CHI RCHILL GUILTY AND OUT.
The Serseant's Friends Fan to Have His
Sentence Light ened.

Commissioner Partridge yesterday dis
missed Sergt James Churchill from the
force, after finding him guilty of neglect
OF duty and conduct unbecoming an officer
In not suppressing a large number Of pool
rooms and disordcrly resorts while he was
in command of the Fifth street station.
Churchill was placed in command of the
precinct during the waning days of the
Tammany administration. On April %
of this year wholesale raids were made
over his head by Inspector Cross The
next day Churchill was relieved of his com
mand and sent 10 Morrisania
From there he was transferred to n down
town precinct few days later and placed
on trial before the Commissioner The
trial dragged out for weeks, and then the
Commissioners took more than four months
To go over the evidence which made a stack
Of paper nearly foot and half high.
Some Of the four months, il was said
yesterday. was also devoted to resisting
Efforts of the sergeants influential friends
To get him off with light sentence To
the very last il was assert ed by many per-
sons supposed To be in position To know,
that Churchill would get of with a thirty
day fine.

that American manufacturers may be
able to avail themselves Of the oppor-
tunities offered by the existing Austro-
Hungarian tariffs for n while longer. In
the first place. the Austrian Premier, DR..
Won KoERBER, is still threatened with
Parliamentary obstruction emanating not
only from the Pan-German faction, but
now also from the Czechs. On the other
hand, the Hungarian Parliament may
refuse to permit Mr.. SELL TO accept Il
definite Ausgieich until it shall have OBJ
tanned the sanction OF the Austrian
Reichsrath. This has hitherto proved
understandable. the existing modus rirendi
deriving validity in Austria, as We have
said. only from Ministerial ordinance.
The extreme difficulties encountered
in arranging even a Customs-J Mon for
ten years between the two halves of the
Hapsburg monarchy seem, as we pointed
out the other day, To prove conclusively
that an attempt to comprehend the whole
of Continental Europe in a Customs
Union aimed against the United States
would be found utterly impracticable.

Submissive to Prosperity.

The Springfield Republican submits to
Fate and the election returns. Ii frankly
admit. that above all is it plain that
the revival of the worn old tariff issue as
a trust monopoly issue does not strongly
appeal to the popular mind after the
sorry experience of ls93-91
The people would be very queer people
if they wanted to return To husks and
humbug The Democrats tried to in
ject little life into the dead old tariff
issue. and it was dead as ever. Those
Republicans who have been making Pla-
tonic eyes AZ tariff revision will please
take notice.
The conclusion from the election re-
turns over the country, says our chas-
tened Springfield contemporary, is that
the people are in a submissive mood and
will remain SO until financial and indus
trial revulsion comes.
II Is easy work to be resigned TO pros
perity; and il is mournful truth that
the chief Democratic hope is in hard
times, bad crops and commercial dis
astor. We should like 10 see the Demo-
cratic party become something better
than a panic party.

Unfortunately, what we need most at

both of which have been shamefully

sharply emphasized that regard for

From the Toronto Mat and Empire.
MONTREAL, Oct 3o.-The Montreal Cha mbre

French Ca madam business men OF the me-
tropolis has. through MIR. j. \. Perrault. pro-
nounced itself decidedly against the cstab-
lishment of Canadian branch of the British
navy. The occa sion was an address Of Mr..
+ WYATT OF the British Ma, League. who
explained that the object of the league was
to procure enlistment for the navy. SO that
England may In the future defend Its colonies.
The boards OF trade and chambers Of oom-

Mr.. J. X. Perrault. In a vehement speech.

The speaker assured MIR Wyatt that there
was nothing TO fear from the United States.

Faint Democratic Light.

The large cities Of the country, with
New York a notable exception, voted
generally against the Democrats on Tues
day. Philadelphia gave prodigious
Republican majority. Chicago, which
has Democratic Mayor, was car
ried by the Republicans. Cincinnati
and Pittsburg gave large Republican
majorities. Baltimore usually Demo-
cratic went Republican by a small plu-
rality. The Democratic majority in Bos-
ton fell much below the expectations
of the Democratic campaign managers,
and Albany, traditionally Democratic,
was found in the Republican column.
The farming districts Of the country,
notably in the Middle West, in which
vast ground-swell demand for tariff re-
vision was reported early in the CAM
paign by some fervent lookouts in
Iowa, rolled up even more than their
usual Republican majorities. This was
so in Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota
and Kansas, not forgetting Iowa. In
New York it was the vote Of the rural
districts very largely which saved the
day for the Republican State ticket.
4 marked feature of Tuesdays tri-
umph for the Republicans was the final
severance from the Democratic column,
into which Organism had temporarily
drawn them, of such States as Mon
tana, Idaho. South Dakota, Washington
and probably Colorado. No more hope
for Organism in that region.
In the South, however. though the
margin for Democratic increase was
small, there have been Democratic gains.
Colored Republican votes, efaced by
disfranchisement, were not replaced by
the new white Republican party which
was to rise in North Carolina. Ala
bama, Louisiana and elsewhere North
Carolina, for instance. which BRYAN
carried by 1900 in 1896 and $4,000
in 1900, gave 5000 Democratic ma
jority this year. The lily whites
among the Republicans are, evidently,
elect ion day stay-at- homes"
The election figures Of Tuesday, al
ways excepting New York and the South
from calculations, do not give much
promise of gain for the Democrats.

A Gift TO the Public.

Col. JOHN JACOB Aston, by letter
published in the Scientific American, sur
renders TO the public all his rights. title
and interest in patent No. 800 ,s2l, for a
turbine engine. As the inventor, his hope
is that the development Of the ideal
turbine may be fastened thereby"
The design of the engine is novel. 1t
consists of long hollow shaft or shell,
the inner side of which has blades run
ming so that the steam will turn it in one
direction, and, again, inside of the shell
is solid shaft with the blades set so that
it shall be revolved in the opposite di-
rection. Each shaft holds screw, set
necessarily one behind the other, and
thus we have twin screws without any
change in the form of boat adapted to
propulsion by single screw.
Col. Aston thinks that the advantage
derivable from this design will be re-
duced weight, higher steam efficiency
and higher mechanical efficiency, by
reason Of the reduced size, enabling the
parts 10 be fitted more perfectly, per-
hitting the diminution of friction and
also the reduction of the leakage loss"
This is "A very interesting gift to the
unknown number of inventors struggling
night and day To develop the steam tar
binc. 1t may open the door TO turbine
engine so perfec, as 10 drive out all other
forms, If that should happen, the name
of AsTOR will be entitled to peculiar
Lat N in hn IND
trial world; and, after the exhibition of
public spirit here recorded, no American
would be sorry.

acquired by the city If the city s,wise.
Next Tuesday morning at 100, in the
Borough Office. City Hall, the Board Of
Local Improvements Of the Washington
Heights district will give a hearing on
the petition Of certain Washington
Heights residents that the Morris Jumel
house and grounds be preserved as a
public park. Patriotic sentiment and
common sense both urge that the petit
ton be granted. On the former motive
il is a waste of time to dwell Come
down TO the mcancr question of dollars
and cents. The more memorials of the
past the city keeps from destruction,
the more valuable does the city become.
A huddle of skyscrapers and hotels and
business buildings is without that charm
of age and ssociation which has real
value. Boston has not been as wise as
she should have been, but she has been
wiser than New York. Professions Of
pilgrims from all parts Of the country
go to Boston. Every year Faneuil Hall
and the Old South Church and other
sacred spots of American history allure
more and more visitors. While the
Morris-Jumel place is not n shrine Of
that distinction. it does possess varied
and enduring interest Its preservation
is a clear enough duty; but we are willing
to put the case on low plane. for the
benefit of economists without imagina-
ton. 1t will pay the city to preserve
the Roger Morris house. A specimen
of Colonial architecture will be almost
priceless in another hundred or even
fifty wears.
