New York (jfy's NIil,t1iO

Apropos of the proposition of some of the
inhabitants of what is soon to be the
Greater New York that that territory
should be separated from the rest Of the
state and made into independent COM
ronw-aIth. it is recalled that during the
early days of the civil war a strong sen
tim ment existed in New York city antag
Cnistic to the continuation of hostilities.
Fernando Wood then mayor of the
city and early in the controversy he adj
vanced the suggestion that New York Sc
cede fr6m the Union and become a free
city. This meant. Of course. its separation
from the state. The idea was never SUBJ
mitted to a vote and indeed came to no
point beyond great amount of discussion
pro and con- So far as the separation of
the urban from the rural elements is con-
cerred. this scheme identical with that
OF today. save that now the city of Brook
lyn and other adjoining communities are
included in the plan of partition. New York
could hardly have become a free city in
1851 without d struggle. probably sangui-
nary and certainly destructive of vast
prof critics. for tie government would un-
que 'tiCnably have resisted such move
ment quite vigorously as it fought the
effort OF the southern states TO withdraw
from the Union. Today. of course, there IS
no question Of leaving the Union and the
main opposition 20 the formation of the
state of Manhattan will probably be found
among the people of the remainder of the
state OF New York 1t Is interesting to
recall. too. that only a few months ago a
similar proposition made by certain
residents of Chicago. where the conditions
as regards taxation, representation and
legislation and the relations to the state
are somewhat similar to those in New
York But thus far nothing definite has
come OF the plan The prevailing opinion

IN favor of consolidation of small COM
mOHwealths into larger and stronger or

law. They succeeded for q time. but when
the storm at last broke the result was
something terrible in human annals. Mr..
Lincoln's words were prophetic, for the
war did last until every drop of blood
drawn with the lash'' was paid by
another drawn with the sword"
The Turk has no business in Europe. He
ought long since to have been driven out.
He is not only not in sympathy with Euro
pean civilization. but his religion teaches
him actually to despise it. And yet the
great powers of Europe not only tolerate
him, but support him-encourage him to
keep his place Their day of reckoning
will come. They are merely postponing--
ard maybe not for very long-the day when
he can no longer he supported; and they
will be fortunate If in that day all of their
present maneuvers do not rise up in bloody
form to harry them.
But come what may. Greece will have
done her duty. She has pointed. as with a
wand of white fire. to both the abuses and
the remedy. She has. so far. the right of
the whole matter. Her stand is as fine as
that any nation in modern times has taken
for civilization and justice. If the figure
of speech is applicable to a country with
such name. she's a brick.

The MgSSu Ee,

The Star suggested only a few days be-
fore Mr.. Mckinley left Canton thai his
first messa ge to Congress might prove to
he a one-topic document, dealing exclu-
sively with the alHstion of revenue. Such
turns out to he the case. The question is
presented briefly hut cOgently- more di-
rect or business-like paper has rarely been
issued from the white House. The Presi-
dent does rot cirque his case at any length,
or lecture moralize over it. The propo-
Sition. he sees it. is very simple. and
does not carry the necessity for long
windeincss or elaboration.
There Is a very general agreement that the
government must have more revenue. and
the republican party entered last years bat
tie on a plan it put forward for raising that
revenue. The President advocates that
plan. and Congress may be expected to
folI6 " his suggestion In fact. the Dingley
bill. which has been promptly introduced,
is distinctly a protection measure, and both
redeems the tariff plank of the st. Louis
platform and meets the ends of the Presi-
dents deliverance- 1t may be changed in
some particulars during its passage through
Congress. but nothing would appear to be
more certain than that when it finally
emerges from the ordeal it will be found to
lie a measure satisfactory TO the advocates
OF a protective tariff And. as such, it will
go into ops tion. and become the test of
the wisdom. or lack of wisdom. displayed
by the country in recalling the republican
party to power.
The President believes that the sale of
bonds by the Cleveland administration is
traceable directly to the failure of the VIII
son tariff bill The gold reserve was never
in any peril until the revenues of the gov
ernment began to fall far short of the gov
ernment's support

There is ample authority for the sugses-
ton made by The Star the other day that
the herdic company doing business here be
compelled to pay a part. AT least. of the

coaches traverse in regular routes. In 1888
Captain Symons. then on duty here as
assistant to the Engineer Commissioner
called attention in his annual report to the
