srlrne.s asa -usrn.hsess nauupant Bshiad the
Low Movement.

Pros, Grnton's ha0arfns.
OF course. tho real motive behind this anti
Republican Low movement 10 TO claim the credit
for tho election Of Mr.. Low, and no, like true
spoilsmen, demand tho larger share of the
patronage In tho organization Of the Greater
Now York.
1t does not require much insight TO see through
this non.partisanship CRY. 1t 10 probably true
that tho Citizens Union Is really anti.Tammany,
but 1t 10 scarcely less clear that Its chief object
10 to transfer the patronage Of New York from
Tammany Democrats to Mugwump Democrats,
and for purposes OF national politics."
The talk about separating municipal from ma
tional politics is not to DO taken seriously. 1t 10
q mere catchword to promote local disorganiza-
ton. Even those who think they are In earnest
about It do not mean It in practice. Tho truth
is that the theory Of public policy represented in
q political party 10 just as feasible and neces-
sary in municipal as in State or national poll
tics. II a political party represents q principle
Of public policy that is good at Washington or
at Albany, 1t will be good at the City Hall. Any
pretenco about divorcing the administration Of
the Greater New York from political principle
and party organization should be taken as cam
paign sawdust. The nero ehopkeepor's method
Of administering the Greater New York would
be a small-souled, bungling failure.
The election Of the Mayor and the organiza-
ton OF tho Government Of the Greater New York
10 to be- the beginning Of q new epoch In the
history Of New York, and no amount OF playing
with phrases should DO permitted to divert the
people from thoroughly understanding tho full
significance OF the event. With all that can DO
said about individual bosses and local politi-
clans. the fact remains that whatever there Is of
decency and honor and influence for good In the
greater metropolis is with the Republican party.
1t is therefore only In conjunction with the Re-
publican party that anything can DO done effec-
lively to emancipate the Greater Now York
from Tammany rule. With Its anxiety for a
harmonious campaign against Tammany, the
Republican party has been almost difldent in
discussing tho question for fear OF offending the
Citizens' Union. This may DO q mistake. As
we have said. In the large view Of the case 1t Ia
almost as important to prevent the election OF
q free-trade city Government as 1t is to prevent
the return Of Tammany. and since the Repub-
lican party 10 the backbone and loins Of the
entire respectable reform movement, It 10 q Re-
| publican right and a duty to insist that the can.

had elected a decent man, who, as a
Democrat, had sailed into office through
fusion. has been heard from. Harris,
after being elected, held on TO his place
in the legislature until he had killed
the Pop maximum freight rate bill by
substituting pretty fair measure of
his own. The blowhard element of the
Pop party have never gotten over Har-
ris' work in defeating their fool meas
ure. Finding that they could not re-
call the vote which sent him to Wash
ington for six years, they fell upon
Ieedy with the demand for an extra
session of the Legislature. The pre-
tense is desire to enact the bill that
Harris killed. The real reason is for
mileage and per diem and another
chance to Doodle. But we digress.
Harris has introduced a bill for the
regulation of railways throughout the
country. His measure comprehends
seven federal courts with judge for
each TO whom all railway cases shall be
submitted, including rate schedules,
Determinations, pooling, etc. These
Judges are TO take the place of the in

are 10 be both for civil and criminal
