THE SANE OLD PARTY,

A wise American once saiE: The Democratic
party can generally be depended upon to make
q fool Of Itself" This is pretty sweeping in
dictment Yet in the light Of experience it
seems amply justified. The record of the party
for the last fifty years has been one long sue
cessien OF political blunders 1t has espoused
every known heresy~ and folly, and even in its
intermittent attempts to return TO safety and
sanity" 1t has shown a curious incapacity to
gauge or utilize the forces Of popular sentiment
The Democratic party like the Bourbons. for
gets nothing and learns nothing. When it nOmi-
mated Judge Parker for President last year it
committed as monumental a blunder as when
1t nominated General George B. Mcclellan for
President in 1864 and denounced the war as a
failure" The densest Bourbon politician might
have been expected to draw some morals from
the 1904 election. Yet there are Democratic
leaders who seem TO have profted in no way from
that drastic and Christening lesson.
Massachusetts is TO elect a Governor this fall.
and the Democratic managers in that State are
busy demonstrating their inability to apply the
simplest rules of logic TO politics. Last year. in
spite of the great Roosevelt tidal wave they
Won notable local victory. Republican cleo
tors were chosen in Massachusetts by plurality
Of 92076 but William L. Douglas, the Demo
cratic candidate, was elected Governor by plu-
raiity OF 35.9S9. Mr. Douglass triumph was
i.si!ei with enthusiasm, both in and out of tha
state. by Democrats who could find little other
consolation in the election returns. His success
vas argued due 10 his aggressiveness
a5iR independence to his freedom from narrow
,s' ir and % Il general confidence IN his
integrity and public spirit 1t can be justly said
tIIat Mr.. Douglas. as Governor has done his bes
l. I've up 10 public expectations. He has given
tie State, so far he has had the power tC
do so, an economical, sensible and uDsensationa
administration. He has not been partisan
ana In his appointments has shown creditable
independence OF the Democratic machine. He
deserved denomination at the hands of his
party and would doubtless have been glad t.
seek an Endorsement al the polls this fall.
But the very qualities which made him formi
dable as q candidate and efficient q Governor
have won him the hostility Of the Democratic
managers. He has been attacked by dfsgruntlet
Office seekers and patronage dispensers, and
rather than fght for a denomination whicl

wanted instead of spending money for consuuc-
ton which has now to be torn outT Whatever
NAV have been the faults Of Mr.. Thomas's
plans, the present architects had abundant time
for their correction while the original WORK was
In its initial stages.
The city is paying out thousands or doiiars
each year in rent for departments "hlch should

exnense TO the city. for the cost of the work

sumably mean a considerable addition to the
comnensafion of the architects The expendl-
ture of money, however, can be better endured
than the delay which causes great inconven-
ience by withholding from use month after
month structure on which millions OF dollars
have been expended.

HALL or RECORDS WASTE.

Far be 1t from to say that the new Han
Of Records does not need S5OOOOO worth of re-
nairs before II is even completed. 1t may be
that the architects have gone along blindly
and bullheadedly putting up partitions, Install
ing plumbing and strlngng electric light wires
with utter disregard of the necessities or con-
yenience Of the departments which are to use
the new rooms. Possibly the present Board OF
Estimate and Apportionment can point back to
a previous administration as the author Of bad
plans which It has been following. But neither
the inadequacy Of previous plans nor the re-
sponsblity of somebody else for them is any
excuse for this belated scheme of alterations In
volving a large amount of reconstruction and
a DELAY Of from eight months to year in get
ting the building ready for occupancy.
Mayor Mcclellan and his associates have
been in Office nearly two years. Horgan &
slattery have had charge Of this building al
most from its beginning. The original archi-
tect, Mr. Thomas, who made the plans In the
Strong administration, died, and early in the
term of Mayor Van Wyck the commission was
turned over to Horgen & Slattery while little
Of the work of construction had been done
They altered the plans in many particulars, OH
the plea that they were suitng the building to
the needs Of those who were TO be housed In
it. All through the Low administration they
supervised the work under contract which
Mayor Low unable TO break Why has IL
taken them something like seven years to IND
out how the offices should be arransedf Why
has 1t taken the present authorities nearly two
years until the building is practically COM
pleted. to discover the needs OF the depart
ments? No sane private builder and his archi-
tect would walt till building was finished
before consulting those who were to occupy 1t
The heads of departments could have told how
their rooms should be arranged two years ago
es well as now why did not Horgan & Slat-
terry. who have been responsible for the building
all this time, look ahead and know what was

4 NEW NEN-YORKER.


All roads never did lead to Rome. and all men
who grow great in the other secuohS VI mo
country do not come to New-York TO employ
their talents and enjoy their fane. Ne'eI'he
loss New-York is well accustomed TO welcoming
prominent citizens Of other cities ana etaleS anu
making them feel at home In the metropolis.
Outsiders sometimes are disagfeeapIe ehoush
to say that New York is made up OF lnnIsrahls'
and that it's greatness is largely due TO tue cOh-
slant infusion of new blood Ihere is soiho
truth in this, but that steady stream OIL new en-
ergy tends here only because here 1t mas the
largest opportunity and because here 1t is most
quickly mingled with the general stream OF pusa-
ness and social life.
Secretary Morton, who is TO take up DIS resi-
dence in the metropolis on retiring from the
Cabinet in July will find no barriers to 1mmedl-
ate recognition among leading New-IorKers.
In a peculiar sense he will be public funcuon-
ary, for nothing concerns us more deeply than
the MANAGEMENT of the great local trans
portation systems one Of which, now III
embryo he is to help establish. He may, In
deed. feel that he is taken into the bosom or
the family little TOO completely, for he 1s
likely TO find his fellow townsmen exercising lid
erally the privilege of frank faultfnding with
everytbinp he does as railroad manager. Stli
tbey will greet him with high hopes and de-
termination to give him fair chance to apply
to their transportation problems his proved tai
ents as an enlightened and energetic executive
We hope that he will here find every pleasant
expectation gratided and that we shall see his
new undertaking crowned with the success
which means satisfaction to himself and the
rest of his fellow Newly Yorkers.

RUssIA's VIEW OF RUSSIA's WOE.

Some of the sanest and soundest comments
on Russia's unparalleled disasters appear In
the Russian press The Russ" declares that
Togo's and Oyama's victories should free Rus
sia from 1.-The slavery of the bureaucracy" The
"SloYo" says that the Japanese are not hgnt-
ing the Russian people, but the Russian ou-
.reaucrscy 1t is not the people, but
'sthe government which has suffered defeat
Other popular journals speak to the same ell
feet, neutrality-suspicious. peace Is made or not
the immediate reform of the Russian govern
1nent and the esta blishment of a popular Con-
gress. Most epigrammatic of all, the "Listok'
sums up the case in the pregnant words:
1.-The war has taught the lesson that educa-
"tion good government and freedom are al
ways victorious over ignorance. misrule and
"despotsm."
For q little time the forces which have led
Russia into her present hapless plight may
continue to bear sway Faith in righteousness
and in the destiny of the human race forDids
us to believe that they can always do so. AS
our Secretary Of State wrote long ago:
The people will come to their own at last.
God Is not Knocked forever!
What we are most interested fn- therefore, ID
the view which the true exponents or the hus-
sian people take Of the situation. That view,
as set forth in the sentences we have quoted,
there is ground for faith in people that cher
ishes such opinions.
The lesson is as old itself. It was
taught when the Greeks overthrow the Per
slams. when the clean living Goths conquered
decadent Rome when Gustavus and his Swedes
vanuuished the imperial armies, when Drake
scourged the Armada, when Moltks prtcked the
overblown bubble Of the Second Empire. Rus
sia has been slow to learn It. but her people,
and we must believe, her rulers. are learning
# at last and those who learn lessons must in
time triumph over those who will not or who
cannot learn. The bureaucracy may conceiva-
bly plan for building another navy to serve
as targets for Togo's guns and for sending
more armies for Nogi and Kuroki to NOW down.
The true voice of Russia demands that the fut-
ure campaign be fought rather with "educa-
ton, good government and freedom" That de-
mand, sounded clearly and bravely amid the
lamentations and the tumult Of disaster, is au-
spicious Of Russias redemption, and that 1t
may speedily prevail must be the desire of
Russia's truest friends.
