Only year ago no men were more popu-

HEA1I. They might have walked safely from
Kerry to Donegal without Q stick. and have
been disturbed only by tho noise OF fife and
drums and the cheers Of tho people. Their
only enemies In ireland then we're the police:
now they are under police protection The man

Only the Secretary for ireland himself or the

hoped to find on Sunday. or ut least on Mon

confess our disappointment. Although
there was plenty Of evidence Of u careful
perusal of THE Sun OF Saturday, the only
editorial remark bearing remotely upon
this subject. so important to the Tribanes
reputation for sincerity and good faith. was
contained in the following line:
"Tuy suS is always entertaining"

be susceptible Of proof. but we submit that
1t is very unsatisfactory reply to a chal-
lenge of the accuracy Of the Tribune's as
sertion that I'VE New York ethyl have now

the annual sum OF $3.50 is drawn from the

Therefore The Sun asks the Tribune, In
return for the entertainment which 1t says
1t derives from these columns. In common
with hundreds Of thousands Of other readers.
to favor us with square and direct answer
to this plain question: Where or how does
tho Tribune obtain the figures $3.50 as the

Nobody awaits the 1fibune's reply with

This year has proved a poor one for the
Labrador cod fisheries. and the September
gales supplied all the misfortune needed to
complete tho seasons failure. Nine-tenths Of
these poor fishermen come from the west side
OF Newfoundland. and as they are not per-
mitted to fish on their own coast. owing to the
treaty between England and France. they be-
come nomads in summer. cross the straits to
Labrador. and until tho season closes sail
along that shore catching cod. Their women
and children 60 with them to Labrador. and
they all return to Newfoundland at the close of
the fishing season. Their comforts are meagre
enough in any year. for the most prosperous
OF them live in cabins which are doubtless in
ferior in comfort to many Of the homes OF saw
ages. and such a bad season as they have had
this summer greatly intenslaes their hard lot.

A Disgrace to the Democratic Ticket.

Mr.. ID. CADY HERRIcK OF Albany should
either resign as member OF the Demo-
cratic State Committee. or withdraw as
candidate for Justice OF the Supreme Court.
Any statement OF tho alternative less
blunt than this is inadequate. There is no
need for periphrase when the demands OF
candidate for a judicial and non-partisan
Office Is so obvious.
The indecency Of Mr.. HERRIcK's position
amounts to a scandal. Every day that finds
him still holding on to Office as manager
OF partisan politics while asking votes as
candidate for the bench OF tho Supreme
Court adds evidence of his unfitness for
the latter post.
