Tho Spy at Charleston.

1t is clear from the information fur.
nished by Capt. +. V. ABBOT, the engineer
officer in charge of the Charleston defences,
that the War Department was not too
prompt in issuing its recent strict orders
regarding the exclusion of unauthorized
persons from the coast Notifications.
The young Spaniard whose name has
been mentioned in the dispatches as Turk.
ing about the Charleston works is the
same one, If memory serves us, who pub
lished some time ago an article upon our
coast dcfences. which referred to their
backward state and vulnerability. If the
first accounts are correct he must have
pursued his researches into this subject at
Charleston with more zeal than discretion.
Should Spain ever undertake the task of
sending ships to attack any portion of our
coast she would probably choose some point
below Cape Hatteras, because her fleet
would presumably proceed from a second
airy base at Havana, and would be as short
a time on the voyage as possible. Charles
ton, Savannah, and Key West might suS-
Sest themselves prominently for such an
attempt. and Charleston, while it is now
being provided with new dcfences, has
tnuS iuT no garrison TO man lnc1n. Wnlle
Key West has some troops.
Still, we doubt whether Spain has OBJ
tanned any Information about the defences
at Charleston or anywhere else on the coast
which will be of vital Importance. Even
before the recent orders, much care had
been taken not to permit visitors to see the
new works, at least without special official
authorization But the Charleston affair
may have good results In causing still
greater precautions to be taken, especially
against spies acting in the interest of ma.
lions that may at some time be our foes.

The Reason for II.

Before the Republican Convention meets,
the Low Republicans and Citizens Union.
lists will understand somewhat the shallow.
ness and the lowncss of their harangucs and
appeals to the regular Republican organiza.
ton not to think about n little thing like
Mr.. Lows nomination having been made
too soon, and to make Mr.. Low the Re.
publican candidate. The time of Mr.. Lows
nomination is insignificant. The question
Is, What Is he, being nominated, and. being
what no is, what is his eligibility for lead,
ership of the Republican ticket2
The answer is that rs n candidate for
Mayor Mr.. Low is the enemy of the Repub.
lican party and Of its platform. He has dc.
clared himself one in spirit and purpose
with an organization formed to drive ont
of the Greater New York the Republican
organization, together with all other or.
CARNATIONS allied with State or national
issues, and Of completely obliterating it as
n power in the affairs Of the municipal.
ity. AS the time arrives when the ma.
tional conservative sentiment and indus.
trial h~opcfulness look with particular
anxiety for the Republicans in New York
to play their part in the common task Of
striking another blow at Organism, Mr..
Low steps in and says: "Nol No anti.
Organism for New York l am the plat
form. The thing to beupheld by the virtue
and patriotism of the Greater New York
will be my obligation of the official oath
as Mayor to make the interests of the city
the paramount concern in the discharge of
every duty. Respectfully, SETH Low"
Mr.. Lows proposition is wholly ~irrecon-
cilable with the ideas approved and prac-
ticed in American politics, and beyond the
powers Of the Republican organization to
accept in any degree or form. Compared
to the principle that makes impossible a
moments honest consideration of him as
the Republican candidate, the time or the
spirit of his nomination is o subject not
worthy of discussion.
The duty of the Republican organization
Is, first of all, to proclaim not the Chicago
platform, nor the dribblings of it found in
the Citizens Union platform, but the ma
tional Republican platform as adopted at
st. Louis. And it is also the duty of the
Republicans to nominate not the candidate
of Tammany, nor an unctuous sympathizer
with the Tammany sentiment named by
the Citizens Union, but a straight and I'M
questionable representative Of the Rcpub-
lican platform and party.

graph lines, while the neglected harbor OF
Havana breeds yellow fever and threatens
the health of our land. Spanish misrule,
with its crushing taxation md plumber,
can be stopped.
The Cubans also have qualities that
promise successful government. They have
no love of royalty; they are more homo
geneous than some OF the Spanish colonies
that have obtained freedom, have lone
language and one history" and arc "morc
national in spirit h Spain ITSELF" They
are not swayed by fanaticism in religious
matters. The shape Of their island favors n
strong central government, because n rail.
road from east to west will give easy com-
munication for troops, so that local rebel.
| lions can be quelled. In some Spanish
American republics the heterogeneous popu.
lations have been led to uprlsings by petty
| chiefs; but Cuba, with 81 per cent. of whites
and the colored remainder l~aw-abiding,
more resembles Chill, Costa RIGA and the
Argentine Republic. No supremacy of the
negro element, as in Hayti and San Domin.
go, is possible.
Many Cubans have been educated here or
AVE lived here. Their civil government
now, as in the war of 1868. is controlled by
law, and it has authority over the mill
tary. Mr.. ALvoRD dwells at length on the
p~raiseworthy municipal character of Key
West, Tampa, West Tampa, and Ybor, UNI
der Cuban control; and we do not lave to
go to Florida for proof of the ~law-abiding,
Industrious, and progressive traits Of our
Cuban.American citizens. Even the pam.
phlet which the Colonial Office at Madrid is
sued for the purpose of showing that the
Cubans have nothing to complain of. sug.
gests by its array of offices held by Cubans,
that they can manage their island. That
they will be called on before long to do so
generally we cannot doubt.

The Prerequisite.

the Citizens Union that its managers are
now ready to make terms with tho Repub-
lican party. On condition that the Repub-
leans Endorse" their precipitate nomina.

ports, the Citizens Union will permit them
to select the candidates for President of the
Council and for Comptroller.
Even II such terms are offered they can

ization for one moment, much less accepted.
The only condition on which it is possible
for the Citizens Union to enter into con-
ference with the Republican party Of New
York with reference 10 the unihcation of
the opponents of Tammany and Organism
is the withdrawal of the candidacy of Low,
With the disturbance. the insult, and the

Citizens Union will spend its efforts at

SETH Low has been demonstrated to be a

cannot be brought about except by his
withdrawal.

The Hon. PRYSNE COKE of Good Gov
crpmcnt Club c favors us with some important
remarks. OF which the following are sufficiently
strong for a first dose:
The Citizens Union. which you Affect to ndicule,
is composed OF our best citizens. the most intelligent.
moral, virtuous. and respectable part OF the com.
munity. 1t Is as inevitable as gravitatlon that they
should control the city. They are the nttest to rule,
and they are going TO rule. Politicians and political
parties are a useless. In fact, a harmless survival in
municipal affairs. The rule OF the nttest: that is our
principle. The Citizens Union consists Of the nttest,
and must prevail"
We shall leave Mr.. CoXE's remarks to speak
for themselves, contcnting ourselves with the
observation that his respect for gravitation is
rather surprising. II there really is anything in
gravitation, the Citizens Union will have to
tumble and fall.

When Cuba IL Free.

TIL question how the Cubans will govern
their island after they have thrown off the
yoke OF Spain must nave suggested itself
often. They certainly could not govern It
worse than the Spaniards, aud certain facts
indicate that the improvement will be
prompt and surprising.

the Spanish policy of plumber and of
shameful neglect. Taking, for example.

the civil war, set apart 1897, 76O for this

The diplomatic proceedings in which the
Administration of President MCKINLEY Is
now engaged with the blind, obstinate
ofiicialdom Of Spain will, in all probability,
close the volume of our complications with
that nation. Our first controversy with her
arose Immediately after the close of the War
of Independence on the question of the nav.
igation of the lower Mississippi. That
ended in the abandonment of SPANS absurd
pretensions. Conflicting boundary claims
ruffied the course of our relations at the
same period, and. later on, came the Semi
mole war, when the indomitable JACKSON,
with characteristic energy, gave to the
Castilian commandments of Florida cities
lessons in neutral obligations that won the
applause of his countrymen.
The magnificent Louisiana ACQUISITION
brought with it a long and irritating con.
troversy with Spain in regard to Texas,
which was smOothed over by the adoption
of the Sabine River as the line of territorial
demarcation. This was in 1919.
The next OCCASION of conflict was the pro-
posed exchange Of the Floridas for Texas.
We gave our assent to the treaty on the
subject, but Spain withheld her ratihca.
ton. JAMES MONROE was President, and
In a letter to him in 1920 on that question
JEFFERSON made three memorable predic-
tions, two of which have been long since
fulfilled, while the third, in the maturity
OF time, seems now on the eve of glorious
realization. JEFFERSON wrote:

HINGLESS ANGEL LAHsUIE.
Miss TiilinEhaat Wants Her Money for u
Stained Glass window She Designed.

Stained Glass window She DesIEued.
Mary E. Tillinghast. artist. brought an action
recently against John E. Mcintosh of Syracuse
to recover q balance due her for a stained glass
memorial window of a relative Of the defendant
designed for st. Marks Church at Syracuse and
for $1,000 damages to the reputation OF the
plaintiff because he refused to keep the con-
tract and said the window was not artistic.
Yesterday on q motion all the allegations of the
complaint bearing on the claim for the S.. 900
were stricken out by Justice Mclaughlin of the
Supreme Court as irrelevant to the action for
breach Of contract.
1t is alleged that Miss Tillinghast after pre-.
l!;n!nary conferences with the defendant made q
sketch of the window she would construct for
$500 besides the expenses OF putting it in place.
which amounted to s2s6.57. Mcintosh signed a
contract in which 1t was provided that the win
that the floating figure in the right-hand panel
will be change. to an angel floating in the
clouds"
MI. Mcintosh paid 1925 down. but thereafter
declined TO pay any more. saying that persons
connected with the church had considered the
work inartistic. He says that the picture rep
resents an angel in the air with two angels
standing on the ground beneath. One OF the
angels On the ground. he says. has not got any
wings. and he thinks she ought to have wings.
Miss Tillinghast states that the defendant
examined and approved the sketch before she
began work on the window. which is carefully
constructed, to comply with the contract, OF
which the sketch is a part.
