4 FEW REASONS WHY.

why" it is asked by the Presidents Sena-
torial critics, this great anxiety before any
disturbance had occurred?' The Panama
revolution did not occur until November 4. But
ON November / the government at Washington
sent instructions TO its naval agents how to act
when it did occur. How did the government
come TO have such foreknowledge? And why
''this great anxiety before any disturbance had
soccuFredg" Answers are easily given. The
government knew revolution was impending
and il knew what the aim Of that revolution
would be, because il was as we'll informed as the
average American citizen. For at least six weeks
those matters had been notorious to the whole
country. The newspaper press had been freely
discussing the intention OF Panama in certain
contingency 20 rebel, and not only to rebel, but
20 secede and declare its independence. There
was no secret about IL Government officers at
Washington could not help knowing about it.
e they read the newspapers. Knowing about
1t, it was their duty to prepare for it, and
when the contingency was reached, TO feel
great anxiety" concerning it, even before any
disturbances had occurred"
Why? Because OF American interests there
which would need TO he safeguarded. Be-
cause OF American treaty rights there, which
would need TO 5e maintained Because of
American treaty obligations, which would need

whether those gates were TO be closed, and in
definitely kept closed, by further interminabIe
conflicts like those OF which that isthnus had
been the scene Of eighteen in the last twenty
years. With that question before it, for its de-

BROOKLYN ACADEMY PLANS.

We are glad to see vigorous movement on
foot TO secure q new Brooklyn Academy Of
Music and TO secure ii upon or near the old
site. No place is so generally accessible and
at the same time otherwise suitable as the i'm
mediate neghborhood of the historic building
just destroyed. All transportation lines con-
verge close by, while the academy itself is just
enough removed from the congestion of traffic
10 be freed from noise and to be approached
comfortably by carriage or on foot While
Brooklyn has spread out vastly In all direc
tions, it centres in the neighborhood of the
Borough Hall and Montague-st for social and
civic purposes. The Brooklyn Library the
Long Island Historical Society, the Art Associa-
ton, the chief hotels and clubs are near BY In
that region, too, is found in q larger measure
than in any other possible site for such a build
ing the opportunity to erect a structure which
in its surroundings as well as itself will have a
monumental character and dignity. In some
of the new parts of Brooklyn the same condi-
tons might be found, but they are too far from
the centre, while the sites proposed at various
points under the shadow of the Fulton-st. ele-
waited railroad, or in some narrow street Of
cheap buildings around a corner from 1t, are
utterly unworthy of such an institution as the
Brooklyn Academy OF Music has been and
should be in still larger measure
Except from a financial point of view, the
old Montague-st. site is almost perfect. But
its value is high for such purpose. Yet it is
not too high, If 1t is the best site and Brook
lyn's civic pride is equal to its thriftiness and
reluctance to n valuable plot used for an
academy when it might bring in more money
for an Office building. For that matter. the
plot where the Beecher statue stands would
produce more If planted TO cabsages But why
is it not possible to have the academy and re-
alize the value Of the land at the same time?
Back OF the old academy is land fronting in
Remsen-st. OF much less value than that in
Montague-st. If n good sized plot, either who'll
ly or partly in the rear of the burned blocl,
could be acquired at reasonable rate. then a
combined opera house and business building
could be erected which would realize n hand
some income for the corporation while furnish.
ing an academy admirably located
The auditorium and stage could be placed on
the cheaper land in Remsen-st., while the Mon
tague-st. front could be carried up ten or fif
teen stories for offices. and only enough spaee
given UP to the academy 70 furnish suitable

PUBLICITY THE BEST JUSTICE.

The Senators opposed to General Wood, we
believe, first wanted open sessions. and while
testimony was being given against him his
critics complained tits weight and signif-
canoe were not allowed to become known to the
public. Now the Secretary Of War declares
that testimony favorable to General Wood has
not merely been suppressed, but entirely per-
verted- The newspapers are not to blame for
this. They can only report what comes to
them from those having access to the hearings
and are at the mercy of the leaky vessels, who
are generally supposed to be witnesses eager
to tell their testimony again to a larger au-
dience. The only way to secure a fair presenta-
ton Of the case in the newspapers is to give
them authentic information. Then those who
want the truth-and almost without exception
they all do-will be able to get it and do justice
while the few who might be ready to misrep-
resent the facts will be constrained not to do
so from the possibility of invoking the record
to refute them.
The present secrecy is becoming merely a ref
uge for the libeller Anybody who thought to
save General Woods reputa ton by keeping the
accusations against him from being accurately
reported made mistake The secrecy tended
10 create the impression that General Woods
friends were in dread and seeking to suppress
the facts of his career and also gave an air OF
mystery and Importance to testimony which, if
openly presented, might have been dismissed
everywhere as trivial Removal of the seal of
secrecy now, at a considerable time after the
testimony was taken and the inaccurate report
made, would not entirely cure the difficulty
The public will not go back and read the de-
tails of past events to correct its previous mis-
information. Nevertheless, it would do some
good. 1t would put a check upon future mis-
I ran 1fntfn
to keep up the controversy by repeating garbled
reports Of the testimony he could be brought
to book by an appeal to the testimony as taken
Public opinion in the Wood case may be almost
as important as the judgment OF the Senators
who have the power 10 pass upon his nomina-
/ ton. A rejection which did not commend itself
to the popular sense of justice would be unfortu-
nate. On the other hand, a confirmation unac-
companied by evidence that the serious cbaroes
made against General Wood, and lodged in the
public mind in inaccurate and perhaps exagger-
ated form, were rightly disregarded in od
vancing him would interfere with his usa
fulness and standing. The case itself il not
secret. The Vindication, to be complete and SAT-
isfactOry, cannot be. If the testimony really
amounts TO nothing, the best way to render II
harmless is to invite everybody TO make the
most of it. Any other course merely offers on
portunity for the enemies OF General Wood To
say that he was 'whitewashed" That must
be the last thing that General Wood could de.
sire If he were home to defend himself.

entrance and subsidiary rooms. These would
not have to be so large or so high as to inter-
fere with offices above, as would be the case If
the auditorium were put into the front part
By having the building run through to Remsen-
st. safety and comfort would be promoted.
Egress on two sides would thus be provided.
If it is found possible thus to realize on the value
of the Montague-st. land while keeping the
academy practically on its old site, Brooklyn
will secure creditable opera house creditably
placed. 1t ought to be more than an opera
house. 1t should contain halls suitable for con-
certs and chamber music, and in other respects
be that centre of the musical life of the bor-
ough for which some Of its most devoted men
and women have long been working. If they
can now combine their efforts with those of
the stockholders of the old academy something
worth while may be done.

other last Sunday, were attended by fairly
copious rainfall, but both transacted their bust
ness with gratifying celebrity. Hence there has
been an almost unbroken succession of cloudless
skies for many weeks.
During the current month. too, and especially
during the last few days, the oscillations OF the
mercury have kept within n singularly narrow
range. Once more the residents of this city
and its vicinity have had chance to witness
old-fashioned settled cold weather" So VIC
lent and sudden are the changes in these lati-
tudes during the greater part of the year that
such stability is almost as exceptional as some
of the eccentricities observed last spring and
summer, although fer more agreeable. If the
clerk of the weather should vouchsafe con-
tinuance of this state of things until after the
holidays, much of his past heartlessness will be
forgiven.
