Following tho example of such statesmen as
"Tim" Ca,npl>(.ii and Ahb-unan Kirk, Con
Kroman perry Belmont appears to havo boen
getting up a testimonial to himself in the
?haye of a public dinner. It was to have
been served to-day, at ibo Argyle Hotel,
Babylon; aml the prominent Democrats of
Queens and St,lt.,lk h,,d Inc. bri&ed. The
young Congressman had even made arrange
nu-nt* to hnve bis speech circulated far and
wide, and began to anticipate its effect in his
"TliTLi .tK\Uuiu;d ^os Senate. But
Uta beat aid plana "of mice and men gang

Si ?"g' ?5 ha8 l*m d0?e> b?t with . ch
m gwea m thwatana to cut short Mr. Bel
mout's iKiblical career.
Tbe only weak point in the neat little ar
rangement reported to by the Shipping Com
mmumvT of thia Port, Mr. Duncan, Tot
keeping the profits of his office almost entirely
within tua own family, waa pointed out yei
terday by Judge Wallace. It is the flexible
rule by which the salaries of the three sons aa
deputies are fixed. After deducting the fath?
er's pay and the small incidental expenses of
Uie office, the remainder ia annually divided
... i
by three. This simple aura in arithmetic,
however, cannot be performed until the end
of the year, and possibly the correcting lager
can be put just there. Thc management of
his office by the Commissioner certainly is one
of the coolest exhibition.*, mt colo.--.sfil assurance
on record. But Mr. Duncan has a grip on the
place and au indifference to public opinion
that have served Iiiin perfectly for the last
ten years. Tlu* wornt of it is, apparently, that
this administration of a public trust in a pri?
vate citizen's interest is within the law. All
the same there ought to be some way in
which the abuse can be stopped.
Tho probability that the international rifle
match at Wimbledon, England, must begiTCO up
bet :i!i*eciioi)?;!i rooney is not forthcoming to pay
the MXDi nsi'g of the American tiara is indeed
unfortunate. To bo obliged to back out now
after tlio chalbinge has -ccu foimally accepted
and the preparation! for tho contest on both
sides of thc ocean are so far advanced WOttld
leave our teem in a most unpleasant situation.
This is soniethint. they should not be called to
endure after the trouble and expense, they
have beeu put to thus far. A bilge amount is
not needed. It would lor only lair that some of
the other cities of the country should bear a
part of tho expense ; but if they will not, cer?
tainly there Alt enough public-spirited citizens
in New-York who will subscribe the money re?
quired to carry the American team to a victory
at Wimbledon or an honorable defeat. And it
must bo done quickly.
The efforts of tbe nMUM-gero of the American
Medical Association to keep thc question of
the revision of the medical codc'of ethics from
obtruding its unpleasant head during the
meeting just ended at Cleveland, were natural
enough. A matter of so vital interest to tb*
profession at large, of course could not have
been discussed without excitement and possi?
bly some temper; and excitement and temper,
ns doctors best know, are apt to interfere pain?
fully with the easy digestion and placidity
which are so roomiH-1 to the success of any
picnic. This important topic, therefore (the
only one at present which doctor* all over the
country take any meat inter*.->r ini, tnt DO.
otbci.illy talked abont, although it (Topped out
occasionally. But tbe whole record ol the ii- o
eiation ts as decidedly Mgfahki t liber*! revision
of Ute code, as if a foi nial vote had boen
taken. The climax of its negatifC action
was the selection of Dr. Flint, sr., of thi-.
(i:y, as president, Dr. Flint is au old-code man
ol the strictest type* lVr.-aonaliy the M-'ection
is irreproachable, and the ?oooclotion has
honored it**clf by appointing so distinguilhed I
physician to preside over it.
The ungenerous opposition to conferring
annuities npoB Lord Wolseley and Lord
Alcester (Admiral Seymour) iu appreciation
of their services during the wai in Egjrpd
Wai revived Vistdday in tbe HOMO of
C'oinuions. There may be pood reaoOM lol
preferring to vote these nieu a lump sum.
rather than an annual pension ol' ?2,000
each, for two lives ; but one ot these k tenn?
is not that the origin ot the war in Egypt
was, as Lord Randolph Churchill claims dis?
graceful to England That niij.'lif all be ; and
yet the soldiers and ofliccrs who did their
duty bravely daring the campaign would de?
serve as much praise as if tho eaaee had
been just. Their pail was to flgfat ttOt to a.-ak
irby. Lord Randolph Churchill iii his speech,
of course, was trying to strike Mr. Gladatone
o\er the sim olden of the victorious General
and the Admiral, and lo create a ?.noation.
It ii possible that from a Lind's point ol tiem
this is a creditable way of fighting an oppo?
nent et gaining notoriety | luir it will strike
the avenge republican as particularly cheap
and shabby. _
At last what seems to be authentic neus of
General Crook has been received. He lias not
been massacred by the Indians nor has be
massacred Juli and his band. A dispatch from
Tombstone, Arizona, brought thens I
courier, says tliat tiie General is about thirty
ini.es northwest of Nacoii, on tho we-ltrn side
of the Sierra .tl,ulm Mountain-, and io Quailing
out scouts in all directions. It adds, abo, that
he has found no signs of Indians. Whir
lieaid fiom, on May G, General Crook w.-s af
Baistpe. Apparently, he has not been aldo to
move quickly daring tin* last month. The st -de?
ment that he has found no Indians confirms
tlie belief that the hostiles have separated in
small groups and scattered throughout the
mountains. The Mexican commander is said
to be working up the eastern side ol the Sierra
Madre, hoping to close in the Indians between
his forces and General Crook's. But if Juli
and his followers havo scattered there is
doubt wliethei their pursuers will catch any
of them. If General Crook should extermi?
nate them under such circumstances he would
be entitled to the greatest possible credit as
an Indian lighter. But what he does he
must do quickly, for in two weeks the rainy
gea.-on may set in, mid that will probably t top
his pursuit. ___________________

It will not be an easy matter for thc Dem?
ocrats of Ohio to nut themselves in a sim po to
succeed this year. They know now what they
havo to meet. It is safe to say that none of
them will regard the prospect with inciea ed
cnthnsiusm, because of the work ot the lb-pub?
lican Convention on Wednesday. It han been
notice- for bomo time pait that thc Democratic
and assiitant-Dcmociatic papers were pecul?
iarly anxious to stir up bad feeling of some sort
aimmjj' the Republicans. But the convention
ol Wednesday acted with unusual unanimity.
It declined to quarrel about ju imi pies, and it
positively declined to quarrel ab.mt men. It
refused to thiow away a secure majority in the
United States Senate, and Senatoi Sm-mian was
especially emphatic in refusing the honor of a
nomination for Governor at such I co.->t. Ii hai
not seemed good to thc partv to take other men
Irom positions of political importance. It has
Conni a Candidate ol whom it is said that the
more the people know him the better they a ill
like him, and it has adopted au admirable plat"
form of principles, and all this it hag done with
much less difference of opinion than is usually
_ceii iu political conventions, and with a hearty
unanimity that promise! well for the result in
October.
Tho platform corresponds closely with the
outline previously submitted by Tiik Thiijim;
as one upon which Republicans would readily
unite. It justly claims that the past achieve?
ments of the Republican party give tho best
insurance! ss to its ainu iu the future, and
commends the administrations of .President
Arthur and Governor Foster. As to the Uqooc
question, it unreservedly adopts the principle
of taxation for the purpose of providing against
thc evils arising fiom such a tra flic, and approves
the submission of constitutional amendments.
The.very recent declarations of Senator Sherman
on this question, aud his uuauiiuous oelection
aa president of the Cou rent ion, left no room to
doubt the position of that body, nor is thero any
reaaon to doubt that tho people of Oh io .will
sustain it.
The platform makes the tari-, tho main issue
in the coining contest. As Senator Sherman
said in recent remarks, if the Democrat* wish
to cvado the question it will now be forced
upon them. The platform quotes the Dem?
ocratic leaders who have recently avowed their
intention to reduce the duties to a lower point
during tho next session of Congress, and is not
iiii.jnst in declaring that "a tarifl for revenue
ouly" is a Democratic doctrine. No other
party has ever advocated or voted for a tariff
of thai -ort, and the latest official nttcrances of
(lie Democratic party pledge it to reduce tho
tai id to such a basis if it ever gets the power.
In very distinct terms, the Republicans of Ohio
declare their belief in "a tarifl system which
* will provide a revenue for the Gorcninu-nt,
"and at tho same time will protect. Aniet ka I
"prcdiiceis and American labnr." The wool
tarifl of 1807, it holds, should bo restored at
the earliest possible) opportunity, and in this
pallioular tho platform uidountcdly expresses
tlie. wishes of the Republicans of Ohio, though
it is Dot yet clear what tho cflect of tho recent
change of duties on wool may lie. lu short, the
platform commits the party fully and unre?
servedly to tho policy of Protection for
American industry, and on that point takes is?
sue mest distinctly with the Democratic party.
The result of the election in Ohio this fall
will bo everywhere construed as an indication
of public Opinion OB thc tariff question. There
is no other National issue upon which parties
are as sharply divided as they are upon this,
and neither professions nor pledges can mate?
rially change the position which the Democrats
of Ohio have taken by their acts during the
past twenty yaala. If the people of that State
want to abandon tho protective system, and to
encourage the Democratic party iu overturn?
ing the tarifl under which tlie industries of
Ohio have been marvellously developed, they
vv ill not hesitate to give that parly the prefer?
ence, provided it has the touraco ot its opin?
ions. But it is doubtful whether the Dem?
ocrats will dare to meet witt candor the issue to
which tho Republicans Iiave challenged them.

The main topics of political diacussiot) te the
past four or live mouthe have been tbree ques?
tions relating to tho futon of the Democratic
party, to wit, " Who will bc Speaker ? " u Who
will bathe Presidential ca nd ida te T " and " What

CUaaion has been growing warm, and veiy
plainly was not tending to harmony In tha

rised for changing tha tnpk and turning tba
CUrrenl Of debate than tho veiy thing Which
Mr. Beck seemed to lo by merest accident in
the eourae of an interview Into which be was
drawn with such apparent reluctance. Ob?

Kentucky Democrats ns their Presidential

fidential way that thara is ons Republican whom

Bai ely three, days have elapsed since tho great
mystery was dropped npon the public, and tha
newspapers all over tha oountiy ara fall of it.
Tho fatuous ?* Fifteen " puzzle, which 1, td m-h a
run and sent so many people to in-.um asylum-,
dill not take so sudden or so Strong a hold upon
public curiosity. Il Mr. Beek should die with
his secret in him, the question "Who waa tha
Republican Beek was afraid of/" would laka
its place beside the Man in Hie Iron Mask, thr
authorship of the JuMUS h tiers, etc., dr.,
among the uiiHiilved and insolublo mysteries
of the ages. Conjectures Innumerable have
already been offered, and each day lengthens
tho list. By and by, when the Republican
newspapera begin to warm up with tho canvass
for the Preeidantial nominal ion, we shall no
doubt (iud nearly every one of them pu si ming
at great length incontestable reasons for be?
lieving that its own favorite ia the very man
whom Mi Beck was so afraid af tiiat ha did not
dare mention his linnie. Aud when tho
National Convention meets wo shall probably
have thc same thing over mid over when the
delegates present namea for the nomination, ii
Mr. Beek were nioic a pat riot and less a partisan
he might perhaps lie persuaded to communicate
bia fearful secret to tho Republican National
Committee, and so do away with the necessity
for a National Convention. There is no ques?
tion, of course, thal this invincible Republican
would lie nominated if it could only be found
out for certain who he is. Mr. Beck certainly
has no doubt about it, ilse he would not be so
u afraid."
Thero is very little prospect, however, that
Mr. Beck will norn Bl link Bia his secret to his op?
ponents. It is too evident that, having accom?
plished his mischievous purpose by letting tho
fuct be known that he could, if he would, iiiinie
a suro Republican winner, he moans to lock his
lips and say no more. Republicans hare twelve
mouths in which to ding themselves upon tbe
mystery. Let the guessing begin. The
Tkiiune makes for its lirst gueM ? Trivuto

PRESIDENT OR POLllIClANt
To some persons it seems quite unreasonable
to expect from Cheater A. Arthur, the Presi?
dent, diflerent conduct from that of Mr. Arthur,
the politician. And yet the country cives to
him, and he and his friends expect that the
country will give to him, a very diflerent meas?
ure of consideration and respect It is held
just that he should be ciodired with elevated,
honorable and patriotic motives, because of tho
high sense of responsibility which his station
should faring. Lifted to a position of greater
honor and creator power than any other person
on earth, he ought to be raised above all the
motives, intluences and associations incident to
a period of activity as a party {manager. Tho
countiy assumes that a man who was in any
respect Stied for high station will be thus
raised above his former self; whatever he may
have been ns a private citizen, it assumes that
ho will be something higher nnd better under
the scn.se of vast responsibility. This is the
logical foundation Of tho respect which tho
country pays to its Chief Magistrates. Men
who opposed Ike election of a President feel
that it is a duty to give him respect, considera?
tion and a fair opportunity to show that ho is
worthy of the great trust which the people
have (.iven him.
If this is the duty of honorablo and patriotic
citizens, it is tho correlative duty of tho Presi?
dent to lie worthy of his great responsibility.
Whether individuals forgot their duty or not,
he cannot afford to forget a station which lifts
bim above them in honor and therefore should
lift him above them in motives and acts. To
him it is disgrace to fall back to tho level of
the mere politician. The people expect better
things, and they have a tight to expect bettor
things, from the General who has been in?
trusted with the fate ot an anny than from the
private soldier who has yet to win honer and
trust.
Preeidont Arthur has done eOUM things thal
show a deal oonoo <>f hi-* high [oopontibility.
Tho country has -.ecu theee tblngi with great
eatiafaction. In other actions it haa been dla*
appointed in him, and has felt that he fell short
of the rcqoiremonto of bio Ugh itatiou ; but it
has been gratifying to n-e that ho seems, with
(t;.i rieaee and the lapse of time, to grow more
and more able to appreciate tho exalted trust
to which he ha-b-.-ii called, and to rue above
the motive-, and methods which Motto politicians
continually prate apon hun, Hence biocouree
it observed with increasing Intered and hope?
fulness by tboOt citizens who eare little for
individual, or betioaa, but ran mud for the
honor and procparity of Um country. They
deem it thi ir duly to extend confidence to him
i- toot -Od as far M he may uliow Unit ho
is worthy ol it. Many of them tiitici--d his
conduct Ktion^ly iu tho political oonteatt of tho
uho would yet be rejoiced to lind in tho
Preeident greater worth .ind a highereouoep*
tion ot publk dutiocand Interecti than his
course aa a politician had led them to expect.
lt lim. i. nt wera to any reasonable and patriotic
citizen that I'te.-ideiit Arthur OUghl to be irre?
vocably condcmnc'l because- when iii .t thrown
into a position of unexpected responsibility, !,?*?
w.is not able for ;i time to meet ita extraordi?
nary difficulties in every respect
Half of the President's tei sn of office hhs now
expired, however, .Public opinion will proa
ently cease to expect min li ehaage in him.
Within a shod time it will be fell that the gen?
eral record of his administration is not likely
to be m.aerially diflerent from its record in tho
past, if the i'ie.-aitien t coneldera tba elections
of la-at fall, ho realizes thal BIS OOUrBS BP to
that time hail lint been iii all respects success
fill. Ile has power to make very great ad?
vances in public e itimatioa, and there ure some
indications tbal ho wishes to do bo and aeee the
way. Undoubtedly biopooition in tbo public
eetimation baa boon improved si .ready, since tho
eventaoi laatyeari but he cnn do rerymuch
iimre iii .that direction if he will. The country
wishes to see in him, not tim instrument of any
spoile-hunting Benacoc or other politician, but
a faithful Chief Magistrate, who executes the
laws with Justice and inpartiality, It wishes
to sse, not the ba.b-r of a f,iction, but S Repub?
lican Preeidont. It treats hun wit li considerate
patience, bcO-UOO it feels that it bas a .fight to
expect that he will rise to tim le vol of tbo high
Station that he occupies. Hut events mus' take
place aud decisions ba Blade before long which,
in spite of any later ellorts, will go far to lix the
character ol tho Administration to tbo end. lt
is therefore the earnest tb sire of all good citi
Ziii-., and especially of all sincere Kopuhlic m..
thiit the Proeidi nt may prove fully equal to bis
ii.sibility.

Dolan did not care to dio comfortably. Ile
ran ;iwiy fnmi the hospital the day after his
arrival there, and took up his .residence in the
iUioile Island town ol' Woonsocket. Ilo at
once began to show uncommon energy for a
"dyingman*" No less than twelve burglaries
and highway assaults occurred in the town
within two months after his appearance there,

oue for burglary and laiceny. Allot which
ahown what a revivifying effect a Butler pardon
may have upon a "dying man " who has also
beena -co-operator with the Governor." Of
course it was tbe pardon which revived Dolan,
for to take any other view of bia SUboSQdeot
activity would be to admit that the Governor
had been imposed upon, and everybody knows
that tho Governor ls the sharpest man in
America aud is never fooled by anybody. It

the Democratic party. What would be tho
effect of a Butler pardon on that T The Dem?
ocrats have abused the Governor pretty
severely for many years, but if they will co?
operate with him now and give him a Presi?
dential nomination in return for a pardon there
is no telling what liveliness might follow. We
aro smo the country would discount the case
in advance by loosing upon the Democracy
with Butler at its head as a grand burglarious
expedition against tho peace and honor of tuc
Government. But it would bo a great revival
while thc campaign lasted.
Mr. Hendricks asserts that ho didn't suspect that
