A supernuous Party.

L is difficult TO understand what practi-
cal object can be attained by the efforts so
strenuously exerted by the Springfield
Republican" to bring out a Presidential
ticket of the anti-impe.isiist party. Fl-t,es
have been organized in the pasl sith 10
hope OF immediate success. but avowedly
advocating a principle which had 10 add
ing place in the platform OF existing and
more popular organizations.
Thus we're instituted III, Prohibition
party. the Socialist party, aEa even TIE
Populist party. In these organizations
doctrines distinct and peculiar TO each were
promulgated. 1t wa not merely the s. lee
lion and emphasis 81 some plank from she
platform Of an existing party, but the
declaration Of a principle not espcuseI
By any other party. Not so with tae
proposed an;l-imperiaIists. They sim
ply propose to adopt one plank Of
the Democratic platform as their o1n,
and to organize a party which, il
composed OF intelligent voters. can
only serve TO enable its members to
avoid assisting in the very object they
profess to hold Eost dear. They 90 L3t
hope to win They can l. their votes Goa
tribute to the success Of a party which en-
win, and thus make their efforts effective.
But it IS said that voters who would
unite with such 4 party viii not sup
port the Democratic candidates on account
Of supposed fallacies in other Parts
of the Democratic creed. Then why vote
at all? If men wish to eyaie the RESPONSE
biI;ty Of choosing between the TWO parties
they can absent themselves from tie polls
or deposit a blank ballot; but TO organize
a party to promote such eyasions argues
that members OF the proposed party viii
be so filled with prejudice and bigo.ry as
to be unable to decide for themselves as
between success for their principles along
with the success Of one party and defeat Of
their principles coupled with the success
Of the other.

a Misleading Contrast.

Republican editors. in defaulj gill
mate argument, are in the haN co.,
trasting Republican prosperity 'p.-er Nc
! iinley with Democratic hard times under
| Cleveland. This is s9ecious enough to a
reader whose memory only extends four years
into the past. But those OF us who are IA
miliar with the overts and incidents Of
| CieyeIand's second Administration know
well enough the injustice of attributing %
the Democratic party responsibility for
the conditions prevalent during the Cieve-
land dynasty.
1t is well remembered that from the be-
! ginning Of his second term Mr. Cleveland
! was dependent en- the support of Republic
J cans in Congress FOR the accomplish 7,'It
( Of MS policies. and for results which no
| honest Republican at the time had the ef-
/ frontery TO charge to the Democrats. Long
| before the conclusion OF his career in the
White House this so-cailed Democratic
I President had lost the respect and support
CT his party. and he ended at last with
a nest earnest and vigorous advocacy OF
the election of his Republican successor.
Democrats in 1895 were removed from Office
because Of their support of their party
nominee. A Cabinet officer and other high
officials were compelled to tender their
designations for the same reason.
During that eventful term representative
Democrats in both houses of Congress
were treated with disrespect and their ad-
vice ignored. 1t was in effect Republican
Administration Thomas B. Reed on one
occasion in the course of some remarks
taunting the opposition on. their inability
to carry out their objects addressing the
Democratic side of the House, said: "Yo'
have the Senate. you have the House Of
Representatives. and you have the Execu-
tive-in part" He might have added in
truth that the Democratic part was only
the name
Depressi0ns in business cannot always re-
main at the lowest; some reaction must
occur. and would have occurred, even had
the Cleveland regime been extended.
What reaction has followed in the last
three years the depression of Cleveland
times has been due to the succession Of
good crops at home. with oorresp0adinsly
poor ones abroad, rather than to the 5enef-
icence Of Republican rule.
But after all are not our Republican
friends somewhat premature in their boast
of urwonted prosperity? Already the
earnings OF important railroads show de-
creases. and many cotton mills wooden
mills. ard steel mills have suspended
operation.
True. the Treasury by means OF loans
and an oppressive war tax is kept well
supplied with funds, the war tax being
levied largely on the necessities and CON
veniences Of lie. Trusts and financial cor
poratons may be unduly prosperous: but
who knows when-it may suit the ma gnates
Of finance TO put on the pressure a1I or
sanize a financial panic as was done in
1893?

A QUARREL OVER IRON.

NEW YORK. July 2255.-Pittsburg adviees

disagreement between the Bessemer Pig
Iron Association and the American Steel
and Wire Company.
It was said that some months ago the
Steel ard Wire Company contracted with
the Bsssemer Association for the delivery
of 30 600 tons of Bessemer iron at an aver
age price of s25 ton, deliveries to run IN
til August Of this, 90. 600 tons have been
shipped. but 1900 tons have not been
taken from the furnace men, and the wire
company has declined to name 4 place
where the iron may be delivered.
The furnace owners allege that the ac-
ton of the Steel and Wire Company is due
to the decline of 81 a ton in Bessemer pig.
and say that they intend to hold the COM
pany to its contract.

We are unable to deduce from the facts
within our knowledge any theory that the
road from Tientsin to Pekin would be
found free from opposition.
This is a question that naturally should
be left TO the international commanders

better position to know whether or not
they have a fighting chance to reach their
objective with thirty or forty thousand
men, than the State Department can be.
An immediate movement is undoubtedly

hand, it would be cruel and wicked -

ICE TRUST LOSES A SUIT.

Counsel Whaien has gained an important
victory for the city against the lee Trust

entire public street. decision in favor
If the city has just been rendered in the
case by the Appellate Division Of the su-
preme Court.
The action was one by the Consolidated
Ice Company now part OF the trust. claim
ing title TO a strip OF land seventy feet
wide along the Harlem River, between
18th and 18th Streets. The land in
question was in the bed Of 4 street laid
out under an act passed in 1852. TIE
predecessors OF the ice company derived
their title from two grants made BY the
city which reserved from the land granted
any streets which might be laid out
through them.
It was held by the city that a street
seventy feet wide had been laid out
through this land under an act of 1852.
which authorized the city to lay out
street along the Harlem River. II was
cOntended by the ice company that the
street had never been legally laid out,
and therefore that the company owned the
bed of the alleged street. Also it IVES
asserted lhaI ne idhd was on the i-aSt
River and not On the Harlem River, and
therefore the act authorizing the laying
out CT the street aiong the Harlem River
did not apply.
The court sustained the contention OF
the city, deciding that the ice company
did not have title to the land in question,
that the street was properly laid cut ard
finally that the land was upon the Harlem
River and not upon the East River.
The Importance OF the decision arises
from the fact that the rule laid down b.
