A FATAL SURRENDER.

There will be but one opinion among the law
abiding citizens or New York as TO the order Of
Cnle Of Ponce fOrbidding the orange parade to-
morrow. AS to the prOpriety Of the proposed parade
itself there were differing views, although we pre-
sumo that majority OF our citizens regretted any
such Intrusion OF Old World feuds upon our soil.
But to forbid parade under duress from the same
elements that eight years ago filled streets with
gangs OF cOwardly aud cruel rioters Is 10 make a

our 'roughs."
II all important for the cause OF law and order
that the challenge thrown out by thousands OF mem-
beers OF secret ORGANIZATION should have been bravev
and square met by the most resOute front on the
part or rulers. II was too late TO discuss the
advlsablfty OF allowing street parades OF Organza-
tons winch happened 10 have bitter enemies. That
question was wholly lost In the more pressing and
vital to whether the ri0tOus elements In ew
York can break up an announced procession by
brave settlement OF this question expected, and
the disappointment that prevails all the more Bit
ter that even those VINO are politically opposed to
city government were more anxious that ~
should stand up 10 Its duty than that It should Iur-
nlsh them with political capital by surrender.
II Is terribly unfortunate that we are again
brought face to face with some OF the more danger
elements OF our city, and that too IN an altitude
encouraging to them and dishearteDlng to good
men. There Is but one way In when these elements
ought to he confronted. What that way Is ask any
looking man you may meet on The street and
the answer will come out hot and strong. The
supremacy OF the law may yet DC indicated In our
streets at greater risk than would have attended
ITS assertion tomorrow. We warn those VINO have
this time succeeded III adOurning that day OF trial
that the delay Will be of no advantage to them.
