THE NEED OF BIG DOCKS.

The English city of Dover is certainly not
lacking in genuine enterprise and breadth or
view II is proposed to spend nearly $5,OO0ooo
81 600 OOM in dock extensions at that port, and
10 provide facilities for docking the giants OF
the sea- the Oceanic and vessels Of similar size.
The population of Dover is less than one-siXt1eth
of that of New-York, and the disproportion be
the two cities is far greater. but this port in
few years may be considerably inferior TO the
little English town In provision for the docking
of the enormous boats which now cross the
Atlantic.
Several of the steamship companies have de-
cided TO add a number of vessels as big as the
Oceanic, or bigger. TO their already large fleets.
Ii is not to the credit of Newly ork that the extern
sion Of its docks does not seem likely to ap-
Droach the standard which should be attained
bv so important q centre of commerce The
owners of the st. Paul were compelled the
other day to ask the Navy Department to per
nit the docking of the American steamship at
the Brooklyn Navy Yard because there was no
other dock in the vicinity large enough for the
purpose And yet the st. Paul is smaller than
the Oceanic and smaller than the new German
boats While little Dover is spending S3,000O0O
in order TO provide spacious docks for the
Titanic ships which will be plentiful on
the ocean, how many millions will New-Iork,
with its population Of three and a half millions,
its vast riches and it's rapidly expanding COM
merce, be spending for new docks?
New-York tribune., 1900-11-11

not unjustly be said that the independents who
proclaim themselves in a peculiar measure the
prophets of the non-partisan Idea are less e1-
cusable for measuring a man by his Nanonai
and State political affiliations than is the organ
ization politician with a lifelong habit OF look
ing at all offices from the partisan's point or
view Success will not be promoted by bring
ing into the municipal campaign the pre1udlces
arising from general politics, especially NOT II
avowed political reasons merely cloak pre-
viously expressed antipathes OF purely local
character. 1t is perfectly true that In 80 1ar as
mans activities either in politics or business
have revealed his character, judgment ana
balance, those revelations may fairly be con-
sidered in estimating his fitness to give the city
the administration it requires. but that is far
from labelling a man according to his vote for
President or Governor as possible or impos-
sible candidate.
If any Democrat Is warranted in saying that
Seth Low or Charles A. Schieren or Charles g.
Beaman or Alfred T. White, or any other Repub-
lican of like character and ability. will not be
acceptab just because he has worked with tne
Republican organization, any Republican is
warranted in saying that Charles s. Fatrch1Id
or Bird s. Coler or Alexander E. Orr or George
L. Rives is out of the question because OF his
affiliations on National politics. Both would be
wrong in taking such positions. Democrats can
say that this is naturally Democratic city and
Republicans cannot hope to elect one Of their
own partisans Mayor. The Republicans with
equal truth can say that Tammany has the bulk
of the Democratic vote and that they must
furnish the majority Of the antl-Tammany bal
lots and as the predominant partner must have
consideration But both are wrong for the
question is not one of electing Republican or
a Democrat, but of establishing non-partisan
government.

that direction, and the constitutional genius Of
the race will be equal to the task.
TIE MAYOR AND THE POLICE.

Bishop Potter and those associated with him
in the investigation of the conditions prevailing
in certain quarters of the East Side were judi
cious in their decision to wait until after Elec-
ton Day to make their report. No one can now
suggest that any thought of affecting political
results has been allowed to enter their minds.
Nothing can be more certain than that police
protection of vice in its worst forms has been
conspicuous and fragrant in more than one pre-
cinct, and Mayor Van Wyck cannot evade the
responsibility for the corruption in the Depart
ment When Governor Roosevelt sent him
emphatic warning that he would be held to
account If the force were used by Chief Devery
or any one else to promote disorder the Mayor
realized that his official head was in danger
and used his authority over the Department to
secure a peaceable election.
While our present Board Of Police Commis-
sioners holds Office in Mulberry-st., and while
Devery remains Chief, the East Side will GER
tainly not be purified with thoroughness and
kept clean; but there is every reason to believe
that the Mayor will soon be forced to compel
his Police Department to mend its ways in a
considerable degree Vice will be less openly
defiant, and police alliance with vice will be
less brazen and insolent.

THO MISTAKES.

Some excellent and patriotic gentlemen who
doubtless really desire the overthrow Of Tam
many seem to have an irresistible tendency to
act as If they preferred to be Sisyphean workers
for reform rather than to dwell in the tents of
good government. The other day of these
leaders Of high ideals speaking of the posi-
biiity Of Seth Low being again an acceptable
candidate for Mayor. said;
Mr.. Low was willing to take the candi-
dacy Of the Citizens Union opposed to that
of what is known as the Republican city ma
chine The candidate of the Republicans
man whose honor and ability were quite
questioned Mr.. Lows. and there
sense and no necessity in MI Lows candidacy
except a protest to the so-called Republican
machine Yet in the very next year Mr. Low
stood defender and apologist of that same
machines nomination. How can he be available
as citizens representative again?
As a matter OF fact, Mr.. Low did not take the
candidacy opposed TO that Of the Republican
machine. He took it declaring that he was
opposed to nobody but Tammany, was willing
to accept anybodys nomination against Tam
many, and hoped for and expected the subse-
quent Endorsement of the Republican organiza-
ton, which that body foolishly refused to give
Passing over this historical misconception-
which simply suggests that the speaker himself
in 1897 had more intense desire TO protest
against the Republican machine than TO pro-
mote anti-Tammany union-we are brought to
the question and answer: What has Mr. Lows
action in the general political campaign of 1898
or 1900 as a Republican 70 do with his availa-
bility In a municipal campaign. the vital point
Of which is non-partisanship? Nothing what
ever.
From a Republican quarter comes counter
check political which shows similar misap-
prehension OF the fundamental principles of
non-partisanship in municipal government. The
suggestion that Bird $ Coler would make n
good union candidate is met with the declara-
tion that he sinned away his day of grace by
accepting free silver and making speeches in
behalf Of Mr.. Bryan In the recent Presidential
campaign. What have Mr.. Coler's views on
free silver and the other issues Of National
politics got to do with his fitness to be the
union candidate for municipal office asking
the support OF men, Republicans Democrats.
Popultsts, Prohibitionists and Socialists in gen.
eral politics. who banded together for the
single purpose Of driving thieves from their
municipal household and securing honest eff
Gent and economical conduct of their common
business affairs? Absolutely nothing.
These two views are a measure of the dis
tsnce TO be crossed by Cancellation and educs.
ZION In the meaning OF non-partisanship before
effective and successful union for the unroot,no
OF Crokerism can be secured. Neither Renuhli.
