required.

We trust 1t has not escaped the appreciative
attention Of our readers that we have had in
this closing year Of the century one of the
most remarkable springs within the recollection
Of the oldest inhabitant." The fact has, OF
course, been most patent to dwelers in the
suburbs and the rural region round about this
city, though 1t should have been quite evident
to all who have visited our larger urban parks.
To those who have had opportunity and inclina-
ton TO observe not only the general fact but
also it's many detailed phases there has been
such ministry of delight as comes not often in
a single human lifetime. 1t may be that the
weather is banal theme, the comparison Of
climatic records a WEAKNESS to the flesh, and
an appeal to the memory Of the oldest inhabi-
tant' the merest vanity Of vanities. Yet at the
risk Of challenging and all of such re-
proaches, the spring Of 1900 must be regarded
as one Of all but unique interest.
1t began-we speak OF II, Of course, as II was
developed In this city and its immediate en-
virons-exceptionally late. Woods, fields and
gardens seemed to lag far behind the calendar.
It case of winter not merely lingering in
the lap of spring, but occupying the whole
chair, while the seasonabe claimant thereto
waited somewhere behind the scenes. But when
at last spring opened IT did 80 with rush. The
termination and the foliation Of two weeks
were done IN one. Inc WOTiu seemed given up
to hothouse forcing. And before were fair
ly done lamenting the backwardness Of the
son they were reInarl1ing upon its forwardness
with wonder and admiration. Seldom has such
a phenomenon been seen Of natural processes
catching up with and actually outstrippng
themselves.
And then with what profusion OF leaves
and flowers did the season at last assert itself!
Seldom have the trees of forest and wayside
seemed so literally burdened with foliage.
Never before were the apple orchards more like
wood scattered on the hiIlsides and through
every grove faunted its pink and green and
white more abundantly and more persistently
than ever before. One could almost forgive the
horse chestnut its untidiness, many and so
large were its bloomy clusters. The stately
J whtewoods seemed to have lifted whole tulip
| fields into midair. while the purple OF the wis

! hues AS for the violets Of wood and field, the
| wild geraniums that make every roadside beau

/ and shrub and tree, they have seemed to claim
this last spring Of the century conspicuously
! and most prodigally their own

cause-we are glad to attribute 1t largely to the
operation of protective laws-there has this
year been a remarkable immigration Of song

Or'y.

A considerable amount of contemporaneous
human interest attaches to Mr.. Platts recent
panegyric on Mr. Quigg, whether 1t be regarded
as token of pure bcnevolcnce toward states
man about to undergo a partial though perma-
nent eclipse or as notice to the public that the
observation is to be merely technical and tenn
porary. According to Mr. Platt, nothing is too
good for Mr.. Quigg. He is amply entitled to
cast his eyes over the field of patronage and
preferment still belonging to the Republican
organization, and If he sees anything that looks
as if ii would suit him to ask for it. His man
agement of the affairs of the party declares
his eulogist, has been most efficient and satis-
factory. l have indorsed and approved every
''act of Mr.. Quigg as president Of the County
Committee
The capacity of mankind for being surprised
is remarkable. Doubtless there are persons who
would experience a feeling of astonishment If
they suddenly Informed that the sun is a
source of light and heat. that two and two make
four, that the whole is greater than part, that
an elephant differs in several respects from
baboOn and that Julius Caesar has gone over to
the majority. But convinced there Is
not the slightest danger that anybody will be
startled into commissions by Mr.. Platt's avowal
that he has indorsed and approved all Of Mr.
Quigg's official acts. Indeed. he could not rea-
sonably have expected to produce a sensation If
he had declared that he invented them, Mr..
Quigg's capacity for originating many Of the
policies which he has pursued being extremely
doubtful, though he has at times been magnani-
nous enough to accept full responsibility for
the trickery and foolishness Of his admins
tration
Thus last September. IN accepting re cleo
ton as president of the County Committee, Mr..
Quigg said: Il am willing 10 acknowledge that
Il know a great deal more now than did two
years ago. And he added few days later, at
a meeting of the City Committee: There is an
"ant Tammany majority IN this city. We had
"it two years ago We dissipated It among
several candidates. We fooled away our oppor-
"tunity. Lots Of people say 1t fault.
Some, and dare say they very numerous,
SAY that the drest responsibility was mine.
"am afraid that is true" If Mr. Qugg remem-
bers that candid and becoming confession he
may not derive unalloyed delight from Mr..
Platts announcement that his management of
the affairs of the party has been most efficient
and satisfactory" though he must admit that
Mr.. Platt has done the rather handsome thing
by him, after all, in proclaiming his own
APPROVAL and Endorsement OF the monumental
selfshness and treachery which turned the gov
ernment Of the consolidated city over 10 Tam
