THE MURPHY STANDARD.

If Colonel Michael c. Murphy at the present
juncture does not perfectly realize Tammany $
ideal of a Poiice Commissioner ii would he use
less for anybody else TO attempt TO fill the bill
in case the Colonel should be called hence. 1t
is impossible to conceive of a better admins
fration. from the rammany point OF view. than
that which he is giving us. His composure and
complacency are absolute. Nothing that he does
not wish 10 see intrudes itself upon his vision.
He hears nothing that it is inconvenent to hear.
His mind is closed to all impressions which
might by any chance prove troublesome. or
course. we refer 10 the Colonel in his public
capacity. AS a private individual his eyes. his
ears and his intellectuals doubtless all right.
1t is obvious that Commissioner Murphy has
formed himself on the model of Sir Joseph
Porter. X. C. b., 10 whom it made all the diff
ference in the world whether n thing happened
officially or otherwise. Raids? Raids he
asked yesterday. What raids? do not know
officially that there have been any raids" Per
sonaIly he is aware that fifty more have
been conducted without his assistance, and with
q large measure of success but nothing of the
sort has occurred within the knowledge of the
Police Commissioner. Consequently there is no
reason TO suppose that so much as a single
gambling establishment is doing business here.
The town wide open? Absurd The presump-
ton is that it is shut tight. Anybody can make
what private persons may justly call a raid
taking prisoners capturing apparatus and pro-
ducing great excitement in the neghborhood
But a performance of that sort has no official
significance Officially, indeed. there is no such
thing, and therefore the Coloners tranquility is
unruffied.
This does not mean merely that the outward
man is serene Far from il. Officially he is
filled with inward peace There is an official
rainbow in his soul. His little secret monitor
is in perfect official condition. His feet are
planted in the path OF official duty. and he is
only waiting for the official word GO" LET
them come TO me with warrants" he says with
a proud consciousness of official virtue, land
will do all the raiding that is necessary" Per
haps there was never before so impressive an
embodiment of the Tammany spirit The expo
nents of the organization in public places. and
especially I'm the Police Department, have
always cherished the conviction that private
citizens ought TO do the principal part of their
work for them, but they have generally lacked
the nerve TO proclaim that view of the fitness
Of things as the true principle of action. The
most cynical observer of municipal affairs must
cOncede that Colonel Murphy is making rapid
progress. lie developed some highly interest
ing qualities as president of the Health Board
but it was not until he had been inducted into
his present office that he really began to find
himself. Mr. Croker ought to be entirely salts
fed with his Police Commissioner

Empire and closing of the commercial doors
Of the Russian parts of it against all the world.
Two cannot walk together unless they are
agreed, and it would indeed be an anomaly for
the United States desiring the open door, to
side against Great Britain, also desiring the
open door, and with Russia, committed to the
policy Of the closed door.
There is. of course, no occasion for harsh
words or feelings over any phase of the matter.
Russia, if she demands large cash indemnity
in addition to her territorial compensation, may
point to the example which Germany set with
the worlds acQuiescence, in 1871. in eXacting
huge cash payment from France besides the
cessiOn of Alsace- Lorraine And Russia has as
good a right TO believe in the closed door as
America to believe in the open door. Moreover.
two countries can disagree radically on such
matters and yet remain cordial friends. But all
the complex circumstances of the case serve
only TO emphasize the wisdom of this country S
pursuing steadfastly that course which best
cOmports with its own welfare irrespective of
any intrigues or entanglements which may exist
among other powers America went into China
last year to protect her own interests and TO
serve the cause of common humanity, and not to
pull any other nations chestnuts out of the fre

for all the people the day when popular opin-

IN iRBOREIL TR1GEDI.

''1n the spring the fancy of every man who
has fancy in his composition turns to the
renewing beauties of nature in grass and flower
and tree. With many fancy leads to nothing
more than contemplation and enjoyment of the
beautiful. With many others it leads to practi-
cal action to the cultivation of at least rood
of ground, or TO caring for few plants or
single tree. From time to time the benefcent
tree planting societies. issue appeals for the
observance of Arbor Day, hints and instruc-
tions to the time and manner of planting
trees along our city streets-where trees are
more sOrely needed than almost any other
spot on the whole earth's surface.
All of which is we'll But what shall say
of the counter spectacle which is to-day pre-
sented along a great part of NewYorks chief
thoroughfare? Last year there was superb
array of stately elms, old enough and large
arcade, yet young enough to give assurance of
a century's further usefulness. To-day there is
an array of stumps, interspersed with pros
trate trunks and clOven branches. And this
summer and in every summer henceforth that
once we'll shaded street will he a glarng ugly
and desolate Sahara. "In the name of Prog

more depressing sight to the lover of natural
beauty and to the lover of urban adornment
than that which is presented in upper
Broadway. No doubt the underground road
should be built. and should be built there. But
ii is an indeible reproach upon our civic taste
and pride that it should he accompanied with
such Disagreement of the city, and equally n
reproach TO our vaunted thrift that it should
have been permitted to entail such enormous
and irreparable loss as the wanton and need

DISCRETION NEEDED on THE CART

1t would be interesting, perhaps vastly divert
ing, to know what principles guide the naughty
potentates who preside over the sprnkling carts
which scatter adventtious Croton upon our
thoroughfareS. The ordinary man supposes
street sprlnkling TO be done for the purpose OF
laying the dust and accordingly thinks it should
be done most where there is most dust, and not
at all where there is no dust. No such phioso-
ply is known, however, TO the high minds of
the asperging deities. Apparently they hold 10
the primitive rule that water seeks its own
level. or 10 the Scrptural declaration that unto
him that hath shall be given Wherefore they
direct their leaking chariots to the damp, cool
dustless, sodden places, and scrupulously shun
even the slightest trespassing upon the sun
smitten wastes of dust.
The other forenoon, for example, watering
carts were busy upon Fifth-ave, but all upon
one side. And that side was the eastern one.
upon which the sun had not yet shone There
was no dust there. On the contrary the surface
of the asphalt was coated with reeking. half
sticky, half-sppery compound, resembling
used-up axle grease. Upon this the carts poured
their floods which were not sufficient to wash il
away. but merely to render it more offensive
and more dangerously slippery to the feet of
horses 1t was unsafe TO drive upon 1t as it
would be to drive upon wet ice. AS for the
western half of the roadway, it was sunny and
dry and somewhat dusty, and so 1t remained
The watering carts went by on the other side
Why, indeed, should they have sprinkled good
water where the would so quickly have
dried it up?
One of these days may become sufficiently
civilized TO wash the streets quite clean every
morning, and then scatter clean sand over the
wet asphalt. so that there will be no dust and
no mud and no slipperiness. But that time is
still afar off in the golden future
