Within nirety Mayor Strong will be the most unpopular republican that the s as ever had. We will fight him until th he fs in office.” The folly of this man and his fellow spoilsmen is not wholly apparent in their agreement to make things as warm as possible for the mayor who refuses to be dictated to by the republican machine; much more of foolish- ness is to be found in the idea that the overthrow of Tammany and Hillism in New York was a republican victory. Every even-minded student ‘of American politics knows that while the republican party in New York was to a considerable extent the beneficiary by the November elections, it was so not because the majority of the voters, in New York city at least, were re- publicans, but because the candidates of the republican party in the state and the candidates indorsed by the republicans in t y received the suport of many thou- sands of democrats who were bent on re- bellion on grounds of decency and honesty and who would lend neither aid nor gym- pathy to the ring which for so many years had profitably conspired against all that was good in state and municipal govern- ment. Mayor Strong has offended because he has selected as official associates and subordinates men who had not the indorse- ment of the republican machine, and in doing so he gives pleasure to the cleanly thorsands who cast their ballots for him ecause they believed he would do pre- cisely what he has done. It would seem to be to the interest of the republican party, as a national organization, to hold to the anti-Tammany and consequently anti-dem- ocratie combine in New York city as many as possible of the independents, business men, and democrats who caused the over- throw of the democratic organization in November, and who may pessibly do the same thing in the next presidential elec- tion. If, however, there is merely the sub- stitutior of republican machine politics for democratic machine politics in the muntci- pal government of New York the inde- pendents will be found in the next presi- -dent nd municipal elections fighting as viverously for reform against the republi- can machine as in November they opposed Tammany and democracy. +o. —____ te stic rumor-makers in the an Islands, none had in it more of thar the stery which the San Cali prints as to the torturing of by officials ef the Island republic. first place, none of the happenings t to hi taken place could possibly have occurred without being generally known throughout the length and breadth of HMonol:iu almost immediately; in the second place, it would not be possible to frame any excuse for physically torment- inz nny of those who participated in the Tebellion, for from the time when it was evident that all hope of successful re- bellion had departed there have been more willing witnesses than the authorities had time to hear, in the third place, the men who are in control of governmental af- fairs in the Is is are not savages, but are as highly civilized in every respect as any Americans. It is noteworthy that the “tortured rebel” rication appeared orig- inally only in the San Francisco Call. The Call is controlled by those members of the Spreckles family who were implicated in the rebellion, and who undoubtedly fur- nished the royalist party with the money that was essential for the outbreak that failed. ———__ + «= —___ Washington has a very hearty welcome for the National Council of Women—an organization which is fully entitled to and undoubtedly has the sympathy of every American, without regard to sex, who is actively interested in bettering the condi- tions that to a greater or less degree ob- struct the forward movement of our civil- ization. Washington is always pleased to be polite to all the organizations that pre- fer the national capital to all other cities as a place of meeting, but it is especially delighted to have within its borders so many cultured women whose aims are high and whose efforts are toward prac- tical work. This country at this time has its share of theoretical philanthropists— who are undoubtedly of value—but it is also exceedingly rich in those who have all the capacity necessary to apply much- needed remedies, and it is members of this elass that are in convention assembled in this city. Much information as to the ob- jects of the council and those who will participate in its sessions has already been printed in The Star; ample reports of the proceedings will appear from day to day, and they will repay perusal. +02 — There were sixty-three men employed on the new city post-office building teday. It would be possible to hide sixty-three men on the skeleton of the structure. Some of these days this number will be quadrupled or more and then it will seem probable that the building may be completed before the present century comes to an end. Two years, eleven months and twenty-six days have go ince work on the building was commenced, but the third story frame- work is still unfinished and at the present rate quite { progress is likely awhil to remain so for -_—_—_ The advance of se gain in some mean a great departments of human com- fort, but there is a dark lining to the cloud after all. The progress of electricity has taken much of the romance cut of life, and now comes word, at last, that even the fer of the blacksmith is to be sac rit on the altar of the opposing pole In song and stery the blacksmith has been prai embodiment of strength and good There may n occasional have f bad bi ths, even wicked ng and story have never said about them. The whole family of always borne a most ex- re in song an Sues They have posed as the village o village poets, villa village actors. If peopie were in trouble they inevitably found their way, accidentally, ef course, to the dingy shop of the village blacksmith, and th by the flashing light of his forge, key ive by the ceaseless motion ef his brawny arm, wh knots and muscles showed in the coming and going of the blaze, they told their tales of sad- ness and sorrow, and received his aid and comfort and advice. Prodigal sons return- ing home after interviews with the tiger in town went straight to the blacksmith shop. Erring daughters made a confidant of the sm Would-be burglars whispered their plans just behind his right ear, so that he al arrived on the scene, armed with his mighty sledge, just in the nick of time to prevent the consummation of their designs. The smith was an honored and a useful institution, but now he is to be stricken from his high place in society— and song and story—by the ruthless hand of science. It is sad to learn that it is a Soston man, too, who has made the device that is to strip the blacksmith of all his ‘| useful functions as the balance-wheel of the community. He has invented a scheme for heating iron and other metals by im- mersion in water. An electric current is turned on, and in some way or other—the stricken heart, bleeding for the blacksmith, cares not for details—the job is done. No forge, no anvil, no mighty sledge, no dusty bellows to pump, no brawny arm, no nice soot to sit in while the tale is told. Noth- ing! Why, then, a blacksmith? Why con- tinue the institution? The day has appar- ently come for the parting of the ways. Society and the blacksmith must be di- voreed. The broken-hearted imaiden could never muster up courage to tell her story while the smith fusses around with his ill- smelling chemicals; the prodigal would grow thirsty while his old friend watches the galvanometer; even the village liar would lose confidence as the artisan washes his hands in perfumed soap to start the next job. The smal! boys would find their occupation of bellows-ripping gone, and wouid stand, lonely and desolate, about the glazed door of the laboratory, wondering if there was ever more to be any good in anything. Farewell to the blacksmith! ——- ree It is understood that the House Commii- tee on Rules has premised the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds an oppor- tunity to bring before the House a legisla- tive proposition which may result in au- thority for the erection of a new Govern- ment Printing Office building. There is in this announcement foundation for a hope that has been long deferred. Of course, there is possibility of refusal by the House to agree with the Senate as to the site— for the House is decidedly, and reasonably, averse to purchasing the Mahone property —but the thousands who are deeply inter- ested in the safety and health of the men and women who hourly run great risk Ly remaining in the present structure are in- clined to the belief that harmonious con- clusion may be reached before this session of Congress comes to an end. To the gen- eral public, as to the House, the Mahone site does not appear to be the best avail- able—as a matter of fact, it is not as good as many others that have been offered— but the general public has no part in the quarrel as to location; its only demand is for a properly constructed building in place of the health-wrecking shell that threatens to collapse at any moment. ——___ + es The selection of Li Hung Chang as peace envoy to Japan is a great compliment.
