responsibility to the creating power-the people

will be TO unite all factions OF the Democracy this fall for
the election of a Mayor The Democrats cannot az.
ford either to be divided, to put up

majority faction, Tammany will be most powerful
IN the naming OF the Democratic candidate. Tho

There have been indications lately that the
Spanish authorities in Cuba were trying to get
a grip on some of the political offenders who
have fed from the island to this country by
demanding their cxtradition as bandits, polit-
cal refugees being projected by treaty. The
case of General Aguero, published in The
TRIBUNE on February 3, looked much like 1t,
and the recent charges that the passengers on
the brig Screamer bound for Boston, were also
bandits, have added strength to this theory.
The United States Government, OF course can
do nothing when such charges arc made but
hold the accused persons and examine into the
matter carefully. This was done in the case OF
the Screamer's passengers, and they were found
to be harmless immigrants. The inquiry has
rather helped than harmed them, for they are
to be aided by the proper authorities to reach
their destination if they need assistance.
These results will hardly encourage the Cuban
Government if they are trying to get around
the treaty.

The committee of the Assembly which has
charge of the bill relating to the sale of canned
goods, will doubtless pay due attention 20 the
protest from the men interested in this business
when the matter comes up for consideration
next week. But we fear the dealers do protest too
much. They deny that there are any abuses
connected with the sale of these gOOds-whch
is a sweeping assertion to make concerning any
branch of trade. If the articles canned are just
a. good five years after they are put up as they
ever are, what objection can there be to stamp
ing the date of the sealing on each can Would
this not be an advantage to every firm whose
goods stand the test of time

The references made at the meeting OF the
NewYork State brewers and maltsters yester-
day to the political strength of their ASSOCIATION
and the defeat of Judge Maynard last fall, were
meant of course to influence the men at
Albany who intend to vote for the High License
excise bill These covert threats should not be
needed. The brewers and maltsters represent
a large industrial interest which is opposed TO
the Roosevelt bill, but which is not so powerful
or large as the combined interests in favor OF
that measure. The brewers want cheap beer
licenses the trouble about that is that IN TINS
city. and in all cities for that matter, the hold
ers of beer licenses sell spirits as we'll as beer.
Moreover it is not likely that if all licenses are
high unlicensed places will increase. The men
who have paid large sum for right to sell VIII
themselves be interested to keep illegal liquor
stores from being established near them.

A few years ago she and her husband

She became penitent when she got 10 the
