Present and prospective operations by Great
Britain ana other European Powers Will not
In any appreciahc degree affect American In
tcrcsts They may and should therefore be re-
gardcd by this Nation In n calm and impartial
manner and with only that degree of concern
which every humane people Is entitled tO feel
toward everything that pertains 10 the general
welfare Of the human race There Is no Occa-
sion 10 ramp and rage over the woes Of the
Transyaa Outlandcrs. nor to "whoop 1t up"
for the Beers who want 10 scccde from the Brit

Upon all such things Americans should be able
10 look with dispassionate observation. and OF
them to form a judgment according to the sim
pie rights of each Ease, irrespective OF the
identity of the parties concerned.
In such matters II Is safe rule to side with
the Powers that make for progress and hui
manity. 1t Is also WELL before dcnounclng the
apparent evils that are done, to consider the
actual evils that are avcrtcd or abolished For
example, the recent Ashanee campaign was

THE BATTER BAITED.

Ahlwardt. the Jew batter has got into trouble
again. as was to have been expected. He has
been mobbed, bruised, prevented from speaking,
and finally locked up by the mnions Of the law
which he hates. In all of which he will have
not a spark Of sympathy from Americans
There will be regret. deep and genuine. at the
extra legal and violent conduct exercised toward
him. Perhaps 1t will be- somewhat intensified
by the knowledge that in the scrimmagc one Of
his associates. and not Ahwardt himself, had
his jaw broken. Jawbreaking Is an unpleasant
and reprehensible operation; but If II was really
necessary to perform II at all, the eternal fitness
of things would have been more hirrmonlously
served had it been practised upon the one vOcif-
erous and pestiferous jaw whose wagging had
provoked the whole trouble
Perhaps the most unpleasant feature Of the
case Is, however. that 1t serves to bring ALL
wardt into notorIety again. and to remind
Americans Of the continuance Of his presence
among them. Hitherto they have been able al
most to forget him, so little attention has he at
tracted here outside Of the professionally Grim
inal classes. True, his mission here has been
an insult to this Nation and IN attack upon its
most cherished principles. But the Nation has
properly regarded an insult from such source
with slent contemnt- and has not worried over

The Tammany members made hard fight
in the Assembly Yesterday to defeat the bill
which wipes out the ward trustees from the
public educational system in this city. Various
amendments were suggested, and efforts were
made to recommit the bill and to insert in 1t Il
referendum provision. The desperate attempt
OF the representatives of the Wigwam to retain
the trustees shows what high value is placed
on them in Fourteenth Street. and how useful
they have been as a part of the great Tammany
machine The bill was passed by vote Of 81
to 43, and will be submitted to Mayor Strong
before being laid before the Governor. That
Mr. Strong will approve it may be taken for
granted, and the recent message Of Mr. Morton
on school reform is proof that he will sign 1t
as soon as it reaches him.
New-York tribune., 1896-04-08

1t is not on the Rancs law, but on the previ-
Ously existing statute, that the decision OF the
Court of Appeals rendered yesterday is based.
The decision is that clubs were not Obliged un-
der that law to secure licenses to sell liquors
What its bearing will be on such organizations
under the new law, which requires clubs to pay
a tax. is a point that will have to be determined
in the future At any rate. there is no likel-
hood that the principles laid down by the Court
will permit the establishment of clubs solely for
drinking purposes, so as to avoid the payment
of the tax.
