REPUBLICAN VICTORIES IN NEW YORK.
ALBANY Journall
The Republican victory In Batavia and
Cooperstown yesterday, like that In Oneonta
the day before, was complete. The political
tide Is running strongly In the direction of
Republicanism, throughout interior New
York; and the election of Republican
Governor and legislature next November, Is
now admitted even by the Democratic lead
ers, as among the probabilities of the future.
SPEAKER REED.
[Ex-Congressman Moore OF New Hampshire
Every man on the Democratic side knows
that no ADLER man ever occupied the Speak
er's chair. The men who have watched Mr..
Reed for two years cannot be mistaken as to
his ability. Through all these weary days
ana months he has been as punctual as the
clock. BE has not lost a week in the two
sessions He has never lost his temper how
eyer exasperating or turbulent the situation.
His poise and GOODNESS are remarkable. He
has never failed to decide point Of order
with such clearness and exactness as to dis
arm all opposition. Again and again he has
silenced the most captious Of Democrats by
the sheer force and precision of his state
ment. bis rulings have never been over
ruled. !. No man ever maintained the
dignity Of his Office with more faultless de-
corum. OF all the men called to the
chair in the last two years he alone could
command the House at all times and under
all circumstances. We doubt If there is
a anoa man IN America who could have
faults, Thomas b. Reed is big, brave,
brainy, and honest man. He will be heard
from again. Among $50 men he will easily
be number one, and 1t will make very little
difference whether the majority is Demo
cratic or Republican. Where McGregor sits
there will be the head of the table. Wait

SUNSHINE LAND.
BY EDITH THOMAS.

They came in sight of a lovely shore,
Yellow as gold in the morning light;
The SUMS own color at noon il wore,
And had faded not at the fall OF night;
Clear weather or cloudy-twas all as one,
The happy hills seemed bathed with the sun;
Its secret the sailors could not understand,
But they called the country Sunshine Land.
What was the secret? A simple thing
1t will make you smile when once you know
Touched by the tender finger of spring,
A million blossoms were all aglow;
80 many. SO many, SO small and bright,
They covered the hills with mantle of light;
And the wild bee hummed, and the glad bieez
famed
Through the honeyed field of Sunshine Land.
IL over the sea we two were bound.
What port, dear child, weuld we choose TO
ours?
We would sail and sail till at last we found
This fairy gold of million flowers.
Yet, darling, we'd find, If at home we stayed,
OF many and small joys our pleasures are made.
More near than we think-yery close at hand
Lie the golden fields Of Sunshine LAID.

Ohio and Georgia was Of the same kind. Watch

Prof Ely found that the taxing officers Of Georgia
were most assidu0us and conscientious In the dis
charge OF their onerous duties.
And the Post Igoes on to say that there
should be an attempt to lead the state Of
New York to revert to an exploded, in
quisitorial. and futile system Of taxation
whose only effect will be to put people to
endless trouble and multiply perjury, Is
something astonishing. and hardly credible. -

There Is some talk Of the Senate's amend
ing the Clason bill SO that it will apply only
to cities, and passing 1t in that shape and
sending 1t to the House, where In this modi-
fed form 1t is thought that 1T would have a
chance Of passage. We are inclined to think
that the majority of the friends Of the Aus
tralian system will not look upon the scheme
with favor. Applied to the cities only the
system would amount to very little. Let the
matter rest until the next legislature meets,
Then. ei.belieye, public sentiment will be
so overwhelmingly for it that bill can be
passed applying to the whole State, ex
cepting perhaps the plantations. where the
number of votes is very small. There is
nothing to be gained by stirring the matter
Up again before this legislature.

In.about two weeks the sugar schedules of
the Mckinley bill viii go into effect. and
raw sugar be admitted free. The duties on
raw sugar at present range from one and
two-hfths to two and three-quarters cents
pound. and they have yielded to the coun.
try an annual revenue of $4,000. 1000. The
operation of the Mckinley sugar schedule
ought to cheaper sugar to the American
people by pretty nearly this amount. After
they hayegone into effect it ought to be pos
sible to buy granulated sugar at five or five
and half cents pound.

We hope every Republican in Portland is
fully aroused to the Importance Of the contest
Of next Monday and the need of every Re-
publican going to the polls and voting for
the Hon. George W. True. The contest is
not simply to determine whether Mr.. True
or Mr.. Ingraham shall be the next mayor of
Portland, though were that all there was
to 1t there would be abundant reasons why
Mr.. True should be elected. The contest is
far more important than that. 1t is In fact
contest between the reputable and disrep-
utable elements of Portland's population for
the control Of the chief executive office Of
the city. OF course we do not mean to say
that no reputable men are going to vote for
Mr..Ingraham. No doubt great many will
do SO. But we do say that the whole liquor
league Of Portland is solid for him and is ex-
erting all its influence and spending its
money to bring about his election. We do
not charge that Mr.. Ingraham has made any
trade with these people for their support.
Probably the chief motive for their
exertions Is to demonstrate their
power In municipal politics. If Mr..
Ingraham is elected they will claim. and
rightly, that it was largely through their
efforts, and their influence in politics will he
greatly strengthened. If, on the other hand.
they are defeated, their influence in politics
will vanish. The opportunity is now before
the people of Portland to entirely eliminate
the liquor men, as an organization, from
municipal politics. Will the reputable peo-
pie Of the city seize it?

Ex-Representative Niedringhaus of Mis-

when the duty on tin plate takes effect, they
will sell their product here at the price at
which 1t now sells. duty paid-that is, that
the English manufacturer of tin plate will
pay to the American government the $24
ton additional duty, and the American con-
sumer will pay no more for the English plate
than he paid before the duty was placed on
it. This is what Mr.. Mckinley predicted
when the tariff bill was under discussion,

1t is stated that the counsel for the direct
OTIS Of the New York, New Haven & Hart
ford railroad will claim that the corporation
and not the directors individually, is sub
ject to Indictment In case any statute has
been violated. The counsel understands
that the district attorney holds that the di
rectors can be indicted for manslaughter or
the ground that they ran their cars Will
stoves in them in violation Of law, and that
the loss Of life in the tunnel accident was
due to that violation. The defense claims
that no director was engaged In the COM
mission of an unlawful act and cases are
cited to show that it is only when an affirma-
tive act has been committed, like making a
dividend when there are no profits, that any
claim of personal responsibility could be en-
forced.

There seems to be no good reason to antiei-
pate any serious objection to the ratification
of the arrangement recently made with the
United States by the Brazilian Congress.
There is some opposition to 1t, stirred up
largely by English merchants, but 1t will
probably not amount to much. Neither is
there much dagger that Brazil will make
similar arrangements with other countries,
and thus nullify the advantage we get under
the treaty. for. as the Boston Advertiser
points out, the Spanish Americas can not
afford to make any tariff reductions further
than those granted the United States as the
decrease in revenue, caused by the reciprocal
treaties with this country, will be SO great
that the remainder Of the customs receipts
would be absolutely necessary for the cur
rent expenses of those governments.

Can the President appoint the circuit
judges provided for by the new court bill
while the Senate is not in session is a
question which is creating considerable dis.
cussion and being answered In opposite
ways. some of the constitutional lawyers of
the Senate holding one way and some the
other. The New York Sun has been look
ing up the authorities on the subject and
finds apparently that the weight of opinion
is against the right of appointment before
the Senate convenes Judge Story's lam
guage is that ''if the Senate are in session
when offices are created by law, and nomin-
ations are not made to them by the Presi-
dent, he cannot appoint to such offices dur
ing the recess of the Senate, because va
cancy does not happen" Opinions of
Roger B. fancy while Attorney General In
1882, from Attorney General Legare in 1884.
and Attorney General Mason in ls45 are all
