To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: am q
man who has passed the line of threescore years
and ten. and have been reader of the Ncto
Fork Tribune fully fifty years.
But the Mugwumpian course of this journal
In championing Seth Lows selfish defectlon
from the great Republican party. which. by its
grand triumph in the elections Of 1896, saved
our nation from nameless disaster. and which.
but for the Seth Low diversion. would, beyond
all doubt, havc saved your Greater New York
from Tammanys disgraCeful victory so shocked
and offended and grieved my stalwart Republ-
canism that the paper has lost my respect and
my patronage.
l have been reading THE SUN for the las. year.
and 1t has won upon my admiration for it's
brilliant support OF MIR. Mckinley in 1896 and
OF Gen. Tracy in 1897 that l cannot withhold
from you an expression OF my admiration and
my most hearty commcndation.
Your news is select and covers all that is
afloat worthy OF reading at home and abroad,
and your editorials on the great issues now be-
fore the American people are gems as to princi-
pies and diction.
Your valiant championship of Gen. Tracy in
your Mayoralty election and your royal defence
OF Mr.. Platt against the slanderous and villain
GUS onslaught of the entire Mugwumpian press
entitle you to the profound respect of all
broadly thinking minds the country over.

The Mugwump Club.

A letter from member of the Manhattan
Club, published in another column, indi-
Gates the cause of the reputation of that
club by Mr.. CROKER as in any way repre-
sentative of the Democratic party. The
Manhattan, like the Union League Club, is
infested with Mugwumpery, and whenever
the germs of that disease get into any po-
litical association its ultimate destruction,
SO far as concerns it's original character, is
certain, unless they are expelled summarily
and heroically.
The Union League Club has already
ceased to be Republican association, and
there is no possibility of it's returning to
its original field il the Mugwumps are
suffered to remain in control of it. They
must be driven out by the introduction of
new and sound Republican health, or they
will divest the club of the last vestiges of
its Republican character. When the polit-
ical disease enters into n newspaper. thor
oughly inoculating 1t, there is also no re-
corded instance where it has been expelled.
1t grows more acute steadily until at last
it develops into an incurablc mania under
the pressure of which the paper usually
loses both moral and intellectual stamina.
The Manhattan Club contains members
who, like our correspondent. have been
proof against the Mugwump infection, but
they will bepowerless to resist its progress.
AS mere matter of personal comfort, they
will be driven to the necessity of getting
out of the infected company; for no fact as
to the disease Is demonstrated more thor
oughly than that 1t absolutely disqualifies
the victims of 1t for reasonable political as.
sociation with those who have escaped from
it's ravages The peculiar malady of Mug
wumps makes association with any except
Mugwumps intolerable on both sides. Mug
wumps must be sequestrated (; IL they are to
be in political club. they must have it
all to themselves.
Naturally, therefore, the Mugwumps in
the Manhattan Club have arrogated to
themselves the management of the estab.
lishment, with the consequence that they
are driving the Democrats from 1t. But
that, however, Is not a calamity for the
Democratic party or for the withdrawing
members Of the club. The Manhattan Club,
being no longer Democratic institution,
is of no use to any Democrat. Undoubtedly
there are not enough Mugwumps to sup
port both 1t and the Union League Club,
but by uniting they are sufficient to keep
one or the other going singly. Our sugges-
tion has been that they combine to make
the Union League Club their retreat, since,
as we understand, they are relatively more
numerous there than at the Manhattan,
and the essence of Mugwumpery is hatred
of the Republican party.

and no just complaint can be made Of them
because, believing AZ they do, they resent
It's sale to college boys. But IL Bish-
ops, clcrgymen, and the givers Of din
ners and balls and those who attend
them do not themselves practice total alb
stinence, how can they expect to be success
full In forcing 1t on other people7 IL liquor
selling is as bad as Bishop DoANE made out,
there can be no justifable temperance In
It's use, considering that, however little a
man may drink, he contributes, so far, to
create demand for the sale.
1t is very difficult question, whichever
way you look at It, but one fact is demon.
strated by oil attempts at prohibition, and
1t Is that the law cannot keep people from
drinking, on Sunday and on all days, IL
such Is their inclination. II total absti-
nence is adopted 1t must be as personal
and individual matter; 1t cannot be en-
forced on society. II there is any drinking
at all, some drunkenness Is inevitable, Of
course, but personal liberty is priceless.
Moreover, IL the sale Of liquor is reprehen-
sible, its purchase and consumption are
not less reprehensible. In other words, all
social reformers must remember that at
the bottom the public mind Is logical.

More Bicycle Policemen.

The new Police Commissioners must fur
nish adequate police protection to every
part of the immense territory included in
the new New York. Foot policemen suf-
flcient In number would be 30 many that
the cost would be very great. Admitting
that comparatively few horsemen would do
the work Of many footmen, their equip.
ment and maintenance would also be
heavy burden on the city's pay roll. But
only mounted policemen Of some sort are
to be considered seriously, and here comes
in the bicycle squad.
The record Of the bicycle squad in the
last two years Is one of extraordi-
nary efficiency, and its superiority over
horsemen for performing all-round po-
lice work has been shown In many ways.
The wheelmen are much less conspicuous
than men on horseback. Their approach is
almost noiseless. Their speed Is as the
strength of their own muscles. The wheel
requires little attention, no forage, and Is,
consequently, much cheaper and more de-
sirable than its predecessor, the horse.
Two policemen mounted experimentally
on wheels have grown into seventy men, the
number Of the bicycle squad to-day. Their
services in restraining scorchers and reck-
less drivers, arresting burglars, recovering
stolen property, and preserving peace and
order generally have been admirable.
Through their skill and watchfulness
rowdies and drunkards have been called to
account, and the metropolitan masher has
been taught that his ways toward women
are liable to land him in jail. Moreover, 1t
is certain that the increased protection
which the bike cops have afforded to cyclists
has rendered wheeling for women safer
and more enjoyable than it could have been
otherwise, and explains partly why the
wheelwomen in this city last year were
many times more than ever before.
The principal cities of the world are
watching and admiring the work of the BIZ
cycle squad in New York. It's fitness for
all sorts of police duty has been demon
strated to the general satisfaction. New
York, with its miles of boulevards, cycle
paths and streets of macadam and asphalt.
calls for the squads enlargement, until it is
numbered even by the hundred.

Senator Turner of Washington.

Senator GEORGE TURNER, who represents
the thriving State Of Washington In Con.
gress, In the course of n pessimistic speech
In the Senate few days ago, dragged the
"robber barons of the Middle Ages" out Of
their graves In order to light up his rhet-
oric, and then solemnly declared:
nthese conditions continue to progress there will
bc but two classes in this country the employer and
Unemployed The people of the country do not favor
such condition and will not have it."
1t strikes us that in this country and in
every other land since the beginning of CIV
ilization mankind has been divided in this
way; divided into employers and employed.
We cannot imagine what the Populist SEN
ator is driving at. Does he want to have
only one class-all employers9 II 80, that
would deprive him of his very comfortable
job of filling the Congressional Record
with pages of nonsense.
Senator TURNER has no Just reason to
complain as one of the employed. We
doubt that he was ever so we'll Off as he is
at present. He should have the wisdom
to let we'll enough alone.

A Law Not to BE Repealed.

It seems that O committee Of the Wine,
Liquor, and Beer Dealers Association is
making ga determined effort" to bring
about the repeal Of the Raines Tax law,
but such an expenditure seems to be in
opportuue, 30 far as concerns tho present
Legislature. Moreover, that association Is
not as formidable body as 1t was under
the excise law which the Raines law su-
perseded, the number Of saloons in this
State having been decreased from SO, 800
to $4,000, and a large part Of those re-
manning being hotels or taverns at which
the demands of patrons for drink can be
met without offending the law.
The New York branch Of the liquor
dealers committee objects to the Raines
law because 1t has not been q success in
operation" Popular opinion, however,
cannot regard as unsuccessful law which
turned into the State treasury last year
81, 100000 and materially increased the
revenues of all tho cities and counties Of
the State, from the proceeds Of liquor SELL
ing. Tax and revenue laws which leave
deficits may be repealed; but when, like the
Raines law, they yield abundant and in.
creaslng revenue and other satisfactory
results, propositions for their repeal are not
likely to be popular, however determined.
No Legislature, be It Democratic or Re-
publican, will repeal the Raines law. Its
principle will remain.

srurwumpery I'm tho Manhattan Club.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: Mr..
Croker's remarks about tho Manhattan Club
have been misconstrued. They wero not in
tended against the members. but rather against
the management. as these managers have here
tofore slighted every national and State officer
who did not conform to their ideas of Democ-
racy. Unless they bore the stamp of Cleve-
landism, these officers. in their own opinion,
were not eligible for public club reception
1t is a well-known fact in the Manhattan Club
that the Board Of Managers. by clever manipu-
lation. have succeeded in filling vacancies with
their own selections and having them elected at
the succeeding annual elections of the club by
the most adroit Macchiavellian manipulation.
Can any one imagine that Charles w. Day
ton, Arthur Ingraham, and David Gilbert
(managers) are typical representatives OF Jack
eonian Democracy 1t is also well-known
fact that one of these gentlemen has in the most
arbitrary manner run the club II not for his
own personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, at least he has
succeeded in defeating the well-known wishes
Degrading political efforts) of all those who
were known as thoroughgoinR Democrats This
manager Is n Mugwump among Mugwumps,
and any one bearing the brand of the Democ-
racy of the type of odd Hickory was not

preferment.

be recognized by every fellow member of the
