FLOWER AND THE CONSPIRACY.

His partisans cOntended all through the recent
canvass that whatever might be his mental linn
itations Roswell p. Flower was well-meaning
man. "The New-YOrk Times" which worked
hard to make Mr.. Flower Governor, steadily
held to this view While ppudiatng David b.
Hill, it asked for votes for Flower on the ground
that he was trustworthy; on the ground that in
the event of his election he could be depended
upon to pursue a course which would promote
the common veal. Does "The Times" still
hold to this view of Mr.. Flower, and is the view
correct? It comedies that Hill and his desperate
and INSCRIPTIONS allies are just now busily
scheming to steal the Senate For week or
more it has been printing dispatches from num-
Der of the close districts which establish this
grave fact Yesterday one of its correspondents
begins dispatch from Albany with this state
ment: "Many citizens of this State are con-
vinced that Governor Hill is determined to steal
the Senate. That the Republicans elected ma
jority of the members of the Senate not the
slightest doubt exists in the mind Of the great
body of the people"
Now here is a serious emergency. Scoundrels
under the leadership of David b. Hill are con-
niving TO render Of no account the will OF the
people as expressed at the ballot-bOx. 1.-The
Times" frankly admits this, and yet it must be
aware that Roswell p Flower is the man OF all
others who could if he chose disarm the con-
sprators Mr.. Flower-the Governor-elect-has
only to raise his voice in behalf Of fair play IN
the threatened districts, he has only to protest
against the holding back of returns to protest
against the disregard of the new Ballot-Reform
law, to protest against the attempt to bulldoze
Republican county clerks, in order to battle Hill
and his vile heelers. This being the case, why
does not "The Tines urge the candidate OF its
choice to perform his obvious and most impOr-
tant duty? Why does it not summon Roswell
p. Flower to demonstrate that he is worthy OF
the support which it rendered him by taking
a courageous stand against those in his own
party whose presence there is a curse to it-thOse
who are determined that if they can help it
there shall not he an honest count OF honest
votes? Why does not "The Times" point out
to Mr.. Flower that he cannot afford to take his
stand with those who are ready to seize the
Senate by dishonest means, unless foIsooth, he
desires to have his administration start with a
foul stain resting upon it?
These are salient questions and obviously they
are in order. If our contemporary declines to
invite Mr.. Flower to perform his duty then the
public will be justified in concluding one OF two
things. 1t must conclude either that "The
Timcs'' did not have tho faith in Mr. Flower
which it pretended to have during the cam
paign, or else that having it then it has since

THE yYTB SENATORIAL DISTRICT.

THE XVTH SENAIORiIL DISfhICL'
The death of Gilbert A. Deane Senator and
Senator-elect of the XVIII District, will not
change the political complexion of the Senate OF
1928. The unprncipIed bosses who now
control the Democratic party OF this State have
been making q desperate attempt OF late to
capture the XVIII District in cO.dblooded disre-
gard of the fact that the returns attested Mr..
Deane's election by clear majority. In Dutch
ess one of the three counties composing the
district, the Democrats are in the majority in the
Board of Supervisors and they have not hest
tated to use their power in the most disgraceful
manner, having been melted to perform uncOm-
monty dirty work by Deputy Attorney General
Maynard, who was in turn the tool OF Governor
Hill. They have delayed canvas.ing the re-
turns on the aimsiest Of pretexts, it being evil
dent to every dispassionate observer of their
actions that they were not acting in good faith
that they were proceeding as slowly as possible
for purpose, and that an indefensible one
1t is not believed, however, that the plot to
count in the Democratic candidate will succeed.
And, in the event of its failure, new election
will be ordered, and the vacancy will be filled
before the Legislature will convene on the first
Tuesday in January next January ). The At
torney- General, Mr.. Tabor, in response to an
inquiry, has made the following statement:
The death OF candidate for office before the cerf.
cate Of his election has been granted will make no
difference to the granting of that certificate by the
state Board OF Canvassers. The different
when Horace Greeley died between the time Of the
election and meeting Of the electors. Iu that case
the electors had the actual votes ard they cast them
for some else. But in the case of the State Board
Of Canvasscrs there Is no discretion whatever. It's
duties simply clerical and it must canvass the re-
turns according to the figures that given by the
several Boards of County Canvasscrs These figures
show TO Q mathematical certainty just who has Deen
elected in every Senatorial and Assembly District.
There be doubt whatever, except in case of
tie vote. If majority of the votes in the returns
from the three counties Of the XVIII District cast
for Deane he will be declared elected, he should
be dead. In such O Official notification would
come from the district TO the Governor that vacancy
exists Then new election would be held
OF course, now that Mr.. Deane is dead Gov
ernor Hill and his co-conSpirat0Ts against the
ballot-box will be more anxious than ever to put
through the job having for its object the theft
of the XVIII District. For they must realize
that in the event of a special election the Re-
publican candidate will be elected by majority
50 large that it will be useless to try to reverse
it. The honest voters Of Duchess, Columbia and
Putnam are sure to embrace the first opportunity
that is afforded them Of placing the brand OF
their condemnation upon the rascas who en-
deavoled to swindle Mr.. Deane out of the Sen
atorial seat to which he had been fairly elected.

NET- YORK rs THE PLACE.

An unenviable ordeal is before the Republican
National Committee 1t may be that majority
of its members have already reached the same
conclusion as to the best place for the National
Convention of next year, but even in that case
they will have to listen to as many claims ana
as much rhetoric as were expended On Congress
in advocacy of various locations for the World
Fair From the present contest Chicago Is
understood to have practically withdrawn, in
obedience TO an unwonted sense OF mOdesty.
And vet Chicago has undeniable qualifications
which experience has made so familiar that they
no longer need to be urged, and it is just pos
sible that they may carry the day once more
The other conspicuous aspirants are minneapolis,
Cincinnati, ST. Louis, Buffalo, Omaha, San Fran
cisco, Tacoma, and-well, yes, New-York, since
the soft impeachment cannot longer be success

bilious municipalities whose delegates are now
on their way to Washington in full assurance OF
triumphant progress homeward after the die
has been cast we beg their pardon, at the same
time assuring them that they are "not in it,
With great respect for our actual competitors
we may venture incidentally to remark that ST.
Louis is too hot San Francisco too remote, Ia
coma too small, Omaha too sequestered, MIN
neapols too sanguine, and our own dear Buffalo
lust trihe too fresh. Cincinnati, having already
disclosed some positive qualifications, is entitled
to grateful consideration, and doubtless the rest
have arguments to present which will bear
strong light But, after all, where are they IN
comparison with this great city OF many superb
hotels and one superlative auditorium? This Is
the place for the National Convention and we
are the people. All roads lead to New-York
and everybody likes to travel them. Our climate
in the early summer is delightful. There is no
city in the world where men can work to better
purpose or rest from their labors more agree
ably. In years past we have had no suitable
convention hall, and no available site on which
to build one That formidable obstacle has
now been removed. The most spacious, COM
Portable and attractive place of assembly on the
continent exists right in the heart of the city, and
is all ready to prove its perfect adaptation to
the uses of great political gathering.
Moreover, it must occur even to those who have
other interests at heart that it is New-HOrks
turn Nearly quarter of a century has elapsed
since National Convention was held here, and
Republicans who insist on looking at the ques-
ton from political point of view certainly will
not discover bad omen in the fact that the

The annual report of the Secretary OF War;
which was submitted to the President yesterday,
will arouse more than ordinary interest, because
it is Secretary Prcctor's valedictoy. In review
ing the work of his Department he naturally
finds not few things that give him special sat
isfaction, for they are the results Of the adop-
ton of his own ideas. The figures showing the
reduction in the number of desertfons from the
Army are highly gratifying and the dminution
is steadily going on as result Of the wise re-
form instituted by Mr.. Proctor. The Secretary
finds that the experiment of employing Indians
as soldiers is likely to turn out even better than
was expected In it he sees not only an inn
portant step toward civilizing the Indian, but
he holds that it is the cheapest and best in
surance against further Indian troubles"

long terms of school. ridiculously incompetent
teachers, and tyrannous police regulations in re

But occasionally something happens to brighten
the outlook for the Small boy, and this seems TO
be one Of the times. One Of the greatest hard
ships which the small boy has TO bear is having
the example OF the great and the good con-
stantly held up before his eyes when he has
fully determined in his own mind ever to follow
through life the glorious example of Old Dead

than and in consequence imports OF some art-
clos have declined. The most important OF these
changes is in woollen goods, decrease OF oZo'-
400. 600 divided substantially thus: $1,soO'-
600 in dress goods, S5,300,000 in cioths'
81. 900. 600 in knit goods, S1,400, 600 in yarns
81 SOC. 900 in waste and shOddy, and -, oOo,-
0OO in miscellaneous manufactures. Next in i'm
portance comes the decrease in leaf tobacco
S14, 900, and in cigars, S2,OOO,ooo. Nexs
NAV be named cotton goods, $4,000 600 IN Knit
goods. $1,000, 900 in laces and embroideries'
and 81, 200, 600 in manufactures. Then comes
the decrease of S4,SOO,OOO in products OF iron
and steel, $500, 600 in cutlery, 100000 IN
firearms. $500, 900 in cotton ties, S5OO,O0O IN
wire rods, and 500, 600 in wire rope. Then IN
silk manufactures there is decrease OF S4,-
100. 900, and in miscellaneous manufactures OF
fax So, 200, 900, and in eggs $4,000 These
few changes have given to American labor the
onportunity to supply about S51, 100000 OF
goods formerly purchased from foreign pro-
ducers IL the American worker, male and
female. averages $500 yearly, this means add
tional employment for 1900 American work.
erS.
But it must also be noted that imports OF some
products have increased, notwithstanding higher
duties thereon showing either that these were
in great demand as materials of industry, as in
the case of wool, imports of which increased
S3.1OO, 900, and miscellaneous metals S3, OoO,-
600, or that the prosperity of the people had
been such that they have purchased more than
before. as of decorated china. S1.300,000, and
of kid-gloves, 100000. There is also some
increase in imports of svered crown and plate
glass.
No one can candidly review these facts with
out seeing that the new tariff is not the senseless
and stupid device of Protectionists run mad,
which some have supposed it. First OF all, it
reduces the duties on vastly more articles than
it advances in duty, even exclusive of sugar, OF
which alone more than S72, OOO,O worth has
been imported free of duty in six months. Sec
ond, it does not hinder increased imports OF ma
terials Of industry, even in the case of wool.
But. third, it does stimulate American production
in some branches, to such an extent that moro
than S51,OOO,O 600 worth of few classes OF
goods are now obtained by employment OF
American laboreH, which were formerly OBJ
tanned by employment of foreign labor. Is there
an American of any class who is not grossly and
suiciday selfish in his spirit, who can object to
such changes az these?

WY1T RESULTS PROVE.

The Treasury Department has issued, in its
monthly report of foreign commerce for Octo-
Der /. valuable comparison of the imports for
the first twelve months under the new tariff with
tho imports for the preceding twelve months
under former duties The summary shows that
imports have not been cut of, as Free Traders
predicted, but are actually larger under the new
duties than they were before, as follows
Iss0-'Ol 1ss0-'GO
yalue imports dutiable s427 ,3e440o s53i20972o
Value Imports free Je7,o32tO 2T9.25DS7l
Total imports .Ss24, T1s,501 ssI3,4699el
The free imports were 343 per cent OF the
whole under the old tariff, but are now 4s.7
per cent under the much-reviled Mckinley bill,
and vet sugar was free of duty during only half
of the wear under consideration. Deducing the
sugar formerly dutiable but now free, the other
imports show decrease of SCI, 900, 600 in duti-
able goods or IA per cent, and an increase of
$40, 600, 600 in free goods or 10 per cent. Thus
IL appears that, irrespective of sugar the new
tariff has already removed the duties from
material part of the merchandise formerly duti-
able. An increase appears Of nearly 81, 1000, 900
in chemicals free of duty, $4,000, 900 in fruits,
$1,000, 900 in sver-bearing ores, and $1,000
900 in textile grasses, and important industries
have been materially stimulated by these wise
changes.
