The Nugwump assaults, in the interest OF

sentiment and upon the pivotal strongholds
| Of the Democratic party are now as auda-

great and ever-dcciding States. New York
and Indiana. have for years been fertile OF
powerful and important Democrats. and
have justly prided themselves upon the
high place these partisans have occupied
in the esteem and consideration OF the
national Democracy. At this time O

his party to unprecedented triumphs

fail to get their own candidate named for

Unless the Democrats are willing to throw
up all their glowing hope OF victory in 1892
they must keep their flag flying. Whoever
attempts to haul it down fire him out OF

system It might be difficult, II not imprac-
ticable. to break up an organization by In
dividual arrests. At all events, the Paris
police have as yet proved Incompetent TO
check the new campaign OF terror. That.
rightly or wrongly. the authorities con-
slider the situation very serious Is manifest
from the bill introduced into the Chamber
OF Deputies to make the firing OF explosives
in dwelling house. even where no loss OF
life ensues, n capital offence.
1t is when we ask what practical results
the authors OF the recent explosions hope to
accomplish. that we discern n broad dis
tinction between them and the Terrorists
OF 1895. Tho latter were. to some ex-
tent under DANToN and undeniably under
RoBEsPIERRE, in direct and even avowed
cooperation with the masters OF the State.
The political and social regime which an
swered their ideal was already In existence;
and the pretext Of their crimes was that
only by terror could 1t be upheld against
invasion from without and against insur-
rection and treachery from within. Had
the Jacobins divulged beforehand their in
tentlon OF perpetrating wholesale massacre.
they would never have been suffered to
obtain the upper hand in the Convention.
or to WELD administrative power. Con-
sidered as a political instrument. terror
must be opportune to be effective. Prema-
turely awakened. it extinguishes all minor
causes OF dissension. and unites all the con-
servative forces Of society in an impenetra-
Bile phalunx. In word. terror Is only useful
as defensive weapon and in the hands OF
those already possessed Of executive author
ity; employed Us an engine Of aggression 1t
is worthless. There is no reason to believe
that the small band OF Anarchists to whom
the recent explosions in Paris are attrib-
uted are in any way connected with any
political party. Their methods OF effecting
q revolution are repudiated not only by the
Extreme Left in the Chamber OF Deputies,
but by the whole body OF French Socialists.
not only by those known as Collectivists,
but by the thoroughgoing adherents OF
KARL MARX. 1t is as we'll understood by
the masses of French workingmen as by
their political leaders that the faintest show
OF sympathy with the manipulators OF
dynamite would indefinitely postpone the
attainment OF the reforms they advocate.
1t Is plain. then. that from a social and
political viewpoint the wholesale destruc-
ton OF life and property attempted by the
Paris dynamiters is purposeless and wan
ton. Terror they can undoubtedly excite;
but the sole practical effect Of their malig-
nant demonstrations will be to weld all the
forces OF society against them In implacabe
hostility and In the merciless resolve to
sweep them like vermin from the earth.

The Citizens Right TO Vote for Whom
lie Pleascs.

An important decision. sustaining the
right OF voters TO use paster ballots in favor
OF candidates whose nominations have not
been publicly certified. has just been rem
dered by Judge MARTIN l.. SLOWER, the
newly elected Justice Of the Supreme Court
In the Fourth Judicial District
The Fourth District comprises the north
eastern part OF the State. and extends from
Montgomery. Schenectady. Saratoga. and
Washington on the south, to the counties OF
Clinton. Franklin. and st. Lawrence on the
north. Judge SLOWER Is Republican. but
was chosen last fall without any opposition
on the part OF the Democrats. The election
case which we have mentioned arose In
Minerva township in the county OF Essex.
At the town election in Minerva on March
I. there were two principal tickets in the
field. One appeared upon the official ballot.
printed by the Town Clerk. Tho other APP
peared only on pastors. the Town Clerk
having refused to print 1t on an official bal
lot. on the ground that the candidates had
not been legally nominated. There was a
majority OF votes for the paster ticket. but
the town canvassers disregarded all tho
pastors and declared them to be illegal. be-
cause no certificate Of the nomination OF the
had been filed in due season before the town
meeting.
Their conduct in this respect squarely
raised the question whether a paster ballot
IL Intellectual unless cast for a candidate
whose nomination has been certified to the
officer charged with the duty Of having the
official ballots printed.
Judge SLOWER holds in effect that paster
4
? not been certified at all. Is valid and must
be counted. The statutory requirement as
to the filing OF certificates Of nomination
within specified time before the election.
Is pronounced to be solely for the purpose
Of defining the duties OF the officer who Is
to have the official ballot printed, and does
not forbid candidate or candidates from
using or being voted for on the paster bal
lot over official ballots. even when they
have not been certified to as having been
nominated"
This decision maintains the liberty OF the
citizen to vote according to his own choice.
by means of printed ballot. for candidates
whose names have never been certified to
anybody as those of nominees. Under the
law. as interpreted by Judge SLOWER. the
voter may have printed paster prepared
to suit himself. and may vote it by attach
ing it to an official ballot, irrespective OF
the acts OF any convention. caucus. COM
mittee, or other body of persons.
This is a rational construction OF the pro-
visions OF the new election laws which were
involved in the Essex county case. A con-
trary Interpretation would have demanded
m amendment making their effect just
what Judge SLOWER says it is already.
Yet these new laws should be wiped out
and the old ones should be restored.

sy. He was the first caller at the Executive
Mansion this morning. and. after an extended
conference with the President. retired to his
residence. summoned Gen. J. W. Foster. and
together they began framing the reply OF the
United States to Lord Salisbury's last note.
This reply would have been sent yesterday.
but the United States Government was await
ing the action OF the Senate on the treaty OF
arbitration between the United States and
Great Britain. The reply will probably be sent
to-day. The ratification Of the treaty partially
clears the diplomatic sky. and together with
the concIliatory tenor OF Lord Salisbury's last
com munication leads all to believe that a
modus vivendl for the protection OF seal life.
pending the decision OF the Board OF Arpitra-
ton. will be mutually agreed upon.
A step in this direction is the announcement
from Victoria that vessels are being refused
clearances to go to Behring Sea. While this
may show q disposition to accede to the
changed condition OF the Behring Sea affair. it
Is regarded in official circles as somewhat on
the order Of locking the stable door after the

A great question before the Methodist

yesterday is that OF the admission OF women

A formidable number OF the feminine
adherents Of Methodism ara DESTROYS
that women should enjoy ALI there re-
ligious rights that are enjoyed by men. and
should be allowed to exercise their proper In
fuence in the government OF the Church and
in the administration OF its affairs. They
argue their case very earnestly. and are sup
ported in doing so by many OF the brethren.
1t is the clergy who oppose them. a majority
OF the clergy.
When the question was taken up in the New
York Conference Of last year. the vote went
against the women: but it is now admitted
that the proceedings were irregular. and an
other vote is called for. II the clergy stick to
their old exclusive notion. the women will
carry the case UP to the General Conference.
