New York Republicans.

Some Of our esteemed Democratic con-
| temporaries In the West and South are
getting or trying to get comfort from rnmors
or vain imaginations Of factional quarrels
among the New York Republicans. They
think they hear rimblings Of rage In New
York and organization and anti-orgahlza-
ton Republicans swatting one another
tremendously. A thunderstorm with a
Democratic rainbow at the end Of 1t.
Now there are so many Republicans
in New York that there must be differences
OF opinion among them, often az TO methods,
sometimes as to candidates. and as to this,
that and the other thing. There IL an
immense amount Of energy in the Republi-
can party Of New York, and sometimes
1t throws out considerable heat. Some
times the man who runs with the machine
may assert with too much emphasis that
the man who doesn't run with the machine
Is a pragmatical prig; and the latter, in a
moment of irritation. may feel called upon
not to hide his opinion that his orRani-
cation brother is a boss bent upon running
the party.
Conventional compliments. The Repub-
lican party OF New York State Is a very
independent concern. In refreshing frank
ness Of expression the Republicans of New
York can't be beaten. But there are times
when they are united and then they are
invincitie. This year they are one In
supporting the Republican platform and
the Republican candidates. There will
be no organization and no anti-organiza-
ton Republicans. There will be only
| Mckinley and Roosevelt Republicans.
y. b. To the Democrats in the South
and West: Don't believe all you hear and
at least not more than half Of what you
invent.

BRYAN and Croker.

All owe a respectful salutation to MIR
RICHARD CROKER. With his very finest
quality of bluntness In thought and speech
he faces the Democratic situation squarely.
and says that BRYAN and 10 to l, coupled
because i~nseparable, make the first and de-
termining Democratic plank. II the Demo-
cratic party is identified with the grand
fraud of free silver, at least, says MI
CROKER, let us not descend to the petty
humbug Of trying to conceal the fact'
MIR CROKER is to be thanked for his frank
ness and admired for his courage.
As New York will be as usual the central
battlefield Of the approaching campaign,
and at the same time supplies a Democratic
politician Of great prominence and power
in the complete harmony with the Chicago
platform which Mr.. BRYAN very creditably
insists upon In all candidates for Vice
President, only the accident OF birth In
Ireland is conclusive against Mr.. CRoKER's
nomination. But the man finally chosen at
Kansas City will have to equal the Croker
model. That being 80 it is evident that
II the Sioux Falls nominee, the Hon.
CHARLES A. TowNE, Is not taken he will
have TO be rejected on some other ground
than political fitness.

Democrats and Beers,

In the platform Of their county conven-
ton tho Chicago Democrats especially
deplore the covering attitude Of the Pres
ident ana his advisers In refusing consola-
ton and sympathy to the heroic Beers in
their struggle for the independence Of the
Transvaal Republic" This sort OF resolu-
ton II common In minor Democratic plat
forms. Something Of the kind will be
put into the Kansas City platform. The
Democrats, especially those Of the extreme
Bryanitc school like LENT and CHAMP
CLARK. have been trying to make a
specially of sympathy with the Beers and
have been accusing the Administration
Of failing in its duty, somehow or other,
to the South African republics.
Can any man Of sense be deceived by the
Democratic bah BILE on this subject? Is
there any Democrat who does not know
that the United States, In Offering its good
! offices, did all hat it could do rs to the
war between the South Africa republics
and Great Britain and did more thar any
European State was willing to do? These
good offices being refused, there was no

matter unless it was willing to begin wal
with Great Britain for the sake of stopping
TIE war in South Africa. How many men
in Congress would vote to declare war
with Great Britain on account of the south
African war? How many men in the
country mt large would support such a
| declaration?
The attitude Of the Administration has
been dignifel and correct, as far as possible
from towering. 1t is not the Govern
ment's business to take sides In a conflict
between two countries with which IL i
on friendly terms. The Boer Envoys did
not come after sympathy. They know
that the Americans %sympathize with them.
Under false tuition they may have been
led into believing that the people wish to
go farther than the Administration and
tn hope that the election of BRYAN would
mean the armed interference Of the United
States in South Africa.

The order Just issued by the Gear raising the

east q Lake Baikal. The force brought into

IL is said to have already advanced into Mon
golia from Kachta. the principal Russian Gus
tom House station on the frontier south Of Lake
Baikal.
The land telegraph line from Pehin to Siberia
runs through Kalgan TO Kiachta, and II 10 no
doubt with the object Of securing the safety Of
that line that tho Russian Siberian troops are
marching south. They are reported TO have
already reached Urga, 200 miles south Of
Kiachta, the meeting place OF numerous cara
van routes from lhina and all parts Of Mone ola.
From Urga to Kalgan on the Great Wal about
100 miles northwest of Pekin Is $50 miles, and il
secured q concession from the Chinese Govern
ment for the construction Of a railway. the

The Republican Plank Of 1885.

II we understand our esteemed contem-
porary. the Neu York Evening Post, 1t de-
niles that the doctrine Of the full legislative
power OF Congress over territory belonging
to the United States was asserted In the
Republican platform Of 1860, or In the Re-
publican platform in any other campaign.
The Erenino Post says:
~ should be explained that no such plank as that
which Gen. ~GRosvESOR quotes was In the plat
form on which ABRAHAM LINCOLN waselected Presi.
dent. and that the Republican party had no such
watehword In It's nrst great battle, or In any battle
The platform OF sou said; The new dogma that the
Constitution. Of It's own force, carries slavery into any
or all OF the Territories Of the United States Is a dan.
erous political heresy. &c, which is quite a different
thing from the Grosvcnor Mckinley paragraph"
Perhaps not so different n thing as our
esteemed contemporary supposes. The
same doctrine may be asserted with equal
force In different forms. the form being
determined generally by the practical appli-
cation which happens at tho time to be
uppermost in interest.
For example, the subjoined plank IA from
the very first national platform Of the
Republican party. the platform Of 1856:
"Rsso'ssd. That the Constitution confers upon
Congress SOVEREIGN po,csr orer me Territories for ihsir
eossrnmsnt. and that In the exercise Of this power IL
10 both the right and the duty OF Congress TO prohibit
In the Territories those twin relies Of barbarism,
polygsmy and slavery"
That was f~orty-four years ago. 1t does
not appear that Republican committees and
subcommittee OF resolutions in those days
were nervous over the possibility Of getting
the platform into a possible controversy
with a possible future decision of the United
States Supreme Court.

| Lieutenant-Governor the law says thai ne
shall be removable for cause: but h can
n cause be? l believe that the causes OF
removal can well be offences OF a personal
character. II, for instance. a Lieutenant
Governor, by some grossly dishonorable
conduct. should bring the dignity OF the
Crown into contumely. this and similar
! offences might be causes Of removal but,
if he sticks within the circle Of his functions.
however %tyrannical his acts may be. he Is
not removable, because he Is covered by
Ministerial responsibility. He Is amenable
to the people, who can set him right, II they
believe him wrong, and undo what he has
done" Now, was Iieutenant-Governor
MclSNEs's act in dismissing Mr.. MARTINS
predecessor covered by Ministerial respon-
sibility because 1t had the approval OF MIR.
MARTIN, the new appOintee? From the TACT
that on proceedings weretaken against Nr.
McINNEs until after the recent Provincial
election, we infer that Sir WIIFRlD
L~AuRIRR's answer would be this: MI.
MclYNrs's removal Of the former Premier
would have been covered by Ministerial
responsibility. had the people ratified his
act nj the ballot box by giving a majority
to his appointee, Mr., MARTIN. As they
refused thus to ratify his act, 1t Is not COW
cred by Ministerial responsibility.
This view cannot be %reconciled with that
propounded by another distinguished
Liberal, Mr.. MILLS, who, commenting on
the ~Iftellier case. said: The honorable
gentlemen opposite would not pretend
that the Queen would be forced to abdicate
il, after dismissing her Ministry. the new
Ministry failed TO get the support OF Par
lament" And again: "Lieutenant-Gov-
ernors would occasionally make mistakes.
But the Constitution in each Province pos
sesses sufficient safeguards to set these
danger from allowing them TO be adjusted
by public opinion within the Province
than by undertaking to make the Dominion
Parliament a regulating body for the Prov
inces. a censorious body to exercise super
vision over the acts of observation-disclosures
ors." That is 10 say, according to Mr..
Mills, the observation-disclosures Of British
Columbia, recognizing that the people
had refused 70 sustain his nominee, Mr..
MARTIN, would be obliged to accept for
Premier the person selected by the ma jorfty
Of the new Provincial Assembly. 1t was.
therefore. needless to remove him in order
to vindicate the principles Of representa-
tive government and Ministerial account
ability.
