HANDS OFF.

In an interview published in "The Sum-
yesterday, President Hutchins, of the Park
Board, truly says that ample space can be found
in the new parks for the great Exposition of
1892. He might have added that since the
Exposition is to be held in.the foremost mar
thine city of the world it should be somewhere
upon our hundred miles of waterfront; not
alone for sentimental reasons-nor yet that
vessels from over sea might more conveniently
unload their freight directly upon the EXPOSE
ton ground; but chiefly for additional facility
of access the advantages of which little re-
Election will make clear to any one.
But did Mr.. Hutchins speak with DELHI
Grafton when he added that if the people wish
to use Central Park for tits purpose he would
have no objections? In the first place Central
Park, from it's situation away from wharves
and railway stations, and in the heart of city
where all possible means of transportation are
daily taxed to their uttermost, would be prac-
tically inaccessible to the thronging thousands
from all parts of the country and the world
who would visit the great fair. But apart
from this, is Mr.. Hutchins willing to see the
Park oblterated because "the people" wish
to use it? What people, and how many Of
them? There are always people eager to con-
fiscate some portion of every urban park to
purposes in which they have personal interest.
InvaSions which threaten to deSolate one park
or another are organized every year, and the
united efforts of the press and all philosophical
citizens are required to repel them. These as
saults are constantly repeated, and we have
come to expect them as a matter of course I;

sion does not mean to declare that if the attack
is strong enough he stands ready to surrender.
Evidently Mr.. Hutchins has spoken without
reflection, for the one man who is chosen and
paid to stand between the peoples pleasure
grounds and possible danger would no doubt
be the very last in all the city to announce his
willingness to join raid of this Sort If 1t
should happen to be big one.

Democratic Administration. With the expan-
sion of American commerce with Australia
and the present Administration and the next
Congress cannot do anything more statesman
like or sensible than to adopt practical measures
for developing that commerce by liberal grants
for mail ransportation-Samoa may become a
coaling station of increasing value; but apart
from that consideration the Nation has no in
terests of serious importance in that tornado
swept group of Pacific islands. England and
Germany may have viewy'' schemes for par
tition of empire in the Pacific, but American
common sense repudiates the notion of parttci-
pating in such rvalries.

4 POOR E1RCE.

1t is now generally admitted among Brook
lyn politicians that all tine Park Commissioners
recently appointed must qualify before any
one of them can take office. Was Mayor Cha
pin aware of this fact when he named the Com
missoners? If he understood the requirements
of the law, what did he mean by the appoint
ment of Mr. Jackson, who, as he we'll knew
had sailed for Europe? AS he will not be like
ly to plead guilty to the charge Of making an
appointment for the sake of appearances and
of deliberately deceiving the public, the other
horn Of the dilemma must be faced. lie must
admit that he acted in ignorance of the law,

We do not suppose that any intense degree
of interest will be aroused by the McQuade
trial, which is to begin in Saratoga next week.
There is no new testimony to be offered.
Colonel Fellows denies with positiyeness the
report that Fullgraff is not to be witness, and
so il may be taken for granted that that in
former will be again put on the rack which has
been so torturing to him in the past. The Sc
lecting of jury, if it does not occupy too much
time will be interesting as showing the IA
miharity of people in Saratoga County with
affairs In New ork. close scrutiny should
be kept on Colonel Fellows's more or less Wig
orous prosecution of the case, with special at
tention to any signs that may appear OF his
need of an immediate vacation.

sEoUE1S TO THE CONFERENCE.

The text of the Berlin protocol or agreement
has not been published, but the progress OF
modification in Samoa is already revealed The
latest advices from Apia state that German
cunboat has been sent to the Marshall Islands to
fetch NIalietoa after his protracted exile. When
he lands in Samoa he will undoubtedly return
to the throne, Mataafa and Tamasese breaking
I'D their camps and renewing their allegiance
to him An election by the native chiefs may
or may not precede his restoration, but In any
event. the three Powers are responsible for his
return to power and the proceedings OF the
Samoan councils will be perfunctory formal
tiles. His reinstatement is the only practicable
method of ending the civil war which followed
foreign intervention in the affairs OF the lslands'
1t is also a complete and satisfactory vindica-
ton of the honor and good faith Of the Ameri-
can Governments.
The Berlin "Post' makes the curious an
nouncement that the British Commissioners at
the recent conference have remained on the
ground to continue negotiations respecting " the
common sphere Of influence Of the three inter-
ested Powers in Samoa" This statement must
be received with reserve. If there were any
ouestions left undetermined by the conference

missioners are not responsible for the protec-
ton or settlement of American interests. There
may be some diplomatic work going ON be-
tween the British and German Foreign Offices,
but it must relate solely to the relations OF the
two Powers. The United States, at least under
the present Administration, is competent to
discern it's own interests and to transact Its
international business through American agents
Lord Salisbury has been suspected OF having
secret understanding with Prince Bismarck
respecting the sphere Of action of each Empire
in the Pacific Ocean. Whether that under
standing, if it has existed has been modified by
the result of the conference remains an open
question. But the United States cannot under
any circumstances be a partner in any general
scheme for defining the sphere of action of two
European Powers and itself in the South Pa
ciGc. It's recent conduct in the Samoan con-
troversy has been purely disinterested. 1t has
befriended helpless people, and been content
with the vindication Of the National honor,
which had been compromised by Secretary
Bayard's vacilladon and the inaction OF the
