DAFFODlLS.

What marvel that dear Wordsworth sings
The glory of the daffodils?
I've found them, too, by lonely springs,
In many hollow of the hills,
And something of atpleasure known
The mountain minstrel makes his own.
In meadows which the March winds seeks
look for april, they are born.
They loved them much, the golden Greeks,
The poet heroes of the dawn,
Iransp anting to immortal fields
The fairest flower that Nature yields.
And surely It's a joy supreme
When early throstles pipe and call,
And the pale, kindly skies redeem
The greening earth from winters thrall,
To meet by pool, or tinkling rili,
The first, fine. fragile daffodil!
love them for the olden time,
For some sweet vision faint and dim,
Of large delights and deeds sublime
| love them for the love of him
Who sang among the English hills
The glory OF the daff0dils.

Some portions of the extradition treaty
with Russia have been published. They
show that the feeling against tn treaty
which has been reused a by rumors in re-
gard to its character is well founded.
Among the offences which are extradit-
able is that of the forgery of government
documents. AS passport is a govern
ment document and as nc suspect can
escape from Russia without forging a
passport, inasmuch as there is no POSI-
bility of his getting genuine one, the
effect of the treaty is to render everybody
who may escape from Russia to this
country, no matter what the nature of
his offence. extraditable, that is, liable to
be returned by this government If the
United States has not been committed to
this treaty lrrevocably, it should go no
farther towards ratification; if it has.
then the treaty should be abrogated. Pub
lie opinion will never permit the United
States government to fulfil the obliga-
lions of this document.

hardly worth while for the Argus to

The votes in Ward 5 were counted by rep
resentatives of both parties, and no claim
was ever made of inaccuracy. The Argus

ant. vigorous. and continuously successful
| administration Of party affairs by those
now exercising the powers and responsible
tiles Of the leadership in Tammany Hall.
All other Democratic organizations have
shrunk in membership and gone out OF
existence, and intermittent and desultory
efforts to put vitality into outside or indie
pendent movements have totally failed to
evoke any popular support. During the
past year various individuals have raised
the banner Of revolt. but such movements
have come to naught. The people have re-
fused to follow. This is. indeed. a fine
showing for the regular Democratic organ
ization, and splendid vindication Of its
title to exclusive representation in the con-
ventlons OF the Democracy.
The people of New York admire. approve.
and are satisfied with the present manage
ment OF their affairs by the officers to whom
has been intrusted this task. That's why
there is no opposition to the regular candi-
dates this year. 1t would be unavailing.
In mentioning tho absence OF opposition
to the Democratic candidates who will be
elected by the people of this town to-mor-
row. we do not lose sight OF the fact that
our Republican friends have candidates in
the field for a majority of the offices to he
filled. So, too, have the Socialists and
Populists. The canvass OF these individ-
uals. like that Of the Republicans. is per-
functory. Candidates are put up merely to
be knocked down. There is no effort to elect
them. no expectation of electing them.
SO it is with the Republicans. Their lead
ers desire to preserve tho Republican
organization for future contests; the candi-
dates they have put up will receive small
but numerically respectable vote. 1t Is not
imagined by any one that they have any
chance of success. and no one understands
this better than tho dummy Republican
nominees themselves.
We comment upon the matter in no dis
arrangement OF the claims of tho Repub-
licnn. Prohibitionst. Socialist, and Popu-
list candidates for such support as they
think they ought to get tomorrow, but be-
cause plain statement Of the facts OF the
case tells clearly the whole story Of the
good leadership and the satisfactory adj
ministration which has made the Democ-
racy OF New York invincible in 1893. Long
may the triumph of Democratic principles.
and OF Democratic policies responsive to
them, endure in New York!

WASHINGTON. Nov. 5.-"Now bring me on the

Ways and Means Tho Presidents triumph In

1t is not ordinarily very difficult to bring
the crime home to the perpetrator Of It.
He commits 1t openly and Hagrantly. at a
public polling place. in the presence OF wit
nesses. His guilt is nearly always tracea-
BILE. The evidence OF 1t can ordinarily be
obtained easily.
Let all good and honest citizens, then,
instead OF medltating upon the wrongful
ness Of fraudulent voting. or writing essays
against 1t, unite with the officers of the
law to prevent 1t. They will thus render
service to their country.
There certainly cannot be many fraudu-
lent voters in the city or State OF New York.
The ballot is well guarded. The qualifica-
lions OF every voter must be approved. The
inspectors OF voting are sworn to do all in
their power to prevent the violation OF the
election laws. 1t is dangerous for any
man to practise fraud at the ballot box
IL there shall be some men who attempt
1t tomorrow. we trust that all OF them will
DO arrested and punished, whether they are
Prohibltionists or Democrats or Republic
cans or Socialists or Populists. Let no
guilty man escape.

Fraudulent Voting.

1t does not seem to US necessary to print
any essay upon the wrongfulness or the
criminality Of the practice OF fraudulent
voting. any more than it Is necessary TO
print one upon the criminality OF stealing,
or arson. or perjury. Several of our con-
temporaries have published elaborate argu-
ments against the practice during the past
week. and have proved 1t to be at once i'm
moral and illegal. So 1t Is. There cannot
be any doubt OF this In any reasonable
mind. All arguments showing 1t to be so
are certainly on the right side.
The law provides heavy penalty for the
crime. Means are taken to prevent Its per-
petration. There are ministers OF the law
whose special duty it Is to keep watch for
the perpetrators of 1t. and to arrest any
person who may have been guilty Of 1t. or
may attempt to commit it. There are Judges
whose duty 1t Is to hold such person. all
such persons. for trial. to secure his or their
presence In court. and to administer the law
truly and faithfully in each and every case
Of the kind.
1t is evident that fraudulent voting Is
criminal offence. and that the person con-
victed Of 1t is liable to receive the full penal
ty provided by law. He should certainly

week he left this thought. as the Hon. BEN
JAAIIN HARRISON would say:
"The fires in your furnaces are out and men are id.
though willing to work. What the cause for this
Does II not suggest itself to you You cannot
or even give any evidence OF a change in the tarin
laws OF tho country without parayznx every business
industry"
MIR. MCKINLEY has done considerable
changing in the tariff line. but now he sees
the danger OF changing. Henceforth the
MCKINLEY tariff must be regarded as an
immutable fact like tho law OF graytntion.
You cannot alter IL or even show u dispo-
sition to alter IL without paralyzng every
business industry. Tho MckrNLEY tariff
mas become. in the mind OF its worthy
author. an entity more venerable than the
Constitution itself. The Constitution can
DO changed without paralyzing anything
in particular, but the tariff must be main
tanned just as it is. without n little of addi-
ton or subtraction. or business will tod
die To Iartarus. In view OF the npecra-
biiity aud inerran"y Of Mr.. NlCK1NLEY's
tariff 1t Is natural TO suppose that tho i'll

Governor MCKINNEY didn't tell the riGuans
that assault upoa the tariff with intent to
change 1t in any particular ought to be
made haneirg matter.

nervous. or have mcgaloccp halic symptoms

merely to be lrccratcd as to its schedules.

There was once u Brahmin OF high de-

was mercurial. aud his resolutions alway rs

a symbol Of the gap between the intent and the

when he got there. He took the vow OF CELL

The letter OF Mr.. MoREToN FREwEN TO
THE Sun. which We printed on Saturday. con-
corning the output OF the South African gold
folds. fully confirms the statements here
made upon the same subject short while
ago by Mr. WILLIAM WALKER in letter from
Johannesburg. which were probably thought
by some people to be eXtravagant. When Mr..
WALKER said that the johannesburg mines
yielded 10000 ounces of gold monthly he
seems to have given the lowest monthly yield
for any month OF the year. as the figures sent
to US by Mr.. FREwEN from Juno onward go far
beyond those given by Mr. WALKER. Both cor
respondents say that they look for an i'm m ense
supply OF gold from tho South African camps.
Africa. golden Africa" said Mr.. WALKER. is
marching steadily to tho rescue OF the Indian
rupee, and every hundred thousand ounces OF
the gold mined here Is Just one nail the less in
the coffin OF poor old silver" 1T is certain
also" he added. that Mashonaland. Zulu
land. Swaziland. and other parts OF the Trans
wall will soon be sending out their golden
treasures"
We shall not advise our Western miners to
pack up their traps and start out for South
Africa though Mr.. MoREToN FREwEN tells us
that he soes a chance for them thcre. The
mining folds there are chiefly owned by Brit
ish corporations. and the working miners are
black Mashonas. the pay Of whom Is Just uffi-
Client to cover tho cost OF rations and rum.
We presume that, with tho overthrow OF 10
BESGULA. tho British companies will be able
to obtain hundreds OF thousands OF blacks for
labor in the mines that are now operated and
In all others that may yet DO discovered. And
We do not believe that the California, Colorado.
or Montana miners could enter into competi-
ton with them.

The Duty OF Republicans.

The men who nominated EDWARD T.
BARTLETT at Syracuse did so in good faith.
They did not know that the faint OF one OF
the worst frauds ever committed against
the Government was on him. They thought
that they were nominating an honorable
man, a man whose standard Of professional
ethics and legal conscience were high and
pure. BARTLETT kept his secret, trusting to
luck not to be found out.
He has been found out. and. painful as
the discovery must be to the pride Of Re-
publicans. their duty is plain. No consid-
Grafton OF partisanship Should prevent
them from repudiating and furnishing the
unworthy candidate.
This mentor Of thieves has got upon the
Republican ticket. The shame is his. and
only those Republicans who vote for him
will have share in 1t.
