THE GIST OF IT,

The dispute between the City Council
and the Board Of Public Works is very
clearly defined. and forms no occasion
for ridicule, sarcasm or lnvidious re-
marks about any particular member OF
the council or Of the board, The Board
OF Public Works. or rather a majority
Of It's members, desired to displace the
secretary in favor Of another person.
Action was taken accordingly with
out any notice TO the City Council or
the Mayor. We believe the present
secretary was chosen by the board and
confirmed by the Mayor and City Coun-
ell. 1t is understood that he cannot be
legally removed or successor ap-
pointed, without action by those au-
thorities.
A resolution was introduced by Mr..
Eardley and carried by the council
only two members voting against it
which maintains the authority OF the
council and virtually nullihed the ac-
ton Of the board. In that motion. Mr..
Eardley simply put into form the senu-
ment Of the council therefore holding
him up to view as arrogating to him

MIR. wv TO LEAVE.

Minister WI, ChIna's representative
in this country, has said goodbye, and
there Is genuine regret in Washington,
both IN social and diplomatic circles,
at his departure
During the time Of the troubles In
Pekin, he rendered his country and
civilization in general the greatest SER
vice. IL was owing to his calmness,
and the confidence he enjoyed. that our
government was In a position 10 lead
IN the diplomatic negotiations that
ended 50 satisfactorily
No other diplomats here, recently,
have had such difficulties to contend
against, as he has had, and he has
proved himself a statesman Of no
mean quality. During the DISCUSSION
Of the question Of Chinese exclusion
from this country, he came very near
losing his temper, but he showed him
self an able diaectlclan, and It is a
question whether his opponents had the
better Of the argument.
One Of the good things Minister WI
has said Is, that the age OF deception
is gone. The modern diplomat, he said.
is no longer sent abroad to lie for his
country. No diplomat has more consplc-
uously illustrated this new order of
things than Minister WI. He has been
truthful 10 the extent of bluntness, and
even rudeness.
Diplomacy, then, has assembled from
the ethical level 1t formerly occupied.
II was Bismarck who said that In order
TO conceal a plan he only needed to
speak the truth about II, for then no
one would believe him. At that time
diplomats were expected TO "lie for
their country" II Is no longer SO. Truth
is expected to be spoken In the coun-
ellis Of nations, and we are not mistak-
en- In saying that this change for the
better Is largely due to the influence of
American diplomacy in the world.

NEW YORK BRIDGE FIRE.

What most forcibly strikes one about
the destructive fire which last night
swept over the unfinished East river
bridge is the apparent needlessness OF
me disaster. II, as seems likely the
cause Of the fire was simply the care
