of self government being conducted under SUCH
disadvantages as in Hayh. French ana negro
blood combine as badly as French and lndiln'
It's main product is ignorance and worthlessness'
its collateral product is cruelty. There are just
enough exceptions to this rule to invite the nope
of Improvement and not enough to assure IT,
Hayti is a particularly bad place for such
combination to live in. The land enriches any
one who is content to sit still and let things
grow. and that is a condition which almost
necessarily leads to public disorder. The less
that a hothcaded and excitable people have to
do and the less they need to, the moro surely
do their tendencies toward excess overcome
prudence and morality Hayti is natural
garden where crops must grow at the least
provocation. Money comes easily to all and Is
as easily thrown away. Politics Is the natural
resort of every adventurous disposition, and the
stem from ambition to boodshed comes easily
and at once. The history Of Hayti presents
little that is encouraging to those who have
boped to see the island develop into an orderly,
independent community. 1t has been record
Of HvppoIites and Legitimes. Unless change
for the better soon occurs, the United States
will be under the necessity Of making especial
arrangements for the peace and safety OF their
resident citizens.

GEN SLOCUM'S LATEST EFFORT.

The taxpayers of Brooklyn who wish to pre-
serve the parks and streets from invasion by the
trolley system of electrical propulsion must ex-
ert themselves tomorrow General Slocum'
as the head of an electrical railway company
hitherto excluded from operating within the city
limits of Brooklyn by refusal of the property
owners, the Park Commissioners and the State
Railroad Commissioners, has made another APP
plication OF a modified character IN which ne
asks for mere fraction of what he once claimed
But his application to be heard tomorrow In
wolves precisely the same problems presented
in the first application of General Slocum's d.
rectors. They wish authority to cross two en-
frances to Prospect Park. They ask the Rail-
way Commission to reverse its previous rulings
and give permission to introduce the trolley
electrical system within the city limits. That
simply means the extension of the trolley sys-
tenn all over Brooklyn. General Slocum him
self declares that he does not think it wise 10
do this, yet he is willing to have it extended
over his own lines.
Brooklyn taxpayers should appear tomorrow
at the Chamber of Commerce to oppose this in
vasion of their streets. If General Slocum gets
a footing in Brooklyn, Deacon Richardson and
Mr. Lewis, of the Brooklyn City Railway Com
many. and Mr. Culver and Mr. Corbin naturally
will demand and will got the same privileges,
and Brooklyn streets will be finally overr,m by
the worst system of propulsion yet invented.

HJLUS SCIENCE or FORESTRY.

The reorganization of the Forest Commission
has been completed with Governor Hill IN con-
troll Of AIessrs. Cox and Farn, and therefore
in control of the Board. The first fruits OF this
combination are seen in a series OF dlsmlssas
and appointments dictated by the Governor in
his own political interest. lie has long been
anxious to accomplish this change, but circum-
stances have been against him. 1t was for the
purpose either of making the Commission plant
to his wishes or OF securing the chance to APP
point a new one that he instituted early in the
winter the investigation which broke down just
before the end of the session. When the AS
semby rejected the ridiculous conclusions OF It's
committee and accepted the minority report
generating the Commissioners the Governor
was at loss how to proceed, but the reSlgna-
tion of Mr.. Knevals solved the problem. lie
had been holding in allegiance the appointment
Of successor TO Mr.. Cox, whose term expired
last January, in order that he might use the
vacancy TO his best advantage in an emergency
He does not regard that gentleman with the
highest favor, but is willing TO keep him in
office on condition that he will cooperate with
the new Commissioner, Mr.. Farlin, to maintain
a solid majority of two to one for the Gov
errors schemes. The action of the Board on
Monday shows that the compact has been made
and is in good working order.
The first task assigned to the reconstructed
Commission was the discontinue of Smith NJ
Weed. On general principles there is no OBJ
lection TO this. Mr. Weed has never been in
the least likely to use whatever power he held
through patronage over the forests in sacred
trust for their welfare and the advantage of the
State. Unless common report does him great
injustice he has been a steadfast foe of the
North Woods, in spite of frequent proclamations
of friendship Ills enterprises in that region

HAYTPS DESPOTIC RULER.

The acts of which General Hyppolite, of
Hayti, has been guilty in his attempt to silence
revolution are altogether incxcuSable. Tho
United States have large interests in that un-
happy island, and they cannot afford to look on
such barbaric cruelty and tyranny with uncon-
Germ. The times are gone when dictat0rs are
at liberty 10 murder men whose independence
they dread merely because they have the physi-
cal power to do so. Ii is no longer an answer
to the protest of a foreign Power that internal
administration is none of its business. The
particular acts that Hyppolite has committed
are very much our business. They place the
lives and property of American citizens in the
greatest peril, and invite a reign of anarchy
from which we should issue with enormous loss.
The American Government is held by the Hay
tians in some sense responsible for Hyppolite 5
success in attaining power, an idea which, if
not wholly i'll error, is much exaggerated. As
between a ruler whose published aim was TO
maintain the countrys independence and one
who was evidently making ready to transfer it
to a European Power our sympathies were
naturally with the former. But this does not
imply that we guarantee his morals or give in
surance upon his ability to govern justly. Hyp-
polite has demonstrated no other wisdom than
that of tricky politician and no other strength
than that of an enraged tyIant. Ii is inevitable
that revolution must throw down a ruler who
so wantOnly provokes 1t.
Nowhere in Latin America is the experiment

Lord Chief Justice Coleridge was much offended

case and he called out Sternly as it arose. Silence
This is not a theatre!' It strikes US that this
remark might well have been made at any mo-
ment during the progress Of the trial. We Ameri-
cans are not much disposed in favor of pomp and
severe ceremonial On the contrary, our courts
are run in as plain and matteroffact way as could
be imagined, but if by chance an American had
strayed into the Cumming trial before Lord Cole
ridge. and had seen the judges throne crowded
with pretty women, laughing and chatting
while justice was being administered. he might
have been excused for thinking himself at comic
opera performance and for wondering when His
Lordship would start up his topical song We
