There is no logical connection between them. The Ha alian question was made up and submitted long before the other question was thought of. A decision not to hold the Philippines or Porto Rico would not in t degree weaken the strength of the argument in favor of the annexa- tien of Hawail. The most eminent au- thorities in America, statesmen, soldiers and ors, all agree that those islands are essential to the United States, not as a © in a scheme for general territorial expansion, but in the forwarding of the country’s interests as the country’s boun- daries pow stand.

Con- tently the call of “no quorum” has m been heard and has less often been ssful this year, and ag a result the tal of the local legislation has been grat- ingly large. Unfo-tunately, the Senate has not been as complacent, a reversal of the usual experience, through no fault, how of the members or the chairman of the District committee, who have been awkward situations from time to time that have blocked the course of local legislation almost to the complete exclusion of such matter.

New York fs about to enjoy the first sub- stantial fruits of the Tammany victory of last fall. The mayor then elected has heretofore been engaged in organizing his ov accordi to the approved 2 y methods, as affected by the tringent requirements of the He has not had to police matters, ing to a period of greater leisure serious attention required by this im- branch of the eity administration. > force in New York is a vital trol of the election ma- and the party that !n turn con- trols the police organization has an incal- eculable advantage at the polls. Tammany's grip on the police system was broken by the Lexow investigation, which revealed an appalling condition of municipal and moral corruption, and it has been taken for grant- ed that in good season Mayor Van Wyck would undertake to re-establish that firm hold on every branch of the system which characterized the Tiger's administration of the metropolis in years past. The new charter requires that two of the four po- ee commissioners shall be of the party amtagonistic to that in power, these men be- ing nominated to the mayor by the formal- ly recognized organization of the party. This bipartisan feature of the metropolitan | system was in its inception thought to be @s sure a factor for good government as. could be devised, and it was confidently expected that it would operate to prevent.) jection. The House had long witnessed the. the evils of undue party dominance over 80 vital a force in the government of a city as the police. Mayor Van Wyck has now demonstrated the futility of expecting that bi-partisan boards can be expected to ac- complish anything municipally benefictal in New York. He desired to secure absolute control over the police force. Chief Mc- Cullagh, an efficient, honest man, refused to order certain changes among the captains that would restore, in a measure, the con- ditions existing before Lexow got to work. Van Wyck then ordered the police commis- sioners to retire McCullagh to make room for Devery, who was one of the principal offenders in the regime uncovered by the investigation. The democratic commission- ers were complacent, while the republicans refused to acquiesce. Three votes were re- quired. Van Wyck removed both repub- lican commissioners Saturday and imme- diately appointed a professional office-hold- er as one of the republicans, without the recommendation of the republican organ- ization. Hess, the new commissioner, took office for the express purpose of serving the objects of the Tammany mayor, and within an hour of his appointment voted with his democratic colleagues for the retirement of McCullagh and the appointment of Devery. The latter has already ordered the changes among the captains that restore the pre- Lexow conditions and promise a “wide- open” city for every class of law-breaker and offender of decency. But far more im- portant is the prospect that this change places absolutely in the hands of the Tam- many organization the entire police ma- chinery for the control of the elections. This is the natural sequence of discord among the elements that, united, might have defeated the Croker cohorts. It in- sures New York a return to the old cor- Tupt, extravagant, unwholesome form of administration which it suffered for so many years, but it is at the same time to be hoped that by an inevitable reaction it likewise insures an awakening of the ele- ments favoring decent government to the ueed of harmony in opposing the enemy. — That Mission to Mexico. The latest story from Havana is that General Blanco has sent a special commis- sion to the Mexican coast to try to arrange for coal facilities for Spanish ships and to stimulate to activity such sympathy a3 may exist in Mexico for Spain in this war. It will prove a profitiess undertaking; but it is thoroughly characieristic. It is not a whit mor: visionary than have been other calculations in which Spain has indulged. That there are Spaniards living in Mexico who sympathize-with their native country in this struggle is entirely likely. But it is entirely unlikely that they are in numbers or position to make th2ir sympathy felt. Mexico is neutral, and her sympathies are with the Unitéd States. Why should they net be? Does General Blanco imagine that because the United Statzs and Mexico were at war fifty years ago the latter may easily be turned against the former today? It is not improbable. -A Spanish diplomat at Vienna, it will be remembered, thought that th2 ‘southern states might easily be set against the nort His idea was that, upon the appearan of a Spanish fleet off the seuth Adantic coast anywhere, the old southern confederacy would leap into life again, and the Union would be dissolved. Spain is altog>ther behind the times. She had no idea of now thoroughly united this country was until she made it necessary for the fact to be vigorously demonstrated. And she has as little idea of how strong the friendship is that exists between M2xico and the United States. The old differences baye been buried for many years. The two countries ar? in close accord. They take pride in each other’s progress and well be- Although they were at war fifty years the United States thirty years age per- fermed a most friendly servic2 for Mexico by ordering Louis Napoleon out of her bor- ders. Her present peace and prosperity be- gan with that day. Spain has nothing, but the United States everything, to off2r Mexico. So wise and capable a man as President Diaz could not be in doubt for a moment in the premises. Not only is his friendship with us, but his interests are. General Blanco is off on an- other wild goose chase. ——<eo—___. Dixie and Star Spangled Banner. Evidences of a sincere desire on the part of both sections of the country that were at war thirty-five years ago to obliterate the memories of the past and enter upon a new era of American brotherhood are rap- idly accumulating. Yesterday Th2 Star briefly called attention to the fact of the hearty reception accorded by the citizens of Baltimore to the members of the 6th Mas- sachusetts R2giment of Volunteers. Now comes word of an action taken by an or- ganization of northern men—the Hamilton Club of Chicago—that tends in the same di- rection. Ever since the destruction of the Maine in Havana harbor the bands and or- chestras in all cities hav2 been playing pa- triotic tunes, to the delight of the people, who have been aroused to degrees of enthu- siasm almost unknown to the present g2n- eration, The Hamilton Club's suggestion is worthy of consideration and adoption. It proposes to all organizations performing in public that when, on any occasion, they may play a northern or a southern air, they shall immediately follow the same with an air recogniz:d as similarly significant in the other section. When “Dixie” and “Star Spangled Banner” are cheered just as lust- ly whether played on one side or the other of Mason and Dixon’s line, than indeed can it be sald that the era of complete unity is at hand. —_—___ + + = _____ The alleged clock in the post office tower, having rested for several days at a quarter to 2, was started again today, and is now supposed to be noting the hours.

As a timepiece it leay2s much to be desired. ————— ee Emile Zola may have hopes of giving France trouble of her own sufficient to pre- vent her from assuming some of Spain's. —__+ «= Mr. Van Wyck’s prog-am indicates that the cable between him and Richard Croker has not yet been cut. —____ +» —___ There has been some room for fear that Admiral Cervera has mistaken the contest for a yacht race. —____ + 0 Mr. Sulzer’s Nightmare. The House yesterday adopted a provision of the utmost value to the capital, both in its immediate and in its indirect results. ‘Ihe bill affecting the control of certain reservations was so amended as to open the Botanic Gardens to the use of the pub- Me at all hours and to require the removal within six months of the unsightly, useless wall and fence around the reservation that have jointly disfigured this part of the city for many years. The Star has long been pleading for the opening of this area to the public. It contended that it was a self- ish, mistaken policy for the government to keep hidden the beauties of nature as disclosed in the flowering trees, plants and shrubs gathered together in these gardens. It urged that the place might readily be transformed into a region of perpetuaF de- light instead of being preserved as a tempt- ation to the trespasser and a tantalizing spet in the eyes of the weary country-loy- ing man or woman or child. The oppor- tunity to accomplish this long-sought ob- above. There was no good reason for THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, MAY 24, 1898-14 PAGES. folly of continuing the antiquated wall m its place. Members who had been forced cut_of their direct and natural course in driving or walking through the Mall clear- ly appreciated the wisdom of the amend- ment. But Mr. Sulzer of New York, whose femillarity with the flora and fauna of the national capital suggested that of the tra- ditional Englishman who comes to America to hunt buffalo in Central Park, was im- mediately afflicted with a dread vision. He Saw hungry cows wander across Pennsyl- vania avenue in search of the succulent Shrub and the toothsome orchid. He saw gaunt wild horses trample over the delicate lawns. He saw droves of sheep nibbling at the tender leaves of the young palms and flocks of jack rabbits burrowing under the Bartholdi fountain, to its destruction. He saw huntsmen firing wildly at these raven- ous beasts and shattering windows of the greenhouses with their misdirected aim. His mind writhed in an agony of appre- hension lest some great and irreparable harm might come to the horticultural inter- ests of the government by thus throwing down the barriers that have hitherto kept aloof the pigs and the goats that infest the heart of the city. But Mr. Sulzer’s zoological nightmare did not stampede the members. They calmly faced the dread dangers he pictured, resolutely responded to the call for a quorum and ‘Yoted over- whelmingly to tear down the fence and throw open the gardens to the public. Thus at one stroke the House remedied a long-standing evil and declared emphatical- ly in favor of giving the people access to the parks and reservations. This policy, rightly directed, will hasten the inevitable day when Washington shail have no equal in attractiveness among all the cities of the world. ——~>+e—____ Theodore Roosevelt is justified in his con- viction that Spain is one of the most in- teresting and reformer ever had a chance to tackle. ———_++s____ An alliance between France and Spain would very much resemble a nautical part- nership between a cork and a mill stone. > 2} Col.

Lieutenant Colonel Maus, U. 8. A., who has had charge of the physical examina- tion of the twelve thousand New York militiamen mustered into the service of the United Staies, has made a very interesting report upon the subject of this inquiry. Hie firds that it was necessary to exam- ine seventeen thousand soldiers in order to obtain twelve thousand up to the required physical standard, which was placed very high, sume :hink too high. Of this number the three up-country regiments were far superior to the city troops In pnysical de- velopment, a logical result of the tome of pure air and out of door employment and recreation. Of the city soldiers Colonel Maus found the cavalry superior to the infantry— clearly a tribute to the value of exercise on ck. Among the infantry the chief s of rejection were a tendency to Lol- low chests and impaired vision, anmistak- able evidence of long days at’ desk work and poring over ledgers. Poor feet, possi- bly a result of wearing the abominabie pointed shoes now iff vogue, was another frequent defect, and deafness was not un- common. + ++ ___ American Armor Plate. From the London Mail. It is not altogether satisfactory to find that the all-conquering American is not only producing as good armor as England, but producing it cheaper. Yet, according to a German naval periodical, the British firms of Vickers and Brown were under- bidden by the American firms of Carnegie and Bethlehem and by the German firm of Krupp in a tender for the armor of two new Russian battle ships. Both American firms were £8 per ton below the lowest Brit- ish tender.
