zens of the state and empire which, after
1880, you are going to find located on
these lakes, right near where we stand
And yet, throwing all jesting aside, we
as Americans want to get on to a little


broader scale than simply our states.
We want to find and realize the feel
ing that humanity is the same on both
sides of the fence; that it is the same on
both sides of any imaginary line; the
prosperity one is the prosperity of all.
We want no more of the state bride that
only reaches to the line of the state. We
want the pride of an ambition, of busi-
ness brain, that will take US all over our
own land, and show us that the prosper
ity OF one state is the prosperity of all,
and that the growth of one is the
growth of all. stood on the steps of a

we raise grain and corn and wheat. /
said to myself my duty is, after all. to
remember this 500 people, to feel that
they are as much my neighbOrs, that
their interests are as much mine, that
i'm my public and private action i should
do as much for these 5000 people as /
would for 5000 people living in my own
state. That ought to be the spirit of all
of us, north and south, east and west,
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, that we
are one people and one nation, with one
common welfare in which we should all
be interested. That is the platform of
the future American citizen. 1t is well

state if we do not carry it too far. like
a man of that kind. l like those folks
who come up here from New England
and tell us what a wonderful people
they are, and how high Bunker Hill
is, and how salt their Goldfish are. They
make better American citizens perhaps,

citizen i'm some other land than if he did
not love that place. think man who
loves one woman devotedly will love
all women moderately, and the man who
loves his neighbOr has heart for man
kind. That is all right. But we do not
want to carry this notion Ofstate, or pride
of state rights, one inch beyond the line
of our duty as American citizens i'm the
greater and wider sense. Keep up our
states just as we have, and name our
children with the last name of our
states, as Gen. Grants father named
him-U. S. Michigan, U. S. Massachu-
setts, Q. s. Mississippi, and SO on
through; and the time is coming, and it
is not far distant, when that will be the
mark and the distinguishing brand of
every man that loves the land he lives

The action of this body yesterday in its
meeting at the st. James Hotel was in ac-
cordance with previous expectation. No
body doubted that the seats of the Tam
many members of the committee would be
declared vacant. The action by which they
were communicated was in strict pur-
suance of the intentions of the Democratic
State Convention. There is no ques-
tion that the Tammany members Of
pointed, nor that they would have been en-
titled to act as members if they had not
bolted the leading nomination of the party.
They were appointed before the bolt took
place, the Convention not desiring to take
official notice Of an unexecuted threat. One
of the Tammany members, Mr.. Mitchell,
who did not participate in the bolt and de-
clares his fealty to the whole ticket, is
allowed to retain his place; but the others
were formally ruled out. After the
bolt the State Convention authorized
the State Committee to declare and fill
vacancies. The vacancies were declared in
pursuance of that authority, but they have
not been filed and probably will not be
until after the reorganization of the city
democrats under the auspices Of the State
Committee, which has prudently refrained
from recognizing the Irving Hall faction.


The appearance of the Tammany men,
bers of the committee to claim their seats
evinced singular assurance and effrontery.
The State Committee is committee of the
State Convention, bound to act in con-
formity with its instructions. When Tam
many seeded from the Convention it vir-
tually relinquished its places on the State
Committee, precisely as when member of
the Legislature resigns he can no longer
expect to serve on any of its standing COM
mittees. The Convention itself virtually
revoked its appointment OF the Tammany
members when it passed the resolution re-
quiring reorganization Of the city demo-
Gratis and empowered the State Committee
to declare and fill vacancies in its own
body. The audacity of claiming seats in
the committee after that action by the State
Convention was an exhibition Of the
''cheek" in which Tammany was never de-
fcient


The necessity for their formal expulsion
grows out of the question which is pending
in the Police Board. Tammany sets up
claim that it is entitled to the democratic
inspectors Of election, and the hitch
in the appointment of inspectors grows
out of this claim. The law requires
that they shall be appointed with
reference to party differences con State is
sues" The leading State issue is whether
Robinson or Cornell shall be chosen
Governor. Tammany does not con-
ceal it's intention to defeat Robinson
and elect Cornell. Tammany inspec-
tors would act in the interest of
the republican party, and the whole four
thousand inspectors might as well be given
avowedly to the republicans as to be
divided equally between the supporters of
Kelly and the supporters of Cornell, since
every man who votes for Kelly aims to de-
feat Robinson by giving half vote to Cor
nell.

All the doctors are now crying out that
peace is secured in Europe, and there is as
much effusiveness over the announcement
as if the armed legions of two mighty hosts
drawn up for battle had suddenly received
orders to mingle their colors and join in q
grand march past 1t will soon, we hope,
be time for us to know exactly what Eu-
rope has been saved from. So far we are
favored with the news that Russia has been
held in on one side and Franco on the
other. Austria is to pursue her occupation
of Bosnia and finally annex the territory
she occupies Italy and Turkey are, there
fore, to be held in also. for Italy is jealous
of the Austrian advance and Turkey loses
by it. One thing, however. comes out
pretty clearly-namely, that Prince Bis
marck, by his visit to Vienna and tho chorus
which has been raised in the German press,
palpably at official instigation, puts the
onus of an attempt to disturb the peace
of Europe on Russia. Indeed, the outcry
is directed in q particular manner against
Prince Gortschakoff, the Russian Chancel-
lor, and the unfavorable comparisons made
between Gortschakoff and Schouvaloff seem
intended to convey that it is only the for
mer who stands in the way of perfect con-
cord between the three imperial Powers.
But for him, it is argued, France would not
have the nonsense about a r<udncte revived.
France, 1t may be remarked, has not been
talking revenge at all. What if the whole
thing should resolve itself into personal
fight by Bismarck to get Gortschakoff dis
credited at home and sent into privacy
That would be ridiculous mouse indeed I;
but Prince Bismarck does not neglect his
enemies, great or small.

ing that it is improbable the main
body Of the expedition was involved in
the attack. Defeat for the main body would
mean o precipitate rush for the Caspian at
Krasnovodsk. To England this check or
defeat is of Importance, because it relieves
the army operating in Afghanistan from
the fear which seemed to oppress the
Indian government that Merv would
be in Russian hands before spring
and that the Muscovite would have
to be reckoned with there. The check at
Cock Tepe is one Of those things that

We catch from time to time notes OF
trouble, now from the new Roumelia and
now from the Greek border, which sug-
gest that the everlasting Eastern question
is not to be allowed rest. 1t was the fault
of Greece that during the Russo-Turkish
war she took no step to help herself, and
now she finds herself, though enti-
tied under the Berlin Treaty to rectifi-
cation of her frontier, unable to enforce it.
when Russia was fighting the battle for the
subject races in Turkey, and now England
who, as then, has business relations with the
Sultan, cannot take more than benevolent
interest in her fortunes. Austria does not
care to have the difficulty settled for obvi-
GUS reasons, and Russia turns contemptu-
ously away. The upshot is that if Greece
wants the new frontier she must take it, for
Turkey, owing to circumstances, is In po-
sition to make war for it without moving
officially in the matter. The Albanian
Mussulmans, who may be styled the Turk
ish Know Nothings, are quite prepared to
render an account of the Greeks without
calling on the government at Constantine
pie. At the bare report that Janina had
been ceded to Greece nine thousand armed
Albanians gathered there to prevent it.
While sympathy with the Turks is not very
general it must be said that the Greeks,
for all their classic past, are not likely to
evoke any more, particularly when we re-
member the gallant part played by the tiny
State of Montenegro while Greece was
standing idle.

ambition of Mr.. Tilden the guiding princi-
pie of his selections


There has now arisen q disgraceful mud
die in the Department of Parks, in which
the accusations and counter accusations of
the Commissioners convince the public that
they should all be removed without delay.
But the Mayors hands are tied by the ju-
power of removal to nullity. While the
suits relating to the Police Commissioners
are pending the Mayor cannot safely take
the first step toward the removal Of the
Park Commissioners, whose inefficiency is
demonstrated by the scandalous condition
impeached by their mutual accusations. If
the law clothed him with the clear and pre-
else authority which he ought to possess
every member of the Park Com
mission should be removed at once.
The Mayor is not blamable that
If he had the power Of summary removal
he would justly incur public indignation If
he should appoint servile creatures of MIR.
Tilden instead of filling their places with
men of too much standing to be the
tools of a political faction. The Mayor cannot
justly be blamed either for the removals of
Police Commissioners which he has made,
or for his failure to remove the Park Com
missioners, since his authority is in litiga-
tion but he has incurred the reasonable
distrust of citizens by his subserviency to
another mans ambition in the exercise of
his power of appointment, in which there
was no legal obstruction to faithful
discharge of his duty.

Although the race for the Ashley belt is
but forty-eight hours old it has already
developed results wholly unlocked for at
this stage Of the proceedings, and which
have upset for the present, if not perma-
nently, the representations Of shrewd cal
culators and the prophecies of the WISE
acres. Weston. the father of long-distance
walking, has been put aside by some
of his ambitious progeny, as it were,
and. though the double holder Of the
championship and the best record, he
is already many miles to the rear in the
long race True the length of the contest
is in favor of the recovery of lost ground,
and he recovered in the latter part of the
London race the distance lost in the earlier
hours of that contest. But Weston is not
the man he was then-in appearance, in
condition or in disposition-and to win now
will require a greater effort than he was
called on then to make. No one who saw
in London in June the fresh and COM
paratively ruddy face of the winner
would recognize it now on the New York
track. The man is not the same in actual
condition to-day, whatever his admirers
may say. The lead obtained by Rowell is
now so great, and the endurance of the little
Briton is so assured, that, barring accident,
Weston cannot without wonderful effort
hope to head him. Hazael, man with won-
derful records of speed and endurance, fell
back in the race, not from any lack Of na-
tive power. but simply because he had an
over confidence in his ability and came
the accomplishment of feat of long endur-
ance. Meanwhile Guyon, who was care
fully prepared, and did not underrate any
Of his adversaries, has secured and holds o
commanding lead for second place. While
all the other contestants hold the places
which it was thought they would divide
among them the four men named have con-
stituted the surprises of the first two days.
Weston may possibly, will not probably,
better his position appreciably; Hazael
could have won the belt, or forced o grand
paco had he been obedient to the rules OF
training and since the start obeyed
his advisers rather than his inclina-
tlons ana appetite; ne is capable
of great things yet if he will believe it and
rouse himself, but as matters were last
night Rowell will be, barring accident,
first over the winning score, if he is not
pushed more than he has been thus
far. The question of place can be affected
by two circumstances-an accident to
Rowell, or thorough determination on
the part of Weston and Hszael to do that
which is even yet in them to accomplish.
Let them be UP and doing, and, rs q race is
never lost until it is won, they may place
upon the score board on Saturday next
figures which will not alone be gratifying
to themselves but surprise to the specta-
tors who have been watching them since

At the last great walking match in this
city the contestants complained (and with
reason) of the foulness of the atmosphere.
To the poisoning of the air, induced by the
breath of thousands, the burning of myriads
of gas lamps, was added the smoke Of
thousands of cigars and pipes. The ven-
tilation besides was poor. In some respects
there has been an improvement in the air
at Madison Square Garden. The use of the
electric light at night removes one
great cause of atmospheric pollution;
but the complaint about smoking
is again brought forward. 1t is true that
the people in charge at the Garden issued
an edict against smoking on the floor level
with the track. but they did not enforce it
until yesterday, by which time some dam
age had been done to the walkers with SEN
sitive stomaohs. Walking swiftly, or run
ming as they do, they continually consume
air at an enormously increased rate, and if
that air is saturated with tobacco smoke it
can be easily judged how detrimental, how
nauseating it's effect would be: Why not
at matches like this forbid smoking alto
gether? Putting the smokers in solid ranks
few feet above the walkers heads will in
the peculiarly ventilated place be little i'm
provement. It is not too much to ask the
devotees of this sport that they should re-
frain from poisoning their favorites.

Spain and Ema nc cipation i'm Cuba.


The cable two days since brought the an
nouncement that at the session of the Cortes
which opens in November the Spanish gov
ernment will submit measure declaring
emancipation of the slaves in Cuba to take
effect next year, but making them pay for
their liberty by long term of enforced
labor. This does not promise very much;
but Spain wants to do the business cheaply,
and puts its wise deed, in Spanish fashion,
on the long finger. It would be premature
to discuss measure thus barely fore
shadowed, but if Spain desires peace in
Cuba and o return OF the islands pros
arrangements. Her credit may not be very
high in the money markets of the world,
but if she wants to compensate the slave
owners Of Cuba we do not doubt that she
could raise loan which would not be q
very heavy burden and pay them offhand,

will cost as much as emancipation outright,

pose why not for the other? Tinkering and
dilly-dallying will be of no avail The
money just now would DO of incalculable
advantage to Cuba, but it will merely fatten
q few corrupt officials and greedy con-
tractors if it is spent in war. The cry of
the slave owners which comes by cable to-
day, to the effect that unless emancipation
is decreed in some shape their plantations
will be burned, is proof that the matter
will not wait long for decisive settlement.

of the Fair is the display Of pen art by
W. Lynn White, of the National
Business College Of this city. The real
artistic merit and exquisite delicacy Of
this work in all the departments of pen
art must be seen to be appreciated. His
blackboard writing exhibited in the slate
department of Mr.. Parshall attracts
much attention. This blackboard writ
ing was executed entirely with the free
or whole arm movement without second
trial in any line or dot, and is marvel
of skill Mr. Whites reputation as a
skillful artist-penman and as an in
structor in the various branches Of the
art, has become a national one. He has

that they have never seen his work ex-
celled. This collection OF testimonials
