Mayor Hewitt Sends to the Common Council
Stirring Message.
New YORK, April 10.-Mayor Hewitt to-
day transmitted to the common council a
stirring message disappearing the reso
luton taking froln the mayor the power
of directing what flags shall be displayed
upon city buildings. In it he shows that
while the Irish born population amounts
to 1915 per cent, y per cent. of the
board of aldermen are Irish, more than
one and one-half the normal ratio of
representation, aud thai the same ratio of
representation prevails in all the depart
ments except the police, where 2S1O are
Irish born, nearly donbls the normal
percentage. This he declares is at
the expense of the German element. He
gives tabulated account of the national
representation in office and in charitable
institutions. He states that he does not
publish the tables to iavoke comment,
but declares that under our free govern
ment and boundless resources Irish NAL
contents should exhibit a modest re-
stralnt in claiming new privileges not
now known to law and rot desired by
the more conservative portion of the ma
tionality in whose favor the skception is
demsnded. He advises the board of al
dermeu to adopt measure whereby the
vexed question may be made squarely an
issue before the people.

The United States Has Made Concessions to
Her netrimcut-WE Is Needed 10 Avert
Future Troubles
WASHINGTON, April 10 Commander
McCalla, OF the steamer Enterprise. has
made a long report to the secretary OF
the navy on the difficulty in Morocco.
After stating the general situation as al
ready published, the commander says
that while he has no desire TO pass upon
the question of the equity OF the protoc.
tive system involved IN the dis pute he Is
of the opinion that as the rights of the
United States are very clear under the
treaties, they should be upheld SO long a.
the provisions of the treaties are not
modified. While the Moorish of
ticials should not be held
to the strctest accountability
for violation of the conventional rules
adopted by the more highly civilized
nations, it IL well to understand that tho
oriental character Is quick to tHhe nd
vantage of the waving of such rules
and to accept As right a point which
might occasionally be yielded. Consul
Lewis has, MCC8lla says, in the interest of
conciliatlon and from the highest motives,
yielded at times when he was clearly sup
ported by existing treaties and might
with prOpriety have insisted upon tho
rights they accorded. These same rights,
it would appear, very often have not
been questioned when proteges of
any other nation have been uu-
der consideration. In short, the com
mander says; "The rights of the United
States have beCn denied us while tho
same rights under the same conventions
have been freely accorded to other pow
ers represented" He says the United
States government is at q disadvantage
on account of the fact that white all othor
| powers, parties to the convention, of
| 80, are represented 10y ministers resident,
congress only provided for consul for
us. The commander thinks if the posi-.
tion could be raised to a diplomatic one
we should go far towards preventing
questions which frequently arise now.

Gen, Bragg Likes the Climate and Society
hut Finds Prices Away Up.
WASHINGTON, D. c, April TO- Gen. L.
5. Bragg, minister To Mexico, has weitten
a letter to friend in this city, IN which
he speaks in the highest praise OF the
climate of the land of the Montezumss.
The hign altitude and pulque have not
shook me yet" continues the Little
General, "aud l have been received
most elegantly by everybody, aud am
on good terms with the powers that be"
After referring to the recent dinner ut
which he made the speech which At
tracted Such Widespread attention and
comment, the general adds that Mr. DiaE
has probably concluded that the United
States is not represented by any dulbus-
terer. He adds that his health is good
and that he eojoys life with no clients
nor politicians tugging AT his coat tails.
The whole trip down thore, the general
says was an agreeable surprise 70 him.
The cost of h~lOS III some respects Is
simply enormous, particularly rents
and the furnishing of house
10 live in. The general
says he inquired of a liveryman how
much he would charge per month for
carriage in which the Mexican minister
and his family might take an uccaSiouai
sniff ot Mexican air, and he was informed
that S22j per month was the pr,ce, bu,
the liverymau finally came down to $3.50
per month. But ON the whole, the gen.
eral says, the country Is much better than
tourists usually clam and is capable ot
great production whNn the lands shall
fall into hands that know how to make
them productive.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND is receiving q
good deal of advice from the press of
both parties regarding the appointment
of chief justice of the supreme court.
This Is ali right, and proper. There is
not an intelligent citizen of this country
but has as great an interest in the ap-
pointment aside from the espousibility
for making il, as Mr.. Cleveland himself
has. Aud in q matter of such grave and
universal Importance, it will be well
if he shall nay great heed to the intelli-
gently ex pressed sentiment of the public.
Nothing short of the soundest and best
material the nation affords, should ever be
thought of in connection with that most
important branch of the government
may make mistakes in eascting laws, or
in executing them; but mistakes in their
Interpretation or administration may az
any time lead TO most disastrous compli.
cations and consequences.
THE president recommends to the civil
service commission further strengthen,
ing of the system, now so firmly intrench-
ed in the departments at Washington, by
a systematic, uniform classification of
employees, and by guarding against pos.
sible abuse the recent new rule allowing
promotions from outside the classified
service and without competitive examin.
alton, under peculiar circumstances.

Democratic Economy.

Senator Allison Of Iowa, who il a MEM
Der of the Finance committee Of the Sem
ate has made "a statement regarding the
national finances, which challenges dis
pute. He says that the total apprOpria-
tons for the current fiscal year, not in
clu ding what are called permanent appro-
priations, would amount to S306, 600, 900 :;
that including permanent appropriations
they would amount to 1921 ,000, 900 He
estimated the revenue to be $40, 000, 900.
He also furnished table showing that
the expenditures of the Government for
the four years of Cleveland's administra-
ton exceed by s92, 000, 900 the expendi-
lures of the four years of Garfield's and
Arthurs administration.
The Democratic party, the party of re-
.trenchment and reform, is invited to
stand up and explain these figures to the
people of the United States before the
November election. They are also invited
to reconcile the facts stated by Senator
Allison and which they cannot deny or
explain away, with Cleveland's December
message, which was based entirely upon
the assertion that the Treasury contained
an enormous and constantly increasing
surplus, which he depicted as 'the direful
spring of woes upnulnbered" to the people
of the United States. That surplus now
appears 10 the clear light OF the truth, as
$4,000, 900 and no more, which is not
such "A surplus as to cause the slightest
anxiety and alarm.
And what excuse can Mr.. Cleveland offei
for attempting to obtain a reelection upon
false pretepses? Economy and the sur
plus were all he bad left as political CAPT
tai, it is true, but il ao@ turns out that his
party has thrown economy overheard and
has wiped out the surplus, if there was
any in December. Why, then, should VIC
keep that party in power any longer, OF

Brice Must Go After Maine.
From n. Y. Press. |

Chairman Brice's dispatch to Arthur
Sewell, saying that his National Commit.
teemen made no effort in Maine, recalls .
telegram signed "W. $. Hancock" and
sent to ''IIon. Harris NJ. Plaisted," Sep.
tember IL, 1850. The general said:
Accept my congratulations on the glorious
result of your campaign. Ii will inspire our
friends with confidence and strengthen them
in the preliminary battles which remain to be
fought elsewhere and which need all our
forces.
The Press has already pointed out that
$50, 900 in one lump was sent by Mr.. Brice
to Mr.. Sewell, and that the utmost effort
was made by the local committees AS well.
1t knows man-merely for illustration,
this is-who was offered $50 for his vote
by the opponents of Tom Reed. The
World of September 10 said in an Augusta
dispatch:
The Democrats have made splendid fight
and If victory does not crown their efforts
they will at least make serious inroad into
the Republican majority. Their canvas has
been by all odds the best they have made for
many years, and Ex-Governor Plaisted said
today that the outlook for success is as good
as IL was in 1850. The Democrats
will be satisfied if they can reduce the Re-
publican plurality to 10000.
