RCPUBLTCiN EMBODIMENT IN BROOkLYN

REPUBLTCiN EMBODIMENT ~ BROOkLrN.
The Republicans of brooklyn will have an
opportunity to-day 10 enroll themselves under
tho new plan of party organization which naS
been adopted in that city. Ii Is to be hoped
that they will avail themselves of it in great
numbers. \ thorough reorganization has long
been demanded and after the last election the
demand became imperative. 1t was then seen
that the Republican vote had virtually remained
at "A standstill for four years, while that Of the
Democrats had greatly increased A reference
To the figures will make this palmer. In 1883
the Republicans of Brooklyn cast 81, CO. votes
ard the Democrats 1878 votes. In 1892 the
Republican vote was only Gs,l59-a petty in
crease of i91-whilc that of their opponents
rose to 937Ji-an increase of 1886 This
was showing which no Republican in the city
could regard with cquanimity. An explanation
WAS i'm ORDER The reasonable theory of the
case was that tho Democratic gains were due
to thorough party Notwithstanding that
Of Tammany Hall in this city-and at once the
question of Republican reorganization began to
be agitatcd. 4 committee of prominent Re-
publicans was sent t. Philadelphia to study the
plan Of organization adopted there some years
ago. 4 favorable report followed and the
Philadelphia system has substantially been
agreed upon for Brooklyn. In this system the
election district is the unit of organization
1t now remains for the Republicans them
selves to show their interest i'll the party-first,
by enrolling and then by taking IN active part
in the work of the election district organiza-
lions The most perfect system will fail unless
the members of the party are willing to make
it a success. In spite of the large Democratic
gains in Brooklyn in recent years and the cleo
ton of succession of Democratic Mayors. there
is good reason for the belief that BROOKLYN is
in reality Republican city if the full Repub-
lican. vote is cast and counted. Large hopes
are built upon the new plan of organization.
The individual members Of the party must feel
their responsibility and do their part toward

RUSKIN is TENNYSONS SUCCESSOR.


1t must appear to persons ob>ciyant Of the
course of literature in England for the last few
years that Mr. Gladstone has just passed 4
Saidouc criticism upon the work Of those of
his countiNmcn who are addicted t. poetry
Mr. Ruskin is undoubtedly the greatest Eng
li-h man Of letters now living. But his name
and his wolkS belong ~ tn generation which
passed away with Carlyle and Tcnny>Jn and
Browning He WAS the contemporary Of those
great men, without being in any sense their
rival. \ disciple of Carlyle. he seemed i those
who studied the works of his mature life ~
little Of a verse maker Is the Scottish moral
i,t. People had forgotten that he took Il poet
zeal prize at oxford indeed. throughout all
his years of earnest labor in behalf Of ant and
in writings for the amelioIation of society he
seemed willing enough TO leave the rhymcd
and rhythmical illusions Of hi, youth in oh
scurity. Later, in "pIaetcIila.' he alluded to
them. but this was with i purpose thoroughly
comprehensive in a man 80 bent aS he was
upon the study OF his own mental evolution.
Ii was only in his very latest years that he
allowed verses, many of which dated from the
times Of Byron and Southey, 10 see the light
collectively in book.
Even those who admire Mr. Ku,kin most
can hardly say more Of these boyi>h pieces than
that they indicate a prccociouS intellect in the
juvenile or at best youthful, author. some Of
them showed skill in initiating the style Of men
who were popular in the second quarter Of the
nineteenth century. Others will be Of value
10 biOgr1phcrs and 10 students Of mental phc-
nomena. But surely few will say that they
furnish an adequate excuse for installing Mr..
Ruskin in the place made vacant by the death
Of Lord Tcnny son. That in accordance with
valued traditions of English letters Mr. RuSkin
deserved the highest compliment suitable to
man Of letters and within the gift of the Crown
will be enthusiastically conceded by the whole
Anglo-Ce world. But it is to be feared that
his appointment as Poet Laureate will make
the aged critic Of art and society seem the vic
tim Of stroke Of satire. Nor does the irony
of the thing touch him alone. There are not
a few men in England ambitious Of the laurel,
and there were rumorS not so long ago of some
thing very like frccfor-a race for the prize.
Mr.. Gladstonc's choice may read to them like
the verdict Of pOstcrity.

NJ. Ceveland's order closing the doors OF

it appears. on his own responsibility, and with
out consultation even with the members OF his
Cabinet. The recent order protecting Cabinet
officers from invasion on two days in each week
was considered sufficiently radical; but the
Presidents latest action is still wider depart
IRE from established precedents No more sug-
gestive commentary upon the persistent de-
mandS of the rapaciouS seekers for office could
be presented. A few of them are said to have
taken the strong hint contained in the closing
sentence of the oder: but, on the other hand.
there were evidences yesterday that the heads

than usual. Evidently it will soon become
necessary for the President to protect them in
the same way in which he has protected himself.

The Republican gathering at Louisville this
week promises to be large and successful. The
League Convention will be the principal centre
of interest, but the meetings of the National
Committee, the College League, ETC.. will com
mand a good share Of attention. The confer

ginning of the next National campaign. Al
though this is three years in the future, 1t Is
not too early to begin making preparations for
it. Several prominent members of the League

delegates are on their way to what bids fair TO

At last one of the large number OF Brooklyn
officials indicted for misuse of public money
last October has been put on trial. District
Attorney Ridgway has done the right thing in
taking charge of the case in person. lie has
chosen to try first clerk in the Building De-
partment, rather than one of the accused Alder
men or Supervisors. Mr.. Ridgway is doubtless
aware that his handling of these cases will be
closely scrutinizcd by people both in and ont
of Brooklyn, and that any neglect on his part
will call down upon him the seyerest con-
demnatiOn.
The fleet of war vessels which has been so
conspicuous a feature in New-Yohl waters for
the last fortnight will soon be widely dispersed.
The Spanish contingent departed last week.
The British ships will put to sea tomorrow,
and the French man-of-war Jean Bart will
also sail on the same day. Some of the re-
naming vessels will, however, postpone their
departure for fortnight or longer All of the
visitors, we are glad to believe will carry away
pleasant impressions of New-Yorls and its peo-
pie. 1t now appears that plans for entertain
ing the crews of the vessels on land could not
be carried out because of the officers unwilling
ness to allow their men to come ashore in large
numbers at any specified time.
