THE GOVERNOR AND THE DUTCHESS
COUNTY CLERK


What would be thought of judge who should
pronounce a man guilty that was to be tried be-
fore him without waiting for the trial? lie
would be hooted from the bench. Neverthe-
less, the present Governor of NewYork is such
an unmitigated and INSCRIPTIONS partisan, and
is so bent upon defeating the popular will as
expressed at the recent election, that he does
not hesitate to condemn in advance an official
who is to be tried before him. Despising the
presumption which lies at the foundation OF our
judicial system, that man is presumed to
be innocent until he is proved to be guilty, he
passes judgment upon the County Clerk OF Dutch
ess County without giving him an opportunity
to be heard in his own defence on the charges
which have been preferred against him. In the
opinion which he fled with the order removing
the County Clerk of Onondaga, the Governor
uses this amazing language: " Such acts of
disobedience and insubordnatiOn are contagious.
II is understood that the County Clerk of Dutch
ess County has done the same thing, and it is
notorious that the whole State canvass is await
ing that Clerks pleasure"
Now, this Duchess County Clerk whom the
Governor thus stigmatizes in an official paper
as being guilty of d&obedience and insubordina-
ton has been summoned before him to-day for
the express purpose Of affording the Executive
an opportunity of determining the very question
upon which he thus passes in advance Did
ever high public official in this great Common
wealth make such an indecent exhibition of him.
self? We think not. David b. Hill by this and
related acts which he has perpetrated since cleo
ton has done more to humiliate and disgrace
New-Yorl1 in the eyes Of her sister States than
William NJ. Tweed ever did.
What is it that this County Clerk who is thus
condemned without hearing has done? He
has simply refused, like an honest man and a
faithful servant of the people, to make common
cause with rascals. lie has declined to promote
the scheme of lawbeakeis, who wanted him to
certify returns which he knew were nothing If
not fagrantly bogus. The corrupt creatures OF
Hill in the Duchess Board of Supervisors tried,
but tried in vain, to bulldcze him into compli-
ance with their plot to steal Senate seat for
Osborne. No wonder the Governor cannot abide
a good and faithful servant like that who stands
between the ballot-box and those who would
defle it. Small wonder that he condemns him
without hearing. The comfort is that what
ever comes, Hill will go with the year. He has
gotten to be an intOerable nuisance, a stencil
in the nostIils of reputable people.

TIE BROOKLYN BOARD or EDUCATION

1t would be an excellent thing if the Barth-
man affair in Brooklyn should lead to reor-
ganization Of the Board of Education in that
city. reorganization has long been desired
by many citizens, but though various plans have
been proposed nothing has yet been accom-
plished and, in fact, for several years nothing
in this direction has been undertaken. The
Board consists at present of forty-ive members
one-third of whom are appointed in juno of each
year. Thus every Mayor during his term Of two
years appoints thirty OF the members, but during
a year and half of his term only one-third of
his own appontees hold seats in the Board
A Board consisting of so many is unwieldy and
cumbersome, and the responsibility is so widely
distributed as to be scarcely felt at all. There
is no doubt that the efficiency of the Brooklyn
Board would be increased by reduction Of its

THE FOREIGN OUTLOOK.

Does starvation promote WARP In the opinion
Of many who discuss foreign affairs the loss OF
crops in Russia, the famine which afflicts large
part of the Russian population, and the discon-
tent and restessness which naturally result are
likely to drive European Governments into for
eign war as a means of quoting affairs at home.
1t cannot be denied that many external clrcum-
stances point to the probability that the peace OF
Europe may be disturbed within the coming year,
and, if at all, at the initiative of Russia And
others in Europe which is just now most bur-
dened in its finances, and threatened with enor-
nous expenses on account OF the starving con-
dition of its people, should be suspected more
than any other OF desire TO begin great and
costly foreign war as means of relieving itself
from embarrassment.
II appears to be generally believed that no
other European Power is at present prepared to
begin hostilities For a time after the young
Emperor Of Germany came to his throne occa-
sional utterances fired with the exuberance Of
youth and the consciousness of vast power caused
uneasness of feeling, and the impression that
he might be disposed to break the peace of Eu-
rope in order TO win military glory for himself.
But of late that apprehension has nearly passed
away IL seems to be the settled conviction Of
well-nformed foreign observers that Germany,
unless assailed in vital interests, will not be the
first to begin war;
The alliance between Russia and France, aIch
as il is, has doubtless done much to deepen the
impression that hostilities are expected, if not in
tended, by the allied Powers. Something of this
impression is due to the natural extravaganza of
tone adopted by some French speakers in dis
cussing the sSent. No corresponding uttefance
on the Russian side can be quoted, and it may
be broadly said that Russia is not greatly in the
habit of barking before it bites. What plans
Russia has come TO light when Russia has acted
and not before. substantially, the only tangible
evidence of preparation for hostiites is the mass
ing Of Russian Troops along the western from

The State Board of Canvassers has received
opinions from two Democratic lawyers that it
must complete its work in five days. Whether
ID will go ahead on that understanding has not
vet been determined. AT all events, it was
agreed yesterday that the canvass should pro-
coed at once as to State officers and all the SEN
ate districts except those in dispute. We do not
see how the cause of the men whose seats are
contested will be- prejudiced by this action. There
is a loud popular demand that these cases should
be determined fairly and impartially in the
courts No other decision of them can be ac-
cepted. Governor Hin is on record in favor OF
referring all contested elections to judicial de-
cision. Let him prove his faith by his works.

An incidental remark of Po6tmaster'uenerdl
Wanamaker in his annual report puts In s'ar1-
ling shape the extent of the robbery OF the people
by the Louisiana Lottery. 1t is estimated he says
that the loss Of revenue to the Government LII pos
taun and registry fees caused by the operations
Of the lottery law and the efforts to suppress the
lottery's depredations amounted to no less than
81 800 900 during the past year. This sum Is
over Der cent of the entire postal revenue, but
it is merely an incidental expense of the patrons
of the peculiar institution" of louisiana one
which probably few of them even take into &C
count in their dealings with it. What, then, must
have been the gigantic proportions of the sum
annually gathered from all parts Of the country
through the mail, by this great fraud? The COM
mttee appointed at the recent meeting in this
city to collect money for the anti-ottery crusade
is having good success, some $4,000 having been
already secured. More is needed. and subscrip-
tions are urgently requested by Messrs. Hewitt
Williams, Jesup and Trask.
In Section 4 of Article ~ the Constitution
of the State of New-Yorl provides that the Gov

David b. Hill journeyed to Elmira yesterday
and there made speech before the Democratic
club which bears his name. fine opportunity
was afforded him for justifying the course which
be has been pursuing ever since November in
order to defeat and override the will OF the
people as expressed at the polls. But the printed
copy of his speech which came to The TRIBUNE
Office yesterday contains nothing at all on this
sub,ect-not even a reference to the "present
crisis" Is Hill beginning TO perceive that his
action is indefensible? That is more than we
dare TO believe or hope. Can he think that the
Democratic party at large approves such des-
picable business as he is engaged in, and that
therefore no defence is needed?

The Tariff Responsible.

We notice in some of the papers that
the high price of eggs this summer is at
tributed to the fact that the poultry men
had bought up all the hens. We spoke
of it to Lawrence, the poultry man, and
he says that it is not the cause, but that
the tariff of five cents per dozen on eggs
has kept the Canada eggs out of the mar
ket of the United States, or has forced
the Canadians to sell their eggs that
much cheaper. Lawrence says the
prices are likely to remain high. aud We
would suggest to our readers that this
makes poultry raising more profitable
than ever before in this country and that
it is likely to remain so. 1t is well to
consider this matter and see II it will
not pay to raise more chickens. With
eggs never below ten cents per dozen,
and poultry at the high price Lawrence
has always paid, it seems that poultry
raising ought to be one Of the most
profitable industries in this country
