The santo Domingo situation.

While there is no positive reason that
the public knows of TO anticipate any i'm
mediate danger of foreign interference in
the affairs of Haiti, or Santo Domingo, it
need not be forgotten that, but short time
ago. Germany collected a claim against the
Haitians at Port au Prince under threat of
bombardment.
1t may be the memory Of that episode
which has started the rumor that the
Kaiser is inclined to intervene in the
situation resulting from Heureaux's s
murder. We are not prepared to assume
any such intention on the part of Ger
many. The Berlin Foreign Office of late
has shown a commendable disposition to
treat the United States in a friendly man.
ner. 1t knows that nothing could be bet
ter calculated to destroy the good under
standing between the countries than some
movement of interference in the affairs OF
the Antilles. At the same time, 1t is I'M
possible for US 10 escape the truth that, If
we viii not allow European States to med
die with local disturbances and revolu-
tions on this side of the Atlantic, such an

which the worlds opinion, interests, and,
ultimately, combined force, will not allow
US to ignore or evade.
These barbarcus little anarchies, mis-
named republics, on the Island of Santo
Domingo close to our territory, have been
eyesores to civilization for generations.
We cannot afford to let them exist under
present conditions any longer. 1t is alb
solutely certain that If the United States
do not compel them to behave themselves
and maintain peace and order, the pro-
lection of outIand lives and property and
the integrity of international relations, the
right to do the same thing will be assumed
by one or a coalition of Old World powers,
in spite OF American sentiment and the
Monroe doctrine.
We are glad, therefore. that the Gov
ernment has been prompt in despatching
war vessels to the scene Of probable dis
turbance. 1t is TO be hoped that the force

Gnge nnd the Reform League.

The open letter OF Mr.. George McAneny,
Secretary Of the Civil Service Reform
League, to Secretary Gage, elsewhere pub
lished. ought to be good evidence to the
latter that controversial writing is not his
particular forte, and that it would have
been better for him IL he had left Mr.. Nc
Kinley to get out of the woods of his spoils
order in some way other than through the
assistance Of his Chicago friend.
Mr.. McAneny clearly convicts Mr.. Gage
of misstatements and distortion of facts,
which we are willing to believe have been
approximately unconscious. For example,
in the Secretary's letter of July IA, where
he refers to the charge that removals Of
deputy collectors had been frequently made
in the internal revenue service contrary to
the civil service rules legally in force, he
says:
Very few removals of any kind have been made,
and when made they have been in strict con-
for1nity with the Presidents order OF July q,
1897, which requires, antecedent to removal, the
filing Of charges and the opportunity for de-
fence.
In response to this statement Mr.. Nc
Anery shows from the records Of the Civil
Service Commission that removals were
made by the collectors at Richmond, Va,
Nashville. Tenn, and Dallas, Tex, without
any pretence OF charges. notice, or any
thing else, and notoriously for political
reasons. In the cases cited, although the
discharged officials were clearly entitled to
redress under the plain terms of the Exec
utive order, they and their grievances were
ignored by the Treasury authorities.
We need not further review the calm,
dispassionate, and carefully courteous open
letter, which, nevertheless. contains tell
ing indictment of the Administration for
its completely hypocritical and dishonest
treatment of the merit system and the law
and ethics behind it. The document tells
its own story and is well worth serious
consideration.

A Word for Tnmmnny.

Some unwise gentlemen in New York,
calling their corporate existence by the
sounding title Of the State Committee OF
the Chicago Platform Democracy, have
read OUT Tammany Hall from the party
After reciting the well-known fact that
Tammany ''repudiated the national plat
form in 1897, and nominated as Its candi-
date for mayor of New York one who had
not openly supported the party In 1885,"
these gentlemen grayely proceed with
plan for the reputation OF Tammany by
the national Democracy, promising in re-
turn delegation to the next national con-
yention firmly committed to the reafirma-
tion of the Chicago platform and the re-
nomination of william Jennings Bryan. The
pledge of course. is as gratifying as the
title of the organization which makes It is
allurins. But what could these gentlemen
do for the platform or the candidate IL they
should succeed in driving Tammany out OF
the party? That is a question which thei,
agitation causes to appeal with force to
practical minds.
Tammany represents the strongest or
ganized fighting spirit of the Democracy
east of the Alleghanies and north of the
Potomac In the highly improbable event
OF its alienation from the party, what as
surance could its enemies, like "the New
York State Democracy of the Chicago Plat
FORM" give of substituting something for
It that would be 1.-THE as effective?
Viewed from the standpoint of the politi-
cal moral reformer. there are many things
in its methods which do not make Tamma-
ny admirable. But as an organization to
be depended upon for results in politics.
there is no force in national life as admira-
BILE as Tammany. The society has an un-
broken record OF fighting loyalty to Demo-
cratic platforms and candidates that
stretches back almost to the foundation OF
| the Republic. 1t can be said never to have
nominated the candidate or TO have framed
the platform on which the party has swept
| the country. II can also as truthfully be
| said never to have defeated q candidate or
platform of the national Democracy. On
this latter score the further claim is based
| in historical truth that Tammany has never
| opposed the national candidate or platform
OF the party. Nor is there the remotesl
| likelihood that Tammany viii be untrue tc
| its unbroken record in 1900.
| Why, therefore, should any thoroughly
| sane Democrat ciamor for the "elimina-
| ton of Tammany? Its factionai enemies

| in the light of recent events. If they expect
| to enlist the aid of Bryan in their efforts
at reading Tammany out" Mr.. Bryan

son OF his position to do most Of the things that
make lie worth living. His only occupation
has been opening fairs with his presence and
perhaps 4 speech, setting the style in masculine.
and possibly feminine, clothes, and attending
races, bird-shoots and dinners. No regular life.
no personal friends with whom he associate

whatever he does, all his acts watched, and

times when he pretends to. On smaller scale

Exrer,s In Chirogrn,hy.

(From the New Orleans Times Democrat)
az am free to say l don't repose much conf
dence in bank clerks as experts in handwriting"
said an experienced paying teller OF this city.
81 Inean of course, experts in the broad ac-
ccptance Of the term. The average teller becomes
familiar with the signatures Of the customers
of his bank, and in time he acquires 4 re-
rnarkable facility for memorizing the character
istes of any autograph on sight; that doesn't
make him a scientific expert in chirography
In nine cases out of ten his opinion as to
whether two documents, for instance, were writ
ten by the same man, would have no special
value. and for that reason great deal of the
so-caIed expert evidence received in court is
really worthless. A bank teller or cashier is
specialist in signatures. but exactly how he
identifies them and detects forgeries with almost
unfailing accuracy is something that very few
OF them are able to explain 1t is very diff
cult, in fact, to put it into words. As nearly
as | can express it, teller recognizes sigma
tuTe in much the same way that he recognizes a
friend on the street-not by any single feature,
but by the ensemble, by a general summing up
of all his characteristics He would know him
in spite of changes in attire and even changes
in the manner of wearing his hair or beard, and
by similar process he recognizes signatures
written under varying conditions-they are dis
similar, but they have the old. familiar look.
forgery, on the other hand, is almost certain
to impress him as strange. He can't tell exactly
why. perhaps. but he knows it doesn't look
right modern expert in handwriting bases
his opinion certain exact rules and close.
detailed analysis, but with banking man the
thing is half instructive. He has TO decide on
the spur of the moment, and has no time for
measurements and microscopes. Most tellers
know nothing whatever about the science OF
chirography."

Duryea, who sailed the Vaquero III, out
of first place when he stood too far in
shore and sought to take a last chance in
sailing the Veda over the dangerous place
All at once the yacht struck rock and
was brought up with great suddenness, as
she had been going very fast. The shock
threw the crew forward with great force
and they were badly shaken up. All man.
aged to keep aboard. however. Capt. Clay
ton Half. who was in the cockpit. was sent
against the cabin and a cash was cut in
his face.
Mr. Vanderbilt, who was sailing the
Veda, was thrown forward with his men,
but, having grasp upon the tiller. he
was able to save himself from any injury.
though he was lifted out of his seat and
sent to the floor of the craft Assistance
went to the Veda, but, as Mr.. Vanderbilt
| expected, the wind after a time hlew her
of and she continued in the race.
The event was arranged to take the place
of the Columbia Defender race. Mrs. Penn
broke Jones offered a cup and entertained
a luncheon party on the Nevada to see the
race. Among her guests were Mr.. and Mrs
Oliver H. P. Belmont Mr.. and Mrs. CHESTER
