When such an effort as it is proposed for
Tenny to make comes so rarely, 1t comes
with all the moro refreshing interest for
turfmen who see in the cultivation OF the
thoroughbred something more than the sup
ply Of material to make close finishes and
exciting contests. Not since Ten Brock s
memorable performances have We had such
an opportunity again to take our bearings In
the horse world, and learn as satisfactorily
as possible where the racer Of to-day stands
in comparison with his ancestors.
Tenny's engagement to show on August
20 how fast a crack OF the time can
run over the standard distance Of mile
promises to be an event Of certain value
to the breeding industry and OF very great
interest to the observant public. At four
years OF age with 118 pounds he will under
take to do what Ten Brock did at Ave,
carrying ITO, but it is safe to say that he
will start favorite over time. Though he
cannot In the manner OF our modern gun
boats, add thousands OF dollars to his
owners pocket by knocking Off quarter Sec
onds indefinitely, still every quarter second
cut off below tho line OF success will add
doubly to his fame.
In u hgurative sense this trial Of Tenny's
suggests the only field where he and Saliva
tor can ever dispute honors again. Salvador
Is to-day the racer OF racers. He Is the
best" beyond denial. But there still re-
mains a certain unsatisfied curiosity to
know Salvatore extreme measure. and,
since no rival on the track is ft to take 1t,
the only method ls to have him take it him
self and show how fast the leader Of the
turf can actually go. Will not Mr.. HAaGIN
round of the active career OF this noble
beast by setting him also at the task OF
proving the extent OF a thoroughbred's pow
ers; and, il it would look too much like hum
bug after defeated rival to try at a circular
track like Brighton Beach or sheepshead.
why not begin the record for mile straight
away. and at Monmouth Park drop the
mark to :37 or 1862

AFRAID OF WICKED POLITICIANS
Tho Way the Board OF Registry sets Out
to Secure Honest Election.

The Way the Board OF Registry sets Out
to Secure an Honest Election.
, The lists Of election officers to serve under
the new election law In Hudson county have
been completed. and yesterday they were given
to the County Board OF Registry. Tho Board
said il would PERMIT no one to sec the names.
John R. Virgins, the Chairman. said that in all
probability the names OF the men selected
would be kept secret until q few days
before the election. There would not be so
much chance then. he said. for wicked poll
ticians 70 corrupt any Of the men, and an honest
election would then be secured. The Chair
man Of both the Democratic and Republican
County Committees know the names OF the
men. for they selected them. aud there is noih-
ing to prevent their telling who the men are II
they choose.
The wickedest politicians in the city know
most Of the names last night. Whether they
got them from the CEairmen or the County
Board is not known. Tho Board Of ReRistra-
tton has nine days to make changes In the list
II It wants 10. There was 80 much trouble In
getting the names OF men who would serve

The assistant architect OF Democratic dis
aster has been delivering In Missouri a series
Of lectures on his theories OF political econo-
nv. From time to time there have been brief
reports OF tho Hon. ROGER Q. MGLLs's ap-
pearances in the West, but the general pub
lie, with larger matters demanding its atten-
tion at Washington and elsewhere. has not
occupied itself much with the movements OF
this disappointed and discredited politician
and back-number statesman.
Mr.. MILLS returned to Washington on
Wednesday, hut not to stay. Through tho
Ne,c York Times he makes the subjoined an
nouncement to the American people:
This Washington is no place for me. The cam.
paiEn is on The people in the Northwest inter.
ssted in the tariff question with eArnesneps that
they have never before manifested and am going TO
talk 10 them Tho PEOPLE must settle this taxation bust
mesa and all can do is TO put them In the way Of
looking at It tightly"
1t strikes us that Washington Is just the
place for the Hon. ROGER Q. MILLS just at
this time.
II that gentleman were not In the receipt
OF pay from the people Of the United States
for the performance OF certain specific and
well-defned duties, he might indulge his
missionary enthusiasm to any extent, and it
would be nobody's business but his own.
He might travel North, South, East, or West
according to his individual inclinations, and
talk on the tariff question as long as any,
body was willing to listen.
But as q preliminary to the enjoyment OF
perfect freedom to select his own field OF
usefulness 1t Is necessary that the Hon.
ROGER @. MILLS should resign his seat in
the House Of Representatives and allow the
people OF the Ninth district Of Texas to elect
Representative who shall understand that
Washington is the place for him while Con-
gress is in session.
Az against Mr.. M1LLs's unofficial opinion
that Washington Is no place for him at the
present time. we beg leave to submit this
very distinct provision OF the Revised Stat
utes Of the United States:
SECTION 90 The serGeantatArms OF the House sh all
deduct from the monthly payments of each member
Delegate OF his salary for day that
has been absent from the HouSe unless such member
delegate assigns the for such absence tho
sickness Of himself Of some member OF his family"
This Is mandatory. 1t shows that in the
view Of the law Washington is the place for
the Hon. ROGER @. MILLs as long as he con-
tinues to apply to the Sergeant-at-Arms for
his monthly installment Of n salary paid to
him for attending to the peoples business.

1t Is we'll known that for nearly quarter
OF a century Prince BISMARCK exercised an
astonishing amount OF control over the Ger
man press and over the correspondents Of
the foreign press" in Germany. 1t is also
generally we'll understood that his influence
was In no small degree sustained by the use
OF the income of the so-called GUELPH fund,
which rightfulIy belongs to the heir of the
lato King OF Hanover. This was, however,
only one OF many levers of seduction and in
timldation which. taken together. corsti-
tuted most formidable apparatus for Great
ing or suppressng public opinion. We find
a detailed account of this machinery in an
anonymous article contributed to the Fort
Nightly Rcpie,r, whose author, although Bit
torly hostile to the ex-Chancellor. is evil
IDENTIFY well informed.
Let us look frst. at the instruments Of in
timidltion. or course. newspa pers in Ger
many, ms in other civilized countries, are
subject to trial and punishment by the
cOults for seditious and calumnous utter
Gncs. But the German laws relating to Sc
dition and libel are more sweeping than tn
EnGlsh aI,l they are construed moro un-
fnvornbly to tho accused. Thus it has been
jndicially held that gross disorder" In
stead OF being confined to disturbances OF
the public peace, may be caused by dIsre-
srect'ul criticism of the Government In the
newspapers. Again, it has been held that
libel is perpetrated when any fact. whose
truth cannot be proven, is asserted, pro-
vidrd II Is calculated In any degree TO lower
another person In public opinion. Thus in
the trial Of Count Hermann ARNIM it was
pronounced libel against Prince BISMARCK
to deny him the virtue OF generosity.
Another accused person was convicted OF
libel on the score OF ironcal or faint prai se,
because he commended the Chancellor's 8
niodesty in granting himself pension Of
only $1,000 on his resignation of sineaure
With courts ready to make such elastic
definitions OF libel, it was natural that pub
lie prosecutors, who were eager for advance
mont, should lndustriously hunt up offences
against BISMARCK and secure the condem-
nation OF the offending papers.
In Germany, however, newspapers not
only have to reckon with the courts; they
are also exposed 10 summary interference
on the part OF the police. Under tho Press
law OF 1874 the police can at once suppress
any newspaper II 1t fails to give the name
and address OF the publisher and printer, or
II In time OF war it publishes forbidden news
on military operations. or it-this Is the mis-
chievous olause-in the opinion OF the police
authorities 1t contains indecent matter or
proyocGtion to high treason or to violence
between one class and another, or to offences
against the sovereign or resistance to the
Government. As II this were not a suffi-
ciSntly redoubtable engine OF coercion, the
anti-socialist law Of 1878 provided that all
newspapers In which socialistio views were
proclaimed In a manner tending to over
throw the existing order or endanger the
public peace, should be summarily sup
pressed.
Under such circumstances 1t was easy for
Prince BISMARCK to prevent the majority of
German newspapers from saying anything

What is there in the nature OF tho Knights

them the calamity Of a dishonest leader2
From the time OF MARTIN IRONS to E. j.
LHR the central figure Of any great strike
seems nearly without exception to have been
revealed before It was over as treacherous

or as betraying the confidence reposed
in him by members Of his own So
cIety. Disappointment, failure, disin-
tegration, are the inevitable results,
and the career OF the Knights Of Labor af-
fords no exception to the rule. Their entire
history shows that where the interests OF
othor Workingmcn are involved their motto
Of IAN injury to one is the concern OF all "

outside laboring man is no concern Of the

In our opinion there has been no more de-
structive element among labor organiza-
tiuns than the Knights OF Labor.

On the subject Of the KEAndnER execution

On the subject Of the KElrAdLER execution
our esteemed contemporary. the Louisvillo
Commercial. has this to say:
Governor HILL may be assured that II no secures the
prompt punishment Of murder the sensible portion Of
the public will stand by him and very little about
the methods by which death 10 visited the murder.
No matter what method is adopted It not likely
to torture them much they tortured their vicms
and as they took no pains Sparb torture they have
no right to expect that the pupic should DO more
eonsidsrats in administering its jubtics,"
II some recent views on the propriety OF tor
ture had been expressed while hanging was
being abolished. the movement In favor OF
electricity would probably have come to an
end without success. The Commercial and
other theorists OF Gen. BIcKLEs's school should
remember that execution is not for vengeance
only.
