We have received this expression Of opin-
Ion from prominent clergyman of Massa-

qualification:

CAMBRIDGE MASS II LAScAsrKR STREET. May 20. 1893"
The great and constant aim OF The SUN
10 to mako itself indispensable to every
man and every woman who wishes to be
candid and we'll informed. At great ex-
penso and with infinite pains It strives
TO present the facts OF each days
history exactly as they are. and In its COIN
ments on them it Is always influenced by
the spirit OF candor. 1t has no enemies
except the enemies OF tho truth and Of
popular government. and the popular prog
ress and wellbeing.
THE Sun Is, first Of all. a religious paper
It Is bound by religious obligations to the
truth and to its own convictions. 1t Is FREQ
because the truth makes it Free 1t Is in
dependent because its only master is its
own conscience.
With such principles. faithfully followed
and honestly and ably maintained. THE
SuN will always be indispensable to both
clergymen and laymen who want candor.
truth, accuracy. and sincerity.

TO get more Federal Offices than Mr.. CLRvE-
LAND seems disposed to allot. Those Of
them who hail from New York claim to
count upon three OF the twenty Repre-
sentatives. and unwarrantably 30. as we
have shown. They mako their usual amount
Of noise and disturbance. but 1t will not
distract the party from the orderly per-
Torrance Of the duties intrusted to 1t by
the people In November. The very first
OF these duties Is the sweeping away OF ev-
cry vestige OF Industrial protection. Next
will come the setting up Of a new system
OF revenue-raisng. within constitutional
lines. In place OF It, On that will follow
the ropeal Of the cowardly makeshift. the
SHERMAN act of 1890. and the enactment OF
truer and better coinage law.
When these things have been performed
in compliance with Democratic pledges, the
question OF Offices for Mugwumps who
think they deserve them on account OF po-
litical services rendered, will be In order.
Then. we hope. Mr.. CLEVELAND will give tho
Mugwumps a limited share OF the odd Gov
eminent jobs for which they are clamoring.
and without which 1t does not appear to be
possible that they should be happy For
the present, at least, and until the i'm
portant labors to which tho Democracy is
pledged. are disposed Of. no heed need
be given to the cutlery Of the Mugwumps
or their unsecmly demands for office.
And wo may be sure that Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND will not In order to crafty them. en-
bark in any unjustiflablo war against tho
Democratic Senators and Representatives
of New York. Not only would such war
create peril for all tho interests and hopes
OF the Democracy. but it would especially
endanger the success and the reputation
of his second term as President.

We have been afraid that with the do
parture of our distinguished friend. Col.
CHARLES II. JONES. from the direction Of the
81. Louis Republic. the logical insight into
difficult subjects. which has given fame to
that leading journal. might experience some
dlscouraglng decline: and this fear ia
changed into conviction by the doctrine
which we extract from recent number:
"Henceforth tarir be levied except with the
view allowing the people of tho United States to
Quire the largest possible amount Of foreign wealth."
We are sure that In the days of Col.
JONES such delusivc and utterly erroneous
deliverance could not have appeared in the
columns OF tho Republic. Therefore We
urge upon Col. JONES 8 successor the truth
that the Chicago platform does not per-
init any other purpose in levying the
expected new tariff except revenue only.
The acquisition OF wealth, whether foreign
or domestic. by the people of the United
States. or any other people. cannot be
taken into account Such considerations
belong exclusively to systems OF protec-
tionism: they cannot find entrance into
the minds OF thinkers or legislators. who
are engaged in the preparation and enact
ment OF tariff free from protectionism,
designed for the raising Of revenue alone.
In the public interest it is really to be de-
sired that Col. JONES should resume the
control Of the Republic.

We have not doubt that the exhibit of
the State OF New York at Chicago is superior
to that of any other State OF the Union, SUI
perior in natural products, in useful ma
chinery. in manufactured articles Of all
kinds and in works Of art. all tho arts. We
admit that the Empire State makes no
such display out there as it would have
made II the Columbian Exhibition had
been held In the Empire City. but We must rest
satisfied with the fact that 1t SURPRISES In va
riety and value that Of any other State repre-
ssnted there. The building erected by the
State OF New York on the Exhibition grounds
is the proudest and most attractive OF all the
buildings there. Even Governor FLOWER. who
is a most sxacting critic. speaks exultingly Of
New York at Chicago.

Cholera.

| We know OF the falsity OF the prediction.
which was so often repeated in the months
between last October and March. that the
cholera would be here in the spring, brought
, over by immigrants from the infected re-
gions OF Europe. We know also of the falsity
! OF the prediction made in the spring time
that 1t would be here very early in the
summer. 1t is now pleasant to entertain the
hope that the disease may not appear here
at any time this year. 1t is possible to- in
dulge in this hope even though the alarm
lists predict that we shall have it early in
the fall. or at least before winter sets in
We have found out that fortune tellers and
foretellers are not to be trusted.
The news from Europe is OF very good
promise. The prediction was made there
also. half year ago, by plenty Of doctors
and sanitarians, that cholera would surely
be epidemic in several other countries be-
sides Russia. In the months Of the spring
and the early summer. The prediction was
founded upon the assumption that the
cholera germs. paralyzed by the winters
cold. would be quickened when warmer
weather came and prompted them to renew
their ravages among mankind. The as
sumption was plausible, and 1t created
widespread apprehension In the month Of
April and again in the month OF May. Up
to this time. happily for both Europe and
this country. the prediction has not been
verified. Even il the disease should at any
period become epidemic In one or more OF
the countries OF western Europe. We hope
to keep it out Of the United States. The
precautionary measures that We have
adopted give reason for this hope.
Perhaps there Is less danger to us from
immigrants this summer. than from the
ship loads OF rags sent here from infected
districts. 1t is the duty OF the Marine
Hospital Service to see to it that all bales
Of rags sent from any Of these districts,
without thorough disinfection. shall be kept
out Of this country.

Justly assume sucn proportions The making Of suoh
contract seems to convey Implications which. am
| sure, are wholly unjustn
1t Is very clear. therefore, that the state
ments now made In regard to the enormous
fees payable to the attorneys were In the
possession OF Congress-. and that they did not
influence the action of that body on the
main question before 1t. A resolution that
the Presidents message furnished no SUI
ficient reason for interference in the due ex-
ecution Of the law referred to" was passed
in the House by vote Of 1853 against Al. The
negative votes must have included those
that were influenced by the argument
against the justice OF the claim as whole
az well as by the suggestions OF tho Presi-
dent In regard to the over-payment OF
agents. In fact. the debate In the House
does not show the remotest allusion to tho
latter point, that part Of tho Presidents
message being practically ignored.
Possibly Congress did not care to discuss
implications which even tho President
himself thought wero wholly unjust Ii
was not obliged to consider why the Choc-
Jaws had devoted upward OF half million
dollars for services and contingent ex-
penses In getting Claim through Congress-
Probably IL thought that the fees paid by
the Choctaws were their concern. and not
that OF Congress. Perhaps also 1t may
have been influenced by the Presidents
statement that when the Choctaws learned
that the matter might be brought to tho
attention Of Congress, its General Council
passed an act declaring all contracts made
by the Choctaw delegates with any attor-
neys In connection with this appropriation
void and Of no effect" But this latter act
was pronounced by the Choctaw Attorney
General unconstitutional and void. and in
fact, as has been seen, the large fees are to
be paid. Indeed, since the Choctaw share
OF the appropriation has been divided into
two parts, one OF sl,5l4.O deposited at st.
Louis. and the other OF S6929565 so deposited
In Washington. it is suspected that the lat
ter, which, under tho contract, Is to pay
for the employment OF attorneys and legal
talent. political influence, public press, and
for the engagement OF such other agencies
as shall be necessary" may cover a far
greater sum than Mr.. HARRISON spoke Of

The Result OF the Ohio Election Depends on

go Democratic next fall All depends
on the President. His conduct down
to the present moment is not sntisfac-
tory to the Democrats OF Ohio, and con-
se1uently they may not come out at the
election In November In forco enough to win
the battle. The only trouble proceeds from
Washington. Wero the election to take place
next month Mckinley would win. Whether
We have different result in the foil will de-
pend on Mr.. Clevelnnds course"

Mckinley's election. Some OF their rea-
sons do not differ much from those emu
merated above. There is no disputing that
they are hopeful OF conclusions favorable to

makers or even Of DR.. DEpEw. Superin-
tehdent BYRSEs. or Col. HIN. let him
wait second. IIe may not hive
heard In Washington that the question WAS
recently submitted to the people here for
decision. ana that vote upon it was quietly
taken. with results satisfactory to nearly the
whole population. There Is but one way OF de-
termininH who is the most popular man in
Now York. and that is the way OF universal
Suffrage which was adopted here. 1t Is easy
enough to Say. without ever being able to
demonstrate. that some man or other is popu-
lar or popular iavorite: but let the case OF any
such man be taken to the polls; let there be
md out how the thing stands beyond mis-
take. There are surprises in elections some-
times. and lots Of men who supposed that
their popularity would sweep the field haye
found themselves laid low when tho polls
were closed. About half year ago the peo-
pie here had n chance to pick out the
most popular man in New York when they
voted for Mayor, and there has not since that
time boon any doubt as to their choice Of Mr.
GILRoY. No other man who ever ran for
the Office had his popularity He got
l'15lO votes; his chief rival ran near
~ 10000 votes behind him. and his three
other rivals got less than 1900 votes be-
tween them. Here. then. is the most popular
man in New York at this time according to the
choice OF Its citizens. II DR. DEpEw, who Ia A
popular man. had run against him, would the
Doctor have won' II he thinks he would or il
any other man thinks that way about himself
let the trial be made at next election.
Thus our Washington friend can tell BY the
figures who is the most popular New Yorker
