The Political Contest In This City, A complete survey of the political situa- tion in this city is not possible until the re- publican party shall have presented its ticket. The democrats have made so fit and excellent a nomination for Mayor that we do not see how they can be beaten in a city in which they outnumber their opponents in the proportion of two or three to one. If their whole ticket were as unexceptionable | as the strong name at the head of it there could be no real contest at all, and the re- | publican nominations would be a mere form, ag empty as a repast where the table was supplied with a full array of dishes but no viands. But, unfortunately, there are some objectionable names on the democratic ticket, and its opponents will make an in- dustrious use of these to discredit the whole ticket. This might be ao successful manwuvre if the two parties were more evenly balanced, but it will amount to little against so heavy a democratic pre- ponderance, Independent democrats will probably scratch one or two unfit names and vote the residue of the ticket ; but we have no doubt of the election of the greater part of it. The Hxratp has taken a lively interest in the nominations for Mayor and for Surro- gate, regarding the others as of less impor- tance. We are bound to exercise discrim- ination enough not to mistake shadow for substance. There is one class of officers who are merely ministerial, like the Sheriff and County Clerk. These officers are ser- vants of other departments of the city gov- ernment, compelled to do what they are bidden. It makes little difference to the public who is elected Sheriff or County Clerk. These officers have no discretion. Their duties are clearly and minutely pre- scribed by law, and run in precisely the same routine whoever may fill the office. When the Sheriff makes an arrest it is in pursuance of a warrant by some judge or court, which he cannot disobey; when he levies on property it is in pursuance of the judgment of a court; when he executes a murderer or delivers a criminal to the State Prison it is in pursuance of a judicial sentence. He cannot take a step without direction from his superiors or some specific mandate of the law. If he exceeds or falls short of his duty the Governor of the State can promptly re- move him. The County Clerk is also a strictly ministerial officer—a mere servant of the courts and the law—without any per- sonal discretion. Ordinary intelligence and average honesty suffice in such officers, be- cause the incumbents have no other duty than that of obedience. They have as little freedom of action or will of their own as the subordinates in the great municipal depart- ments. For this reason we do not much concern ourselves about candidates for this class of offices. They have little power to affect. the general welfare of the city, being the instruments of other wills than their own. But we take an active interest in the nomi- nation of city officers, whose duties are not merely ministerial. Among these that of the Mayor towors above all the others in authority, influence and importance. The Mayor is the foun- tain of official life and the responsible head of the city government, He appoints the chief officers of the municipal departments, superintends them, holds them to their ac- countability, and removes them with the consent of the Governor. If he bean able man of resolute character he can order al- most everything in accordance with his wishes. If new legislation is needed for the city government a respected and really able Mayor has more influence at Albany than anybody else. The Henap, appreciating the transcendent importance of this officer, and recognizing the probability that a party so strong as the democratic party of this city would elect its candidate, un- dertook to prevent an objectionable nomination, and has reason to be satisfied with its success. It broke the prearranged ‘‘slate,” forced the with- drawal of the slated candidate, and secured the nomination of a citizen who, all things considered, is the wisest and strongest se- lection the dominant party could have made. Mr. Ely is so unassailable in point of char- acter, ability, experience and party standing that no republican or coalition competitor has any chanco to be elected against him. He is certain to be our next Mayor, and he will enter upon his duties with as large a measure of public confidence as has ever been given to an incumbent of that office at the time of his inauguration. Afterward he will be judged by his acts and not by his previous record. The other nomination in which we have taken a deep interest is that for Surrogate, an office in relation to which party consider- atiéns should not have the weight of o feather. We donot believe that any judicial officer should be a football of party politics, and least of all that of Surrogate. Whether the Hxraup supports or opposes Mr. Calvin depends on the character of the man nominated as his competitor. What we said a day or two previous to Mr. Calvin's nomination was an ex- pression of our deliberate judgment:—“If the republicans should nominate a fitter can- didate for Surrogate than the democrats all democrats ought to support him, and vice versa. There can be no excuse for making such an office political.” If John E. Burrill should be nominated in opposition to Mr. Calvin we shall advise all citizens to vote for him. We kept Mr. Burrill constantly at the head of our list of desirable candidates, not from any feeling of hostility to Mr. Cal- vin, but becanse he best suited our ideal of what is required in that office. No demo- crat should hesitate to scratch the name of Mr. Calvin or paste that of Mr, Burrill over it, if the latter should be nominated by the opposition. Every democrat who regarded Mr. Burrill os his first choice, and Mr. Cal- vin as his second or third choice previous to the nomination, ought to support his first choice if Mr. Burrill is brought forward by the other side. Varties should be a rope of sand in voting for judicial officers, except when both candidates happen to be equally good. Mr. Calvin has been fiercely assailed since his nomination, and we think it an act of justice to insert the vindication by one of his friends which we print in another column. We will not at present pronounce on the sufficiency of this defence, There is, j perhaps, more to be said on both sides. If the accusation shall encourage the republi- cans to nominate a better condidate some good wiil have been done, Although we shall feel bound, in that case, to support Mr. Calvin's opponent, we will not passively see any injustice done to his character. He | may be an upright, worthy man, and yet not be the fittest person in the city for Surro- gate. We need not revile him even if we | should feel constrained to support another. | Shortly before Mr. Calvin’s nomination we | took pains to inquire of lawyers, whose standing and opportunities make them com- petent judges, respecting Mr. Calvin's merits asa Surrogate. We found only in- dorsements and no dissent. He is now accused of improper conduct as a referee before his appointment to his pres- ent office, If it be true that he was corrupt or stupid in that capacity a faultless discharge of his duties as Surrogate cannot obliterate the record, and he should not be elected. So far as the facts have yet been developed it does not appear that Mr. Calvin violated his duty in the Starin case, although there can be no question that the claim wasa great swindle. The Board of Excise employed a lawyer to prosecute liquor dealers without making any stipula- tion as to his compensation. He continued to avt in that capacity for a long course of years, bringing many thousand suits by the direction of the Board of Excise. When, at last, he presents his bill it is for an ex- orbitant amount, which he cannot get aud- ited or paid. He assigns his claim to Starin, who sues the city. Mr. Calvin was appointed referee and decided against the city, in favor of the claimant. This looks bad on its face ; but a referee must decide | according to law. As a point of law Mr. | Calvin held that when no _ bargain is made with a lawyer at the time of retaining him he can collect his feeson the scale allowed by the statutes. If that be sound law Mr. Calvin was obliged to make the award he did in the Starin case. Whether his view of the law was correct or not is a question still pending, for an ap- peal was taken from his decision and the case has not yet been finally adjudicated. If his decision should be affirmed his judgment asa lawyer would be vindicated; but if it should be reversed, it would merely show that he and the authorities he cited to sus- tain his decision were mistaken on a point of law. Its reversal would no more prove Mr. Calvin corrupt than it would prove that the four or five judges whom he cited as author- ities and from whom he took his law were also corrupt. We shall attempt to shield him from any real injustice, but if a better candidate is nominated against him we shall advise citizens to give party to the winds in voting for so important a judicial officer as the Surrogate. The price of the Hrnaup to-day and hence- forth will be eh cents. The Herald and the People. Hereafter copies of the Hznaup will be sold by the train agents of the Union News Company at the out of town depots and on all the trains of the principal railroads at the reduced price of four cents, instead of five cents as formerly. The railroad lines on which this reduction will be enforced are the following:— The Erie. The Northern New Jersey. The New York and Harlem, The Hudson River. The New York Central. The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western. The Flushing, North Shore and Central of Long Island. The Southern of Long Island, The Long Island road. The Renselaer and Saratoga. The Albany and Susquehanna. Besides this, the Hzratp will be sold here- after at all ferries connected with these lines, and all depots in this city, at three cents a copy, and we shall be obliged, if any over- charge is made, to have the fact reported to us, when proper measures will be promptly taken for the protection of the public. Tho managers of the Union News Com- pany have shown an enterprising spirit, which will be appreciated. In contrast to their action we would call the attention of Colonel Thomas A. Scott, President of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, to the course of the news agents on ‘his trunk lines. They have intimated that they will not sell the Hrraup at reduced , prices, and thus assume to dictate to the press and blockade the public, The people will have the Hxnarp; but is it right that any combination should compel them to pay more for it than its proprietor chooses to ask? News agents who would force the public to pay high prices will find themselves in the position of Mr. Stephenson's celebrated cow. That famous railroad pioneer was asked what would be the result if a cow should happen to get be- fore a railroad engine, and he replied, ‘It would be bad for the coo.” The moral does not need explanation. The price of the Heanaup to-day and hence- Forth will be three cents. Tae New York Puuerra,—The sermons yesterday were upon various subjects, and those which are ,elsewhere reported are especially important. It is our desire to picture the religions world as it is, doing jus- tice to all creeds and faithfully recording the progress of modern theology. No city in the world can better represent the variety in belief than New York, and all of the principal sects have here distinguished apostles. To study mankind thoroughly it is requisite to study its faith, and where is the opportunity greater than it is here? Dr. Goodspeed, of Chicago; Rev. Father Kane, of St. Patrick's Onthedral; Rev. Father Colton, of St. Stephen’s, Mr. Beecher and Mr. Frothingham illustrated the anti- podal points of oj of opinion. “The price of the the Hxranp to-day and hence- forth will be three cents. Mr. Turren Yesterpay substituted for o sermon at Dr. Talmage’s Brooklyn temple | his own famous poem, entitled ‘The Immor- tality of the Soul,” extracts from which we publish. The whole of the poem ho did not read, because, no matter what is thought of eternity, timo is always considered of value bv tha avarace church mambhar, Neat, but Not Gaudy. At Aiken, in South Carolina, on Friday, there was a democratic parade and meeting. At the close of the meeting the United States Marshal arrested Colonel Butler, who had headed the parade, and several others. This is a neat way of making arrests. It does not show, however, that the federal marshal had the fear of ‘‘unlawful combina- tions” before him. He seems to have acted entirely without fear that any one would re- sist his mandates. What offence the ar- rested persons are charged with the tele- graph does not inform us; but as it was a federal officer who took them prisoners they must be charged with some crime against the United States. We remark that here in the North a police officer does not usually select a political meeting as the place to make arrests of persons who evidently are not flying from justice. Such a course would be thought indecent, and if the persons ar- rested were prominent citizens, not avoid- ing the law officers and easily taken in a more quiet manner, to seize them in political meeting would create here a good deal of indignation as being needlessly ir- ritating and offensive. Such acts as this in the South remind us of the remark of a vehement but honest re- publican, on his return from a visit to New Orleans after the dispersion of the Louisiana Legislature. Hoe had gone South with some beliefs, which were changed by seeing how matters really stood there. ‘The first thing we of the North ought to remember when we think of the Southern whites,” said he, ‘18 that they also are human beings.” Suppose a policeman or sheriff's officer had arrested Blaine as he stepped down from the plat- form at Cooper Institute the other even- ing? What a howl of indignation we should have heard, and what complaints of the indecency and the desire needlessly to irritate an audience involved in such an act. The indignation and complaints would have been just, too. But why should fed- eral marshals make themselves needlessly offensive in South Carolina just now? There is already excitement enough there. Ali good citizens, no matter with what authority they are clothed, ought to take pains to allay excitement. What is needed there is to calm and not to exasperate men’s tempers. Weare glad to hear so far of no resistance to the process of law by the whites; and we trust they will submit quietly and cheer- fully to whatever is done, and stand ready at all times to protect their political oppo- nents, The price of the Henaup to-day and hence- Tore Be Ce ae The Disciplined Cadets. The public will not be very likely to sym- pathize with the authorities of the Naval Academy in the action they have taken against the cadets who refused to betray their classmates guilty of the crime of “hazing.” The morality of the proceeding is, to say the least, very doubtful, for by it the innocent are punished for the guilty. It is not claimed or pretended that the pun- ished cadets had any direct connection with the objectionable conduct of their comrades. They are punished because they refuse to play the réle of tell-tale, which all right- minded boys despise. The result is far from conducive to the good discipline of the Academy ; for the sympathy of the students, and, we hope, the majority of the professors, | is with the youngsters who have sacrificed themselves rather than betray their class- mates. If the authorities at Annapolis want to put down hazing they should take such precautions as would enable them to do 80 without tampering with the sense of honor and manliness which forbids the students to play the part of spy or informer on their comrades. The directors of the Academy should rather seek to encourage than to up- root this manly feeling. It ought to be easy enough to find out the really guilty parties by the direct evidence of the parties hazed without drawing into the question class- mates whose knowledge of tho acts of their comrades, according to allstudent morality, is confidential and privileged. Even though this may be a fiction when examined through the strict and unsympathetic eyes of the law, it is nevertheless a wholesome fiction for boyhood. These students will become selfish soon enough, and should be encouraged to retain the disinterestedness of youth as long as possible. We hope the authorities, having vindicated discipline by dismissing the stubborn cadets, will hasten to recommend their restoration to their classes. They are evidently plucky and loyal boys, and we cannot afford to throw away good material for slight faults that are accompanied by vedecming qualities. The price of the Henap ‘to-day and hence- Forth will be three cents. Automatic Civilization. Every day the world gets itself more and more thoroughly organized. Toward per- fection in that respect the course of inven- tion takes its way. This tendency of the time is well shown in the application of the Some professionals recently, to use the lan- guage peculiar to their art, ‘cracked a erib,” and by the very operation of their jimmies and wrenches called the police, for as they opened a door they gave a signal at a neighboring station as effectively as a guest at a hotel calls a waiter ; in fact, more effec- tively. Then the police came and captured the marauders in unconscious ignorance of the fact that they had informed on them- selves. ‘This contrivance,- which may yet render detectives supertluous, starve out the receivers of stolen goods and lead to calami- ties in the lock trade, is but one fea- ture in the modern physical organization of cities. Another ingenious apparatus carries its little thermometer into the great warehouses, and the thermometer watches and waits patiently all night every night in the year, and if a fire occurs the thermometer rises, rings a bell, calls the firemen, and the property is saved. In fact, a city becomes a living creature and the men and women in it only atoms of a grent ag- gregated organism. As when a human stom- ach becomes painfully empty « man’s legs varry him to the nearest restaurant, so the telegraphic threads drawn under the streets and through the houses and over the steeplos, like an intricate nervous system, connect part with part and associate every ivritatian with an imnniae anffinient to aver. | come Papin evil with a remedy. There is no knowing to what wonders we may reach in this process of the exclusion of in- termediate agencies, but there is every ap- | pearance that we may one of these days have merely to turn a crank and start into auto- Datie activity the operations of such a mu- nicipal universe as this metropolis, just as Aladdin started his airy steed in the story. The price of the Henarp to-day and hence- Sorth will be three cents. A New Moral to An Old Story. @X° newspaper exists because of its own will but always because of the necessities of the public. Ifthe people do not need it then it had better not be published, but when the people want a newspaper they are bound to have it We have no wish to boast of the Hxnaxp's popularity, but it is proper to ‘say that there was never any one who complained that the cost of a copy was four cents. The four cent price, which was created by the war, was accepted cheerfully by the public. Therefore the Hrnaxp had no reasons other than those it has given for reducing the price of a copy to three cents. It might have continued to demand high prices, and have obtained them; but it is not published merely as a machine, but with a motive, and as the reduction of the old rates was foreseen the present change of price only anticipated:the inevitable re- sult. As the leading paper of the country the Henatp believed it had the power, the right and the duty to begin this reform, and un- solicited it did so. Yet there are short- sighted persons who object to that which seems to be of temporary injury to their interests. Some of the newsdealers and agents who do not now make as.much money by selling the Hznaxp at three cents as they did at four held a consultation last night on the matter. Some of them were inclined not to sell it at all unless the old profits were restored. It is in their own option to retire from business, but we would not presume to advise in such a delicate affair. If the public desires to have the Henaxp it will get it, and we do not think that the cheapness of this journal will inter- fere with its popularity. The gentlemen who wish to stop the Hzraup remind us of that gentleman who met the original owner of the Phil- adelphia Ledger in the street and said:— “Sir, I have stopped the Ledger.” “You shock me,” Mr. Swain exclaimed. ‘Stopped the Ledger! Come to the office and this mat- ter shall be settled.” They went to the of- fice and saw the reporters writing, the compositors working, the presses all running, and then the proprietor turned to his friend and said, “I thought you had stopped the paper.” “I meant that I had stopped my copy,” said the offended individual. “My dear sir,” Mr. Swain replied, ‘‘is that all?” The rest of his answer was expressed in Anglo-Saxon language which we do not at present remember. The price of the Henaup to-day and hence- forth will be three cents. 3 The Indian Problem. The lately announc@d result of the enumeration of the Indians at Standing Rock ought to convince the public and the authorities that the true way of dealing with the Indian problem is to hand over to the army the complete con- trol of the Indian agencies. The Henatp has time and again urged the necessity of this measure, and the first experiment at Standing Rock shows clearly how sound were the arguments put forth in support of that view. It is not necessary to assume that all Indian agents are, or have been, dis- honest because we find much less than the estimated number of Indians at a particular place now when we have concluded to count them. Under the old system the agent took the word of the Indian chiefs, or rather the word of the interpreter, generally speakinga most unreliable person. Then the Indians cared very little for the agent, except in so far as he was the dispenser of gifts. They never thought of obeying him except they were bribed to do so, and he was powerless to make them obey him. Once the Indians are placed in charge of the military the conditions will be wholly changed; the warriors will be brought face to face with men who have the will and the power to carry out the orders of the government. The issue of rations will be conducted on the same prin- ciple as adopted in the army, with a com- plete system of checks. It will be found a great saving to the government and a great advantage to the Indians, and will soon put an end to the chronic stato of war which has existed for years along the border. These disorders have been wholly due to the cor- ruption of the system we pursued in deal- ing with the red man. Once the provo- cations due to a policy of mingled weakness and cruelty are removed there is no reason why we cannot get along with the Indian, and even gradually induce him to adopt our system of life. Along the Missouri Rivera number of the various tribes are engaged in farming and woodchopping, and no doubt, under proper encouragement, they could, in time, be made wholly self-supporting. Up to the present no honest, sustained effort to | induce them to adopt an industrions mode of life has been mado, except in a few isolated cases, and these have beer crowned with fair success, The price of the Hunatp to-day and hence- forth will be three cents.

The Voice of the Missionary. There is friend of the heathen who rises to explain that it is not ‘Turkey, but Russia, | that the world should dread; that Turkey ! is tolerant, civilized, amiable, polite. and Bussia coarse, fierce, savage and terrible t a man with tracts and subscription books There are always plenty of people who se« any case thatcomes up in ® way precisely different from that in which it is seen by human creatures generally. There is a maz somewhere who believes that this earth is as to its form, as flat as a copper coin, and who roundly abuses everybody who believes otherwise. ‘There are plenty of people wha scout the astronomical explanations of the appearance of the heayens, who not only doubt that the stars are fire, but hold tha the firmament is only a grester colander and that the general illumination outside seen through the holes is the real. cause of the appearance of the bright points called stars. Perhaps the missionary is of that perverse race. He gives, however, a definite reason why he wishes to keep the Turka where they are rather than have the Rus- sians there, and his reason has relation to the occupation of a missionary. With the Turks in that country it is a fine, rich field for missionary effort ; but with the Russians there it will be quite ruined in that respect. It is to be hoped Europe will consider the interests of the missionaries in this case be- fore permitting Russia to exclude the Turks, The price of the Henaxp to-day and hence forth will be three cents. The Weather. The hurrigane having passed northe eastward over the Atlantic New York is now outside the area of its in fluence; but that of the Western storm ia steadily extending so as to embrace the entire North Atlantic coast. The latter dis- turbance is now central over the lake region and exhibits a tendency to move nearly du¢ eastward to the northern part of the Alle. ghany range, thus bringing the Middle States within the track of the lowest pressure, Ag it is, the rain area that accompanies the storm is of extraordinary extent and covers the entire territory of the United States east of the ninety-fifth meridian, except a small portion comprising the Eastern Gulf and South Atlantic States. Over this area the heaviest rainfall recorded during the past twelve hours has been at Vicksburg, Miss., where about one and a half inches have fal. . len. In the western, centgal and northeast ern regions the rain has been such as we have experienced at New York. The tem- peraturé throughout the country yesterday was comparatively high except in the extreme Northwest, where cool weather pre- vails.
