THE couRr Mil pEolnE.

Daniel +. Stewart having engaged
counsel we shall probably now learn
whether the Citizens Republican ticket
was refused a place on the official ball
lot because of partisan motives, or from
la more worthy motive. The principle
involved is everything. The effort of
one member Of the board to keep the
Regular Republican ticket off of the
ballot shows how far a hostile commits
sion might go
1t is a question of how strictly the
statutes bearing on the matter Of plac-
ing tickets on the ballot shall be con-
strued. II the letter Of the law must he
followed strictly then, we can imagine
circumstances under which the ticket
of principal party might be shut out
II is we'll for our voters that Mr.. Stew.
art should have engaged such eminen
counsel. since the question at issue Il
most important We think the Law
goes too Ear. anyway in protecting
the principal parties and in discour
aging independent voting. When a
number of citizens wish 10 support
ticket, no matter how absurd it may b.
they should not have their right
abridged arbitrarily by a par
tisan election commission. Tn
decision Of the court viii settle it. bu
it would be a misfortune were the de
cision against the filing Of tickets un
der the circumstances of this case.

Mr. cIeveland,s reaohinn.

From the New York Tribune.
Mr.. Cleveland at the Carnegie Han
meeting made an impressive statement OF
the claims of humanity upon the Russian
Government for the protection of the per-
secuted Jews. with equal impressiveness
he warned his fellow countrymen against
the vice Of phariseetsm and compelled
them to face the fact of their own race
prejudice and their failure as a nation TO
mote out justice to the workers OF mob
violence. 1t is right that our blood should
be stirred by the accounts of owtrages in
Russia, that our voices should be raised
in protest, and that our hands should be
extended to give aid. But 1t rs also right
that we should give the same considera-
tion to the Russian Government that we
should expect for our own in similar cir
cumstances. Moreover, il the humani-
tartan impulse and broadmindedness
aroused by the persecution Of the Jews are
genuine, We shall find ourselves striving
against our own passions and prejudices,
and an OF us, from Maine to Florida, unit
ing to curb our own riotous instincts and
to secure for all persons i'm our country,
native and foreign, white and black, the
equal protection of our laws.
Mr.. Cleveland justly recalled the murd-
erous assaults made upon the Chinese I'm
wyoming and upon the Italians i'm Louisi-
ana, and he might appropriately have
mentioned the uncounted deeds of violence
against the negro. As "a Democrat and a
statesman whose recent utterances on the
race question have made him popular in
the South. he might have raised an ef-
fecuve voice against the particular form
of race prejudice manifesting itself in
monstrous injustice there, while he was
onjoining humbleness Of spirit when we
cry out against the oppression Of the
Jews.
Mr.. Cleveland's rebuke ITO the blatant
mischief makers who are loudly calling
for precipitate action by our government
will carry great weight. Himself an ex-
President, he understands the treatment
of officials managing public affairs which
patriotism and fairness dictate. The fact
uhat authority is now vested in his pO-
litical opponents gives all the more weight
/ to the lesson conveyed by his words:
Our public servants should hear us
speak, but we certainly ought to be justi-
fled in trusting the care OF our national
honor and duty i'm the premises, and the
enforcement OF the humane instincts OF
our people, so far as this may be within
governmental action, to those charged
with the responsibilities OF managing ouI
public affairs"

perfect in America? Yet the songs
are as representative in their way as
the nag is The history and the hopes
of the American people. all they have
been and are and will be. the national
solidarity and pride, are i'm those famil-
lar airs. The emotion of a whole ma
tion is latent i'm them. In times of peril
they will move crowds to tears. How
ever deficient as poetry, they are the
symbols of an irresistible sentiment
and they transcend all poetry i'm their
appeal to the national Imagination. Al
most doggerel. if you choose, but dog
gerel with heroic and epic potentiali-
ties.
SO with many religious hymns, writ
with little skill of songcraft. simple of
thought, ragged OF rhyme, justly sub
ject to the contempt of Triggs; but they
have a noble or pathetic meaning to
many of us. Some quiet corner of our
youth lives in them still. They speak
to multitudes the sacred language of
faith and hope. Poor poetry, some of
them, but tremendous symbols

quarters to be Removed
While Station Is Built

The office of superintendent Barnard,
the general telegraph offices and the civil
engineers rooms now located on the sec
ond and third floors of the French street
station may be removed to the machine
shops as temporary quarters until the new
depot is completed, when they are forced
to leave their present place.
The railroad company has tried 10 Sc
cure building in the neghborhood of the
present station but it is said their efforts
have not been successful and they are
forced 10 seek quarters where they can
find them.
The work of removal. 81 is thought will
begin within the next six weeks, as by
that time the oil house across from tine
station will be removed to Todd's cut and
"a temporary structure win be built ITO ac-
commodate the passengers, while Lhe
handsome new station is being put up.
The temporary building will he one
story affair, containing waiting rooms, Of
nces, baggage department. express and
telegraph offices. The building of the sta

not be completed within "a year after
starting, but every convenience possible
will be placed in the temporary depot.

False Naturalization.

From The New York Mail and Express.
The Bureau of immigration has planned
for this summer a great deal OF reform
atory work. Most of this relates ITO more
strict enforcement OF the Immigration law
and to preventing it's evasion by way OF
the Canadian and Mexican borders. The
personnel and discipline of the force Of In.
spectors are to be improved.
The energy that has been infused into
this bureau is producing praiseworthy re-
suits i'm the discovery and nullihcation OF
fraudulent naturalization papers. 1T APP
pears that thousands of these have been
issued in large cities, i'm some cases to
enable immigrants TO procure work, as on
the subway i'm New York, and in other
cases for political purposes. For these
false certificates fee is collected from the
Immigrant.
This Is not only a swindle from which
the newcomer should be protected but a
fraud upon the government and an attack
upon the purity and intelligence of the
ballot. IL is we'll TO detect and destroy
these false certificates. But they should
be traced to their origin. The violators OF
the law should be prosecuted and the sys-
tenn UproOted.

THE TAX RATE

City Council has made its estimate
Of the revenues which will be available
for the coming year. and of the expendi-
lures which viii be necessary. The
tax-rate viii continue the same as at
present. We trust that no mistake has
been made this time Council is re-
quired by law to pass an annual appro-
priation ordinance, and to levy the tax
accordingly. TO borrow money for anv
purpose other than something extraor-
binary ana unforeseen is prohibited by
law. And, yet. that is just what Coun =
ell did last year.
There are those who hold that the
tax rate is too high, but the vital ques-
ton is in the expenditure of the reve-
nues that win be derived from il. II
would have been gratifying had our
needs been such as to warrant a reduc-
tion, yet the matter that is vital is Ia
see that each dollar that is expended
gives the city at least dol
lars worth of value. No progres
sive community can get along with
soant revenues. Progress in business
requires the constant expenditure OF
money and we cannot afford to be Mig
gardly in our municipal expenditures.
But there is reason for complaint
over the fact that thousands Of dollars
In the past have been wasted, and other
thousands have never been collected
and this is because Of the neglect of
Council. In its hands rests the power,
through the city solicitor. to compel the
payment of taxes. Yet there is a vast
sum that could be collected, and no
steps in that direction have been taken.
There has been some misapprehensior
as to whore the blame belongs for this
neglect, but IL should be understood
that Council is solely responsible. II
has the power to require settlements
ana had its duty been done the tax
rate might have been made lower.

THE
TATTLER

Judge John II. Reagan, sole survivor
Of the Davis Cabinet, who attended the
reunion in New Orleans has been in
terviewed. AS to the intentions of Mr..
Davis after the fall of Richmond, the
judge spoke with accurate knowledge.
1T was on Sunday. April 3 1866" he
said, when President Davis and his
Cabinet abandoned Richmond and
headed southwark. AT Danville, va.
the news of the surrender of Lee was
received. After this the President
thought that if we could get below the
zone of Federal positions, cross into
Mississippi and unite with the COM
mand of General Kirby Smith, at the
head of the trans Mississippi forces
we could reach the plains with $4,000
or $4,000 soldiers, and there, where we
would not be hemmed i'm by the rail-
roads 80 that troops might be massed
about us, nor by telegraphs, which
would divulge our movements we could
live on beef and grass and make an
indefinitely prolonged resistance which
would win for us better terms than
those of unconditional surrender.
"The plan was not to be realized. Its
futility was admitted even before the
capture of President Davis. I was with
the President at the time of his cap
ture, which occurred on the banks of
the Ocmulgee river, about so miles
south of Hawkinsville, Ga. 1t is USE
less for me to now deny the story that
the President was seeking to escape
disguised in woman's clothes. The fall
sity Of this charge was proven long
ago.
1T is not generally known, but there
were two avenues of ascape commend
ed to President Davis some weeks be-
fore his capture, either. of which prom
sed immunity and one OF which was
absolutely sure. One was suggested
by General Breckenridge and myself
We urged the President to leave us and
go to Cuba via a Florida port, and
thence to the mouth of the Rio Grande,
we to take the remnants of the troops
and go westward. crossing the Missis-
sippi If we could.
"I will never leave Confederate soil
he said, while there are Confederate
troops upon it,"
The other offer was direct and safe
beyond peradventure. as It was from
no less a parsonage than General Sher-
man. General Sherman said to Gem
eral Johnston that President Davis
might leave the country on an Ameri-
can ship under free conduct, taking
whom he pleased and what he pleased
with him.
""I will accept no favors from the
Federal Government said Mr. Davis"

DUTY IN wAR AND PEACE.

Why is It that under a government so
beneiicent that men have died for IT,
there are millions Of respectable cit-
zens who win not go out of their way
to protect It at the ballot-box? Today
we have shown true regard for the
brave men who have died in the service
: Of their country, and yet many hold
the opinion that the government can get
along whether they register their true
sentiments at the polls or not When
there is a question Of supreme moment
TO be determined, Il may be by the ar
bitriment Of arms. In that case It all
comes back to the men who carry the
muskets. In the solution of ordinary
affairs the ballot-box is the final test,
and the individual voter renders the
decision.
Few men will desert their colors in
the presence Of the enemy; still fewer
win remain Indifferent while their lib
critics are attacked. and nobody win re-
frain from having an opinion or to
take a side when the conflict is on. Yet
when we come to decide important af-
fairs Of government by the ballot, men
do all Of these things. There are per-
sons wo boldly go over to the enemy
for the avowed purpose Of lettering
their private fortunes. Others desert
their principles through personal
friendships, and finally there is a class
too lazy or Indifferent to go to the
polls.
The doctrine that the citizen who al
ways rests under governmental pro-
lection has a perpetual duty to perform
should receive greater insistence.
The citizen wants many things He
demands protection to life and prop
erty. educational advantages, and ,
thousand blessings that only a benen-
cent government can bestow. In re
turn he pays taxes, but money doesn'
make a government It needs the per
sonal element-the wisdom and direct
ing force that lie in the mass; and NJ
one is entitled to the full benefits o
governmental protection who doesn'
do his duty as conscientiously at tn
polls as in the home or in the churef
There is saying that is entirel
too common: My vote is my own, an
can do with it as 1 see fit" 1t ism
true When the liberties Of the coun
try are at stake, our lives are not on
own. but the Government can com
mand us. Likewise the ballot has bee
given us in trust, the obligation bein
that we shall exercise the franchis
according TO our conscience and be-
judgment We should remember that OF
ballot is the Governments, and thi
we are the trustees. Peace hath i
duties no less than war.

child who would make the best record
for regularity and punctuality. At the
closing exercise one little girl was call
ed to the front and presented with the
medal, the donor explaining to the au-
dience that Alice had made an abso-
lutely perfect record, as she has never
been absent or late. When Alice
heard this she handed back the medal,
saying: Il did not have a perfect rec
ord. / was late one day." and told the
circumstances of her tardiness.
Bishop Potter was impressed by the
incident. and at the earliest opportun-
ity questioned the little one.
why did you not take the medal,
Alice?" he asked.
1T would have been telling a lie"
was the reply.
would your teacher have known
you were truthful"
mo; she did not see me come in
that day"
Would your mother have lnown?"
mo, sir. never told her about it,"
We'll, who would have known that
you were telling lie?" pursued the
bishop. Alice's little face was very
pink as she looked into the bishops
eyes and said:
II would"
The child's delicate sense of honor
delighted the bishop. so that he caused
a beautiful medal TO be made. which he
sent to her, explaining why he did so.
In reply he received this letter:
Dear Bishop: Many thanks for the
pretty medal 1t is much nicer than
the one 1 didn't get. do not under
stand why you send me medal for
telling the truth. when you have al
ways told us I'm Sunday school that we
should never tell lies. thought you ex-
pected us to be truthful Your little
friend, Alice.

Patriotic Hymn.

From the New York sun.
Is there anything more cheap and
vulgar than the national anthem of our
English brethren, God Save the
King?
20 Lord, our God arise,
Scatter his enemies,
And make them fall!
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
on him our hopes we fix,
God save us all"
England, / hope, knows better now.
But she has acted on that motto for a
thousand years"
The words of God Save the King
are feversh and foolish enough, consid-
cred as literature, but the spirit of
them is the spirit of Old Testament
commination, of the patriotic aspira-
tion. of the national feeling of every
people. "Hurrah for ourselves and
damn our enemies;" so we might
! translate crudely, but essentially, every
national hymn. England win have tC
fail lower than her worst enemies eX.
pect before she Will cease TO "act OF
that motto" When patriotism is sup
planted by patriotism, then or
der your ascension robe.
The tune counts and the words arr
nothing. The Rev. Dr. Smiths words
to this same tune, here called "Amer
ica," are poor stuff as poetry Their
is no heavcn-born genius i'm Mr.. Key
20, say, can you see2" and the mail
merit of Yankee Doodle" is that il i
the only tune that some ears cal
swear to. The force and value of thes
national airs are not found in tn
