GREAT is GOTHAM.
New York and Her Metropolitan
Requirements.

New York City, with its nearly 100000
of population is now the second largest city
of the world, and larger than any other two
cities in the world, leaving out London.
AS a consequence New York commands the
very finest, the very best and very biggest
OF every thing that is to be enjoyed. The
very best food stuffs are taken there from
all over the world the finest tobaccos are
sent there from Cuba and Turkey; the fin
est products of the looms of the world; the
biggest and finest buildings OF the world
are in New York; the most costly and pa
lstial houses that money can erect are in
New York; grand opera is given by the
greatest artists of the world, and for
longer season than is given even in Lon
dom the theatres in New York are the
finest in the world; the greatest actors en-
tartain the exscting metropolitaus, and in
natural keeping with these conditions New
York will have only the biggest and best
aud greatest and finest OF all circus shows.
Che only circus shows that do exhibit in
New York, or that can exhibit in the me-
tropolis. or that New York people will
pstronizs, are the Adam Forepaugh and
Sells Brothers Goth Century Colossus.
Now this / a mere statement OF fact, and
may not be gsinsaid. All the printing in
the world that other shows can pay for
all the statements they can make in print
ing, cannot possibly avail against this sim
pie statement OF fact. There is only one
metropolitan show in America, and that is
the Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers
ooh Century Colossus, which will exhibit
here in every detail absolutely the same as
was given in Madison Square Garden, New
York City, on Friday, July 8.

question of the early pardon, from a
standpoint of penology and its moral

that there is no disagreement upon the
subject. There is practically unani-

For the Mugwumps Wayne Mac
Veagh's recent outgivings at Harvard
commencement were an oasis in des-
ert of continuous and grievous disap-
pointment. MacVeagh is one of those
uper-etherealized mortals to whom all
existing things in politics are bad,
and only bad. None of the statesmen
of the dominant party doeth good, no
not one. His highly refined and sem
sitive nose is ever in the air, to catch
the scent of any carrion the political
breezes may be carrying. His warnings
and apprehensions of danger are 80 much
a matter of mind made morbid by the
associations of the Mugwump cult that
there is no health in them, and no man
of normal mental conditions politically
will give them much heed. But he
giveth his own passing surcease from
their sorrows; his jeremiads are not
too seriously regarded, except within
his own charmed circle, and, like the
cudgeling the unamiable spouse was
wont to give her husband-the exercise
amused her and didn't hurt him-so the
country looks complacently on while
this ex-high priest of reform uttereth
his prophesies.

heartily accepts the decision OF
Supreme Court in the insuar cases.
Forever dragged, unresistiug, after the
car OF modern democracy, in it's erratic
and destructive courses, accepting with
out questioning it's fallacies in finauce
and economics, this is what these
men have grown weary OF and against
which they are protesting. This course
has been injurious to the Souta. These
men wish TO see their section OF the
Union become full partners in symps-
thy and in active political participation
with the whole North in the new ca
reer of the United States of A nerica.
The part of perpetual reactionst, of
the dog in the manger, in the opening
century OF enlarging power and
influence, of expanding national glory,
offends their American pride and does
violence to their ardent patriotism.
They desire that in the politics OF the
country henceforth the South and
Southern men shall be the counterparts
of the South and Southern soldiers and
sailors in the late war with Spain,
shoulder to shoulder in political COM
radeship, united in glory and achieve
ment, with the States and the men Of
the North, the East and the West.
There was, however, something of a
kink in Mr.. Herbert's ideas when he
cot away from things purely political or
economic. When he addresses himself
to consideration OF the race question
the hereditary infirmity of the South
ern mind, the evil legacy of century
of slavery, presents itself. 1t is easier
for q southern statesman to be patri-
otto and wise in economic affairs than
to be unbiased in the racial question.
These prejudices for generations have
been nursed with their mothers milk,
and their removal will be the work OF
generations.
Mr.. Herbert appears to find in the
Republican policy denying immediate
acceptance of the peoples OF the new
possessions into citizenship of the
United States, recognition of the the
cries of the people of the South respect
ing negro citizenship. There is some
confusion in the ideas the ex-secretary
expresses on this subject. The Repub.
lican policy respecting the inhabitants
of Porto Rico and the Philippines is
one thing; the action Of certain South
ern States and the evident purpose Of
others to diefranchise illiterate and i'm
pecunious citizens Of color, while Be-
curing the same classes of white citi.
zens in all their former privileges, il
another and an entirely different thing
But Mr.. Herbert is getting into the
right fundamental attitude toward this
as toward other questions, when he in
sists that it is every citizens duty tc
exercise independence in his judgmen
and action in political affairs. This
rule of thought and action will lead ulti
mately to the right settlement OF many
grave questions. Mr.. Herbert's acces
sion to the ranks of influential men o
the South who are kicking over thu
party traces and breaking the party
harness is a matter of patriotic con
graduation.

An Act OF Folly Recalled,

The late Governor Pingree was very
likely the ''crank" he was derided; he
was certainly erratic, and mingled with
the good there was in him there was
undoubtedly large alloy of the Old
Adam. The evil will be buried with
his bones and the good will live after
him. The late philanthropist, crank,
politician, or whatever men may please
to call him, was said to be in Europe,
at the time OF his death, on self
appointed mission for the benefit OF
his State. The Brooklyn Eagle ex-
plains, in an editorial article republish-
ed on this page, what that mission was.
1t was matter of practical statesman
ship. Vermont was once persuaded to
pat her hand to the pillow along SIM
liar line of State benefit, but, true to
her invariable faulty in important eco
nomic affairs, incontinently turned
back and with fanatical passion smash
ed the pillow and abandoned very
promising enterprise for repeopling
the abandoned farms" on the hills and
in the valleys, with people of one of
the thriftiest and most intelligent of
the European races, the Swedes.
Under the law of 1888, Governor
Dillingham; appointed Major A. B.
Valentine of Bennington commissioner
of immigration. Major Valentine was
a man of practical affairs, sustaining
the high test involved in the successful
management Of his own business inter-
est. He entered with zeal and we'll
directed effort upon the performance OF
his new and difficult task, and in two
years. time got successfully under way
a work that might reasonably have re-
uuired twice that time. When the
Legislature of 1890 convened the pro-
ject was in satisfactory stage OF per-
Torrance. 1t was just at the point
where resolution, wisdom and per-
sistence in we'll formed and we'll
begun plan was necessary, but because
the work had cost some money, and
would inevitably cost more, in an in
sane fury the legislators turned about
and hamstrung the law under which
Major Valentine had been working
The money expended was thus rem
dered of no avail and the project was
abandoned.

commission of 1880, reactionary legis-

ture, and other public matters of vital

stances of the anarchistic course of the
body the Constitution OF the State de-
signed for making its laws, which it
prescribed should be composed of citi-
zens most noted for virtue aud wisdom,
but which have been often and fatally
conspicuous for abysmal folly. The
causes OF Vermont's stagnation may be
discerned without the use of micro.

The government is not likely to IA
vor the recommendation of Gen. Miles
to order one half of the small force of
about 5000 soldiers, we now have in
Cuba, home at once. The United
States is responsible for the preserva-
ton of law and order in Cuba, and it
would be taking unnecessary chances
to reduce our forces until after the ex-
citing campaign the Cubans are likely
to have for the election of the officials
of their republic is over. 1t would be
a temptation to the disorderly element
to resort to methods in attempting to
carry their plans through that they will
not now dare to use. Those who are
best acquainted with the situation in
Cuba believe it would be very unwise
to withdraw the troops until the Cuban
government is on its feet. The first
consideration OF President Mckinley
and Secretary Root is to see that the
Cuban government is properly esteb-
lished, and that it shall be of the stable,
not the mushroom, sort.

Documentary and proprietary stamp
duties cease today. War taxes also
end on a great variety of articles and
instruments. Complaint is made that
the rules and arrangements Of govern
ment for the redemption of unused
stamps render it practically nugatory.
Happy is the taxpayer who has sailed
close to the wind, followed hand to

closing days of the operations of the
