AN ART MUSEUM ron BBo0KLYN

A highly significant movement has just been
set on foot by the Brooklyn Institute, which
aims to supply that city with adequate museums
OF art and science. This is a large undertake
ing, but the spirit which animated the highly
successful meeting held last evening gives promise
of the best results The call for this meeting
was printed in The Tribune on Sunday, and, from
tho names affixed to it, it was at once evident
that the movement has behind it the best public
sentiment Of the city. Many leading citizens
attended the meeting and took part in IL or have
expressed in other ways their hearty approval
of the undertaking. Rarely does o public enter
prise Of this sort start under more favorable
auspices. Only the preliminary steps have vet
been taken, but enough was made known last
night to show that generous cooperation on the
part Of nearly all the interests involved is assured
and that the matter needs only to be pressed in
the right way to achieve brilliant success
The Brooklyn Institute, which has taken the
initiative in the movement, is well known to the
older residents Of the city as an educational
institution Of merit and value. But from 1867
until about two years ago it was in a moribund
condition and was almost wholly lost sight Of
as an element in the life Of Brooklyn. Then
through the energy and public spirit of few
men 10 suddenly took q new lease Of life
How great a change cnme over it may be inferred
from the fact that the circulation Of its free
library increased in single year from 5000 TO
$4,000. If the enterprise now taken in hand
meets with the which IL deserves, the title
of the Brooklyn Institute to public gratitude and
enduring fame will certainly be clear. What
is proposed is to erect in the vicinity Of Prospect
Park, on land now owned by the city, museum
of art and museum Of SCIENCE together with
building for the Institute itself, one feature of
which viii he n commodiouS hall for lectures
and public meetings
The importance Of this movement 10 Brook
lyn, both present and prospective, cannot be
over-estimated. The Tribune approves IL cordially
and trusts that no obstacles will be thrown
in its way, either in the Legislature or else
where. The committee OF thirty nine well-known
ladies and gentlemen appointed at last nights
meeting is representative one and may be trusted
TO do is part wisely and well That 1t will have
the hearty and practical cooperation Of the best
sentiment of the community OF large seems
certain.

IN the mart of Prince Bismarck will be well
coined by Americans. They have no desire to
avaogarate the importance of the complications
,,b;ch have arisen over what appears to them
IN have been originally petty question un-
,vortbv Of Diplomatic wrangling between two
o,oat nations. If they can be convinced that
tho German Government is sincere in its
protestations Of regard for treaty obligations
and in it's disavowal Of any intention OF an
nexing Samoa or of interfering with Alnercan
RIGHTS in the South Seas they viii be Of one
mind in urging a diplomatic settlement. But
thov can hardly be expected to be so credulous
os n take Prince Bismarck wholly on faith.
HE course in these matters has not inspired
confidence. The secret protocols OF the last con-
Gdence. The secret protocols OF the last con-
ference will convict him, we are constrained to
believe. of duplicity in accepting Secretary
Bayard's invitation; and certainly the various
acts Of usurpation which followed the pre-
mature adjournment of that body attested his
cynical contempt for diplomatic engagements.
The United States ought not TO be begmled
into another conference unless the basis for ii
nreclude exclusive German control OF the
islands. England and Germany seem to have
agreed upon partition Of empire in the South
Pacific The United States does not desire to
he called into a conference as helpless wit
ness of that secret covenant.
Optimism seems TO be the prevailing mood
AT the State Department since the receipt Of
Prince BismarcH's reputation of the action Of
his consular representatives in proolaiming
martial law without exempting foreigners. Sec
rotary Bayard has the faculty of forgetting
everything that it is inconvenient for him to
remember. When Malietoa was deposed, mar
tial law was declared; sentrieS were authorized
by German proclamations ito shoot until
deadn anybody, native or foreign, not answer
ing the challenge; and the police of Apia and
the government Of the islands passed under
the control of Consul Becker. All the condi-
tons of the recent proclamations of martial
law were reproduced. Secretary Bayard neg
lected to demonstrate with vigor and deter
mination against the self-same acts Of usurpa-
ton which are repeated nowj and consequent
ly he is now surprised and gratified that Prince
Bismarck of his own accord should be Offering
concessions. He may be entrapped into the
conceit that the German Chancellor has turned
over q new leaf In his relations with the United
States; but those who are less credulous will
prefer to suspend judgment. Berlin
correspondent of the London journals an
nounces that the German Consul at Samoa is
to be removed for unwarrantably exceeding
his diplomatic instructions That rumor, IL it
be confirmed, will offer the strongest possible
corrob grafton OF Prince Bismarcks conciliatory
policy.

VETERANS IN THE CENSUS ELL.

We are glad to observe that the Census bill.
as amended in the Senate Committee, makes
adequate provision for including in the enumer-
alton Of surviving veterans Of the Army, Navy
and Marine Corps record Of the organiZa-
tons to which they belonged and Of the length
Of their service. The enumeration clause in
serted in the House bill while il was maturing
In committee was not sufficiently complete and
comprehensive 10 answer the full purpose for
which it was designed OF to satisfy the soldiers
though the specific recognition Of that ele-
ment in the population was wise and crafty
ing. While the bill was before the Senate
Committee suggestions Of what il ought 70 en-
body were received by Senator Hale, its scope
was enlarged, and IL was reported in form
which may possibly be susceptible Of still fur
ther Improvement, but which, as II Is, satisfies
the Grand Army. and will accomplish most
valuable purpose
The principle having been recognized and
adopted by the House Committee and by the
House, II would seem that there need be no
opposition to the clauses by which its purpose
has been perfected. Every intelligent man,
whatever his present attitude toward pension
legislation may be, must desire TO possess the
information which this measure proposes TO
obtain. Full and accurate knowledge OF the
salient facts concerning the survivors Of the
loyal host that saved the Union, and concern
ing the widows Of those who are dead, ought to
be accessible in an official form. We shall
hope to see those provisions Of the Census bill
which relate TO this subject, as amended and
reported by the Senate Committee, enacted
without abridgment. II they can be wisely
enlarged so much the better, but they ought
not to be put in peril by injudicious attempts
at improvement.
THE TRIBUNE feels special interest in this
matter for the reason that it offered the orig
nal suggestion which Congressman McKenna,
Of the House Committee, sought TO embody
in the Census bill and in accordance with the
specific approval Of the Grand Army has urged
upon the attention of the Senate Committee
those subsidiary but essential features which
are now q part Of the measure reported by
Senator Hale,

OPPOSITION TO TIE sAxroN BILL.

The Governors organ at the capital, "The
Albany Argus" persists in its opposition TO
the Saxton Ballot-Reform bill The provision
of the measure providing for the exclusive use
Of official ballots to be printed and distributed
by the county clerks induces it TO file the one
man powerr protest. Unfortunately fer this
particular protest, 1t is addressed TO voters who
have shown that they are in favor Of the con-
centrated responsibility which goes with one
man power. Not many years age the prisons
Of this State were in charge OF three in
spectors. BY vote Of the people In 1873 the
Constitution was amended so as to substitute
a one-man power-the Superintendent Of Pris-
Ons-for the inspectors. So also In 1876 a
similar change was made, under popular vote,
in the canal policy Of the State. The three
Canal Commissioners were superseded by o
0ne-man power-the Superintendent Of Public
Works. Obviously the one-man-power cry
is not calculated TO impress those who brought
about these changes in the organic law. The
destruction of all the ballots for an election dis
trict,n says 1.-THE Argus" would not DO i'm
probable under the Saxton law.D Not 80. II
would be improbable. 1t would not be i'm
possible, Just az it would not DO impossil . for
county clerk to burn up the mortgages left
in his office to be recorded or to commit suicide.
Several Of the criticisms which were passed
upon the bill at the hearing last week were
made by those who desire to see some measure
Of the sort become a law. 1.-THE Argus' and
those for whom it speaks cannot claim to be-
Of this number, They do not find fault with
the measure in order that it may be perfected
and then passed. There is warrant for assert
ing that their aim is simply to beat the bill.
"The machinery Of elections in this Statc,n
The Argus' lately observed, Gas provided
by the State we believe.is satisfactory Yes,
undoubtedly to the bosses, the wire pullers but
not satisfactory to the mass Of voters who are
in favor of pure and economical elections
All who take an intelligent interest IN oiti.

PRINCE BTSNARCKs Proposal.


Prince Bismarcks proposal to Secretary
Bayard is conciliatory in FORM He suggests
the resumption at Berlin Of the negotiations
which were broken off at Washington in July,
1887. In ordinary circumstances prompt
acquiescence would be the plain duty of the
State Department, since disputes respecting a
small group of islands several thousand miles
from California are essentially trivial and
should be settled by the usual diplomatic
methods. In this instance greater caution is
requisite. The protocols of the conference Of
1887 have not been published, and consc-
quently the country is not prepared to form an
intelligent and positive judgment of the case !
but we have valid reasons for believing that
both the German and English Ministers ig-
nored the conditions on which those consulta-
lions took place. Secretary Bayard in dis
avowing the act of Mr.. Greenebaum in raising
the American flag proposed conference on
the basis of Samoan autonomy. Germany and
England accepted the invitations; but their
representatives at once united in demand
that the German authorities should be respOn-
sble for the government of the island. Score
tary Bayard dissented the conference ad-
iourned and the German feet entered Apa
harbo or to declare war upon King AIalietoa, ex-
pei him from the throne, appoint puppet
successor and assume control of Samoa.
Eighteen months after these high-handed acts
which were not resented by Secretary Bayard
Prince Bismarck calmly proposes resumption
Of the sessions Of the conference The affronts
received then would seem TO justify aelibera-
ton and delay on the part Of the State depart
ment in accepting his invitation.
All evidences Of conciliatory disposition

The strike is over After an attempt last
ing just eight days to coerce the companies
and annoy the public the representatives Oh
the strikers shortly before midnight voted the
struggle a failure, and this morning the men
will return to their old places so far as these
have not been filed with competent men.
This decision is a wise one. The leaders show
much better sense in ending than in ordering
this strike. 1t has been failure almost from
the start, and nothing would have been gained
by keeping up the fight for month or longer
The lesson has BEEN costly one to the strik-
ers, but if they have learned to distrust the
leaders who tyrannize over them it viii be a
good deal gained.
