As the change is to take place in the very midst of the joyous season between Thanksgiving and Christmas it is natural Tug Cavn should treat the event as something of a holiday oceasion. The removal to the new home and the first appearance of the paper in the new dress with its handsomer type will be cele- brated by the publication of a sy 1 edition designed to be superior to anything yet published in the form of an edition of a daily newspaper; and all the readers of Tix Cavy will have a share in the celebration in the form of a literary treat worth preserving as & souvenir of an important event in the journal- ism of the city, TI'he task of preparing the artistic features of the edition will be entrusted to men who have proved their skill in such work.

One objection urged by the committee was that practically all the functions of government have been concentrated in the Mayor. Thisis accomplished, the address goes on to say, by vesting that offi- clal with the unchecked power of removal and appointment and by restricting the legislative functions of the Supervisors, who are certain to become under the charter, it is averred, the puppets of the Mayor. Since the adoption of this address the office of the Mayor of Greater New York has bezn captured by the Tammany Hall organization. The odor of the scandals unearthed by Dr. Parkhurst still lingers about the men who are now in control of that organization. In the investigations eonducted by the Lexow committee it was shown that Croker had been at the i head of a combination of politicians who were engaged in se- cretly licensing gambling, levying blackmail upon houses of ill fame and fixing cases in the Police Courts. Yet the people of New York have elected as Mayor the candidate of the same combination, with full notice that in administering the govern- ment he will be practically in control of every administrative bureau of the city. We do not say that the people of any city cannot be trusted always to do what is for their best interests, but in view of the protest of the Civic Rights Committee against the creation of an autocratic Mayor in San Francisco, it may not be inappropriate to call the attention of the Citizens’ Charter Committee to the result in New York of an experiment similar to the one they are about to try here. It may be said that Tammany can eventually be dislodged. But can it? How must the poople go to work to dislodge from power a com- bination which dispenses §30,000,000 in patronage annually ? The fact is, there is no experiment in municipal govern- ment so dangerous as that which concentrates power in the hands of a single man. One man rule is an evil wherever it The history of mankind proves that few individuals are created who, unchecked, may safely be entrusted to rule for the benefit of the people. The reason is that few men are entirely unselfish. There occasionally appears in the world a Washington or a Lincoln, but the Neros outnumber them two to one. When the citizens of a municipality turn the manage- ment of their government over to one official on the theory hat it will always be possible to elect a worthy person to fill the place, they put it in the power of a political combination to throttle them. It was supposed that the creation of Greater ew York would result In the triumph of the better element in its politics. As a matter of fact, the most corrupt spoils organization in the world has captured the city at the first trial of strength. Perhaps, in view of the result of this election, it will be well for the Citizens' Charter Committee to consider the protest of the Civic Rights part: SHALL WE IMITATE 'ENGLAND? N old Anglo-Indian, writing in the Allahabad Pioneer, exists. It is & pity we are so fond of decelving ourselves. That colossal cant which endears us to the nations of Europe we here mnix with & good deat ¢f ignorance and apply to ourse, We taik about English rule as though there were nothing the native more delighted in, whereas in sober fruth the genius and habits of the two rnces are 8o utterly divergent that our very virtues make us obnoxious. India has been overrun by conquerors for ages. But until France planted her flag at Pondieherry and England hers at Caleutia the invaders bad been Asiatics. The physical condi- tions of the Hindostan peninsula were natural and azreeable to them and they flourished. Invaaers estabiished the Mogul dynasty and planted Mohammedanism in India, and the glories of Shah Jehan surviving at Agra are the pride uf the Brabhmins, The English are invaders like the Aryans and the Mongols, but they are not Asiatics. The Anglo-Saxon does not flourish in that climate. The child born there of English varents basa | | a nation. Even the Eurasian mongrel falls physically and morally below either parent. That is what is the matter with English rule in India. It is not building up an English community, as in our thirteen colonies, Canada and Australia, where the Anglo-Saxon is physically at home. It 1s the same infirmity as will finally affect all tropical experiments in conquest and government by a non-tropical peovle. 1t 1s the natural iaw which warns against the incorporation of Hawaii into our Government and system. E. P. Dole, Assistant Attorney-General of Hawali under the present oligarchy, in a recent lstter to Senator Chandier, says: 7 “1 wish you could see bow intensely American the Amerl- | cans are here. I wish you could see how enthusiastically the American holidays are kept. The spirit of 1776 burns as | brightly here as at Concord, Lexington or Bunker Hill. It is | nota bad place for some of the American millionaires to have country homes and at the same t'me enjoy the blessing ! of being under the stars and stripes, We have done ail we can | for annexation. The voters of this rapublic are overwhe!m- | ingly for it. Your distinguished colleague, Mr. Morgan of Ala- | bama, is down here having a good time. When he goes back you him what sort of folks we are. I hope you will chip in and belp him all you can, even if he is a Democrat."” That teils the story very frankiy. Of the total population 2 per cent are Americans, most of whom went to Hawali as E. P. Dole did, in adult age in search of fortune. We do not deny that they earried American patriotism with them, or that they have failed to absorb any of that pathetically intense Hawaiian patriotism which the natives feel. They are there as the British are in 1ndia, a non-tropical race in unsuitable tropical conditions under which Anglo-Saxon blocd can never flourish and bas never tlourished from the cradle. “American mitlionaires’” may no doubt find it pleasant there. The Chronicle said in 1881: “The rich manage to get along by buying everything that can be bought in the F of luxuries, but the country is unfit for a white man.” ! Of the natives Attorney-General Dole says in the same letter: They are a fine race of people.

Mr. Dole would tetter carry his intense Americanism back to his native State, New Hampshire, where it seems 10 be needea to remove irom that commonwealth the stain of a greater illit. eragy than is found among the native Hawaiians. | | | Alms sent to Indla from this country naturally met with a cool reception from the English.
