The Reorganization Project.

In6 1sSOF& UILdtAO EOJCCNs
We are sorry to observe that the
reorganization scheme made no prog
ress at the meeting sum moned last
evening of the Democratic County
Committee. There is a remarkable
reticence about the whole project,
but, in a word, the situation seems to
be this
The better element in the committee
and the party will not hear of a fake
reorganization. They have no stomach
for such a piece of imposture them
selves, and they are wise enough to
see that the public will not be de-
ceived or eonciliated by any farce
comedy Transformation in which
Bob" Davis and the gang,
political villains of the blacklist dye,
came out in the guise of Mr.. Robert
Davis and Company, political re-
formers and true servants of the peo-
pie. The respectable element of the
party think things had better go on
as they are than that any degrading
humbug of that kind should be per-
petrated.
On the other hand, Davis and the
gang want just that sort of humbug,
and they want nothing else. They
have no fdea of being reformed out OF
power. Rule or ruin is their maxim,
and unless they can stay on top
they. are quite willing the entire
party should be wrecked.
So there has been no reorganiza-
cation step taken, SO far. 1t is the
case ofthe irresistible force encounter
ing the immovable object.
The New York Worlds Triumphs.
The New York World announces
this morning that it has had all the
policy dens in Jersey City closed.
This is indeed news. The World has
been telling the public just a few Of
its achievements of late, but its char
acteristic modesty has prevented it
from telling more than half the truth.
1t is true it towns up to hanging Car
lyle Harris on more or less doubtful
evidence, and now it blushingly on
fesses to its share in the present
squabble among the crook politicians
and the policy men; but many Of its
most magnificent deeds remain un-
wept, unhonored and unsung, through
reticence on its part.
For instance. it is not generally
known that the World was mainly in
strumental in defeating the German
Army bill, a notable victory for the
Nineteenth Century spirit of peace.
Another triumph for which it has not
received full credit was the return of
Mr.. Gladstone to power in England
and the advancement of the Irish
Home Rule bill TO a third reading in
Parliament. 1t was the World, too,
that exposed the Panama Canal
frauds in France and sent old Lesseps
to prison. After that it was the sup
port of the great New York daily
which maintained President Carnot
in power. am
Among other notable, but not we'll
known successes of the great and only
newspaper may be mentioned the
overthrow of the Bey of Tunis, the
suppression of the African slave
trade. the great spectacular display
of the Zante earthquake, the voyage
of the Spanish caravels to our shores,
the crushing Of the Cuban revolt, the
great liz mile an hour performance
OF engine No. 999. and the warding off
of the comet last summer from knock
ing the earth INTO smithereens,
1t is not known generally that the
World has taken charge of the rising
and setting of the sun and moon and
will see to it hereafter that these
operations are punctually performed.
The tides are also to be regulated by
the Worlds Meteorological Bureau,
and q careful supervision is to be
exercised over the weather. Cyclones,
billiards and waterspouts will only
be permitted when necessary to
brighten up the news columns OF the
great and only, and in all probability
sunshine will be given away by the
quart as a sort of prize chrome with
every Sundays edition.
The triumphs of fake journalism
are not to be trammeIled by any
mere considerations of PROBABILITY or
good sense.
