Not THEIR FAULT.

Among the able, high-mnded. patriotic Re
publicans who reasonably aspire to the fresl-
dencv of the United States there are several
who until within a comparatively recent period
have been warranted in hoping for the nomina-
ton this year They are conscious without van
fly in the knowledge that they have served their
Marty and the country wisely and faithfully. and
are justified in believing that now, In the prime
of their mental and physical powers. they are
qualified to fill the highest place in the gift OF
the people They have no occasion either 10
apologize for the ambition which they have
cherished or to pretend that they are not dis-
appointed at the prospect of another's prefer
ment The friends to whose hands their Tort
unes have been accid entally or otherwise COM
mtted have not in every case discharged the deh-
cate task of political promotion discreetly but
they themselves are not TO blame II more zeal
than skill has been manifested In their behalf
They entered upon the campaign for the fresl-
Dental nomination in an honorable manner
and have done nothing 20 forfeit public respect
and confidence. They will Loyalty accept the
decision Of the st. Louis Convention. and. as
they have always done, will give their best
efforts to elect the nominee.
The certainty that such Is the disposition and
purpose of these eminent Republicans makes
it appropriate to say that II would be most I'M
Just if against them were directed in any de-
gree the feeling of Indignation and contempt
which has been universally aroused by the ma
lisnant tactics of Platt and Company NO doubt
the bitterest resentment which those venomous
fools have anywhere provoked Is felt by the hon.
est and sagacious gentlemen who now hnd
themselves inevitably associated in the popular
mind with this last desperate conspiracy to rule
or ruin the Republican party That Is an asso-
citation which they do not deserve to endure, and
from which they may justly claim to be deliv-
cred by the discriminating Judgment OF their
| lOW-citiZens of all parties.

THE CARE OF THE PARKS.

1t is pleasure 10 see the Park Board putting
the little lawns around the City Hall in order.
Chiefly because of It's originally bad quality
and Of systematic neglect the turf there often
as 1t has been replaced has soon degencratcd
into a shabby condition. well calculated to In
duce melancholy frame Of mind in all behold
ers. The present restoration 80 far as Ii has
gone seems to have been thoroughly well d.
rected. The new sod is thick and clean, and If
properly cared for ought to last. The secret Of
efficient and economical administration In pub
lie affairs as ii Is In domestic life Is not to let
things get into such state that their redemption
Is difficult and costly. A considerable part OF
the expenditure for which the present city gov
eminent Is nsincerely censured has been made
necessary by Tammanys habit OF neglecting
details, In order that funds might be available
for purposes of more concern TO the political
organization. There Is multitude Of little
tasks waiting to be done for the comfort and
satisfaction Of the people, and more OF them,
perhaps. are within the province Of the Park
Board than of any other department.
park, however small 1t may be. only half

merely an open space through which the air
clrculates freely. Trees which are dccrepit.
shrubs which are morlbund, and turf which is
NANCY, are forlorn objects for the eyes 10 rest
upon, and as depressing TO the spirits as the
atmosphere about them may be grateful to the
lungs. No other part of the public possessions
so well repays intelligent care and the necessary
cost Of 1t as the parks. There arb many I'M
slightly spots in all OF them which ought to be
restored to beauty as soon as possible, and
thereafter kept beautiful continually great
deal of work will need to be done In Central
Park at suitable seasons. within the next few
years. We think. for example, that any thor
oughly competent judge would say that at least
one-fourth Of the trees there could be cut down
with great advantage TO the rest. and that the
general beauty and value OF the Park would be
enhanced by their removal. In very many cases
trees are now hamperlng and despoing one
another. and II the ttest survives, 1t will never

WIDESPREAD satisfaction will be caused by the
news published elsewhere in our columns to-day
that Governor Morton has signed bill providing
for an appropriation of 81 100000 to be eXpend-
cd in the Improvement of the city water supply.
The latter is inadequate both as regards guam
tty and pressure. especially in the downtown
districts. which, owing to their crowded condi-
ton. are more seriously exposed to the danger
of fire than those further up toward Harlem
Tho new ARRANGEMENTS now about to be effect
cd will tend considerably to diminish this risk.
which naturally accounts for the solci'ude
with which the insurance companies have been
watching the progress of the bill through the
various stages requisite to convert 1T into law.

that swept across thickly populated part Of
Texas on Friday the destruction wrought by the
storm is seen to be far greater than was at first
supposed. The list of persons whose lives were

now believed, reach as high as two hundred,
while there are probably as many more who will
carry the scars of this fatal day to the end of
their lives There does not yet appear to be any

A SPECIMEN GOLD-BUG ADVOCATE.
His Misrepresentation About Mexic

Editor Representative:
There was man by the name of Amys
appeared in our midst a speaker in favor
of the single gold standard. AS a speaker
he had ability on that subject, we have
nothing to say; but the logic te gave us
was lot OF the foulest stuff that we have
ever been permitted to listen to. He came
to explode the Mexican free coinage system.
and Mexican prosperity under that sys-
tenn, and to prove 1t he described the very
lowest people on this earth; a people that
live in the mountains far In the interior OF
Mexico, that never had free coinage Of sill
yer, any system of money, anu in fact
would not know the use of money if they
had it. and that he proved by his own
talk, for he said that they used pumpkin
seeds as medium Of exchange This
people that he spoke of are no Improvement
on the brute creation, and too low to be
taken into account by sensible people. He
was dishonest enough to claim that free
coinage OF silver had been the direct cause
of their being in their present state of pros
perity. and insisted that we did not want
the prosperity of that people transferred
to us by free coinage Of silver. Now, we
will suppose that II any one was going to
describe our advancement in civilization as
Americans, and would go far north of this
continent they could find people as much
of heathens, and just as low as the lowest
Mexican Indians. Would 1t be a fair repre-
sentation Of us as people? Is it not an in
suit to the intelligence of the American
people to have men compare us or our adj
