The unrest that has prevailed more or
less all over British India since the out
break of the famine and plague Is culmi-
mating in disorders, the worst being that
last reported from Bombay. In this last
case the gravity of the situation Is made
greater through cooperation of the hitherto
discordant elements, the Hindoos and Mus.
sulmans, against the British authorities.
They appear to have sunk their mutual
antagonism for union against the attack
upon their religious and social preju-
diccs by the regulations put in force
regarding the spread of the disease that
Is decimating the population of many
of the large cities and towns. The cause
would seem to be hat the British authori-
ties, for political reasons, prefer to act
through their own agents and in their own
way, rather than with the assistance of
the influential and educated natives. The
result is that the ignorant and poorer
classes, receiving no advice or guidance
from their natural leaders, are giving way
to excuses that must have the most
deplorable results. At the same time
British rule is weakened by the resentment
reused against 1t both among the educated
and ignorant classes, who, though for the
m kept apart by force, will undoubt.
edly come together sooner or later in secret
understanding.
That the British Government itself sees
cause for apprehension in the condition of
India is shown by the present abandonment
Of the forward policy on the northwest
frontier. The British regiments that
formed part of the force operating against
the Afridis have been dispersed to their
various garrisons, and the contingents fur
nishcd by the semi-independent native
princes have returned to their respective
States. In n recent debate in the House
Of Lords, Lord Roberts of Kapdahar,
urged the prosecution Of the forward
policy as necessary to the safety of
India against Russian aggression but
his arguments met with no encourage
ment from the Government, which has
apparently come to the conclusion that the
present is not an opportune moment for
adventures in the Hindo Kush and among
the Afghan Mountains. The most strin.
gent and drastic laws to put down disatfec-
tion have been passed and the Post Office
has been put under surveillance at the
same time military measures have been
taken to quell the first attempts at organ
lied revolt But none of these has vet

When n delegation representing the
Irish patriotic societies waited on Mayor
A WICK on Wednesday to make the
customary request that the Mayor would
review the st. Patrick's Day parade
next Thursday, he replied that, though
sympathizing with the purpose of the
demonstration, he was compelled in this
case, as also in the case of the Holland
Society, of which he has long been an
active member, and of other similar social
organizations, to forego participation on nc
count Of the pressure of his official duties.
This excuse, oftentimes used by public
functionaries MS a polite way of escape, Mr..
VAN WICK may well give with the justi-
fication of entire sincerity. He has alb
stained from many of the incidental con-
ventional social duties performed by former
Mayors, in attending banquets, reviewing
parades, and appearing at various public
functions, because of the onerous and in.
creasing duties now imposed by law on the
Mayor of New York. The addition to the
area of the city has put upon him alone
the duties which devolved previously on
the Mayors of Brooklyn and Long Island
City, and the local officers of Staten Island
ana OF queens county towns.
The system, established or extended by
the charter. of boards or commissions
with initlatory or supervisory power over
public Improvements and the public ex.
penses necessary to their prosecution,
has added enormously to the routine
duties and responsibilities of the Mayor
of New York. He is an executive officer;
lie is a magistrate, under section 1l6 of the
charter; he possesses and is empowered TO
exercise, in some particulars, the duties of
the Chief and deputy Chiefs of the Police
Department, under section 12l; he is
an advisory member of sundry special
boards and commissions, the Art Com.
mission and the Board of city Record,
for instance; moreover, he has a veto
power on measures adopted by the Munich.
pal Assembly, which has succeeded to many
of the duties formerly devolving upon the
Legislature. Nor does this complete the
list OF his multifarious duties. Upon all

interests Of New York are numerous, the
statute provides that there shall be a pub

lie hearing, and it's made 1.-THE duties

hearing and also to hold IL actually, q duty
which during the tendency Of Legislative
sessions Ia not only onerous, but also re-
quires much time which a Mayor might
otherwise devote to other purposes In the
public interest. In no respect have the duties
of the Mayor of New York been liRhtened by
law either through. the Constitution or the
charter. but in many respects, as we have
shown, they have been increased even
apart from the natural addition consequent
upon the mere consolidation Of territory in
the Greater New York.
When, therefore, Mayor VAN WICK told
the delegation of patriotic Irlshmen on
Wednesday that because Of the pressure Of
official duties he was unable to spare the
time to review the 81. Patrick's Day parade,
he spoke simple truth, for at present only
by the greatest assiduity can a Mayor Of
New York perform even the routine duties

allayed discomfort, and the plague appeaFs
to be assuming more malignant forms, due
to the enfeebled condition Of the people
from want of sufficient food.
Recent information direct from India de-
scribes the relations between It's British
rulers and tho natives of all races and
creeds as becoming less and less cordial.
Ono writer says: "Things are going down
hill at express speed. The reaction Is
tremendous, but most Of us yet believe that
the British nation will soon stop the mad

this. We are still in IN infant state polit-
ically, and our distractions and difficulties
lave not yet been bridged over. In one
word, 1t will take much time yet to become

American speed in all directions. just
at present. in every department, meas.
ures have been taken, which, II carried out,
will bring us back to the state in which we
were before the British came here. We
shall be under an absolute despotism."
The above, written by a native gentle
man OF education and position, displays
no hostility toward the British people,
connection with whom he regards as es.
sential to the progress and development Of
his country. There is every reason to be-
lieve that the Same sentiments animate all
intelligent Indians. The best policy there

A Thousand Millions Moroi

The sum Of $50, 900, 900, appropriated for
defence by the National Government, out'of
money at the time in the Treasury, is n
portentous blow against the ambition OF
any impoverished nation, like Spain, to
make war upon us. But the fifty millions
made scarcely a drop In the bucket OF re-
sources ready at hand for the United States
to pour from in case war should come.
A thousand millions could be had to-mor-

Rress and In the Administration should
decide that they were needed. And still an
other five hundred millions could be added

One Of the causes most efficient In keep
ing alive the sentiment In favor of free silver
coinage in this country is tho recklessness OF its
advocates in disseminating misstatements of
fact in regard to the working OF the gold stand
ard. For example, the Hon. HANNIs TAYLOR,
recently our Minister at Madrid. said. in a
speech which he delivered at Mobile on March
3. instant, Introducing the Hon. w. J. BRYAN,
that I'VE are confronted with n condition that
affects adversely all toages. all property Of
every kind, excepting only those investments
that yield n revenue axed In amount but
ever increasing in relative value" This adverse
effect he went on to attribute to tho act Of
1873, closing our minis to silver. Mr.. TAYLOR
ought to know. and probably docs know, that
wages in this country. under tho gold standard,
arc now higher by 40 per cent. than they ever
were when our minis were open to silver. and
that never before in our history has the revenue
from fixed Investments been so small. To give
currency to q belief to the contrary is mischiev-
Gus, and in q public man 1t 10 disgraceful.

It became known generally yesterday tia,
the name Of the new freboat building for tbi,
city in Camden had been changed from William
L. Strong to Robert A. Van Wyck, and tho an.
nouncement made talk. The boat was launched
last fall. and Mayor Strong's name was bestowed
upon 1t by his Fire Commissioners. They wro,s
n letter to the Mayor telling him about II, and
to show his interest in tho boat Mayor Stronv
commissioned President Sheffield to buy for her
a full set of colors as fine as could be found
President Sheffield did 80 and Col. Strong paid
the bill. H
Soon after Commissioner Scannell succeeded
the. Old board he received a letter from tbs
builders of the boat askingif the name William
telling them that the boat should be named
Robert A: Van Wyck, and the builders acted
accordingly.
Commissioner Scannell said yesterday tina,
there is already one boat in the harhor. ovnssSs
by the Charities Department, bearing tho eI.
Mayors name.
Ono Strong is enough" he said. II wouldn't
name her Strong under any circumstances"
Then the Commissioner called to mind the fact
that ho spent several years of hard work getting

spain's Naval Movements.

The fact that within a few weeks the
powerful armored cruisers Vizcaya and
Oquendo have Joined the Alfonso XII. and
the other vessels at Havana, and that at
Cadiza squadron is fitting out for the same
destination, have naturally attracted at
~tention. The Cadiz force includes the ar
morcd cruiser Cristobal Colon. four torpedo
boats, among them being the well-known
Ariete INT Rayo, and, it is said, an auxil-
iary cruiser. A transport recently reached
Havana with 800 troops and another is
on the way with 300. When the ship-of-
the-line Pelayo is ready, as she soon will
be, with the cruiser Alfonso XIII. and the
repaired battleships Vitoria and Numancia,
and when the Carlos V. completes the bat
terry which she is now taking aboard, we
shall perhaps see more warships proceed
ing to the Cuban capital.
All this is wholly natural. Our Key
West fleet under Admiral SICARD is so
vastly superior to the Spanish squadron Mt
Havana, and to that squadron as it will be
when reinforced by the Cadiz contingent,
that Spain must be anxious as to her
ability to hold that port. The Madrid
Government, we may be sure, is thinking

York or any other American port than
about the safety. of it's own base on this
side OF the Atlantic, the capture of which
would be the end of the Spanish hold on
Cuba, as well as of the ability to carry on
military and naval operations against us.
That, too, is not the only problem for
Spain. Manila IS in as much danger as
Havana, with our naval preponderance in
the Pacific, while the presence of the San
Francisco, the Helena, and the Bancroft
at Lisbon must suggest to her that she,
too, has a seaboard to protect. What
ever she moves across the Ad will
he exposed to the raids of our nying
squadrons, and, in fact, should war be de-.
clared while her CadiZ torpedo boats or the
two from the Clyde were crossing, they
would stand n chance of being gathered into
our navy. 1t is the defensive, we believe,
that is just now occupying SPANS atten-
tion in her nava movements.
