made everything and everything God made was

The Roof Garden Season.

Since the appearance OF the first roof
garden. eighteen years ago, establishments
Of that sort in New York city have had
Il somewhat intermittent career OF pop
ularity. One year they yield large profits
to their conductors, II not to their project
ors, and another year they incur consid-
cradle loss. This summer, at the close OF
June, there are already seven roof gardens
open to the public on July 1 there will be
another, bringing up the total to eight, O
larger number than in any previous sea-
SON. From this circumstance it may be
inferred that this special form OF sum-
mer amusement has become permanently
established in New York, despite the OBJ
stacles OF unfavorable weather and tho
rivalry OF out-of-town amusements.
The local conditions for the success OF
roof garden amusements arc generally
favorable New York has always had n
large transient population in midsummer.
AS the port Of departure for Europe and
the point OF railroad connection for all
summer resorts on or near the Atlantic
seaboard, its transient population grows
larger each year The competition Of the
regular theatres no longer affects the roof
garden attendance, for the theatres, almost
without exception, close In May or June
instead OF July, as was once the rule. The
roof garden being q place OF amusement
almost peculiar to New York. the number
OF performers available for engagement Is
ample, and the opportunities for n desr-
able selection OF novelties are good.
Tho roof garden season of 1890 has
opened auspiciously. The number Of New
Yorks summer attractions has never been
inconsiderable, but our eight roof gardens
will count for much among the recreations
OF the city while warm weather lasts.

Premature II Not Pernicious.

Newspaper discussion OF alleged plans to
enlarge tho Cabinet by adding thereto n
Secretary Of Colonial Affairs and Foreign
Commerce forces the season.
Tho form OF tho permanent machinery for
the administration of affairs in our new
possessions will DO determined ultimately
by Congress- The system OF admnistra-
ton will grow naturally out Of tho condl-
lions that the future develops.
Perhaps it may be necessary to set up n
new executive department; perhaps not.
1t Is reasonably certain, however, that for
some time to come tho immediate respon-
sibiity for the management Of Porto Rico
and tho Philippines will remain with the
War Department.
Until the time arrives for the change from
military to civil methods OF control, 1t is
premature and idle, and therefore perni-
cious, to speculate much as to the exact
character of the metamorphosis, or as to
the exact style to be bestowed upon the
civil authority concerned.
Under no circumstances are we likely to
witness the erection OF Colonial" Depart
ment, or Colonial" Secretary In the
English fashion. Nor, again, OF n Depart
ment and Secretary OF the Exterior.

Is GuffeY in tho Tunnel2

Some OF our Democratic contemporaries
in Pennsylvania accept unhestatingly the
report Of q compact between the Hon. WILL
LIAM F. HARRITY and Col JAMES NJ. GUT
FEY to cooperate in an attempt to control
the Pennsylvania delegation to the next
national convention Of the Democracy, and
to use that delegation to defeat BRYAN and
upset the platform of 1895.
The programme, according to common
report, Is to send HARRTTY to the conven-
ton as a delegate-at-large and to reGlect
Col. GUFFEY as the Pennsylvania member
of the National Committee The unit rule
is to be employed to enforce the ideas which
Mr.. GoRMAN represents at the present time
in the politics OF that party.
We observe much more interest In tho
Guffcy end Of tho reported partnership
than in the Harrity end OF 1t. HARRITY
has been read out Of the party already on
occasions too numerous to mention. For
example, the York Press now speaks Of
HARRITY as a statesman who does not
belong to the Democratic party. and can
neither help nor hurt It."
Col. GUFFEY, on the other hand, Is at
present an object Of tender and somewhat
melancholy solicitude on the part Of tho
stalwart Bryanites, rather than OF indiffer-
ence or abuse. We quote from the same
Bryanite authority:
Mr.. HARRrrY's power in the party outside his
secret control of the nondescrpt Philadelphia dele
cation ceased with his desertion in 90. Mr. Cur

according to his own conduct In tho important po-
sition to which he was assigned by MIR. BRYAS's
friends in the profound faith that he would in
respect follow Mr.. HAnRIrY's evil example, But
Democrats from tho Ohio to tho Delaware will be
deeply interested in the denial or tho explanation
which Mr.. GurYEY shall have to make touching
these alleged dealings against the life liberty and
principles OF the Democratic party"
All Of these suspicious and apprehensions
and recriminatons are in consequence OF
the hopeless effort OF few soreheaded and
schcming politicians in the East to under
mine the ground on which stands the
Democratic structure Of three years ago
The great question with the loyal Bryan
ties Of Pennsylvania just now Is this 10

the war between England and Russia in
1861 which compelled the withdrawal OF
the British troops from it's territory just at
the moment Its subjugation appeared
to bc about accomplished. Tho difficulty
would DO for tho Orange Fee state
to remain neutral even IL its convention
with the Transvaal, which it is true, Is only
conditional, did not exist. The profound
mistrust entertained Of the designs OF Mr..
RHODES, supported by Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN,
Is the bond OF union between all the Dutch
of South Africa whether In the colonies or
separated States. The people OF the Orange
Free State have no certainty that their
independence would be secure after that OF
the Transvaal was irrecoverably gone, and
SO would he compelled to stand by the
latter in sclf-lefence.
1t Is against these obstacles that Lord
SALISBURY and his Government have to
contend. Tho situation Is really not so
simple as 1t looks at first glance. The
way in which the Bond party at the last
elections in Cape Colony managed to de-
tach considerable portion OF the native
vote to their side, contributed in certain
measure to their success and 1t Is the In
fuence exercised over the natives through
out South Africa by this fact to which Mr..
CHAMBERLAIN no doubt alluded.
1t remains to be seen whether the Gordian
knot into which South African affairs has
become tangled Is to he unravclled by diplo-
macy and negotiation, or will have TO he
cut by the sword.

The French Consul at Manila, Mr. G.. BE-

the economic and commercial situation In
the Philippines and about some OF tho Amer
lean plans for developing the islands. The

1t seems clear from the latest summary
OF the negotiations over temporary
Alaska boundary that progress has been
made although at the final stage there is
still an obstacle. Great Britain, or, In other
words, the Dominion, wants the temporary
line on the Dalton trail to DO run Just be-
low Klukwan, whereas our Government In
sists that it shall run above that place.
Klukwan is an Indian village, situated on
Chilkat Inlet, the westernmost Of the water
ways at the head oflLynn Canal. About par
allel to this and only short distance east Is
Chilkoot Inlet, this latter forking so as to give
two more water entrances to the overland
route to the Yukon, on the easternmost OF
which are our towns OF Dyea and Skagway.
1t would appear that an agreement has
been easily reached as to the eastern and
central passes, respectively known as tho
White and the Chilkoot, the modus rirenh
line going where the Canadian Custom
Houses are now, and leaving us the valuable
navigation Of the inlets. But the Dominion
has made n fight for the control OF tho
westernmost or Chilkat Inlet.
At the entrance of this last Is our settle
ment Of Pyramid Harbor and the first Dro-
posal OF the Dominion was that this should
be coded to her. inasmuch as we had Dyea
and Skagway. This we could not allow. IA
1t would give Canada port on Lynn Canal.
1t was to be only modus rirendi, without
prejudice to our claim OF full thirty nau-
tical miles from the windings OF the shore
line under the treaty, but we could not,
even for temporary purposes, permit our
control Of that shore to be broken at a
single point.

The Aim of the lists

The true anlmating spirit Of tho Anti

Mr.. WINSLow WARREN, one OF tho most
prominent OF the clique at Boston,

one else says We are fighting the battle OF liberty.
aud we are not influenced by tho fact that 1t bene-

hoping for the overthrow OF tho Administration SO

That is free confession OF exactly what
"Anti-Impcrialism is but the revelation
was unnecessary. The real inspiration OF tho
gangs pretended sympathy for the Dec
laraton OF Independence has been obvious
from tho first. Tho Anti-Imperlalist
League" is a conspiracy OF few can

with Spain into contempt. destroy its
fruits and make its expenditure of patriotic

conspirators who are working up the plot
do not care whom else 1t benefits. whether
friend or foe. That Is why GoDKIN and
every other malignant renegade in the
country Is enamored or the scheme.
They are all thick and thin allies and abet-
tors OF AGUINALDo, because, like them

Tho students Of the University Of Chicago

which has formed an important and some
times decisive factor In tho athletic contests
In which the represen tatives OF that institution
engage. Its favorite tune has been "A Hot

OF this melody on the baseball or football score
Is thus described by the Chicago Tribune;

most potent influence in rushing . discouraged

and has pitched the key OF the Civilizations over tho

The exclusion OF "A Hot Time" from tho
repertory OF the Chicago University band. by
order Of the faculty, has occasioned almost as
much excitement in the Windy City as the ap-
pearnnce Of Fra dorado TAFT's nymphs OF the

authorities object to the tune on the ground
that its spiritual effect is not uplifting and its
ethical influence points the wrong way" and
1t has been decreed that "A Hot Time" shall
no longer "be used by the band In connection

A Prediction by a jew.

Rabbi MENDEs said to graduating class
Of Jewish theological students, on Tuesday,
that twenty-five to fifty years ago the
whole Jewish world was riven with cries
of orthodoxy and reform" but II can see, ="
he added, "a far more terrible contest in
the future"
Whatever he may have meant specifically
by this prediction, 1t seems inevitable that
there Is to occur contest in the Jewish
world of character similar to that
which is proceeding in the Christian
world Not merely Christians but Jews
also have been affected profoundly
by the 1criticism which reduces the
Scriptures to tho level OF merely human
literature and destroys wholly their super
natural character Tho Law, under this
criticism, becomes merelya law formulated
by men in an uncnlightened stage, and 1t
is OF curious interest rather than religious
obligation for their successors at this pc
Rod OF far advanced intelligence. The
"chosen people" who accept this new view
OF the Scriptures lose all religious incen-
tive to maintain their race separation.
When their prophets become simply dis
corning statesmen in their eyes, like LIN
COLIN, for instance, what force will the
prophecies for their race have for them2
Already very many OF the moro thor
oughly educated Jews, trained In our great
universities, are pure agnostcs. They do
not believe anything that Is not naturally
demonstrate. They have no supernatural
faith. The Law for them has lost all its au-
thority, and In their lives some Of them
be seen by any observer ut hotels and pub
lie restaurants. 1t is all child's play. to
their agnostic thinking.
The results Of this complete lapse Of faith
may we'll be looked forward to with alarm
by believing jew for the prevalence Of
such state OF mind In the race would
presage the downfall Of the barrier which
makes Of the Jews a peculiar people.

British Prestige in Africa.

The speech OF the British Colonial Sccrc-
tary, Mr.. JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, at Bir-
mingham on Monday evening, is chiefly
remarkable for the manner in which it lays
bare the sore spot in tho relations between
England and the Transvaal. The real cause
OF the present troubleis shown to be not tho
e'ectora. rights Of taxpaying and unen-
franchised Uitanders but the diminishing
prestige of England all over South Africa,
through the continued resistance OF the
Beers OF tho Transvaal to the exercise OF
british suzerainty in their internal affairs,
the right to exercise which was expressly
renowned by Lord DERBY in the convcn-
ton Of 1884.
That the natives should regard the Beers
and not tho British as the paramount
power in South Africa Is not surprising II,
as Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN said, England has
been four times on the verge OF war with
the Transvaal, yet has not declared war.
The natives would naturally attribute
Englands abstcntion from attacking the
Beers to fear rather than to reasons Of
policy, and it Is not improbable that the
Beers would encourage them in that
belief Whatever the reasons, 1t is GER
tain that native opinion during the last
year or two has leaned strongly to the
side OF tho Beers, and some OF tho
writer's IN the Kafllr papers have ex-
pressed anti-BritIsh sentiments in no un-
certain language. Tho treatment of the
natives in Rhodesia by the armed forces of
the Chartered Company and the deporta-
ton OF thousands OF BcChuanas after the
late disturbance in BeChuanaland, to serve
as indenturcd labOrers In Cape Colony, have
also contributed to alcnate native scnti-
ment from their British rulers. Events
have thus played into the hands OF the
Beers. who have not been slow to take adj
vantage OF them.
There Is no reason to doubt the sincerity
OF the professions OF either President
KRtGER or Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN, when they
say they desire peaceful solution OF the
dispute between them. There is every
reason why they should desire peace. But
as that would mean surrender OF some
thing on both Sides English prestige would
still remain the chief sufferer, owing to
previous surrendcrs without equivalent.
The position OF Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN is there
fore more difficult one than that of Presl-
dent KRtGER, although President KRrGER,
for his part, will feel bound to preserve all
the advantages OF position he enjoys in fact
or appearance for Boer prestige Is now as
much In play as tho British.
Another question which has not as yet
been brought into the field, but which will
arise so soon as it is seen that war is in
evltable, Is the position Of the Orange Free
State. The absolute independence enjoyed
by that State Is due to the interposition Of
