was committed, was condoned by the

LET Dir. HARRISON TRY KICKING
NEW YORK

Matters promise to be lively in New
York city on election day. The Federal
authorities declare they will force their
election marshals inside the ratings Of
the polling places, where they are for
hidden TO come by the State laws. and
the officers Of the State OF New York
declare they will eject them and arrest
them II they attempt to enter in defiance
Of the State law. We may, therefore,
have a very pretty little controversy of
it. We can but regard this impending
clash Of authority as one OF the most
fortunate circumstances that could have
arisen. The act of Congress under which
the marshals are intended to act Is part
of the reconstruction legislation Of TWEEN
ty-ive years back. 1t was intended for
the South alone, but, being general in its
terms, the Republicans find 1t broad
enough to authorize the measures by
which they hope and intend to disfran-
chise New York city. The people Of the
North are, therefore, aroused by the inn
pending clash TO appreciation Of the fact
that if a Force bill is once put upon the
statute book, though aimed now exclu-
sively at the South. it will be mercilessly
applied by the Republican party to any
part of the North at any time when their
necessities in an election call for its APP
pncation. The Force bill is thus brought
home to the people of the North. and
they are taught by this incident the jeop-
ardy in which their liberties and rights
now stand
An interesting question in this connec-
ton is, VIII Mr.. Harrison dare attempt
to enforce the act of Congress in New
York city in opposition to the contest
which New York will make against 1t?
He would boot Virginia or South Caro-
lima, not only without hesitation, but
with a malignant and deviish delight.
But what Will he do to New York?
That is a very different question.
Gentle reader we will tell you what he
will do with New York. He will do as
all DULLES do. He will buster and foam
at the mouth until he sees that the
authorities of New York mean business,
when he will suddenly 80 into the White
House and pull the White House in after
him. He will be like the man who went
hunting the grizzly bear. He tracked him
over mountain and across dale, and at
the end of the third day he suddenly quit.
Being asked why. he said: 1.-THE trail
was getting too fresh
Mr.. Harrison may try to boot Virginia,
but will he dare trying to boot New York?

ELE ZION RETURNS.

The Times has made every arrange
ment for securing the earliest and fullest
returns of the election next Tuesday
night. OF course every man and woman,
and every child of from twelve years of
age up, in the city, will feel interested
In knowing, at the earliest possible mo-
ment, who will be the President of the
United States during the next four years.
To crafty this natural curiosity The
Times has arranged to exhibit the re-
turns from its office in a manner that
has never been excelled, if equalled, in
Richmond. An expert has been engaged.
who. with the aid Of flrst-class stereop-
ticon and an electric light. will keep the
crowds who will gather in front OF the
Office fully informed of each return as
II comes in. and in the intervals between
the returns entertaining pictures will be
shown. which will prevent the time from
tagging heavily. We anticipate hearing
many shout Of gladness go up Tuesday
night as the wires bring in the news in
dicating the triumph ant election Of the
grandest American OF this age-Grover
Cleveland.

Comic Orator Depew, with bis Rigol-
ictte grin. gives this explanation of the
very high compliment he paid Mr.. Cleve-
land, when he had no idea he would be
the Democratic nominee for President.
He said in speech at Buffalo on Thurs
day:
II was a private dinner. No reporters
were present. Mr. Cleveland was there.
So vas General sherman, Thomas Mast,
Mark Twain and others.
When the dinner was over the host
asked him to deliver a speech. He con-
scented, and as he always had an unlimited
amount Of taffy on hand. ne proceeded
to apply it unstntedly to the dstin-
guished gentlemen present, and when he
felt that he had caused as much hap
piness among them as they could stand
he sat down.
He then added
But III tell you what I'm going to do.
Six weeks from now there Will be din
ner at Delmonicos. l will be there and
50 will Mr. Cleveland. The Democratic
candidate will probably by that time
have recovered from the fall he will get
on election day sufficiently to be out
On that occasion I will pour so much taffy
over Mr.. Cleveland that the most en-
thusiastic Democrat will say: when
Mr.. Cleveland dies, this last speech Of
Depew's shall be his epitaph."
What influence does this Prince OF
Harlequins suppose he can exercise on
popular thought with these open declara-
lions that he is never serious or candid
and sincere about anything?
A few days back he made speech in
New York, in which he said the McKin~
ley bill had caused an importation Of
500, 100000 of gold into this country dur
ing the past year. Luckily the report OF
the Director Of the Mint has just been
published and he states that all exporta-
tions Of gold for the past year amounted
to s5O,305, 53S, while the imports of gold
amounted to s5O,l62,SS. net loss Of sl42,-
654. We suppose Depew would say in
answer to this that he never talks seri-
ously and his statement was expected to
be taken as a jest.

hilton. or lust, misanfhropy. philanthropy.
or plety. or the general heroics that pos
sesses them. one thing is certain, that they
are. for practical purposes. stupid ana
blind and no charm will wake them.
But these. for the most part, are mega
tive They don't do any harm. They
enjoy themselves, and other people amuse
themselves with them; and the general
world works them off. as healthy
stomach gets rid OF foreign matter. This
kind are not bad nuisances.
But the positive fool is quite another
part of speech. The great leader OF this
army was Napoleon Bonaparte, though
many distinguished ones lived before him.
His great achievement was in desolaung
a continent, and finally leading three
hundred thousand poor fellows into Rus
STA TO die OF cold ami ztarvation, while he
and his heaviest artillery fed before 1.-The
beautiful snow" The fact Is. Napoleon
was the worlds fool. He makes us all
feel wiser in comparison with him. just
as the court testers of old would make
those absurd old barons feel better. as
II the fools concentrated all the folly OF
the occasion.
Still we have an abundance OF common
positive fools. These thrust themselves
on us. They "say TO every man that they
are FOOLS" They exalt folly. They make
much Of trihes. They walk big and talk
big and insist that they are something
wien they are nothing. They are for
Setting the world to rights" They must
play the part of reformers. They must
make their mark and fix their own
brands or trade marks conspicuously on
all their products.
1t is bad enough to be fool, but TO be
a positive, offensive one will not do at
all. And society's consolation in these
burning and shining lights is that they
soon burn out, or, vulgarly. play out"
1t Is in strange, wonderful and beauti-
ful contrast with all this that the worlds
hope and ideal stands before us, despised
and rejected Of men. without form or
corneliness, neither striving nor crying
nor lifting up his voice, but making
himself Of no reputation and taking the
form of a servant, TO magnify the law
and make it honorable. absolute life,
absolute unselhshness, perfect wisdom.

POSITIVE d NJ " w FOOLS

POSITIVE ID NJ NJ w FOOLS.
A great deal depends upon the way
thirgs are put, ard en- their everlasting
fitness. l. would never do for a body OF
highly cultivated gentlemen In cathe-
dral to say. all together: I'VE are
pretty lot of fools" But when they
change the fern of expression and in a
solemn and digniied way unbosom them
selves, saying: 1--WE have left undone
those things which we ought to have
DONE and we have done these things
which we ought not to have done" the
case looks difference; they seem to be
confoi ming to the fashion, keeping up to
the style, and to be all right. Still, ac-
cording to the general understanding,
they are only owning up that they have
been making fools Of themselves, mega
lively and positively, and that means
orthodox, regular fools. ssch as Solomon
talks 50 much about, and did not seem
to like al although he got at last TO
be one of them. Other parts of the Book
Of Common Prayer are in accord with
Shakespeare. who gives 1t as his opinion:
use every man according to his deserts,
and who'll escape a threshing?" and
Burns. who tells his young friend, You'll
find mankind an unco squad"
1t is We'll to make these observations.
because when you talk about fools some
one is apt to take oifense and think you
mean him, when you don't. And when
high authority in the Church and in the
world gathers near about all of us under
the same category you are in less dam
ger OF hurting anybodys feelings. when
you discuss this delicate subject. Farther
the Objectionable fool Is not the man
that was poorly favored by nature. but
that other third degree. that deliberately
and industriously makes himself of that
sort and seems to enjoy It,
Apooglzing. then. we say that there are
plainly, under the general head two
kinds Of fools--the positive and the mega
tiye-as set forth in the general confess
sion The negative fool is OF the kind
specially referred to in the Castle Of
Incidence" and Home Of Sloth" and
other fine references. If we mistake not
even as far back as Virgil or Homer. In
more modern times these fellows are de-
scribed as sleeping with their eyes open"
like old hares; or as absent-mInded. Nay,
sometimes, they are loaded down and
benumbed With learning, and. like the
Jumping Frog Of Calaveras. they are so
weighted down with lore that they have
not particle of live sense or small
change learning for everyday uses. Then
they may be blind with self-conceit, and
brimfui. over their eyes aud ears. with
themselves. Whether 1t be avarlce. am
