TIE G4YNOR MYSTERY.

Judge Gaynor has been at pains TO write
letter TO The Brooklyn Eagle in explanation
of his relations 10 the Democratic State Conven
ton las; year, when there was q possibility AT
least that he might be nominated for Governor
His statement Is not without interest but II
lacks relevancy. The question now Is. not what
Judge Gaynor said and did about the Governor
ship in 1894 but what he Is going TO do about
the Mayoralty in 1895. When an inquiry on that
subject was made Of him yesterday he br'isquely
answered, Il haven't word 10 say; ana 10 the
committee which waited on him 10 apprise him
Of the action Of the meeting on Monday night
he only said that he would give the matter care
full consideration ana let the committee know his
decision IN a few days.
On reflection, however we are disposed TO think
that there Is a certain relevancy IN the Judges
letter to the existing situation. He atiirms that
there were two conditions which he insisted on

tion of accepting a nomination for Governor.

WHAT DO THEY THINK ABOUT 1T!

There need be no great apprehension that the
demacocical tactics Of the Democratic leaders
I'm New-York will be successful Belief in such
n possibility would stimulate speculation con-
cerning the degree OF intelligence possessed by
the voters of the State, 10 say nothing OF lheir
sense Of candor and fairness But though one
need not feel such an Apprehension, u Is ho'
pleasant TO contemplate the dishonest efforts
which are making by demagogues to convey me
,mnrossion that a considerable element OF our
population is following their lead. Just now
special effort is making TO place the whole Dody
Of German-American voters on the side OF 'he
Democratic tricksters, and to this end the puphc
demonstration OF last week was directed Init

like TO see modification OF the excise laws

Questions like these are the questions which
are provoked by the comments of German news

Chancellor McGill has missed a great oppor-
tunity. The principal par; of the platform adopt
ed by the New,Jersey Democratic Convention the
other day was devoted TO the water question,
and one would suppose that in his letter Of ac.
ceptance the Chancellor would respond to this
feryently and descant in glowing terms on the
importance Of water and the necessity Of supply
ing all Jerseymen with it in abundance But the
candidate for Governor does not mention
water at all, and makes only single veicd
reference TO the stirring demand Of the plat.
form. The rest Of the letter is occupied with
platitudes that cannot be regarded as having n
vital bearing on the impending contest. Chan
cellor McGll is not going 10 take an active part
IN the campaign. This letter will, presumably
he his sole contribution. and on the question Of
water it is lamentably deficient.

TOUGHS IN THOMAS SQUARE.
Church Goers Insulted - Gross
and Vulgar Language.

7 Persons returning from church
Sunday evening, and passing
through Thomas Square, were
greeted with a chorus of voices
giving vent to every description of
vile and vulgar language. Instead
of stopping at the approach of
ladies and gentlemen, they followed
and made all kinds of coarse jests.
It was fortunate occurrence for
the toughs that their number was
overwhelming in comparison with
the few decent people who were
passing.
1t is learned in this connection
that Sunday evenings offense was
by DO means the first in that vicin-
ity. A gang of Portuguese and low
white toughs are in the habit of
frequenting Thomas Square, max
ing it unsafe for peaceably inclined
persons to walk through at night.

DR., PARKHURsT's REFORMS.

In a recent interview, the Rev.
DR.. Parkhurst of New York City,
said that "the cause of genuine re-
form never looked so dark as now"
Why did he say SO, shortly after
one of the most remarkable politi-
cal victories of modern times7
With legion of reformers behind
him, he had swept like hurricane
through the ranks of the trained
politicians and scattered them.
Over his victory everything was
predicted A.; great reforms, purity in
the administration. Of municipal
affairs, a new and healthy public
sentiment.
Soon, however, after the noise
and shouting over the victory is
over, he solemnly declares that
"the cause of reform never looked
so dark" Why?
Able, and supremely energetic as
he is, the militant doctor does rot
understand the evolution of bust
ness affairs. He failed, and fails
10 see the Wis inertiae Of
habit, and ideas. The life of the
average citizen lies in a deep
groove. He may be by great effort
taken out of it, and may aid in
channeling out new grooves. But,
as rule, he falls back into the old
groove and moves in it. 1t is the
achievement of "great man" that
destroys the old, and perma-
nently creates new ways of think
ing.

DR.. Parkhurst, in his reform
work, struck against the machinery
of the political parties, and, while
he suspended its operation for q
moment, he could not break it up.
He made men better for a few
weeks than they really were, and
they followed him. He expected
too much. He has gained much,
in one sense, but he has not reached
a political millennium. Men, in
their political relations, express
the sentiments Of their daily lives,
and if these do not improve their
political relations do not improve.
There are no "ghort cuts" to better
conditions of life, political or other
wise.
The political leaders, even those
of the Republican party, have not
regarded DIR. Parkhurst's measures
with approval, as it created havoc
in the distribution Of Doodle"
So they have persuaded their fol-
lowers that while the Doctor him
self is pure enough, his followers
are no better than they should be,
and are only training after Doodle"
The evolution of reform, in a
great city like New York, is a most
interesting study. The victory Of
last fall was like the signal victory
of 1872, when the Tweed rule was
overthrown. Then the leaders
piped song of thanksgiving and
the rank and file Of reformers
danced to it. In twenty years the
rule of Tweedism gradually re-
covered itself. There is no reason
for despair in political reform. Only
very great and revolutionary results
must not be expected. The lesson
of infinite patience and work must
be well learned.

JAPAN's POWER FEARED.

Japan succumbs to force pure
and simple" is the manner in which
a friend of that nation explains the
action of the Government in acced-
ing to the demands of Russia, Ger.
many and France. In other words
Japan's enthusiasm has not car
ried her beyond the bounds of COM
mon sense, and she refuses to
jeopardize the power already gained
by fighting first class power, par
ticularly the stubborn forces of
Russia, which would undoubtedly
have been the working arm of the
European alliance, had the fight
been precipitated.
While it is true that Japan has
obtained all the territory that can
be handled to advantage for some
time to come, the motive that
prompted Russia's action is an
entirely selfish one and displays a
determination to obtain sooner or
later at whatever cost the
long-coveted winter harbor. The
attitude of the European powers
generally also shows dis
position not to allow the nations of
the Orient to halve and quarter
their territory according to their
own sweet will. China, with char
acteristic weakness, banked on this
policy, gave Japan all that was
asked, and put her fate practically
at the free disposal of Europeans.
But questions of military SUI
premacy are of secondary import
ance when the struggle for the bal
ance of commercial power opens, as
it must very shortly. Not a little
significance attends Germany's OBJ
lection to the manufacturing priv
lege. The new territory to be
thrown open is not altogether dis
similar to a second Oklahoma.
The Japanese are simply waiting
the word, when they will turn
their surplus population loose,
erect mills and throw their goods
upon the market in direct COMPETE
ton with European products. An
other important factor will be added
in the rush for commercial gain,
and the cheap labor of the Eastern
countries is an item that cannot be
overlooked.
It is very clear that wholesome
fear of Japan's growing power in
the East exists among the nations
of Europe, and while Russia wants
a winter harbor, the other powers
are fearful of facing the sharp COM
petition in manufactures that will |
affect their interests quite as much
as passage at arms.
