candidate for governor. We may easily
believe. therefore. that before he takes
sides against Mr.. Grady he will be part1c-
uIar to ascertain how Mr.. Murphy feels
about the matter.
The present objection to Mr.. Grady
rests upon no new discoveries of any
kind. He Is the same man he was, with
the same record, when two months ago
Mr.. Murphy renominated him for the
senate. There were democrats who OPP
posed that action, but Mr. Murphy would
not heed them. He stood by his OLD
friend, and virtually Endorsed his whole
legislative course. Will he continue to
stand by him? If he does, Mr.. Grady
will be very strong man at Albany the
coming session.
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Croker were
never friends. Neither man had any re-
spect for the other. But Mr.. Dix and
Mr.. Murphy are close friends, and each
has it In his power to do the other con-
siderable service. The probability is that
they will work together cordially for at

Boilers and 1896.

The name of Richard Olney appears in
the gossip about the Massachusetts SEN
atorship. Intellectually and otherwise. he
measures up to the Office. In period or
four years he made good deal of repu-
tation in the political world Entering 1t
at the top. so to say, he impressed him
self on the country almost Immediately
as first-cass man in every respect. A
stranger to the country at large, and
without experience in executive Office
he was soon a recognized force in ma
tional affairs.
Mr.. Olneys training had been for and
at the bar. He had for years been a
leading Boston lawyer. He was at home,
therefore. in the Department of Justice
But, transferred from that department to
the Department of State, he grasped the
duties of diplomacy with ease, and was
shortly enjoying an International fame.
We shall hear of him longer as Secretary
of State than as Attorney General in the
second Cleveland administration.
For time the members of Mr.. Cleve-
lands second cabinet were under the ban
politically. With one exception. they had
stood with their chief against Mr.. Bryan
and his platform in 1896. Hoke Smith
withdrew from the Interior Department
I'm order to be regular. Tie others agreed
with Mr.. Cleveland as to the party ticket
and their influence, with his, was thrown
against it. Naturally, Mr.. Bryan scored
the boilers, and blacklisted every one of
them.
Since then matters have changed some
what for several of those men. They did
not change for Mr.. Carlisle, for when
he left the Treasury Department he re-
tired to private life, and asked nothing
further of the public in the way Of office.
They have not changed for Col. Herbert

life at the close OF his cabinet service.

Politics and the Tariff.

AS time passes We shall probably hear
fewer and fewer suggestions about early
fine work. of the two parties toward
each other. Just now they are numerous.
The republicans are reported as schem-
ing to put the democrats in a hole. and
the democrats as considering measures to
put the finishing touches to their oppo-
nents in some way before the new Con-
gress assemblies. AS entertainment the
speculation is good, although in spots it
taxes credulity.

statement that the best politics is straight

matters of public policy An advantage
thus gained could not last. In the end 1T

polls should be interpreted fairly and lit

In the general opinion. the Payne law
stands condemned by the people. 1t was
a leading, if not the leading, issue east
and west. and the democratic majorities
In both sections were large. In the man
states the democratic party increased its
representation in both the Senate and
the House.
AS the people want the Payne law re-
vised, how soon should the work begin?
The first answer is, at once. AS soon as
possible. Why not, it is asked, at a spe-
cial session of the new Congress to be
called for next spring? Why not act
while the instructions are fresh? What
II the House faces one way and the Sem
ate and the President face the other way?
That same situation will exist in the

the result of the Sth instant. and let it
appear, If it Is the truth, that not until
another democratic victory has been won
can such a tariff bill be passed as the
temper of the electorate seems now to
demand?
These are serious questions about the
most serious of matters, and not to be
answered in a spirit of mere party. ma
neuvering. 1t is to be doubted If they
will be so answered. The President Is not
q politician In the ordinary sense Of the
word, and the democratic party has too
much at stake to permit those of its lead
ers famous only for finesse to decide its
course. 1t is not possible to take the
tariff out of politics, but there should be
just as little Juggling with 1t as possible
for mere party ends.

Ware of the red-headed interview.
Senator Scott of West Virginia. while ~
Georgia attending the funeral of Senator
Clay, was made to say some extremely
bitter things about the recent republican
oyerturn and reasons for it. He has read
the article with amazement since his
arrival in Washington, and recollects no
such expressions by him. 1t is a safe
assumption that seasoned politicians
these days are doing far more thinking
than talking. They have plenty of time
in which to prepare opinions about re-
suit which staggered many of them.

Tricks in the Air.
From the New York World.

Every aeroplanist must in common pru-
dence learn to volplane to earth If his
motor stops. He must learn TO curve his
descent if the straight line is imprac-
ticable. But to drop at too steep an
angle or to cut a series of sharp curves
with the plane standing on one ear is
unnecessary and impractical. Rising to
extremely great heights also has not the
slightest promise of practical use, even
in war, where men are expected to take
risks. The dead aeroplanist was known
to have contemplated the feat of looping
the loop in the air. The lea fascinates
other sky-jockeys as the triple sOmersau t
does circus men. Neither achievement as
worth a broken neck, nor is any other
merely spectacular feat.
