The death today of William L. Strong,
formerly mayor of New York city calls
attention at an interesting juncture to the
political condition of the metropolis Mr.
strong was chosen mayor of New York
although a republican, in the face of the
enormous power of Tammany Hall, which
mad enjoyed an uninterrupted control of
the city offices for several years. This result
was made possible by an appalling revela-
lion Of official corruption and connivance
with vice and crime which shocked the
community out OF its partisanship and
caused a coalition of the decent elements
This combination returned majority of
over 1000 for Strong and reduced the DEM
Ocratic plurality on the state ticket in New
York county to 2,IS0. Mayor Strong's ad-
ministration was clean and effective 1t
caused a great shaking up of dry bones.
Scores of Tammany henchmen were ousted
from sinecures which they had held for
years, undisturbed as long as they paid
a percentage OF their income to the ma
chine. In one department especially an
excellent record was made that of street
cleaning. Colonel Waring chosen TO super
intend this work, kept New York spick
and span from the beginning to the end
of the administration, and set a pace
which no Tammany official has since been
able to follow. Despite the favorable re-
suits of the overturning in the municipal
government, the Tammany crowd gathered
It's forces sufficiently in 1897 to elect its
man mayor of the greater city. This result
was due to the refusal of the reform ele
msnts to unite upon a single candidate

cellent men. either Of whom would have

A Full International Agreement.

An entire agreement by the powers upon
the chief terms of the Anglo-German alli-
ance is now reported and thus the internal
tional bargain to respect the territorial in
tegrity and to maintain the open door of
china has been formally struck. Certain
If the powers. the United States, France
and Russia, have refused to act upon the
third clause of the agreement respecting
future procedure in case any power seizes
territory. The United States, France and
Russia are not willing to bind themselves
20 a policy OF Offense in case a hostile move
5 made in China by one of the powers. 1t
Suffces for ali present purposes that all Of
he powers have accepted the principles of
governmental integrity and open door 1t
IS not TO be assumed that this acceptance
IS insincere and that in consequence any
one of the powers may at any time violate
the agreement and seize part of China.
Thus the good faith of the world Is
pledged to preserve China in the condition
demanded by the interests Of peace and
commerce. This pledge is as formal it
can now be made. Meanwhile negotia tons
are slowly proceeding to procure from
China satisfactory guarantees that there
will be ample protection for foreign inter-
ests in the future. There serious items
to be adjusted regarding the punishments
to be administered for the recent uprising
and there may be friction between the
powers and China. But nothing should
stand in the way of a complete harmony
between the powers themselves. Such diff
ferences as may arise respecting the pre-
else modes Of the reforms and the exact
scope of the punishments required in China
ought to be of easy settlement now that
the fundamental policy of governmental in
tegrity and open door has been adopted
1t would be a sad display Of interna tional
stupidity and intolerance If a smooth course
If negotiation with China could not be
found

given the metropolis a pure administration.
Their combined votes in the entire city
would have resulted In victory over Tam
many by nearly 10000 majority. The re-
marka BILE feature of the record Is, however,
that IN New York city proper, now the
borough of Manhattan and the Bronx
Temmany polled a clear majority of over
10000 votes over the combined votes Of
the two leading opponents. Thus in the
face of the demonstration of Tammany's
corruption and unfitness for office. and Of
the efficiency Of a reform administrati ton
under an honest mayor. the voters in the
old city were willing. by a margin of 10000
to restore the former organization to power
and to permit 1t to have the vastly enlarged
opportunities for spoliation offered by the
union of the boroughs. Such persistent dis
enlargement to the reform movement as
this has been Tammanys chief refuge IN
the past. Yet 1t Is an ascertained fact that
a very large number of the votes controlled
by that organizati ton, and relied upon by
1t to grant Its successive endorsements, are
cast by business men whose every interest
is opposed to the Tammany methods, who
would be happier and more prosperous I'M
der a clean municipal administration, and
who do not hesitate, in the security of pri-
vate conversation, to revile the machine
which produces Crokers and Deverys.

Four years ago Mr.. Bryan closed his
campaign with most fervent appeals to the
farmers. They were the pet objects of his
soictude. He mourned with them over
their mortgages over the prevailing low
prices for their products. and he attributed
all of their distresseS to the gold standard.
Not until the minis were opened to the
free coinage Of silver at 16 to / as an indie
pendent act by this government would the
life of a farmer again be what it once was,
or his labors again be fifty rewarded.
Mr. Bryan is closing this campaign by APP
pealing to the wage-aarners. His solicitude
now is for the men who toll in the shops
and in the mines. He finds them at work,
and at good pay, but he tells them that they
are not getting their share Of the prosper
ity He incites them to murmur against
their employers. lie tries to SOW the seeds
of discomfort in til air minds. He makes or
himself the chief q walking delegates, and
he breathes miscf ief. 1t is not a case OF
strike, but hear me," but of hear me- and
strike
Though many OF them refused to follow
him, all of the farmers listened to Mr..
Bryan with interest in 1896 Their lot at
the time was hard one Prices were low,
and money was scarce. The sky was COM
pletely overcast. 1t was only natural that
they should be canvassing for a remedy,
and to give ear to a fluent solicitor for their
support who fattered himself that he pos
sessed it. His remedy was not applied and
yet the sky cleared, prices for farm prod
ucts rose, and now the farmers. as a rule,
are so prosperous and so busy that they
have neither the time nor the patience to
listen to Mr.. Bryan. And, anyhow, as al
ready stated, he has turned from them
and is paying his addresses elsewhere.
But why should the wage-earners heed
him? They are not, the farmers were
four years ago. in straits. They are work
ing full time. and their pay is prompt and
at a living scale. How could Mr.. Bryan If
President increase it? What could he do, or
what presents itself as likely to grow out
of his policies which would add penny
to the wage of any worker? And If bust
ness should be arrested, as business men
declare would be the result of Mr.. Bryan's
election. what would inevitably follow but
wholesale distress throughout the working
circles of the country?

Burglars and FOOtpads.

The mayor of Evanston, ILL.,, which is
just now suffering from an outbreak of
crime does not believe in dealing leniently
with burglars and other malefactors who
rob with weapons in hand. Accordingly he
has issued orders to the policemen of the
city 10 shoot to kill whenever they en-
counter burglars or highwaymen. In his
lette~ of Instructions TO the chief Of police
the mayor said:
1T would seem that some of our officers
might be disguised and hidden at certain
points where they could watch these places
In which the hold-upS are occurring. IL
they ever get sight of one of them | want
the officer to shoot him. I don't want any
mistakes about this l want the officers to
shoot to kill. l would prefer to have these
fellows shot rather than arrested. l GER
tainly hope you will put forth every effort
TO stop this business at once. We must not
allow it to get foothold in Evanston
This is harsh doctrine, but none too harsh
when the numerous murders which bur-
glars and their kind have committed in
late wears are considered. The burglar is
a potential murderer, and likewise the
footpad who orders the chance pedestrian
TO throw up his hands All of these char
acters are desperate and are armed with
deadly weapons. When they captured
and brought to court they almost invart-
ably get light sentences, in comparison with
their offenses. OF course such orders as
those just issued in Evanston might be-
come dangerous if recklessly followed by
indiscreet policemen. 1t is necessary to
assume that the policeman will not shoot
at innocent persons, and that he will only
shoot when he is satisfied that his target
is an armed thief. A few months ago in
this city a policeman attempted to arrest
burglar who was prowling around a sub
urban residence and a tussle ensued in
which the policemans life was seriously
menaced. The rascal who assaulted him
got away anu has never been apprehended.
Had this occurred in Evanston under the
new rules there would probably today have
been one burglar less in the world to dis
| turb the peace and menace the property
| and lives of innocent citizens.

The Library Estimates.

The Commissioners estimates for the
Public Library indorse the recommended
tions of the library trustees. The new
building now under way will be ready for
use during the fiscal year for which the
appropriations are made under these esti-
mates 1t is WISE therefore, to anticipate
the requirements of the institution under
its prospective enlargement. As was point
ed out in the annual report of the presi-
dent of the library trustees, it is desirable
that everything possible be done between
now and the time of occupying the new
building to insure a material increase In
the number of books and in the facilities
for distributing those books quickly and
satisfactorily to the readers. The Commits
sioners ask for $4,000 for new books, a
really conservative sum when the circu-
lating library demands of the people of the
District and the inadequacies of the pres
ent collection are considered. This sum
judiciousiy expended between the time OF
appropriation and the time of removal to
the new quarters would enable the library
| to start in its permanent home with re-
| spectacle showing Of books. With the cler-
| ical force estim ted for by the Commits.
