judge Miller.

The death of Judge Thomas F. Miller is
Cause for genuine regret among the cit
liens of the District. He had practically
SPENT his life here. having been admitted
TO the bar of the District while a young
man His service of nine years on the
police bench brought him prominently be-
fore the community in d most trying ca
pacity. and his reappointment at the
practically unanimous request of the BUSH
ness interests of the city demonstrated
both his popularity and his success in ad-
n mastering the law. His judgments. from
the bench were unusually equitable and
well calculated to advance the cause of law
and order in the District Mercy for the
unfortunate often tempered the punish
ments meted out by him, but he kept his
sympathies Well in check when the inter-
ests of the community were at stake and
when severity was demanded. Personally a
man of genial manners and social tempera-
ment he was at the same time well-read
lawyer. and his judgments were based upon
a thorough acquaintance with the statutes
and judicial procedure. 1t will be difficult
for the President to fill his place, even with
the number of good names now before him,
with a man who will give such general sat
fsfaction as did Judge Miller.

The Glea.opian E-a E,Aea.

Patrick Gleason, Of Long Island City, en-
tered the Greater New York campaign on
a simple platform. Neither Tea nor Tiger
was his watchword, his battle cry. 1t rep
resented his declaration of principles as
clearly as any polite words could possibly
embody the Gleasonian ideals. Tea stands
for reform in the mind Of the Glea-
sentes. Mayor Strong is a tea drinker.
Hence the application. The Tiger, In the
eye Of the Gleasonian democracy, stands
for a bigger machine than that of the Hon.
orable Patrick. Neither Tea nor Tiger"
therefore. was an outcry against both re-
putable government and too much bossism
The voters, however, cared not for this
combination. bare thousand of. the half
million citizens who yesterday indicated
their preferences in the big city cross
marked the battle-axe emblem Of the Gleas-
cnite ticket. The elements of farce-comedy
are all present in this unique campaign and
its results. Gleason is essentially politi-
cal comedian, whether he Is engaged in
chopping down the property of offending
corporations or addressing a crowd of SPELL
bound hoodlums from the tail of a truck
1t was a pretty serious fight that was
waged in the metropolis yesterday but it
had Its jocular side and the GIeasonian
canvass is spread all over that SIDE New
York has declared that it wants both tea
and tiger, II its answer to Gleason's invita-
ton to support him is to be taken as a
guide.

Mr.. TaylOr's Admirable PAPER.

Hannis Taylor, our ex-minister to SPAIN
has contributed to the current number of
the North American Review a most in
structive paper on the subject of Cuba
1t is full of information obtained under
the exceptional advantages of his four
years residence at Madrid, and is replete
with reasoning Of irresistible strength and
cogency. 1t deserves to rank, indeed
among the most important contributions
to the subject; and that it will receive
well merited attention when Congress
meets and the Cuban question comes up
for debate in that body is certain.
These views of Mr.. Taylor Will have all
the greater force by reason of the fact that
they come In the nature of surprise. He
could not speak to the general public while
he was in office. and. therefore, it was as
sumed. when his position was considered
at all. that he was. as the minister appoint
ed by Mr.. Cleveland, in sympathy with
Spain in the matter. The very opposite
proves to be the case. No man has spoken
for Cuba with more earnestness or intelh-
gence than he now does. or has shown
more clearly and convincingly Spain's utter
incapacity and indisposition to deal justly
by her colony. Upon Mr.. Taylor's paper
alone, indeed. could safely be based not
States to take such action as to secure for
Cuba the peace which the island so richly
deserves.
Mr.. Taylor holds: % That Spain does not
enjoy real parliamentary government her
self, and therefore would be unable, if she
sincerely desired, to grant such government
to Cuba. (2) That. despite the talk about
autonomy for Cuba, Spain has only the
Spanish idea of colony-"a place to be
plundered and enslaved." C8) That the time
has come-came, indeed, sometime ago-for
the United States, in the interests of hu-
mainly. in the interests of commerce. by
the application of liberal reading of the
Monroe doctrine, to interfere and stop the
war. az That Congress by joint resolution
approved by the President should state the
case plainly to Spain, and intimate the pur-
pose of the United States Ito take such
other or further action in the premises as
may be made necessary by future events"
MIR. Taylor gives his readers estimates of
the leading figures in the drama, Canovas
Sagasta, Campos and Others and confirms
without hesitation the stories of the detes-
tatiop in which General Weyler is held in
certain circles in Spain. and why.
When one considers that Mr.. Taylor was
at Madrid and General Lee at Havana, the
attitude of Mr.. Cleveland and Mr. Olney,
which was pro-Spanish to the point of al
most slavish subserviency. becomes more
than ever profound mystery.

Greater New York. Object Lesson

Tammany wins in Greater New York
This result, SO full Of meaning to the bust
ness interests of the enlarged metropolis
is to be attributed to a combination of mis-
management. obstinacy. perversity and
folly on the part of the elements that are
normally opposed to the rule Of the Tiger
The accident of the death of Henry George
on the eve of election contributed doubt
less in a large measure to the success of
the Tammany ticket but even with Henry
George alive the outcome of the canvass
would probably have been the same, in
view of the rivalry between the factions
whose real interests called them to unite in
a harmonious assault against the party Of
municipal corruption and blackmail
In their fairly complete state today. the
returns from the city show that a combina-
ton of the votes of Tracy and Low would
have given union candidate at least
twenty thousand plurality over Van WICK.
Seth Lows vote was much larger than that
cast for Tracy 1t is questionable. of
course. how much of the vote that would
have been cast for the singIe-taxer, had he
lived. went TO Low. and how much drif,e5

of IL went to Tracy. and the mos, likely

was cast for Van Wyck. with Low receiy-
ing large part of the remainder. while

their ballots through inadvertant misuse of
the pastors.
Thus II Is fair to assume that had George
lived and had there been no secret deals be-
tween Tamrlany and the machine republi-
cans. the combined votes of Low ard Tracy
would have outnumbered that cast for Van
Wyck by many more than 1000. 1t is
clear In any event that Tammany could
easily have been beaten had the natural
enemies of that organization allied them
selves with a truly 'unifying force" at

their head. But they refused, declined or
neglected to do so. and their action may be
variously construed. To those far apart
from the heat of the battle and the preju-
dices that animated these factional ele-
ments even to the point Of bitter hatred.
1t appears that the blame for the result is
to be laid at the doors Of both sides. In the
beginning a petition was circulated and
signed by many thousands Of names, pray
ing Seth Low to stand as the candidate of
the citizens for the mayoralty.
This petition might readily have been
shrewdly used to compel the republicans to
nominate Low and thus to make him the
'unifying force that he believed himself
to be. But his campaigners blundered at
this critical juncture. The situation re-
quired delicate treatment. In its stead the
most injudicious methods were employed.
Low was named prematurely, the repub-
hcan machine, so essential to success vas
defied and the Citizens Union started on a
campaign that without help from veteran
organizers and party votes meant only de-
feat.
At the same time the machine leaders,
the partisans, acted stubbornly refusing
to make overtures, to accept suggestions,
and to seek harmony with their natural
ally. Platt preferred Tammany's success to
the victory Of non-partisan mayor whom
he could not control. Pride, obstinacy and
a false sense of security in the light of
the growing revolt from Tammany con-
tributed to widen the breach between the
citizens movement and the republican ma
chine The fight degenerated into family
row. with men who should have been
united by their business interests, moral
preferences and political tendencies, strug-
Cling to cast the most vitupe-a.ive cpl
thets and to expose their fractional OPP
ponents to public scorn and ridicule.
Thus blame attaches to both sides of this
sQuabble, but bears most heavily upon
Platt, who after the first stage of the con-
troversy bears full responsibility as the di-
rect and deliberate ally of Tammany. Tam
many has returned to power for long
term with more ability to corrupt the local
administration than ever before, with
great fortune In public funds at it's hand
and without an obstacle to a revival of the
methods of administration that
were uncovered by the recent reform move
ment now so disastrously terminated. Four
years must elapse under the new charter
Of the municipality before the citizens will
have a chance to GUST Tammany from this
comfortable berth. 1t is to be hoped that
the lesson so plainly taught by the cam
paign just closed will have been learned
by the an i-Tammany voters in the mean
time and tl-at the election of Crokers mar
ionette will have made a repetition of this
years folly impossible.
