THE CZAR AND HIS PEOPLE.

The Gar has again appeared as the Little
Father" He has done SO before a select dele
CATION Of his people numbering less than
one-tenth many as those whom his sol
diers have within a few days shot down in
the streets. His address to them is academi-
cally correct. 1t is marked with the exhorta-
tons to patience, the promises of reform and
the condescending pardon characteristic of for
mer imperial utterances. AT the same time is
announced the retirement from the Ministry
Of the Interior of Prince SYiatOpOlk- MiFsky,
the most liberal and progressive Of the Cars
ministers and the who above all others,
has favored the granting of the peoples
questsl
A fortnight ago the Cars reception of his
people, or of their representatives, would have
marked a benefcent epoch in Russian history.
At the present time il comes too late. We do
not know whether the delegation Of thirty-four
which the Gar received yesterday was really
representative or was got up for the purpose
by some agents of the government. We shall
do the Gar the Justice to assume that he re-
garded it as representative, in good faith, and
that he spoke to it sincerely. But even thus
we cannot ignore the fact that his act comes
too late At best he IS yielding TO a fOrcible
outbreak and 20 u threat Of revolution that
which he refused TO a peaceful and loyal
quest lie will be suspected. whether rightly
or wrongly of having yielded to fear, and tur-
bulent spirits throughout the empire will be
encouraged to think that hereafter the best
way to gain their ends will be not to plead for
them Loyalty, but to seek them through sedi-
tious outbreak The authority and dignity Of
the imperial crown impaired. and there is
created an ominous menace to the future peace
Of the empire.
His majesty's declaration that In their first
attempt 10 see him the people were ''led astray
by traitors and enemies" sounds much like
Grand Duke Vladimr's declaration that 'be-
hind this peaceful procession was an anarchist
land socialist plot of which the overwhelming
majority of the workingmen were merely inno-
cent tools" What assurance is there that
these thirty -four favored ones were any more
loyal than those who marched toward the pal
ace to offer homage and petitions? If the
government knew that the vast majority of
that great company was innocent and loyal
why did 1t treat them all as though they were
rebellions: If only few of them were sedi-
tious and criminal in intent why was there
danger, rs the grand duke says. that the inno-
cent and loyal multitude would sack the i'm

MR.. mAD0o'S SUGGESTIONS.

The efforts Of dozen years at police reform
have been practically unavalling. The force is
confessed 10 be to-day almost where it was in
1s93 when the public conscience revOlted at the
disclosures of the Lexow investigation. The
gains for good government in the ether depart
ments Of the municipality have been many and
important; in the Police Department few and
nugatory. Administrations come and go, but
1.-The system" goes ON forever The Jimmy"
Martins, the big BilI' Deverys. the Alexander
WiIliamses, the Mike" Murphys-those glCrles
Of police 0rruptOn-disappear; but If "the
system" is embodied to-day In less picturesque
personalities it still remains.
These dozen years have not been without
efforts at reform. The public optimism has
turned from one idea to another for relief. In
the famous days of Lexow four men We're at
the head Of the department. BY courtesy and
for purposes Of appointment they were called
bipartisan" If they were so, nobody noticed
it in their acts. If the public complained OF
the evils of the Police Department, the retort
was: Both parties are at the head of the de-
-partment. Tammany is not responsible for
the corruption"
The first effort Of reform was to establish
party responsibility. a single headed commits
sion was tho panacea Of police ills. So when
the limits Of New-York were extended, provi-
sion was made for commissioner in place
OF the touf. lDen came the administration Of
Van Wyck, with that wonderful single headed
commission IN the person of mike" Murphy
ably assisted by his first subordinate, big Bill"
Devery. Single headed or bipartisan, ''the sys-
leIn' was there still. Party responsibility did
not effect the cure. Under this system the sin
gle Commissioner was not removable by the
Mayor except on charges. II was thought the
idea of responsibility had not been applied to
its logical end. Not only the party in power
ia the municipality must be responsible but the
head Of the city administration itself So when
the charter was amended the Mayor received
power TO remove the Commissioner of Police
Thus the Mayor was estopped from pleading
hat he was powerless TO mend the ways Of the
Police Department, once his Commissioner was
in Office.
Zach of these changes in regard TO the police
was viewed by the public with considerable
optimism, but we have to-day Mr. McAdoo con
Tossing by his elaborate suggestions for Iegis-
lation that be is pOwerless against 1.-The sys-
tenn" The system" according 10 Mr. McAdoo,
is in the personnel, and without extensive
changes in that body no Commissioner, however
well intentioned or forceful. can give a good
administration. The attention Of public opin-
ion and Of legislation, attracted perhaps by the
consciousness of the old "bipsrtisans." and
of Mike Murphy and his like has been con
New-York tribune., 1905-02-02

centrated too long upon the head of the depart
ment "Look elsewhere" says Mr.. McAdoo,
perhaps a little embarrassed as the focus of
public gaze.
Mr.. MeAdoo's suggestions are interesting, aris-
ing, as they do, from years experience with
'the system" Some are Of unqueshonable utll-
ity. Doubtless all are intended to be tentative,
and in that spirit they are properly submitted
TO the Chamber of Commerce Committee OF
Nine, which is going into the whole subject of
police reform in the broadest manner, and may
be expected 10 reach conclusions of value.
This is no time for the man with the panacea.
We present above testimonial to several pana-
ceaS of police reform. Only patient investiga-
ton and thoughtful consideration will result in
real benefit. How hazy and experimental the
whole subject is appears in the suggestions re-
gardlng the Commissioners term. Many ex-
perts want that official appointed for life, and
thus largely independent Of the Mayor Mr..
McAdoo would have the Commissioner serve
two years and be removable only on charges.
Yet but a few years ago that principle was
rejected for the sake of unifyipg the local ad-
ministration and making the police an integral
part thereof. Responsibility was a blessed
word, but something stronger than blessed
words is needed to overthrow ''the system

Washington. Feb. President Roosevelt TO-
day received a delegation from Cincinnati repre-
senting fifteen Of the ciy's business organlzato"S'
who called TO tell him they indorsed MS atu'uue
railroad rate legislation. Secretary 1aIt u
troduced them. and remained at the White house
while they the President. The substance OF
the addresses was that the business men were
anxious for a square DEAL" but did not desire
any legislation that would cripple the reads.
Senator Culiom. chairman of the Committee on
Foreign Relations. consulted the President tAis
morning about the arbitration treaties I thinS
that there is still hope for ratification this session.
said Mr. Cullom. Some OF the gentlemen are op-
posing them on account OF that old Southern bond
bugbear. but I guess they will come around after
while and vote for them
con and Morgan that there is no danger on that
scorer" Senator Cuilom asked.
"Oh that does not make bit Of difference 70
them" said Mr.. Cullom. "They can't see anything
but the Constitution"
Senator Dietrich, OF Nebraska had a talk with
the President this morning about his Alaskan bill;
Senator Smoot. OF Utah. took up a question relat-
ing to the changing OF the Uintah Indian Reserva-
tion to forest reserve. and Secretary Hitchcock
came to introduce Colonel Dyer. United States

BLOOD WILL TELL.

1t must have made all the fighting McCooks,
living and dead, tinge with pleasure to hear
how a young scion of that intrepid stock con-
Quoted himself the other evening In the presence
of a burglar whom he had surprised IN ms
fathers library. He is only twelve years old
about four years younger than the youngest or
his race who went to war in 1S61-but there
were no terrors for him in a novel and startling
situation. Without hesltating for an instant as
to his right and duty, without even calling for
assistance he ran to the next room for re-
volver, and then advanced unfinchingly upon
the foe who seeing what he was 'up against"
stood not upon the order of his going but went
at once-through the nearest window, with
couple of bullets whistling about his ears.
1t is a cause for regret that young McCook
missed his mark, though not for modification,
for the time was short and the light bad. We
heartily congratulate the general on the fact
that his son has thus early established a valid
moral title to the name he bears

STATEN ISLANDS FUTURE.

Richmond County's opportunities for advance
ment have been sorely neglected for seasons
but now there appears TO be sufficient reason
for the realization of the expectations of her
citizens. Many years ago the bluff and impetu-
Gus Erastus Wiman tried to convince the peo-
pie of New-York that the development of Staten
Island had been sorely neglected. and that there
were tempting occasions for large profits in the
lower region of the Bay; but the drift Of i'm
provements went on IN Manhattan, The Bronx
and on Long Island with much persistence, and
the chances of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company to develop its connections and ter.
minais in Richmond County were not taken
advantage of with energy

TO TAT N0N-KOTERS.

Believing with great and, we hope, an in
creasing number of persons that too much
money is spent in political campaigns. and espe-
caly that the practice of hiring citizens to vote
ought to be stopped, Mr.. Samuel L. Parrish,
chairman and treasurer of the Suffolk County
Republican Committee suggests plan for di-
minishing the evil. He has sent TO members of
his committee, Republican Senators and Assem-
blymen at Albany, Republican members of Con-
gress from this State and others whom he hopes
TO interest a circular letter proposing the impO-
sition of a poll tax of SO on every qualified
voter, TO be remitted in the case of every one
who votes His idea is that for that purpose
certain specified officers should be required to
put on the polling list the names of all voters
in each Assembly district, but he would provide
for the acceptance of reasonable excuses from
citizens who had been kept from the polls
through no fault of their own.
This is not an absolutely novel proposition,
and we are not sure but that bill to the same
effect has been introduced in the legislature
within few years. Objections TO the plan will
readily occur to the recipients of Mr. Parrish's
letter, and have doubtless occurred to him. It
may be held In the first place, that such a tax
lacking uniformity, would be unconstitutional
and even If it were found to be valid 1t might
not prove to be practicable. Obviously the list
of voters could not be made up until after the
registration had been completed and then many
facts, including such changes of residence as
would disqualify those registered, would have
to be taken into account. Perhaps more machin-
cry would be needed, In large cities at least
than Mr. Parrish suppOses, and we fear 1t would
not be hard to make pretty thin excuse serve
the purpose Of delinquent seeking exemption
from the tax. But the object Mr. Parrish has
in view is good one. and there is something
very agreeable in the thought of reversing IA
miliar campaign process by making failures to
vote source of revenue instead of spending
large amount of money in ''persuading" citizens
to go to the polls. At all events the proposal is
deserving Of attention-of more attention. per
haps, than it is likely TO receive.
