1.-THE Albany Argus" talks in reply to the con-
tention that it is generally admitted by the
intelligent observers of the political situation
that the Assembly of 1898 is to be Republican.
Furthermore, "The Argus" asserts that As tho
result of the apporonmcnt in Albany-which
cast 1892 votes for Harrison in 1883 and
81 .O37 for Clcvcland-thc Republicans of that
county will not be able to carry any of its four
districts.

Of Ncw-Yorll in the approaching campaign for
the control of the Assembly will be the gerry
mander which the Democratic majority in the
last Legislature put through. Hill, Croker

crs who now control the party organization
realize that they cannot win by fair means
They realize that the record which their repre-
scntatves in the Senate and Assembly made
at the last session was 10 the last degree dis
graceful. They realize that the majority of the
voters are too intelligent, too reputable, too
public spirited, to continue party IN power
which is responsible for the passage OF such
vile measures as the Inspectors OF Election
bill. the Excise bill, the IIucklebcrry bill the
series of bills striking down the homc-rulc
principle. Realizing all this, the desperate and
unscnpulous bosses doubtless smoker in their

"Thc Argus" already serves notice upon the
Republican voters OF its own county that they
are to be DISTINGUISHED and il serves The same
notice upon the Republicans Of New-lork,

The trouble with tho calculations Of those
who put their trust in the gcrrymander Is that

4 HTTHNING QUESTION,


Some time ago Lord Salisbury. in one of his
extra Parliamentary speeches, mentioned Mo-
rocco as likely to develop in the near future
into one of the most serious and dangerous of
international problems The prophetic utter
ances of the English Prime Minister appear
now to be on the eve of becoming realized.
The Sultan of Morocco is reported to be dying,
and much concern prevails in the Government
circles Of Great Britain, France, Germany,
Italy and Spain with regard to the ultimate
disposition of his dOminions. Each of the five
European Powers above mentioned is anxious
to secure possession Of the country for itself
and failing that, TO prevent any Of the others
from obtaining a foothold there. All arc alike
interested in the question as to what is to be-
come Of the SUtanate when its present
ruler. Mulcy lIassan at length succumbs TO
the incurable malady with which he is afflicted
1t is IA question that gives rise to no end OF
jealousy and heartburning, and it would bc a
genuine relief to every one concerned if Mo-
rocco were to be sunk to the bottom OF the
sea.
This jealousy is attributable to the fact that
the European Power which secures possession
of Morocco will hold in its hand the key to the
Mediterranean, and will be in a position TO CON
troll both the entrance and the exit of that
great inland sea. Formerly it was Gibraltar
that commanded the Straits. In the old days
Of sailing-vessels the currents of the Atlantic
and the winds forced every ship entering the
Mediterranean under the guns of Engands

the vessels are now able to keep beyond the
reach of the British cannon along the African

In the matter of strengthening the Navy
the Senate is undertaking to make good the
neglect caused by the unpatriotc and parsi-
monous course pursued by the Democrats at
the other end of the Capitol. The House au-
thorized the construction of only one new
war-vesse The Senate Committee on APP
preparations proposes in addition to this, one
battle-ship. one harbordefence ship and six
torpedo-boats. The development of the new
Navy is a subject in which all patriotic citizens
feel an interest, and they will not look patiently
on the false economy which calls for halt in
the work that has been making such salts

A full abstract of Mr.. William Astor's will
was made public yesterday, and will be found
elsewhere in this issue. The great bulk OF the
property, as was expected is bequeathcd to his
only son. so that the half OF William b. Astor's
estate inherited by William Aston will re-
main virtually intact. The requests for char
table purposes are small, amounting to only
$4,000.
Two parts of the Court Of General Sessions
were compelled TO adjourn yesterday about
half-past l o'clock because there was no fur
ther business ready TO be transacted. Yet Dis
trict.Attorney Nico!l has arranged for an ex-
pensive extraordinary term of the Oyer and
Termner in order to clear out the pigcon-holes
in his office Recorder Smyth's indignation is
natural and iustifable. Mr. Ncoll has been
District Attorney nearly year and half, and
in that time the Recorder has had occasion at
least half dozen times to criticisc him for just
such neglect as was shown Yesterday. Mr.
Smyth thinks the Oyer and Terminer cxtraor
dna,y term is unnecessary. Yesterdays pro-
ceedngs furnish strong proof that he is right.

duct of the Democrats is Doth unreasonable and
