true that we have at present only q small
fraction Of the new guns and mortars
mounted, partly In consequences OF the de-
lays OF past years In providing carriages
and emplacements. Yet, since more energy
10 now visible in supplying these latter
needs. and since time will be required to
organize the new regiments and 70 enlist
end instruct the men, q total addition OF
1000 ar%tillerymen Is not excessive.
Regarded merely from the point OF view
OF prudence and economy, an increase OF
the artillery should appeal strongly to Con-
gress. 1t Is certainly prudence to have
enough trained gunners at hand to form the
nucleus of an adequate defence for the har-
bors In case of sudden attack. 1t is true
economy, also. to have enough Of them In
service to take proper care Of the costly new
ferts andguns, on which scores Of millions
will be expended.

Party Government Again.

Fortunately for the restoration of sound
political conditions, the initiation Of the
Government of the enlarged New York will
be In the hands of a distinct political party,
which can be held responsible for results
by the people of the consolidated com.
munity. The magnitude of the task of gov.
erning the second city of the world will
also attract to the manner of it's perform
ance the attention OF the whole Union. and
thus BY extending the range of observation
and criticism will tend to exercise a re-
straiping and conservative influence on
those intrusted with the grave RESPONSE
bility.
1t u said commonly that 1t 10 Tammany
Hall which has secured almost undisputed
control OF the new Government. Actually,
however, 1t Is the Democratic party of New
York, representing the Democratic party as
a whole. and hence the whole will gain or
lose according as the subordinate division
In New York acquits itself in the dis.
charge of the functions committed to- it.
Practically there is now no organized De-
mocracy in New York except that of
Tammany Hall. The old County Democ.
racy, or Grace Democracy, has passed
ont of organized existence and been alb.
Sorbed by Tammany. MI. GRACE himself
and hr. SCOTT, his most active agent for
merly, went over to Tammany outright in
the late campaign. They and their chief
associates threw overheard the p~retence of
non'partisanship used In the Strong cam.
paiguRs an odious burden crushing to all
their political ambitions. The election has
also eliminated from the field of politics
all the other Democratic factions which
have been warning against Tammany, at
least FOR " time being. The George move.

Tho Riverside Drive Extension.

The proposed extension Of Riverside
Drive, to be undertaken under the authori-
ty of 4 law passed at the last session of the
Legislature, must now be settled one way
or another. II plans are not adopted by
the Board Of Estimate and Apportionment
and approved by the Park Board this week,
or before Nov. 20, the terms Of the law will
not be complied with.
This undertaking is serious, not only be-
cause 1t involves the expenditure Of six or
eight millions of dollars, but also because
the new drive will form q dominant fea-
ture in the landscape along a mile and o
half OF some of the most magnificent river
front In the world. In view of this fact,
the most careful and well-digested con-
sideration should be given to the treat
ment Of this new feature. If there should
seem to be any uncertainty as to the wis.
dom Of the plans proposed, far better would
it be to delay the entire matter until next
year. A new bill could be then passed, and
more mature study given the subject with
the aid of the new Art Commission of the
Park Department..
One Of the great dangers Of hasty decis-
ion at this time is that an unnecessarily
high iron structure will be allowed to go
over the valley at 129th street and also
over Trinity Cemetery at 155th street
Future generations will bitterly blame the
present authorities If, under plans adopted
now some iron or stone structure should be-
erected at the end of the present Riverside
Drive twenty or thirty feet higher than
necessary, for 1t would seriously mar one Of
the most splendid views to be found in the
neighborhood of any city in the world.

Count Gchwerin and Simon Sam.

The request made Of the Haytian Govern.
ment by our Minister, Mr.. POWELL, that
Herr LuEDERs should be released, seems,
according to our Berlin dispatches, to have
been a good stroke. The request was
granted, n 1t helped to relieve the matter
from immediate stress.
Yet the trouble itself has taken u shape
which may make 1t difficult for the dis.
putants to come to terms. LUEDERs. as
the account goes, was accused of inter-
fering with and assaulting the Port au
Prince police while they were making an
arrest, and, On trial, was found guilty and
sentenced to q months imprisonment. He
demanded n received a new trial, which
resulted in a sentence of $500 fine and a
years imprisonment. Then he applied for
redress to the German legation, and Count
ScHwERIN, presenting himself before Pres
ident SAM, demanded the release of LUE-
DERs, the punishment of the police and the
judges, and 81 900 a day indemnity for the
prisoner, with SIS 900 a day thereafter If
the terms were not complied with in twen-
ty-four hours.
This is a state of facts not very promising
for a fair and amicable arrangement. How
ever, Germany, instead of hurrying off a
feet to Port au Prince, Is taking the mat
ter with promising elaboration, and our
Berlin dispatches even say that some peo-
pie there regard Count Souvenirs course
as too overbearing.

To THE EDITOR OF THE sUN-Sir: The main
objection to the system OF postal savings banks
advocated by Postmaster-Genera Gary is that
1t involves the Government in transactions for.
eign TO Its natural functions. Under the plea Of
protecting citizens in their savings. it is pro-
posed that our Government establish savings
banks of its own; but. let me ask, II this be cor.
rect. why should not the State also protect its
citizens against fire by insuring their houses, OF
against the vicissitudes of fortune by insuring
their lives and granting pensions. &c.i
A healthy public sentiment desires neither a
paternal Government nor n sociulistic State, nor
yet the .usurpation by the state of the private
enterprises or Its citizens. Let the. general Coy.
eminent attend to its proper duties. AS clearly
defined by the Constitution. and leave savings
banks and all such business to it's citizens.
who are fully able TO. protect themselves in a
lawful manner, and who should jealousy guard
against Government encroachment on private
rights and enterprise.
There are other and serious objections to
postal savings banks. but the above should be
sufficient reason against them.

The Forts and tho Mon.

A few years ago the call of the great sea-
board cities was for guns and mortars; but
now 1t Is for men to handle the ordnance
already made or in process of construction.
Lately we have had some recommendations,
official and other, of an addition of
two artillery regiments to the exist
ing five. Since each regiment contains
ten foot and two mounted batteries,
that plan would add twenty hes Wy bat
teries to the force now available for
seacoast work. But the Chamber of
Commerce, noting that the programme of
defence includes over 300 heavy guns and
1000 mortars, besides $50 smaller rapid.
fire pieces. and that these will be grouped
at perhaps 10 different points, in twenty
five harbors, expresses its belief that ITO
seacoast batteries, requiring a numerical
increase of the army by about 4 900 artil-
lerymen," are absolutely necessary for the
proper manning of the forts. We have
now, In all, fifty seacoast batteries, so that
the Chamber calls for sixty more, or the
equivalent of five new regiments wholly
composed of foot batteries. 1t will be seen,
therefore, that its proposal puts far in ad-
vance the standard of artillery strength.
Years ago, Gen. SOHoFIELD estimated
that the war garrisons of our seacoast
defences, when completed according to the
plan of 1885, at twenty-seven different
points, should be, with three reliefs for each
gun, 34,96S strong. The force for the old
time pieces, useful for minor ports and for
covering submarine mines In the larger
ports, he put at 52,236 men, making a to-
tai of g. 1924 enlisted artlllerists, needed
in case of war.
We may assume, perhaps, that an enemy
would not waste time In attacking a minor
port, and also hat the high.power guns
would be sufficient for all purposes of de-
fence, without relying on the smoothbores
and other old-fashioned pieces. Or, at
least, with regular artillerists in abundance
for the twenty-five principal ports, it would
be possible to hurry detachments of them
to threatened minor ports, where old-time
ordnance, supplemented by torpedo de.
fences, were used, and where other forces,
regular or volunteer, could also aid. But
Supposing that "a, 96s regular artillerists,
at most, would be required in war for the
principal seaboard and blackboard forts, We
have the actual fact that our entire enlisted
force, Of all arms, 10 now only about %, 900.
In peace time we do not, of course, need
to provide these reliefs for each gun, and
one relief would represent. on Gen. ScHo-
FIELDS basis, 1880 men, 1t 10 further

Nothing but defeat In the field can over

nor can the attempt to substitute ~restora.

The prosecution of the war on more hui.

Spanish Exits from America.

The story of Spanish domination on the
American continent is a long and lugubri-
Gus chronicle OF folly, failure, and loss. 1t
is one of the marvels of modern history that
within three hundred years one of the most
magnificent empires upon which the sun
ever shone has been crumbled by ignorance
and purblind stupidity until it's insignif-
can't remainder no longer challenges the
respect of any civilized nation.
Consider, for example, the v~astness of the
disaster entailed upon Spain by the loss of
the viceregal province once known as New
Spain. In that geographical expression
was included, in addition to the present
republic of Mexico, Guatemala on the
south, and on the north all that region
which lies between the Red River,
the Arkansas, and the Pacific, and ex.
tending as farnorth as the present northern
boundary of the United States, leaving
Alaska out of the account. All this prodi.
gious territorial area passed almost in a
day from under the way of Spain. The
and ~fatuousness which has been
an unfailing characteristic of the policy of
Spain from the earliest times to the pres
ent day, the policy that has made inevita-
e NAh56tS " ltuCtty III SuDd,
ruthlessly sacrificed the colossal domain of
New Spain.
During the viceregal period the policy of
the homo Government toward Mexico, or
New Spain, instead of being sagaciously
concillatory, was harsh, repressive, and re-
strictive. Wise Governments nave usually
sought to win colonists and conquered peo-
pies by affable and generous measures.
They have respected the rights, the ma
tlonal pride, and the traditions of those
whom they have ruled with the velvet
gloved hand of steel. Not 80 arrogant and
oullheaded Spain. AS elsewhere, the policy
OF Spain In America has been designed to
close its colonies and conquered provinces
to the of all nations but
the Spanish to obliterate every trace
OF native tradition and native Gus
tom; to harass the people with enor-
nous taxation; to contrive all taxes 40
that they should appear repulsive and
odious. as well as burdensome; and to or
ganize society SO that the pure blooded Cas-
lillian should be regarded As the only repre-
sentative Of the ruling class, and all others,
natives, half-castes, and c~reoles, should be
spat upon and treated with every possible
indignity n form of contempt. The
Spanish-born hidalgo was exalted as u being
OF a superior race; he was the lord OF the
land the others, of whatever race or ma
tionality, were as the dust beneath his feet.
And this was the result of the deliberate
policy of Spain in America, as we'll as the
natural fruit of the conceit and
OF the Spanish character.
The colonists of New Spain had no share
in the making or the execution of the com.
plicated and undigested mass OF laws un-
der which they lived. 1t was apparently
then the policy Of the mother coun.
