LONDON. January 1.-THE Globe this

Great Britain's experience in arbitration

last even as long as Dec. 81. Unless all the

The persistent efforts of a Republican
ooterie in this city to break up the Republic
can party only one year after Its triumph
In the city, State, and Union constitute an
example of political perversity Of which we
can recall no parallel in the history Of our
politics.
These men declare openly that their pur-
pose is to bring about Republican defeat In
this State next year, when a Governor, the
Legislature, and Congressman are to be
elected. The disastrous consequences which
the success of such a conspiracy would bring
to the Republican party in the Federal cleo
tton of 1900 do not at all deter them
from their malignant determination.
That general overthrow is exactly the
and they are striving for. They are work.
ing deliberately for the election of a Demo-
cratic Congress in 1895 and q Democratic
President in 1900.
This they are doing, while still pretend.
ing to sustain the Republican policy In the
State and the Union. They are impelled
amply by a spirit Of vindictiveness because
they are not In control of the machinery Of
the party. No question OF principle is In
volved. 1t Is solely a personal matter. How
ever good the nominations of next year may
be, they will try to defeat them by the same
triokery they used against the irreproach.
able State and municipal ticket at the late
election.
The chief of these malignant spirits Is
WHITELAw REID. he 10 seeking revenge
for disappointed vanity, and from such a
nature nothing that Is otherwise than igno-
bic can be expected. But there are Re-
publicans Of loftier impulses who were
tempted into the ~disorganizing Low move
ment. Are they willing to further this
~treacherous intrigue for the destruction of
their party7
These honest men must soon learn, ever
II they do not know already, that all efforts
and overtures of the Republican organiza-
tion to restore harmony, no matter how
far they may go. will be resisted by the
malignant malcontents. The destructive
faction are determined to prevent harmony
ut any cost. Unity of feeling would defeat
their purpose irreconcilable discord Is es.
sential to their success.
1t is the basest treachery in the history of
American politics; so base that it must de.
feat itself. The time must come when no
honorable man will allow his reputation to
b. tarnishedb by completely in an obviously
malignant combination to assassinate the
Republican party at this crisis in national
politics.

Eleventh Hour Activity.

Office. In these last days there has been an
abrupt and apparently spontaneous demon.

partments. The Dock Commissioners. for
example, have discovered within o few
hours Of their departure from public Office,
the urgent need of what they call "a COM
prehensive improvement" of the East River
water front from Market street to Ninety
second street.
The reform Police Commissioners, whose
successors will be appointed within q week,
have been discussing with great fervor and
animation the matter of new uniforms for
policemen, and they have only been de-

opinion among the members of the board.
Nor are the three Fire Commissioners In

year OF their power any less active on
that account in the tardy consideration of
matters of public Importance. The Presi-
dent of the present board, In a commune
cation to Mayor STRONG, comes forward
with a well-defined, infinitely detailed and
pervasive project for the extensive use of
salt river water from neighboring streams,
to be brought into town by mains and con-
Quits, despite the severity of the weather
and the impracticability of prosecuting a
mammoth public work. without funds or
