Attack on Greene.

Much interest has been manifested In
the attack made by George 3. Mcclellan
on General Francis V. Greene, late head
OF the asphalt trust and now police
commissioner.
Mr.. Mcclellan based his charge that
Greene was not fit TO hold Office upon
the revelations OF the iniquities of the
asphalt trust promoters. He declared
that II elected mayor he would neither
appoint General Greene nor ANY man
of General Greene's reputed character"
The Democratic candidate spoke in
Carnegie Hall, and his announcement Of
his position concerning Greene was
greeted with a storm OF cheers and
shouts OF Fire them OUT
"A newspaper he said. contains ..
report OF a speech made by Mr.. Jerome.

tinued TO be n slight favorite. although
most Of the betting was done at even

result in forcing odds. but developments
did not officially prove this.
Tammany bettors would not. as rule.
give odds. They had plenty OF money
at evens. but the Fus:cnists were in
clined TO hold of for concessions. The
result was that not many large or i'm
portant bets are being made Never
theless the Fusion bettors, when they
found that the Mcclellan followers
would not give odds, laid their money
with considerable aggressivenesS.
on Thursday. when at least $50. 900 was
wagered at evens, both sides were con-
fident of the success OF their respective
candidates.

Not to Be Reappointed.

Under no circumstances shall / ap-
point Mr. Greene as police commissioner,
nor shall / appoint az police commits
sioner any man Of Mr.. Greene's reputed
character. He has been charged with
one Of the most serious crimes which,

that, acting in a fiduciary capacity, he

associates. with hundreds OF thousands
Of dollars, buying up corporations for

them to the corporation for which ne

DIPLOMACY MINUS FoLpERoL

ST. Paul Globe-The American press
and telegraph cooperating with YAM
kee commonsense and the influence of
American wives upon foreign ambass-
adors, have robbed diplomacy OF all
its pristine mystery and romance, it's
evasion and delay, it's decentralization
and ceremonial nonsense, and placed
it of a sudden on practical business
like basis.
Such prompt vigorous, brusque and
businesslike people as the present for.
eign ministers in Washington were
never before known in the diplomatic
world. The British German, French
and even Italian ministers appear even
Yanli aefied They actually do things
they get around at business hours.
They get action They use street
cars, telephones and the telegraph.
They wire their communications to the
home governments and get back
answers as promptly as if two bust
ness houses were making deal. Their
language has become simple. intelligi-
Bile and to the point. They size each
up as plain men, and talk like men.
They have become transformed into
creatures of human blood and bone,
with human faults and frailities, and
none of the grandiose gamor that for
merly concealed the person and doings
of a minister plenipotentiary or an en-
voy extraordinary. For once in the
history of the world the people know
daily what is going on in the diplomat
ic circle and have an intelligent idea
of the issues. All of which is whole
some and refreshing.
Minister Bowen's lightninglike I'M
derstanding of the situation and his
blunt spoken and direct methods OF
getting at the kernel of the point in
dispute have aided materially In bring
ing diplomacy down to brass tacks,
in the present emergency. His pla
statement III the British note that al
liances We're not wanted on this side
and that what America wanted was
peace and settlement by arbitration
instead of the perpetuation OF war al
liances was a bombshell which pre-
cipitated protocols and an appeal to
The Hague tribunal in a rush.
Equally vigorous and TO the point
was his retort to the petty bluff OF The
German government for the advance
payment of $4,000 after that propo-
sition had already been given up on
the signed agreement CT the German
representative. To make this point
plain Minister Bowen told the German
government that il it would make pub-
lie confession that it does not stand
by its agreements signed by its duly
accredited diplomats. he would raise
and pay the $4,000. This bold and
pointed intimation will doubtless suf-
lltice TO bring the eniDerOr's diplomats
with their high pretensions of ceremo-
NAL honor, to the scratch and stop
| their nonsense.
The high and mightiness that doth
hedge king has Its parallel in the fol-
derol and hypocrisy that that doth en-
| velop and befuddle an imperial dip
lomat We have helped them this time
TO get off the ceremonial high horse
/, and get down to bed rock business, and
! it will do the world lots OF good.

WHY DO PRESIDENTS GROW FAT?

Minneapolis Tribune: Why should
Presidents of the United States take

dents do not live more luxuriously
than trust magnates, who generally re.
main lean and hungry in the midst of
good cheer. But it is undeniable that
they have grown fat in Office ever
since the strenuous time of the civil
war.
Grant grew fat in the White House
and lean again in Wall street Hayes

Between sweating in the swamp, dodg

New York, Feb. 25.-The Evening

effect that anarchists from all over the

Mr.. Armstrong, for obvious reasons,
has not indicated in any way his plans
in the conduct of the great customs

that, following the line adopted in the
treasury department, the new assist

way, seek to1fstrengthen weak spots
