by reason of the fact that It's administra-
tors are chosen because Of their personal
merit and not their relationship to po-
litical party. They give honest government
because they have no obligations which
conflict with their sense Of public duty.
They surround themselves with capable.
honest subordinates because they are not
required by the exigencies Of politics to ac-
cept the hungry political workers chosen
by a boss or clique In the interests of
partisan advantage.
The truth Is unavoidable that the Amer
lean city governments are today the worst
features of the institution Of popular suf-
frage. The instances of the total failure OF
city administration by reason of unintelli-
gent choice of officers by politician-fed cit
liens are too numerous to require argument
to support the assertion. New York's re-
cent demonstration Of capacity requires
repetition through a course of years to
prove that 1t is possible with an unlimited
suffrage to hold the city government free
from the taint Of dishonesty and inef1-
cheney. When this question of city admin
istration has been solved on all sides as
satisfactorily as it has been here, by what
ever means, then Will the American record
for intelligent seIf-government be cleared
at last.

The New Canal Treaty.

The signing today Of the new isthmian
canal treaty by representatives of the
United States and Great Britain puts the
case once more In shape for practical ad-
vance. All reports of the new agreement
indicate that it is satisfactory TO the Ameri-
can view Of an American-owned and con-
trolled canal and is secured without any
compromising agreement or understanding
concerning considerations for -abrogation Of
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. In just what
terms the Objectionable features of past
agreements are swept away remains TO be
later disclosed. 1t is evident, however from
comments by London newspapers, repro
duced today, that the English people re-
gard the new treaty as concession to the
American demand, and that the quid-pro-
quo part of the bargain takes only the
form of liberal facilities to England and
the rest of the world In the commercial use
OF the canal .
There need be no question of diplomatic
success or defeat in this readjustment.
Both sides need the waterway, and 1t has
been merely a question of how to express
satisfactorily the joint thought of the two
peoples.

The New York Evening Post.

The centenary of the New York Evening
Post was observed Saturday by the issue
of an extraordinary edition commemora-

rendered to the staff of the newspaper by
leading citizens of the metropolis Few
American newspapers have attained to such
a ripe age. Few have won such hearty
plaudits as were last Saturday bestowed
upon this conspicuous American journal
The Evening Post has throughout its hun
dred years of life stood for all that Is clean
and honorable in journalism. 1t has main
tanned high standard of literary and me-
chanical excellence. 1t has presented the
better side of life for consideration While
politically it's fearless independence has at
times carried it into channels leading away
from the popular thought, it has never
been accused of other than sturdy belief.
Its net influence has been for good, and
now, at this first century point. 1t has by
its continued life and health demonstrated
that it represents the sentiments of a
large body of the best people within it's
range. 1t has earned the heartiest congrat-
ulations and wishes for more such birth

months in consequence of the isolation Of
the region, they could not beat back the
British troops which would be surely sent
In numbers as soon as the roads were OPEN
Nor could they expect to get aid from the
United States. This country Is not engaged
today in encouraging 1libustering parties.
1t has present program of settlements
with England which would be seriously en-
dangered by the slightest act of recognition
of a so-called Yukon independency. Even
were this not the case the natural policy OF
the United States Is adverse to such
course Of revolution. These miners have no
real grievance warranting revolution. They
have gone into a wild country purely Tor the
sake of the gold 1t contains, and they nave
prospered as far as nature and their own
characters permit. They have encountered
some severe legal restrictions, perhaps
they have been Disseminated against in the
administration of the statutes and the regu-
lations. But taking their case at it's best,
they have no ground for armed revolt.
They must take things as they find them In
an alien country. No independent govern
ment could survive in that region. The
climate would never encourage immigration.
Weak at first, such an establishment would
dwindfe and die in short order. The hope
of American annexation would be prepos-
ferrous. When this country wants the Brit
ish portions of the Alaskan peninsula 1t
will seek them in legitimate course and not
try to steal them by any such process as Is
suggested by the reports now coming. 1t
is to be hoped that these truths will be ap-
preciated by the misguided f1libusters in
time to prevent the conflict and suffering
inevitably consequent upon so futile a
scheme of empire.

The Reciprocity Convention.

The convention of American manufactur-
ers which assemblies IN this city tomorrow
for three days session will attract world
wide attention. The subject with which 1t
will deal Is first now in the thoughts OF
both Europe and America, and those who
will discuss it are very high authorities IN
the realm of trade. Surely no men any
where are better entitled to be heard as to
the best means of fostering and extending
business than those who have brought the
United States up under the policy Of pro-
lection to a place in the front rank Of the
nations. The pick of these men will be
delegates to this convention, and they are
coming fully impressed with the Importance
of the matter in hand and fully competent
to handle it. Their deliberations will be
public. and the press reports will satisfy
the interest that has been awakened.
A note of objection has been raised to
the convention. Those who have sounded it
declare that they do not want reciprocity
at the expense of any American industry.
Who does? The proposition laid down Is
that reciprocity. wisely and properly nego-
tiated, will benefit all American industries.
Some of those industries have greatly out
grown the home market, and, for their con-
tinued prosperity, require new fields for
those new fields be reached? BY reciprocal
tariff arrangements with foreign countries,
are told. Mr.. Mckinley recommended
that the plans which have worked very well
on a small scale be applied upon a larger
scale, and his words have received very
general approval. His successor in the
White House Is pledged to carry out his
policies so far as it may be possible, and
the country is expecting word on the sub
ject of reciprocity either in the President s
regular message to Congress, or, later, In a
special message At any rate, every
body is talking reciprocity, and everybody
Is expecting action of some kind to be
taken.
Clearly, then, the manufacturer or the
statesman who brushes the subject aside
Ioftily as one upon which only sentimental
lists and nobodies have been exercising their
feeble wits assumes too much. If that Is
not the proper way out of the difficulty he
should show one of his own. He cannot
deny the commercial strength of the coun-
try. He must know the amount of business
We are doing. ana the amount that is in
prospect He is probably not an advocate
of retrogression or stagnation. It must be
plain even to him that the United States is
not superior to the rule that governs in this
as in other things. A country of any con-
sequence must go forward or backward. It
cannot mark time or stand still If reci-
procity is out of the question therefore
what plan should be adopted? If "vagrant
negotiations are undesirable in this busi-
ness, of what public service are vague and
vagrant sneers and objections?

ton, which could systematically cover each
county and by the prestige and popularity
attached to President Roosevelt's name and
strength to the party. Many men high in
