reform
Il fought against high license {; it fought against
local option; it fought against tho leadihg
Ballot-Reform measure it helped XIII lapiu
transit; the only Excise bill which 1t cham
njoned was intended to shield those who wan
tonly violate the Excise laws. Yet Ill the
face of all this. "The Times has the aSS'u-
ance TO contend that the Democrats made a
record in the last Legislature on which theS
can confidently 90 to the people
1t is perhaps good politics to Whistle Iouu
and long for the purpose Of inspiring much
needed courage. But we submit that all
things considered, THE Times" is vastly

The Thingvalla and the 500 or 600 persons
on board of her seem to have had narrow
escape from destruction when the steamship
ran into an iceberg week ago yesterday. AS
in previous cases recently reported, the icy
monster did not make its presence known by
the usual marked lowering of the temperature
and it was only through the sharpness OF the
lookout that it was discovered in time par
tally to check the vessels speed. These re-
heated warnings cannot fail to he needed by
tbe commanders of passenger steamships. The
captain of the City of Rome reported ON sun
dav that the ice belt extended further east as
we'll as further south, than he had ever known
il before. The way around the icebergs, even
if if is somewhat longer, is just now by all
odds the safest way across the Atlantic.

SOME FLOOTENT FIG TRES.

~ Il is one of the distinctive features OF THE
TRIBUNE that it is an almoner of popular char
tiles on large scale. Once a week during
the summer months one-half or sometimes
two-thirds Of column is devoted to acknowl-
edgncnts of receipts for the Fresh Air Fund.
This is practically all that the readers OF this
journal see i'll print of the operation OF this
beautiful charity, with the exception of an
occasional reference to the subject on this
mage. No other well-organized system of re-
lieying the hardships of the poor in overcrowd-
ed cities is conducted noiselessly and with
30 little ostentation. The work is carried on
from year to year on a sclf-sustaining basis al
most without public observation; yet the re-
suits are of remarkable magnitude. We in
yite the attention of chronic pesSmlsts, who
are constantly complaining that the press is an
organized agency for asSailing private reputa-
ton, dcbauching public morals and popular
izng frivolous gossip and personalities, and
that it possesses no redccmng features, to the
following tabulated results Of thirteen years
successful operation of the Fresh-Air Fund !:

The meeting of the Republican State Com
mittee to-day, although the session is to be an
executive one will attract general attention
throughout the State. 1t is understood that
Senator SaxtOn will be present to explain the
workings of the lotRcform law which bears
his name. and that special attention will be
paid to this subject in arranging plans for the
coming campaign. 1t is to be in peculiar
sense an educational campaign, and the party S
leaders are wise in making their preparations
early. The Republicans can hold their own
in the State next fall, provided the proper
effort is put forth and the needful work done.

Some interesting and suggestive testimony
touching the Excise Department was gwen
Yesterday TO Sepator Fassetts committee The
principal witnesses were Mr.. Andrews, one OF
the Excise Commissioners displaced by Mayor
Grant, and d. J. Whitney, well known as the
agent of the Society for the Prevention OF
Crime Mr. Andrews's testimony was slgnih-
cant in that he lndorsed the idea OF special
court for the hearing of Excise cases which
was advocated by THE TRIBUNE yesterday.
Mr.. Whitney bore witness to the general worth
lessness of the present Excise Board by de-
claring that it was simply useless to ask them
to revoke licenses even in cases where VIOLA
tions of the law had been clearly proved. lie
also charged that the police were brlbed to
"protect" certain resorts, though he did not

his statements. The Excise investigation has

An agreement has been reached by the
conference committees of the Senate and
House on the Customs Administrator bill,
which has been in dispute for some time. Speak
ing generally, as our Washington dispatches
point out the House has yielded to the Senate
on most of the points wherein resided the
causes of disagreement. As now arranged the
bill will take effect on August 1. 1t has been
carefully considered in the light OF all the in
formation that could be obtained from the
large interests involved, and there are excel
lent reasons for believing that it will bring
about marked improvements in the admins
tration of our customs laws.

II should not be forgotten remarks Senator
Fassett. that this committees life does not
end until Jannary l, 1892" The evil-doers in
the various branches Of the city government
will not breathe more freely after reading this
announcement. Investigation is TO be in order
for some time to come. Nor is it likely that il
will be confined TO this city. If Senator Fassett
and his associates choose to cross the East River
some time during the next eighteen months they
will doubtless find themselves richly repaid 1t
would not be bad idea either to take in the
Brooklyn Bridge on the way either going or
coming. The committee will find plenty to do
there's not the least doubt about that.
