The New Park Board.

BY the Greater New York charter it was
provided, against the advice OF various ex-
perts, that the three Commissioners in the
Park Board should practically form throe
Commissions. The first result Of this was
that the board meetings through which the
public used to become informed Of schemes
considered by the Commission came to an
end. Any job can now be put through
without a chance for public protest. The
Landscape Architect, designed by the char
ter to be a check upon Ignorance and van
| dalism, has been so selected "a to be a

Of Mr.. RICHARD CROKER, have faithfully

The Newfoundland Fisheries Question.

The Government OF Newfoundland has
appealed by cable to the imperial authori-
ties for vigorous action to maintain the
rights Of the colony against the encroach-
mcnts OF the French fishermen on the west
coast OF the island The long-pending
trouble has again assumed a more acute
phase and the difficulty OF reconciling the
conflicting claims and interests becomes
very great. A brief statement OF the nature
and present aspect OF the dispute will
make 1t easier to follow the news de-
spatches.
When the French in 1913, by the treaty
Of Utrecht, surrendered to the British most
of their claims to Newfoundland they re-
served the right to catch and dry fish along
the west and part Of the north coasts
| They have since advanced no territorial
claims, but have insisted upon their right
to establish fishing and drying stations at
any convenient point on the west shore and
| on the north coast as far east as Cape st.
| John, that is to say, on what Is commonly
known as the French or treaty shore.
| The Observation-Disclosures have denied the right
of the French TO monopoize the whole or
| any part Of the coast or to establish them
selves wherever they pleased. The ques-
ton at issue thus relates to the extent OF
| the privileges granted to France under the
treaty OF Utrecht and later treaties. The
evaporation of the co!onlsts keeps pace
with the growth OF the French industry,
which has nearly doubled in the past twelve
years and now employs about / 900 men,
France offered, in 1873, to surrender all
right to establish stations along the south
west coast of the island from Cape Ray to
Cape st. George about seventy-five miles,
in exchange for certain territories in the
| Pacific. The 5lonists would not listen to

One Will Do for All.

What we here address to the Philadelphia
Times applies to almost all contemporaries
which, as partisans Of Admiral ScHLEY,
have recently vilifed THE Sun.
On June 10. after Admiral SCHLEy had
caused to be published from Lieutenant
Commander HoDGsoN's communications to
himself the part that seemed to prove The
Sun guilty OF Justification, the Times. re-
garding the question as closed by the Hodg-
son statement which SCHLEY put forward,
demanded that The Sun confess the falsi-
ty OF the Infamous scandal" Lieutenant
Commander HoDGsoN has clinched the lie.
Will THE Sun tell the truth ?" said our con-
temporary.
Like various other members OF what We
will call the "Schley conspiracy OF news
papers" which, against evidence plain as
the alphabet, have persstently maintained
that the charges OF incompetency and in
subordination standing against SCHLEY in
the name Of the Navy Department were
"trumped up" accusing Secretary LoNd
OF official persecution and SAMPSON OF an act
of positive dishonesty the Times brought
| against THE Sun the gross charge Of fabrl-
| eating the Schley Hodgson colloquy.
The final proof that 1t was no fabrication
or, to quote HoDGsoN that it was Sub
stantislly correct" and that SCHLEY in
suppressing the vital half OF the Hodgson
correspondence DELIBERATELY sought to make
the public believe an untruth in his own
favor, was printed in the newspapers OF
| June 20.
Yet all that the Philadelphia Times has
done since SCHLEY was so proven guilty
and THE Sun so justified in Its statement
concerning him. has been to publish an
article on 1.-THE gadfles which have been
buzzing around SCHLEY ever since the bat
tie Of Santiago"

The Reaction OF a Nasty Trick.

For several days the letter procured from
Mr.. HoDGsoN by Rear Admiral ScHLEY
served tho purpose which the Rear Admiral
intended II to serve
1t was accepted for what 1t seemed to be
on It's face, namely. denial that the re-
ported dialogue ever occurred and conclu-
sive proof. therefore, that THE sun had
persistently uttered fabrication
The letter would have continued to serve
the Rear Admirals purpose indefinitely II
Lieutenant-C Commander BoDGsoN had not
been an honest man.
Believing that he was an honest man, and
knowing the whole truth about the manner
IN which the letter was procured The Sun
has been able to stand with reasonable equa-
nimty such remarks on the part OF it's fair
minded contemporaries az we're based on a
natural. If mistaken, supposition that the
letter closed the case.
The effect OF the revelation OF Rear Adj
nirai SCHLEYs personal methods, not less
than the complete overturning OF the evil
dence supposed to dsprove the coloquy, is
now becoming very apparent in the columns
Of the American press and it is with graft
tication that we reprint this morning some
illustrations Of the same.

Some City Employees Organize.

preliminary organization OF city en-
ployees was formed at the Brooklyn City
Hall on Thursday, with officers. bylaws
and a schedule OF dues. 1t was designed, later
on to include generally, minor municipal
employees In New York's service. The os-
tensible purposes OF this organization are
to secure better treatment for city SER
wants, to compel the enforcement OF laws
made for their protection, and acquies-
cence In regulations devised for their re-
tention in office during good behavior,
their promotion II deserving, the increase
OF pay and, in some cases. the pensioning
Of employees Of long service. The new or
ganization, amiable as may seem to be some
OF its objects, may lead later on, to serious
difficulties.
Much has been done by the Legislature,
by the Constitutional Convention OF 1894,
the courts and by local officials toward
making secure the tenure OF municipal off,
Gals. But their title to employment Ia not
inherent in themselves, but proceeds from
the public employing them. In the Police
Department the evils OF a secret and sepa-
rate organization Of this sort have been re-
vealed, and II would be matter OF injus-
tice to the public service and to the public
II allegiance to an organization not recog-
hized by law Is to be permitted to outweigh
obligations to duty.
This Is not an oppOrtune time for the
agitation OF the question OF pensions for
municipal offlceholders or for additional
nav

the proposal. They wanted either the en-
tire withdrawal OF the French or their
definite restriction to a small number OF
drying stations They said the French
proposition would leave their fishermen at
liberty practically to monopolize the shores
OF the Bay Of Islands, Bonnie Bay and others
Of the best centres OF the herring industry,
and that II the French retained their
alleged rights on parts OF the coast that
were rich in mineral wealth these mines
would remain unworked, just as the entire
west coast was still undeveloped, simply be-
cause the French were there.
The friction between the conflicting In
terests Ia incessant The French are estab-
fishing stations along the southwest coast
where the Observation-Disclosures have many
lobster factories; scarcely a Frenchman
lands without protest from the colonists.
The French assert that the Newfoundland
ers aided and abettcd by British men-of-
war, are continually trying to prevent them
from exercising their rights. They, there
fore, assert themselves the more strenu-
| ously, and where they see an English sta
tion they are likely to put up French
establishment (; so all along the coast there
are French stations, unrecognized by any
British authority, confronting the English
fishing establishments. The Newfoupd-
landers feel all the more aggrieved because
their fisheries, which are their mainstay, are
almost wholly confined to their coasts and
Labrador, while the Americans and French
nearly monopolize the Grand Banks.
This unpleasant state OF affairs was be-
uueathed from former generations, and Il Is
high time to relieve situation that is GER
tainly detrimental to Newfoundland and
most unsatisfactory to all concerned.
