WHY ARE THEY CANDIDATES
1t is hard to understand why so many
candidates should present themselves at
this time for the Republican mayoralty
nomination. No explanation which goes
to the question Of the substantial serv-
ice which may be rendered to the COM
munity through the mayors office dur
ing the next term will suffice.
The truth is that the mayor during the
coming two years will have very few
important public duties to discharge. The
only appointments that will be made by
him will be of minor Importance
The appointments made by Mayor
Smith during his term have given general
satisfaction. The police administration
will remain unchanged no matter who
may be elected, and the existing ma
! jorities on all the city boards~will re-
main unchanged whether the appointing
power is Democrat or a Republican.
The two leading Republican candidates
| are of course Messrs Kiefer and Doran.
The public knows them. Their party is
! not ignorant concerning them and their
achievements in the mayors office. They
| are both good citizens, and have a per-
feet right to seek denomination at the
hands of their party associates But it
is not forgotten, and is not likely to be,
that each of these gentlemen was effect
uaily told by his party at the end of his
term as mayor to go away back and sit
down. And they went back accordingly,
and took seats, and have remained sit
ting ever since.
There may be some reason now why
Republicans should reconsider their for
mer action relative to these gentlemen's
ambition to shine once more in the local
| executive chair; but if there is it is ap-
| parent mostly to themselves. There has
been no great public or party clamor
raised for their temperance as mayor
atty candidates, and there is none now;
but if these gentlemen are determined
to offer themselves on the altar of pub
lie devotion, so let it be. There are other
| directions however, in which they can
each render valuable services to the
community than that of the office Of
mayor, if their animating purpose is
the gain of their fellow citizens.

Il HOUSE IN THE 6rR.

The unanimous report of the isthmian
canal commission in favor of the Pan
anna route will occasion no surprise. It
could not have been otherwise. AS The
o be has already pointed out the
only consideration which operated to
cause the commission 20 recommend the
Nicaraguan route was removed when
the French stockholders decided to Of
fer their property to the United States
government for $4,000, co.,
1t is strange position in which the
house Of representatives now finds itself
as the result of its precipitate and fool
ish action in voting to disregard the offer
of the Panama people and in favor Of the
Nicaraguan bill. It is a peculiarly dis
creditable position which the Democratic
minority occupies in this behalf. AS
T e G o b has already felt called on
to point out, if there were anything ap-
preaching leadership among the minority
In the house no such action would have
been taken, or if it were it would have
been taken against a solid Democratic
opposition, instead of against the vote Of
one solitary member of that minority.
There is no course for the house now
to pursue but to recede from its foolish
position. The difference between the for
mer and the present offer is the difference
between $110,0oO,o00 and $4O,OO0,00O. That
difference, as every Congressman who
was qualified to vote on the question at
all should have known, was vital. and
involved an admission by the isthmian
commission that the Panama route was
the superior, everything considered. and
ought to be chosen.
The senate has now taken this matter
completely out Of the hands Of the house
The rattle-brained action of Hepburn
taken against the protest Of as old and
experienced member as Cannon, Of
Illinois, has utterly stultified that body.
or will so result when the body is called
on, as it will be, to reverse its action.
and eat lot of legislative crow.
One consideration in connection with
the matter which we hope viii not be
lost on the intelligent members of the
minority is that the course pursued by
that minority since the opening Of con-
gress is most discreditable one. and
| should be brought to an end.

of the law. The situation he declares
to be morally intolerable. In other words
the line which the doctor and those
who agree with him and who worked
with him for Lows election draw be-
tween publication and crime is wholly
obliterated by the Low administration
in the actual conduct of city affairs,
so that, as DR.. Parkhurst states it, at
is entirely indefinite what is civil right
eousness, wkat it is not" under the rule
of the fusion reformers in New York
city,.
This is the result in the great metropo-
lis of two weeks of moral publication in
actual operation through a political or
ganization whose only political capital in
the election was it's profession of moral
uprightness. 1t will be interesting to
watch the developments of the future
in this direction.

4no WEEKS OF REFORM.


1t is safe to say that every Democrat.
like every Republican, in the entire
country, would be pleased to see the ad-
ministration of Seth Low in New York
city successful if the profession of those
who sustained it at the polls could be put
into actual operation in the administra-
tion of city affairs. Were the choice left
to any intelligent and upright man to
have his own party friends placed in pow
er with the possibility that they would
administer the interests in their charge
TO the greatest advantage OF the public
or have the other party win, with the
certainty that that result would be ac-
complished, there is no doubt that his
preference would be for the exclusion
of his own party friends. It is because
this is true that SO many Democrats
voted for Seth Low for mayor, and that
so many Republicans from time to time
leave their party and vote Tor the oppo-
sition candidates.
1t was a belief in the certainty that
every corrupt and unworthy considera-
ton would be discarded that caused SO
complete a turnover to be effected in
the political concerns of Greater New
York. That the belief was no better than
a delusion all experience in municipal
politics had taught. That it was a delu-
sion is a truth which is now coming
home, not only to the Democrats who left
their party and its principal organiza-
ton, but to the men who stood sponsor
before the community for the absolute
adherence under all circumstances to
tdeal right by Seth Low and his admin
tstration if he were successful at the
polls
DR.. Parkhurst has shown that he seeks
only the welfare Of society in the prose-
cution of his aims In New York local
politics. He is not a self-seeker. and h,s
work has been effective in securing a
substantial measure of public purifca-
ton and uplifting in that community,
If he now declares his belief that Seth
Low is all wrong, and that his admins.
tration is in serious danger of classifying
all the professions which were effective
in calling it into existence, there can be
no question that he is convinced of the
right of his position, or that there is
substantial reason for his fears.
According to DR.. Parkhurst the first
two weeks Of Mayor Lows administra-
ton have operated to put it in the same
attitude borne by the former Tammany
administration toward the enforcement
