The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1894-10-26

An Augusta contemporary reports the
rumor that lat an early date after the in
auguration an effort win be made to Sc
cure from Gov. Atkinson the pardon of
Harry Hill. There are rumors," contin-
ues our contemporary, that there are
strong political influences back of the
appeal for executive clemency" This ru-
NOR is unfortunate. 1t is to be hoped
there are no grounds for it. Political in
fluences" have saved too many criminals
in the south from suffering just penalties.
Political influences have robbed the
courts of law of much of the respect that
should be paid to them. Political infiu-
ences" have saved white murderers from
the gallows until it is the most rare occur
renee that a white murderer in the south
suffers so much as a few weeks confine-
ment in Jail. Until our courts are respect
ed and their convlcts punished, how can
it be expected that law abiding people will
come and settle in the south and help us
develop its resources? There should be
no political influences" about a pardon
for Harry Hill or any other notorious
convict. If the governor is convinced that
the convict has been sufficiently punished
for his crime it is the governors preoroe-
alive TO grant him a pardon. But the
governor has no right to pay political
debts with his pardoning power.

There will be no watch dog Of the treas
ury'' developed among the populists in
this session Of the legislature. There are
no mastiffs in the pack. They have per-
mitted the standard to be measured by
yelping at rat'hole. The political party
that starts into reforming" by proposing
to cut down salaries already too low never
amounts to anything as reformer. Fur
thermore, If all the reductions proposed
by the populists were to be made, the
amount saved would be a mere pinch in
comparison with the amounts that brainy
men might save by reforming the evils
that really ahiict the state.

The navy department has exploded a
pet theory with certain mineralogists,
who have been claiming that aluminium
is the ideal metal from which to build
boats. 1t has been asserted that the
metal is non-corrosive from the action of
salt water, and that barnacles will not
attach themselves to it. Both these claims
have been found incorrect by actual tests.

nnred with such rapid transit as hat to
which the people OF New York have become
accustomed. IL would be excusable only II
marsh necessity compelled the community
to submit TO Il or go altogether without
rapid transit Of every sort.
In New York there Is no such necessity.
The people know by experience that IL is
possible to provide them with the means OF
travel through the free air above the earth,
and TINT there Is no need OF condemning
them 20 20 down into n hole In the ground
20 get to aud from their homes. How, then,
under such circumstances, can they be ex-
pectsd TO vote for n subterranean method OF
tranDit and to tax themselves to pay for the
hardships which IL would impose on them :
Besides, what are they to do while the
Commission IL digging the hole? They
want more facilities for rapid transit now,
and they have been waiting for them too
long already. Large districts in the upper
part ri the town are suffering because Of the
delay. Tho further development Of New
York is hindered because regions contain
ing the only unimproved part OF the city's
area are not sufficiently accessible with the
present rapid transit facilities. Must they
wait Ave or ton years longer until n hole is
dug through which their unfortunate pop
ulation will be condemned tn travel, to and
from their distant honest
The true and the only way to get promptly
the further rapid transit needed immedi-
ately, and to get it Of a kind agreeable TO the
travellers, is to defeat the scheme which
will be submitted to the voters next
month. Let the people kill the under
ground project to which the Commission Is
practically committed, and then the present
system OF rapid transit, 30 incomparably
superior to any sort OF tunnel, can be ex-
tended In q short time 30 a. to meet the pub
lie necessities. In any event, there must be
such an extension, or the progress OF the
city will be retarded. 1t Is necessary to
supply the present and imperative demand,
and to provide for the needs of the great in
crease Of population during the years while
any new method Of rapid transit will be in
course Of construction.
II there Is to BE- another method, the defeat
Of the project submitted to the people at the
next election will prevent its being rapid
transit through a hole In the ground. The
construction Of such a road would be u ca
lamity for New York; and It Is fortunate
that tho people have the opportunity to ward
It off by voting against the scheme Of the
Rapid Transit Commission

native a Mugwump or socalled ~non-parti
san maladministration OF city affairs.
There are BOO, 200 voters in New York
city, n the overwhelming body of these,
Democrats and Republicans, TO their great
credit collectively, rs patriotic American
citizens, arc earnest and sincere partisans,
Whenever, therefore, the issue has been
raised of a partisan Democrat OF one side,
and O Mugwump guerrilla on the other; for
responsible party government on the Amer.
lean plan, or irresponsible, incapable, and
emasculate misRovernment on the other,
the verdict of the voters has been
favorable to the Democratic candi-
date. Tho Republicans this year pro-
pose a different change: the change from q
Democratic local administration to a Re
publican one. It is an honest issue, but,
in a Democratic town, where the normal
Democratic majority is from 10000 to
$4,000, the courage and sincerity of those
Republicans Is to u commended rather
than their wisdom and knowledge.
II the people of New York city desire
to have their municipal affairs conducted
through the agency Of the Republican party,
they will vote for Mr.. STRONG II they don't,
they will vote against him, and for his Dem
ocratic opponent. There ought TO be, and
there will be, we think, no question what
ever about that.
Mr.. STRONG is a gentleman Of respectable
character and excellent repute in mercantile
circles. He Is the President of the Central
National Bank, or Dry Goods Bank, as 1t
is more generally called, and he has been a
consistent and unfaltering~ Republican. He
was born, too, In the State Of Ohio, like
many other successful Republicans. But
the distinguished gentleman who, on behalf
OF the Committee Of Seventy, so called, put
Mr.. STRONG in nomination on Friday after
noon, had to leave the meeting before the
acceptance OF his candidate, in order, as he
said, to catch a train leaving New York
and the other gentleman who formally put
Mr.. STRONG in nomination in the Republican
Convention on Friday night is going to Eu-
rope, to he absent, so his friends say, for
the period Of a year. These facts, trivial in
themselves, are typical OF the posi-
ton Of u Republican friends, and it
need not surprise any one, therefore, II
the campaign, which opens more auspi-
ciously than usual for them, should he
grounded within two weeks or less on some
collateral side issue, invited by leaders
made predominant in the campaign, by their
ignorance Of the cosmopolitan character Of
the voting constituency.
The Democrats will nominate their candi-
date for Mayor on Thursday night, and in a
straight fight between the two parties, New
York city ought to be Democratic by so, 900.

bilitles Of her army and navy were un.
known. Now they are the admiration OF
military and naval critics! Five years ago
there were q 5000 cotton spindles at work
in Japan. Now there are 100000! The
progress Of Japan is without n parallel in
the history of nations. Within a single
generation the customs and traditions OF
ages have been thrown off, aud Japan has
now a limited and constitutional monarchy,
similar TO that Of Great Britain, aud n fran
chise more wisely regulated han that Of
some older and more pretentious countries.
The Rev. A. d. SIMPSON Of New York, who
visited Japan last year, says the national
system Of customs, post offices, railways,
telegraphs, telephones, police, and school
education are almost as complete as in
Western states. A weekly Sabbath has
been appointed, and is kept as a government
holiday. A decimal currency Is established,
and the National Mint at Osaka coins their
own silver. Native a~rsenals and shipyards
make their own vessels, gunboats, and can
non, and vie with great establishments such
as those of KRUPP and ARMSTRONG. Japan
educates her own physicians to-day, and has
her W medical colleges taught by natives.

Of the West. The great university of Toxic
has already two thousand students"
In the hour OF victory and Of success the
Japanese will look wistfully for some signs
Of approval from those Western nations
whose inventions and methods of commerce
and administration they have so largely
copied. Let us hope that the response will
be cordial and unstinted. The old cry Of
Jo-i; expel the barbarian" has often
been raised by the people of Japan in mo-
ments Of resentment. Now, very much will
depend upon the attitude Of 1.-THE barba-
rians' Of Europe and America. Japan has
II great future. The receptive possibilities
both of the people and Of the country are
enormous. They have in a time of great
national provocation proved themselves
" valiant In war;; and those who know
them best are assured they will prove good
of nature and !" courteous out of measure
in times Of peace, as old WILLIAx ADAMS
discovered some twenty years before the Pu-
ritans landed on these American shores.

The fact Is just the ether way. II the psO-

Commission next month, they will have to
do without that sort Of rapid transit for i've

underground road, TO be dug at the cost
Of tina people, and II Il wers undertaken It
could not be constructed Ia less than five
years, and the probability Is that It would

As IL Stands.

Democratic politics in New York arc 80
simple that a few lines can describe every
Important feaCure.
The Democracy las nominated Senator
HILL for Governor. lie Is the party's most
tesolute and best tried leader here, md,
moreover, his nomination was substantially
forced by the bewildering and d~isintegrat-
Ing issues imposed upon the Democratic
party by the Populism Of President CLEvE-
LAND. Under the circumstance any other
nominee would have proclaimed the Democ-
rncy's pusillanimous surrender to It's W
Socialistic corruption. With Hill. as the
candidate, there should DC no uncertainty Of
Democratic victory, even with the Mug
sump faction IN full blast against him.
Under The present extraordinary circum-
stances Of commercial depression. the Mug
wump faction, with the power OF the ma
tionnl administration In their hands, can,
by joining with the Republicans, beat the
Dem ocrats. What the Administration in
tends to do is the problem.
II enjoys over the situation the same de-
cisive superiority that Is enjoyed by a mar
with a pistol in his hand, who has reached
his victims head.
Thus Democratic victory is possible, while
Democratic disgrace is impossible. II vic
torious, HILL will stand at the close Of the
conflict the central figure Of Democratic
hope; while, II defeated, he will be honored
for the vindictive treachery with which his
defeat was accomplished.
Tho Administrator should speak its mind
at once, and plainly. The Democratic army
of New York il about to move into action,
and it should know Mt the start On what
forces It can rely.

We print this morning the opinions Of
divers learned Harvard bachelors and masters
of athletics whom we have summoned In con-
s~uItation rs to the condition of muscular diver
sion at Cambridge. The opinion OF the majority
seems to be that want of skilled leadership
and want OF confidence are the causes
Of the anHmic state of Harvard sport.
We might, perhaps, add that a multi
plicity OF advisers and a curious narrow at
titude on the part Of the faculty have helped
on the work of woe. But surely the youth Of
Cambridge should be quickened into new efforts
by the stings of so many defeats. And we
firmly believe hat there are cycles and
periods OF athletic triumphs, and that the
wheel Of Yale fortune must soon be blocked.
While Harvard never had anything like
the present Yale dynasty Of winners, there
have been times when the New Haven
youth toiled hopelessly at the oar and with the
bat. A period of hot and even contests between
the two colleges is what the friends Of both
should desire. We salute the undergraduates,
studious or record -hunting or both. of Mr.. A
Wards Learning Trust,and say to every mothers

Cardinal Vaughan on Christian Union


cardinal VAUGHAN delivered a notable

compromises ana concessions whlch the
Roman Catholic Church can make and those

Those which she can make are changes
and notifications in her discipline, and In
legislation which concerns times and cir
cumstances, " such as clerical celibacy, COM
munion on both kinds, her liturgy, and the
language of the liturgy. As to these, said
Cardinal VAUGHAN, "she would not hest
tate again to make concessions, as she did in
times past, for the sake OF some great good,
could they be shown to surpass in value adj
hesion to the points OF discipline to be re-

be seriously entertained without u recogni-
ton OF the principle and fact OF unity, the

This OF course, involves the complete sur

Cardinal UGH was addressing himself
to the Church OF England more particularly,
In which he thinks he discerns unmistaka-

extreme difficulty from those belonging to
the Church OF Rome. The doctrines OF
