BRYAN AND TAHM4YT.

II Is evident that. whs teyer may be the status
of personal government in Germany, personal
government in the Democratic party is not IN
the least damaged by the recent collision with
poprlar opinion. The voice that calls Tam
many 10 account SO sharply and bitterly is the
voice of the moral autocrat who is always
heard between campaigns. There is in il the
same inrOlerant assertion of personal authority
as when il read Roger sullivan and Colonel
lin" Guffey out of the party. The usurper
is not laying down any of his powers because
OF what has happened. but is going to use them
more vigorously than ever. ''TeOrganizing as

Yet the challenge TO Tammany is so bold and
so appare rently earnest as to arouse admiration.
If Tanmany did its best for the ticket-and Of
this Mr. Bryan evidently has his doubts--lts

.GITING TO CITIES.

The hope is pretty generally expressed that
some rich man or group Of rich men may be
induced by public spirit TO buy Madison square
Garden and give it to the city That is the
only certain and clear solution Of how to get
something for nothing. But the Garden is NOT
the only opportunity for The rich and public
spirited lover of New York; indeed. the city
offers 10 such one an embarrassment Of ave
nues of expenditure Mr.. Fulton Cutting for
example writes 10 the press 70 urge that in the
excitement over the Garden the claims of sea-
side park he not forgotten There. in bis opin-
ion. is another necessity of the city at least as
great as the need of big meeting hall. and one
on which the public spirited citizen with the
disposition TO make gift TO New York might
better spend his money. And who shall say HIN
nay?
Nor is seaside park all. For years the city
has needed a new courthouse. one adequate to
the business OF the courts and in appearance
worthy Of New York What would appeal more
10 man Of great wealth and public spirit one
of the sort who have endowed universities and
founded libraries than the opportunity of build
ing great palace of justice in this metropolis?
Nor is this by any means all. To turn 10 very
practical subject Of immediate and pressing 11-
portance there is Central Park. starving for
new soil and in danger Of slowly dying ont
Here is one Of the worthiest objects of public
benevolence and as i'll suited 10 delay is the
preservation of the Garden. II must appeal
equally 10 public spirited wealth.
These are mere examples Of what wealth
might do. New York is 4 worthy object of chHr
'ity various enough in IT'S aspects TO suit every
caprice of henevolence- We often wonder why
it has never become more Of a fashion 10 give
10 cities. TO lavish on the beautifving of the
place where a fortune is made some Of that
fortune Perhaps il iE due 10 the way cities are
misgoverned and wastefully administered those
who have gained wealth in business having q
contempt for the lack OF business skill with
which municipalities are managed. Perhaps
with cities with men. the Eord helps those
who help themselves. New York. for example
has expended more than q billion and quart er

OF this. or more than S3O0000O00 went 10 waste
IF It had not been wasted the city could meet
