period beforehand tho politics of the State

For i that subject is not studied and studied
t earnest purpose before the Juno Conven
tion in Bt Louis a repetition of some of the
grotesque blunders of tho 1880 canvass may
restore the chances and revive the hopes of
the Republicans otherwise loft face to face
with inevitable defeat
The Lesson of Democratic Unity Thrown
Overboard by the Theorists
We havo had an opportunity of perusing
tho Bocalled Plan for the Organization and
Convention of Democratic Clubs which has
been sent forth by committees of the Young
Mens Democratic Clubs of New York Brook
lyn Massachusetts and Milwaukee
These are apparently a clubs with the
doctrine of Free Trade o their fundamental
measure and aim of legislation I
Wo believe says their circular that
distinct Issue and fighting a
only by taking dLtnct Id fghtng a
bold and aggressive campaign upon the great
questions of legislative policy can success
In 1888 b secured We Book to associate
ourselves with a who a of the same opin
ions the Democracy of the
among te yojtng Dmory te
nation not only for cooperation after the
National Convention shall havo ben held
but also for Influence upon the Convention
Itself that tho platform shall b definite and
unmistakable and tho candidates pledged to
Its Immediate enforcement
Tho measures of legislative policy which
the proposed organization I to b applied
are thus described in the circular
a That the general Government bal not tl Its
power of taxation for lh benefit o individual or c
interests
hb That all raw materials shall be freed from Import
duties and a general reduction of the tariff effected
C That the Civil Service Law which have been
enacted hal b maintained and the course ot the
Democratic Administration ot President Cuvxum In
his Interpretation and enforcement ot those laws upheld
4 That while protecting corporations In the legiti
mate exercise of the limited power granted them si
creatures of the State their combination and consolida
tion tending t destroy competition endanger lh
rights of individuals and create the monopolies which
are lh chief factors in the corruption of our Legisla
tures and municipal bodies shall b prohibited by to
gent laws
lnla
lnlaTai the public lands shall b reserved t actual
ltn citizens ot the United Elates for settlement
do the Homestead Laws
1 this theoretical and elaborate platform
thereqpg live propositions Tho frt two
prpsitIons
look tAr free trade tho third and fifth
look nowm and the fourth whichrelates
to Dig tru 9 and corporate consolidations
expresses a vw of tat subject which orig
mated in tho his or1c precincts of Tammany
Hall and eo far °
Ba s f awe are aware ties never
a aw
yet met with Demotio contradiction
The declaration in to avor ot upholding
President CLEVELANDS rpretatlon of the
civil service laws I emptyd worthless for
tho reason that it does not Siciy which In
terpretation I intended YCED
was first in favor of a nonpartlsi gjyjj ear
cv
vice based
on literary examination
be ltr exalnaUol the
exclusion
clusion of politics and permanence of Curo
but during tho last year or two ho h Mno u
back t the Democratic plan of political a
potntments and rotation in office on political
grounds and this plan he has enforced
with much more energy and consistency
than he had before displayed in enforcing
its opposite The young men should say
which of the two plans they Intend to
std by the Chinese or the Democratic
They cannot stand by both of them and
their present utterance signifies nothing
The some i true of their proposal t keep
prp
the public lands for actual settlers Nobody
desires to do anything else with the public
lands and thus that plank of their platform
has no point or pertinency because a the
world agrees with It I IB like sustaining the
multiplication table or the rule of three
The taxation proposal of our young men Is
also a glittering1 generality to which in its
abstract form nobody would object but it
has a purpose underneath to which very de
cided objections will be made and that pu
pose i the promotion of free trade doctrines
and measures Bo of the proposal to mao
raw materials free Thatls another glitter
ing generality which people will assent t
in the abstract but which doesnt seem t
work in practice The unqualified free
tradersof Mr MILLSS committee havo tried
t materialize it but they have failed Their
tariff bi poor and unsatisfactory a ltl
does not establish the freedom of raw ma
terials and I they cant do it how can the
untried talents of these theoretical young
men accomplish the task 7
These young Democrats also speak of secur
ing success in 18 and by that we presume
they mean the election of a Democratic Presi
dent and yet they carefully ignore and leave I
out of view the one evident and conspicuous
means through the u o which such suc
cess could b made certain and that means
is the Unity of the Democracy in earnest
support of a candidate who will arouse en
thusiasm and inspire union and confidence
I Is only three months since we had an
election in this city in which a these con
ditions realized
dtone were riz and success splendid
and cheering was the consequence There
were no abstract theories no Chinese literary
examinations no Mugwump hypocrisies
about that election We had a candidate for
whom every Democrat felt a genuine enthu
siasm We had the noble old banner of
Democracy to light under and to cheer for
and wo wanted nothing else We had
one purpose which was to win a
battle for the Democracy We did not
begin separating the free traders from the
protectionists or tho silver men from the
gold bugs or tho CLEVELAND men from the
antlCLCTELAND men All were called out
to battle united organized animated
and disciplined in the name of Democracy
alone When tat compact solid phalanx was
launched against the fo the spectacle was
superb and the victory magnificent And
but for that victory tho theoretical states
men who talk s loftily today would now
have been of no more importance than a
snow wreath o the lamp post
Is it not possible t take t heart the l
son of that notable experience Mr CLEVE
LAND began by rejecting it i his message
substituting for Democratic unity the ap
parent purpose of Democratic division np

What ground there for such expectations f
Let us assume Ort tat the now sov

Under such circumstances the optimistic

to President OAJWOT
friendly despatch t OOT
thanking the French people through their
chief magistrate for the sympathy expressed
for Um throughout his sufferings and which
we may ad W sharply contrasted with
their severe comments on the proceedings
of his son Prince
and presumed aspirations hi sn Pc
WILLIAM I also appears from an announce
ment In the Czars official organ the Journal
tie Ht Ptterebouro that without walling
to consult with the statesman who is
still ostensibly his Chancellor the new
ruler hastened t affirm by telegraph
his desire to
t the Russian autocrat hi deir t
maintain unbroken the close ties of
amity which during the greater part of
lila fathers life had bound the Prussian mon
archy to tha Northern Empire I the utter
ance of such feelings at such a time wo are
Justified In recognizing something more than
conventional civility It Is as if the Emperor
declared bluntly t France and Russia
Worry yourselves no longer about the projects
jet of Prince EISUABOK I Henceforth I
mO to govern Germany and it i only my
Intonton cmed about which you need b con
There I another motive not the less
strong because scarcely avowablo which is
likely to influence I favor of peace the
minds of the now Emperor and of h Eng
lish consort Just eo long a war can b
averted the painful question of the present
monarchs incapacity can b deferred It is
most Improbable that any open objection
will b made to his taking the oath to ob
serve the Prussian Constitution by a writ
ten affirmation or a gesture of assent
Neither i there much reason to doubt
that provided Emperor FBEDEIUCK retains
tains h present strength for eight
months to come he could manage t trans
with his Ministers
act ordinary business h rr
since after listening t their oral communi
cations he could signify his decision in
writing It i true that governing under
wtng te tt geri
such conditions he would tend t yield more
and more completely to the wishes of the
Empress who would b h inseparable com
panion But that to her eyes would scarcely
be a disability The moment however that
w broke out the inadmisslblllty of a
speechless and virtually bedridden king
would b patent to a Prussians and the
popular clamor for the appointment of a
regency would b irresistible
Now suppose that instead of exercising
functions of until the
the active functons kingship ut te
next whiter Emperor FREDERICK should b
fred at a date much earlier by the prog
rose of h malady or by the pressure of
events to agree t a regency However re

It took a column ot space and a picture
yesterday morning for tho World t explain
how i pulled the Pennsylvania Railroad out ol
the snow by lotting General Manager THOMP
SON In Philadelphia send word to Superintend
ent CnAWrom in Jersey City over the Worlf
loncdlstanco telephone At the same time
the World failed entirely to get the important
flows that the Pennsylvania Railroad had
opened communication with the outside world
by running trains r Newark being the first
trains to run out of the city I likewise didnt
have the news that the Fourth avenue horse
cars had begun t run being the first started in
the city or tho news that Mr AUSTIN OonniM
had arrived In Lone Island City bringing in
the first train that had run either way o Long
Island or the news that the roofs had been
blown from five houses and nine families
turned out in the cold in Brooklyn or the
new that JOHN L SULLIVAN had challenged
the world again that Speaker CABLULB nod
arrived In Washington and was recovered from
his Illness and ready for a long tariff fight or
an of a dozen other interesting and Important
pieces of news tat were published in Tue SUN
Most 01 that column of longdlstanc tele
phone space was taken up with telling o the
times when that means of railroad communi

of all the Worlds blizzard new Its column
nowadays are devoted chiefly t tolling how its
reporters dldnt cot there
And by the way what choap stuff I is that
the World prints about its loncdlstanco tele
phone an instrument which was first used for
tho procuring of news months ago in Tan SUM
office and which has since been put into nearly
every newspaper office In the city I the
World would cot some news over its telephone
from points that cannot be reached in any
other way and print It the feat might b
worth talking about

WOT1 March ltvThe prompt
agreement of the House Military Committee t
favor Mr Lairds resolution upon the Oron
dynamite shell is a triumph for that appliance t
This J a project designed for usIng the high
explosives as the bursting chare of shells pro
jected from ordinary cannon with ordinary
gunpowder The resolution authorizes th vs
of certain Government property or near For
Monroe and Hamptoa Roads for further experi
ments with It Tho sum of tlO000 f appropri
ated and the experiments a t bo conducted
under the direction of an officer of the army to
be designated by Secretary Endloott and an
officer of the navy slffnat d br Sot
Whitney The trials are to b made within
three months from the pasaac of the lot resolution
Ther is now a w lldevelop d antagonism
between the advocates of the pneumatic irs
tarn of using dynamite and those who ore trying
t employ i In ordinary guns with the senile
charge of powder If this latter plan U r
cam pwder I ts lar Ila pos
sible to an unlimited extant there I no neces 1
sity for the former which not only requires
novel weapons and a apparatus fa com
pressing air but cannot attain the range of
powder anna The advocates a the a torpedo
run Insist that only tw or three pounds ot
dyamite have ever beon thrown from an or
fm
Olnary cannon with Its service charge while a
hundred pounds have been thrown In a pnsu
matlotube t11 pu
The bitterness of this antagonism ha latajy l
been 1KKravated by the tact that Ilent J tlJ
Graydon jr who was formerly tat navy DM
fed formal changes at the War ne ment
against Capt Xalinskl for conduq unbecoming
an officer and a gentlemen founded on words
spoken In debate This though wors
sPhn > uuuauov > ki iui be
in entitled to do and tbt charges In oiiesUon
have been referred by Secretary Kndlcott to
On BneX Chief of Ordnance for a report
upon the facts connected with them The
statements t which exception Is taken by Mr
Graydon are alleged t bars been contained 10
a lecture delivered by Capt ZallnskL I is de
sired by the Beoretary to know whether it was
asserted tn this lecture that Qraydons dyna
mite shells frequently exploded prematurely
and that three runs had been burst while ex
pprimontlne with them and also whether such
statemtDt I made are bro out by the re
ports of the Ordnance Department otucsrs on
their exporimenttt with the Graydon shell
It will be Bton therefore that there Is war to
the knife between the two methods of using
dynamite Capt Zallnskl holds that the ex
periments conducted at Bandy Hook in the
early part of the present winter by Ordnance
Corps officers do not bar out the extreme
claims mode for the Qraydon shell He con
siders that the pamphlet published In the cn
terest of the latter has exclude whatever In
the report of the Board was unfavorable to the
uraydon Inventions and put In only what Is
favorable In his lecture in Washington he In
sisted on this alleged con WIbnjtoD
taots and also polntod out that the shells used
weighed 122 pounds while only 2i pounds
WON dynamite lie has also said that even at
that tho dynamite contained only CO per cent
of nltroKiycerine whereas No 1 dynamite
contains 75 percent and It is understood that
this latter I the sort used military pur
poses when dynamite Is spoken or Then the
results ho Insists were only such as could be
produced with blank shells of that weight hay
inc no bursting charge at alL wlt
His opponents retort that Cant Zallntkl
talks about 000pound charges of dynamite
when he has only fired 100 pounds and that he
speaks of a range of several miles when ho has
at most attained IX miles while the Uraydon
shell has attained about fur miles
mlea
In reality the two systems both promise U
fut results In their respective spheres but tor
the moment each seems anxious to knock out
the other and occupy the anxous leld Mean
while the passage of the Graydon resolution
AR
by Congress Is t b hoped for since this coon
try has now the lead In both methods of using
dynamite shells and should keep it by assiduous
siduous experiments t ascertain both the absolute
eXPrment aorn te
solute and the relative worth ol ea

ask the question In good faith of course A a matter of
curious interest and In entire respect to the colored
