would be safer to trust a man who wouio s'eai

anyhow.

AT least TWO prominent
and Brooklyn spoke out cmphatlcally on SUNDAY
!, condemnation of the nomination Of Maynard.
Bishop John H. Vincent, preaching IN Harlem
did not name Maynard. but Enthusiastically ne
meant MAYNARD when he made strong appear
for righteousness in politics, and called on MS
hearers to defeat by an overwhelming vote pase
and unprincipled men brought forward by poio-
cal bosses in defiance Of public conscience anu
public sentiment. DR.. Lyman Abbott IN fiy-
mouth Church, spoke plainly in reference 70 Tue
disgraceful nomination made at Saratoga. Ihis
IS not preaching politics; 1t is merely utterlhs
the simplest principles of morality Ihere oush'
to be a good deal Of such preaching THIS 1aii'
The campaign is to be made a moral issue
and the preachers should feel Under profound
obligations to take part in it with earnestness.

tung" and THE Buffalo Courier are the Demo-
cratic newspapers which have formally declared
their purpose to oppose Maynard election. IaKeh
together they are a strong list OF newspapers,
and it can scarcely be possible. either that
they are not representatives Of Democratic senti-
ment or without influence in making and d.
recting 1t.
The registration and election IN TINS city this
year will be under the direction OF three in
spcctors in each district, two of whom are Tam
many men, while the third is Republican.
The injustice Of this arrangement is self-evi-
dent 1t Is we'll known that the law was put
in its present shape in order to give Tammany
ample opportunities to count up such MAORI
ties here as may be needed to offset the Repub-
lican vote in the rest of the State. These
opportunities ought not to be continued. What
the people should desire and demand is uni
form law, giving each party equal representa-
ton at every polling place throughout the State
Such a law the Republicans will enact If they
control the Legislature next winter. The peo-
pie who war. to see this brought about should
put forth every effort in their power to secure
the election OF a majority of Republicans in
both houses.
Our versatile contemporary, THE New-Yorl
SUM-" charges us with insulting the Demo-
cratic party by giving it Immoral advice on
the policy it should pursue on the tariff CUES
ton Heaven forbid, that we should carry
Goals to Newcastle by giving Immoral adj
vice" to a party that stands little in need
Of it-on the tariff question or any other. We
suspect that our contemporary is getting out
IAN anchor to windward" that by and by.
when the Democratic party makes its next mis-
take on the tariff. it can turn on us and say.
"It all comes of following the immoral advice
OF The Tribune
The owners of the Lucania are well pleased
with the splendid voyage made by the new
steamship last weck-and well they may be
pleased-that they are going to lay off the Cam
pana for a month before long as to make
some Improvement that will increase her re-
semblance to the l.ucania. These things viii
tend to make her more speedy. and next year
we may look for still better time than even
that made by the newest liner on her last trip.
The Hon. Hokc Smith, Secretary Of the In
terror has sent in his estimates for the next
fiscal year, ending June -. 1895. wherein he
makes It appear that. in his opinion. an agg.e-
gate Of SIG 1914 % is needed for the several
branches of the public service under his control
He somewhat proud Of the fact that this
Is Il decrease last year OF s3.3os.-
1876 IS, the total then being $3.50, 0s7.630 A. But
he omits to call public attention to the sug-
gestive fact that he gets all. and more than ALL
of his apparent saving out of the Pensions Blu
reau. His estimates show decrease for PEN
sions of So 200 900. Further than that. in order
promptly and fully to keep from the old soldiers
every cent possible out of their rghtful dues
he wants an increase OF S,0o0.OO0 for examining
surgeons 100000 for clerk hire, and 100000 for
expenses of Investigations. This is total OF
81, 400 900 which he must have in order to cut
down the pensions to the extent of S5.O00C0O, and
the Secretary proposes TO make the old
soldiers pay II all. The Secretary
has been declared to be smart poll
tician. and he seems to deserve that somewhat
dubious praise. To let loose n horde of Demo-
cratic officials upon the country and pay them
with money taken from the pensioners is a thing
that nobody but a Democrat of the Hoke Smith
sort would imagine possible, much less attempt
to accomplish.
