the conclusions Of the committee and the subse-
ouent proceedings Of the meeting Indicate that
no appropriate use Of It. with or without ex-
traneous help, Is to be made. On the whole, IN
spite Of Mr.. Quigg's smooth demeanor and apt

that the Republican Master intends to keep

same old Republican machine. And since that
Is his intention, this is good time as any

THE OLD BUSINESS Ar TIE OLD STAND.

Concerning the nrst meeting of the Repub-
lican County Committee since the election,
which was held on Thursday evening, 1t might
be sufficient to say that II anybody likes that
sort Of a meeting 1t was Just about the sort OF
a meeting he would like. And yet 1t did de-
velop certain Incidents and utterances which
may be worth consideration. IN the first place
not to defer a pleasure, we hasten to say that
parts Of the carefully prepared speech which
Chairman Quigg had no idea Of making" were
highly becoming to a man placed as he Is, and
intrinsicaIly sensible. For example: 1--WE must
remember that a hundred thousand Repub-
'1cans are in no position to discipline hundred
Thousand other Republicans. The remark has
"been made that you cannot indict a State.
"You cannot" II Mr.. Quigg had been more
familiar with the English classics and had quot
ed Burke axacty-"I do not know the method
"of drawing up an indictment against whole
'people"-the citation would have fitted the case
still better. The chairman went on to say: 'It
"is very clear to every fair-minded man that
III the Republican party is going to win cleo
"tions, the Republicans who fought for Seth
'Low and the Republicans who fought for Cen
"eral Tracy must be brought together. am
zone Of those who desire that they shall be
brought together. will make every personal
"sacrihce-if there Is personal sacrifice to be
"made-which can induce them to come to-
"gether. The Republican party must be united
"again" Just what and how much this means
we do not know. Perhaps Mr.. Quigg himself
does not know. 1t has already been intimated
that he was In a becoming mood on Thursday
evening, but II was the subjunctive rather than
the indicative mood. We hope that his declara-
ton means everything which words so we'll
chosen ought to mean. We can only promise to
be as honest with his future acts as we are with
his present utterances and for the time being
let It 60 at that
Other Incidents Of Thursdays meeting of the
County Committee are less susceptible Of a san
gune Interpretation, and notably the vulgar
and impudent clamor which greeted the speech
and resolutions Of Mr. Yereance delegate from
the XXIXth Assembly District, Of whose gross
~ fraudulent enrolment he has intimate knowl-
edge proposing a scrupulous rectincaton Of the
whole Republican enrolment by a competent
committee Because the committee suggested
by Mr.. Yereance contained the name of General
Arson G. McCook, General Coils considered It
desirable to say: II think the Republican party
"can do without all extraneous help, and move
"that the resolutions be laid on the table" What
arrangements members Of the Republican ma
chine may have made for getting along without
help except from Tammany Hall, which could
scarcely be called extraneous, time will disclose;
but It occurs to us that General Coils. Commits

Russia and France, and are therefore recon
ciled TO the seizure Of tho place. The idea is
fantastic one, though It has little justification
In the fact that those three Powers did unite
to compel Japan to modify tho treaty Of ST.
monoseki. But apart from any such considera-
tion Germany's occupation Of Kiao-Chau must
be regarded with disfavor by Japan. 1t forms
another obstacle to that control Of the Yellow
Sea at which the Island Empire aims. 1t brings
another Power within interested distance Of
Corea, and thus diminishes Japan's chances Of
ever getting possession Of the latter country,
though Of all nations she has incomparably
the best title thereto. It places, moreover, an
other serious barrier between Japan and the
Chinese capital, at which In some future war
che might want to strike That Japan will be
able to make any effective protest against Ger
many's action Is, however, not probable. She
Is already busy as she can be, preparing for
what is so generally regarded as the inevitable
conflict with Russia She Is hurrying work on
her navy with all possible energy, and Russia
Is in like manner pushing her Siberian railroad
to completion. 1t will add inestimable interest
to that conflict, II It really comes, to have Ger
many also in the scene at Kiao-Chau.

A Navel Bridge at Rouen.

This novel engineering work is caiieu
a "pont transbordeur" and is designed
tn fulfill all the purposes OF bridge
while it will offer no obstruction TO the
passage of ships with towering masts.
On each side of the river will be erected
a small Eiffel tower. about 10 feet I'D
height. and these towers will be joined
at the top by a latticework bridge upon
which lines of rails will be laid. On
these rails will run skeleton platform
which can be pulled from side TO slde
nv the agency of steam or electricity.
From this platform, which will be 100
feet above the quays, will depend steel
wire ropes, which will support at the
level of the river banks slung carriage
large enough to accommodate tram Car
full of passengers, besides other vehicles.
It is intended that this novel form OF
bridge shall be in connection with the
tram system at both sides of the river
SO that passengers can be carried across
the river without leaving their seats II
the cars. The work of building the tow
ers has already been commenced, and
is expected that the bridge will be opel
for traffic in IS months time. 1t is salt
