it Is but fair to say that they are not moro

tries. It's continuance depends upon the

A CLEAN CAMPAIGN.

THE HERALD has one request to make.
and that is, that the campaign in which we
are now engaged shall be conducted along
the lines OF decency. In the past there
has been entirely too much that was ugly.
vicious and indecent in the local political
contests; too much blackguardism, too
much name-calling, too much dirt-hinging.
Some candidates have been terrorized BY
the harshness of the assaults upon them /:
some have been made mad by the abuse
some have been scandaiZed before the
community. We submit that this was all
wrong in the past, and its repetition
would be doubly wrong. The Demo
cratic party has been careful to
name men Tor the various offices
to be filed who are personally unassailable.
All the nominees stand high in the com
munity socially and otherwise They
are all recognized as good men. Their
lives have been open to the public and are
known to all. In making up these tickets
the party set worthy example and gave
notice that inasmuch as il had named no
unclean men it desired clean and reput-
sble campaign.
In two weeks the contest will end. the
decision being given. Assuredly men should
he able to keep their tempers two weeks.
Some Of the foul mouthed and abusive will
undoubtedly go upon the stump, but the
managers should be able to hold them in
check and impress upon them the fact
that cause which has to be bolstered by
blackguardism and calling must he
in bad way.
If at the termination of the campaign the
men viii have nothing to reproach them
selves, II the decencies ana proprieties
have not been shocked, all will confess that
a mighty revolution has been wrought, and
all will rejoice. The battle is one for prin-
ciple and let Us fight it with that fact in
view

KNOWLEDGE OF HISTORY.

The other day twenty five newspaper re.
porters were sent out by New York paper
to ask representative business men these
simple questions: Who was President of
the United States in 1s40l in 1S3Os in 1864
in ls20s in 1902 in 1925 in 1900 in 1s45g in
1864 in 1885! The result was astonishing.
The eminent orator and statesman, CHAuN-
CEr M. DEPEw, who is supposed to have
all the facts Of American history at his
tongues end, returned incorrect replies.
So did RESELL SAGE, who has lived SO
long and been so prominent in the affairs of
the nation, that one would think that he
could answer these questions as readily as
the ordinary man could name the mayors
of the city in which he had resided
during the years he had lived there.

abolition of the secret session. A rule per-

THE -Four hundred of New York and the
Four hundred Of Boston have come into
collision. OF the latter is Mrs. G. w.
WALES, who owns a mansion on Beacon
hill, and summer cottage at Newport
AS she was not going to occupy the cottage
this summer she leased it for the season to-
Mr.. w. X. VANDERBILT for 8, 600, assum
ing, as matter of course, that he would
occupy it Instead, however, the WANDER
BILTs took the adjoining cottage, which is
more pretentious, and installed their
twenty servants in the WALES domicile.
And there is where the trouble comes in.
Mrs. WALES objects to the turning of her
house into servants quarters, considering
the act not merely personal insult but a
dissertation Of her property, and
she has instructed her attorneys to
bring suit for the recovery Of
procession of the cottage. Meantime
Mir. VANDERBILT says that having leased
the house and paid the rent he will put the
house to any use which suits hin. What
fact that some of the New York papers are
saying that one of the Boston four hun
dred's cottages is none too good for the
servants of a member of the New York
four hundred, there being just about that
difference in the social standing of the two
classes. The merry war is amusing, and
everybody is eager that 1t shall be fought
to finish. just to see how Boston ana New
York society is rated, iudicially.
