More Mockery OF Homo Rule.

Tho Sagasta Government is apparently
irving to stave Off the independence of Cuba
by another device OF sham autonomy. Its
plan is no doubt more liberal than that of
the Canovas Ministry, which proved abso-
lutely futile, yet ii is likely to prove a
wretched makeshift that the patriots can
not possibly accept.
The Canovas project retained all final
powers of real value at Madrid. The
new plan, as forecast or rumored at Wash.
ington, would create a local legislature,
wholly elected by popular vote in the
island, and this body would make the laws
and fix the taxes. 1t does not yet ap.
pear, however, what final power of veto
Spain would propose to retain over the
acts Of the proposed legislature; but
she would appoint the Govcrnor.Genera
and control the courts, while it remains to
be seen what the proposed suffrage is.
We suppose that even u n system as is
now talked of, if put in force three years ago.
might have prevented, or at least postponed,
the revolution. But now, as a concession
wrung from Spain by Cuban successes in
the field, and brought out with a view to
avoid American interference, it Is a wholly
different matter. The true home rule fol-
Cuba is independence.

Mr.. Schroeder Sees All the Way
Through Seth Low.

SETH Lows private uncertainty as to
what he really represents in this canvass
has been manifest ever since the unifying
force idea disappeared. As election day
Rets nearer he seems to be settling down
upon the three.cents q signature idea as
the principal basis OF his elf.proclaimed
public usefulness. In some of his recent
speeches 1t has pleased Mr.. Low to assert
that what he stands for, particularly and
peculiarly, is "the peoples right to nomi.
nate whom they want to and how they
want to-" The grammar would hardly pass
at Mornlngside Heights, but Mr.. Lows
meaning is sufficiently clear.
This idea now turns up in one form or
another whenever Mr.. Low speaks. He Is
| constantly referring to the peoples right
to vote for a man nominated by a petition
| containing the signatures of over 100, 900
men. as 1 have been y nj he would like to
| convince his fellow citizens that here is
an issue overshadowing all others, and de.
manding urgently their votes.
Ex.Mayor SCHROEDER Of Brooklyn has
almost contemptuously exposed the hum.
bug Of Mr.. Lows professions Of solicitude
for the vIndication Of the peoples fright to
nominate whom they want to and how
they want to-" in this charming passage of
irony and common sense:
"If Mr.. Low expects to be elected he will be the
most astonished man In the world when the result Ia
announced. He will discover that signatures. col.
lected ut the coat OF three cents apiece. are not to be
relied upon. II they are. then I can see no reason
why the same methods should not be extended to the
state. We want a business administration in the
State as much as we do in the city, and II Mr. Low
would expend only rs much money as he has donated
to Columbia University. / see no reason why enough
signatures should not bs gathered to Justify him in
demanding the nomination for President Of the
United States"
There is no reason. One million dollars,
iudiciously expended under the direction
of REYNOLDS, would probably secure names
enough to an adroitly worded and non
committal petition to convince Mr.. SETH
Low that his services were required in the
White House. Having secured this back.
ing, he might proceed to erase all the IFS
and conditions in the original petition,
and present himself as q candidate for
President representing 1.-THE right of the
people to nominate whom they want to
and how they wan to-"
This only amounts to saying that Mr..
Lows method of self-promotion in politics
is open alike to himself for any other Office
which his ambition may covet, and to any
other political adventurer sufficiently pc.

1t would certainly be a very great relief
for Spain II she were to throw Off Cuba. Tho
life OF her people, and her treasure. and her re-
sources are Wasted there. She has suffered
humiliation there; she has brought dishonor
upon herself; she has stirred UP the hatred of
the Cuban people; she has lost the favor Of the
United States by her conduct there. 1t is time
for her to relinquish Cuba.
We printed yesterday a despatch from Madrid
to the London Times which spoke Of the gloom
that exists in Spain; "tho situation" said the
correspondent. "is one OF almost unrclieved
gloom" 1t lie all because OF Spain's losses and
sufferings in Cuba. which have been Of q char.
acter fitted to make any country gloomy.
Cuba can never again be to Spain what it has
been in past times. The only hope for Cuba lies
in freedom. If Spain were TO withdraw her
army from Cuba the gloom which she suffers
would vanish and the light Of better times
would fill her skies. 7, e people Of Spain should
compel their Government TO cut of Cuba and
lot it take care of itself.

Two Tickets-Good and Bad.

Honest-moncy Democrats who would
welcome n chance to return conscientiously
to the banner of Tammany Hall must not
sneak behind the Mugwump comparison of
the Republican organization with Tam
many, PLAT and CROKER, as they call
them, and say, II they are balanced thus,
we'll take our old associates and vote for
VAN WICK. Between the Republican
ticket and the Tammany ticket there is no
comparison.
The Republican candidates themselves
are invitations that every fair.minded voter
of whatever party will find it difficult to
decline. The Tammany ticket in its amaz-
ing selections scarcely deserves the dignity
of consideration.
If the Republicans had gone beyond their
party fences and had sought the citizen in
mind, character, and training best qualified
to be Mayor of New York. they could have
found no superior to Gen. TRACY. The
Tammany nominee for Mayor, VAN WICK,
is n travesty among candidates.

The Republican candidate for District
Attorney, w. NJ. K. OLcorT, deserves re-
election If there is any eva for faithful
and efficient public service. The Tammany
candidate for District Attorney is ASA
BIRD GARDINER. Well, look at him! Take
him If you like him.
Next Tuesday voters for TRACY and his
associates will mark their ballots with the
pleasing conviction that in doing so they
are rendering to their city the most benefi-
cial service for which the day gives them
the opportunity. Put.a cross over the

of Republicanism in the Empire State; then

The London Times need have no anxiety
that tho United States will "precipitate a
crisis In the case of Spain. This Government
does not seek a quarrel with the Spanish Gov
eminent. 1t has tried to get along peaceably
with Spain. 1t has borno a great deal from her
for tho sake Of remaining at peace with her.
When she has violated the rights Of American
citizens in Cuba. we have merely asked her to
live up to her treaty obligations. When, under
her authority. WEYLER has perpetrAted deeds
forbidden by the laws of civilized warfare. we
have not even made such q remonstrance as
1t was our duty to make. When she
has talked angrily, tho reply has been In
placatory terms. When she has complained that
arms.bearing ships bound for Cuba have escaped
from American ports, our naval forces have been
ordered to pursue these ships, and the pursuit
has in most cases been successful. When she
has spoken upon any subject to this Govern
ment 1t has always given heed to her words.
When her Minister at Washington has had any
request to mako the doors OF tho State Depart
ment have stood open for him.. In our diplo
matte relations with Spain the policy OF con
Citation has always been followed by this Gov
eminent.
The United States have steadily refrained
from doing anything at which Spain could take

case OF Samuel Bachrach against the Manhattan
Elevated Railway Company and another. appel.
lants. In denying the motion the Court had
handed down the following memorandum per
curiam:
This is q motion by the plaintiff to dismiss
the appeal upon the ground that the judgment
below has been unanimously affirmed by tho
Appellate Division as TO tho facts. and that the
exceptions in tho case are frivolous. This
motion is one Of n large class imposing much
labor on the court and that ought OF to be
made. In this case bri is are submit ed citing
au' horitics to support tho opposing views. The
fact that such n course is necessary is conclusive
evidence that tho motion sh uld be denied. An
examination OF this record discloses q number
of exceptions that can only be disposed Of after
argument OF the appeal. The rule in motions of
this character is similar to that applied to a
party asking Judgment on a frivo GUS pleading.
This memorandum is handed own in order that

LBASY Oct. 26.-As q result Of the tally.ho

Long Island Railroad on Memorial Day the
State Railroad Commission has taken measures
to prevent such accidents in the future. The
commission today sent a circular letter to all
steam railroad companies and Highway Com
missioners throughout the State, saying that
its attention had been directed to the fact that
in many instances the railroad companies fail
to keep their right of way free from grass,
weeds. and nderbrush. as required by law, par
ticularly at points where the tracks OF a railroad
are crossed by highways Mt grade: also, that
the c is Noncompliance with the Highway law
on the part OF Highway Commissioners and over
seers OF ways in the matter of keeping high
ways free from similar growth at railroad cross
ings. The board Is convinced that compliance
with the provisions OF law would increase the
distance at which trains approaching q high.
way could be seen from the highway: The
board suggests that the Highway Commission
ers and overseers Of highways throughout the
State cause all distractions TO be removed from
highways at railroad grade crossings.
The commission also recommends that where
there are distractions on n highway or on pri-
vate property which interfere with a proper
Wow OF "a crossing, and the cooperation OF The
Highway Commissioners cannot be secured. tho
railroad company take steps to acquire the
right to remove such distractions.
