abilities and good Judgment to perform
specially important task.
That IL would be great source OF chagrin
and serious public injury IL an otherwise
favorable chance OF acquiring Mole st.
Nicolas has been destroyed by laundering
management. is not matter Of doubt.
This port, which Is sufficiently deep. capa-
cious, and sheltered from the prevail
Ing winds. possesses. in its situation
directly on the windward Passage. a
strategic value greater than that OF any
othet now under consideration in the West
Indies. St. Thomas would yield the fine
harbor Of Charlotte Amalie; San Do
mingo would furnish In Santa Barbara on
SANTANA Bay strong position. related to
the Mona Pass; but, In view OF the direct
and most used routes TO either OF the inter-
oceanic canals. Mole st. Nicolas Is best OF all.
Mr. CLEVELAND began his movements for
IL with one clear advantage over his prcde-
cessors in having funds specially available
for the purpose. Congress having made an
appropriation Of $25,OOO for foreign coaling
stations; and the Herald despatch already
referred to. on the authority OF a Senator
engaged in the affair." announced that
"Mole st. Nicolas was the objective site pro-
vided for. though not specifically named
Mr.. CLEVELAND also had the disastrous cx-
perience of Minister DOUGLASS and Admiral
GHERARDI to guide him. MANIGAr and
others were using the proposed concession
against HIPPoLYTE. and hence the affair
needed TO be SO managed that the latter
should not run the risk Of losing his place
on that ground. Article 7 Of the Haytian
Constitution forbids the cession outright OF
lands to a foreign power. and it was essen
tlal to explain that lawful lcasehold only
was sought. under undminished Haytiah
sovereignty.
How ITtPPoLYTE would regard such n
grant does not appear in tho account OF tho
SMYTHE affair. 1t Is clear, however. that
friendly relations with him were absolutely
necessary FOR carrying out the project. II.
accordingly, Mr.. SMYTHE has made a mess
Of It in the way indicated, still another
ilasco must be scored up on the record Of
Mr.. CLEvELAND's Administration.

The Cry for Choate.

The Hon. JOSEPH HODGES CHoATE, who ia
a good deal OF Mugwump with none Of the
disagreeable Mugwump traits Is now abso-
lutely Indispensable to the Republicans OF
this town. All their hopes OF investigation
depend upon him. The Chamber of Com
mercebathes his feet with tears. and prayer
fullyimplores him. The Union League Club
holds out entreating hands TO him. The
general belief OF the Republicans Is that IL
he will consent to be counsel. the inyestiGa-
tion must be a success.
Now. nobody can speak too highly OF Mr..
CHoATE's wit. eloqucnce. and bland imper-
durability OF cross-examining demeanOr;
but how Is CHoATE going to make evidence
The Republicans seem to think that CHoATE
Is the whole business and new Police
Commission thrown in. 1t is extraordinary
how much the Republicans think Of him
now; and yet he is only the ono good Mug
wump, and mighty little OF Republican;
and he knows as little about the Police De-
partment as any other man.
The Republicans may as we'll give up their
hopes Of getting CHoATE. He is too busy.
and then he is considerably too astute to
care to meddle with crooked. bow-legged,
and wall-eyed investigation.

Our Rural Ericnis.

4 number Of worthy Republican gentle
men. chiefly rural, are good enough to
come down to this town every Friday and
sit. They have commission TO execute,
and we dare say thai they will manage to
enjoy themselves meanwhile. They are In
vestigatlng, that Is. they mean to invcsti-
cato. the Police Department OF this town.
When tho committee was appointed there
must have been an impression that there
was going to be some use in an investi-
cation. Even tho terrible example OF the
FAssETT committee had not taught wisdom
TO the Republican statesmen ut Albany.
But when they come down here to investi-
gate they are surprised. The Chamber OF
Commerce was going 20 give them some
witnesses. The Chamber OF Commerce
shuts up. Tho Union League Club was
going To contribute its usual mite for the
salvation OF this town. Tho Union League
Club passes resolutions. hangs about It's
unlicensed bar and furnishes no wit
nesscs and no information to tho visiting
committee. DR.. PARKHURsT. the great
MoHAMMED OF the Mud. even PARKHURsT
has an attack OF retlcence. He would like
to have the committee sit in secret. be-
cause his deeds are evil: but, bless your
heart. he has no definite charges to make.
He would cease to be great public char
Rcter IL he were tied to chapter and verse.
and had to offer proofs to substantiate his
fanciful oratory.
So the rural statesmen are here every
week. and they are much happier here than
they would or could be anywhere else. but
In the matter of investigation they are not
especially happy They have made the mis-
take OF taking the Union League Club talk
seriously. Now. the Union League Club is
an excellent institution. and its method OF
passing resolutions commends 1t to all stu
dents of humor. But anybody who is truo
Co the traditions o: that ornament OF the
Fifth avenue. kCows that rhetoric is very
different thing from evidence.
The ease of tho Chamber OF Commerce is
but little different. Gentlemen from the
Union League Club have u fondness for
passing resolutions down town as well as
up town: and their resolutions arc as unc-
tuous and as smooth. The gentlemen who
nmuse themselves ard beguile the inter-
cocktail periods with resolutions. are far
from expecting to be called upon by n COM
mlttce Of Investigation. 1t Is curious fact
that rhetoric goes with dry goods or wet
goods as well as with professor.
We have no sympathy. however, to waste
upon these rural Investigators. Sunday is n
better day In New York city than In Cohoes.
But we hope these amiable investigators
will not investigate too closely. For in
stance. there is no license to the Union
League bar. Let us not be- too particular
about these things among gentlemen.

The Chance OF ChoIera In 1854.

For over two years the Asiatic cholera
has been epidemic in western Russia. but.
as We have had reports of the subsistence
Of its rayuges during the winter months.
there was hope that there might not be u
recurrence this spring OF the unhappy ex-
perienees Of that season in 1892 and 1893.
We regret that the dispatches at hand are
unfayOrable, There have been violent out
breaks Of the disease during the past week
at number OF the populous centres Of the
western provinces; one Of the most violent
Of them as far west as the city Of Warsaw.
and from that place both Germany and
Austria are again directly menaced.
There is reason. therefore. 10 fear that
New York will have 20 be ON the guard for
yet another year, and that there will be
need for the utmost vigilance on the part
OF the officers Of our quarantine service.
We do not doubt the ability Of these officers
