THE NIAGAkA RESERVATION.

In many respects the phrase "Niagara Park "
which has passed INTO current use is unfortunate
as msreprescnting the scope and purpose oil the
proposed reservation. An International fark'
so far ~ IL is a park-that il spacious area Tor
public recreation with broad landscape eilects-is
not an International necessity and such project
would kindle no popular interest II TINS PARK idca
IA held to be the central one with Niagara thrown
in as an incident, the perverslon is yet moro mon
strous Ms degrading the one object OF commanding
interest More fatal still to the trne conception Oh
tho matter Is the eject OF this phrase upon those
whose ideal of n park is field for the display Of
decorative gardening and artificial construction
for terraces archways. statuary. ribbon lines OF
eoleus and floral embroidery. Frippery of this sort
would be as ncongruous the grimy factories. the
wash houses, garbage heaps and advertisements OF
stove polish and kidney cures which now obtrude
themselves upon the presence OF Niagara.
Nothing like park is contemplated. No elabo-
rate or formal structures would be tolerated The
well considered plan is simply to take narrow
strip of ground enough merely to preserve the
scenery Of Niagara from the vulgar intrusion OF
what is distracting and offensive and to afford
visitors an opportunity OF seeing IL without paying
for the privilege or tespassing private property
II should he remembered that the desolaton of the
shores and islands now going on is moro than a
border of trees and understands and swaying vines
are as much part of Niagara as the mist in which
they make sach wonderful growth. With this one
obect-the restoration of the scenery-attained the
second purpose of the reservation will be admitted.
For surely this crownng miracle of Natures works
belongs of right to mankind. and oil should be in
yited without fee to receive the teachings of its
combined sublmity and lovellncss. The civilized
world would not permit without protest the de-
sruction of st. Peters the leyelng of the Great
PYRAMID, and surely we owe it to ourselves and to
the race to save from dcsecration and ruin this
marvellous work which is unique in the impressive
ness of the appeal it makes to the nober faculties of
man.
And what Is done must bo quickly done If all the
careful work already accomplished is not to go for
naught. for the opportunity expires next month.
The best sentiment of the State almost uniformly
in favor of the bill before the Legislature. and
members of the Senate and tho House should be
reminded of tho fact. Men and women who would
not willingly the destruction of the scenery OF
Niagara go on surely and swiftly even than II
has IN the recent past should bestr themselves to
circulate petitions and make their interest L own by
letter and every other practicable way to their
representatives in Albany.

eestivc fact that this document. appears imme-
diately after the Inauguration, and at time
when the new President may naturally Do con-
sidering what members of his party are 10 DO
honored by Federal appointment. not un-
natural inference is that the unspokcn desire OF
the memorialists that the President should dis-
criminnte in appointment between Democrats
who are and Democrats who are not repudiators'
was little more potent than the desires which
they saw fit to express.
If. Mr.. Cleveland undertakes to express the
opinion which is generally entertained in New
York and elsewhere in regard to the treatment
of creditors by Virginia, he will administer a
severe rebuke, not merely to his supporters IN
that State, of whom a very large majority nave
favored all the worst and most offensive meas
ures of repudiatiOn but his supporters in several
other States, in which measures equally repre-
hensible have been adopted Good citizens VIII

UNION FOR THE SUPPORT OF PRO-


The Committees of Conference appointed by
the two protective tariff associations which pro-
pose to meet the active work of the free-traders
by protection speeches and the diffusion OF pro-
lection lteraturei in all partsof the country, have
not vet agreed upon terms of union. That they
should be united does not admit OF question.
Nor does there seem to be any reason why they
sbould fail to agree upon certain general
propositions.
The character of the organization, 1t appears
plain, should be that of an Incorporated associa-
ton, with the control vested that it caEnot be
captured by any hostile element or used by any
particular interest or for PARTISAN purpose.
There should be dominant only the one idea OF
educating the masses by every possible means
to knowledge Of the benefits and advantages
OF protection as u principle of sound govern
ment. In such an organization there must be
no appearance even of domination by any par
ticular party, industry or interest. 1t appears
also plain that New-York, which is the most
important field of operations is likewise the
proper headquarters for National movement OF
this kind. A third proposition that should be
generally accepted is that the management
should be concentrated in small executive
body, capable of conducting its affairs on a
business basis This is most important of all.
because funds will be required for the work of
the association, and in order to secure money,
the contributors must have confidence that it
will be wisely and judiciously expended.
Upon such lines as these 1t does not seem
possible that there should be any disagreement,
and it is TO be hoped that they will form a basis
for the speedy welding of the embryo organiza-
tiOns.

PREMATURE BURIAL,

The natural horror of premature burial is so great
and general that it might be thought sufficient to
guard against that dreadful fate; but many
cases come to light that it is evident the
danger is not an imaginary one. 1t is. Of course,
greatest where ignorance exists. and where the
relatives and friends. aud sometimes the medical
practitioner. do not know how to determine
whether or not life has ceased But in this country
il is to be suspected that life is extingushed more
frequently than is supposed. not so much by hasty
interment as by placing persons thought dead
upon ice. Fear OF the action Of tha climate during
the summer months is chiefly responsible for this
practice. but the extreme hurry with which Zee is
employed in large percentage of cases opens tho
door to serious results 1t is probable that in most
instances the occurrence of death is not demon
strated by any trustworthy test. Tho apparent
cessation of circulation and respiration is regarded
as furnishing sufficient proof. aud only when other
Indications seem incompatible with tine theory of
death is any serious endeavor made to put the
ouestion beyond doubt. Moreover, many Of the
accented tests alacious. and where there is any
reason for doubt the subject the Only really safe
course is to wait until symptoms OF decomposition
appear. II after keeping body several days no
such signs appear there s the stronger reason for
continuing the experiment. But it should be dis

piration have so far ceased a. to be imperceptbe.

GOING FARTHER TO FARE WORSE

Some of the city Democratic officials who
have been comparing the salaries paid by the
Government with those paid by the city have
wisely concluded not to seek change. They
find that the further they get away from the
city treasury the worse of they will be.
Thus the Register, County Clerk and Sheriff
are each paid more than the President of the
United States, while the Judges of the Common
Pleas. Superior and Supreme Courts are paid
half as much again as the Chief Justice of the
United States. The Corporation Counsel re-
ceives half as much again salary as tho At
torney General, while there are numerous
officials, such as heads of departments, police
justices and Aqueduct Commissioners, who are
paid salaries equal and in some cases greater
than Cabinet officers. This inequality runs all
through tho service, an assistant district
attorney receiving $1,000 year more salary
than the Solicitor General of the United States.
This prodigality on the part of the city will no
doubt lessen the pressure at Washington, but
there are enough hungry and thirsty Democrats
to make things lively for the President. There
are some who were thrust Outof Office for the
public good, like Hubert o. Thompson, who, it
seems, are seeking vndication." Fortunately,

VAJTJNG FOR A POLICY.

At last we are to have little rest from poll
tics. Congress is out OF the way. NO he"
LEGISLATION can unsettle business until next
wipter-unless an extra session should be called,
and the President will certainly avold
that if possible The office-seekers can give
great deal of discomfort to each other
in their scrambling, but not much to the coun-
try.-which may indeed get some fun out OF IL.
So. with sense of relief, and with
moderately cheerful prospects for the sum-
mer the country can settle back
to business, awaiting, with placid
interest, the development OF policy by tne
new Administration. Since the war Ihe
Democratic party has been kept together solely
through its one idea of opposing any Dill OF
measure favored by the Republicans. whenever
it has had possession OF either branch OF Con-
gress it has been unable to accomplish anything
its sole bond of unity being that of an ODposi-
ton party. Its platforms have been mere at
tempts to straddle the tariff and other Leading
questions. When brought face to face With
them in Congress the party has always divided.
In one State it has been for free trade, and III
anott er for protection in one for hard money
and in another for the worst form OF soft money;
advocating Civil Service reform In one part OF
the country and opposing it in another; de-
manding retrenchment and reform and reck-
lessly voting away millions for public buildings
IN small villages and for the Improvement OF
unknown rivers and alleged harbors. 1t has
favored and opposed almost every public meas
ure, according to geographical location or party
exigencies. But it was united in decrying the
Republican party. 1t escaped responsibility Tor
MANY of its acts through the disposition OF many
voters to hold the Administration, and not Con-
gress, responsible for legislation. On many
leading topics it has practically had no policy,
not having been called upon to define one. lt
has been a party of kickers," receiving assist
ance generally from those in debt, or in distress
or who may have felt dissatisfied without stop
ping to consider the why or wherefore.
Now comes the time when definite policy
must be found. 1t can no longer shrk re-
sponsbility by throwing it on a Republican Ad-
ministration. 1t must be one thing or the
other. 1t must initiate legislation, next
winter, if not sooner, and show that
IL il composed of something beside
akickersn and Ofice-seekers, or else go down
before the wrath of the Nation. Not even
Solid South held together by sectional hatred
and ballot-box frauds, can serve to keep IN
power party without definite policy. Let
us all wait, and see what comes OF the search

ITS LOT is NOT a HAPPY ONE

ITS LOT is NOT HAPPY ONE
II is interesting 10 observe the ruse resorted
TO in order to make the appointment OF Dan
Manning to the Treasury Department palata-
BILE. 1t is commonly supposed that actions
sneak louder than words, but The Erentng
Post. in order to swallow this appointment, has
to adopt the theory that words speak louder
than actions-that Mf Cleveland is to be
Judged not by what he does, but what he says !!
ave have had our doubts" remarks Ihe Fost
in labored defence of the new Cabinet, con-
q acerning some of his [Mr. Cleveland's] selec-
q tons, but. interpreted in the light of his tw o
apublc declarations, made before his Induction
ainto Office, and of his inaugural address, we
"shall give them one and all our hearty sup
sport"
Here's richness and no mistake. The Post is
well aware that Dan Manning Is machine
politician of the most unscrupulous sort. IL
knows that his entire political career has been u
protest against political reform. 1t has not Tor
gotten how Tweed testified that his relations
with him were - very intimate and friendly" III
remembers that it was Dan Manning who stood
at Nolan's back i'm 1882, when the latter en-
deavored to capture the Mayoralty of Albany
by outrageous frauds upon the ballot-box.
Nevertheless, when The Post is asked what 1t
thinks of bestowing Cabinet position on such
a person, it replies in effect, "Ah-w woll-the
aCleveland tree is not to be Judged by its fruit,
but rather in the light of two public declara-
- tons relating to fruit True, Manning Is
bad lot, but we confidently appeal from what
aCleveiand has done to what he has said"
Verify the lot of a mugwump editor, when
called upon to express his candid opinion OF the
Cabinet ia not n happy one.
