"REspONSIBLE GOVERNMENT"

The old Tammany defender which Mr.. Platt
two years ago found bushwhacking between
the lines preyng upon both parties. and
for lack of anything else in the way Of
newspaper support took into his service as
his personal organ. makes no pretence Of
concealment OF its delight at the return Of
its old associates to power. Hereafter" it
says in a burst of Joy. I'VE shall have respon-
"sible government We shall be able to hold
"a distinct party accountable for the admins
"trat.on Of Mayor Van Wyck. 1t will be gov
"erned according to American methods" With
a vicious parting kick at Mayor Strong, whom
1t has made the target Of It's scurrlity during
his entire term Of office for no other reason than
that he would not permit Plat to run" the
city, II says: "a new Mayor will start In office
"on a very different plan, the American plan
"of a responsible government by party and
"the subordination Of public functionary to
"the principles and pledges to which his election
was due All Of which, though 1t sounds
very we'll, is-as everybody knows who knows
anything Of current political history or the
record Of the party which assumes control OF
the city to-day-the most abysmal nonsense.
Responsible government, "A distinct party
accountable, Who, pray, is responsible for the
government? And who is the distinct party
accountable? No need TO ask. Everybody
knows Richard Croker Is the responsible gov
ernment" Richard Croker is the distinct
party" No secret is made Of 1t. He holds no
office. The voters have put him in no position
Of trust, responsibility or power But nothing
is more patent or more notorious than that he
is the government and the party. What else
has all this Lakewood business signifed; this
running back and forth OF ofice-seelers and
hceers this absolute subordinatiOn Of Van
Wyck and Gardiner and Coler and all the rest
Of the elected officials to Croker this sel-abase-
ment and humiliation In his presence; this con-
stant reference Of all questions to him alone
and this persistent ignoring Of the men whom
the voters elected TO positions Of responsibility
and trust2 What else does all this mean than
that Croker is the government, the party-'the
whole shooting match" IN Shorthand that the
rest are but showpeces and fgureheads? Re
sponsible government indeed! It's govern
ment responsible TO no one but Croker, and
Croker is responsible to no one
American plan" and american methods!
Yes: such plan and such methods as had for
their highest exponent William NJ. Tweed, the
monumental municipal robber of the age, whom
"Tte New-York Sun" beslobbered with fulsome
adulation to the very end Of his career-crown-
ing Its hero-worshp by urging the erection
of a statue in his honor. Yes; he gave'the plan
and the methods the name American" and
made it shame and disgrace, a Kissing and a
byword all oyer the world. And we are to re-
turn TO the American plan" and American
methods. God help u.s.

FRANCES SHARE OF CHINA.

The report that France has seized Ha-Nan
Is contradicted, and again affirmed. 1t seems
altogether probable that II 1t is not now true 1t

been her readest follower in the attack upon
Japan and so she fittingly grabbed next
France was last to array herself In that unholy
league, and therefore she will take her com.
pensaton last. But she will take 1t, Just the

interests will unquestlonably be promoted by
annexation to Tonquin. Whether the French
seizures Will stop there Is, however, greatly to
