Great interest naturally attaches to the argu-
ments in the contested-election cases which were
presented to tho Court of Appeals yesterday.
Both parties were represented by able counsel.
The principal question at issue is simply whether
the Board of State Canvassers is purely min
isteral body, whose duty is to tabulate the votes
and do nothing besides, or whether it has the
right to consider the qualifications or alleged dis
qualifications of candidates, and grant or refuse
them certificates accordingly. It need not be
said that ruling by the highest court upon this
point is of the utmost Importance. We think,
too, that no one can question the desirability Of
securing decision at this time, in view Of the
possibility that the Presidential election next
year may hinge upon this very question.

The correspondence published this morning
shows that the Harrison Administration has taken
another important step in the direction of en-
larging our foreign trade in consideration of
the continued free admission of beet-sugar into
the United States from Germany, that country
agrees to admit our agricultural products on ia
vorable terms. 1t is confidently expected that
the new arrangement will take effect on Febrl-
AIRY /. What will be accomplished by it is set
forth in detail in our Washington dispatches.

with its reiterations and declarations when IL

yo back further then, and remind :" The POST how
IL was as much further back as in 1880 that the
Union League Club Irst resolved that none but
Republicans were eligible to membership. Three
times since then the same question has been de-
cided in the same way; but how does the vote OF

There is no sign as yet that by reason Of his
European trip Mayor Grant has modified the
opinion which he expressed'a few months ago.
that the streets Of NewYork were as clean as those
of any other city on the Western Hemisphere. and
would compare favorably with the thoroughfares
of the European capitals. The extensive oppor-
tunitics which he enjoyed for observation abroad
would render q deverance from the Mayor on the
subject timely just now.
It is evident that active efforts are to be put
forth at Albany this winter to improve the con-
dtion Of our streets by of further legislation
We would not breathe word against any move
ment that has promise of good in it, but Is it
really legislation that is needed? The present law
Is fairly satisfactory it is its administration that is
Mt fault Whatever laws may be passed, their
execution will be in the hands of the Tammany
machine; and so long as the Tammany machine
regards the Street Cleaning Department "spoils'
we cannot expect to have thoroughly cleaned
streets The only true remedy is to lay the axe
at the root of the tree.

The venerable Whittier's eighty fourth birth
day is at hand. Among the pleasant tokens of
remembrance which he is receiving is most
kindly and characteristic letter from his fellow
poet, DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes. The letter
will be found in Boston dispatch this morning.
The Autocrat writes as one old man addressing
another, but the individual note is there, strong
and clear. Certainly ii is CHEEKY old age that
he is enjoying. No greeting to Whittier at the
threshold of his eighty-f year will be more
acceptable than the cordial words OF Holmes.

Doorkeeper Turner returned to Washington
yesterday, comparatively happy man. He had
had an interview with Richard Croker, who as
sured him that the order had gone forth for the
Tammany "gang" to "let up on" him. That
u to say, Turner is to be allowed TO distribute
his hundred-odd places among the friends of the
17s Congressman fwho voted for him, Tammanys
Representatives being deducted. As the door
keeper thus has considerably less than one place
apiece for his supporters it will require some
fine figuring to make the visible supply 90
round However, he is to be congratulated on
being rid Of the bowling Tammany contingent.
There is not often more telling commentary
upon the sluggishness Of justice in this COM
munity than Is afforded by an incident in the
Court of General Sessions yesterday, when imam
pleaded guilty-tbough protesting his innocence
for the reason that he was unwilling to wait
any longer for trial. He has been confined in
