he felt himself constrained to designate for
the post OF inquirer into the Armenian out
RACES an honest, straightforward Christian,

indiscriminate confidence in the Turks pur-

BY such an appointment, naturally, the
Turkish Government felt itself aggrieved.

New HAVEN, Conn, Dec. l5.-When was a
boy at school, in the thirties, Noah webster's
spelling book was used as n text book And
what delightful book IL was! 1t was inter
spersed with moral precepts and 1t also relate.l
few short stories well calculated TO impress
some moral upon our minds more vividly than
would have occurred from reading a maxim un-
accompanied with pleasant tale.
One OF these stories related how innocent dog
Tray received severe beating simply because
the good, simple-minded creature had been so
indiscreet 10 be found in bad company.
The existing political situation recalls the
story OF poor Tray. IN 1892 the Democratic
party, under the delusion that he was prodigy
OF virtue and wisdom. elected Grover Cleveland
President OF the United States. since that time
II has clearly transpired that Grover Cleveland
Is utterly ignorant OF every one OF the great
national questions now demanding a solution by
the American people. And the worst feature ~
the case Is that he Is not only ignorant, but, in
addition, so blindly cOnceited that lac is hope
lessly ignorant
Grover Cleveland has been found out. The
Democratic party was found in company with
Grover Cleveland, and poor Tray has had an
awful thrashing.
The lesson OF these events indicates the prope-
future relations between the Democratic marty
and Grover Cleveland. IL is simply this: nrop
him; repudiate him; pay no attention either 10
his wishes or TO the wishes OF the superficial,
yealy officials he has chosen AS his assistants
Grover Cleveland recommends Is contrary To
the best interests OF this country
The time for another democratic National
Convention is only about seventeen months dis
tRnt. But IL Is absolutely certain that unless
the Democratic party Immediately ceases 10 bs

use Of such a Convention will be To afford an

We suppose the English employees Of the
Mexican Interoceanic Railroad have been sup
planted by Americans merely because the man
ager\ OF the company regards the American
engineers and other workmen as more useful
than the Englishmen whose places they have
taken. There is no good reason why Gen. JACK
sons act should create intense excitement upon
the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. We suppose that
In this case he had an eye for business. and that
he appreciated the superior methods OF Ameri-
can railroaders, who are the best In the world.
Furthermore, II is within his knowledge that q
large amount of American capital has been in
vested in the Mexican Interoceanic Railroad,
and it is we'll that American capital should be
used in the interest of American labor. Any
way, why are the English 80 much concerned
in the direction Of the transportation lines be-
tween the two oceans that wash the shores of
the United States?

How Tweed Raided the Park Depart
ment.

Periods Of abuse and of injury must re-
cur in the Park Department, we suppose,
as in other great institutions. Ideas which
should be permanently supreme become
merged in others unsound and inadmissible,
at first, perhaps, through failure to appre-
ciate their importance, and then through
the greater weight of positive viciousness
This community, particularly successful
and interested in its pleasure grounds, puts
them in order and then rests content through
minor outrages, until the time comes when
it must rouse itself again to root up
the seed of damage and to restore the parks
to the preserving influences temporarily
displaced.
Mr.. OLMsTED's letter to the Park Board,
printed on Friday, declining to take up an
important project under conditions which
made the services OF his profession impossi-
ble showed how the most glarfng precedent
for those conditions occurred under the rule
of the late WILLIAM NJ. TWEED. The issue
between the public interests in the parks and
the personal interests OF self-seeking or
corrupt officials and their allies is pretty apt
to reduce itself to an issue between the
landscape architect and the laymen who are
Commissioners, the latter acting always
behind the figurehead of the engineer. The
difference between the responsibilities OF a
Landscape architect and an engineer can be
understood from very simple illustration.
For example, suppose that among the
numberless schemes of profit or eccentricity
perpetually seeking access TO the Central
Park, one is for a photograph gallery or for
an insane asylum, or for some outlandish
Encouragement of the Parks design. II such
proposition should bo referred to the
landscape architect, his report against il
would be received the next moment. He
would say, "A photograph gallery, for ex-
ample, is not an intended or reaso able fea-
ture of this pleasure ground. The city
bought land for no such purpose. Buildings
in the Park are TO be admitted with eau
tion. Such plant would be an intrusion
into the space and landscape beyond justifi-
cation. As the landscape architect employed
by the city, l must oppose the scheme"
On the other hand, the engineer not
trained in park learning. weighted with no
responsibility of design, and submissive 70
any scheme stTucturally possible would re-
ply, Where shall the gallery be'"
In the same way, in the case of the Harlem
Driveway, the Park Board, having hastily
prepared plan indefensibly absurd, and
wasteful Of the land $ natural adyanta ages, the
landscape architect said: Gentlemen, my
name cannot go upon this plan. Neither
nor my profession can be made responsible
for it," On the other hand, the engineer,
in whose name the Commissioners have ex-
plotted their recklessness, also a city en-
ployee, psrfectly competent professionally

The Grade of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

In his annual message Mr. CLEVELAND
recommended that Congress should tenn
porarily revive the grade of Lieutenant
General "in recognition of the long and dis
tinguished military services and faithful
discharge OF delicate and responsible civil
duties by Major Gen. JOHN NJ. SCHoFIELD."
Mr. CLEVELAND remarked that such an act
would he Just and gracious" and would
permit Gen. SCHoFIELD's retirement for
age, which occurs next autumn, TO be made
with rank befitting his merits"
1t is to be observed that Secretary La
MONT, on whose report the Presidents mes
sage comments, does not make such
recommendation. Mr.. LAMONT acknowl-
edges his indebtedness to Gen. SCHoFIELDs
counsel, experience, and judgment, but does
not propose the promotion Of that officer.
The question thus involved is not that Of
providing a Lieutenant-General for the
army as part of a system of reorganization I;
and yet to revive this grade for individual
benefit only seems 10 be opposed to a Judg-
ment OF Congress which has stood for n
quarter of a century.
When Gen. GRANT became President and
Gen. SHERMAN became General of the
Army in his place, Gen. SHERIDAN was in
turn promoted to the rank of Lieutenant
General, thus vacated by SHERMAN, with
the express provisO that this grade should
lapse when the new incumbent ceased to
hold it, as in fact it did. This proviso
showed that Congress recognized the fact
that promotions on account Of war service
must at some time cease. There were other
officers well worthy to receive the rank of
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS il their experience and
services are compared with those of others
holding such a rank in foreign countries.
Notable among these were Gen MEADE, the
commander of the victorious army at Get
tysburg, the greatest battle OF the war, aud
THOMAS, the renowned victor OF Nashville.
Yet Congress decided, in spite Of the dis
tinguished records Of these and other officers,
that their military rewards, which included
the rank Of Major General in the army, had
already been sufficient.
As II recognizing this fact, Mr.. CLEyE-
LAND refers also to Gen. SCHOFIELD's faith

The Police Board AbdIcates.

The Superintendent of Police and the Po-
lice Commissioners, with the exception of
Mr.. SHEEHAN, submitted meekly to severe
public humiliation on Friday and Saturday.
The Superintendent had recommended the
suspension of Capt. CREEDEN, and the Police
Board had approved 1t. That officer had
plainly perjured himself It was right to
suspend him. Whether 1t was right or
wrong the act was one within the discretion
of the Police Board. But it seems that the
Superintendent OF Police and the Police
Board have not the power to regulate the
police force, or to take such steps as they
deem best to maintain discipline in that
body. No sooner had the news of the course
of the Police Board in regard to Capt. CREE
DEN come to the ears Of the LExow Commit
tee than it got into passion. Mr.. LExow
was "white with rage" Mr.. GoFF de-
nounced the conduct of the Police Board as
"worse than shameful" Subpenas for the
Commissioners were issued amid cheers.
Mr.. MARTIN and Mr.. BYRNEs hurried over
to the august presence chamber, and were
treated like small boys, rigidly and threaten
ingly questioned, and virtually forced to
promise that the Board would undo on Sat
urday what it had done on Friday. Finally,
on Saturday the suspension Of Capt. CREE
DEN was by the Board revoked.
The course Of Mr.. BYRNEs and the Police
Commissioners, with the exception of Mr..
SuEEHAN was rs inexcusably weak as that
Of the LExow Committee was inexcusably
insolent and overbearing. There should
have been no yielding to the LExow Commit
tee, thus transcending its powers. II the Po-
lice Board and the Superintendent feel them
selves incompetent to manage the police,
they should get out. They have no right to
take their orders from the committee.
Is that committee to become the ruler as
well as the Investigator Of the polices
1t seems to us that the people of this town
are all humiliated in this humiliation of the
Police Commissioners and the Superintend-
ent OF Police. Here is n great department
intrusted by law to certain officers. Is it to
be controlled, in fact, by a committee Of the
Legislature, drunk with its own Importance
and apparently in the mood of the maudlin
and hysterical fools that attend its sessions
to shake the hands Of perjurers and to cheer
the ignominy Of the Police Board

Gresham's Fiasco In the Armenian
Business.

This Is interesting but not surprising
news that the Porto has protested against
the assignment of Mr.. JEwETT. the United
States Consul at Silvas. 10 accompany the
Turkish Commission charged to make a
whitewRshing investigation of the horrible
outraGes inflicted upon Armenian Chris
tiaas. To all well informed persons the
reason for this protest is as patent as was
the motive for the invitation which Secre-
tary GRESHAM So fOolishly accepted.
The objections To Consul JEwETT. from the
viewpoint Of the Turkish Government
which is trying to cover up the atrocities
committed in Armenia by its soldiers acting
under orders from Constantinople, are OBJ
Vioasly two. In the first place, he happens
20 be a Christian; and, in the second
place, he has not committed himself in
print beforehand TO a sweeping endorse
ment OF the Sultan's methods Of deal
lug with his wretched Christian sub
jects. Evidently, when the Porte sug-
gestsd that an American should take part
with Turkish commissioners in their pre-
tended investigation, it was expected that
President CLEVELAND would delegate some
one of the kidney of Mr.. STRAUs, the former
Minister 10 Turkey, who since his return
from Constantin0ple has constituted himself
a sort Of champion OF ABDUL HANDS sxem-
plArY conduct and yirtuOus Intentions.

duties Of his place, replied, "whst does the
Board want TO do ~ and did II.
The allegiance a landscape architect owes
10 his profession and his personal reputation
is the publics strongest bulwark against
misuses Of the parks through vandalism or
vicious politics. Repudiate his authority
without Just cause and the magnificent
property in charge Of the Park Commits
sion Is placed at the mercy Of fantastic
ignorance or private influence. The parks
constitute an almost boundless field for
schemes to fill the pockets or tickle the
conceit Of those in control.
In TwEEDs time the pressure in that
direction, working always through the
engineers, honest, but necessarily un-
protesting, soon clashed with the artistic
experts directing the work of the Park De
partment, and the latter resigned. As Mr..
OLNsTED says millions OF dollars were squan-
dered in the Central Park through corrupt
organization Of the Park Department on a
basis Of engineering instead Of on q basis
OF landscape architecture. Proportionate
money Is being squandered on the Drive
way now, by n precise repetition OF the
TWEED policy, with the added outrage that
the peculiar nature OF the tract to he dealt
with makes it more liable to damage that
will be irreparable at any cost. This long
contest about the Driveway, instead Of be-
ing concerned solely with certain territory,
involves the entire institution Of our park
system, attacked now with defiance Of its
first principles as vulgar and outrageous as
that which called for public condemnation
in the days OF TWEED.
