Tammany's Wave Of Reform Seems
to Be Receding.

ecia1 CORRESPONDENCE Of The Evening Star.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, March 2S, 1900.
The wave of reform has just swept over
this city, has reached its height and has
already commenced to recede. Nobody ever
expected that it would amount to anything.
Tammany Hall has been playing a game of
bluff, bluster and brag, and be it said to the
credit of Tammany Hall it has been playing
the game exceedingly well. The only re-
form movement that has ever occurred III
this city that has produced any lasting
suits had it's origin in the sensational ex
pose made by Dr. Parkhurst and its culmi-
nation in the election of Mayor Strong.
1t is true that the strict enforcement Of the
Raines Sunday closing law by the Roose-
Welt police commissioners caused thousands
of intelligent Germans to leave the repubIi
can party and join with Tammany Hall in
the election of Mayor Van Wyck. Looking
at the Strong administration now in the
light of history 1t can be seen that the cru
SADIE inaugurated by Parkhurst has been
productive of lasting benefits. Take the
matter Of the cleaning Of the streets; true,
they are bad enough and dirty enough now
adays every one knows, but since the re-
girne of Waring, when the streets We're
really cleaned for the first time, Tammany
Hall has been compelled by public opinion
to make pretense of keeping the streets
clean So In the matters pertaining to the
citys morals. 1t Is all a pretense-Tam-
many Hall knows it is only pretense, the
people know that 1t is only pretense. and,
what Is more, the Tammany Hall leaders
know that the people know that they are
only pretending. This double-dealing. this
hypocrisy, makes of Greater New York a
sort of civic DIR. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde. Dur
ing the past fortnight New York has been
posing as a sort of good DR.. Jekyll The
city has been trying to array itself in fault
less attire, has been lifting a glossy beaver
hat to the world, has been wearing a flow

corners, What great and good man l

Her Little Mistake.

DeLamar Messenger: A married
lady in DeLamar was badly taken in
while performing q part in q play de-
signed by herself. 1t appears that
her husband, who was in the habit
of coming home late at night. used
to enter the house through the kit

come suspicious of the affections of a
young lady stopping at the house,
who occupied room adjoining the
hash factory of the peaceful abode.
Hearing gentle footstep about the
usual hour, she procured the favorite
wrap OF the visitor, who was out
calling, and taking position by the
door was soon embraced and kissed
to her hearts content. As soon as
she could release herself from his

KANSAS CITY, Jan. 13.-W. j.
Bryan passed through Kansas City
this morning for Columbia, Mo-,
where he is to speak this afternoon.
Asked about his interview in which
he is reported as expressing views
favorable to expansion, Mr.. Bryan
said:
81 have not seen the interview as
sent out by the Associated Press. /
saw it as it appeared in one of the
Minneapolis papers and it contained
some things I did not say. / have
for one year been discussing imper-
ialism. and I have tried to distinguish
between such an extension of the
Nations limits as would not change
the character of the government and
an expansion which converts homo.
geneous republic into heterogene.-
GUS empire. When the annexation OF
any given territory is under con-
sideration, the first question is, first,
whether the people are capable of
sharing in the government and des-
tiny of the nation. l believe that all
people are capable of governing
themselves and that the Filipinos
should be allowed to govern them
selves. but / do not think they are
sufficiently advanced to share with
us in the government OF the Nation.
II the Philippine Islands are annex
ed the people there must be either
citizens or subjects. am not will
ing to admit them as citizens and do
not believe that republic can have
subjects, therefore / want this Nation
to give them independence and then
protect them from outside interfer-
ence. Each proposed annexation
must be considered upon its own
merits. but in considering these
merits the condition of the people
should have more weight than
geographical position or commercial
advantage"
