ABUSE or CONSULAR POWER.

Not long ago there was naval demonstra-
ton off the coast of Morocco. Two Moham-
medan natives under the protection Of the
United States Consulate were imprisoned, and
the authorities obstinately refused to order
their release. Mr. Lewis. Consul at Tangier,
took up diplomatic cudgels in their defence
and an angry controversy followed. The
State Department always very much in car
nest when it has to deal with weak and petty
States, supported its representative with vigor,
and obtained assistance from the United States
Navy. The questions at issue were finally ad-
justed with the cooperation of the foreign
Consuls.
Mr.. Lewis. having displayed such energy in
defending a couple of native traders who had
received assurances Of protection from his
office, might have been expected to be even
more active in befriending an American citi-
zen. But if "The Boston Herald' be well in
formed, his zeal was exhausted in protecting
his Mohammedan friends. resident of Bos-
ton, David BeDzaquen, makes in that journal
| serious charges against the Consul. and COM

plains bitterly of the treatment received by
him nj Tangicr. He states that while he was
visiting his family in that town last September
he had dispute with a Frenchman, who in
stituted proceedings against him In the Con-
su,ar Court for assault. He was taken before
Consul Lewis. was confronted with his accuser
and two witnesses and without being allowed
10 present his case was fined, stripped OF his
watch and chain and sent to one OF the WORSE
of the Morocco jails. His account Of his ex-
neriences in Tangier must be taken with con-
siderable reserve % an ex parte statement;
but if he be truthful the case merits thorough
investigation by the State Department. MI.
Lewis should be Immediately called upon TO
exnlain his conduct in this affair.
The Sultan of Morocco has repeatedly pro-
tested against the continuance of the Consular
Courts with their judicial functions, and con-
tended that the native tribunals can be de-
oended upon TO protect the rights OF foreigners.
r. Mr.. Benzaquen is to be believed, an Amerl-
can citizen will be in the greatest danger when
summoned before United States Consul.
Whether his grievances are well grounded or
grossly exaggerated, it is undoubtedly true
that the present system Of investing Consuls
in sem-civilized countries with judicial powers
of a despotic characte" is a vicious one ana
needs radical reformation. These arbitrary
Consular powers are constantly abused and are
an unfailing source Of intrigue, contention

TT BELONGS TO" TAMMANY.

An exceedingly choice phrase, choice because
it so neatly illustrates the relation in which the
two Democratic factions Of New Y ork suppose
the public offices Of the city to stand toward
them, was employed in resolution passed by
the County Democracy Convention of the With
Senate District Monday night. This is the
district which fails of representation in the
State Senate by reason of Mr.. Reilys election
as County Clerk. Governor Hill has ordered
a new election to fill Relly's unexpired term
in the Senate, and Mr.. Cooper has selected
Tom Grady, the Grady who so disturbed Mr..
Cleveland's nerves some years ago. as Tam
manys candidate. Now, two years ago when
Reilly was elected the factions were harmoni-
Gus, and Reilly went to Albany as Tammany's
man all unchalenged. Since then the factions
have split, but the honorable and high minded
County Democrats of the With District see in
this circumstance no reason why they should
now oppose Grady. Their resolution declined
to name a candidate, on the ground that
under the agreement made year ago the
district belongs to Tammany until the explra-
ton of Senator Reilys tcrm.'
This is supposed to be a Republic and New
York State governed by it's free citizens, and
yet here are parcel Of tenth-rate politicians
openly asserting, all unconscious of the i'm
pudence of their position, utterly oblivious Of
the irones it suggests, and really in spirit
of virtue and fair mindednesS whereof they
doubtless feel uncOmmonly proud, that they
barganed away this seat in the State Senate
with another parcel of tenth-rate politicians for
a period of two years, and that it, pursuant to
this bargain, "belongs to- Tammany This
is an apt text for lecture to the people upon
their duties as citizens and voters. They and
they only are to blame for a condition of things
in which, with unblushing effrontery and quite
as a matter of course, their offices are spoken
of in a set resolution as stakes in political
gamble, the property of the winner under the
rules of the game,

that the Meyerbcerian tinge which the list has had
