A Very Important Pledge,

The most noticeable failure to keep up
with the progress OF tho times is exhibited
by the Ner York Times. Since the late
election the Times has courted Sleep and
from Its dreaming audibly OF the downy
days OF 1854. we hear that mir. CLEvE-
LAND has returned to the Presidential Office
without one compromising pleuge-had he
boon capable of giving one. us he is not
and without any promises. save to be faith
full to the principles he has avowed."
While our ncghhor slumbers the victori-
GUS Democracy can ioGglc its Joy with tho
recollection that at tho crisis Of the cam
paign Mr.. CLEVELAND pledged himself
most solemnly and sensibly to be in his f,l-
turn relations with his party faithful and
loyal Democrat. Although this agreement
WAS made In tho presence Of the New York
lenders only. 1t was II sounding signal to
the organization throughout the country
that it held good for all. II provided one OF
the most pleasing certalnties with which
the Democratic purity united to ovcrwhcim
the Republicans, and the satisfaction over
ii out!asts the election.

may issue In every proper case to compel
the election officers to allow qualihed
elector to vote. But 1t is simply amazing
that 90 great q change should be made In
the law in such q way as to escape the az
tention OF the public and even OF the Su-
preme Court Justices In this city until the
very eve OF the election. The Court OF APP
peals was also In the dark on this subject.
as clearly appears from decision rendered
on Oct. 4, which shows that the Judges
OF that tribunal then thought the stat
ute still in force. A prohibition which
had been on the statute book nearly
half century was swept away, without
notice or discussion. by the Legislature.
under such circumstances that no one APP

cept Mr.. CHARLES A. COLLIN. one OF the
Statutory Revision Commissioners, who
kindly sent word to the Judges In this
town, at the eleventh hour. that he had got
the law changed so they could hold court
on election day.
This is not the first surprise occasioned
by the work OF tho Commission to revise
the statutes. II the law can thus be changed
for the better. without adequate considera-
ton or notification. it may also be changed
for the worse. The Legislature Of 1898 should
carefully scrutinize such additional work
Of this Commission as may come before 1t.
and take care that 1t understands and
let's the people understand every I'M
portant alteration that the reviscrs desire
to make in the existing statutes which are
OF general application throughout the State.

Froude at Oxford.

When Mr.. JAMES ANTHONY FRoUDE was
made Regius Professor OF Modern History
st Oxford, tho election caused some discon-
I tent among the friends Of Prof. Z. A. FREE
MAN. who had been his predecessor in the
ONCE. 1t was said that his methods OF
writing history differed too sharply from
those OF the late incumbent OF the chair,
and that. above all. his views of his duties
could not be reconcled with those Of Prof.
FREEMAN, who held that all written history
wns modern history. there being no divid-
ing line between modern and ancient times.
The latter objection. at all events. was to
some extent refuted in the inaugural adj
dross which Mr.. FRoUDE delivered on Oct. 26.
He began by referring to the opinion
which. thanks to FREEMAN. now prevails In
Oxford. that there is no such thing as
modern history. but that history has been
one and continuous from the beginning OF
: things. Mr.. FRoUDE declared that he never
doubted this. He always knew that the
modern world inherited languages. laws.
and literature from antccedent ages. and
that tho actions and thoughts OF jew.
Greek. and Roman had helped to mould the
minds OF all that had come after them
Still he thought the distinction that used
to be made was. although unsound. hnrn-
less one. With new religions and new ruces
OF men, with new impulses and fresh types
OF character, what might he considered
new epoch had virtually begun. Goths,
Teutons. Scandinavans. Hungarians
Arabs. had minds and ideas OF their own;
they were neither jew. Greek nor Roman
Mr.. FRoUDE thought. therefore, that with
out offence he might still regard tic North
ern Invasion as n period when old things
We're wound up and II new order begun.
Prof FREEMAN used to be impatient with
those who build huge fabric OF deductions
on the facts OF history, and he would have
been entirely satisfied with Mr.. FHoUDR's
opinions on this point The latter said that
he could not preach philosophy of history
because he had none OF his own. Theories
shifted from generation to genera ion, and
one ceased to believe in any Of them. Mr..
FRoUDE knew nothing. he said, OF what
are called laws Of development. evo-
luton, or devolution, as applied TO his
tory. II had been asserted that history
was record of human progress. prov

Was it so certain that in things most essen
tial We arc so much wiser than those who
went before us? Mr.. FRoI'DE did not be-
ieve. for one thing, that the condition OF
the people in medieval Europe was so mis-
cradle as has been alleged. He did not be-
lieya that the distribution of the neces-
sarics "f life was then as unequal as it is
now. 1t is we'll known that the researches
OF tho late Prof. 1HoRoLD ROGERS bear out |
Mr.. FRoUDE's opinion on this point. They

show that there was q time in England
when. as Mr.. FRoupE asserts. there was q
more cordial relation between high and
low than there is now: q time when each
class thought more OF It's duties than OF Its
interests. and when religion. which was
the same TO all, was really believed III.

traits OF some of these which Mr.. FRoUDE
promises to bring out with equal clearness
and fidelity. whether they were Protestant
or Catholic. In his judgment the object OF
history Is to discover and make visible

bly, propounded by FRoUDE's master. CAR

The Metrop olitan Museum.

The report OF tho trustees of the Metro
politan Museum OF Art, published yester
day. shows that the relations heretofore
existing between the museum and the
city arc confronted with the need OF
arrangements not easy to make entirely
satisfactory to oil concerned. The Mu-
scum Society. which exhibits its collec-
ton in building provided by the
city. was formerly required to open
its doors to the public gratis upon GER
tain days OF the week only. the others
being reserved for the use OF members.
This gave n vaue to membership and.
therefore. revenue. all Of which disap-
peared when the city required that the pub
lie should be admitted every day. including
Sunday. The Sunday opening also conflict
ed with the feelings OF numerous people
otherwise interested in the museum. and
additional income was lost on account of it.
Deprived OF large part OF its revenue.
with the collection devoted substantially
to the uninterrupted use Of the city at
the expense Of all private control which
could benefit the society. the directors Of
tho museum feel justified In saying that
the city must bear the entire expense. And
here the trouble arises.
If the city is to pay the running expenses.
in which are included every salary. it cannot
avoid nor can 1t be relieved OF as rigorous
and absolute a supervision Of the expendi-
lures us it applies to its own establish
ments. Yet the fact that it does not own
the collection would make such RESPONSE
billty difficult and Improbable. and in our
Judgment it should. II possible. be avoided
The best way to do that is to restore, SO far
as is reasonable. the natural revenue OF the
museum by permitting it to close its doors
to the public for one or two days Of the
week. or perhaps to make then some small
charge for entrance. From this sufficient
money could be raised to pay the higher
officers OF the museum, whose places it is
more desirable to keep separated from
municipal responsibility. No citizen OF New
York would suffer thereby in the least, and
no stranger would have cause for complaint
And the city's part In maintaining the
museum would DO to give 1t the nec-
essary assistance. instead OF assuming
an obligation which would inevitably bring
to it the burden of running its working
force entirely.
This seems also the only way in which
the highest usefulness OF such an institu.
ton as a school OF art can be obtained. 1t
Is the practice Of tho Louvre and other
great museums. and 1t will provide tho de-
sired barrier for preserving to the museum
the appropriate and sympathetic MANAGE
ment which has built it up with such splen-
did liberalityand success Not that the city
would be incapable of running the museum
satisfactorily: but. things being as they are.
1t is desirable that the latter should remain
in its present hands.

PHILADELPHIA. Nov 11.-When Senator Quay.
nearly two years ago. resigned the Chairman
ship OF the Republican National Committee
and also as Pennsylvania's representative in
the committee. he did it with the deliberate
purpose OF entering the contest for the second
Senatorial term. Not that he desired the Sec
ond term. for the fact at that moment was.
could he have pursued what would have been
the most pleasing course to him. he would
have been more disposed to resign the re-
naming part OF his unexpired term than to
accept the second one. He resigned from the
committee solely to enter the contest for per.
sonal vindication.
Mr.. Quay had been assailed BY personal
enemies with moro than ordinary vindictive-
ness. which made 1t imperative that he should
seek vindication at the hands OF his party and
the people Of Psnnsylvania first above all
things. He felt that 1t was due to himself his
family. and the personal and political friends
who had eyer, stood BY him to seek vindics-
