Marlboro, Nov. 22.-The refusal Of the
board Of aldermen to grant the petition
of a large number of people who asked
for the free use of City Hall for enter
tainment, instruction and recreation of
the working people during the present
labor trouble, was the chief topic of
conversation in Marlboro today. Par
ticulaIly true was this among the la
boring people and the aldermen who
voted against the measure, had more
hard things said about them since last
nights session than during the Temain-
der of the year.
Members Of the labor organizations
are 10th to speak for publication on the
subject All, however. are Of one mind
in saying it was what they expected.
A prominent member Of one of the I'M
ions said to a Spy reporter this after
noon:
The present board of aldermen has
shown a hostile spirit to organized la
Dor since the commencement OF the
year. Notice their attitude on contract
labor. and you win see the point. OF
course ! do not mean to say that the
entire board is on the list Aldermen
Meagher and Martel who voted to
grant our petition. are all right and
have been our friends since they have
held office The only remedy we have
is the ballot, and the time will come
when these men will regret their ac-
ton"
Such proved to be the opinion-of all
the labor men spoken With on the mat

We beg leave to ask a simple ques-
ton. Where are the thousands Of Gu
ban sympathizers who were aching to
go over filibustering to help the insur-
gents to carry them ammunition and
arms, If only the United States would
not set cutters and gunboats to head
them off. The door has been wide open
for these sympathizers to go for six
weeks now, and still they remain with
us. Indeed, It's said they are not to be
found in the ranks Of the United States
volunteers nor yet in the newly recruit
ed artillery regiments Of the standing
army. Fact is, Uncle Sam is to redeem
Cuba unaided by these roaring fighters
who were so furious while they were
chained, and are so dove-like now that
the latch string is on the outside.

A NEEDED CHANGE.

II we are to have a colonial policy,
the need for trained men to manage
colonial affairs will present itself bold
ly and undeniably. The simple truth is
that, with very rare exceptions, we have
not men who are by education, training
or experience, equal to representing the
Government abroad.
The war and its results must teach
US the absolute necessity Of establish
ing a school from which we can draw
men trained in diplomatic arts, capable
Of administering for the country
abroad. and for carrying out the ma
tional policy in such distant possessions
as we may have temporarily or per-
manently. The American politician
must no longer furnish us with men fof
these offices. If we are to maintain
our dignity and integrity abroad we
must call to our foreign offices men not
snatched suddenly from private walks.
not those pushing forward for reward
for party service, but men who have
served their time in Consular Minister
clerkship up to the highest secretary
ship, passing through all the years Of
experience abroad that are necessary to
fit one for diplomatic position.
We need, says a New York exchange,
treating of this subject, such a corps Of
administrators as England has in India,
Egypt, Burmah and in Jamaica We
need let us add, such a corps of men as
France trains for service in Africa, in
Cochin-China and in Tonqun. We need
a body of men similar to that which
Germany maintains in all her Consular
posts and in all her colonial possessions
men who do not correct mistakes, but
who do not make Them men who enter
the service in youth and are in the gray
of many years before they become
heads in colonial positions.
We must cut loose utterly from the
idea that these places abroad are to be
passed out to party servitors as re-
wards. That practice has humiliated
US so greatly, has cost us so much in
national honor, in cold cash and in the

The President has authorized an
amendment Of the civil service rules
80 that Government employe under
the service and having family, who
goes to the war; may select his own sub
stitute and divide the salary with him
while the absentee is in the army. The
present rules require that all vacancies,
both temporary and permanent, must
be filled from the eligible list, they also
prevent division of salaries as an in
ducement to secure an appointment.
Several men under the service drawing
salaries from 5000 to 81, 900 have en-
listed in the volunteers, where the pay
is but from $13 to $50 a month and
insufficient to support their families.
The new rule will also permit the vol
conclusion of his term of enlistment.
In many cases such volunteers have
made application to have their broth
ers, wives or friends, fill their places
while absent. But all such must of
course, pass the service examination,
and an agreement must be entered into
that the share of the volunteers sal
ary must be paid to his family during
his absence. The President was moved
to take this step because he thinks it
only fair that where men throw up per-
manent places under the service to en-
list in defense of their country, their
families should not suffer in conse-
quence of such patriotic spirit. This is
wise and commendable.

Intense Enthusiasm in New York

The following from the New York

pass IN columns of fours. The Color

loudly cheered at every point. Many

Twenty-second street and the North

boat Glen Island. Little time was lost

u. Greene led the column east through
Twenty-second street to Broadway
amid throngs that threatened constant
ly to delay the march seriously. Flags
waved everywhere, the air was vocal
with cheers and shouts. and the men
marched forward through a storm OF
applause The Color Sergeant car

under whose fold the Ninth Regiment
fought at Cedar Mountain, Antietam,
Mine River, Fredericksburg, Chancel-
lorsville, Gettysburg, and on many
other battlefields made red by the blood
of it's men. The old flag everywhere
aroused tumult Of enthusiasm. The
same scenes of vocal patriotism marked
the march of the Ninth down Broad

Franklin Smith, recent essayist,
holds that despotism is the invariable
product of war, and that this is as
immutable as the law of gravitation or
the persistence of force. We must
think, however, that this is dependent
upon the purpose had in view in max
ing war. When it is defensive of hu-
man right, promotive of human liberty
and the uplifting of mankind, it is like
the thunder storm that clears the at
mosphere and makes mems perceptions
clearer concerning the rights of men
and their true place in the scheme Of
creation. Peace is certainly the most
powerful factor in civilization, but wal
may be the ally and promoter Of peace.

There are many things in which the

is desirable. But there are things in
which the two great nations move
abreast, and by no one has this been
more trenchantly or as comprehensive

1t is said that no city in the Union
has ever made such a display of ma
tional colors and flags as is now to be
seen in every part of New York. Yet
we are told that it is "a disloyal city"
In that town whenever the national an

and remain standing until the song is
concluded or the band ceases playing
the air. Yet we are told by pessimists
that New York is a disloyal city. 1t
turns out now that the trouble in one
volunteer regiment in that city was not
due to the unpatriotic conduct of the
regiment but to the political manipula-
tions of the Governor Of the State. And
yet, because Of this incident, we are
told that New York is a disloyal city.
There are banks and bankers, stock
