The Loyal and the Disloyal.

The Republican party in the Greater New
York is now more aroused than at any
time before since the war, with the single
exception Of last year. The resentment
provoked by the assault on BLAINE in 1854
affords the nearest parallel to it.
This feeling is manifested in a stream
of voluntary expressions coming to THE
SUN daily, and Republicans throughout
the Union send to US letters animated with
q deep sympathetic feeling.
The few Republicans of any prominence
who were seduced into the Low enterprise
and who still remain in it under the pres
sure of pride of opinion or the influence Of
private associations and interests are max
ing for themselves n record, of which they
will rNt be proud after the election is over
and they discover that they sacrificed their
birthright for a mess of pottage.
What excuse can such Republicans make,
either as partisans or as citizens devoted to
good government They will have de.
serted their party at a momentous election,
when it commanded their loyalty as Re.
publicans and their support as patriots
by standing honestly and boldly for
s~alutary principles in the face of op-
posing, couniving, and conspiring eva
sion and cowardice, and putting before
the people a ticket for election which rep
rcsents in it's constitution the best ability
of the party and the highest type of citi-
zenship.
The dcscrtcrs will be few, but all the
more for that reason will they have a SIMS
ter distinction.

Men and Boys.

This is a democratic country, habituated
to party government and to rotation in
office, but none the less alert to the fact that
government is lone better by men who have
given some study to it than by hot-headed
boys possessed of ambition only.
The Republican party, organized for more
than forty years and recently successful in
one of the most trying and important cam.
paigns ever known in America, has nomi.
mated a man of distinguished public ser.
vice, noted for his ability and respected for
his character, to lead the customary party
fight in the election for Mayor Of New York.
The Importance of the contest is every.
where recognized, and the veterans OF con.
scrvativc politics in every State of the
Union look upon the New York Republican
ticket with unqualified approval and ear.
nest hope for it's success.
Against this admirable movement a
small company of citizens, mainly anna
teurs and boys in politics, never organized
before and probably not to be organized
again. headed by a sophomore vain of
himself and slanderous of his rival, starts
out to take charge Of the politics of one of
the most important political centres in the
United States and to grasp the fruits Of
Republican ~ascendancy.
Intelligent Judgment ~pronouncing OF the
leaders OF these two movements, TRACY
and Low, will decide for TRACY without a
moments hesitation.

Arms for the Philippines.

The protest which the Spanish Minister
at Toxic has made against the shipment of
arms from Yokohama to aid the rebels in
the Philippine Islands forms n suggestive
comment on the notion lately put forth that
Spain and Japan might form an alliance
against the United States.
The two countries really have very little
in common and, on the other hand, as we
now see, they have n possible source of
serious disscnsion, exactly like that which
might arise between the United States and
Spain. The Philippines lie a short dis
tance south of Formosa, just as Cuba
lies relatively to our own shores. In
those islands, as in Cuba, a revolt against
Spanish rule has been going on a long time,
and Spain now charges that ii derives some
Of its potency from the arms and munitions
furnished by Japan, Just as she accuses us
of allowing such military appliances to go
to Cuba.
The reply OF Japan may perhaps be like
ours. namely, that the shipment of arms
and munitions, under such circumstances,
Is legitimate trade, the remedy of Spain
being to intercept their delivery in her
waters by her own coast guard authorities
and cruisers. That Japan would neglect
her obligations under international law
by permitting hostile expeditions. which
are m entirely different matter from arms
shipped in the ordinary course of trade, to
leave her shores, through lack of due dill
gence, is something that we are not pre-.
pared to believe. creXccution of neutral
ity laws would presumably be faithful, as
our own has always hcen.
But the point for the moment is the sug-
gcstion thus furnished that Spain and Japan
may ave more to keep them from join
ing in alliance against the United States
than for undertaking such an alliance.
Even II Spain should seek it. Japan. a rising

The Progress of Confscation.

In the North american Rerier of July,
1881. will be found an article by HENRY
GEORGE, from which this extract is taken ::
ave may tax land values as much as we please,
without in the slightest degree lcssenins the amount
ofland. or the capabilities OF land. or the inducement
20 use land. We might take the whole value OF land
In taxation. so as to make the ownership Of land
worth nothing. and the land would still remain. and
be As useful as before"
Mr.. GEORGE holds the same views to-day
as he held sixteen years ago, but there is n
wide difference between his position then
and at the present time. At that early
date his radical theories on the contiscation
of land values, that is. the destruction of
all property in land. had not been accepted
by even a moderate number of believers,
and it took four years 10 build up the fol.
lowing of labor agitators who made him
their candidate for Mayor in 1856. Beaten
then. he is again a candidate for the chief
maGistracy Of the same city, with Brook.
Ign and a vastly increased territorial area
added to it. Then, too, the chances of his
success are far greater now than they were
eleven years ago, for in the candidature of
SETH Low he has an avowed and most
loyal ally, who, conscious of his own de.
feat, will fight to the last in the hope OF
giving victory to the foremost revolution
airy leader on this continent.
HENRY GEORGE, in the long campaign he
has conducted for his abhorrent principles,
forcibly illustrates the truth OF a passage
In the writings of EDMUND BURKE on the
French Revolution. Unity in design"
says the most philosophic statesman Eng.
and ever had, "and perseverance and bold.
ness in pursuit, have never wanted re.
sources and never will" BURKE was re-
ferring to the Jacobin party and their
allies. Next to his own socialistic legion
aries, the very greatest resource which
GEORGE has found in his second assault on
the government of the metropolis is the
President of Columbia University. In
France there were combinations of a SINH
lar character in BrRkE's time exactly one
hundred years age, and in his second letter
on a regicide peace" he warned the British
Ministry Of the day to reflect and reflect
again and again, on a government in which
the property is in complete subsection,
and where nothing rules but the minds of
desperate men" That is the condition
GEORGE aim at and. with the aid of SETH
Low, hopes to bring about. In France it
became in the processes of its evolution
the "cannibal republic as BURKE so tltly
characterized it, with 1.-THE assignats as
tickets of despotism."
The progress of HENRY GEORGE in his
policy Of contscation is ominously marked.
He long ago dropped the we might make
the ownership of land worth nothing and
now, with Low as his ally, defiantly de
clares that I'VE shall" do it.
a vote for either of them will be a vote
in the direction of the old cannibal repub-
lie of France.

The Low movement reached its full tide
two weeks ago, and has been ebbing steadily
ever since. Its progress was greatest in
Brooklyn, and Mt one time 1t seemed to
have gathered a force there which threat
cncd serious trouble for the Republican
party but it was soon demonstrated that
its driving power consisted rather in sur
face enthusiasm in a few spots thar any
deep and pcrvasive conviction. 1t Is now
petcring out in Brooklyn unquestionably.
In both New York and Brooklyn Lows
following, manifcstly, will be confined to
the Mugwumps, who will all vote for him as
their typical hero, and as natural and ma.
lignant enemies of the Republican party,
some Cleveland Democrats, and a small
and rapidly diminishing number of treach.
erous Republicans.
There is in it no idea to give it vigorous
vitality. Low has put into it no intel.
lcctual force. His personality is not at
~tractivc to a cosmopolitan community such
as New York has become. 1t is too pro-
v%incial, too artificial.
Whatever there is in the Low movement
representative of any broad popular senti-
ment of resistance to political organiza-
tion is expressed far more forcibly and
completely by HENRY GEORGE. He appeals
to social discomfort, and to the spirit which
chafes under the organized restraint that
makes so directly and powerfully for con-
servatism. He is likely to poll twice or
thrice as many votes as Low.
The Low canvass is proceeding without
any backing of solid argument on the
stump or in the newspapers giving it a
rather childish and somewhat hysterical
support. 1t lacks dignity and produces no
serious conviction.
We expect, therefore, to see Low occupy.
ing q place in the poll next above the So
~cialists and PATRICK GLEASON, and no
higher. He and his stump advocates and
journalistic adulators are wasting their
efforts. He is no longer an important fac.
tor in the canvass. He will probably fall
short OF election by at least one hundred
thousand votes.
Meantime Gen. TRACY is gaining hour by
hour. The Low attempt to divide the Re-
publican vote has aroused a spirit of party
loyalty which burns with hot resentment.
AS the prospect of Gen. TRACY's election
grows brighter the whole conservative
force of the community turns to him as it's
strongest champion against dangerous
political theories and social elements.

More Gunners Needed for the Forts.

The suggestion that some of the infantry
regiments should be turned into heavy ar.
tillery in order to get the needed garrisons
for the coast forts, strikes us as very unwise.
We already have too little infantry, and as
soon as the proposed transfer had been IF.
fected, there would, very likely, be a call
for more Of that arm. In that case a great
injustice would nave been done TO the ar.
tiliery by depriving it of it's long-desired
opportunity to build itself up by the pro.
motion OF its own officers.
From various causes, including some pe-
culiaritieS Of its organization, promotion
has long been much slower in the artillery
than in either of the other two arms. 1t is
the place to look for gray.haired I.ieutcn-
ants, and one of these has been thirt -four
years in the service without vet reaching
the grade of Captain. \ high authority
puts at nearly eight years the additional
average length Of service of the five
Colonies commanding artillery regiments
over the five senior infantry Colonies, before
reaching, respectively, that grade. This
tells the story also for lower grades.
Since, too, a moderate increase of the
army Is now absolutely required, it would
he most unwise not to secure. in charging
the artillery, the services of officers who
have made a lifelong study Of that arm,
instead OF transferring to il those officers
whose experience and study have been very
largely devoted to the infantry.
But perhaps the greatest objection TO the
plan suggested to Secretary ALGER is that
1t would spoil the most favorable oppor.
tunity presented in years for securing the
urgently needed increase in the military
establishment. The navy has been splcn.
didly built up in the last dozen years. and
all the various civil departments of the
Government have been made adequate to
the needs of a great and growing people.
For the last twenty years, however, the
army has remained nearly the same in
its authorized enlisted strength, while the
population and resources OF the country
have grown enormously. Now additional
artillery regiments are urgently needed for
'ths nav coast defences. II they call for q
