the Anglo-German alliance. Certainly 1t would
seem TO be an extraordinary performance for 1t
to enter into league for the thwarting or
"counterbalancing Of those policies. or for op-
position 10 a compact whose principal aims II
has formally approved. The United States has
not been In the habit Of opposing, at alien sug
gestion policies which 1t has itself Initiated or
advocated and which were calculated to pro-
mote its own interests.
Neither has it been the policy Of this Nation
TO enter into offensive alliances with alien Pow
ers in anita gonism TO other Powers with which
its relations are entirely amicable 1t has been
no party to Old World jealousies, rival-es and
intrigues. 1t has cherished no feuds and sworn
no vendettas When European Powers differ
or even quarrel. the United States can be the
disinterested and impartial friend Of both. To
suggest that ii should deliberately depart from
that rule and should lend itself to he the ally
or the catspaw of any Power in antasonism to
another and that in matter in which it has
absolutely no interest. an interest directly
contrary to the suggested action, IS to propose
something little short of madness The United
States has definite consistent and benevolent
policy in China, in all foreign affairs. 1t is
not lightly to be seduced therefrom for the
qualification Of alien ambitions the further
ance of alien feuds.

audacious repudiation of the traditional policies
Of his party and of the very issues on which he
was first triumphant The Liberal party has
been for Free Trade: it has practised Protec
ton 1t used to denounce acceptance Of Crown
offices by members of Parliament; it has been
practising such acceptance on every oppOrtuni-
ty. 1t inveighed against Conservative extrav-
agance and promised retrenchment; it has been
spending more money each year than ever was
spent before 1t demanded reduction Of the
debt; II has been increasing it. 1t declamed
against railroad influences in Government; it
has been as subservient TO the railroad interests
as any of its Conservative predecessors. 1t
stood for practical independence of the mother
country; 1t has become rampantly tmpe-ialistic.
There is scarcely essential item of Its for
mer creed which It has not practically repudiat-
ed and reversed. Whether this means an ac-
tual change of opinion or merely an audacious
attempt to dish the Tories 1t has led to a
success greater than any one had the slightest
reason to expect What will he the next pat
tern in the Kaleidoscope is not to be predicted.
But may pretty safely suppose that the
policy of the Dominion toward the United
States will remain about the same that It has
been in the last four years. There was little
ground for expecting, In any event. anything
better. and there seems to be no reason for
anticipating anything

NOW FOR CROKER,

Bryan is disposed Of. Now for Bryan's guide
philosopher and friend. Croker has been even
more intimately identified than any other man
with Bryan in this campaign. The public has
been made to understand that Organism means
CFokerism applied to the Nation. and that
Crokerism means Bryanism applied to the city.
Never before has Bryanism been SO offensive
this year in its assaults upon the credit and
honor Of the Nation. the independence and i'm
partiality Of the judiciary and the sovereign
symbolism Of the flag. Never before, either
has Crokerism been so unblushing in it's In
iQuity. so brutal in its tyranny. and so fragrant
in its lawlessness as this year The Crokerized
Chief of Police sneering at the systematic de-
bauchment and ruin Of young women with a
I'VE don't mind that sort Of thing" and later
ordering the police force to antagonize the law
full authority of the State and the coarse. brutal
Boss himself Haunting vile insults in the faces
of the citizens and explicitly melting violence
and crime at the polls--these were the specta-
cles presented by that consummated and sub
limated Crokerism TO which Mr. Bryan was
mortgaged
The next task before us Is to rid this city Of
Croker and Crokerism, as the Nation has now,
we may trust, been rid Of Bryan and Organism.
The achievement is possible. and should not
prove difficult For If ever a man ratified"
and lost his head" that man Is Croker.
Whether he is drunk with his excess of mr.
btrary power, or his head is turned with the
cheap delight Of being at last recognized as a
dictator of National affairs. We know not. But
certain 1t is that the cool shrewd taclturn
and polite leader OF former campaigns has been
transformed into a wild ravinC. clustering and
most laundering marplot. STRICKEN with the
madness which precedes destruction,
He will, Of course. make desperate efforts 10

insolent understrappers should be swept for

so vlllanously misused. That is the thing
which should he done. That Is the thing which

MORE MANHATTAN TRAINS,

II is gratifying to observe that the Manhattan
management has decided to make important
additions to the number Of its trains. both on
the East Side and the West Side This increase
has been much needed for considerable time
and the wonderful growth in population and In
every branch Of metropolitan progress in the
districts which compose the parts Of Manhat-
tan above Seventy -second-st. from the East
River to the Hudson, together with the amazing
activity and expansion beyond the Harlem
have appealed to the men who control our ee-
waited lines with A force that they have been
unable to withstand. 1t is a pity that they
were not somewhat more open eyed and large
minded years ago. The adoption Of the policy
Of enterprising development which they are
Just entering upon would have been wise and
judicious In the eighties. They ought not to
have waited to the close of the century
New-YOrkerS are not cenSOriOus or cautious
1t is not their habit to spend their time In grum-
bling or finding fault Only the worst OF i'll
treatment provokes them to emphatic protest
complaint. They suffer long before they
break out. Intelligent citizens generally. when
they talk over matters calmly and quietly
agree that the elevated roads on both sides of
the East River have usually been tmorous and
backward in taking advantage OF their oppor-
tunities and in anticipating the mighty advance
of this imperial New-York. But the great ma
jority of our people all over the Empire State
from Shelter Island to Buffalo. from Bedlow's
Island to the Canada border. are amicable and
indulgent in the extreme. They never make n
fuss unless they are squeezed and banged abou+
far beyond the average OF human endurance
They never think Of resenting any misuse Of the
privileges which have been granted to our trans
portation companies unless the holders Of the
franchises persist In opposing every reasonable
desire of the community which has been so IN
grudging In its gifts to those corporations.

THE CANADIAN ELECTIONS.

While the expected happened here on Tues
day, the unexpected happened on Wednesday
across the northern border There were, no
doubt. many who looked for Liberal success
There could have been no one who looked for
a victory SO sweeping. The general eXpecta-
ton was that the result would be close. AS
matter of fact the Liberals have won with a
considerably larger majority than they secured
at the preceding election. They have, more
over, succeeded in parts Of the country where
conservative success was generally anticipated
The expectation was that in Manitoba. British
Columbia and the Territories there would be
a pretty clean Conservative sweep The re-
alization Is that the Liberals have secured a
majority Of the seats for those provinces
Again, the Liberals have been far more sue
cessful in the maritime provinces than even
their most sangune leaders dared to hope So
for the first time In Canadian history a Liberal
Government will be retained in office for a sec
ond term. and that on a much surer basis Of
popular approval than 1t enjoyed In the Hrst
place.
The principal cause of this result is no
doubt, the prosperity the Dominion has en-
1oyeo during the last four years. There are
Few points OF contact between Canadian Liberal
Ism and United States Republicanism, but there
Is at the present time this one, that the policy
of each has been materially profitable to the
Nation. 1t would. of course be folly m AZ
tribute all national prosperity to governmental
action But there can be no doubt that Sir VII
frid Laurier's policy OF maintaining the Pro-
tective tarif-which. by the way. he was
pledged to abolish-and establishing n scheme
of discriminating rates and reciprocity has
been TO the Industrial and commercial adj
vantage of Canada. So has been his enersetic
and generous promotion Of the canal improve
ments and harbor developments which are
winning for Canada so much export trade
which formerly belonged and should always
belong to the United States. Sir Wilfrid has
also catered shrewdly to the sentiment Of the
people. He greatly pleased the French with
the great eclat he won at the Queens Jubilee
and he equally commended himself to the Brit
ism with his aggressive imperialism during the
south African war. In brief. he rode two
horses at once with the skill OF star eaues-
trtan. and won the race s4f

WILD DREAMS OF ALLIANCE.

a new Quadruple alliance Is announced
France. Russia, Japan and the United States
are said to have entered into a compact to op-
pose, or at least TO counterbalance the Anglo
German alliance In respect to China. at is re-
ported among the heather, and Gashmu
"saith it. The story in it's present form ap-
pears to have originated in a St Petersburg
paper. the 'Novos Vremya," which is often the
medium through which political "feelers" are
put forth. and is made known to the English
speaking world by a London paper, THE Ex-
press" which is conspicuous for the prevalence
Of sensationalsm over accuracy in Its columns
Despite these discrediting circumstances, how
ever. 1t has attained wide circulation and might
have some disquieting credence were 1t not so
easy to show its Inconsistency and gross i'm
probability.
Granted that France and Russia regard Great
Britain and Germany with some degree of sus-
picion and antagonism, the fact remains that
they have both formally accepted the essential
principles of the AngloGerman alliance. It is
scarcely reasonable to suppose they are now
organizing opposition to that to which they have
just given their assent The AnglO-German
compact is for Chinese territorial integrity and
the open door. What spectacle it would be
for other Powers TO form an opposing COM
pact, TO counterbalance that. but for precisely
the same purpose, Things that are equal to the
same thing are equal TO each other and nations
that are aiming at the same ends cannot well

leaders of this alliance. As for the third.
Japan. we asked to believe that II has de-
liberately Joined its chief rival IL not ruthless
despoiler In league against one of its closest
friends in order to "counterbalance' a policy
10 which 1t has long been unequivocally COM
miued. We must bear in mind that at the
close of the war of 1894 '95 Japan proposed after

open door TO all the world; that Russia in
teFyened TO veto these proposals and To rob
Japan Of her reasonable indemnity and that
ever since that time Japan has regarded Russia
with aversion and as a Power with which. soon
or late, a conflict Is Inevitable The notion that
In such circumstances Japan would ally herself
with Russia against her own interests and
against the one European Power that showed
her sympathy and friendship in 1895 Ia really
too great draft upon credenee.
There remains the question of the particins
ton Of the United Statss In such an Alliance II
win be remembered that this country has ever
stood for the territorial integrity of China and
thar less than a year ago II actively championed
the open door policy and secured the formal as
sent thereto Of the other Powers Moreover. IL
has just given its cordial and unreserved sp-
arovai to the reahirmation Of those policies In

What was that remark OF Croker's about there
no longer being any Republican party?

Every true spirited yachtsman Is delighted
that G. Oliver Iselin has consented to take
charge Of the Columbia in the trial races against
the new defender Of the Americas Cup. Mr
IseIIn has unselhshly sacrificed his own personal
interests for years for the glory Of American
yachting He has worked so hard and has dis
played so much talent and capacity In yachting
affairs. and has achieved so notable triumphs
for the distinction and fame Of this country in
international contests on the water that he de-
serves the gratitude OF all Americans. And so
do all the generous yachtsmen who have spent
their time. labor intellectual effort and money
10 keep the Americas Cup on this side Of the
Atlantic.
