have found themselves able 10 pursue such a
course with considerable degree of personal
comfort -Four years ago Mr.. Dayton professed
horror at the Croker regime. which threatened
TO recover power, and ran for office in oppo-

knows that that is pure humbug. He knows. in
the first place, that Tammany, not the Repub

second Philadelphia. The evils of Philadelphia,
so far as they chargeable to the Republican
machine there result from the fact that II is
the dominant power, as Tammany is here. and
all the elements of political corruption rally TO
keep ii in the control of bad men. The Democ-
racy Of Philadelphia is just now illustrating
that by refusing TO aid honest Democrats and
Republicans TO reform that city New-York is
worse than a second Philadelphia in the hands

THE PERSIAN GULF TROUBLE.

The trouble menace of trouble. at the upper
end of the Persian Gulf affords striking illus
tration of the way in which centres of nterna-
tional interest shift and change. Once Constan-
| tinoplc and the Dardanelles commanded the
worlds attention, and one nation was ready to
20 10 war rather than let another gain para
mount influence there. Then interest was
transferred to Egypt and the Suez Canal and
Constantinople relegated to the diplomatic
lumber room. The time is well remembered
when the war cloud in the Balkans" darhened
the world and a veritable Armageddon was
looked for in that peninsula But later China
was perceived to be the place of all places
where the nations We're lkeliest to clash. Just
now the Persian Gulf holds the centre of the
scene A little while ago Russia established
herself at Bander Abbas on the Persian shore
of the Strait Of Ormuz, the entrance to the gulf.
Now Turkey is trying TO assert her authority
the Arabian shore of the head Of the gulf,
and Great Britain is forcibly preventing her
from so doing. while Germany France and Rus
STA are all supposed to be deeply interested in
the case.
There is reason for such interest The Persian
Gulf. taken in connection with the Tigris
Euphrates Valley. promises to afford most
important highway from Europe TO India and
China 1t may prove a formidable rival to the
quicker. or course. Great Britain feels deep
interest in all routes from Europe TO India, SIM
liar TO that which this country feels in routes
across the American isthmus Besides she has
already very large commerce with Bussorah
and Bushire and other places on or near the
Persian Gulf The interest Of Germany is
readily explained by the fact that it is she that
is building a railroad which when complete is
to extend from the North Sea TO the Persian
Gulf without break. There is also a consider
able British share in the same project. Russia,
evidently, wants to make Persia q Russian
province and thus gain frontage ON the
Arabian Sen and Indian Ocean. AS for France.
she is Russa's ally, and she regards II as a
grievance that Germany has usurped her place,
or what she regarded as her place, In Syria and
Mesopotamia SO all these nations are now
paying close attention to the Persian Gulf.
Just why Turkey is seeking to mass troops
at Koweyt IL not at once apparent. Koweyt is
in Ell Hasa. which is nominally a Turkish prov
ince. There seems to be no renscn for coercing
or terror,zng that province, which has re-
maiped peaceful and loyal. The Turkish plea
that the troops are intended for service in FL

Yemen is scarcely to be accepted. Perhaps
there is trouble in Ell Yemen. There usually is.
But no Turkish commander would ever ser-
ously think of marching an army thither from
FL Hasa through the independent Arabian State
of Nejd and across the great sandy desert of
Dehna. Turkey is more probably creating this
trouble at Koweyt for the sake of setting the
European powers by the ears. She does not feel
at all kindly toward them especially since their
intervention in Crete and since the more recent
action of France in the matter of the quays and
the French claims. 1t would suit her book to
get them quarrelling among themselves, but it
does not yet appear that she will succeed in
doing so. There was. of course, no truth in the
wild tale that Germany, France and Russia
would back her against Great Britain. since
German and British interests in the case are
largely identical. AS for Russia. her game will
probably be TO let Great Britain coerce Turkey
ut Koweyt, and at the same time seize for her
self compensating advantages at Bander Abbas
or elsewhere. Great Britain. therefore, is likely
to carry her point at Koweyt and thus maintain
the status quo at that end of the gulf But
what may happen at the other end is another

The America Cup is still rocking. The third

GAIA MITES on THE WATER.

The East River does not widen as the years
GO on. and the water spaces below the Battery
in the busiest hours of the day are so jammed
with vessels of every imaginable class that
notes of warning 10 every captain and navl-
gator of any type should he sounded frequently.
Our ferryboats Sound steamships and other
large vessels should always have two men in
each pilot house Then if one is overcome sud
denly ny fainting or apoplexy. the other can
take his place.
The possibilities of catastrophes in the
crowded parts of NETWORKS harbor are al
WAYS present. and no precautions against large
sacrifices of life can be deemed excessive. The
excursion season is almost over but even in
the winter months unceasing watchfulness
should be practised especially in the vicinity OF
the Battery Just now while the yacht races are
on there is double need of sleepless vigilance.

THE EPISCOPAL GENERAL CONVENTION.


The Episcopal General Convention which
begins its sessions in San Francisco to-day Is
the first gathering of the kind to he held on
the Pacific Coast. The decision TO meet there
was made by the last General Convention
largely because 1t was thought that the Church
on the Pacific Coast would be much encouraged
and strengthened thereby, and there is good
reason to believe that such will he the case.
At any rate the deputies to the convention
will be the gamers. for the Episcopalians of
California have prepared TO entertain them IN
the most generous way. But the social side or
the convention will have 10 be made subsidiary
II the long and important programme of bust
ness is to be carried through.
First on the calendar will come the unfinished
work of revising the constitution and canons of
the Church, legacy from the last convention.
This has been made necessary by the growth of
the Church and by the changed conditions of
life which have made some of it's organic laws
archaic in form if not in spirit. In somewhat
the same line with this will be the old project
to change the name of the Church. which has
received fresh impetus from the favorable votes
of several dioceses. The extreme ritualists are
bitterly opposed TO the present name Of the
Church. and wish it to be called the American
Catholic Church. 1t is said that they may
have votes enough to approve the change this
time, but this is thought unlikely by prominent
churchmen in the East. Two other important
questions will come up. An attempt will be
made again to enact a more stringent divorce
law for the Church, and to erect a provincial
system with an archbishop for each province,
and primate instead of the present presiding
bishop, the primate to have certain large
powers in the general government of the
Church, analogous to those of the Pope Bishop
Potter the other day took occasion to condemn
this scheme and the chance of its being adopted
is at least doubtful. An unofficial delegate from
the Anglican Church in Hawaii will be present
in the convention. who will convey the desire
of those whom he represents to become affiliated
with the Episcopal Church Of this country.
