AN EXPERIMENT IN ggLRHELP.

Little notice has been taken Of an ordinance
adopted the other day In Philadelphia appro-
priating from the city treasury $4,000 for the
Improvement Of the Delaware River channel
Yet the precedent set by that action is a notable
one upsetting as it does a tradition which has
cost the national government tens of millions
OF dollars through lavish and wasteful river and
harbor appropriations. This precedent, long
honored in the halls Of Congress, required each
Legislator to hunt out the possibly navigable
streams and possibly available harbors In his
political bailiwick. and then present some monu-
mental scheme for their development River
and harbor bills were framed In accordance
with 'log-rolling" rules, and In order TO smooth
the way for projects OF obvious merit many a
lonely bayou and roaring mountain creek had to
be dredged TO carry the imaginary tonnage of
an imaginary commerce. For years the river
and harbor measure was a legislative grab
nag' out Of which the average lawmaker was
always striving TO draw some special prize for
his hungering and thirsting constituency.
It is needless TO say that under this system
large proportion OF the money expended on
rivers and harbors was absolutely misspent
No rational plan OF Improvement could be fol-
Io,,ad and real needs could with difficulty be
distinguished from fictitious ones. Recently,
under the sensible and practical leadership Of
Representative Burton. the chairman Of the
House Committee On Rivers ana Harbors, a
change Of policy has been partly accomplished.
Mr.. Burton has tried to discourage 'log-rolling"
and TO Impress on his associates the Idea that
no appropriation for river or harDor improve

general benefit and had not behind II, N ADJ

feeling of communities which ask for govern

that federal appropriations be made TO some
extent conditional on local cooperation. II a
state or city is sincerely bent on seeing great

4 TRIANGULAR CONTEST.

1t is creditable to Mr.. Hearst that he has con-
sented at the request Of his followers to become
candidate for Mayor and put to a square test
the popular strength Of the principles which lie
has so vigorously advocated. The radical move
ment in the Democratic party here is largely the
creation of his newspaper. How widely the
ideas which he has promulgated are held ana
how deep they have sunk nobody can estmate
with any degree Of certainty. Apparently ne
has a large following and it is good thing to
have that following counted. 1t will give stu
dents an idea of the drift Of public sentiment
on real questions Of interest Too frequently
elections turn on points which reveal noLnlns
of the peoples thought, but however much any
body may dislike Mr.. Hearsts principles anu
his methods, 1t is impossible truthfully to deny
that the issue which he has raised appeals ID
primary human passions, and the attitude OF
our people toward It is worth knowing.
A ticket containing the names of Mr.. Hearst
Mr. Ford and Mr. Stokes will make powerful
appeal TO q large number Of voters who ordi-
narily support the Tammany ticket. These
nominations undoubtedly strengthen the chances
of Tammany defeat If the Republicans now
nut I'D candidates of high character IN whom
all citizens have confidence they may hope, by
q vigorous campaign, to come out the winners
in a triangular contest Their prospects are
Improved greatly by the glaringly unfit nomlna-
tons for the minor places on the Tammany
ticket and the growing revolt against the notori-
GUS Ridgway among decent Brooklyn Demo
Gratis The Republican managers have under
these circumstances great responsibility &C
companied by great opportunity. In spite Of
their acknowledged difficulty in making ticket,
continuation of the efforts to respond to the
best sentiment of the community may yet bring
the anti-Tammany movement TO success, This
work of rallying the forces of good government
Is an undertaking worthy of the energy Of any
citizen, no matter how eminent, who is not
like Mr. Hughes in his own honest Judgment
estopped by other public duties

TIE CHINESE CLAIMS,

Retaliation against the United States by
means Of a boycott having failed, China is re-
ported to have adopted the policy of making
diplomatic and legal claims Of pecuniary indem-
nifty for the exclusion or deportation Of immi-
grants by the United States authorities. The
theory is that since the lapsing Of the treaty of
1894, last year. the old BurIingame treaty of
1868, which does not provide for any restriction
of immigration. is alone in force; wherefore
every deported or excluded Chinaman is en-
titled to indemnity from the United States for
the financial loss or personal suffering thus in
ficted upon him, and If the United States gov
eminent will not pay such indemnity upon de-
mand at it's State Department appeal will he
made to the internationa tribunal at The
Hague.
That the treaty of 1894 is no longer In force
may be conceded; and also that the treaty of
1868 is still in force, excepting as modified by
subsequent conventions. The logic of the
Chinese contention concerning the treaty of 1880
Is, however, not entirely clear nor convincing.
We are told that according to the Chinese view
that treaty was voided by the adoption of the
exclusion act of 1888. The treaty of 1880 as
suredly contains no provision for its abrogatioD
in any such manner. On the contrary it pro
vides for the enactment of legislation reguIat-
ing, limiting or suspendng Chinese immigration
into this country. Moreover If the treaty of
1880 was automatically abrogated by the Con-
gressional legislation of 1888, how was 1t that
six years afterward, in 1894, the Chinese gov
eminent in the Gresham Yang Yu treaty of that
year, referred TO the treaty OF 1880 as though
# were still operative?
Controversy over such details apart however
the fact remains that Judgment was passed ex-
plicitIy upon the matter by the Supreme Court
of the United States in 1893, to this effect That
every nation has a natural and inherent right,
by virtue of its own independent sovereignty, to
exclude or TO expel aliens the power of doing so
being not a judicial but a political power; and
that the act providing for the exclusion of
Chinese aborers was constitutional and valid,
and was not nulifed by any former treaty slip
ulatOns. For it could not be maintained that
any treaty had given To Chinese 1mmigranta any

MIXED POLITICS IN NEW-JBRsEY.

This seems to be bad year for political ma
chimes in New-Jersey. Nj. Everett Colby started
the trouble by throwing down the gauntlet to
Major Carl Lent, whom he subsequently routed
at the primaries. The major is now apparently
working earnestly to help elect Mr.. Colby as
State Senator-in fact, he is willing to do more
than the candidate is DESTROYS of having him do.
So much for Essex County.
Over In Hudson County the situation is much
thicker The county leader there Is Colonel
Samuel D. Dickinson. Many months ago Colo
mel Dickinson announced that Mark NJ. Pagan
wouldn't be renominateI for Mayor of Jersey
City. The Mayor and his friends were too
strong for the colonel however and the latter
seemingly acquiesced In the Mayors victory at
the primaries. On the surface the outlook was
for peace and harmony, but persons familiar
with the actual conditions knew that an explo
sion wasn't far off It came right after the
county convention, which Colonel Dickinson
dominated. The colonel insisted on renominat-
ing Assemblyman Scott, who opposed in the leg
islature the municipal bills prepared by the
Pagan administration. Since then the Mayor
and the colonel have been saying, In print, all
kinds OF hard things about each other, and
bitter war IS on. Even with things in that con-
dition it looked as If Mayor Pagan might safely
count on reelection. But new feature has en-
tered into the fight. The State Of New-Jersey
mas bought a number OF voting machines, and
it is the privilege Of the Secretary of State to
designate the election precincts in which they
shall be used. 1t so happens that Colonel Dick
inson is Secretary Of State, and he has sent ma
chimes to those districts of Jersey City in which
Mayor Pagan previously received the largest
number of Democratic credits. Without those
Democratic votes Mr.. Pagan couldn't be elected
and his enemies believe that the machines will
rob him Of them by practically forcing Demo
Gratis to vote straight ticket The Pagan peo-
pie are not, however, utterly hopeless They in
tend to open schools of instruction for the Dur
pose Of demonstrating how to vote split tickets
on the machines, and they are looking forward
to victory on Election Day.
