His Distinction.
From the Springfield Republican.

fIom the Sprlhsheid HepuDl1can-
The Tammany nomination for mayor of
New York is that of man who would I'M
&c ubtediy prove a pliable creature in the
hands of Croker and Sheehan. Robert A.
Van Wyck has social standing, for his fam
lily have lived in New York for two Gen.
turtles, and in this respect he is a man
whom the Tammany leaders would nat
urally seek In order to give social eclat to
their ticket. He became a city Justice
through the favor of Tammany in 1899 and
Is now presiding justice Of the city court.
His personal character may be of the high
est, yet no other of the candidates for the
mayoralty has ever been arrested ''for
drunk and disorderly conduct" For jan
uary y, 1890. the blotter of the 18th street
police station has this entry:
Robert A. Van Wyck, judge, forty-two
years old, arrested for drunk and disor-
derly conduct at am. today on complaint
of Frank Flyrn of No. 81 East 18th street"
The judge had been to the notorious
French balf' that evening, where he was
arrested He was released the next morn
ing by Justice Andy White, and he claimed
that the arrest was wholly unjustifiable
But there is the record-French ball and
the item on the blotter. At any rate, how
eminently fitted is Robert A. Van Wyck to
be the first mayor of Greater New York;
ard he may be, thanks to Svengalf.

The ANGER. Methoa.

The Ameer of Afghanistan is somewhat
of politician himself. There seem to be
points about his makeup as a diplomatic
manipulation of raen and events that would
be profitable subjects of study by Mr.
Richard Croker, Senator Plat and some
others among this country's leading lights
In the political arena. The Ameer Is lust
how between two fires. His subjects are
eager for the proclamation Of Holy War
against the English occupants of India,
while International policy strongly de-
mands neutral position at present. The
Ameer has for some months been reassur-
ing England Of his pacific, friendly inten-
lions. but his people have been somehow
managing to receive encouragement enough
to warrant them In fomenting religious
frenzy among the tribesmen OF the hills
and England has been put to no end Of
trouble In consequence. The news now
comes that the Ameer has just issued a
proclamation. Declaring Holy War?
Not at all The Ameer knows net..r than
that Instead he announces that the COW
eminent win impose a fine Of Ave thousand
rupees upon any subject who leaves the
realm to participate in ..the Holy War now
in progress" Thus. as the matter now an

Wire Legislation Needed.

Capt Burr's remarks about the wires
now strung overhead in this city, in the
course OF his annual report as assistant
engineer Commissioner of the District, are
timely and to the point. He puts the mat
ter briefly thus:
General and systematic legislation upon
the subject of the removal of overhead
wires and the provision of underground
condu1ts Tor their receotion should be re-
quested of Congress at it's next session.
The existing conditions are recognized by
all interested parties as but temporary.
They are restrictive of growth in many
directions in which electric light and power
facilities should be extended, and make no
provision at all for the removal OF existing
unsightly and obstructive masses of over
head wires"
This Is an everlastig question in it's pres
ent phase 1t arises at every session to
perplex the legislators and to revive the
hopes of the citizens that perhaps some
solution will be reached in the form of a
definite arrangement based upon a statute
that will bury every electric conductor
within the city and within part of the Dis
trict beyond the city limits. Many ele-
ments enter into the case to complicate
it. notably the rivalry between the electric
power-producing concerns, and this private
quarrel is allowed to tie the hands of the
Commissioners and to degree Of the Dis
trict committeeman in the two houses who
are anxious to rid the city of these dis
figuring and dangerous encumbrances. A
solution would be easy to reach If the in
terests of the city alone were considered
as the moving factor. Capt. Burr's recon-
mendation should he literally followed.

From the Chicago Record
No proposition that has come before the
people Of late years has received such gem
eral and hearty approval from the press of
the entire country as the plan for the es-
tablishment Of postal savings banks Not
only do the big dailies of the cities as a
rule approve of the agitation, but the news
papers in the smaller towns almost without
exception commend the movement
Whlle the comments in the newspapers of
the north and west are most numerous.
which is perhaps natural, inasmuch az the
center of the agitation is in Chicago. the
press of the east and south is by no means
backward In supporting the agitation. Oc-
casionally an old-time democratic paper of
the south opposes the plan on the ground
that 1t is not the function of the govern
ment to do anything more than collect the
revenues and protect life and property
THESE are the extreme representatives of
the school which holds that that eoyern-
ment Is best which governs least. But for
the most part the papers Of the south sup
port the movement for postal banks, and
call attention to the especial need for them
in that section of the country, where hanks
OF all kinds are scarce and where places of
safe deposit for small savings are very far
apart.
In examining the many hundreds of ex-
changes that come into great newspaper
office from all parts of the country one can
not but be impressed with the attention
given to the subject of postal banks and the
generally favorable comment. This discuss
sion OF the subject In the press OF the whole
country must have the effect Of preparing
the minds of congressman for speedy action
as soon as they shall meet again In WASH
ingt0n. The unantmity Of the press Is q
sure indication that the people desire the
establishment or postal savings banks.

The Power House Site.

The citizens of Washington are proud of
the broad avenue that extends between the
Capitol and the group of government struc-
tues around the Executive Mansion. They
have long hoped for the contamination of
the project for the dedication of the south
side of this fine street to national purposes,
and were gratihed when the city post
office was located in a commanding position
on that area. The character of the avenue,
its associations and it's surroundings all
contribute to make it advisable that only
the best specimens of architecture be
erected upon it, and with this in mind it is
now the general hope that if the Capital
Traction Company should decide to ADAM
don the site of its lately burned power
house. as a result of a change of motive
power. the ground will be taken by some
purchaser with sufficient means to cause
the erection of such a building as the site
and its environments demand. The govern
nent is pre-eminently capable of ensuring
such result. especially now that the
Treasury Department is taking steps to
better the quality of it's constructions. But
whether the government or any other
wealthy purchaser should appear the de-
sire of the citizens is that the site may be
improved according to its requirements
1t is plain that if the land is permitted to
go to number of individual owners it will
revert to much the same condition as that
which prevailed beforN it was acquired by
the traction company and developed by the
corporation, in accordance with its enter
frising and public-spirited policy. How
ever handsome the single structures erected
by such owners may be, the general effect
will not accord with the demands of the
situation for broad treatment, such as
would be ensured by the governments en-
terprise or that of some such purchaser
as the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
which is now suggested as possible buyer
of the ground But whatever may be the
fate of the ground, whether it is taken by
the nation. by some large private corpora
ton. or built upon anew by it's present own
ers, it IS the general wish of the citizens
of the capital that so conspicuous site
should be ultimately improved in the line
of the character of the street on which it
practically fronts and of the general archi-
tectural tendency of the city with respect
TO its large buildings. Whatever is done
should be on the basis of the new Wash
ington. which sets high standard and will
be satisfied with no abatement.

Where Mr.. Bryan stands.

Those democrats in New York who are
outspoken in their continued allegiance to
the Chicago platform, and who are openly
conderuning Tammany's attempt to avoid
the silver issue in the local campaign. have
warrant for their attitude. That is to say.
they have their national leader behind
them. Colonel William L. Brown may con-
tinue to keep Mr.. Bryan's letter to him on
the subject of Tannmany's duty in his
pocket. but that will not hide Mr.. Bryan's
real sentiments. They crop out from other
quarters, and have just cropped out from a
quarter from which they may be applied
directly to New York.
The Massachusetts democrats are men
after Mr.. Bryans own heart. Although
they executed so sudden right-about-face
last year on the silver question, now that
they are facing toward silver they are
proud of their position. They resort to no
chicanery concealment. but still declare
for silver. straight up and down. That
pleases Mr.. Bryan. and he telegraphs his
served. and was worthy of leader who is
himself outspoken.
A difference may be drawn of course
between the situation in Massachusetts and
that in New York. The democrats in the
one state have no show whatever. They
are marching to certain and Overwhelming
defeat Tammany has a chance to win. In
fact, if the opponents of the tiger do not
get together. bad Tammany's record is,
and great as the stake is to those who
value good government for Greater New
York, Tammany is likely to win.
But this is not a distinction that Mr..
Bryan can afford to draw. He stands for
definite policy, having relation to the whole
country. and to every part of the country.
Nebraska and Massachusetts,, New York
and Iowa, Maine and Texas, all alike are
interested, this year the same as last year,
ard will continue to be alike interested
while Mr.. Bryan remains the democratic
national leader. His hold upon the loyalty
OF democrats, as well as upon the personal
respect of the men who oppose him. is
founded in his frankness and sincerity. He
would dethrone himself at once if he were
to undertake to monkey with the silver
issue. Tammany monkeys with it. Tam
many monkeys with the Ten Command
ments. But MIR. Bryan rebukes Tammany
through his congratulations to the demo-
Gratis of Massachusetts.

The Ohio Senatorship,

Report is busy again with John r. Nc
Leans candidacy for the United States
Senate. Again it is asserted that he will
oot stand for the Office. and again the story
IS denied Mr.. Mclean has never formally
announced himself for the place. but opin-
ion has been general that he desired it. ard
that his object in going to Ohio and giving
per-onai attention to the campaign was to
forward that ambition. The only an
nouneed candidate Is ex-Congressman A.
j. Warner. prominent In the Bimetailic
League. But General Warner, although a
man OF ability and earnestness, has hardly

stormy time since his appearance on the
scene In Ohio. He is an aggressive man,
and has long been prominent in the politics
of the state. Even while residing in Wash

mittee is under his influence.
Naturally, therefore. Mr.. McLean's figure
looms large on the buckeye horizon. As
the head of his party, as man Of known
ambition and large means. it Is easy to
He will probably continue, too. to be con-
sidered a senatorial candidate, notwith-
standing the stories that he has no inten-
ton of entering the race. The legislative
candidates are all in the field, many of
the democrats are known TO favor Mr..
Mclean for the Senate, and nothing would
appear to be more probable than that in
the event of democratic success at the
polls Mr.. Mclean, by reason of his promi-
ncnce and power, will be found striving
for the prize.
The case is somewhat similar to that Of
Mr. German in Maryland. An effort Is
made to induce anti-Gorman democrats to
support silver candidates for the legisla-
ture upon the assurance that Mr.. Cor
man will not enter the senatorial race.
But those for whom the assurance Is in
tended refuse to accept the statement.
The same play may have no better success
in Ohio. Mr.. Mclean is so easily the lead
ing democratic figure in the Ohio cam
paisn that those democrats who oppose
him are not likely to be caught by an eff
fort to throw doubt on His senatorial aspi-
rations

Municipal Ownership ms an Issue

Municipal ownership of street railway
franchises promises to be a most important
factor in the mayoralty campaign in
Greater New York this year. The repub:i-
cans. the Citizens Union independents,
the Henry Georgites and the straight dem
ocrats have all expressed themselves more
or less guardedly upon the subject, the
platform of each tending toward this end.
There may be questions raised as to the
sincerity of some of these protestations,
but it is significant that there should be a
practically unanimous call for the future
regulation of public franchises in such
manner that the municipality will secure
greater benefits than heretofore. Tam
ntany's case is peculiar in this regard. 1t
endorses the municipal ownership of fran
chises to placate the followers of Henry
George, who represents this idea squarely.
At the same time Tammany refraincd from
endorsing the free silver plank of the Chi
cago platform, as that course would almost
surely ALLEVIATE the men of great wealth to
whom the organization now looks for it's
campaign fund. Some of these men are
deeply interested in street railway opera
tions in the city and expect many addi-
tiGnal favors from the new city govern
ment. Most of the original franchises are
now secured but there are certain extern
sions to be made, valuable privileges to be
gained and other favors that would be well
worth the investment of a good round sum
in the campaign fund. But these projects
are all antagonistic both to municipal
ownership and to any degree of SUPER
vision over the franchises, whether limit
ing their life or requiring moderate re-
turn to the city from the earnings of the
companies Tammany is thus confronted
with the delicate task of proving that it is
not fooling one or the other of the factions
that it is seeking to charm into voting the
straight ticket-the municipal ownership
people, who form large and growing
class of citizens. and the capitalists whose
material interests are vitality opposed to
such propaganda
