Two Years Of Tammany.

1t is reported that District Attorney
Jerome of New York takes keen interest
in the suggestion that the election of Nc
Clellan as mayor means that the big city
will be run wide open for two years from
January 1. 1t Is to be remembered that
Jerome has himself two years yet to serve,
having been elected in 1901 for four years
He will have something to say~in regard to
the manner in which the laws are violated
OF course. he can expect little or no aid
from the police authorities in the procuring
of evidence, and his bills for expenses in
maintaining a special detective bureau will
doubtless be scrutinized and cut down ruth
lessly by the city officials. The controller
with whom he has recently engaged In a
battle of epithets is even now holding up
some of his accounts relating to his efforts
to ferret out violators of the gambling
laws.
But these adverse conditions are likely to
stimulate man like Jerome to even more
persistent efforts to punish law-breaking
He may be relied upon to keep the facts "f
any official obstruction to his work spread
plainly before the people. He believes i'll
publicity He has been criticised for dis
GUESSING important cases freely. He will
not be an easy victim of the familiar Tam
many process of suppression.
OF course. Tammany may run the town
wide open during the next two years, just
as IL did during the four years of Mayor
Van Wyck's administration. but it may
have learned lesson from the fact that
ever since the LeXow exposures of its vile
methods the big city has at alternate cleo
lions turned against 1t. Strong was elected
on a reform ticket Immediately following
those revelations. Then the town grew
tired of being good and chose Tammany
man for mayor. Then 1t swung to good
government again. and now it has swung
back to the men who stand in the public
eye for graft and license. This reflection
nay have either of two effects. 1t may
warn the Tammany crowd to be at least
ostensibly good in order to luil the public
conscience and SO hold on to power at the
next election; or 1t may incite 1t to ruthless
course. on the assumption that 1t will be in
for two years only and 1t might we'll
make the most of its short term

Europe and Panama.

The cable tells us there is general consent
in Europe that the United States Shall nave
a free hand in its movements in Panama
Why certainly. Our movements there are
not subject to revision in Europe or else
where. We have duties to perform which
are prescribed by treaty, and which we
have on several previous occasions per-
formed. They relate to the railroad traffic
across the isthmus, which must not be in
terrupted. Important, however, as 1t is to
all foreign interests that this line of COM
munication be kept open, the United States
is the only foreign power with authority to
deal with the question. In our absence
neither Great Britain, nor France nor Ger
many would be at liberty at this time to go
ashore and police that railroad from Colon
to the Pacific. Such step on the part of
either of those powers, or of any other
power would be warmly and instantly re-
scented by this country.
Our free hand means protection and not
injury to foreign interests on the sthmus.
A faithful performance of our duty there
must rebound to the benefit of all. Amer

ANA. and American bluejackets ashore.
mean security for both life and property in
both places And foreign interests on the
isthmus are largely found In those munich
palities There Is no occasion for disquiet
therefore either in London, Paris or Berlin.
The United States is on the ground, with a
force sufficient and authority sufficient to
safeguard the one feature of the situation
about which foreign governments. itself in
cluded are most concerned.
But notwithstanding all of this. which is
as plain as the day, We should prepare our
selves for the note of criticism which Is GER
tain to follow in all anti-American circles
in Europe. We shall soon be charged with
having melted this rebellion, and for our
own ends. The old charges in the case of
Hawaii and those in the case of Cuba will
be reviewed, and another count added to
the indictment that the United States has
now become a pirate, with territory as its
object: that our old ideals and aims have
all been abandoned. and that Central and
South America have very much less to fear
from Europe than from their powerful
neighbor to the north. And. as In the two
previous cases, this charge will find indorse-
ment in that portion of the American press
which finds it's most cOngenial employment
either in arraigning its own country, or in
subscribing to foreign arraignments.

Some candidates are elected on the
strength of their platforms; others in spite
of them. 1t is curious story. Two sue
cesses of the latter class have just been
achieved.
Major Vardaman made his campaign for
governor of Mississippi on the platform of
anti-negro education. He insisted from
every stump that money spent in educating
the negro was worse than wasted: that as
a matter of fact the expenditure simply UNI
fitted the negro for his proper sphere of &C
tivty and made him menace to society.
Major Vardaman was nominated and elected
governor. and told that his
views are not at all Endorsed by his constit-
uents. but that the negro schools through
out the state will be as literally supported
as ever by public taxation. 1t is to be hoped
that this may prove to be true. But what
explains the majors success? If he was in
no sort of agreement with the people on the
issue which he made paramount in the
campaign. why was he chosen over competi-
tors who opposed him on that issue?
George B. Mcclellan declared from the
beginning of his race for mayor of New
York that his candidacy meant nothing In
the interests of the lawless classes. He
pledged himself that II elected he would
give the town clean and wholesome ad-
ministration of it's affairs. His success at
the polls was extraordinary. and prominent
among those who contributed to 1t were the
saloon keepers and the sporting men, all
the advocates of wide-open town. Evil
IDENTIFY these men did not take the candidate
at his word. or they expected success from
the pressure they intended to bring to bear
upon him to change his mind in their be-
half. Within an hour after his election was
announced. the Tenderloin. the toughest
strip of territory this continent was

recollection of Mr.. McClellan's platform!
Or did they have greater confidence In the
ultimate triumph of their own platform?
These two cases are of interest, inasmuch
as we are approaching the problems or next
year. Is it necessary, as so many insist
that the national candidates shall stand
for well-defined party expectations? Or VIII
party labels as so often in the past, carry
a great many votes regardless of what the
candidates themselves may proclaim and
pledge themselves to? The electorate, on a
local. as on ational scale, now and then
exhibits some strange whimsicalities

Standpat "Logic."
1 the Springfield Republican


We shall now hear from the stand-pat-
tiers that surely the tariff must not be
touched when it is no longer yielding q
surplus of revenue. 1t was not to be in
terfered with before because it was pro-
ducing prosperity well as a surplus; but
now that it is failing to produce or maintain
prosperity. we are not to punish 1t for neg
lect of plain and obvious duty put upon
it, because a reduction of rates might re-
duce the revenue and none can be spared.
There's no catching the stand-patter empty
handed, for all is fish which comes into his
net.

states. But even their people have become
ashamed of the notoriety they have gained
for loose divorce laws and have taken steps
to curb the practice which has brought
them into such disrepute. New Jersey. as

treasurer and Will Matthews, asses.
sor. Williams won by majority of
66 votes and the others of the ticket
by majorities Of varying size. Neagle's
was the lowest, only about thirty, over
Walter Campbell for city treasurer.
The councilmen elected OHearn,
democrat, in the First to succeed him
self and Augustine, democrat, reflect
ed in the Fourth. The republicans
elected Bart Sinclair, Second, Chas.
Mccall, Third and DIR. Cole, Fifth.
Sinclair and Cole were reelected.
The Fourth ward was the republi.
can stumbling block. The poll of the
ward showed it to be long to Rice by
a good majority and when the votes
were counted the result was at great
variance with the expectations of the
party. Mr.. Rice carried the ward by
nine votes. The First and Second
wards were conceded to the demo-
Gratis, but the majorities that they
piled up here were larger than had
been figured from the republican view
point.
A Warm Contest.
The contest was the warmest ever
waged in the city and the largest vote
was cast that has ever been counted
in any election in the city. Almost
every voter was brought out to ex-
press his choice and the number of
votes cast was greater than the sum
total cast at the last presidential cleo
ton. Practically all the votes were
In by $50 o'clock and the vehicles
that had been working carrying voters
to the polling places were then dis
missed.
The new council will be composed OF
four democrats and six republicans
and 1t will remain practically the
same as during the past year, Chas.
Mccall being the only new member,
succeeding Frank Baker. All of the
others were reelected.
The Vote.
There were 2,241 ballots cast in the
city, Of which Williams received 1928
and Rice 1862. Neagle received 100
against 1867 for Campbell. The con-
test for assessor was three cornered
and resulted as follows: Matthews,
democrat. 1862, Woodruff, republican,
651 and Perry. Independent, S72.
The vote on councilmen in the sew
