In view Of the profound Indignation which
Democratic statesmen have professed TO feel be-
cause Of the Presidents having once welcomed
Booker Washington to q seat at his table, it
was perhaps, natural enough for Republicans
who had been led 20 believe that Mr.. Cleveland
had conferred q similar distinction on one or
more colored brothers TO embrace the oppor-
tunity for q retort with which that supposed
circumstance supplied them. But in our opin-
Ion the process OF replying in kind has gone far
enough Neither the palladium Of our own par
ticular liberties nor the guarantees Of civiliza-
ton IN general have been fortified by the at
tempt TO show that a Republican President
merely followed the example Of a Democratic
predecessor when he invited Mr.. Washington to
luncheon at the White House. Moreover the
always Questionable utility Of the retort has
been destroyed by Mr.. Cleveland's repeated
declarations 20 solicitous correspondents that he
never did anything OF the sort bis assurances
on that vital point were commonly regarded as
sufficiently explicit before the production on the
floor Of the House by Mr.. Bartlett. OF Georgia,
Of the letter which he recently received from
Mr.. Cleveland; but If a painful doubt still

cation Mr.. Cleveland said: 'It so happens that

TFRoM THE TRIBUNE sURBAU.1

WASHINGTON April 13.-The principal effect on
the military and naval mind by to-day's news
from Port Arthur was desire to hear the other
side. The various accounts which can be re-
garded coming from authentic sources COM
bine to create the impression that there was
an engagement between the Russians and the
japanese at sea before the catastrophe to the
Petropavlovsk and that the Russians were
driven back to port This view is prompted by
the dispatch TO the Gar from Admiral Alexiefr.
to which communication officers attach consid-
cradle importance. more for what 1t implies than
for what it really tells. He refers TO the plan
of meeting the enemy, before the approach or
which the Russian fleet evidently retreated IN

superior force of the Japanese whose fleet ap-
pears TO have been suddenly augmented
The incident OF retreat has direct bearing
on the situation. since it shows that the Jap

in the vicinity OF Port Arthur and likely to
take every advantage OF II. 1t has been one OF
the theories of the experts here that the Jap
anese problem would be made easier by Gripping

A VICTORY FOR MERE SENTIMENT"

A VICTORY FOR MERE SENTIMENT"
Some Of the politicians of New-Jersey were
frank in showing their disgust at Governor
Murphy's action IN calling a special session OF
the legislature to pass an act prohibiting pigeon
shooting. 1t was absurd, ridiculous preposter-
GUS and unprecedented TO recall the law maxi
ing body of the State on a mere matter of senti-
menti
Sentiment? Yes, that was the force behind
the Governors proclamation Material con-
sideradons were on the other side. Some
people were making a few dollars out of the
trap shooting, and several politicians received
substantial campaign contributions from those
who wished TO have the sport protected
against legislative interference.
But there are citizens Of New-Jersey lust senti-
mental enough to think that the elimination of
brutalizing influences is more important to the
State than campaign contributions or the rails
ing Of pigeons for shooting matches; and these
people don't allow sneers or ridicule to turn
them from their purpose. 1t was they who, NJ
a mere matter OF sentiment, compelled the
abandonment Of racetrack gambling, though In
that case 1t WAS necessary to coin the senti-
ment into votes In order to clinch and seal the
determination Wiser in his generation than
many other politicians Franklin Murphy knew
the terrific force that these sentimentalists could
WELD when aroused, and he needed the re-
quest to put this matter of Strengthening pigeons
squarely before the legislature. The Governors
policy was most emphatically indicated by tho
affirmative vote on the pigeon bill Possibly
some Of those who voted aye when their names
were called were not enthusiasts in the cause.
but they realized the potency Of that moral
feeling which the Governor had SO accurately
gagged and responded to. Tt was great vic
tory for sentiment May I be many a long
day before that element Loses its vitality in
