The Fixed" Police Post.

When Herinan Rosenthal, the gambler
who was about to complete his disclo-
sures Of police completely, was shot down
In the street just off Broadway the other
night it was discovered that several po
licemen were on fixed post" within a
short distance one Of them few yards
away from the scene. Since suspicion
has been aroused that the police were
aware Of If not actually parties to the
assassination plot, attention has been
called to the fact that the placing Of
patrolmen on flxed stations facilitates
rather than prevents crime in such cir
cumstances. The policeman Is not sup
posed to leave his post merely on sus-
picion that something is wrong unless
the suspicion amounts to a conviction.
When pistol shots were heard and men
were seen to cross the street and get into
a motor car that was sent of at high
speed a policeman whose hxed post was

killing occurred ran forward, but not

whatever in throwing light upon the
crime. 1t is now being pointedly asserted
that the fixed post plan Of police patrol
ling is just the sort Of system that would
be adopted II it were desired by police
officials to limit the crime detecting and
preventing activities Of the force. In
short, with this murder In sight as an
object lesson, New York critics of the

Mr.. Wilson, and that conference should

through the mill Mr.. Wilson has just
entered. How to look cheerful though
depressed is something a candidate
should thoroughly understand. Mr.. Bryan
knows how Three times as a presidential
candidate he has approached election day
with an outward air OF triumph. but an
inward feeling of doubt. His July ma
iortties failed to reach the polls in No
vember.
These are rosy days for Mr.. Wilson.
His callers are confident. and all desire to
make him SO. Each has done the sum-

Still, cold fits will follow hot fits. Even
an inexperienced candidate surrounded
by enthusiastic followers cannot for
stretch Of four months keep free OF
anxiety. Doubt will find him and disturb
him.
But he must not make a sign OF MS
disturbance. He must keep that to him-

Peace Again in Cuba.
rom the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
With 'the defeat and killing of Gen.
Ivonet partner Of Estenoz, also dead, in
the revolt Of a portion Of the colored
population OF Cuba against the Gomez
government at Havana, the revolutionary
movement which for time made immi-
nent a third Intervention by our govern
ment in the affairs Of the island repub-
lie collapses. The Morua law, which for
bids the organization OF a political party
along purely racial lines, remains on the
statute books Of the Havana government
and the fact Is once again established
that any attempt to overthrow stable
order in Cuba cannot succeed. The re-
suit is another vindication Of the policy
Of the United States in insisting, through
the Platt amendment to the Cuban con-
stitution, that we would guarantee good
government in Cuba. Had 1t not been
for that insistence. and the acquiescence
Of the Cubans in what amounts to vir-
tual protectorate by us over their desti-
nies, this latest revolt might we'll have
resulted in making Of Cuba another
Haiti, at least to the extent Of putting
in peril the right OF the Cuban people
as whole to select their own govern
ment.

Mack and McCombs.

Al conference held between them
yesterday. former Manager Mack turned
over to Manager McCombs the records
of the democratic national committee
How important they are is not stated.
What they contain OF value in the way
Of suggestions for conducting the present
campaign is matter for conjecture.
That they relate to a campaign that fail
ed Is to be noted.
But more important maybe than these
records must have been the points Mr..
Mack gave his successor about campaign
ing in general Mr. Mack is a veteran
politician. and has seen much and varied
service. Mr.. McCombs is new to the
trade--a promising man. but necessarily
with much to learn. His work before
and at Baltimore showed ability, but
what he now has in hand will draw more
heavily on his resources thousand times
than that.
II Is most likely that Mr.. Mack had a

New York.

New York is claimed for Mr. Wilson,
but it is agreed that something-much' n
indeed-depends on the character OF the
democratic state ticket. If that Is Weii
chosen Mr.. Wilson will benefit; II Ill
chosen. he will suffer.
Mr.. Murphy wants to choose It, he
bossed the job that was successful two
years ago. and on the strength OF that
success he wants to boss the present job.
The anti-Tammany democrats say no.
AS gladly as they accept Tammany'
support. when they themselves lead, they
object to Tammany for leader. and this
wear they are emphatic in their opposi-
ton. They insist that Mr.. Murphy must
efface himself for the party's good.
Mr.. Murphy has not indicated his man
for governor, nor have his democratic op-
thing is in the air.
Gov Dix would like a denomination, but
the independents, who helped elect him,
have ceased to be sweet on him. He has
been blacklisted by them as Tammany
tool.
Mayor Gaynor, it Is thought, would like
transfer to Albany. but many of the
Tammanyites have ceased to be sweet on
him. He has not been as subservient IN
office as they had hoped, and felt they
had reason to expect They would be
glad to see him leave the city hall. but
not for the statehouse as rebuke to
Tammany.
Mr. Hearst. who has returned to the
democratic fold, likes neither the governor
nor the mayor. He especially dislikes the
latter. He opposed him for election, and
considers that he has been a failure In
office. Would he support him for gov
ernor? He Is supporting Mr.. Wilson for
President But what would be the effect
of his opposing the democratic state
ticket while supporting the democratic
national ticket.
Will Mr.. Wilson permit himself to be
drawn into the controversy? Tammany
is his reliance SO far as New York is
concerned Should the organization sulk
he will be beaten, and should he take
will be likely. The tiger is intensely hui
man when its "feelin's is hurt"
If Mr.. Wilson sides witn Tammany will
the independents sulk? They are talking
threateningly. They are hailing him as
the hope Of better things in politics-anti-
bossism, anti-corruption, anti-everythipg
for which Tammany in public opinion
stands. And SO they are warning him
against Mr.. Murphy.
Mr.. Wilson is just making the acauaint-
sance of few of the thousand and one
embarrassments that lie in his path. He
will meet them all before election day.

Haegling About the Warships.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
There are rumors of continued oppo-
sition to the construction Of two battle
ships this year among the members Of
the House of Representatives in confer
ence over the Senate's amendment to the
naval bill. 1t is difficult to account for
this foolish obstinacy. The democratic
party Is not opposed to the upbuilding Of
the navy, and the construction OF only
two new ships each year cannot fairly be
called extravagant. Therefore 1t Is diff
cult to see how politics affects this matter.
Probably the whole trouble lies in the de-
mand for concessions" to various neigh
borhoods.

activity against Lorimer. The public has
arrived at the conclusion that the Senate
unseated Lorimer only because 1t yielded
to the pressure Of the national feeling
that he represented political conditions
so odious as to invalidate his election
and call for an emphatic rebuke that

Senate's motives seems correct, and its
