why Art Thou Cast DOWN.

Why Is the Hon. WILLIAM M. SISGERLY
cast down because the Hon. WILLIAM Mo
ALEER has not been renominated for Con-
gress' Why did Mr.. SINGERLY flame into
double-leaded wrath the day after MCALEER
went down, toss the State ticket haughtily
away, and darkly comminate "Ringsters,
Roosters, and Ruffians"' The letter r
seems to be passing sweet and strong in
political imprecation and malediction, but
Mr.. SINGERLY as the Democratic candidate
for Governor Of Pennsylvania has higher
work than literary diversion. Surely he
the old soldier in the truceless war against
protection, should have rejoiced and not
wept when a deserter like McALEER was
laid by the heels. Surely Col. SNGERLY,
instead Of bowling " IcHABoD," and tearing
of the buttons Of his uniform. should have
shouted $50 perish all traitorsr and
honed his trenchant blade upon his cuffs
with deadlier resolution.
But every great captain has had his hour
Of weakness and despair, his moments of
blue funk. Col. SNGERLY will open the
new week with all his old warlike spirit.
We are confident Of it, The reproachful
loo of Cobdenis, his gifted tariff reform
COW, from her gilded stall, will not fall up
on deaf ears. McALEER is laid low, but
SISGERLY Is unharmed.

The Stalled Or of BelInRton.

Mr.. G. II. SCoTT, one Of the managers Of
the Hon. WILLIAM J.. WILSON'S campaign
in the Second Congress district OF West Vir-
ginis, asserts that he Is to have the assist
ance Of distinguished coadjutor next
month. Here are Mr.. ScoTT's own words:
There will be a big baysoou. at Bcilngtop on Oct
is. Mr.. WILSON will have returned from Europe by
that time, and will be there. There will also be .
number Uf prominent Democrats there from various
sections OF tho country among them less notable
. person than President GROVER CLEVELAND. Mr.
CLEVELAND has given his promise 20 come. He may
not speak, but he will shake the hand OF every Demo
crst In the district. II y probable that twothirds Of
the Democrats in the district will be present"
As Mr.. WILSON has been Mr.. CLEvELAND's
chief assistant in bilking the Democracy
and violating the Constitution, II IL only fair
that Mr.. CLEVELAND should lend what help
he can to his subordinate. Mr.. WILSON Is
likely to need all the help he can get. A
barbecue and Mr.. CLEVELAND would make
o strong combination, and ought to bring
the West Virginians out They will have the
happiness Of shaking him by the hand, and
perhaps he will make speech, or ct any
rate read q letter. Letter writing rather
than oratory seems TO be his gift. Perhaps
he will read his letter to Mr.. WILSON. Per
haps he will explain to the miners OF West
Virginia that IL Is their duty to take an
sltruistio view Of the tariff and consent 10
free coal and free iron for the sake Of max
ing New England happy.
The only difficulty in the way Of the sue
cess Of the Belington barbecue is the doubt
about its reality that may arise in the minds
Of Mr.. WILSON'S constituents. Mr.. WILSON'S
managers promise to have barbecue and
Mr.. CLEVELAND promises to be present; but
can these promises be believed. Mr.. WILSON
and Mr.. CLEVELAND promised to end the
atrocity Of class legislation and make con-
stitutional tariff, and their promises turned
out to be mere sawdust and stuffing.
May it not be that this Belington barbecue
and the presence Of Mr.. CLEVELAND at 1t
with an affable hand, are hoaxes and hum
bugs' It Is a sad truth that the political
credibility Of these men Is gone, and 1t Is
only natural IL there Is q shadow Of doubt
about any engagements into which they are
said to have entered.

Mr.. Grcsham's Tardy Negotiations
With Japan.

While Japan and China are fighting des-
perately by land and by sea. Mr.. KURISo,
the new Japanese Minister. is peacefully ne
gotiating with Secretary GREsHAM treaty
Of amity and commerce.
It has not been a popularity Of Mr.
GREsHAM's always TO do the right thing, at
the right time, and In the right way and just
now, while the proposed treaty is apparently
the right thing, the right tins for 1t was
some time ago. In the first place, to have
negotiated such treaty with Mr.. TATESo,
the present Minister'S predecessor, would
not only have pleased the Japanese Gov
ernment better, but would also have allowed
our country to take the lead in putting
Japan upon the footing Of the most advanced
and civilized nations, instead Of following In
the track Of England, and playing second
fiddle to her, as must now DO the case. Be-
sides, earlier action would have relieved the
United States from the charge Of choosing
for making concessions to the former which
We could not make to the latter.
A leading subject of the new negotiations
is the proposed abolition Of the present
consular court system in Japan. 1t can be
understood why Japan is 40 strenuous upon
this point. She very properly considers that
she has reached such position among civil
ized nations that neither the United States
nor any other country ought longer to exer-
else extra-territorial jurisdiction in her do
mAinA There Is no doubt Of her willing
ness and ability to administer justice, either
to Americans or to other foreigners, through
her own courts.
II China should ask similar concession,
which, to be sure, she is not likely to do,
Il could not very we'll be granted, and the
discrimination at this moment would be
emphasized and would be keenly felt. But
that is not the particular point in which
the lack OF timeliness is shown. The for
mer Japanese Minister is understood to have
asked practically what Is wanted by the
present Minister, and he resigned and went
home without securing 1t. Now England
grants It, and thus gets the credit with
Japan of being the first TO recognize her
proper position among the nations.
This neglect or blunder is all the more to be
regretted because America has always been
regarded with gratitude and genuine liking
by Japan, from our taking the advance in
opening treaty relations with her. Fortu-
nately we have large II not inexhaustible
margin Of friendliness To draw upon in the
way Of offset to any OF Mr.. GREsHAMs
blunders. In this respect the case is like
that Of Hawaii and OF Samoa. Our naval
authorities are even now taking just pride
In the renown won by japanese pupils OF
Annapolis in the sea fights with China. The
uniform good will shown by our country to
japan will no doubt serve to counterbalance
Mr.. GREsHAM's amazing blunder at the
outset Of the present war, and his mortify-
ing delay in entering upon the new treaty
negotiations.
