Senator Morgan OF Alabama is in San
Francisco en- route to Honolulu. He visits
the Hawaiian Islands for pleasure and OBJ
serVation. and there is every reason 20
predict that he will greatly enjoy him
self. Pleasure and profit, indeed will re-
suit TO the people of Hawaii quite as mucl
as TO the senator. He will find in them
the Strongest elements of character and
progress. and they will find in him the
traits that go to make the representative
American statesman and patriot.
Those who oppose what is termed the
lingo policy are pleased to refer to 1t as
If 1t represented some new-fangled. half
baked conception of American progress.
one might SUPP oSe, indeed, from such de-
scriptions that only very young and very
inexperienced men were subscribing to it
IN word, that a set of turbulent and
reckless spirits were trying to seize the
government and start it along a pathway
Of certain and very great disaster But
is Senator Morgan young or an inexperi-
enced man? On the contrary, is he not a
type OF the men who are behind the policy
of which the annexation of Hawaii is to be
an expression? Has not the policy been
most carefully thought out, and by men
who. like the Alabama senator. have given
years OF service TO the government in posts
of the highest responsibility?
IL is a cheering sign OF the times, in
deed. to see veterans of approved char
acter and the highest ability urging the
country. and pointing the way, along a
pathway of progress and duty. They speak
soberly and advisecly. and absolutely with
out even the suggestion of selfishness. They
can have only the interests of the whole
country at heart. Their own positions are
secure. Theirs are not deliverances de-
signed to attract attention to themselves
in the hope of personal preferment or any
kind of political reward. They love the
country. have faith In its destiny, and
desire only to see IL meet every emergency,
great or small as II arises. II men of that
stamp and experience are jingoes, there Is
no offensiveness in the word. however
much may be intended by those who use 1t.

1t Is deplorable that the danger points
along the lines of the steam railroads en-
ter1ng Washington are being discovered
only by means of the deadly accidents that
happen at these places. The wretched
condition OF affairs at Deanewood, caused
by the criminal economy of the railroad
omcials, was revealed by the death of
Judge Claughton and Miss Custis The
TACT that another road dares to violate the
regulations as to the maintenance of safe
~ gates at two important crossings was
brought to light through the killing of a
morse ana the narrow escape of two per-
sons a Few nights ago. Last night still an
other death-trap was disclosed when a
carriage containing a well-known citizen
his wife and two friends was demolished
by train at crossing at which the de-
wees for preserving life and limb had be-
come inactive an hour previous.
The misfortune is that these facts are
not discovered by the police or some other
public agents before they cause destruction
However the latest accident may result
whether it causes death mere tmaiming
IL should stimulate all the authorities
from the Commissioners down to the DO
lcemen on their beats, to the greatest en-
ergy In seeking to force the railroad COM
pany to hire the men whose services are
demanded by common sense and a decent
respect for life and limb
The present condition Of affairs, with the
railroads entering the city at grade is
weli-nigh intolerable. and in time 1t must
cease. but meanwhile it is required that
the danger be reduced to a minimum
through the employment of every safety
device possible. If the companies will not
voluntarily follow the suggestions of prac-
tical economy and provide means Of pro-
tecting the public that will surely save
hundreds of times their cost in damages
resulting from such accidents as those that
have recently occurred. then the public
authorities must take the matter into their
own hands and through the penal laws
force such action

1t may be possible for the situation in
Greater New York to become more compli-
Gated than 1t now Is. but one hesitates to
admit as much. Primarily. the proposition
was for a non-partisan administration CT
the new municipality Why. 1t was asked,
should not the affairs of a great city be
conducted without regard to national or
state politics? Why not call men to office
solely on the strength Of their capacity for
affairs and their character for probity and
progressive public spirit? Why should not
all those holding to this view unite on a
ticket and try to elect It?
The proposition was a good one. and many
influential men Endorsed It, A citizens
Union WAS formed with that object In yicw
and the organization at once brought for

for mayor. There was much to commend
the suggestion. Mr.. Low 10 q man OF

ability and of experience In the manage
ment of municipal affairs, and citizen
without reproach. He was consulted about
the matter and replied that he would make
the race If 1t appeared that he could unite
all the forces in favor Of the object aimed
at On the strength of this the Citizens
Union-which, however. contains only a
part Of those declaring for good govern
ment for the city-pushes again to the
front and formally tenders its nomination
to Mir. Low, and Mr.. Low. without waiting
fer the nomination to be seconded. ac-
cepts it.
The question now takes a partisan turn.
The republican organization complains of a
disposition on the part of the Citizens
Union to boss things" 1t resents what 1t
characterizes as the premature and injudf-
cious action of the union. Every consider
alton Of fair and wise dealing required, it
insists. that it. the republican organization,
should not be threatened in any way. Good
government for the city is in the main
comprehended in the purpose to prevent IL
possible the return Of Tammany Hall to
power. The fight. as the republicans see 1t,
is between Tammany and the foes Of Tam
many, and they will throw the great
bulk of the vote in November against Tam
to coerce them in the matter of the mayor
atty candidate is regarded by them as an
unfriendly act. They so speak of it, and
while Senator Platt. who is at the head of
the republican organization. does not de-
clare in so many words that the organiza-
ton will not accept Mr.. Low, the indica-
lions are that it will not. and that a repub-
lean candidate will appear in the field.
If republican candidate is put up, sup
port for him, 1t is plain enough, will be
solicited on the ground. paradoxical as IT
may appear, that he is both a partisan and
a non-partisan candidate. Non-partisan
ends. it will be claimed, will be attai ned by
the defeat of Tammany Hall, while parti-
san ends will be served by the election of a
candidate who represents in his own views
as well in those of his supporters. the
sound money Cause, against which last year
Tammany a political organization cast
its vote.
Ii Tammany is to be defeated, the anti
Tammany men must get together Divided
as they now are, Richard Croker's smiling
counteEance is fully accounted for

The publications OF the new street sweep
ing schedules at length should operate
to Increase the efficiency of the inspection
service materially, by enrolling the whole
community On the list of inspectors. With
the information thus furnished, each citizen
may know at once when street or a block
has been neglected and prompt report
of such neglect by him to the superinten-
dent should be the means of preventing a
repetition Of the offense by the contractors
agents. as well as of Furnishing him for the
lapse. 1t might be well for the suoerin-
tendent to INACCURATE a system whereby
daily report of the penalties imposed upon
the contractor for such violations of his
specifications and schedules may be given
| to the public through the press. Thus, IL
resident should report a case of neglect.
he could later know whether his informa-
ton had been acted upon by the authori-
ties. This plan would, in effect increase
by many thousands the present inspection
| force. 1t would bring into use a small army
OF persons alert for omissions and poor
work and a check would not only be i'm
posed upon the contractor, but upon the
official inspectors as well. The latter have
large area to cover and may be expected
to leave an occasional margin between per-
feet and actual performance of duty, and
In no better way could the system be made
to insure a maximum degree of efficiency
on the part Of all concerned. AS long as
| the contracting system must be maintained,
| it is proper that every effort be made to
guarantee that the community gets good
returns for his money. Therefore, the
. schedules that were printed in Tuesdays
Star should be preserved by all citizens for
| future reference. and as the basis OF a
| Complaint whenever the machines that are
due to perform certain work, at fixed
| time. do not put In an appearance.
