PERMANENT NON-PARTIsANsB1p

Mr. Edward NJ. Shepard has just been over in
Philadelphia giving academic expression to the
theories Of municipal government in accordance
with which he convinced himself of his duty to
become the Tammany candidate for Mayor at
the recent election. Mr. Shepard does not be-
lieve in non-partisanship. He thinks it an ''iri-
descent Dream delusion and snare. Parties
must govern cities, and it is impossible and
would be wasteful if it were not impossible to
maintain distinct parties for national State and
local politics and separate the citizens along
new lines OF cleavage in each case. He says:
The reformers are imbued with the idea-and
I frank to say L once believed in it myself
though it is now fifteen years since L to
take different VieW-the idea that we could at
least completely separate the necessary politics
of city administration from the politics of our
nation or of our State. That idea has been tried
again and again without any very great success.
This doctrine as an apology for Tammany and
an excuse for continuing it in power was famil-
lar in the last campaign. 1t is not now neces-
sary to examine its application to local con-
ditOns, or to inquire how Mr.. Shepard, since he
had given up this non-partisan idea fifteen years
ago, able four years ago to advocate nom
partisanship and the election Of Mr.. Low, which
he this year opposed on the ground that Mr.
Low was no longer true non-partisan. All
that has TO do with a contest which has been
gated is worthy of examination. There are
certainly discouragements for any aposue of
municipal non-partisanship to face Attempts
| 10 secure it have frequently failed and, as Mr.
| Shepard points out, municipal parties may be
corrupt, like national parties, though it is OBJ
vious that corruption in a party often finds its
| security in the fact that persons who would
revolt against it in any one sphere of govern
ment tolerate abuses in city State for what
| they regard the more important object Of pre-
venting a wrong policy from prevailing .in the
nation through the weakening of a party organ
! ization responsible at once for the abuses they
condemn and the policy they approve Thus
Mr. Shepard was willing to keep Tammany in
power if he could use it to rehabilitate the party
| in general.
How far under our present organization of
cities the interest of national parties in local
| politics can be discouraged is debatable Local
| patronage and expenditure are tremendous
| power which national politicians desire TO con-
| troll But when Mr.. Shepard declares, If we

Union. and Cuban sugar were consequently ao-
mitted to our markets free of all duty, our beet
sugar industry would still be amply pfotecIeo.
And even If the tariff on all sugar were aDoi-
ished as il was under the Mckinley DILL the
Infant industry" of beet sugar would not suffer,
since we can prodrce beet sugar here more
cheaply than they can in Germany. Moreover
the same letter went to discuss the situation
the beet sugar industry would be in were such
universal free trade in sugar adopted, ana 10
demonstrate with facts and figures that the
factories could continue TO pay the farmers the
present prices for the beet roots and still make
the handsome net profit of s. a ton
In the face of these authoritative and volun-
tary declarations of only two years ago. with
what consistency can the beet sugar interests
now oppose reciprocity with Cuba! IL IN 1898
they had nothing TO fear from free trade IN
sugar with Cuba and all the world what can
they have to fear in 1901 from only % per
cent reduction in the duty on Cuban sugar alone:

ENGINEERING, OLD AND NEW.

Wonderful builders of bridges were those old
Romans, and some of their best work still en-
dures And the modern Yankee is no laggard
in raising huge structures over big rivers and
broad arms of the sea. While the eagles OF the
Caesars were carried in triumph from Persia to
Scotland from the Baltic TO the great desert of
Africa, stately and majestic indeed were the
stone arches of the empire. But there were no
tunnels of any scope among the ancents. This
will be century of such tunnels, and such
bridges Also as the world has never yet known
The Titanic structures of the Old World
amazed the centuries, but this practical genera
ton is not content with primeval methods The
catacombs of this era not used for burial;
the wide. deep. long galleries are not dug out
for the dead, but for the living. The TWEEN
tieth century will tunnel many of the chief
rivers of the world wherever the interests of
civilization can be advanced by the opening of
such caverns far below the currents of famous
streams.
The tunnels under the Alps are colossal under
takings, but every one of them has ample rea-
son for the vast expenditure and the prodigious
labor required. And the marves and miracles
of the most adventurous engineering of the past
will surely be excelled by the triumphs of the
engineering of the future.
