The present campaign In tho five bor ough's which after Jan. 1 next will comprise Greater Nqw Yoik will ur valuable for educating public opinion concerning two antagonistic concep tions of municipal government. A great many personal equations enter Into the problem contained In the can didacies of General Tracy and Seth I-ow; Individual ambition or jealousy is Increasingly prominent in the strug gle; nevertheless the chief feature Is the Issue Lotw pen those who argue for municipal administration on non-partisan lines and those who deny the wis dom of divorcing the politics of the city from the politics of tho state and nation. For some years public opinion tended In the direction of non-partls-nnlsm In municipal affairs nnd this theory, being lavishly praised and weakly opposed, won many eminent adherents, but latterly signs of a re action In favor of a strengthening of the lines of party have been manifest nnd the present canvass in New Yoik city must Inevitably gio to It a con siderable impetus. Theoretically much Is to be said In favor of governing a city as one would manage a large corporation; yet those who condemn bosslsm and deride party fall to recognize that as a matter of practical fact most corporations have their bosses or leading spirits who shape policies, adjust the differences of subordinates and stand In much the same relation to the administrative nf filrs of the corporation na tho party ' boss" occupies towards the adminis trative affairs of tho ward, tho oitv, the township, the county, the state or tho nation. In corporations, too, there are usually parties or rival groups of Interests, one of which generally em ploys Its spare time in keeping Its eye on the doings of tho rival faction, with a view to dishing It at the next an nual stockholders' meeting. This Is so because it Is human nature; and hu man nature is not different when It comes to munlclp-U government from What It is in relation to other forms nnd phases of human association for mutual benefit, In tho case of Mr. lyow wo have the doctrine exemplified that the mayor of a city should be responsible to nobody In patticular. Now if the people as a rule were inclined to bo vigilant in watching the doings of their servants .In offlce and could In the main be trusted Judiciously and fajily to place the responsibility for oiricial. malefi cence, this Idea might give tolerable results In pra-tlee. That is to say, a bad mayor, elected on the non-pat tl san basis, might bo deprived of the compliment of a renomlnatlon; but that would be as far as popular punlsh- punt coud go. Mr. Iow, for exam ple, could bo defeated for re-election if during, his first terra he should piove unacceptable to the people; but the Citizens' Union could not also bo pun ished for its part In foisting him Into pfllce, because ete his one term had elapsed tho Citizens' Union party of nnn.-partbans would bo dissolved into tho thin air and In its place would ap pear some new ephemeral, sprung up as a vehicle to ssomo otlier wealthy citi zen's individual ambition. Whereas under the party form of govprnment respensjblllty rests) not merely ujon tho individual but also upon the pnitj, and these who value the patty's future are in duty hound to act as guardians pnjl ponservators pr the men whom it VtM-hitQ oniea, As the- attorney ken .eraj oJS a j,eghb,qrlng otato fxpresfces thlssamo truth, "an ofllccr dependent Jincm, the, good vjll ot his party must dcfefvp It Ijy such conduct as coin frferfrts Itself tq his party, and tho party in'iurn.'to continue predominant, must tyaja upon such action by the, ofllclal n. -meets the favor of a rnajoilty of the voters." H wilt hardly bo held that If parties may be released frpm eervlee and dla. banded In, municipal affairs there will pa any consistency in clingjng to party iff .Btata and national politics. The governor of a state is not called upon , P hp more of a. partisan than Is the mayor ot a, Jarga city; and if either bo chosen regardless of party ties then M wM Ji9-1L "rder t argue agalnstf SWWPnd, n Xavor of non-partisan per sonalgQYernment n tho nation, after tho fashion of Mr. Cleveland's second administration, "We do not Vellevo that the- American people are ready thus to discard' tho forma of govern ment by political parties which have served thVm upon the whole, nccept OVJrtof HlTo than 120 yearp. They "are much nmrn lllrnlv in .-.nil tur. cleansing- of the party machinery whero lnillftereht citizenship hat. per mitted It to grow rusty nnd to urgo good and clean men lo step to the front In party councils. . It elves Tho Tribune particular pleasure to note that tho gifted young vocalist, Miss 8ndo 13. Kaiser, who nerved it so acceptably during two sea sons as its London correspondent, Is to nppear on the local concert stage next Mohdny ovenlng as tho soprano soloist with Sousa. Tho quality of Mlw Knlser's voice, ns endowed by nature and developed by judicious training, warrants mention on its own merit; nnd what Is even more to the point, the possessor of that voice Is a woman whoso pluck, brightness and sturdy Americanism command tho admiration of all who know her. Miss Kaiser has hnd fairly phenorrlcnnl success in her brief nrofesslonnl career and promises nt no distant day to occupy a com manding place among American con cert singers; but her good fortune has not dulled her energy nor In the least inllnted her own opinion ot herself. The opportunity to greet her on Mon day evening will, wo doubt not, bo eagerly embraced by Scranton patrons of music. A Fight to the Finish. The newest cabinet upheaval at Mad rid Ih Interpreted by many to mean that circumstances are forcing Spain toward tho ndoptlon ot an onllphtcncd colonial policy for Cuba. Among those v hi) have this opinion Is President Mc Kbnley. There Is warrant for he ns-f-crtlon that his aim has fiom the enillest moment bp'n to indue j Spain by pncillc repiesentntlons to oftor to the Cuban Insurgents a proposition of complete autonomy, and Hu"-- worthy advices represent that he is today moip encouraged In this nim t'mn nt any pre lolls time. He feels, ns indeed cur rent events conspicuously show, that Wejleiism Is breaking don of Its own dead weight, and he no doubt believes that when Its collapse Is complete Spanish statesmanship will come to Its senses and the negotiation of an honorable peace for Cuba will proceed to a speedy conclusion. The nmbltion to be the chief agent of such a triumph of reason over carn age nnd pafcslon does credit to our president's heart; but what if events should befall otherwise? We think we may safely say that the leaders of the Insurgent cause in Cuba will never sheathe their swords until their Is land Is lid for all time to come ot every Spanish ofllclal now on Its soil. We were recently pilvlleged to peruse ceitnln private communications from generals high In the estimation of the revolting Cubans, and their .tone and tenor, corroborating much public evi dence on this point, give absolutely no ground w hatevcr for the hope that any basis of compromise can lie reached between Spain and the followers of Gomez. These eminent wairiois for liberty say they have suffered too great a sacrifice in their present struggle to discontinue It before they are either utterly beaten or utterly victorious; and foreseeing unqualified victory in the comparatively near future they ate determined, they say, to await its tri umphant arrival lather than antici pate it in pait only by means of a du bious compromise. And, after all, are they not right? Could any American, situated as these Cubans are situated, lemembering in Spanish sovereignty only one piolonged agony of cruelty, arrogance and op pression, and having already accepted the extremest hazards In the laudable ambition to be free, by any possibility Imagine himself willing to compiomlso the Issue and le-avow even nominal fealty to such a perfidious and disrep utable .sway? That Is the only fair way to look at this matter. Let Amer icans put themselves In the Cubans' plnce. The- tiansposltlon, oven If Im aginary, will seive at once to indi cate the slight basis of piob.ibility which there is for President McKln ley to build a hope for nutonomy on. The time for autonomy has gone by. It existed once, but that was long ago befote Spain bioke faith at the end of the pievlous war for Cuban Inde pendence; before bloody Weyler was put Into the field to turn tho fairest hpot on earth Into a literal hell. With this chapter of horrors open before them the militant Cubans are not like ly to accommodate Spain by softening the conditions of Spain's sunender; nnd it seems to us that no American who looks at the subject from a Cuban standpoint could wish them to do so The cold fact is that Spain is at last conscious that she is beaten and Is casting about for some means to break the shock of her fall Piesldent Mc Klnley, n the warmth of his generous natuie. appears to be disposed to help Spain out of her dilemma. He appears to sympathize keenlj with Spain's in creasing distress and embanassment nnd to be determined to go a gieat way toward minimizing it by the ex eiclse of tact, patience and fastidious nicety of expression. All this Is cred itable to hl hentt and eloquent In its testimonial to his amiability; but In the meantime down In Cuba men and women and Innocent children are be ing starved or maltreated to death by the hundteds for no other reason than having dared to rebel against an In human and an Intolerable government, anl It sometimes occurs to us that It Is a pity so much consideration has to bo shown by tho head of this republic to the disputable monarchy of Spain and so llj,tle to tho young but well established nnd certainly praiseworthy republic, of Cuba. Eugene V. Debs tells worklngmen that strikes don't pay anil urges them instead to combine for labor's benefit at the ballqt box. In thin connection Mr, Debs piobably knows where labor can find a ftrs(-claBS candidate. - . i i Those Demopratlo organs which ap pear to wapt tq drag the Lattlmer shooting into partisan politics should not forget that It yas a Democratic president who vetoed the Lodge bill to restrict Immigration. m i Mr. Walter Wellman, tho Washing ton correspondent of Mr. Kohjsaat's Chicago prgan, Who a few months ago was for invading Cuba and ejecting ihe Spaniards by mfilo force, qnd, who pre dicted time and again that tho admln Istratlon'p 3uban policy would rouie the national spirit like a tanlc. now begs thu newspapers ot tho country to put a gag on congress so that when It reassembles next winter It will not say boo, but give the president full swing In his attempt to coax Spain to bo good, Mr. Wellman evidently has a Rtiinll opinion of congress. Itend tho Sun these days nnd ypu will learn that It is Seth Low who is go ing to withdraw from the greater New York mnyoraity fight; pick up any other New York pnper and you will see It Is General Tracy. What If they both stick? Iteport has it that Claus Sp'recklcs, the sugar magnate, will cease to op pose Hawaiian annexation It Hawaii will grant him certain concessions, Docs Glaus Sprecklcs have any string on tho United States senate? Canada has another war scare.causcd by a report that Undo Sam intends to station a war ship In Lake Erie. Of course the scare Is groundless; but Canada's nervousness does not be token a restful conscience. There can bo no doubt that If tho matter of tho form of tho official ballot were left to a vote of the voters of Pennsylvania the single-column ballot would win In a canter.

One Remedy for Race Prejudice From the Ncv York Sun. Tho shooting of the negro postmaster at HogansMlle, Georgia, continues to bo tho topic of njwspapei editorials, preach ers' sermons, and generally extended dis cussion. Tho f.lnts 1!1 Jioon fnlK .Mln.l In our news columrs Loftln, the postmas ter. Is an Inlluintlul co'ored man who was a delegate to tho St. Louis conven tion which nominated JIcKlnlej. Tho whlto pcoplo nt Hogansvllle, who are (In scribed as most worthy and law -abiding, objected to tho appointment of a negro as postmaster for their village, and the) made an agreement among them selves to kill Loftln if ho wns appointed, and to kill any other negro who should succeed him. Loftln was shot from am bush, according to programme, as soon as ho got the olllce; and notice was served on tho federal government that the 10 malnlng part ot the compact would be car ried out as soon as anothet negro was in stalled in the postolllce. Feeling runs very high among the Hogansvlllo citizens, and there is nu doubt that they aie de termined to stand no nom(nso from Washington In tho matter. o We do not think we are putting It too strongly to say that tho whlto people In the northern part of tho United States .o gard the attltudo of the Hogansvlllo citi zens with disapproval Tho enli debate Is os to the exact course which the federal government ought to take In the compli cated ca. It is held in some quarters that tho propei thing for tho administra tion to do Is to decide and dcllnltely an nounce that hereafter negioes will not be appointed as postmasters. U Is esplalntd that to see nefcroes In pcstotllces or other federal olllees Is vers distasteful to south erners, and If Mr McKlnley Is wlso ho will face tho fact and not try to alter tho naturo of a high-strung j eople. If a col ored man wants to be postmaster in the south, let him get himself elected by a popular vote of the patrons of the olllce. Then if he is pointed there will be no Shooting. Suchs tho solution of the dif ficult), advocated with great vigor by that tjplcally patriotic and courageous American citizen, Mr Godkin, tho editor of a newspaper owned by the daughter of William Lloyd Garrison On tho other hand, there are thoso who declare that tho shooting of this ipoor negro Is an af front than which thero could bo none car rying a more wanton or blacker infamy to tho majesty and honor of tho wholo people of this proud country. They aro In favor of punishing the assassins and protecting whomsoever the president chooses to appoint to postolllces or any other offices m Georgia, oven" If tho en tire state Is nut under martial law and tho entire army of tho United States stands with fixed baioneta around It. Wo do not sympathize with etther of theso views. One Is bonoath contempt, the other offers a remedy worse thnn tho dlsoase. There is a cure ready at Mr. McKlnley's hands, mild, proper nnd ef fectual. Let him discontinue the Hogans vlllo postollhje. Let tho white people In that neighborhood, If they cannot endure a federal servant who has been lawfully named And is faithfully performing his duties, go without the federal postal ser vice. Do not forco them to got their let ters from a colored postmaster If It Is repugnant to them. Glvo them full per mission to get their mall from tho near est white postmaster, at a dlstanco of fifteen or twenty miles, Let It bo under stood that thlB'ls the ppllpy ot the admin istration regarding any plapot great or flmitll. north or south, where tho pastm&s ter Is hi danger of assassination or mal treatment from tho chivalrous people of the noighboihood, l'loHibly after one noteworthy application of this policy tho killing of negro postmasters will cease. A VAKIA.TION. Having recently recovered from an at tack of typhoid fever, which caused tho loss of her hair, a young woman of this city Is obliged to wear a wig. In a mo ment of frolic, she took It oft and hung it on tho chatulollar. "Tako It oft tho gas Jet, quick!" ex claimed her husband. "Why?" "It may mako you light-headed." Sho gazed at him In deep admiration and said: "That's Just splendid I You nro ever nnd over so clover! I'm going lo remem ber that and tell it to mother when sho comes." When tho vIbU occurred, sho waited until thero was a lull In tho conversa. lion, and with great deliberation, hung tho wig on the chandelier ns before. Then Bho coughed until she had attracted her mother's attention: "What mndo you do that?" was tho natural Inquiry. "Ohl" exclaimed tho daughter. "How very reckless of me. I shouldn't think of doing such a thing." "Why not?" Inqulicd her husband, com ing to her rescue. "Ilocause-cr-n that Is to say, for the reason that It may mako mo dizzy!" Sho never made reference to tho enlm fortltudo with which her mother met tho sally, but sho did have something very caustic to say about the egotism of a man who laughs Immoderately over his own attempts nt humor, Washing ton Star. 8TJ3I3L HAIL WAGON IIOADS. From thn Springfield Ilepnbllcan. Tho experiment of a steel track for country roads, em which loads may bo hauled In ordinary vehicles, is to bo tried near Geneva, N. Y by tho agricultural experiment stutlon at that place. This pioject has often been broached, and cer tainly was so over 40 years ago, but no practical experiment has over been maele, so far as wo remembor. And for good reasons tho great expense of tho rails for one, and oven now that tho price of steel is very low, tho rails to bo used nt Geneva will cost $3,300 a mile Another roason Is that ordinary vehicles could not psq steel rails, there would have to be considerable modification in wheels, brakes, etc,, find It Is doubtful whether It would pay to do nnythlng so long os horses or oxen aro to do the teaming the scir-movlng vehicle first must be developed, nnd probably It would bo best to wait on the progress In electrical appliances even then. Then thero must bo for real convenience double tracks, and, moreover, the roadbed would have to bo polld and substantial, to stand all weathers. In line, the steel rail Is but ono item In what must come, and It Is rather odd to have It seriously spoken of alone. LIPE NOT SHOKTKNEB. Trom the Providence Journal. The common notion that tho faster paea of modern life H fatal to longevity is pretty well exploded by some belated cen sus figures that have Just been publlsheJ in Washington. From theso figures it ap pears that In ISM there was In this countiy a greater proportion of the population over seventy ears of age than there was ten j ears before, and the census of 1890, It is also noted, disclosed a similar improve ment over 1S70. Thoso fiom seventy to seventy -four i ears comprised 1,12 percent, of the total In l!90 against only .0) per cent. In 18S0; for the nest five jcars (n tho scale the Increase was from .36 to 63 per cent , for the next llvo from .29 o J per cent., for the next llvo from .1(1 to .12 per cent., and flnill) the propoitlon of persons between ninety and ninety-live vears of ago increased from .03 to 04 per cent. It Is nonsense, then, to say tmt human life has been shortened by the de generacy, luxury and rapidity of modern times. TIII3 CINGHH SNAP. Trom the Post-Cxpres.
