BEWARE OF THE HEAD HUNTERS

The Sultan Of Morocco may possibly ere long
find his topknot missing as Sir Boyle Roche
might have said. One fine morning in China
several years ago that eminent Celestial Ii Hung
Chang woke up to discover that his lofty apex
was longer adorned with its customary pea
cocks feather. Surprises of that sort happen
now and then in Africa and Asia
Unless the august sovereign of Morocco keeps
a firm clasp on his fez he may perchanee, lose
not only his headpieee, but his head also Good
luck TO him throughout this New Year, But he
must not forget that the rebels who are fight
ing him are as insatiate head hunters as any

THE GERMAN TARIFF.

The German Government has got its tariff
bill. having forced it to enactment by extraor-
dinary means, which it justified on the score OF
necessity. The question now arises, What viii
it do with it? For while we speak of it as the
governments bill. it really is no such thing
That is to say, it is very different from the
measure originally introduced by the govern
ment and the differences are so radical in some
cases as to make it a matter of doubt whether
the new law will prove workable. 1t will be re-
membered that Count Won Btlow specifically de-
ciared that the rates provided in the original
bill were the highest under which it would
be possible to conclude commercial treaties.
But in the bill as enacted some of the rates are
considerably raised. Therefore, according to
the Chancellor, it will be impossible TO negoti-
ate commercial treaties upon the basis of this
law.
IT NAV be that the Chancellor spoke more
strongly than he meant, or that he mis-
TAKEN and that as a matter of fact it will be
possible to make commercial treaties the
basis of this measure. Such it is earnestly TO
be hoped will be the case. If not two courses
will be open to the imperial government, either
of which it would adopt with reluctance and
with we'll founded fears of evil results. 1t
might, on the one hand, ignore its own law, or
at least some of the more extreme features Of II,
by refusing or neglecting to enforce the most
extrayagant of the duties for which that law
provides But in any case such treatment of a
law is deplorable, and in this it would be
certain to raise furious political storm boding
trouble for the government which pursued such
course. Passions ran high enough over the
discussion, amendment and enactment IF the
bill From such as would be aroused By arbi-
trary reputation of it the government might
well shrink
The other course is to let commercial treaties
go and to engage in a tariff war 1t may be
that there are some in Germany who would
enter such campaign light heartedly but they
can scarcely be thoughtful and judicious lead
ers Germany is not so self-suficient that she
can face the prospect of tariff war with
equanimity. She purchases from abroad mere
than S440, 100000 worth of foodstufTs every
year the bulk of which is necessary to her IN
less she is to suffer famine. She imports $780,
600. 600 worth of raw material for her factories
without which her industries would fail She
imports $500, 100000 worth of manufactured
products. without which she would ne put to
grave straits. She cannot get along without
meat and grain and coffee and cotton and wool
and petroleum and copper and other things
which she procures from abroad. A tariff war
which would deprive her of these, or which
would greatly raise the cost of them to her con-
sumers would be disastrous thing We may
be sure the government will make every ex-
ertion to avoid such catastrophe, and there
is reason to hope that its exertions will prove
successful

CHTNAMEN IN NEW-YORK.

The All Sins of Gotham appear 10 be steadily
increasing in numbers. No doubt the Celestial
population here is recruited In part by smuggling
immigrants over the Canadian border; but it is
also true that New-York, above other American
cities is a magnet drawing queue wearers from
other places in the United States.
But the Chinese here are almost without ex-
ception quiet and peaceable and do no harm.
Manhattans Chinatown is not a disease breed
ing pesthoIe as Chinese settlements are said to
be in some regions of Asia and even Of Amer
lea The death rate in Mott-st., Pel-st and the
vicinity is not excessive, and most of the people
in that district are in fair health. Not few
of them live to a good old age.

P4RK IMPROVEMENTS.

The report of Commissioner WlllcoAs coln-
rnittee of experts on the state OF tentrai farh
disposes of the sensational scare which was
started hy an evening newspaper last summer
on the pretext of the sound reasons given by
the authorities for not opening the lawns to DE

conditions were not favorable 10 plant hie
as in Prospect Park. where people are allowed
on the grass. Immediately somebody 1uihpeo
fe fne conclusion that the park was dying, anu
,bat il corld only be saved by spreading two
feet of new soil over its whole surface. sueh
: thing WAS never contemplated by the Park
Department and in view of the report of the
experts will probably no longer he urged by
snybodr. Tests show that in most places the
soil Of the park is good and deep With some
additions of soil where new growths are con-
1emnfated IN rocky spots. and with proper care
snd ferfilizinp there is no reason for appre-
hension concerning the future of Central Park-
The experts Join in some recommendations
which reflect severely on past administrator

cut surfaces 70 protect them from rot Ap-
narently Tammany barbarism reigned supreme

is serious infection by fungi which have caused

5ions formed the habit of clearing away the
fallen leaves, not merely from the velvet lawns,

coy deserves credit for bis intelligent effort TO
secure the best possible advice as TO the treat
rnent of the park, and the specific recommenda-
,tous are so evidently in accord with common
sense and can be carried out at expense so
moderate that it is to be hoped the necessary
concentration will be granted for the purpose
Another recommendation of Commissioner
N,iIleox which should most certainly receive
attention concerns the Central Park lakes. The
condition reported there is simply intolerabie.
That tre great city of New-York should at any
time have used fits park lakes for cesspools is
scarcely credible, yet that is just exactly what
they are The sewage from the various cot

Frederick Edward Mckay yesterday announced
to expee sant world the future career Of Miss
Blanch Ring. whose plans since Mrs Oshorn'S

visions OF all London at her feet-not ordinary
Edna May visions. but the good old summertime
variety
Miss Rings career thus far has been rapid rise
She sang her way into public notice last year in
THE Defenders, with the popular ditty or the
production. She shone by contrast at Mrs. Os-
horns and emerged phoenixlike from the ruins
Of that enterprise into a position where she de-
clned several tempting offers from Fischer. Ham
lin Savage and others to link her fortunes at last
with George W. Lederer. who evidently does not
fear for her the fate OF Icarus.
