An ENGLISH VIEW.

A good example of the lack of logic and cx-
cess Of prejudice commonly characteristic Of
English discussions of American affairs is TO
be found in an article or THE Nomination Of
Mr. Mckinley" in The London Spectator Il
journal Of all in that country perhaps. best
informed and fairest minded concerning Ameri-
ca The writer begins with what is intended
TO be compliment. The election Of Mr.. Nc
Kinley will show, he says. that the American
people rank honesty above self-inicrcst. Ii
would be 10 the advantage Of the debtor classes
which, with strange pcrversity he assumes
10 comprise the vast majority Of the people
10 have "chcap" money The temptation TO
vote for free silver is therefore strong If they
resist it. the spectacle will be presented of n
vote for creditors given by debtors That is. lie
thinks. so particularly pleasing and praise
worthy thing that the whole subject is worth
looking into further and more closely. 1t is in
such further consideration of II that he bctrays
the characteristics 10 which we have referred.
The masses of the people. he admits, have
dictated the nomination and will effect the cleo
ton Of Mr. Mckinley. and their motive in
doing so is a desire for National honesty That
fact us crcditabe to the masses. Yet he adds
In the next sentence. I'VE make the admission
Dcciusc II is Just, ana Win no IparlcllnT pleas
'urc." Why so! Because the whole electoral
system of America, To this austcrc Briton, us
to the last degree offensive" Tie voters are
coddlcd and cheated by the bosses. No one de-
sires to vote intelligcntly. No one seems to
think 1t necessary 10 stand upon principle.
Sraddling and trickcry prevail everywhere.
All men regard their opponents as either idiots
or thieves. All are ready 10 sacrifice opinions
and principles for votes without hesitation.
That is the British picture of American poll
tics. deliberately drawn by the very same jour
nal which few weeks ago was naivey won

MISPLACED SYMPATHY.

Those were curious ideas of morals exhibited
by the clergymen who called on Governor Nor
ton to petition for the pardon Of John y. Nc
Kane. now serving a sentence In Sing Sing
Prison for crimes against the suffrage commit
ted at Gravcscnd These worthy gentlemen
appear TO think that McKanc's offence was IA
trivial one, and their sympathy goes ont TO
him as TO Il brother suffering unjustly. The
Rev. Mr.. Couch pleads for him on the ground
that his intentions were not as bad as they
appeared, that he did not know the law. and
that he was caught in the whirlpool of political
excitement. The Rev Mr. Poulson goes fur
Their. arragns the law. and says that McKanes
sentence was excessive.
If these arguments came from less respectable
Ously as the complaints Of friends Of disorder.
Coming from ccrgymcn they are evidently the
manifestation Of misplaced sympathy. There
is need of justice as well as mercy in this world,
and the Founder Of Christianity never meant
weak sentimentality 10 take the place Of firm
wrong. McKane was engaged for Il series of
years in n deliberate course of plotting against
the freedom Of the suffrage until the very name
Of the town which he dominated became n
synonymc for political corruption. He was not
caught in any whirlpool of excitement He
no attention TO laws Condemnation Of his
course is not based on party prejudice. Each
party In turn had the dlscredit of his support.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1896-07-02

He ruled his territories like a rObbcr baron OF
the Middle Ages, now joining one army ana
now another, as his own interests for the mo-
mcnt might dictate. Men of both parties reared
him. and It was only when his lawbreaking
reached the point Of rebellion that the honest
men i'm all parties found strength to bring nm
and his followers to Justice. He was not good
man who went wrong. hut bad man who de-
fraudcd his neghbors msuscd the public funds,
tcrrorizcd the community and played the hypo-
critic in the church.
Yet the Rev. Mr. Poulson thinks the six
years Imprisonment. which will he materially
lcsscncd by good behavior. is excessive punish
mcnt for his crimes. Perhaps the Rev. MI.
Poulson thinks that burglary and arson are 100
heavily punished. He must to he logical Tor,
wicked as the burglar and the incendiary may
be. they do less harm than such criminals as
McKane The life. liberty and happiness OF
the people of this country all that they holu
dear and hope TO hand on TO their children
depends on the maintenance of republican gov
ernment To falsify the suffrage is to poison
the spring Mt the source. That was what Nc
Kane did. Open treason could not have been
worse The fact that he fOurishcd for years
before anybody dared attempt TO punish him
shows how much need there is that the lesson
of his Imprisonment be made stern ana lasting.

The Republicans Of the United States had their
way at ST. Louis and nominated Mckinley for
President. The Republicans of New-York are en-
titled to choose their candidates for State offices

Miller and his associates in the antl-boss move
ment are asserting and intend 10 establish.

If all the reports about the Yale oarsmen at
Henley were true 1t would be advisable TO with
draw them from the river and put them IN an
asylum or perhaps museum. But 1t is perfectly
safe to assume that they are not changing their
stroke and their rig every few minutes. and that.
consequently they are not in constant state OF
bewllderment as to what Will happen next. Pro-
fessor Cook was not born yesterday, and he has
seen a racing shell several times in his life.

hasten the dispatch Of foreign mails arriving
at this port by doing away with the delays that
occur when they are all sent out through the
NcwYork Postollice. 1t is not yet fully per-
fcctcd. but is receiving the careful attention of
the Postmaster-t;eneral BY distributing the
mails at Quarantine and sending them directly

Yesterday was busy day for Major Nc
Kinley at his home in Canton. the most inter
csting incident being the visit which he re-
ccivcd from his associate on the ticket. 1t was
the first time the two men had met since they
were nominated at St Louis fortnight ago.
The meeting was one of special interest on
both sides. Mr.. Hobart spent two hours In
Canton. during which he had the opportunity
of witnessing one Of the scenes that are of
daily occurrence there and of saying a few
words to a delegation that had called to greet
the Republican leader. OF course Messrs. Nc
Kinley and Hobart found a multitude Of things
of profound interest to talk about. and there
was no time wasted during the interview be-
tween them

mand that the company supply that which II con-
tracts to furnish This is exactly what Is not done

led to believe that it is an impossibility. Still
they call on the company to "a reasonable
number Of continuous trains on the Third-ave

reasonable number Is an elastic phrase, and II
Is safe to say that the people of the North Side
will not agree with the Commissions interpre-
tation of it as meaning ten continuous trains

LIE DRoITs' GOOD RECORD.
After n Few More Games They Will
Disband for the SensOn.

After n Few More Games They Will
Disband for the Season.
After few more games the well-known
LIE Droits will disband for the season of '9G
The record this year gives promise of Il
much stronger team next year.
Last year the same boys were on a par
with the second team of the different High
Schools: but this year were able to hold the
strong Central team to Al game
The LIE Droits played twelve games dur
ing The season. winning nine. losing two
and tying one. Although credit has been
given the Centrals for three games from
the LIE Droits, the Park boys deny this,
and say they have met but twice on the
field; the first game played early in the
season, the Centrals winning 1870 The
other well-cOntested game was played
when both teams were in the best condition
and ended ~.
The LIE Droits played other interesting
games, which were well contested, and
won well-deserved victories. One was the
game against the Alexandria Athletic foot
ball team, who outweighed the Park boys
by ten pounds to a man; but at the end of
the second half the score was 26-O in favor
CT the Washington lads Another victory
was the return game in Alexandria, which
resulted in q victory of SO. 80. .. -
Then a game in the early part of the sea-
son. with the Western High School, which
ended after bitterly fought game, 90.
The lie Drots suffered their second and
last defeat Thanksgiving day, when the
Park boys. in order not to disappoint the
Laurel Athletic Club, had to leave some of
the best men at home and carry a crippled
team, and then, after waiting two hours on
the field, the game was started. BY that
time, they say, the boys were exha usted,
having tasted since early morning: but
even then the Parks held the Laurels down
to six points. The Park boys will make
them play hard to win Christmas day,
when they meet again at Laurel.
The members of the team are: II. Crown,
center, weight, 15o pounds; c. Brush left
guard. weight. 135 pounds; H. Burns, right
guard, weight, $50 pounds; E. Burns, right

1O pounds; Hoover. left end. 156 pounds;
j. Shepley. quarter, 40 pounds.
The LIE Droits are anxious to have an
other game with the Centrals and Easterns
While every one on the team played good
ball, those who deserve special mention
are Ross. Clark, Burns. Hugues and Shep-
ley
