Much time will necessarily elapSe before even
an approximate number of the persons who
persisted during the great earthquake in Japan
on Wednesday last can be obtained. But it is
probable that many thousands have been de-
sroyed and that this last seismic disturbance has
proved more disastrous than any which has &C.
cured since the great earthquake of 1885, which
almost entirely destroyed the capital city of
Toxic and resulted in loss of life estimated
at over fifty thousand 1t is strange that. al
though scarcely week passes in Japan without
some slight shocks of earthquake, due to the
volcanic character of the island, yet it is only
about once in every fifty years that great seismic
cataclysmS have taken place in the Land of the
Rising Sun.
The Chrysanhemum Show which opens to-
morrow morning in the Madison Square Garden
promises to be the finest exhibition Of
that kind ever given in this country. The
chrysanthemum craze" as it has been called
deserves better treatment than TO be numbered
among the foolish fads of the day; for it has not
only brought the culture of that splendid flower
to a degree of perfection once deemed impOs-
sbe, but it has indirectly stimulated an interest
in other flowers. The growing interest in horti-
culture during the last few years has been most
noteworthy, and indicates broadening culture
and appreciation of nature that should be en-
couraged in every legitimate way.
A curions incident having bearing upon the
CHILEAN complications is related in our San FraS-
cisco dispatches. When the Chilian commander
Of the Itaa returned to San Diego he was re-
ceved with every sign of friendliness. At a
public banquet the ltata was toasted in advance
Of the Charleston, and Monnzer was the hero OF
the hour This incident occurred in town
where the dignity of the United States courts
had been affronted and the port laws violated
by the Gillian commander. He was Toasted and
toasted upon his arrival as an evidence of good
feeling. 1t is pity that the compliment could
not have been returned when the Baltimores
men went ashore at Valparaiso for an afternoons

The Board of Aldermen needs the improving in
fluence OF some new members. Whitfield van
Colt, Alexander G. Fisk Henry l.. School and
William II. SchOtt are among the candidates VINO
have Republican support, and who have not pre-
viously been members Of the Board. They have
a GAINED good regulations In business careers and
would improve the standing Of the Board if they
were elected as members. The voters of the With
and XXIst Assembly Districts and the Twenty
third and Twenty fourth Wards should see that
these new representatives are elected to the Com
mon Council.
The Democrats Of Brooklyn in their platform say.
We recognize fully the truth Of the proposition
that the government Of the city is essentially q
business matter" An example of their business
methods is found in the contracts for water works
extension There the lowest bidders were passed
over and contracts given to higher bidders who
were favorites of the Brooklyn Ring. Then when
IL became necessary to conciliate the lower bid
ders who had been rejected on the ground that
they were not responsible. contracts were awarded
to them for similar work or other parts of the eX
tension. when they in turn were not the lowest
bidders AS q result, the city Of Brooklyn was
defrauded to the extent of thousands of dollars
In the last hours Of hot campaign Demo-
cratic leaders of the more INSCRIPTIONS variety
are generally willing to part with the last vesges
of conscience and reputation in exchange for
remote prospect of political gain. This familiar
moment has arrived, and it will be singular If
between now and Tuesday morning voters are
not begged to shuddcr at some fantastic tale
of Republican viany. II under cover Of such
an accusation the Democrats can introduce
fraudulent device Of their owD so much the
better pleased will they be with their work. For
this reason we advise all those who are decently
averse to being imposed on to be on their guard
against decoys Of this sort Tammany has never
rung an alarm bell except for the purpose and
in the hope Of sneaking of with stolen goods.
