A Fraud and Its Counterpart.

Our contemporary Of Atlanta, the Con-
stttution, introduces a large subject with
this part Of q discussion upon the present
tariff doctrine Of the Democracy:
at Ia worthy OF note that, Is soon as Mr.. otEvELAND
was elected on tho platform of 1899. with its tariff
plank, he made hasta to ~rcpudiate It publicly"
Mr.. CLEVELAND, as a candidate, lodged
the tariff plank, but as President he repu-
dated 1t out and out when he sent the Will
son bill to the House of Representatives
That was notice to the country that tho
platform IN which he had been chosen
contained nj principle which a politician
was bound to respect. Tit Generalization
which spread from the White House over
the Democracy was instantaneous and COM
plete. No Democrat in Congress demanded
a tariff for revenue only, n the platform
was no more heard of. At the next Ma
tional Democratic Convention the revenue
only" principle was formally set aside.
Still filled with the fraud virus,
the Tammany men have reversed the
CLEVELAND procedure. Instead Of swear
Ing allegiance to q platform which they
mean to betray, they propose to suppress
for q special election the platform which
their party means to execute. VIII any

To THE EDITOR OF THE SCN-Sir. Under in.
structions from the Tammany bosses, the Hon.
William Jennings Bryan did his best during his
visit to this town to steer clear of national
issues. He lodged the inquiries OF the reporters.
He tried to be as non-committal. non.political,
and severely local as he could. He did not sue
coed. because 1t Is not natural for him to con-
ceal his opinion. and because the Tammany plan
OF pretending to forget national issues while tho
municipal canvass ia going on is AS impossible as
1t 10 dishonest.
In the course Of his struggles to suppress him.
self last Saturday Mr.. Bryan had to make some
remarks "of a non-political character" to a
delegation Of the Loyal Democratic League. He
began by saying that one Of tho hardest things
to do is TO make q non-political speech In q
few minutes he showed that he could not mako
such a speech. for he broke out into this refer
ence to the vital issue of 1895 and 1897:
The monopoly OF gold enabled the people to know
the meaning OF . dollar that grows fatter every day,
while the people grow leaner.
Recollecting himself. he began to talk about
local self-government," to repeat his Tammany
lesson. But he had shown that 1t was useless to
seek to divert public attention FROM what he and
most OF the men who voted for him last year re-
gard as the chief public question. 1t would have
been better for his reputation for straightfor-
wardness II he had refused to yield to the
cowardly policy Of the Tammany heelers. Tho
futtlity of that policy was illustrated by his own
remarks. and must DO palpable TO all but tho
densest heads in Tammany. STRAIGHT.

There were one or two delightful Incidents
at the Princeton commencement exercises. Tho
FIRST scholar OF the class delivered a salutatory
address In Latin, and must have caused some
wonder when he WINS oxtolling the prowess of
Princeton in pfld peddtts, or football. His gem
cral greeting Of welcome was this:

remain an invalid, or at least q valetudi-
marian, who would be debarred from try
ing and continuous activity throughout
the rest of his career. He was actually pre-
vented from giving the laborious and assid-
uous attention he had hoped to give to the
preparation OF the new charter, Of the com.
mission to frame which he had been made
the President.
Those who are most familiar with Mr..
GREEN report, however, that since last
summer he has been restored almost wholly
to his normal strength and there Is no
doubt that he is attending to his private
affairs and to the public interests which
appeal to his most laudable public spirit
with his old.time assiduity. He does not
count himself out OF the world Of spirited
activity, but remains in 1t with undimin-
ished ardor, with keenness Of observation
undiminished, and with ~tireless indus
try In pursuit of the end he has laid
out for himself. In fine, Mr.. GREEN'S
friends seem to regard him as fully able to
perform the duties Of Mayor; and, as we
have said, II he himself is Of hat opinion,
1t may be assumed that the confidence Ia
justified, for he is not a vain man. He has
" hiueh Cls " I'LL obOuV navy bllh0
to waste in thinking about himself.
OF course, Mr.. GREENS candidacy could
have no weight unless 1t were squarely in
opposition to Tammany Hall and it's Bry-
anism, concealed or avowed. That Is, he
would have to be nominated, primarily, by
the Republican party, though his record has
been as q Democrat. His relations to poll
tics, however, have long been philosophio
rather h a partisan, and hence his nomi-
nation could come from that source with
out inconsistency. Moreover, his great
scheme of consolidation was carried through
by the Republicans. and his association with
their leaders has been friendly, and sven
intimate. He would spurn a nomination by
the spurious Democracy Of Tammany Hall
as an insulting implication that he had
u into pitiable senility and imbecility.

Not tho Proper Form.

The heading of the petition for the can
didacy of Mr.. SETH Low, which the self
organized Citizens Union is to circulate, is
to this effect:
1--WE desire the nomination and election OF srTu
Low for Mayor OF the city of New York"
That is unfortunately worded. II Mr..
Low is desired as a candidate, 1t Is be-
cause he is deemed the best man, the most
available man, to lead the united opposition
to the surrender of New York to the Bryan
lied Tammany Hall. He himself neither
desires nor is willing to be a candidate
unless, as his recent letter expressed 1t, he is
convinced that his candidacy would prove
n unifying force among the friends of good
government in the city,"
The nomination of Mr.. Low. as 1t Is now
urged by the NeD York Times and the
Erening Post. for instance, and by an az.
gressive element in the Citizens Union
committee. would be, however. a serious
obstacle to such unlfcation as he desires
and as Is desired with great earnestness by
every citizen who has at heart the welfare of
this community. The obvious and even the
declared purpose of this self.appointed com.
mittee in circulating the petition is to get
a pretext for nominating Mr.. Low by itself
and for ignoring the Republican party. with
out which, of course, his election would be
impossible, and he would run simply for
the benefit of Tammany Hall.
The petition, therefore, should have been
framed in accordance with Mr.. Lows own
demand, and with the requirements of the
political situation as II actually Is. 1t
should have expressed a desire for his nom
ination as the candidate of the united oppo
sition to Tammany Hall, and not nave been
30 framed as to seem to advocate his indie
pendent nomination by such a body as the
Citizens Union. Mr.. Low Is unwilling to
run unless there Is a good chance of his
election. He will not run to split up the
opposition and thus assure the dominance
OF Organism In the chief seat of American
wealth, power, and civilization and un-
questionably his candidacy would have
that consequence II the cordial union of the
opposition was not brought about. In
other words, his nomination will be disas-
trous to his own reputation and to the
"good government" for which he has said
he seeks first of all, II 1t Is not made by the
Republican party.
individuals and newspapers oficiously
and pretentiously urging the candidacy of
Mr.. Low betray very clearly a sinister pur-
pose. They are openly striving to make
use of him as a means Of humiliating and
exasperating the Republican party, and
therefore rendering impossible his nomina-
tion by It, n consequently his election.

The Work OF the Postal Congress.

The Universal Postal Congress, which
has just closed It's session in Washington,

body of it's kline in existence. The Postal
Union now has received the adhesion of all
civilized nations for of the three outside
at the beginning Of the recent session of the
congress, one, Korea, was admitted during
Its continuance, while the other two, China
and the Orange Free State, announced their
purpose to conform to its regulations as
soon as practicable.
This assembly, although 80 extraordinary
In its representative character, has lone it's
work in a quiet and business-like way,
doubtless attracting less public attention
than some noisier bodies not 30 thoroughly
international and far less able to enforce
their conclusions in all parts of the earth.
The conservative character of the congress
has been indicated by the small number
adopted of the many radical and far-reach-
ing changes suggested before 1t convened.
On the other hand, it's record of accom-
plished work is suficient to justify the COM
ing together Of delegates from great dis
tances, and its work has been of a practical
character with reference to mercantile uses.

The suggestion Of the Hon. ANDREW H.
GREEN for Mayor by the Democratic faction
Of which the STEoKLERs are leaders brings
forward a candidate always deserving of
the serious consideration of the people of
New York.
If Mr.. GREEN had been a younger man,
he would have been the first candidate for
the office of Mayor to occur to the conserva-
tive citizens of the Greater New York. BY
the common consent of ali the forces
enlisted on the side of order and property
against the menace of revolutionary Bryan
Ism, he would have been put high upon the
list of men eligible for leadership. The
scheme of tho consolidation of munich
palities which will make New York
on the first of January next the second
among the great capitals of the world, was
conceived and originated in the broad and
statesmanlike mind of Mr.. GREEN. The
realization of hat idea, definitely formu
lated in his imagination many years ago, Is
largely due to the long, patient, intelligent,
and sagacious efforts of Mr.. GREEN. Except
for him, it is not too much to say, there
would have been no Greater New York in
this generation, though that the consolida-
ton would come eventually was inevitable.
Mr.. GREEN has studied the subject In all
Its aspects. and with the aid of a familiarity
with the history of New York and the con-
ditions of the problem, which Is equalled by
that Of no other citizen. For many years
he has been the foremost authority on the
laws affecting New York and the methods
and restrictions of its government. and con-
sequently no Mayor has entered Office with
out seeking his counsel. He Is the httest
man for the first Mayor of the Greater New
York within all Its limits, provided that
his strength Is still equal to the arduous
task the office would impose on him, and
he is made the representative OF the forces
OF civilization against the barbarism of
Organism.
Mr.. GREEN is now seventy-ive years old.
That used to be looked upon as a great age,
for 1t exceeds by five years the Psalmist's
spar of life, but it is no longer a great age.
Men foremost in the affairs of the world at
the present time, in politics, literature, bust
ness, even arms, are as old as Mr.. GREEN,
and some of them are still older. So far as
mere years are concerned, there is nothing
to disqualify him for public duty, no mat
ter how responsible. His long experience of
life and of public affairs rather renders him
the more competent for it, Mr.. GREEN suf-
fered last year from a serious and a pro-
tracted illness, which, it was feared by
his friends, would wholly incapacitate him
from further activity as a public man and,
In fact, he was obliged to desist for a long
period from the labors n the intellectual
occupations in which his ceaselessly in
dustrious life had been spent. He was an
invalid, and 1t seemed likely that he would
