ND B.yxEDS REPRESENTlTfvES

Some men are great only as their littleness is
unsuspected. Secretary Rayard, while he re-
manned in the Senate was generally considered
the most competent, iudicious and brilliant
statesman in the Democratic party. He has
bcen Mt the head Of an important executive
department only eighteen months, and the
country il convinced that his capacity as a
mblic man and his authority as a political
leader have been grossly oycrestimatcd. No
denartment of the present Administration has
been so feebly or so ignoraDtly conducted as
the State Department. The surrender to the
British Minister on the question OF prolonging
the operation Of treaty provisions abrogated by
Congress, the pusillanimous inaction which has
followed the fishery outrages and the indecent
haste and clustering tone with which per-
cmptory demands have been made upon the
Mexican Government are the Secretary's chief
failures in diplomatic policy. But his incapac-
itv. creduty, recklessness and ignorance Of
mon have been shown almost as consplcuously
in appointments made solely upon his recon-
mcndation.
Our regular Washington correspondent deals
exhaustiyely with the Sccretary's appointments

Diplomatic and consular service exclusively
from the circle of his personal acquaintance f.;
but when his visiting list was exhausted he
received from political advisers certificates OF
good character for candidates for foreign ap-
pontmcnts. II is not easy to determine from
our correspondents comparative exhibit
whether the Secretary was less unfortunate
when he acted upon his own responsibility
than he was when he obtained advice from
political or personal friends. Whether he chose
the men himself from his own knowledge oil
them or allowed others to influence him IN the
selections, the diplomatic and consular corps as
il is now constituted is notorious for incapacty,
incxpcriencc and bad manners, There are
honorable exceptions in the chief ambassadors
to England, Germany the Porte and other
European Governments, but very large num-
her of the Sccretarys official representatives
have made themselves the laughing-stock Of
foreign capitals by their ignorance and low
toned and dIscreditabe behavior.

DENYING THE SEA-SERPENT

Professor Gill is sceptic on the great sea-
serpent question, but 1t must be said that his
scepticism is not justified by the arguments he
adduces There are many good reasons why,
suppOsing that "any descendants OF ancient
monsters had remained alive" traces OF them
might seldom be found. There are sew
eral cetaceans the only knowledge of which
comes from one or two specimens. There is
nothing at all unthinkable or improbable in the
idea of q monster conger eel, for example. in
habIting the Ooze at the bottom OF the ocean.
Nobody has ever said that the sea- serpent was
"a true serpent" The natural presumption is
that if it exists 1t Is water snake, possibly re-
sembing or related to the eel family. Such a
huge eel would not require to come to the sur
face at all. conger eel can and does stay in
the mud all winter, and why should not great
sea snake do the same tits true thatthe descrp-
tons gwen of former sea- serpents rather suggest
creature like the plesiosaurus than member
of the eel family, but Professor Gill, OF course,
has no facts upon which to base his far too
sweeping assertion that 81 the ancient reptlllan
species have ceased to exist"
The depths of the ocean may easily conceal
this and many other wonders. but we are not
now concerned with possible maliOsaurian. All
the recent accounts of the stranger agree in de-
sc.ibing a great eel, with the head and fins of
magnified conger. Now suppose that some
such creature really does inhabt the OOze
at the bottom of the ocean; might not
some great submarine seismic movement,
by disturbing the sea bottom, have
frightened away from their usual haunts
the habitants of that region, and driven
them to the surface In that case the earth
quake and the sea-serpeDt would to certain
extent explain one another, and the remark
ably numerous advents of the latter at
this particular period would be made in
tellgible. Nor does there seem anything IN
the least improbable i'll the whole suppostion.
The huge cOnger eel is entirely possible ana
in no way unlikely His departure from the
ocean bed under the stimulating influence of
an earthquake is altogether reasonable. In
fact all that seems needed 10 settle the ques
ton finally is to catch him. and since be has
taken refuge in the HUDSON that ought not to
be impracticable.

THE CITY ELECTION.

The active interest Of all good citizens in
local political affairs was never more urgently
needed than it is now 1t is clear to every one
that mismanagemCnt and corruption have serl-
ously impaired the efficiency of some OF the
most important of the municipal departments.
The Mayor who is to he elected this year should
have the strength and courage to purify every
branch OF the service that needs attention.
Voters anxious for the good of the community
will not aid III again intrusting power to rep
representatives. of the County Democracy an
organization which is partly under the control
of placcmen appointed by the present Mayor
and partly ruled by the friends of Thompson,
Jaehne and = Flynn. So large pro-
portion of the leaders of that or
ganization are now under indictment
that their views as to municipal candidates Will
not have great weight this year. The Tam
many Hall system is as likely to turn out bad
candidates as good ones, and candidates OF thai
faction are generally Tammany men iirst and
elfi( lent officials afleward. They commonly
look out for the interests of the faction before
those of the city. The Republican candidate
will certainly attract the votes of honest, intel
lgent, patriotic people generally, If that can
expectations.
The Republican candidate for Mayor must In
the first place he honest, not only honest IN
pecuniary sense, but in poll tical one. lie must
lie above the mean and dishonorabe tricks OF
political schemeIs. He must under sand that
his first duty, if he is elected, will he to the
city in whose service he is, aud that no thought
Of personal or party advantage should be al
lowed to interfere with the faithful use OF his
powers as an official. He must not only bc hon
orable, but known to the community as being
So in order that his very name may inspire
confidence. He must be a man of sufficient
ability 10 deal intellgently with the duties OF
his position, and he should he of broad and
literal mind, so as to gain the support OF cltl-
gems who are not partsans. He must be without
entanglng alliances that would prevent his
carrying out plans Of reform for fear of injur-
ing some favored friend.
With such candidate for Mayor at the head
of the Republican ticket there is good hope
of his election. The members of the party by
their influence and their votes at the primaries
must see to il that the hopes Of citizens who
are looking to the Republican party to take the
lead in the movement for honest city govern
,ncnt are not disappointed.

sichtsccrs have begun to visit the city In order

The calm Judgment Of men who have regained
control of their wits is that the early estimates
ofdanagc were not far out Of the way. The city
appraiser has gone over the city carefully and
thinks that Charleston cannot be restored TO Its
former condition for less than 100000
Meanwhile there are many people suffering
for lack of food. Their immediate needs Will
soon be relieved by the gifts OF philanthroplc
persons all over the country; but the graver
problem Of housing the homeless and restoring
ruined buildings is harder to meet. A large
loan at low interest, the property benefited
being taken as security, Is suggested and may
TO favorably considered. Yesterday passed
without a renewal of the troubles which have
kept the people Of Charleston on the ragged
cd ge Of fear for days. and the worst it Is hoped,
is past 1t turns out that the alarm over pos
sble damage by the earthquake to the Ber-
mudas was not warranted. The steamer Trim

was not felt in the Bermuda archipelago.
