It Pays to Let This Town Alone.

The Hon. CHAuNCEy MITCHELL DEfEw
announces after election truth OF which
he was probably conscious before election,
but which his sense OF politeness prevented
him from disclosing while Mr.. FAssETT wns
basting the Tiger:
IL discovered this fall thu; tho rural voter enred lit

proclaimed. us 1t were. by the most graceful
and popular of Republican orators. let us
hope that It will be accepted by oil except
the Mugwump moralists. 1t Is really only
an application and illustration Of tho great
principle Of mind your own business. The
people OF Now York govern themselves
In way satisfactory to themselves, and IL
Mr.. EDWIN LARRrKlN GopKN and the
rest Of the Mngwump squad don't
like it. they can move. 1t Is easier
for Dir. GoDKLN to go back to Ireland than
1t Is for fifteen or sixteen hundred thousand
persons In this town to change their idens
to suit him. 1t Is true that Cloughbawn

GoDKfN, but. on tho other hand. Mr.. GoD-
KIN would kick violently against Clough-
bawn. III fact. he and tho other Mugwumps
would growl in heaven. residence which
they nre not likely to attain unless they
show little more regard for veracity.
But the Republican party cannot afford to
repeat tho old Mugwump libels and lies
about this town. It will have to admit that
New York has the kind OF government that
is agreeable to 1t. The rural voters have
Just shown that they will not engage in any
effort to abuseit. It will dawn upon even the
most partisanly obtuse mind In New York
that there are no votes In lying about this
city.
This election should be profitable In many
ways for instruction to the New York Re-
publican politicians: and not least In this
way and to this effect: Abusing New York
city and opposing New York city do not
pay. The city will strike back. And the
country won't say nay.

Tie Pullman Car Policy Abandoned.

No more important State paper has
emanated from the White House for several
months than Gen. HARR1soN's letter to the
Hon. PAT WALSH Of Georgia giving the
Presidents reasons for declining IN invita-
ton to visit tho Augusta Exposition. It
announces distinct and radical change OF
policy on the part Of the Administration.
The President informs the Hon. PAT
WALSH that much az he is interested in the
industrial progress Of Georgia. and much
as It would delight him to inspect the
pumpkins and crazy quilts at the Augusta
fair. he dare not risk the strain Of the jour
ney in the present condition Of his over
worked intellect. We quote the exact words
Of the President:
lam very busy. and take up the work OF another
winter without much rest during the summer. for
whis at the seashore the daily work OF the De-
psrtments came my desk. precisely As IL had been
hose. Every such journey a. you propose involves n
nervous strain which only be appreciated By those
who havo had much Of that sort OF thing to do
We infer from this frank declaration to
the Hon. PAT WALSH TINT the remainder Of
the canvass for second term is to be con-
Quoted from stationary headquarters In the
White House instead of from the rear plat
forms Of Pullman cars. rapidly rolling
through State after State. Gen. HARRISON
has been the most interchangeable political
traveller that ever sought denomination
for President by systematic circumvolation.
Apparently he has come to the conclusion
that the wear and tear OF the special-train
method is too great. There is something
quite pathetic In his reminder to the Hon
PAT WALSH that only those can appreciate
the nervous strain involved In the Pullman
method who have had much OF that sort Of
thing to do. The Hon. BENJAMIN HARRISON
has done o great deal OF that sort Of thing
during the past forty months.
Tho new policy Of the President In this
respect is sure to have the approval Of the
country. We suppose that from time to
time the yearning for the wild life Of the
rear platform will seize him. but he should
not yield to 1t. Let him stick to his deter
mination, to the White House. and to An
DREW CARNEaKs gracious key. no matter
how hard he has to struggle against the old
PullmaniQ.

No Chance for Jones.

Two distinguished men who now hold i'm.
portant Offices in this State have been
chosen to the Nfty-second Congress. which
meets in Washington on the first Monday
OF December next: DAVID B. Hill Of e.
mira. who will be ut liberty at that time to
take his seat as Senator Of the United
States in place Of WILLIAM NJ. EvARTs, and
ALFRED G. CHAPIN Of Brooklyn. who has
become member Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives for the Second district Of New
York in place OF DAVID A. BooDY. resigned
It is already announced that Mr.. CHAp1N
will resign the office Of Mayor Of Brooklyn
within short time. and will enter upon
the discharge Of his new duties at Washing.
ton as soon as Congress meets. Upon his
resignation Mr.. RICHARD P1cKxRnso. the
President of the Board Of Aldermen. will
become acting Mayor until the first day Of
january next, when he will be succeeded
by Mr.. BooDY. the new Mayor elect.
It IL apparently settled. however. that the
Hon. EDWARD F. JONES. Meutenant-G Cover
nor Of the State Of New York. will not be
allowed to step into the highest place Of
power at Albany even for short period. as
Alderman PIcKIR1Eo is to be permitted to
step into the highest place in Brooklyn.
On Thursday evening Governor HILL. in
a carefully worded and well-considered
speech ct Albany on the recent Democratic
victory In this State. said:
"willbs with pride and pisarurs that snaN wscon.

government no will be ably assisted BY the young and
brillisn. Lieutenant0overnor and by other state
onicers who were his associatss on the Democratic

There con hardly be any mistake about
this. It means that Governor HILL is
going to stay ut Albany until he welcomes
Mr.. FLOWER there as his successor in the
Office Of Governor. If he does that. there
Ia obviously no chance for JONES. His name
will never appear in the list Of Governors in
the Red Book.

by DR.. KELLEY has himself had any moro
misgivings az to the subject than were felt
by the unhappy Mr.. MINES. All OF them
have rejoiced In the confidence that they
were released completely and finally nom
the thraldom Of their mania; but his down.
fall and death are likely to shake that
assurance, which. OF itself. as we have said.
may be tho main cause Of their cure. II cure
IL can be called.
It Is fair to DR.. KNEtEY and It viii give
encouragement to his patients to say that
he does not claim to produce On invariable
cure. He admits that at least fivo per cent.
of those treated by him return to drink. II
the proportionate number Is five times as
much, the chances Of endurance remain
three out OF four. and that is high per-
centage. The mere ability to abstain from
the indulgence for long period fortifies
the will and strengthens the assurance, and
thereby increases the probability Of per-
manent abstinence. Whether the result is
effected by bichloride OF gold or Is only an
example OF faith cure, Of the marvellous
efficacy OF the Imagination as remedy for
nervous disorders, It cannot be made last
ing except by tho continued exercise OF the
will power OF the patient himself. It is
hardly reasonable to suppose that any doc

no may cure himself when once he has &C.
euired self-control under system Of treat

provided that he keeps himself braced up
by his will. and not by tho artificial stimu-
lants to which he had been addicted.
It would be very unfortunate II the
drunkards who believe that they have been
cured by DR.. KEEIEY's bichloride Of gold
should lose faith in his method. for 1t would
mean that they had lost the faith in them.

In the face Of this terrible doubt cast upon
the KEELEY treatment by the fall OF Mr..
MINES. there is only one course for DR..
KELLEY to pursue IL he has any concern for

has been accredited as q physician. Let him

Hustled and Plat Explain.

1t hos long been known that Gen. JAMES
WEsTCHEsTER HUsTED Is rollicking
humorist. and the explanation which he
makes to the Tribune Of tho causes OF the
fall Of FAssETT IL Enthusiastically playful.
Says JAMES WEsTCHRsTRR:
1--WE have met the enemy and We are theirs but the
why are theirs 10 simply because they sent
into each Assembly district at least $4,000 and In
some cases much more. BESIDES this lavish OF
money general distribution each Democratic can
didsts for the Assembly and for the Senate received
money to help in his individual campaign know this
was done. and IL cannot be contradicted."
The conception that tho Democratic cam.
paign expenses amounted to. soy, two or
three millions Is eminently Hustedian and
cheerful. Defeat writes no wrinkles on that
marble top. The Joke would have been even
better IL Mr.. Hustled had said that the
Democrats sent q million dollars into every
Assembly district. The size OF the Demo-
cratic majority he could thus have ex-
planned as being the result OF the excessive
ness of the sinews Of war.
This sort Of talk does very well for Gen.
Hustled. who is not accepted and probably
would not care to DO accepted as serious
parsonage. But the Hon. THOMAS CoLLIER

OF an experienced politician. 1t Is true that
Mr.. PtATT cannot give In public the real
