THE DEUOCR4TIC CONVENTION.

There would be exceptional fitness in sum
monlng the Democratic party OF the United
States to meet in National convention ut New
York. This city makes that party possible has
kept it alive, feeds it, and enables
the State 10 furnish it more electoral
votes than any other State cast, and more
than any two Democratic States, has supplied
it with Presidential candidates ever since 1860,
and with leadership, brains and management for
the only victories il has won in thirty years
The place for scrfs to assemble is indisputably
at the stronghold of their lord and master The
one man who rules Tammany with an iron hand
now offers the Democratic party defeat rs tho
penalty Of disobedience, and victory as the re-
ward OF submission to his wishes, and if he re-
scnbles that other parsonage who once offered
all the Kingdoms of this world when he did not
own foot Of it, the Democrats have until the
first Of November TO detect the resemblance.
Senator Bricc is quoted as saying that he thinks
well of Mr. Cleveland but that recent events in
New \ DIRK have put an entirely new face on tho
situation, and has shown that one man carries
the electoral vote OF New York in his vest-pocket
Ihls Is truly political sagacty of the rainbow
chasing variety. Yet Mr.. Brcc presumably has
somewhat the same understanding of the situa-
ton that other Democratic leaders have. For
others are mpidly coming to the conclusion that
ii Hill says Stand and deliver" they will have
to turn their pockets inside out at once. Hills
speeches disgust them his shameless acts appear
to them heavy load to carry his relations with
Tammany and its despotism and its frauds are
hard to swallow; he gets small credit for having
any beliefs or opinions worth the name. But if
the nomination of anybody else means loss of
New York the very hungry and very thirsty
party will consider the matter
1t appears to Mr.. Brice that far-off st. Paul
might not have congcnial climate for Governor
Hills aspirations. Probably he is right. And
it may be doubted whether any other place will
be satisfactory to him, where the people of the
rural districts are likely to gather in great mum.

Throughout the last West Coast war there
were three regular torpedo-launches at |apa-
raise. but no use was made of them, apparently
because they were rot fit for cruising along
the nitrate coast with the Imperial. The Aldea

the water and having high speed These
launches would be more dangerous antagonists
owing to the difficulty of sighting and hitting
them, especially at night The utility Of craft
of this kind in naval warfare is still to be de-
monstrated; but it is not probable that with It's

with due diligence on the part OF commanding
officers the fleet would be exposed to serious
danger from them.

Fighting joe AspinalI, the Republican SEN
ator from Brooklyn, justified his sobriquet by the
plucky stand which he made last night against
Lieutenant-G Governor Sheehan. 1t is wonder
that the domineering majority did not pillory
him as tiey did Senators Saxt0n, Erwin and
O'Connor last week The fact is, Mr.. Aspinalrs
resolution offered the Democrats comfortable
way out OF the embarrassment resulting from
their ill-c0nsidefed action But they were not
wise enough to "take occasion by the hand"
the Brooklyn Senator'S conduct, however, serves
notice upon them that the Republican minority
are not to be browbeaten and budozed with i'm
punity.

CONVENTION BLUNDERs.
The Matter OF Selling Dates Not

vention at Minneapolis June Their

as the only dates on which halfrate
tickets to the convention could be sold.
This, it WAS discovered, would not give
delegates sufficient tin e for preliminary
work before the opening of the cOnven-
ton, and proposition was Subl3itted
by the chairman to the members to
amend their former action by making
the date OF sale from June to June
inclusive. Strange to say one or more
of the roads voted against this PROPOSE
ton and it was defeated. General Pas

matter will again be brought up at the
March meeting OF the association.
The opposition lines are not known TO
the chairman. Rumor points to the
Santa Fe, Wabash and Missouri Pacific.
Their opposition to doing anything for
she convention more than seemed tech
nically necessary has shown itself ever
since the announcement was made that
Minneapolis had secured the prize.
They are SAID to be jealous of the Chi
cago-St. Paul lines, and have permitted
their ill-feeling to crop out when the

A PRINCELY ROGUE.
Ali Khan Sued by a Victim for
Breach of Promise.

Breach of Promise.
LONDON, Feb. Miss Florence
Nash, pretty young girl, only severn
teen years of age, has sued Ali Khan,
the son of distinguished Indian prince,
for breach of promise of marriage. The
case came up for hearing today. The
fascinating plaintiff took the stand and
poured out her woes to the sympathetic
court. Miss Nash said that Ali Khan
had, from the first time they met. treat
ed her with much attention, and that he
had taken her to many places of amhSe-
ment. Finally, she said he proposed
marriage and was accepted. A dinner
followed at the Cafe Royal, where
champagne was freely INDUCED in
Ali Khan and the lady referred to.
according to the latter. then went to
the Empire house, where Ali Khan, II is
claimed, effected the young lady's ruin.
A few days later, Miss Nash says, Ali
Khan told the plaintiff that he was
about to return to India, and it was then
she ascertained he was already married.
Ali Khan took the witness stand. He
spoke English very slightly. He was
understood to testify that all he said
when he proposed to Florence was:
milne wife HindOo." He denied that
any promise of marriage was given.
Witness declined to swear on the tesla
ment, refused to say $50 help me God"
and wanted to swear upon his honor or
upon the sacred COW. His evidence
was rejected by the court, but the Jury,
after short deliberaliop, brought in a
verdict in his favor.
