THE TRIBUNE gladly calls especial attention
to Mayor Hewitt's denial of the statement that
he is committed to the plan of erecting the pro-
posed new city building in the City Hall Park
The Mayor has been supposed to advocate this
scheme, but he says that such an impression is
the "result OF misrepresentation" We heartily
welcome Mr.. Hewitts cooperation In defeating
q project which we believe to be thoroughly
bad one Our opposition was expressed the
day after the first mention was made of the
plan to cover good part Of this contracted
park with two huge "wings' of a so-oalled
building" which would destroy the beauty
and symmetry of one of the few oreditable
pieces Of architecture of which New-York can
boast--its City Hall. Despite Recorder Smyth's
and Judge Marines objections, the new build
ing should be put up, if at all, on the city's
property in Centre-st. That the City Hall
Park will be saved from this ill-advised en-
croachment there is excellent reason to believe.
Mr.. Crosby's bill forbidding this outrage will
come up for final disposition in the Assembly
on Tuesday. 1t ought to be passed by both
Houses

The Senator will find It an impracticable
undertaking to reconcile his action in support
ing the Fisheries Treaty with the views which
he expressed without reserve two years ago.
The State Department has done what he then
declared never had been done by Treaty. 1t
has interpreted the Treaty Of 1918 as discrim-
mating between merchant ships and fishing
craft, and as withholding in advance all those
commercial privileges which were exchanged
between the Governments. of the United States
and Great Britain by various acts of maritime
reciprocity during the period between 1880
and 1850. The Treaty which he is now under
pledge to advocate as a reasonable settlement
of the Fisheries question places American fish
ermen under ban, repudiates their CONNER
cial character and abandons the great princi-
pies of maritime reciprocity which have been
established between the two countries by
Article XIV commercial privileges. which did
not exist in 1918, but which have been sane

prohibited. Senator Morgan's own speeches

most convincing and unanswerable arguments

State Department has made. As the champion

awe don't pretend, gentlemen Of the jury"
said famous advocate in summing up o." boss"
case, "that the harness in question was first
rate harness. But what we do insist is that it
was frst-rate second-rate harness." So the
Mugwumps After looking Grover Cleve-
land all over from the point of view, not of his
promises, but of his achievements, they are re-
marking that they don't claim Mr. Cleveland
has made frst-rate President, but that he has
made frst-rate second-rate President.
1t is big tumble for the Mugwumps. In
1884 they went about commencing Mr. Cleve-
land as trustworthy of Civil Service
Reform Of the most advanced sort. They as
sured everybody that if elected he would regard
public office as public trust. and that Federal
employees would not be allowed to use their
positions for purely partisan purposes. They
pictured Cleveland as second Washington for
high mindedness a second Jackson for in
flexbility. They eulogized him as being in
fnitely better than his party associates the
Moses that was to rescue them from the howl
ing wilderness Of the spoils system. Now how
changed the tune! Now the Mugwumps con-
cede that they have only frst-rate second
rate President on their hands. They conoede
that he has made shipwreck Of Civil Service
Reform. They concede, as they contemplate
Garland and other of his appointees that he
has not regarded public office public trust.
They concede that the Federal oficeholders are
suffered to run with the political machines.
And then what ANY frank apology for hay
ing obtained votes for Cleveland on false pro-
tencesp no. 1.-THE Evening Post" by
way of letting itself and its idol down easily,
pensively remarks, eve have never supported
any candidate for the Presidency as absolutely
goodn Every reader of "The Pose' knows
that this is not so. That organ of Mugwumpery
did in effect hold in 1884 that Mr.. Cleve-
land was absolutely good. Why, it was SO bent
on believing him incapable of having any
faults save venial ones that for his benefit it
advanced the monstrous proposition that
chastity is "not one of the virtues that bind
society together"
"The Evening Post" and those for whom it
speaks are likely to support Mr.. Cleveland for
second term. But tho portrait of him to
which they constantly pointed with pride in
1884 will not be again exhibited. They are
aware that there is not a voter in the country
who believes that the portrait looks like the
original.

The report that Mr.. Chamberlain is about to
throw overbo GARD the remnant Of his Liberal
principles and accept place In the Tory Cabi-
net is decidedly interesting. 1t will also be
interesting to observe whether he can be re-
turned to Parliament again from Birmingham

ished custom.
prisoner falling upon his knees before a
Judge and crying out that he is innocent is a
rare spectacle in our courts. George Harrison
who did this yesterday, had entered much
more convincing plea of guilty when, few
weeks ago, be tried to cut his throat in the
courtroom. Recorder Smyth took the view
that the man did protest too much. and SEN
tenoed him for eighteen years. Harrison is an
old offender, was clearly shown to be guilty
Of robbery, and no doubt deserved all he got.
SO far as the weather was concerned, the
League championship games might have opened

cut off large part Of tho market for farm

exceed the entire demand for all American
products. But If foreign products are admitted
at low duty, vast army of American workers
must be displaced and cannot be employed at
all. Not only would the wages of the rest be
reduced, but many thousand would get no
wages at all, unless by crowding into agri-
culture they should lower the wages of farm
labor and the profits of farms.

Jacksonville, Fla, has one novelty it ought to
appreciate. This is a hotel paper, published every
day in the week but Monday, which not only
furnishes all the information hotel guests in that
State most desire. but serves up good Republican
doctrine, smoking hot and plenty Of it. The
CONSERVATION and rage Of the Democratic news
papers in the vicinage at the audacity Of The
Daily Hotel News" are amusing to see. This
coming right among them and talking out in this
vigorous fashion seems quito to take away the
breath Of the Southern editors, who are used to
having things all their own way, as the bulldozers
do. "The Hotel News" is handsomely printed
little paper, with the right opinions, and we hope
to see 1t prosper.

movement 1t is held in allegiance because the
public knows that on the congested lines Of travel
in this city it is physical impossbtlity to pro-
vide seat for every passenger On ono railroad,
however, it is approximately possible to do so,
namely the Brooklyn Bridge road. Yet the men
who mismanage that great public work deliberately
refuse to adopt any plan looking to that end.
Under the system which they have adopted for
the future, the present disgracefu and dangerous
crowding is to be perpetuated. With cynical
and contemptuous disregard Of public rights and
comforts that never was equalled by the most
soulless corporation, they openly avow their de-
termination to keep on tanning 100 passengers
each into cars that were only built for forty.
Travellers will still have to reach the Bridge by
an overcrowded sidewalk, and be hustled and
showed along the platforms and into the cars by
brutal policemen, as though they were cattle being
driven to the slaughter-pens. That such state
Of affairs should be tolerated is not tribute to
the good nature Of this public. 1t is a shameful
evidence Of its feebleness in asserting its rights
The report of tho trustees decision to persist in
their present wretched and imbecile policy ought
to have evoked storm Of popular wrath sufficient
to sweep the Board out Of existence.
The scare TO the effect that the Chicago Audi
forum would not be ready for the Republican
Convention seems to be without foundation. 1t
is promised that the building shnll be completed
In good time The claim is made that the build
ing will DO the finest convention hall In the
country. A SPECIAL feature will be tho arrange
ment Of the galleries, so that the most distant
seat will be only 10 feet from the rostrum,
whereas in the old Exposition Building some
Of the seats were $50 feet from the speakers
stand. The arrangements for seating tickets,
etc., are unusually good and promise we'll
managed convention.
