Rabbi WISE possesses an advantage on
the battlefield, In tho fact that he is mas

unknown tongue to the Chief Rabbi. though
he has lived for four years in New York.
For n controversy. especially upon re-

Their Surviving Leader.

The disappearing OF Governor MCKINLEY
as q probable candidate for President in the
next Republican National Convention began
on Wednesday morning last. The Hon.
THOMAS BRAcKfITr REED was not hurt in
his chances for the Presidency. for he had
and has none. great as are his talents and
his force OF character. He comes from Mr..
BLAINE's State. If Mr.. REED had had the
promise and potency OF candidate in
him, they would have gone down with the
Force bill last week. The Republicans
would only tempt defeat by putting cx-
tremists to the front, but where are they
to find among their leaders man who has
made himself the champion OF moderate
opinions2
There are few Republicans who had the
courage to oppose the Force bill. There
are many Republicans. and especially in
the Northwest. who have doubted tho wis
dom OF stretching protection until it
cracked. But what distinguished and
capable Republican leader is there. in good
standing with his party. who has an unim-
peachablo record on both questions :?
From the seniors like JOHN SHERMAN to
the juniors like HENRY CABOT LODGE OF
the LODGE BILL is there any such leader in
tho Republican party?
Just ono. His name is JAMES GILLESPIE
BLAINE. He tried to save his party from
high-handed monkcying with the election
laws and from air-tight protection. His
party thought it was wiser than he. Tho
Federal oiliceholdcrs We're more powerful
than his friends ut Minneapolis. Tho Re-
publican party made q liberal offer for de-
feat, and has been literally defeated.
Is there anybody besides Mr.. BLAINE now

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: The
greatest issue in tho political contest Just
closed. with SO much honor to the Democracy
of tho United States. was the devilish. the
despotic the un-American Force bill. That
was the momentous issue on which tho battle
for the right was fought. and which precipi-
tated the landslide OF Dem ocrntic votes
throughout the length and breadth OF this
land on Tuesday. and all honor to The SUN
for the ability and persistcncy with which it
has pictured the horrors OF that damnable bill.

the despotic measure
Delightful reading was THE Suns pathetic
appeal to Gar Reed. Whitelaw Reid. and all
OF the other Republican stump orators. to in
duce them to unseal their lips and discuss the
Force bill: but the FIAT had gone forth from
the Republican National Committee oblicng
their stump speakers to ignore the Force bill
and to trent it as a bnld-headed.' baro. bach ed

the powerful! Force bill edit or!als published in
The Sun day after day. week after week. and
month after month. so thoroughly aroused
the public to the terrors OF the diabolcal Force
bill that on Tuesday last they rose in all their
might from Maine to California and buried tho
accursed bill deeper than the depths OF Shcol.

A question OF interest to at least por-
ton OF the Jewish community OF this city
has been raised by the venerable. yet bel
lgercnt. Rabbi WISE. In challenging the
right OF Chief Rabbi JACOB JOSEPH to bear
the title which has for some years been
associated with his name. We are not sur
prised to learn that the Chief Rabbi Is pre-
pairing for defence against the assault
which has been made upon him with that
audacity which is the main characteristic
OF his powerful assailant.
1t is but fair that the observers OF this
peculiar rabbinical conflict should under
stand that Chief Rabbi JOSEPH. who has
been known in this city under that title for
about four years. does not assume to exer-
else any authority over the American rab-
binate at large. Under his Jurisdiction are
the congregations worshipping In eighteen
Of the most orthodox synagogues Of New
York. by which he was chosen to I'LL the
office which he holds. and by which he was
invited to come here from Russia. where he
had acquired renown as a Torahist. Out
side OF these eighteen synagogues his chief
fancy Is not recognized by the rabbinate.
though 1t Is known that he stands ready to
admit into the union any other congrega-
lions Of unquestioned orthodoxy that may
desire to enter it. There are probably few.
II any. OF the more prominent rabbis OF New
York who could be induced to acknowledge
his prcrogative. or who would DO acceptable
members Of his organization. or who would
DO able to conform to the prescriptions
which he sets up. Such rabbits as DR.. Kohl
LER, DIR. GoTrHEIL, and DR.. SILvERMAN
arc not in accord with the Chief Rabbi. as
was ascertained short time ago. when he
proposed to call convention OF the repre-
sentatlves OF Judaism here. In the expecta-
ton that 1t would result in the extension Of
his authority.

fights as the Maccabees fought. and shows
no mercy to the adversary. He issues his
proclamation under the sanction Of the Cen
tral Conference OF American Rabbis." and
puts his name to 1t as the President OF that
body. His language is both wrathful and
scornful, He tears the title OF Chief Rabbi
from the name Of JACOB JOSEPH. and tram
pies upon 1t. He declares that there Is no
Chief Rabbi OF the American Jews; that the
assumption Of that title by this Russian Ia

We do Not Agree With Her.

We cannot agree with the remark OF Mrs.
HESTER Nj. POOLE, at tho SOrosiS luncheon
on Monday. that women Us class are
wofully easy to be imposed upon
or course. she meant as u class distln-
guishcd from men. and her imputat!on
was that women arc more gullible than
men, and more easily caught by the wiles
of impostors because OF the tenderness Of
their sympathy and their unreasonlnG i'm
pulsiveness.
1t could be said with fully as much truth
that it is easy to impose on men as a class.
II Mrs. POOLE went to the women adven-
turcrs for an opinion as to that matter. we
dare say that they would tell her that
they had found ont from practical expert
ment that folly and vanity prevail among
men. 1t is not difficult for n pretty woman
to humbug the run OF men. she would
have told Mrs. POOLE. Tho dominance Of
tho masculine judgment over tho mascu-
line emotions is mere prctence. she would
have said. The weaker sex, SO far as con-
Germs power Of will. she would have de-
cared. is the male. The capacity for en-
durancc. the ability to bear pain and suffer-
ing. and the mastery OF the emotions, she
would have testified. are stronger IN the
woman than the man.
! AS traders women certainly are not cxcell-
| ed by men In shrcwdness. They are what
mercantile people call close buyers. They
are not easily cheated and they arc moro
! cautious in their ventures. In business they
keep cool heads. both because OF their nat
ural temperament and because they arc IA
less addicted to the stimuiants which in so
many cases weaken and pcrvort tho judy
ment Of men. Women may not be adapted
to tho management OF large enterprises
requiring comprehensivencss of view. but
In tho smaller sphere OF trade they exhibit
great cleverness. If they do not know any
| thing about business details. it may be
| possible for men in whom they have mis-
taken confidence to cheat them. but their
keencr suspicion usually serves to protect
them against fraud and impostuyc.
The great trouble with womcn-nay. we
will not call 1t that. it is rather one Of their
most Irresistible charms-is their DISPOSE
ton to make effective their pure femipinity
In dealing with men even In business az
fairs. They expect to get consideration
and to gain advantages simply because
they are women. Thus they refuse TO
come into square and cold competition
with men, and by SO doing they show great
instructive cleverness. They try to bias
masculine judgment by the power OF fomi-

Ms. Gladstone ON English Universities.

We have before US the full text Of the re-
markable address on medieval universities
which Mr.. GLADSTONE recently delivered at
Oxford. The most interesting feature OF
the Grafton WAS the extended and candid
comparison OF tho two great English uni
versities In respect Of the distinction Of
their graduates. Mr.. GLADSTONE acknowl-
edged that. while In medieval times Oxford
had decidedly eclipsed her sister seat of
learning. yet since the Reformation tho
relative position OF the two institutions has
been reversed. and consequently the need
OF honor must be awarded on the whole to
Cambridge.
As early ss the beginning Of tho thir-
tssnth century. and for two centuries after
ward. Oxford. considered as centre OF
scademicsi activity. was almost on par
with the great university OF Paris. Among
the OxonIan luminaries OF this epoch Mr..
GLADSTONE names ALEXANDER OF Hales,
ADAM MARsH. DUNs ScoTUs. WILLIAM OF
ockhAm. tho celebrated nominalist. and
lastly. RoGEB BACON. perhaps the highest
British intellect OF the middle ages. TO

none OF the others had sore backs. and after
"A hours they started out again. Tho same
command made a night march OF 80 miles
In 10 hours. Gen. MERRITT. in 1879. with
his large command. rode 40 miles to the
relief of PAYNE in C6l5 hours. and arrived In
prime order. Cot. HENRY holds that
cavalry command, after n month s drills
Of from Is to 90 miles at rapid gaits. should.
with increased feeds. make so to GO miles
day as long MS required: and to such
command 100 miles in twcnty-four hours
ought to be cnsy. Tho horse. like tho
athlete. needs training. aud when this is
done his endurance Is limited only by that
of his rider
The great point to be noted in these In
stances. which are declared to be simply
such as many OF our cavalry officers can
duplicate in their experience. is that they
were rides made by common-bred. native
troop horses, not always kept hard ana
ready for work, and made. too. generally
across country on mere trails. or no roads
at all. not seldom on ground hilly and badly
cut up. carrying heavy weights. with the
pace made that Of the slowest horses, whiie
for the riders the incentive was $l3 month
and simple duty. instead OF a $1,000 prize
and great reputation.
Admitting. then. that the ordinary work
OF our cavalrymen will stand high In COM
parison with the Berlin and Vienna ride. oil
things considered. to what shall the excel
lence of the former be ascribcd The writer
in the Army and Nary journal traces it to
the high vitality OF the American horse. and
also to tho fact that all the cavalry work
on the plains tends to distance riding. While
this is true of no other regular army. Such
q thing. he says, as Gen. MILEs'S " raider
and pursuer" drills. in which groups of
twenty men or more rodo between 40 and
140 miles in from forty to fifty hours. would
never be dreamed OF in Germany. The gen.
eral conclusion which he reaches. derived
from some familiarity with European cav
airy. as we'll as with our own, aided by
study Of tho Arabian horse both In the
French army in Algers and on the Syrian
deserts. is rs follows:
After all said tn. p.lm ,or distance riding mus. he
awarded to our own cavalry officers. Taking All
conditions into account there are probably no civil
lied horscmen who ride so FAR with body OF men
bring them to the end Of their journey In MS clean
condition as the best OF officers on the palms.
Tho talent to do this is by means untversal but is
widespread. And thorgh We may marvel ut tho recent
$50 miles ridden In from - to 30 hours by the most
expert foreign horscmen their picked horses. the
record dead and Toundered steeds loads US to be-
heve tha. We could have done a. we'll AMI saved our
horses"
At all events. the statistics thus furnished
| will show that for long-distance riding with
considerable bodies OF troops. which is the
main point to DO noted for practical Mill
tary use. our army can ut least hold its
own with any other In the world.

To the great number OF esteemed but ex-
asrerated Republicans who are now fnvoring
THE Sun with postal-card curses on account
Of the Force bill Issue. we desire to express
once for all our profound Acknowledgement
and hearty appreciation. We are oven dis
posed to believe that the compliment. coming
IN different forms from so many indep endent
sources. and in some instances conveyed in
language tho sincerity Of which is guar
nnteed by its profane energy. may not
be wholly undescrved. Our Republican
friends will find themselves more grateful
to THE Sun by and by. whom the smoke has
arisen from tho battlefield whereon the Force
bill met its Waterloo. and particularly when
they have all paid the halter. Then they will
perceive that tho principle for which The
Sun contends Is far moro important to tho
republic which the fathers founded than the
success or defeat OF any partisan oreaniza-
ton. The country has escaped n peril which
no patriotic Republican should lose sight OF.
For this last step Of Capitalization and Federal
aggression threatened the very foundation of
our free institutions. and II It had been
tal4n. the success Of the Forco bill aonsplra-
cy would surely have shortened the lifetime
Of the blessed Government which We oil love
In common and mean to uphold That is why
we accept as compliments the hasty re-
pronches OF our Republican friends respect
ing The suns course in the canvass. Let them
quit swearing at THE Sun and reviling it, and
despitefully using 1t. and say to each other,
