MR. MITCHEL AND THE MAYOR.

While we think that Mr.. Mitchell has
good reason to feel aggrieved at Mayor
Gaynor's correspondence regarding the
police. we hope that be will accept the
olive branch which the Mayor held out
to him at Yesterdays meeting of the
Board of Estimate and AppOrtionment.
Mr.. Mitchell did his duty as acting Mayor
and showed great delicacy and cOnslderd-
ton while filling the chief magistracy OF
the city temporarily. Public opinion sus-
tains him fully in what he did regarding
the police situation, and the public is OF
the same mind that he is as to Police
Commissioner Bakers fitness for the Of
fee he holds He should he content with
the consciousness of this. He is no
longer acting Mayor. and he has no
longer any responsibility for the failure
of the police. He may better endure the
SlurS which are uniuStly aimed at him
than to endanger the harmonious rela-
tions among the various important
members of the city administration
which are necessary to good government.
If he handles the present emergency
tactfully and automatically. public re
spect for him will be increased, and pub
lie respect for him will not be diminished
by any job the police put up on him,
no matter by whom aided and abetted-
As for the Mayor. if he does as much
quietly and unOstentatiously" to teach
the police that they have a master some
where and TO compel the enforcement of
the laws as Acting Mayor Mitchell
showed that he could dc if his hands
were free. public confidence in the pres
cnt administrations police policy will be
greatly strengthened What the city IS
waiting impatiently for is some evidence
that the Mayor has really taken hold OF
the police situation and is going to make
n success of that part of his administra-
ton

THE RAISING OF THE MAINE.

The Presidents approval of the plans
for RAISING, tba wreck of the Maine ana
its removal from Havana Harool oo"o'
less means the expeditions achieVehei'
of that much too long neglected Worh,
This approval is, of course, merely VI
the specific plan which has Deen loiiiu
lated for the task To the general plopo-
sition that the work should be done Ill
some way the President long ago coul-
mitted himself in the strongest mannei l.
Indeed, it is to his brave ana patrlo.ic
urging that the nation is largely III
debted for the prospect OF speeuy 1t
moval of what has already been re
nroach and what would, if not removed,
become a disgrace.
The President rightly considers IL 10
be the supreme object of the UNDERTAKE
ing to dispel. so far as possible, all uncer-
tainty concerning the nature and cause
Of the explosion which destroyed the
ship That, as we have frequently
pointed out. is a matter in which the
honor of the American nation is directly
involved. The second object, only HI
tie less important, is decent disposition
of the remains of the American sailors
who persisted with the ship. Inc tnlru
and final object is that of Kidding Ha-
yana HarbGr of a serious obstacle 10
navigation. The plan proposed and now
adopted appears to be well suited 10
the fulfilment of these aims. BY expos
ing the wreck substantially intact and
carefully examining it, with the free
participation of official Spanish and
Cuban agents, the truth concerning the
great disaster will be established, we
NAV hope, to the satisfaction of all By
the same processes whatever remains OF
the sailors bodies will be preserved from
further mutilation and will be rescued
for fitting sculpture Also, Of course, the
haTbor will be freeC from all consider
able fragments of the wreck.
The suggestion that after the wreck
has been raised and thoroughly examined
il shall he taken out to sea and sunk
in deep water is interesting and worthy
of the careful consideration which we
assume it will receive from Congress
Such a course would certainly be far
more decent than the conversion OF the
wreck into a show for irreverent mobs TO
gape at. 1t would also have certain
heroic dignity. accordant With the spirit
of Holiness appeal for "Old Ironsides,
that her shattered hulk should sink be-
meath the wave" 1t might even be re-
garded as sentimentally typical of the
sinking into oblivion of the passions
which we're evoked by the wrecklng OIL
the Maine and which thereafter too
widely prevailed in both America ana
Spain. The chief argument against IL
would probably be that thus a large
amount of metal would be wasted which
might be reworked and used again for
another ship That would be the view
of extreme utilitarians, but it may be
worthy of consideration.

THAT REMARK IN ATLANTA
Correspondent Thinks Mr.. Roosevelt
Has Neither Eye on Presidency.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: This mornings issue of The Tribune
contains in addition to very interesting
and gratifying account of the Hon. Theo-
dore Roosevelt's reception at Hot Springs,
Ark. a short article, dated Atlanta. OCTOBER
10 In it Mr. Roosevelt is quoted as saying;
by George. II I thought l could carry
single Southern state I would willingly run
for the Presidency"
To those who. standing apart from all
participation in political issues, have fol-
lowed and studied Mr. Poosevelt's wonder
fully potent career il may be given TO
Judge dispassionately of the recurring re-
ports which tend to give his political oppo-
nents and personal non-admirers Opportu-
nifty to misjudge and misunderstood him.
The ex-President never bends to refute
personal obloquy. His consciousness of
honora BILE motives; his superior grade of
honesty and unimpeachable sincerity or
character: the vigor with which his youth,
middle age and, presently, declining years
are surcharged with devotion to the best
interests of his country. his state, and to
those of his fellow men. In every respect.
are but the opponents Of the man.
If Mr.. Roosevelt spoke the words above
quoted they were spoken as expressing his
Joy at the Frightening political prospect in
the Southern States, but not. I am sure. in
the sense of a eliminating admission that
he would accept nomination as the Repub-
lican candidate for the Presidency of the
United States. These words will, however.
bring forth such CALCULATIONS innunerable
as II told you so,'' THAT IS what all this
proprietorship and persistent egoism and
egotism means" That is what he has
been working for all the time etc.
This is the thought in many minds. even
in some few of his quasi admirers, but it
is calumny No additional honor can come
to Mr.. Roosevelt by election TO occupy
again the Chief Executives chair. He has
no higher honors to which to attain Mr.
Roosevelt knows this better than any other
man.
His work goes on with the increasing in
1uence of those lofty principles to which,
as man, Christian. citizen and President,
his whole great soul has unf1inchingly de-
voted itself That work is greater to-day.
and will be from to-day onward. with his
unique power among his fellow men at
home and abroad. than would be probable
by his reoccupancy of the Presidency.
There are other men who are worthy of
and eminently equipped for election to the
Presidency of the United States There is
only one Hon. Theodore Roosevelt to con-
tinue his good work among men in many,
many ways. NJ. {. NJ

NEW YORK ~ CONGRESS-.

What Tammany control means to this
city is demonstrated afresh III the NOM
nations for Congress dictated by Muir
phy. His only conception of the use of
a seat in the House of Representatives
is so to dispose of it as to satisfy some
claim on the Tammany organization.
He does not want to send to Washing
ton men who might become conspicuous
there by defending or promoting the
city's interests. for such men might
eventually lie able to make themselves
independently strong in their own con-
stituencies Re prefers to keep the
Tammany delegation at Washington OBJ
scure and dependent executing his or
ders and plant to his wishes.
He gives seats in the lower house of
Congress TO Representatives of the cali
bre Of Daniel J. RiOrdan, Henry NJ.
GCldfogle. Michael F. COnroy. Charles
Y. Fornes and Francis r Harrison, and
expects New York TO be grateful to him
for putting them on guard in body
whose activities directly affect the city's
welfare in hundreds Of ways. His
agents are for the most part mere spec
tators ~ the Capitol As big Tim
Sullivan once graphically described the
situation. the average Tammanyite in
Congress is of about as much impor-
lance as "a horse tied to a post He
eats out OF the salary bag and that Is
about all he is expected to do, yet there
are otherwise intelligent people who be-
lieve that Murphy should be encouraged

the posts along Pennsylvania avenue,
but to erect more posts Of the same kind
up and down State street, in Albany. In
the philosophy of Tammany there is al
WAYS room somewhere for another hitch
ing post.
1t is to the great credit of the Re
publican party in this county that it has
been sending to Washington from the
three Republican districts here men of
a totally different type. Representatives
Parsons. Bennett and Olcott have been
active members Of the House and have
10 their account substantial legislative
accomplishments. They have worked
zeaIouslv for local interests and com
mare favorably in standing with the
REPRESENTATIVES Of any other OF the
larger cities. Messrs. Parsons and Ben
net are candidates for reelection and
William VI. Bennett has been chosen to
replace Mr.. OIcott. They all deserve the
eunnort of New Workers who want to
see the city acquire a proper influence
in tbe House-something it has seldom
had hecause of the weak and colorless
character OF the Tammany majority in
the delegation. II is important that the
nresent standard of representation from
the Republican districts should be main
tanned We therefore appeal TO the vot-
ers If the 18th and 18th districts TO roll
nm decisive majorities for Mr.. Parsons
