WHY QUIBBLEf

Mr.. William T.. Curtis Assistant Secretary OF
the Treasury, has had the appearance or being
very busily engaged the last few days in and
around the Governments New-York financial
office. Naturally enough, the public has been
DESTROYS to know what If anything, he was ac-
complishing; and for the purpose of obtaining
information which 1t might be proper for him
TO give. reporters have asked him questions as
opportunity offered. His answer has uniformly
been that he was in New-York on private bust
ness. to which he added on one occasion the
rather tart remark: II have told you this sew
"eral times already. but you don't seem inclined
ito believe me- OF course, the reporters were
not inclined to believe him, knowing very well
that he had no valid reason for expecting TO be
believed.
The transaction Of public business Is not In
itself disreputable occupation, Mr.. Curtis. and
we do not understand why, having consented to
be employed by the public. you should object to
having It known that you are endeavoring to
earn your salary. 1t is not improbable that 1t
would have been an ndlscretlon on your part
to disclose the precise nature of yorr consula-
tons at the Sub Treasury and elsewhere and
nobody complains of you for not divulglng Gov
eminent affairs prematurely. But there Is
difference between reticence and indrccton.
Wouldn't 1t have been just as WELL In fact, a
good deal better to say 10 unofficial inquirers
that while you fully recognize the natural ana
legitimate interest of the people in all matters
affecting the condition Of the Treasury, you
could not properly make known what you were
doing? A courteous and truthful reply to that
effect would not have changed the situation or
added in any way to the burdens which you are
carrying with so much solicitude; but II might
have created n pleasant impression Of the sim
plicity and sincerity with which public scrv-
ant was attending to public business.

II Is impossible to express other than un-
bounded satisfaction at the challenge sent yes
terday by Mr. Charles Rose. Of London, for
race for the Americas Cup The public here and
in England has had more than Its fill OF discuss
ing the recent yachting fiasco, and will be eager
TO turn It's attention to this new development
which will reegate to ancient history the Valky-
rie III-Defcndcr contest. But the cable dispatch
sent by Mr. Rose to ex-Commodore Smith. chair
man Of the Americas Cup Committee. Is even
more gratifying as showing approval OF the
course of the Regatta Committee Of the New
York Yacht Club Just as every one is saying
that English feeling is so bitter that there will
be no more races for the Americas Cup for dec
ade ut least, Mr. Rose comes forward with what
is the strongest possible proof Of his confidence
In the fairness Of American yachting authorities.
He emphasizes this feeling by declaring that he
will seek to win the prize under conditions sat
isfactory to the Americas Cup Committee III
the first impression is not changed, Mr. Rose
will find himself extremely popular when he ar
rives here next fall.

no arrogantly and despotically called proper be-
hoyIor in court. The depressing effect Of this
hlgh-handed interference with the innocent
amusements Of considerable number OF unem-
Moved voters was at once observed The York
vile Police Court began to lose the appearance
Of n politicians picnic and assume the solemnity

high minded persons who know and dare main
tain their right to discriminate between laws
which they are willing and those which they are
unwilling to obey.
And on Wednesday last, not content with nav

actually ordered Il lawyer. an attorney, coun-

Of the whole East Side ran cold. Not only had
personal liberty been ruthlessly invaded but pro-
fessional privilege had been attacked Eventual
IL the lawyer did take Off his hat. Not, however,
,,pon compulsion He took II Off simply in a pro-
fessional way, in order to talk through 1t to the
Court. The protest stands. And no one knows
what will come Of It, Meantime the feeling on
the East side is universal that personal liberty
has been infrlnged by the orders of the Yorkville
Police Court, and men are saying that If police
court lawyers are not permitted to keep their
hats on their heads when they are not talking
through them they are liable to abandon practice
and leave the oppressed and downtrodden at the
mercy Of "Old Strongs" hard-hearted magis-
trates. Truly, we have fallen upon evil times.

sand women who have been supporting children
by working in A mill. II affects many thousand
men who have been supporting families All
these are not able TO shift with case to less
lucrative employment while waiting for
chances" They depend upon the prosperity or
American industries, and when the free-traders
shut up many shops they suffer
1t has been the habit Of late to pretend that
all the mills and all the hands are now at work
Nobody who has the slightest information about
the matter can be ignorant OF the fact that many
mills and factories have not been able TO DO
anything since the victory Of Democratic
policy closed them in 1893, and that many others
have been able to work only by spells, month
or two at a tma-the resumption being always
carefully chronicled, and the stoppage always
carefully ignored, by free trade Journals The
whole story Is told by the increase OF I'M
ports of woollen cloths since January i. the
people are not wearing more clothes In that
proportion or in any considerable proportion,
but they are buying more abroad, and as
necessary consequence are buying less from
American mills and workmen. The exact object
for which camorous and cruel free-traders have
been contending is attained when the American
mill Is closed, and the goods come In under
lower duties and fraudulent invoices from
abroad But Is 1t an object Of which decent
Americans need not be ashamedi

NEGRO DOMINATION" IN MARYLAND.

The supporters Of the German Rasn Demo
cratic" State ticket in Maryland appear to realize
that they are In desperate straits and have al
ready begun to hoist distress signals. OF course
they trying to raise the spectre OF negro
domination" and use 1t TO frighten Democrats
who have shown a disposition TO rebel against
the rule OF the bosses who have so long dom
mated the Democratic party in that State. 1t was
the boast Of secession freeaters thrty-iivc years
ago that zone Southern gentleman could whip
five Yankees To-day the Southern gentlemen
OF Maryland who are trying to force a machine
candidate for Governor upon that State are try
ing 10 convince the white voters that there Is
imminent danger the registered negro voters,
who constitute about 1S per cent Of the total vOt
ing population, will dominate" the registered
white voters, who constitute about SO per cent
of the total voting population OF the State. In
other words the regular Democrats, under the
leadership Of Messrs. German and Rasin, are
assuming and trying 10 make the white voters Of
Maryland believe that one colored Republican
vote Is more potent than four or five white
votes Elect Lowndes and YOU will have mixed
schools, mixed Boards Of Supervisors and
"'nigger' officers and employees everywhere"

Intelligent. selfrespecting and decent peo-
ple Of Maryland will be one of mixed con-
| tempt for and indignation against the shallow
demaqoc,,cs who have raised and are trying TO
take advantage Of II. 1t Is gross insult TO the
white voters of that Commonwealth, and II

"The Baltimore Sum-" In leading editorial
published on Friday, put the matter III Il nut

Tbere e. no possibility Of negro domination In
this state nor that the negro voters, who consti-
tute only IS per cent OF our total Young popuia-
ton can ever become a ruling FACTOR either In
our state or city government. No one knows this
better than German and Rasin, ana the only oo-
ject they have In view In pretending 10 sound me
alarm against the possible ascehuaIc! OF the
negro is To try to save themselves by raising
false alarm against a danger that In no way
threatens us
This statement Of the case Is indisputably
tr,,c. but the machine managers In their despera-
ton hope to profit by the false alarm they are
irving TO raise. lust as they hope to profit by
fraudulent naturaliZations and registrations and
other unlawful means and devices to which they
have rcsorted In Baltimore and In some OF the
adjacent towns and counties. All these things
are signs Of desperation which should be an all
sufficient spur to the activity and vigilance not
only of Republicans. but Of all law-nbdlng citi-
zens Of Maryland who desire fair and honest
expression Of the peoples will at the coming
State election. We have no doubt that many
honest Democrats in Baltimore who are strongly
opposed to the political methods Of Senator Cor
man and his co-workers and partisans are us
posed TO vote for Mr.. Hurst whose reputation rs
n citizen and standing as merchant are san
to be high despite the fact that he raised no pro-
fest against the unlawful acts OF the Democratic
registration officers Of that city in furhcrance OF
the scheme 10 cloihe their official proceedings

knew their man when they ordered the STATE
Convention TO nominate him for the ONCE or
Governor In view of that silent acqulescence IN
the unlawful scheme Of the registration officers
Mr. Hurst's campaign assertions Of his own
sturdy independence as well as his professions
of resplendcnt political honesty and virtue ought
TO be received with large grain OF allowance.

Efficient aid TO the constituted authorities in
their crusade against adulterated milk is to be

ducers who are found TO have supplied milk

will even take part In their prosecution. 1t
should not be overlooked that the community
owes the present purity Of its milk supply to
Justice Jerome and his associates Of the Special

The Fayerweather will litigation Is likely to
have counterpart in the various suits for the
estate Of Charles Bathgate Beck. who, like the
millionaire leather merchant, meant TO leave his
great fortune TO public institutions. The Beck
Will has been repeatedly sustained in the courts
but Just as the executor was getting ready to sell
some Of the real estate still another action was
begun. Thus Columbmia College, the NewYOrk
