The Court of Appeals, at Glenn
Falls, N. Y, has decided that the
obligations of secret orders are not
binding when q witness is un der oath
before court. 1t seems that Aspley
was attorney for an estate, and declared
that he had taken a Masonic oath
never to divulge certain secrets in
connection Herewith. He was fined
and appealed first to the appellate
division, then to the Court of Appeals,
and the action OF the lower court was
sustained by both.

BALDwIN's California Arrow" an
airship that was, the other day. steered
in all direction at st. Louis, at an
altitude of 1900 feet above the fair
grounds and was made to return ia
the place OF starting, seems to have
gone far towards solving the problem
Of aerial navigation. From the meager
report at hand, it seems to be of the
screw order of elevation instead OF the
balloon type. When the daring aero.
naut safely returned from his great
exploit, the machine with its op.
orator was seized upon by the delight
ed spectators and carried about on
the shoulders OF many men.

Where Are We Atp

Local issues, or personal environ
ments, do not excuse any true partisan
from support of the national nominees
that have been placed regularly upon
the ti;ket of either party. The basis
OF their organization is to provide
means for advancing principle, and
organization cannot be maintained
without some means Of compelling
support OF rule of the majority;
hence discipline is required of all
members of party taking part in its
deliberations and shaping its policy.
The plain duty of all true partisans is
to support its platform and nominees,
under all ordinary circumstances. The
right Of revolt, like the resort to revo-
luton, is OF that extreme nature only
to be excused by imminent peril to
cardinal principles that possess no
other means for relief.
In view OF these impregnable pre-
misses, we cannot help but think that
.he present conditions Of both parties
n this State have led to tacit under.
standings, if not explicit agreements,
which, if carried into practice by ap.
proval, will lead to destruction OF both,
by ultimate confusion and chaos.
When time is given in Democratic
meetings for Republican speakers to
,ulogi,e Mr.. Ro osevelt and his tariff
and expansion policy, it must be that
it is with the expectation of making
votes for the opposing party from the
Administration ranks, and when Dem.
ocrats abandon the discussion of lead.
ing issues in the national platform for
lear Of offending their Republican
friends, it certainly shows that what
has been regarded as perfidy on the
part of the individual can only be
justified by the unusual and by no
means tenable position that large
crime is OF less importance than a
small one, or that completely in an
admittedly wrong, may be changed
from one of ignominy to one of honor
1t must be admitted that the sole
object of such unholy alliances is sue.
cess, and when analysed closely, purely
personal success, for no great issues are
embodied in county or State contention
that are not subordinated by larger,
greater and better expression in the
national platform, and they can only
be made effective by election of a
President pledged to inject its princi-
Piles into the governmental policy OF
the nation.
To admit that the party has no
chance of success, is an act OF coward
dice, based upon individual judgment;
to proclaim defeat is uujustifiable, un-
fair and in violation OF the plainest
principles OF party usage, and to CON-
promise principle by an agreement for
a joint campaign, or q joint ballot, is
the rankest of treason to party organ.

1t may not be that it was the intent
to be disloyal to principle, but that it
has had that effect. we submit to the

THE LITTLE BROWN MAN DEVOID OF
CoNsCIENCE.-Dr. August Greth. of
San Francisco, inventor and navigator
of the air-ship California Eagle" has
received q proposal from Japan to
carry dynamite into the air and let it
fall upon the Russian fleets, armies
and cities. 1t has been held that
hitherto such suggestions OF destruc-
tive appliance have met with tacit dis
favor as being barred by conceded
ideas of civilized warfare. One can
scarcely see the difference, however, in
hurting torpedoes charged with the
most mighty of explosives from the
water front, or of dropping dynamite
from the clouds.

A SHORT Cur TO MATRIMONIAL
Chicago dispatch, of last week, notes q
remarkable case of serene confidence
with which Charles w. Taber aud Miss
May Hacket, "Innocents Abroad"
procured marriage license and start
ed into housekeeping, blissfully ignor-
ant of the fact that anything more was
needed to make them a model married
couple. 1t seems, however, that the
mother OF the miss, after reasonable
lapse of time, made visit to the dove
cote to see how things were progress.

expressing her delight at the apparent

framed to hang in the parlor." "Did
you have no ceremony" inquired the
Mortified mother. "Why certainly
not" replied innocence. What's the
use, when we have license?" Iii
cense we hanged" exclaimed the ex-
cited mother. "Get your cloak! Call
Charles! Come on!" and before the
young people could hardly realize that
great blunder had been committed,
Mrs. Hackett had them before his
honor, Justice Charlton, and had the
knot tied according to law and order.

IT is now reported that the Russian
fleet mistook their own torpedo boats
for those of the enemy, and opened
FIRE upon the fishing fleet to be doin'
something" The Russians, all along,
have handled their naval fleet as tho
boy did when he put q lighted
"punk" into his pocket with the bunch
of fire-crackers. A large proportion of
her ships, now in Neptune's locker,
have been sent there by their own Pc
tards. Their naval officers, it seems,
are now in such . perturbed state of
mind that all that is necessary to
start its fleet to belching fire and
flame, and hurting shot and shell, is
for a.porpoise to disturb the placidity
of the oceans depths.

If the reception to Judge Parker, in
New York, Monday night, is a fair
indication of success, there is no doubt
of triumph, so far as the city, county
and State are concerned. His address
was confined mainly to discussion of
trusts and the tariff, with side glance
at Republi can methods OF collection
and use OF corruption funds. The
press accounts say that the demon.
stralion for him was unparalleled,
and it has been seldom if ever equaled,
anywhere, in intensity OF feeling as
shown by the tumultu.us applause.
