P4ROCHIALTSR REBEKED.

Republican conventions in Massachusetts have
been enlivened for some years past by efforts
TO modify for local profit the general applica-
ton of the protective theory. A school of econ
omists, headed by the Hon. Eugene y. Foss, has
been endeavoring- somewhat modest sue
cess-to fasten on the party some peculiar Back
Bay notions Of national policy. Mr.. Foss, like
Governor Douglas, holds that It is the duty Of
the government at Washington TO open a special
outlet into Canada for Massachusetts products
Regardless of the interests of the other states
on or near the Canadian border and regardless
of the Ottawa governments determination to
go its own way, neither asking for nor accept
ing tariff concessions, the agitators Of the Foss
school have been clamorng for the immediate
ratification Of q reciprocity treaty with Canada
Failure TO negotiate such a treaty they arc
pleased 70 charge not to the opposition Of the
Canadian authorities. officially expressed, but
TO the Indifference and negligence of the Massa-
chrlsetts delegation in Congress aad the national
administration Similarly, because they hold
that Massachusetts industries would be bene-

u e. nIeasant to observe that this policy, so
intensely parochiaI IN character, is gaining little
Ground within the Republican organization. Its
Foremost champion, Mr.. Foss, was a member
of Fridays convention at Boston, and again
presented to the delegates his partcularist
ideas. But he found little support as ever
for his contentious, the convention heartily In
iorsing the broader and saner view OF senator
Lodge that national, not sectional ana local IN
terests should be considered IN framing or re-
vising protective tariff.
There may be some force in the argument
thst Massachusetts is not now deriving SO great
a benefit proportonately from the protective
system as II did ten, twenty or thirty years ago.
Owing TO the early development of the states

RIDGWAY.
GOwan.

The people of Brooklyn have before them
a beautiful example of the reformed Tam
many disposition to give them good govern
ment. In face Of it the smooth assurances of
Mr. McC1ellan's friends that he is an agree
able gentleman who means well and will do
just we'll as Tammany may allow must
seem ike mockery. No Brooklynite old enough
to vote will be under any delusi0n about good
government from any administration in which
James W. RIdgway holds a prominent place.
Ridgway is well known to Brooklyn as one of
the least creditable instruments of ring rule in
the old Chapin-Boody days, who was driven
into retirement after that orgy and kept there
as long as bis party was seeking to rehabilitate
itself by bringing forward newer and more
reputable men, Naturally, he now appears at
the moment when the Tammany- AIcCarren
combination think they have things safely
fixed for another period Of graft"
Ridgway was for many years District Attor-
ney Of Kings County. He was a popular Dis
3rict Attorney-popular with the thugs and
thieves. The racetrack gamblers knew him far
better as boon companion in the betting ring
than public officer bringing their offences
to the attention Of the grand jury. Under his
jurisdiction McKane was allowed TO pursue his
criminal career at COney Island His political
resurrection now by McCarren is defiance Of
all decent public feeling and an impressive tes-
| tmony to the unchangingly evil disposition of
| the Murphy-McCarren machine.
Hugh Mclaughlin used Ridgway, and ap-
| parently liked him, but even in the worst days
of their power he and Shevn were agreed that
Ridgway was mot q fit man for Mayor" ami
refused to yield to his pleas for that off e Nc

Another point to be considered is whether
justice has in all respects been done TO NeheA-
uela \ few years ago there was eXtant some
pretty conclusive evidence that certain EURO
pean banks and financial spectators had grossly
plundered Venezuela and other South America
countries under the guse of making loans 10
them. More recently it has been directly and
positively testified that certain foreign corpora
tons in Venezuela acted as the fiscal agents,
hackers and aids of various insurgent organza-
tons. Those charges may not be true, but they
have been made seriously, under OATH by pre-
sumably responsible men, and they are not TO
be lightly ignored. If Venezuela has thus been
Wronged no greater power well afford to
condOne the wrong and champion the doors of
it. The power that seeks justice must do JUS
tice, to the small and weak as well as to the
great and strong. We do not attempt to pre-
judge the case; certainly not in Venezuelas IA
vor-for, in fact, our opinion of the present
Venezuelan government is not of the highest
kind. But however badly President Castro may
have acted, it is eminently desirable that those
who have dealings with him, even if they have

will be above even the suspicion of reproach.

DEITY AIR.

Dirty water is not the only evil of wanton
or negligent origin of which this city has to
complain. The air is being inexcusabIy dirtied
too This fact has been painfully evident dur
ing the superb weather of the last week or
two. During these days, so characteristic of
NeW-Hor& at this time of the year. the air,
where not artifcialy defiled, has been exqui-
sitely clear and crystalline, the Indian summer
haze not yet having come into It. But in GER
tain parts of this city, on even the brightest
days, it has been murky and half Opaque with
smut smoke issuing from chimneys in impu-
dent defiance of the law.
1t is perfectly easy to discern where the Of
fences occur. Any man with eyes in his head
can do it. As has been the case for years, some
of the most conspicuous nuisances are in the
manufacturing regions Of Brooklyn There are
big chimneys in the Gowanus Canal district
from 1st-st. to Erie Basin, flarlng like volca-
noes. There is another group of offenders,
clearly visible from any elevated point around
the City Hall, between the Brooklyn end of
the bridge and the navy yard. Last week one
of the tallest Of these maintained a volumi-
nous streamer Of dun smoke which could be
traced in the air for half a mile or more. As
a result of these things, the outlook over Brook
lyn from Manhattan is more like that over
Pittsburg or Birmingham than it should be over
borough of New-YOrk
1heSe oHenCeS cannot be explained away on
the ground that they are transitory occurring
only when the furnaces are being fired up"
That is not true. They are being maintained
hour after hour, day after day, year after
year. 1t is impossible to avoid the conclusion
that the proprietors Of the places are DELHI
erately violating the law. and it is difficult to
explain their continued immunity on any other
ground than that they are deliberately being
permitted TO do so by those whose duty it is
to stop them. AS we have pointed out before.
no elaborate Investigations are required Any
man who is not blind can see out of what chin
ney the smut smoke is pouring, and the fact
that it is thus pouring forth is all the evidence
that is required 1t does not matter what
causes the smoke. A man may burn hard coal,
soft coal, wood petroleum or whatever he
wants to, but he must so burn it that it will
not emit foul smoke. That is the requirement
Of the law, and it is one that should be rigidly
enforced

THE SHE'LL GAME.

1t was all very we'll for Mr. Mcclellan to
! stand up before the Tammany convention which
had just nominated him to fill the office Of
Mayor for the four years term beginning Janu-
airy l. 1906 and ending December 81, 1909, say
| ing:
And so. sincerely grateful to you for the honor
you have done me- unpledged to any man or
group Of men. pledged only TO the people to do
my duty TO the best of my ability, accept your
nomination
But does he mean it? Does he intend, in
cepting that nomination, TO perform the duties
of the Office, if elected? Is his pledge to the
people anything more than the light word of Il
gallant who is ready to be off with an old love
and on with a new? The uncOncealed plans Of
every Tammany leader. the talk at every Tam
many meeting the voice of the very convention
which nominated him, discount this promise and
proclaim d settled purpose not to have him go
on TO DO his duty in the discharge of that trust
which he asks the people to devolve upon him
His pledges of independence and his suggestions
about getting rid Of some of the unworthy sub
ordinates whom he has allowed Murphy to
saddle upon him for the last two years signify
nothing, even If we are 10 believe that he can
rise above the forces which have hitherto dom
mated him. if they mean that he Is merely to
be good and make his goodness effective for
the citys protection for a few months, until,
haply, he can make way for the rule Of Oak
ley's Unknown. If Mr.. Mcclellan honestly
means If elected, to fulfil his contract and serve
the people as Mayor for the term of his enlist
ment, that is one thing. If he means to desert
and devolve upon Mr.. MCGOWAN the task Of
mediating between public interest and Tam
many rapacity. that is quite a different thing
and puts before the people quite different
issue. The voters are entitled to something bet
ter than political shell game. Common hon
esty forbids that they should be invited to in
vest IN the virtues Of Mcclellan only to find the
Mayors chair suddenly shuf1ed under Nc
Gowan.

Element of her differences with Venezuela viii
be taken only after consultation with the
United States government, and will be in ac-
cord with the policy of this country That
course was pursued few years ago when Great
Britain and Germany found il necessary to ex-

upon President Castro, with results entirely sat
isfactOry to those powers-at least so far as the
United States was concerned. Relations be-
tween France and America are so friendly and
cordial that this country need have no fear that
France will do anything offensive to it. and
France certainly need have no fear that the
United States will prevent her from pursuing
toward Venezuela such course as may be die
