We honor Governor PENNoYER. but to re-
move our contemporaries misunderstand-
ing OF other leading Democrats 1t is proper
tn say that the prevailing impulse has been
to defeat the purpose OF the malicious mis-
chief makers who have so worked upon Mr..
C~LEvELAND's easy-going good nature or
absorption in other subjects with the view
OF getting a chip placed upon his shoulder.
They hoped to precipitate a quarrel between
Mr.. CLEVELAND and the organization Of his
party in New York which the nomination ut
Chicago signally failed todo. True and sober
Democrats prefer to let the incident Of the
Senatorial manifesto sink out OF sight with
put an unnecessary ripple.
And they look with confidence to the re-
suit. The poison dreaded by the Washing
ton Post. and very possibly by many other
sources OF impartial observation upon If
fairs In this country. is noticeable In only a
few isolated spots Of fanatical~ crankiness so
we'll recognized as often to discredit its
preferences. There Is very little OF 1t. and
every American citizen. Democrat, Repub-
lican. or Populist. may rejoice. under the
present circumstances, that nowhere Is
there less OF 1t than in the Legislature or In
the Democratic party Of the Empire State.

Defend the

The current Notifications bill which Is to
be acted upon soon after the House reas-
sembles. distributes with generally good
Judgment among its items the meagre
total appropriation 1t provides. It's great
fault Is that this total Is inadequate to the
needs Of coast defence.
The reason assigned for this undue re-
trenchment Is the condition of the Treas
ury. present and prospective. When. how
ever. we find 81. 2S2. 1856 allowed for the year
year beginning July /. 1891: and 50 .734, 276
for the current year. even the plea of needed
frugality can hardly warrant cutting down
the amount In the pending bill to 81. rs .O55.
The first session Of the present Congress
having cut of nearly q million from the
amount granted at the previous session. an
increase might now fairly be made; but In
stead another million Is cut from the re-
duced standard Of last year
1t ID clear that no such ratio OF reduction
will be attempted on any other annual sup
ply bill. Thus the chief victim Of economy
becomes tho measure that provides for sea-
board protection. Even river and harbor
interests, which get q regular bill only
every other year. now propose. after the
prodigious appropriation OF the last session.
to secure SIC. 900. 900 In the Sundry Civil bill.
Even should they get but $1O.oOO.OO 0 the
contrast would be great between that and
tho sum allotted to coast defence.
Gen. CAsEY's estimates for purchasing
sites and building emplacements have been
simply wiped out In the pending bill. and
the customary item for care OF existing
works Is put At the narrow limit OF $4,000,
with $1,000 more for the plans. Still this
discrimination shows good Judgment. II

The Social Prince OF tho West,

Is the social sceptre Of the West passing
away from Chicago? The glittering halls
Of the Auditorium. to celebrate which the
Lter-Oc keeps a specialist at an enor-
nous salary (for Chicago). have seen many
gorgeous social events. and the Garden City
newspapers break out with fearful and WON
derful eczemas Of illustration on the day
after the gorgeous events occur. We all
know the inspiration Of the Chicago report
ers. and the mystic lists Of "Messrs. and
Mesdames." Chicago put much earnest
thought and print into her social chronicles.
and there was q time when we should have
said that she was the social woolly queen.
But we nave now heard from Detroit. and
our opinion is changed. On last Thursday
night Detroit had q Charity Ball. On FRI
day morning our esteemed contemporary.

count. written by its own staff of poets and
historians. Of this interesting function. 1t
was splendid and 1t was uncommonly
tasty:
"In tho outset 1t was q success from a financial
view. because Of the very large attendance: secondly,
from tho artistic view. because OF the splendor OF COS
tunes and Of feminine beauty, and Of tho tasty
arrangement Of the decorations: thirdly, from the
view of the social princes and princesses. because OF
tho thoroughly cosmopolitan atmosphere which
marked the evenings festivities-nobody snvied his
nsishbor. for all were too earnestly bent on having q
good time"
To describe the TASTY" forms and fea-
lures OF the social princesses Is q tough Job,
and the syndicate Of poets and chroniclers
give it up. But the clothes can be heard
distinctly:
"The beauty Of the ladies was fairly indssertbabIs.

A New Years Resolution.

The leading evening organ of the Mug
wumps celebrated New Years Day by
accepting as final" the information which
1t had received from Albany that MI. MUIR
PLY was certain to be chosen Senator
without opposition" The Evening Posts
conclusion is philosophical and true:
-There is only one way in which the Democratic
party OF this State can rid itself Of this HiLLSHEEHAs-
MuRPnr Machine, aud that Is TO smash IT,"
That is to say. the only way in which the
Mugwumps can get control Of the Demo-
cratic organization In New York is to per-
suade the Democracy to set aside its pres
ent leaders and to turn over the control OF
Its affairs to Mugwump trustees.
Nothing truer was ever said by the Epen-
ing Post. The smashing Of what the Mug
wumps call the Machine will have to be
accomplished by Democratic votes. Sta
tistics show that Mugwump votes do not
count for much In that enterprise.
The first thing to do. therefore. Ia to induce
the 654.OOO Democrats Of the Empire State
to surrender the management Of their po-
litical affairs to the 2O7 OF this town. and
such rural Mugwumps as they may choose
to associate with themselves hereafter.
Perhaps this can be accomplished by
%eloquence. argument. and invective. At any
rate. the enterprise ia worthy OF the genius
OF a GoDKIN. a GRACE. or o ScHURZ. and
there are still three hundred I'M sixty
