FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1894.
[Entered in the Pos't-Oflice as a Newspaper:
The Battle“ in New York.
Senator Hill will be defeated for
Governor if he should remain in the
field. It is idle to speculate as to the
issue of such a contest. Even if the
present political tide were as strongly
with the Democrats as it is with the
Republicans, there would be more than
danger in hiscandidacy ; with the pop-
ular tide strongly against the Demo-
cratic party, because of severe business
and industrial distress for which tarifl'
tinkering is responsible, the election of
Hill as Governor of New York is not
within the range of possibility.
It is evident that Senator Hill did
not seek the nomination for Governor.
He is a very able, cunning and unscruo
pulous politician, and he practically
owned the convention that nominated
him, but it cut off from Democratic
affiliation scores of thousands of the ‘
most intelligent and independent Dem-
ocratic voters, by refusing any repre—
sentation to the Democrats of New
York and Brooklyn, who sent contest-
ing delegations to the convention, and
the large body of Hill’s enthusiastic
followers obviously lost sight of the in-
superable obstacles to Bill’s election,
and in an eruption of enthusiasm forced
him upon the ticket against his earnest
and, we doubt not, honest protest.
The enthusiasm exhibited at the con-
vention inspired its members with the
belief that the Democracy of New York
was again united under the lead of its
strongest candidate and that it could be
successful ; but since they have reached
their homes and come in contact with
that people they must have learned the
fearful mistake they committed for the
party and the cruel wrong they inflicted
upon Senator Hill. They forced him
to the front as a conspicuous and defi-
ant target for every independent voter
who does not believe in nationalizing
Tammany politics, and they forced
upon the Democrats of New York the
always dangerous issue of making a
presidential candidate for the next na
tional contest. This” fact alone would
have defeated Senator Hill at this time,
and when his. record during the last
session of the Senate is considered, ex-
hibiting the most- vindictive hostility to
the Democratic national administration
and with a score or more of Democratic
nominationsiin his own state refused
confirmation by him, it is simply mid-
summer madness to present him asa
hopeful candidate for Governor in this
fateful year for the Democracy.
It is now announced that Judge Gay-
nor will decline the State Judicial
nomination tendered him by the con-
vention, and if Senator Hill is as saga-
cious as his friends give him credit for,
he will give an early declination also,
and look for some eminently able and
thoroughly acceptable candidate to
lead the party in the coming battle.
With Hill as the candidate for Gover-
nor in New York, it means inevitable
defeat for the party and the political
destruction of Hill himself. .
. Such is the editorial opinion of so
sagacious a Democrat as Colonel Mc-
Clure of the Philadelphia Times.
Retirement of David P. Rhoades.
David P. Rhoades, for many years
the president of the New York News
company, retired from actve business
Saturday. He was an associate of
Horace Greeley in founding the Tri-
bune and was one of the original stock-
holders.
He had also been connected with Mr.
Greeley in the publication of the New
Yorker and the Logr Cabin. When the
Tribune was started Mr. Rhoades took
charge of the work of deliveringand
selling the paper, and he personally
sold some of the first copies in the
street. l-le continued in the manage-
ment of the delivery department of the
newspaper for 26 years and then re-
tired to start the news company, which
he continued to control until it was
consolidtaed with the American News
company. Mr. bhoades is still hale
and hearty. He lives at Stratford.
Conn—New York Tribune.
Mr. Rhoades was a delegate yester-
day from Stratiord, to the Congres-
sional convention and voted for Mr.
Hill, JLISli the same as his old colaborer,
Horace Greeley would have done, had
he been alive and a delegate.

A Two-Minute Mile in Sight.
The mile paced in 159%; by Flying Jib
at Chillicothe, in harness, with a run-
ning mate, while counting as nothing
more than an unofficially timed exer-
dence that a pacing record of two
minutes or better‘is a possibility of the
immediate future.
The magic line of twdminntes for a
mile by a horse in harness has been
crossed on a kite-shaped track, by a
paces whirled along by the help ofa
running horse at his side. Never mind.
Flying Jib, the performer in question,
is merely an irregular skirmisher for a
line advancing in his rear. He has
pushed forward in light order, just as
Westmont In 1884, harnessed with a
running mate like Flying Jib, ’jumped
ten seconds beyond the mark .then ex-
isting, and led the pacers and trotters
going in the orthodox manner to strug-
gle after him. In 1894,. the-tenth year
after Westmont, finds that the pacer,
in Robert J ., has dropped a quarter of
a second below Westmont’s record,
and the trotter Alix only two seconds
So it will be with Flying J ib’s laurels.
Some day a successor, going singly,
will also pace in 1.593;, and latter a
trotter will do the same.
Flying Jib, although 'known‘to pos-
sess a terrific flight of speed, has fre-
quently been distanced in his race,
attributable to his erratic disposition
and not to any want of courage or lack
of speed. Trained as much to stay as
to go fast, his coming out with no pre-
vious preparation for such an efi'ort and
pacing in better than two minutes is
presumptive that with a careful and
special preparation for one fast mile
Flying Jib and the pacer Westmont,
whose champion record of 2.01%, with
running mate, was made in 1884, are
both from the same branch of the Ham-.
bletonian family, the latter being by
Almont, and Flying Jib by Algona, a
son of Almont.
Religious Liberality.
The New Yew Sun calls editorial at-
tention to some of the remarkable
things that occurred at the Unitarian
Convention at Saratoga last week.
When the Unitarians needed a meeting
place one day, a Presbyterian church
was put at their service.
There was another thing yet more
remarkable. On Thursday the Uni-
tarian Convention opened its deors to
two competent representatives of the
Catholic church, and listened’ respect-
fully to their discOurses in defence of
Catholicity, without making reply to
the arguments that were presented.
The paper of Judge Robinson, a Cath-
olic layman of Connecticut, which was
read, dealt with the dogmas and doc-
trines of his church, which he eluci-
dated for the instruction of the Uni-
tarians. In the closing passages of it
he showed how Catholics and Protest-
ants might work together in certain
lines of practical service, such as the
promotion of temperance, etc.
It is certainly a remarkable circum-
stance that a Catholic priest and a Cath-
olic layman were invited to address a
Unitarian Convention, for Catholicity
and Unitarianism are as wide as the
poles asunder.
We do not draw any inference from
the friendly intercourse of prominent
members of three divergent religious
bodies at Saratoga. It is evident, how-
ever, that the clergy of the three forms
of faith can render mutual service, and
can profitably hold intercourse with
each other, free from contention.
Perhaps, in times to come, there will
be greater concord in Christendom than
there was in bygone ages or than there
is yet. This is the dream of the Pope.

LONDON, ct. 5.—The British cabinet
council met today in obedience to Tues-
day’s summons. Most of the ministers
were present. Sir William Harcourt, chan-
cellor of the exchequer, was absent. The
meeting lasted from noon until 1:30 p. m.
It was announced afterward upon au-
thority that the council, after discussing
the state of affairs in China, decided to
send troops to that country in order to
protect British interests. It is probable
that additional ships will be sent to
strengthen the fleet in Chinese waters un-
der the command of Admiral Fremontic.
It is also said that in consequence of to-
day’s meeting the British legation at P0-
king will soon be guarded by British blue-
jackets and native Indian soldiers. The
stool-I market recovered this morning from
the flatness caused by yesterday’s rumors.

Newepnpers' Fright Gone.
The English newspapers have apparent-
ly recovered from the bad fright which
some of them received by the hasty call-
ing of the council. The afternoon news-
papers, which yesterday apparently feared
war with France, are today unanimous
in expressing the opinion that there is not
the slightest need of anxiety as to a, serious
dispute with France and express the Opin-
ion that the cabinet council will not be
called upon to decide anything more seri-
ous than the protectlin of British inter-
ests in China. It was generally expected
that the council would decide the question
as to whether or not British troops are to
be sent immediately to the treaty ports of
China.
The Times, in a leader today. points out
the fact that neither Marquis Duflerln nor
Baron do Courcel. the new French em-
bassador, is at his posts as proof that
there are no serious matters in dispute be.
tween the two governments and says:
“an dc Courccl’s appointment indi—
cates that France desires to preserve the
best relations with Great Britain. We
have of course various questions of more
or less urgency and complexity between
ourselves and France, but on a calm ex-
amination of all these problems it is diffi-
cult to suppose that any one, or even any
group of them, could suddenly develop in
such a fashion as to threaten, however re-
motely, our good understanding.
Funce to Have a Free Hand.
“,In Madagascar our relations are so de-
fined by agreements, [which we have every
intention of religiously respecting, as to
leave France a free hand within all rea-
sonable limits. In Egypt, as far as known,
and in the Ifwhole category of African
questions nothing novel or startling has
come to light lately. In Slam it appears
there will be no fresh ground for contro-
versy until the report of the delimitation
commission shall be ready. In the far
east, on the contrary, we are forcibly
struck by the existence of a state of dis-
turbance, which obviously may give rise
to questions needing prompt decision by
the cabinet.”
The Times, on the authority of its
Portsmouth correspondent, declares that
yesterday’s rumors regarding the move-
ments of the British fleet are unfounded.
A dispatch to The Times from Paris
says that neither the rumor of a bitch with
Great Britain nor the report of ablockade
of Madagascar has received much credence
there. People are slow to believe that
there is a hitch between France and Great
Britain.
The Paris correspondent of The Stand-
ard says that he has made inquiries in
the proper quarters, and that he is in a
position to state that, whatever urgent
communications have been received by
the British foreign office, they did not
come from France. No urgent communi-
cation, he says, could have been sent from
the French foreign office without being
first submitted to the French cabinet.
The last cabinet meeting was held a week

The Feeling In France.’
PARIS, Oct. 5,—The French cabinet
met today. The ministers decided to
prosecute The Part1 Ouvrier, the newspa-
per which recently publishd an article up-
on the French army maneuvers that was
regarded as insulting to the army.
President Caslmlr-Perier has signed the
decree appointing Baron do Courcel
French ambassador to London in succes-
sion to M. Decrais, who has been recalled.
The Journal des Debuts, referring to
the war alarm in England, says that there
is no question between Great Britain and
France which cannot be settled amicably.
The Solell declares that Madagascar
cannot lead to a conflict between France
and Great Britain.
The Matin says that it is absurd to sup-
pose that a dispute in regard to African
adults with France was the reason for
summoning the English cabinet council.
That Alleged .‘éadagascar Blockixde.
Pom LOUIS, Island of Mauritius, Oct.
5.-—-Thc statement that a blockade of the
d of Madagascar had been declared by
no was brought here by steamer from
Madagascar. The report appears to have
been due to a misconstruction of the
French measures taken to prevent the
landing of arms and ammunition fer the
Hovas.
The Madagascar papers received here
state that the French settlers have been
warned by the French residents to repair-
to the coast in view of possible hostilities.
The French bishop and the French mis-
sionaries. however, decline to leave the
capital until the latest moment.

Catarrh starts in the nasal passages,
affecting eyes, ears and throat, and is in
fact, the great enemy of the mucous
membrane. Neglected colds in the hen «1
almost invariably precede catarrh, caus

the mucous discharge becomes interrupt-

pain across forehead and about the eyes,
a roaringand buzzing sound in the ears
and oftentimes a very offensive discharge.

cure for these troubles.
