TIE PARTY ISSUE.

The foolish attempt OF Tammany 70 divert at
tentiOn from local issues by talking national
party politics viii not be effective while emf
nent opponents Of Republican national policies
and leading Democratic newspapers are sup
porting fusion. In view Of the work for fusion
being done by foes OF the Republican party and
Republican leaders, IL is really grotesque for Mr..
Grout 10 go about proclaiming that the fusion
cause, coincident with and because of his alli-
ance with Tammany, has become merely an
other name for machine Republicanism.
In this campaign the leading newspapers that
supported Mr.. Coler and tie Democratic party
last year and opposed Governor 0dell and the
Republican organization are working hard for
Mayor Low. They are 'The New-York Times"
The New-york World" 'sThe Brooklyn Ciu-
zen" and THE Staats-Zeitung" The Brooklyn
Eagle.~ a gold Democratic paper supports Mr.
Low. The New-York herald" which is allied
TO no political party, but is more often than not
Democratic IN its leanings is making a vigor-
Gus fight 10 keep the Tammany "grafters" out
So is "Tbe New-York Evening Post" a free
trade, contemporaries, anti-Repubiican journal
which never loses an opportunity TO show its
enmity TO Senator Plat and the Republican
State organization and 10 the national party
leaders IN other States. Here are seven impor-
tant end-Republican papers all working for Mr.
Lou. and not one OF them would be for him on
an issue or Repubncanisn against Democracy
Some Of them have severely criticised various

because he stands prominently for honesty
and civilized progress, while Mr. McClellau's

THE IS,0O0-TOy BATTLESHIPs.

The reorganized Board on Naval Construction,
which is of the same personnel as the preced-
ing one except that Admiral Charles w Rae has
taken the place of Admiral Melville as the engi-
neer member, has submitted its report on the
plans OF the two proposed 13O0O-ton battleships
The prediction that the report would be unani-
nous proves TO be erroneous, for Admiral r. g.
Bradford, ex-chief of the Bureau of Equipment
still differs from the other members on the dues-
ton Of speed, and advocates a speed of not less
than eighteen knots. 1t will be recalled that
Admiral Melville agreed with Admiral Bradford
on the first report. but his successor IL In accord
with the views OF Admiral O'Neil, chief of tbe
Bureau OF Ordnance and Admiral Bowles chief
Of the Bureau of Construction, who favor n
design giving the vessels Increased armament
and a speed of only seventeen knots Admiral
Bradford holds that the ships cannot be given
seventeen knots speed as designed. but only
sixteen and one-half knots, and he contends tbat
this half knot increase Of speed has been agreed
to by the majority without having made anv
change in the original design submitted

next to Murphy the chief power in Tammany

is. according to Mr.. Grout, one of the five mem

not know Monday night, but he knows now. that
Murphy himself is charged with the ownership
of disreputable resort. 1t is useless for him to
promise that under him the city would be free

THE ALASKAN SETTLEMENT.

The official announcement of the decision of
the Alaskan Boundary Commission substan-
TALLY confirms the dispatches which The AssO-
ciated Press sent from London last Saturday,
and for which it is now seen TO Re deserving OF
high credit In one or two respects the victory
Obtained by the United States appears TO be
even more decisive than it was supposed TO be,
our strategic control Of Portland Canal being
an important point which had been overlooked.
No surprise is felt in ths country at the intrin-
sic strength Of the argument presented in sup
port Of the American contention. The validity
of our title to the lttoral from Portland Canal to
Mount St Elias has never been doubted here. 1t
was derived from Russia. TO which it had been
conceded, after a hard controversy, by Great
Britain; it was not disputed for more than fifty
years, and there is no reason to suppose that
it would have been disputed in recent times If
the gold discoveries had not excited the cupidity
of Canada. If, as was originally thought prOba-
BILE the commission had divided evenly the
United States would have retained its right
full possessions, but the controversy would have
remained susceptible Of periodical revivals, with
constant possibilities of annoying friction. Lord
Alverstone's conscientious acceptance of proofs
which convinced his judgment settles the vexa-
tious dispute for ali time and leaves open no
troublesome question between Great Britain
and the United States.
1t is much to be regretted for their sake, and
for the sake of Canada, In far their atti-
tude is approved at home, that the Canadian
commissioners have shown themselves 10 be
peevish in defeat. Doubtless their disappoint-
ment is keen. They probably never hoped to
win. but they did not until recently expect to
lose. 1t is pity that in losing their case they
have also lost their composure and made q pain
full exhibition of qualities not suited to the
qurements of so high trust. But Canadian
resentment will, we hope, be short lived, and
ultimately be replaced by a recognition Of the
justice of the award as well as of the contribu-
ton which these memorable proceedings have
made to the preservation of good understand
ing between two great nations.

CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS NEEDED.

The campaign for the election of the fusion
ticket necessarily involves the expenditure
of "A large sum of money for the rent OF
halls for meetings. the erection of banners,
the printing and distribution of immense
quantities of literature and the maintenance
