sweeping change by the fusion mayor. This
is not material factor In the work to be
done by the reformers. 1t may give a few
Tammany favorites comfortable salaries
for a time, but it need not check the real
work Of publication. The police force Of
New York, or any other city, for that mat
ter. is just what its heads desire IT to be,
in the main. II the commissioner and his
deputies are corrupt. or are tied to a corr
rupt machine, the force will reflect their
morals II the heads are honest the force,
save for few sporadic cases of individual
crookedness, will remain square. Mr.. Low
cannot evade the responsibility which he

generation Of the force through the ap-
pointment Of the right man as commits
sioner. Upon that selection will depend, in
large measure, the success or failure of

The Finer Union.
From the Philade lphia Times.

FROM the Philadelphia Times
There Is good use in monuments, not only
for the memories they perpetuate, but as
elevations from which the living may get
farther. broader view Of life and men, "It
Is by the few heaven-piercing peaks" said
George William Curtis. mot by the con-
fused mass of upland that we measure the
height Of the Andes, of the Alps, of the
Himalayas." We can trace our great steps
in history by the tributes to our great men,
and there still remains the wonderful les
son of union and continuity which we
sometimes fail to see In our habit of looking
too close to the confused mass OF passing
events.
There is an illustration of this in the
suggestion that the monument to Mckinley
at Washington shall be an arch at the
Washington end of the splendid memorial
bridge which Is to be erected across the
Potomac and that there shall in course of
time be an arch to Washington at the Vir-
ginia end of the same structure. In thus
spanning the river that once separated
nation. and in making the beginning of
made the nation possible, and the other end
of the new century who fought to keep the
union intact. the eternal yerities and the
artistic tendencies Of history will be beau
tifully combined. The south and the north
in fact and character and sentiment will
thus be eloquently united, not only in
material sense. but in the name Of Wash
ington. who won the admiration of the
north in the work of revolution and in the
name of Mckinley. who won the friendship
OF the south in the work of concord and
love.

New York's Police Force.

1t being assured from the mere fact Of
fusion victory in New York that the pres
ent police organization will be radically
changed by the new mayor, the question
now uppermost in the metropolitan mind
bears upon the identity OF the new commits
sioner and his immediate aids. There Is
abundant available material in the field
for selection for the chief office. Among
the names mentioned is that Of Gen. Wes-
ley Merritt, u. s. A. retired. At least half
a dozen others Of unmistakable qualifica-
ton are suggested. Mayor Low will per-
haps be embarrassed by the richness of his
opportunity to give New York a chief of
police upon whom the people can confidently
rely to cleanse the department and to stop
the graft
Probably no other single act In the entire
administration of Seth Low will be so keen
ly scrutinized by the public as this selec-
tion. The police issue was paramount in
the campaign. Mr.. Low repeatedly prom
ised that IL elected Murphy and Devery
should go. Four-fifths OF the campaign talk
was about the connivance Of the police with
the vicious and criminal classes.

The solution of the Chinese problem in
the Philippines will ultimately rest upon
the nations choice of its broad policy re-
garding the trea tment of the archipelago
Two courses are open in the main- We can
consider ourselves as in the Philippines as
trustees to govern the islands for the best
interests of the people. doing by them all
that Spain failed to do for their enlighten-
Incnt and advancement. Or we can regard
the islands as spoiis of war, to be ex-
plotted solely for the benefit of the United
States as so much land with its present
population, in small part now in revolt
against the American sovereignty. as an
incumbrance upon the soil. We may choose
to be either governors or capitalists.
If we choose to be governors, seeking all
ways the best course to advance the well
fare of the natives. executing our trust
ccnscientiously for their benefit, recogniz-
ing the fact that the revolt was originally
conducted only by one of the many tribes
and is now rapidly being suppressed. our
course in the treatment of the Chinese Is
plain We must restrict Chinese immigra-
ton vigorously. regarding each celestial
seeking entrance into the islands as COM
prtitor for the sustenance of the Fill
pinos We must hold off the horde of
irto the islands uuon the first bid for labor
ers. We must patiently await for the tram

effective workIngmen and give them the
first benefit of our own enterprise. The
Chinese must be regarded only as poSsi-
bi,, labor supply when all other means have
failed and be drawn upon then only with
the greatest care 10 prevent congestion and
dangerous rivalry.
If. on the other hand, We choose the
course of exploitation, holding in contempt
all the Filipinos because of the folly of
few and determining upon a program of
iand-squeezing, the surest means OF clear
ing the soil Of the natives will be to open
the gates to the Chinese. allowing them TO
swarm in to supplant the Filipinos in every
department of labor and trade and eventual
" TO drive them into starvation. We shall
then have an abundant supply of cheap
labor to build railroads and canals, to de-
yei1p plantations and to operate manu-
factories for the finishing OF the native
products But We shall be meanwhile ac-
cumulating troubles. The Chinese thus i'm

The true American course is plain and

The overwhelming victory for decent gov
ernment In Greater New York leaves the
result of the effort toward the same end In
Philadelphia all the more regrettable. Had
both cities taken the same stand against
ring corruption and control the effect
would have been to encourage IN the
strongest degree the publication of politics
in every American city of any size now
suffering from ring rule.
In one way the Philadelphia situation has
been even worse than the New York situa-
ton. This is not to deny to Tammany
very large measure of infamy. It has done
it's best at all times to plunder the people
and foster every sort of iniquity, and 1t has
a record of which ,ne uevil himself might
well be proud-and may actually be jeat-
Gus. But Tammany has every now and
then had to keep an eye. peeled for Al
bany The republicans have repeatedly
controlled the state legislature, and in the
past six years have three times elected the
governor This has operated as check
on Tammany and especially with regard
to Illegal voting. State Inspector McCul-
lagh has undoubtedly on more than one oc-
casion kept Tammany's fraudulent polling
plans down to lines that rendered them
comparatively harmless.
But in Philadelphia the city ring has
been absolutely unrestrained 1t has SEEM
ed to have all the credit 1t needed at Har-
risburg. Nobody in authority at the state
capital has offered or could be induced. to
interfere with any of its purposes or per-
formances. Where state legislation was
necessary to forward city schemes 1t has
been forthcoming. No state effort has
ever been made to th~art the games of
the election repeaters. 1t is openly charged
that thousands of Illegal votes are cast at
every city election in support Of the ring;
against the fusion ticket was padded in this
disreputable manner. So that in the mat
ter of having free hand completely in
the carrying out of all movements for
plunder. and for corruption the ballot. no
municipal ring anywhere has compared
with the Philadelphia ring.
1t is a sort of mockery that the city OF
Penn. the City of Brotherly Love, the city
of as high social culture may be found
anywhere in America; the city whose bar
is famous for learning, whose medical prac-
ttioners are famous for skill, whose pulpits
are we'll filled and whose newspapers are
ably conducted and fight unitedly for a
pure local government. should, now that
New York has decreed the retirement of
Tan.many, be the "foulest blot on the
municipal escutcheon of the country. 1t
