Jusr what MIR. Croker mesns by this
conspicuous demonstration in the face
Of the expressed policy Of his party in
Congress, is not understood. BE has
frequently declared himself an ex-
pansIonist and has furnished several
interviews to the New YORK papers OF
late In favor Of retaining the Philip
pine Islands and be, no doubt, reflects
the sentiment Of the New York peo-
pie. The other night at one OF the
big banquets Of business men Mr.
Croker made a speech against ex-
pansion, which was received with
painful silence. he was followed by
Mr.. Tenny, ex-distzict attorney Of
Brooklyn, who advocated the reten-
ton Of the Philippines and everything
else we could lay our hands on. The
frst utterance Of this sentiment wa
followed BY the widest kind Of cheer
ing and The waving Of napkins. IL d
iocuIarly suggested that Mr.. Crokel
10 preparing 10 take Tammany Hal
into the Republican party and let Mr.
Hoar 20 with the Democrats. 1t !
safe to cay that neither Mr.. Cleveland
nor ex-senator Hill win be invited q
Mr.. croker's party, because they d.
not believe in expansion any NOR
than they believe In Croker, and Mr

By his presence. Mr. German ha

ALL PULLING TOGETHER.
From the MOberiy Monitor.

from NE MOocfly MonAtot.
A close reader of the Mexico papers
can see that the people Of our neigh
boring city are determined to come up
to the full measures Of their opportun-
ities. The columns Of these papers are
full of suggestions and plans, not only
for the physical, but for the mental
and moral development Of their city.
While some OF these suggestions are
visionary and impractical, many Of
them are based upon sound business
principles and are worthy of sincere
consideration. They are all valuable
however, in that they indicate that the
people Of Mexico are alive and are
trying 10 do all they cant to make theiI
town what benencent nature hal
made 1t possible to be. oo-operator
is the secret OF success, and when al
the people Of 8 community have {
common aim, that community may bs
called blessed.

people would be beIpfal. The columns

tions as to what would be for cur In
