The Democratic papers of New York are
trying to create prejudice against mr.. Fas-
sett by seeking to throw upon him and his
party the responsibility for New York's fail
ure to get the Worlds Fair. The effort is
insincere and dishonest. 1t Is perfectly we'll
understood in New York that the reason
New York did not get the fair and Chicago
did was because the former was lukewarm
in the matter while the latter was dead in
earnest. The truth is the business men and
capitalists of the empire state did not really
want the fair. State pride induced them or
some Of them, to favor the selection Of the
metropolis In sort of perfunctory way, but
the vigorous effoit which they would have
made had they been really in earnest was
lacking. There is no doubt that the people of
the city of New York are congratulatlng them
selves today that they are not being bored for
contributions as are the people of Chicago,
and II they should be convinced that Mr..
Fassett was partly responsible for the selec-
ton CT Chicago we are inclined to think that
feeling of gratitude toward him rather
than resentment would be the result.

The use Of the appropriation for the reform
school for the rebuilding of the cottage
that was destroyed by fire will not be
defensible except upon the ground of
stern necessity. 1t was appropriated
for a specific purpose which purpose
was not the erection of a building.
The question for the executive committee to
determine is whether the necessity is suffi-
GENTLY urgent to justify them in diverting it
from the exact purpose for which 1t was ap-
propriated to one that is cognate to 1t. The
cottage was originally built for the purpose
Of trying Esystem which prevails in many
other states and which Is believed to be, and
doubtless is, in many respects superior to the
method that has been in vogue in this State.
1t can hardly be asserted that the cot
tage was erected to meet an imperative
necessity, and therefore II is difficult
to see how its re-erection can be placed
on that ground. 1t would be. we believe, of
much advantage to have the cottage rebuilt,
but 1t is very doubtful If the conditions are
such as to justify the council in rebuilding
1t without an express authorization from the
legislature in the shape Of special appro.
priation by the legislature.

pepositors BLOCKING Into Kingston

KINGSTON, n. Y, Oct. 5-As expected
the city is rapidly filing up with people
from all over the county who are deposi
tors in the three city savings banks. Bust
ness is at standstill, and crowds stand all
over discussing the wrecking Of the Ulster
County Savings institution. The Kingston
Savings bank and the Rondout Savings
bank have each posted notices notifying
depositors the sixty days notice required
by law must be given. Large crowds of
depositors with bank books in hand stand
in front Of these institutions. By noon
the block wherein the banks, court house
and jail are situated was filed with deposi-
tors. There was a report of a large mum
Der Of men coming from Creek Locks and
for this reason the Fourteenth Separate
company was ordered to be held in readi-
ness for service.
Ostrander and Trumpbour were ar.
ranged this morning. They waived ex-
animation and were bound over to await
the action of the grand jury next week.

To-DAY's GAME.
This afternoon another ball game comes
off. This time the Denvers will have for
their opponents the nine from Fort Doug
las. 1t is sure to be an exciting contest, as
the boys at the fort are in fue shape, hav-
ing been prscticing every day for the last
two weeks.
Ladies will be admitted free, and it is safe
TO presume that there will be large attend
snce. This is as it should be, as in all the
eastern cities the ladies are great patrons
of the game.
The game yesterday was won by the
home club and we are of the opinion that
the presence Of great number of ladies in
the grand stand contributed in no small
way to the success of the Salt Lake nine
Our boys did themselves proud and put
up great game and from present indica-
tions the game to-day will be quite as
interesting.
The Fort Douglas club will have as their
battery Sommers and Dunn, their crack
pitcher and catcher.
The Denvers will use Horton to pitch,
and have Boyne as catcher; ii is safe to
say that there will not be many runs scored
by either side.
Following is the list Of the players and
the positions they will occupy:

due Dick took the third heat in . :46.
A sad incident occurred in the fourth heat
which marred the pleasure OF the day. Lady
May, Mr.. Strrbuck's fine brood mare, had
been forcing the pace, and soon after she
reached the last half she dropped dead on
the track, her driver, Hitchcock,
being thrown from the sulky on
top of the PROSTATE animal, Dick X. came
on in ahead, tieing honors with Blue Cloud,
each horse having two heats to his credit.
The finish was postponed until to-day,
when there will be in addition five eighth

and Parthen are entered
Riley X, Elder Lucas aud lacey are
entered for the 20 pace.
In the three minute trot Lloyd, Leck

AS barefooted boy nearly thirty hree
years ago he witnessed the ceremony at
tending the raising of the first struc-

There is a broad

division into Conservatives or Catho-
lies, as some of them prefer to style
themselves, Liberals and Radicals, but
the lines OF demarkation between these
are vague, and do not hinder the tenn
porary fusion of groups from each
party.
The Montevaristas, for instance. who
prefer to carry out the program set by
the two statesmen whose conjoined
names they have adopted as theirs, con-
stitute formidable item in the political
balance-sbeet.
Thus the present President, Senior Bal

solely to the influence Of his prede-
cessor, Senior Domingo Santa Maria.
whose "warming-pan," to use the local
phrase, he was understood to be, and in
whose favor he was to retire at the close
OF his term Of Office.
But it happened that. instead of
keeping faithfully to the terms of this
contract, Senior Balmaceda thought it
might be more advantageous to put in
"warming-pan" on his own account
For this purpose he made a choice
nearly two years ago Of Senior Enrique
Sanfuentes, then member of his Cab
met and understood to be pledged to

The Constitution, it is true prohib-
tied :: statesman from filling the Presi-
Dental Office for two consecutive terms,
but there was no proviso to hinder him
from reoccupying it as often as he could
at intervals Of four years.
Hence the practice grew up of re-
firing President nominating a depend
ent as his successor, and eNerting the
whole of his influence TO secure his re-
turn, on the understanding. OF course,
that this courtesy should be recipro-
Gated at the close OF the nominees term
OF Office.
Such result was by no means so diff
cult as might have been expected in a
country where universal suffrage nomi-
nally prevails, owing to the enormous
administrative power centered in the
President through his creatures holding
local offices, the ignorance of the mass
of voters, and the want of cohesion
among his opponents, however numer-
Gus they might be.
For, as the statesman already referred
to remarked, every Deputy represents
a different shade CT political opinion

tarv eminence III his own country than
to playing the part OF nabob IN Paris,
like 80 many of his kind from Peru,
Brazil or the Argentine.
The chief political prize is, OF course,
the Presidency, and the value and I'M
portance of this position have enor-
mously increased by the result OF the
successful contest waged with Peru.
Prior to that the relative poverty OF
the country restricted the amount OF
official patronage at the disposal OF the
OCCUPANT of the Presidential seat, and
much work, especially Of Legislative
and locally administrative character,
was bone by men of high position out OF
public spirit or from justitiable desire
for popular distinction.
But with the acquisition of the guano
deposits, coded as war indemnity, and
of the wealthy provinces of Autofa-
gasta, Tarapaca and Tacna, with their
nitrate deposits, yielding an enormous
annual revenue in the shape of export
duty, the condition Of political affairs
was greatly altered.
Government posts Of every kind We're
multiplied and salaries augmented,
while on the principle ofsupply and de-
mand large body of professional poll
ticians, notably recruited from among
university students and barristers, sprang
up to take advantage Of this. These
drifting into the Chamber formed a
number of small groups with members
mainly united by self-interest.
Presidents, too, realizing the en-
HANGED value of the patronage at their
disposal, and the opportunities this at
forded of at one and the same time re-
warding their followers, and constituting
q body of functionaries devoted to their
interests found reason for continuing
as far as possible in Office, and a means
OF bringing this result about.

There is much truth in this observa-

SMar,ns OF Suics.

It is estimated by all eminent statis-
tician that there are now employed in
various parts of Europe and America at
least 100000 Russian spies. No one
who reads second-rate English novels
can doubt that Europe swarms with
Russian spies, and there are few
Russians of either sex, residing outside
of Russia, who have not been suspected
by the cooks or house-maids OF being
spies. 1t now appears that Mr.. George
KEENAN,, who is lecturing in the United
States, is constantly followed by de-
tachment OF Russian spies, whose pres
ence prevents him from making the
blood-curdling revelations that he would
otherwise make. Everybody knows
that the Russian Government lives in
deadly terror OF Mr.. KEENAN,, and the
presence OF Russian spies at his lectures
IS generally thought to be an additional
proof Of the fact. Still, it is possible that
Mr. kennan is mistaken in supposing
that spies are at present logging his
footsteps The Russians whom he be-
haves to be spies may be criminals of
exceptional atrocity, who have been
condemned by a cruel government to
expiate their crimes by attending a
series Of Mr.. Remnants lectures Cruel
and unusual punishments are, however,
forbidden by the Constitution of the
United States, and the so-caIled spies
ought TO be informed that while they
are IN America not even the Gar can
compel them to undergo Mr.. Remnants
lectures.-Nelr YORK. Herald

T,lleyrand's opinion of a Duke.


[Talleyrand paints terrible picture
Of the Duke of Orleans, grandfather OF
Louis Philippe, and great grandfather
Of tbe Count of Paris. He seems 10
have been intimate with him before ana
during the Constituent Assembly, and
ha describes him as destitute OF ability,
IGNORANT to the verge Of illiteracy, with,
ont heart and without principle. All
his actions had the characteristics OF
thouehtlessness, frivolity, and trlckery.'
In this sketch for the first time, occurs
q significant gap, for which the editors
offer no explanation, excepting that
"Here eight pages are missing III inc

five wears duration, he displayed the
most heartess indine Ance at the death
of one of his principal hobit1'es, the
MARQUIS de CONTAINS, man always re.
markable, frs. by his handsome cast OF
features, his noble bearing, his gait, his
Skill and also by his faults when he
kept evil company, by his qualities
when among military men, by the
accuracy of his judgement when lie
spoke OH serious matters and, at every
period in his life, by the frankness OF
his tastes, his feelings, and his hatreds
On the day of his death, he was
to dine, with the Duke OF Orleans and
several others, at NJ. de Birons, at
Montrouge. They were all waiting for
him-the Duke more impatiently than
the rest, as he wanted to go to the theater.
AT 4 o'clock, the company being all
together, one of M. de CONTAINS ser
wants arrived with the news that he had
just died. Every person in the room,
according to his more or less intimate
acquaintance with M. de Contains, ex.
pressed his sympathy. The only words
the Duke of Orleans pronounced We're:
well, Lauzun. as we are no longer eX-
pecting any one, let us go on with our
dinner SO that we can get to the opera
in time for the beginning.
After the instructions he gave to his
bail,wicks, the Duke of Orleans ceased
to ba al active political parsonage; his
weak character and his equivocal, dis
quoting position were obstacles to his
becoming one again. After the crime
he committed by his vote. he was hence
forth without purpose or aim nobody
he remained in the rank and file, and
as that was not his place, he became 6

tion?--Ce,atu1y.

The Eirst Treatise on school ECONOMY.

The First Treatise School Economy.
Christopher Dock. who in lao taught
school at Germantown, was the author
of thei first book in school economy
ever published in America. He was
noted for his purity Of life and sweet
ness Of temper. 1t is told that once two
men were talking together Of him, and
one said that he had never been known
to show the slightest anger. The other
replied that, perhaps, his temper had
,, not been tested. Presently when Dock
came along he reviled him fercely, BIT
terly and profanely. The Only reply
made by Dock was: Friend, may the
Lord have mercy upon thee. ".Dock was
Mennonite, and taught school in 1888,
in Stafford and Skippaclz, three days of
each week alternately.
In 1850 Christopher Saur, the pub
Usher, by the way the ancestor Of the
Sower, now Of the Christopher Sower
Publishing Company in Philadelphia,
conceived the idea that n. description Of
Docks methods of teaching should be
published. But Dock was too modest
/ to permit the treatise which he had
written to appear in public in his life
time, and hence the work was not pub
lished till after Docks death in ITO.
The title of the book is: Zine einfael-
