The suggestive letter of our Albany CORE

read with special interest because of the meet
ing of the Republican State Committee IN this
city tomorrow, when the party work neces-
sary in view of the novel conditions that will
govern the next election is to be discussed.
1t will be seen that the Ballot Reform law and
the new requirements of registration promise
to make tremendous difference between the
coming election and all that have preceded it.
Our friends the enemy are not blind to this
fact, and the Republicans must act accordingly
or fail to reap the benefit TO which the changed
conditions entitle them.

1t is not surprising that something of SEN
sation was caused in the Mohawk Valley yes
terday morning by an earthquake shock. 1t is
the first occurrence of the kind in that region
since the shock in August, 1884, which, how
ever, extended over a much wider territory.
Both appear to have been of about equal yio-
lence. No damage was reported yesterday,
the phenomenon making itself felt only in the
ratting of dishes, pictures, etc. Earthquakes
are so rare in this part of the country that they
inevitably create alarm, but one shock by no
means indicates that another is to follow. 1t
is an interesting coincidence that the earth
quake of 1884 also happened on Sunday

Mr.. Depew talked frankly to the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers yesterday, and told
them some wholesome truths that had no
sting in them. He was not the only high rail
road official present at the meeting in New
Haven. From this fact and from the general
tenor of the speeches made it is evident that
this great labor organization has no occasion
for disagreement with any of the employers of
its numerous members. Mr.. Depew said that
his company had never had any trouble with
the engineers that could not be settled by five
minutes talk, and that the door of his Office
was always open to an employe with griev-
ance. This is an admirable spirit for Il railway
president to display. Read in connection with
what Chief Arthur said about strikes, it in
dcates that serious labor troubles" on one
great railroad system are remote possibility.
A celebrated case indeed is the Eiske will

Court week ago rendered final decision.
