taken as a rscord. and Il may also he as

The Violation OF the Parks.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sr: ! noS1os
In this mornings Sun an explanation by
President Clausen OF the Park Department
why he caused a breach 10 be made In the
Riverside Drive wall at Eighty-si1th street.
IL seems TO me that this Is also the time for
to explain why he caused the pedestrian
entrance to the Central Park at Fity-ninth
street and Seventh avenue TO be altered into
a combined carriage and equestrian en-
trance. Unless the Commissioners In charge
OF our magnificent parks are fully alive to
the supreme importance OF preventing tho
first encroachment there Is no telling where
such encroachments may end.
It seems TO me that this Ia q most serious
breach Of the trust placed In the hands OF
President Clausen. The whole design Of tho
southern entrances to the Park and the walks
and driveways are violated by this breach.
You will recall TO mind that during the con-
struction Of the elevated railroad the pro-
jectors OF that enterprise. at the time. at
tempted to run through Fnty-ninth street.
cutting OF three OF the entrances TO the Park,
and they had already begun to dig at Sixth
avenue on the Park side to locate pillars for
the structure. A meeting was hastily called.
to prevent this outrage. Governor Robinson
WAS called into action and after a long contest
the Elevated railroad projectors were de
feated in this attempt to ruin our beautiful
Park. The destruction Of the Seventh
avenue entrance to the Park is to my mind
an opening wedge for limos any sort OF
encroachment hereafter.
You will please a number Of your reader,
II you will be good enough to call the atten-
ton OF the Park Commission and Of the public
generally TO this outrage. You will also have
brought TO your attention no doubt. that
another entrance has been made on the
Eighth avenue side for private convenience,

China would at once sign the convention
by which Manchuria would be gradu-
ally converted into a Russian province,
and Japan would In despair
her present purpose of resisting Russia's
requirement of ascendancy In Corea,
or even the construction OF n Russian
naval fortress on the southeastern
end of the peninsula, which would assure
the command of the direct route from
vladivostock to Port Arthur. Neither
have we yet summed up the whole OF
the advantages that might accrue TO
Russia from England's friendship. NJ.
DE WITTE Is aware that, ~ a borrower,
he has gone almost the length Of his
tether in France. IL Is as yet uncertain
whether even the Cars last visit has
made It possible to float a new Russian
loan in Paris. To the Russian Govern
ment, therefore, il Ia a matter OF tran
scendent moment to gain access for its
securities 10 the London market. Thus,
and thus only, could NJ. DE WHITE be
perfectly sure of obtaining the funds
needed 10 carry out the canals, railways
and other public works that have been
planned on u colossal scale.
Hardl less patent Is the profit that
France might derive from England's
adhesion 70 the Triple Alliance. As
it is, the combined naval force OF France
and Russia is more than a match for
that Of Germany, Austria and Italy.
With the weight Of England thrown
into the French scale, the German Navy
would be reduced TO impotence, and
German commerce would be annihi-
lated. With England's co%untenance,
moreover France would find IL rela-
lively easy to pursue a policy OF ex-
pansion in Syria, in Central Africa,
in southwestern China and perhaps in
Morocco also. Above all, she would
be relieved from the drain on her fnan-
cial to which she has been sub
jected by her Russian ally.
As for England, il seems manifest
that a friendly understanding with
Russia and France would put An end
TO all her troubles. It would free her
from a~pprehensions Of attack in India
or in any other part Of the globe; would
deliver her from the necessity OF adopt
ing even a modified form OF conscrip-
ton, and would leave her at liberty
to acquire ascendancy in the vast basin
Of the Yangtse Kiang.

The Devil Of Salem /.

A few days ago we were Obliged to
record that the Devil was suli doing
business al his old stand in Salem, Mass.
Perhaps he has a fondness for the scene
OF his old mountaineering devil
tries. Perhaps it tickles his devilish
sense OF humor TO raise himself n
perturb the august propriety OF the
most respectable of towns. At any
rate, he reused the Salem folks to mu-
tiny and a and malicious mischief
In their City Hall; and he old rasca
Is still gambolling there.
The present Mayor Of Salem Is the
Hon. JOHN F. HURLEY. specifically
known as JOHN f." The outbreaks
of devilry having occurred under JOHN
f.. the more solemn and delectable
Salemites determined to drive out both
JOHN and NICK. SO they sought a
former Mayor, Il man OF distinguished
ancestry and appearance, he Hon.
RoRRRT SAMUEL RANToUL. and asked
him TO save them from Old NICK and
JOHN F. Mr.. RANToUL consented, no
doubt at great personal sacrifice. JOIN
r. hurries, hustles, makes a noise He
is a discord in Salem. His methods
are too brisk. Mr.. RANToUL Is digni-
fed, impressive. in tune with Salem
We might compare him to the Massa-
chusetts Historical Society and JOHN
F. to a brass band. JOHN F. means
well, but after all he is scarcely n OF
the real Salem folks. Now the RAN
roULs come from Beverly, we believe,
but they are adopted and accepted as
Salem folks. It was RAYToUL against
HURLEY, conservatism against radical
ism. Could there be a doubt that Salem
would be true to herself?
The Salem folks forgot that the gen.
tleman with the horns is older even than
they BY several diameters, When the
votes had been counted, ROBERT h
Good had 2,9Il and JOHN +. had $500.
Let us go with a reporter Of the Boston
Globe and call on the victor:
Mayor HuRLEI's big diamond stud We'd with
the sparkle Of his eye and his silk hat had an extra
polish As he strobe downtown this afternoon 70
his once al City Hall. where he found numerous
letters and kilograms OF reorganization. Success

stl chafed his left ear. and he had not dofed
the sack coat for the more Impressive frock. The
Mayor has been lighting ever since he was in
ausurated. but he Is going to suspend the siren
uous life until after the new year. Then. With
four Aldermen ready 70 support him. he intends to
roll I'D his sleeves and weed out some OF the old
fossils tina, impede the progress Of public business
In Salem"
Weed out some Of the old fossilsl
The phrase is mixed but ominous. What
is the world coming TO IL fossils can

England and the Dual Alliance.

IL is not surprising that the recent
outbreak of Anglophobia in Germany
should have caused a good many SEN
sible Englishmen to consider the expe-
diency OF reversing their countrys
traditional policy toward Russia The
National Rerieu, which is understood
TO speak for several influential MEM
bes Of the Salisbury Government,
warmly advocates a cordial under
standing between England and Russia,
and to that end IL willing 10 see large
concessions made 10 the Gar and also
TO his French ally. The London Times

favor the same change OF front, pro-
uded the concessions made 10 Russia
do not include a naval station on the

Never mind the glass he replied. I'll

"Of course, we all insisted that he take

that the capltulation of the Southern strong

II is clear that this state OF things
is not apt to modify the feeling OF
dissatisfaction at present exhibited by
the Association Of American Automobile
Manufacturers toward the chaufleurs
in this country, owing to the latters' use
of foreign-made vehicles. But, SO far as
concerns the ultimate success OF the
present movement on the part OF the
Frenchmen, people who = familiar
with the competitive resources OF the
American manufacturers will be slow
to believe that il will work very much
