Major Sylvester's orders to the police to
repress the small boys who usually take
advantage of the license of Halloween will
De approved by the great majority Of citi-
zens- This annual festival of fun has long
since passed its historic bounds Indoors
there yet remain many traces of the old
practices and superstitions harmless in
their pleasantly. Many gatherings are
given a delightful flavor of innocent prank
ing by the pursuit of the traditional games.
But outdoors the spirit of the carnival which
once prevailed has degenerated into wild
riot OF hoodiumism which should be sup
pressed with a severe hand. There is moth
ing to appeal to the honest sense of fun in
the wrenching Of gates from their hinges,
the bespattering of front doors. the idiotic
ringing of bells. the tripping of pedestrians.

The Democratic Plans.

The present democratic plans are as plain
as if they were written on the billboards Of
this city. They are Shepard for mayor in
1901, Coler for governor in 1902, Shepard,
If he should be elected in 1901 for re-elec-
tion in 1903, and then the candidate for
President in 1904. That is figuring a long
way, ahead, but that is business method,
and business method Is entering into poll
tics in most amazing fashions nowadays 1t
was lack of preparation on the part of ad-
ministration managers that enabled BRYAN
to be nominated in 1896, and it was because
the Bryan1tes kept campaigning for four
years after 1896 that made his renomina-
tion in 1900 political necessity Shepard
made himself regular by supporting Bryan
In 1900, and has further enhanced his avail
ability as a regular by becoming the Tam
many nominee for mayor in 1901

The Betting Indications,


Absence of Shepard money was a conspic-
uous feature of the election betting situation
in Wall street yesterday. On the other
hand, Low currency was very much in evil
dence. Betting admirers of Tammany' s
candidate in the financial district are now
asking even money. In consequence of this
condition the prediction was freely made
that Low will be favorite in the betting on
election day.
sions of Tammany men and offering odds of
to on Shepard admitted yesterday that
their money had all been placed They also
stated that If they make any more wagers
they will likely be placed on a dollar for
dollar basis.

Chile's Attitude.
From the Louisville Courier-Journal,


There are indications that Chile takes
herself too seriously. That she is war
like power is true and resourceful for
her size But she is far from being able
to meet the world, or even the western
hemisphere, in arms. The truth is Chile
has two provinces which belong to Perm
and is holding them by force. She does
not wish to arbitrate her right to them
because she apprehends that the decision
would go against her, as apparently it
ought TO 90. Sne Is strong enough to hold
them against Peru and so wishes the mat
ter to rest there Her withdrawal from
the congress would destroy its unanimity
but 1t would hardly wreck it.

sageways, the soiling of clothes. the up
roofing of plants and the other forms of
sheer vandalism which often prevail on
that night. A police crusade against the
perpetrators of such tricks will make not
only for better order throughout the city,
but perhaps for a more wholesome appre-
citation of the true spirit of Halloween.

For Short Messages,
From the Springfield Republican.

Mr. Roosevelt's decision to write all of
his first message to Congress is declared
to be an innovation inasmuch as hitherto
the various secretaries have written those
portions of the message which concerned
their departments. The President would be
sure of popular favor if he made the mes
sage short. AS the country has grown big
