The Aqueduot Commissioners have wisely aban-
doned their project of spending $4,000 for a
record building in the gatehouse yard. having
become convinced that they had no authority to
use the Aaueduct funds for this purpose. The
scheme had little to commend it any way. The
city is supposed to make provision for the storage
of all records and archives. and they ought TO be
kept in an accessible place. To deposit those Of
the Aqueduct up at One Observation-Disclosures
would be hardly more reasonable than to stow
them away in a vault at the Croton Dam.

Washington correspondent has discovered that
Mr.. Blaine is losing his mind, and in fact has for
some time been in state Of mental collapse. The
Marquis di Rudini, Lord Salisbury and others
who have recently been graphing with Mr.. Blaine
will now be relieved They have all along been
undoubtedly of the opinion that something was
wrong, and after each set-to with Mr.. Blaine have
pondered deeply on the question Of what had hit
them. Now they know 1t was Mr.. Blaine's
weak mind. The correspondent who made this
great discovery conclusively proves his case when
he asserts that on several well authenticated
sions Mr.. Blaine has appeared bored by the conver-
sation of attaches of legations who have called
upon him, and did not remember all that they had
said when he met them again Now, this is most
serious, as any one familiar with the Washington
attache will allow. But the most ptiabe thing
about it all is the statement that when the last
embryo diplomat took leave Of Mr.. Blaine, the
Secretary looked if he could not have stood
the pressure many minutes longer"

Religious events of great importance crowd
closely on each other. Besides the Presby-

this week the Reformed Presbyterian Church
of North America will hold its annual Synod in
pittsburg. These and similar gatherings testify
TO the vitality and activity of the Churches,

valve for the surchargcd eloquenoe Of sundry

THE SUMMER YOUNG MAN.
oh, the summer girl song
Still goes floating along,
And its strain Is enchantingy sweet;
But you find, though you scan,
For the summer young man
Not a line that is pleasant and neat.
Though now he may stand
With yardstick in hand.
And deal you out cloth by the span,
At some summer place,
With a summerish grace,
He'll be king, will the summer young man.
When vacation he takes
'Mongst the mountains and lakes,
He leads the slight masculine van,
And the girls who look down
on his calling in town
win sigh for the summer young. msp.

Yesterday was one of the red-letter days Of
the coaching calendar. Not only was there
parade of the New-York Four-in-Hand CLUB at
Central Park, but also the first meet of the
Brooklyn Coaching Club in Prospect Park.
While the parade across the river included al
most everything in the horse and vehicle line
from four-in-hand to pony cart, that Of the
New-York club was restricted TO nine handsome
drags, the horsing CT which was excellent. and
the appointments almost faultless. President
William Jay as usual was in the van of the
procession, which wound its way through River
side Park to Claremont, where luncheon to
the accompaniment of the Hungarian Band
formed an agreeable substitute for the GUS

The outbreak of revolution in Cordova has
probably been instigated by the partisans of
Celman, the former President of the Argentine.
Ills home was in that quaint medieval town,
and he enjoyed marked popularity there. The
instruction has apparently been suppressed
after two days hostilities in the streets. Cor
dova can be reached in twenty -four hours by
railway from Buenos Ayres. Troops can rap
idly be concentrated there and revolutionary
dangers averted if the disturbance be local
one If the Provinces, always jealous OF the
political asoendancy of Buenos Ayres, are in
sympathy with the movement, the outbreak is
a very serious one. Evidence on this point is
not furnished by the dispatches. 1t is certainly
a singular coincidence that Chill and the Argen-
tine, the two countries in South America which
have been most markedly under English in
tiuence, should both be staggering under fnan-
cial mismanagement and exposed to the horrors
Of civil war.

Revision of Faith.

State Journal.
Suppose the pastor of church should
engage a minister from outside the
parish to aid him in revival work-as
Governor Campbell engaged Mr.. R. Q.
Mills, of Texas, to help in his campaign.
And then suppose that such visiting
preacher should undertake to reconstruct
the confession of faith of such church,
declaring this doctrine to be sound, and
that one unsound and not obligatory
merely "a matter of individual opinion, .
to be accepted or rejected as deemed fit
as Mr.. Mills is now doing as to his
profession of the Ohio Democracy on the
silver coinage question. What would
be said of such intermeddler? Especially
what would be said of the pastor who
should remain silent and Indifferent
under such circumstances, thus fully
asserting to assault on the sacred faith
of his church, as Governor Campbell is
now doing, in the presence of Mr.. Mills
gross impertinence? Such case would
soon find its way to the church judica
tory, under arraignment of the pastor
for infdelity to his VOWS. Governor
Campbell's case wilkbe for hearing be-
fore the court of the people of Ohio at
the November election.

VALUE OF HOME GOODS.

Cleveland World.
The work of education which Major
Mckinley is doing all over the State OF
Ohio this year is grand one, and
its effect can hardly be overestimated.
The following extract from his pen
shows what perfect master he is, not
only of this great subject but OF the
English language as well:
''The tariff reformer gravely asks why
we want manufacturing establishments
in the United States when we can buy
our goods in other countries as cheap as
we can manufacture them at home, if
not cheaper? Why maintain defensive
tariffs at all? Why not permit foreign
goods to come in unfettered by customs
house restraints? Why not admit com
peting foreign products free, or at low
revenue duty? The best answer the
most conclusive one-is written in our
own experience under the last free trade
tariff regime of the Democratic party.
when cheap foreign goods, invited by
by the low tariff of that period, destroyed
our manufactures, checked our mining,

FREE coinage, resulting in debasing
the money of this country, would work
a gigantic wrong to the vast army of
depositors who are creditors of the
savings banks to the amount of 81, ,500,-
100000. The loss in this sum by free
coinage would be S375,0O0,000, and a
depositor who had saved and entrusted
to bank $1,000, as good as gold, could
only draw out $3.50 in the kind of money
he had deposited. Perhaps, also, 7,000,-
600 persons in this country have paid
premiums and assessments out of daily
earnings into insurance companies.
They, too, would lose almost one fourth
of what by their toll and care they have
saved. What a tremendous injustice it
would be to permit corporation, liable
for $500,000,000 of insurance and enjoy
ing an enormous income from policy
holders, to pay its debts in cheapened
coin! Yet this is Ohio Democracy.

crowded field of agriculture, from re-

the foreigner, giving work to his shops
and his men by taking it from our shops
and our men, and diminished domestic
production and domestic employment,
thereby increasing those of other cOun-

era of 'cheapnesS' and of poverty to
which the great Democratic leader and
his faction of the party want us to re-
turn and which they have 'consecrated'
themselves to secure" ..

REMEMBER THE LEGISLATURE.

The following remarks from the
Cleveland Leader are pertinent at this
time, and should be considered by every
Republican. In our zeal to elect Nc
Kinley by tremendous majority, the
Legislative ticket must not be lost
sight of:
"Ohio Republicans must not let anything divert
their attention from the necessity of controlling
both branches of the General Assembly to be
elected this fall A majority in either the Senate
or the House of Representatives might give them
majority on joint ballot, and so insure the State
against the disgrace of another sale of seat in the
United States Senate to some Democratic million
aire. 1t would certainly render impossible the
stealing of two-thirds of the vote of Ohio in the
Electoral College by the Michigan scheme of choos-
ing electors by separate Congressional districts.
To prevent these fresh outrages, however, would
not be all that is required. There is an old wrong
which must be righted. The minority party in Ohio
has fourteen out of the twenty-one members of
Congress representing the State, owing solely to
the gerrymandering deviltry of the last General
Assembly, and it viii be necessary for the Repub-
lcans to elect majority in both branches of the
Legislature in order to undo this great wrong.
Then there is important legislation which can not
be expected from the Democratic party, and for
these weighty reasons it is imperative that both
Senate and House should be under Republican
control for the next two years"

THE OHIO OUTLOOK.

New York Tribune.
Democratic dispatches now admit that
Major Mckinley has altogether the best
chance in the Ohio contest, and only
hold out hopes to Democrats that they
may be able to secure the Legislature,
by aid of the Peoples party in some
districts, and thus to defeat Senator
Sherman. 1t is even asserted that the
Democrats are selling out their State
ticket in desperate effort to secure the
Legislature. This is not creditable, but
neither is it improbable. Upon control
of at leaat one branch of the Legislature
in Ohio would depend continuance of
all the abuses which have made Demo
cratic rule so pleasant to the corrupt
and knavish, all the plunderings and
pickings which have intrenched that
party in power. A Republican Legis-
lature would sweep away whole system
of fraud in that State, and with it the
dishonest gerrymander by which a
minority of the people have been able
to elect a majority of Congressman
Outside the State the election of Maj.
Mckinley will be most significant and
inspiring triumph, providing it comes,
as it ought to come, by no meagre or
scanty plurality, but by majority so
decisive as to show beyond dispute where
the State stands on the silver question
and the tariff question. 1t turns out as
the Tribune predicted; the Democrats of
Ohio have not been able to ignore or
dodge the issues raised by their resolu-
tion for unlimited silver coinage Mr.
Mills has attempted to make it appear
that on this question the two great par
ties are each so divided there is no issue
between them. But every voter of
average intelligence will be made to
understand that the same National
party which furnishes all the votes for
free coinage in Congress, and gives that
measure its only chance of success, is
that which has deliberately committed
itself in Ohio for free coinage. In every
nook and corner of the Union the sue
cess of the Ohio Democrats would be
instantly accepted as a great triumph of
free silver, and would stimulate its ad-
vocates intellectually.

HIS LAME ARGUMENT.

GOVERNOR CAMPBELL's attempt to
prove the farmers of Belmont county
poverty stricken, was sorryeffort. No one
applauded his remarks because theyknew
he was lying, and he knew it himself. 1t
is a well-known fact and subject of
general comment that the farm lands
were appraised much too high in 1880.
The reduction in valuation last year was
in response to general demand of the
farmers for a decrease in the appraise-
ment. The farmers were paying too
great proportion of the taxes. They
now pay less tax than they did, and if
that is not along the line of relief for
them, what is it?
And again, what kind of real estate
in this county has not decreased in value
in ten years? Some of our towns have
increased, yet the appraisement was
made on lower basis than ten years
ago. The farmers now pay less taxes
in proportion than they ever did, because
other interests have increased and pay
more taxes. If the Governor had known
what he was talking about, he would
not have attempted such bluff on
Belmont county farmers. 1t was in the
nature of an insult to them, and the
mutterings of disapproval of his speech
came from Democrats as well as Repub-
licans. The people of Belmont county
do not take kindly to such demagogery,
and an increase of 200 or 800 in the Re-
publican majority may be confidently
looked for.
