Every man who wants honest and upright
government should attend the Cooper Union
meeting tonight.

The suggestion that Jones's Wood be secured
for a city park is good one. provided that the
cost be not too great. II appears that the idea
OF making a park AT that point on the East
River was conceived forty years ago. but was
abandoned when the plan Of laying out Central
Park was adopted. The advantages OF the Joness
Wood property for park In tenement-house
region on the East Side are many and obvious.
The suggestion deserves serious consideration
from the city authorities.

HOW TO ENTHUSENEWY YORK

Yvette Guilbert appeared at the Oily
mpic Music Hill last night and the
Herald says she carried the audience
by storm. The writer says: Her
magnetism is tremendous" The mo-
ment she parts her lips the audience
is s%pellbound. Her personality per-
meates the audience-rOOm like a pow
erful perfume, and though you do not
understand a word you are convinced
that an artist Of prodigious talent
stands before you" The expressive
ness Of her face is also tremendous"
and "thunderous applause rewarded
the artist for each of her efforts"
Bosh. Suppose this woman, or one
equally talented, had appeared before
that New York audience as Jane
Smith of San Francisco" where would
have been the magnetism, the tremen-
dous expressiveness, the ~thunderous
applause? Truly New York is a Jay
town. Besides, where do the worship
and glory Of Guilbert come in? They
consist in her faculty, by grimace and
gesture, Of infusing indecency into
songs the word. OF which are only low
and stupid. What an 'artist' she
must be!-S. F. Report.

Does not Effect Sheriffs.

The Carson APPEAL claims that the
recent Supreme Court decision in the
mandamus case brought by Superin-
tendent Of Schools Cutting, in which
it was held that "traveling expenses
meant nothing but transportation,
will effect the sheriffs Of the several
counties as we'll. and says the wording
of the law in the two cases is similar.
Authorities, however, differ with the
APPEAL. The act in relation to Cut
ting's case reads as follows:
''The actual travelling expenses
incurred By the Superintendent in the
discharge Of his duty shall be al
lowed"
That il relation to the sherif's Of
flee reads different. 1t says:
Said Sheriff shall be paid his ac-
tual necessary expenses incurred in
travelling ON official business"
At any rate this is the law govern
Jag the sheriff in Washoe county, and
the difference in the wording Of the
two acts is certainly plain to be SEEM

A wave of Americanism appears to
be sweeping the country just now, and
the President seems &c be on the top
OF it. Whether this is a clever job OF
English diplomats to elect Cleveland
for a third term, or a real case of in
ternational disagreement, cannot be
told at present.
1t had better be a real case of dis
agreement. War with England just
now would be a great help to the
United States. OF late England has
been med1ling too much with our
National officers and taking quite an
active hand in regulating our COM
mercial relations, our finances and
our methods Of Government. The
United States is becoming AnglOsiled
and there is too much Of the hosting
of umbrallas in New York when it is
raining in London, 10 be healthy for
the true American feeling.
A war with England would teach us
to depend more on cur own resources,
would SOP the flow of gold to Great
Britain and make the United States
more compact commercially than
ever. We would have silver coinage
to carry on the war and languishing
industries would be revived. AnstiOn
is like an individual. A man ought
TO have a regular knock down fight
occasionally to keep him lively and a
nation is likely to get stale if it isn't
livened up once in a while with war.
1t is the thunder Of cannon and the
tramp Of marching men hat awakes
a nation from a sOmnOlent condition
and sends the blood of active life
coursing through its veins.
The Monroe doctrine is a legacy Of
State policy handed down seventy-five
years ago, and if we propose to be a
nation of the earth, we must stick by
our principles and emphasize them at
the cannons mouth.
