in I appointing in hi?. pla??e Edward C. O'Brien,
ll Is ?i proal public gain to gel rid of "Andy"
White, whose appolntmenl on the Dock Board
by Mayor Gllroy under peculiar clrcumstances
aroused serious suspicion In ill" public mind.
?' tnmissioner O'Brien has had considerable eg
perionce in officiai lit?', having served os ?".?in
missioner <>f Navigation under Presldenl Hani
son, and 1 *? ?*. appolntmenl by Mayor Strong was
warmly urged by citizens Interested in the Im?
provement ?>f '?in- water-front. He is. we judge,
well fitted I ?r his new office.
Special Interest and Importance will be al
lachet] by all people \. i i ? ? do their own think?
ing to ill" opinions of eminent lawyera which
we publish this morning regarding the constitu?
tionality of tir- Lexow Police MIL These "?'?li?
ions bear the signatures of Mr. Hornblower,
Mr. Carter, Mr. Koot, Mr. Larocque, Mr. Par?
sons and other leaders of the bar In this city.
Th'-y -ill agree thai certain provisions of the
bill arc hostile to the Constitution; and their
nn.millions opinion to thai ofrec? leaves little
doubl lhal the rotins will so declare it' ihe ques?
tion is ever brought before them. The mem?
bers of the Legislature may not hesitate to
enacl a bill knowing it t.? be unconstitutional,
bul the people will noi be slow in making up
their minds regarding a Legislature *mi?:ilil.
of sin'ii imbecility.
AT ai r. i.\ r.
There Is no f"Lr over the situation nt Albany.
The voters of this city and of the whole State
have :i i,? i*f. ?-:lv clear understanding of it.
They know thai the lines are drawn; and they
know jus! ,11 well as 'li" men directly engaged
the precise character of the Issue; whal 11 means
;.? the men In Hi" thick of the fight, and whai i'
means, above all, t ? the fri? nds of good g??vern
ni.-nr and Hie citizens of this rogue ridd? :i town.
if any . f the gentlemen at Albany in whom
the responsibility for reform legislation Ims
i.n intrusted for one moment suppoH?' thai
ili \- can obscure the Issue or conceal t!n-ir own
real motives and purpoaea by raining ?i ?In-;
over small details und matters of minor Inijior?
tance, or by creating a din with party shlblw
leths and war cries, they may as well undeoi Ive
themselves nt once. The Republican party
elected a majority of both branches of the
Legislature and the Governor, and they wore
ih.? potential factors In the election of th?
Mayor and the Reform administration In ili"
government of this city, There is no <l?mh1 in
the mind of any Intelligent man as to a*hai thai
action signified. So far as the Republican
votera of this city are concerned, 11 wai i ?
expression of an unmistakable demand for mu?
nicipal reform, and chiefly for a radical an.I
Bweeplng reform cf :i police system which had
be? n shown to be corrupi and r ?tten thi
out They voted for that with a passionate and
eagi r d? sire, born ol a bi ase ..f helplessness i I
hopelessness without it. And thai is whal they
wan: now. They expect, and have a rlghl to
expect, that the Republicana In tli" Legislature
?ill grant theJr pray?. They were elected to
do that. More for that than for anything else.
Whal is the straight way to answer them.1
Whal the honest way? is there any other
straight way, any other honest way. than by
giving them n hearing 1 The Committee ot
Seventy and the sub-committee of ten, to whom
they committed the i -*i-k of putting In proper
form the legislation 111 ? y desire, stand to-day
for ili" Republican party <?f the city and county
of Now fork. sin... tins party adopted the plat
form and approved tli" candblatea of that com
mlttee, and upon that adoption and approval
secured control ol the municipal administration,
nothing has occurred to warrant the withdrawal
of confidence oi repudiation of the i?l? < 1 -^. -> .\
pressed and Implied. It is the Republican party
of iiiis city and county, then, that presents to
ih.? Legislature on Ita own behalf, and on b?
half "f nil dtisens who favor municipal reform,
certain well-considered and carefully prepared
bills Intended to meet the demand of tue peo?
ple and carry their wishes Into effect. It is no?
where Intimated that ili" gentlemen composing
iKis committee have any personal enda to serve
or that their motives are not entirely pure and
patriotic. We make no commenl now upon the
purposea <>r motives of those who oppose the
committee's plans; we suggest neither com
parison no* contrast between the character, the
reputation, the civic record of the Individual
members of the committee with the character,
reputation and record of the i an who by com?
mon consent snd public notoriety beads the
opp ?sltlon. The only Inquiry we raise la
whether a Republican Legislature can afford
to deny a hearing to tins committee, or upon
a bearing to c? mi regardless <?f the views of
ni-n win? in iiiis extremely Important matter
represent the convictions and the wishes of the
Republican party <>f iiii?. cliy and county,
yesterday's discussion in the Senate s. rvr-d
a useful purpose, it threw no new light, to be
sure, ti|?..n ili?- main question, which is, whether
ili?? Police Department and police ?'oiins shall
i." reformed In the lnteresi of the citizens and
taxpayers of the town or for the perpetuation
of one man'i power in the Republican party;
that was plain enough before. But it ?li?l ?lis
close the fa?'t that the greatest pressure has
i.n brought to bear upon Senators to induce
ih?m to betray both principle and party, and
that gome of them are weak enough to suppose
that they can trade upon the needs and the
distresses of this great city for the advance?
ment "f sonn? local lnteresi or the accomplish?
ment of some petty persona] end, it appeared
during tho debate that one Senator actuated,
nndoubtedly, by an honest motive, but evident?
ly unmindful of the Impropriety ?>f ins action
had made direct Intralry "f Mayor stroiij,*
whether the bills under discussion hud his ap?
proval, a cate?forlcal answer would, <>f ??ours??,
antic?pate the Mayor's action when the bills, if
passed, should <'.?ni" before him for approval or
disapproval. Thi Mayor, as Is well known, has
constantly and consistently refused t?> commit
himself with reference to pending or pt*op4*>sed
legislation. Rut there can be no doubt |p the
mind ??f any Intelligent legislator as to whal the
voters who elected Mayor Btrong think about
tin-si? bills. Thes.? voters liave given a ??uinnis
sion to representatives to act for them in whose
ability and Integrity they mist most Implicitly.
And they certainly will not be satisfied if the
Legishtture should treat those representatives
with ih?? contempt implied In the snap Judgment
of the ?-aliens.
The bills consklered yesterday will not be
??out?? laws. I-'i'.iui present appe.'?rniie<s tiny will
not pass the Letdslature. They certainly win
not i?.? approve?! by th.? Mayor, ami tin? friends
..f ...-.d ?.'ov.-niniei.t may rest assured thai no
bill reUtlag to the aCalrs of this dty which is
I not approved by Mayor Strong will be dgncd
. by Governor Morton.

J?GGLI \'G ?fill! I EHE ISE.
The diplomatie relations of the Cleveland A I
ministration v. ith Hawaii, ?'?enexueln, Nicaragua
and Hu- Spanish Wosl Indies are now envelop ?1
with uncertainty and mystery. I'a bind confer
enees aro luid, and Ihe newspaiiers are tilled
with conj? duras and explanations; hul neither

practical application ??f the Monroe Doctrine
t?> existing complications nre as Inserat able as
the studli** of hag? and fog In Turner's pictures.
I', rsplcuity in this class ?,f diplomatic questions
oughl nut ?perhaps to ?be expected, for American
practice has m id,mi been in Un?? with tli" bis
torical canon of ( Continental policy.
The Monroe ?Doctrine has aever been recog?
nised In Europe as anything more than a Ml
??f Yankee braggadocio. Mr. h'roude was ae
ciist.iineii to compare II to the famous Pajwl
bull bestowing on Spain all the countries lying
within the trapica west of the Atlantic. The
l'ope a-, lord "f ih" \"\v ?World bad declared
that Spaniards alone should own territory <?r
carry on trade In the continent discovered ?by
them. So long as there was physical force t?>
support ih" bull tin- doctrine was ?respected; but
win-n s?a rovers, adventurers and English colo?
nists challenged Spanish supremacy on sea and
land, the New World was opened to the Anglo
Sax?m as well as the Latin races, in like mann? r
the Monroe Doctrine has do potency as a con?
juring phrase. Its moral force as a proclamation
of the homogeneity of all interests affecting the

Internal lmprov?**ments, has stocked the mini*?
and fiiiid.il and refunded the national debts
and has Buropeanlsed Spanish America. Mean?
while, one American Administration after an?
oilier has aimlessly rang the changes upon the
Monroe Doctrine, very pinch as s?*cretary
Groaban is now doing in Vetiesnelan and Nica
racnan affairs.
in its primary form ihe Monroe Doctrine waa
g protest againsl any extension of Estopean
colonization on the American f5ontIn4?nt, and
a declaration thai any Interference with the
liberties of nations which bad won their Inde?

ical America, or thai the phrase -'America for
the Americana " means anything mote than a
v.-1-.'iie menai.f the extension of the sover?
eignty of the t'nited States southward. Pof
thirty years Spanish America has been solicit?
ing European Immigration, trade and capital,
ami attributing Its material progress to its own
Virtue* and energies. As soon as the Monroe
1 Doctrine was proclaimed, its real author, John
Quincy Adams, feebly Interpreted it In a mes
: gage to Congress as an agreement thai each
! country mus? guard Ita own territory from Eu?
ropean encroachment without help from any
other American nation; and from thai ?lay the
principle has been revived only to be compro

Indeed, it was not until HWO, wh.-n th?? Pan

opened for the negotiation of rerfprocity treaties
as the basis of economic and commercial union
between the various nations of this continent,
thai the Monroe Doctrine was carried to Us
logieal conclusion. Thar was tin? first practical
attempt to unite twenty American republics on

I II F IARI Ft MAKING Mist III F.F.
Two raiisea of apprehension in Ihe textile
manufactures are mentioned this week by trade
Journale, the frequency of strikes, particularly
in w...II. n mills, ami the tntMMtBCJ and Impor
tance of cancellations, Both are evidences <?f
ih?? Incalculable Injury done by the change In
the tariff, it is Important to understand these
movements, because Hey show the working ??f
??anses n,,t by ,|,1V means confined to textile
establishments,
The cancellatlona are partly unwarranted and
essentially dishonorable. Having giren orders

a desperate effort ma.le by some of the manu?

getting poorer sitifT for his money when he
biivs snch American ?Jtoods as have deteriorated
in ?itiality. or such foreign goods as an- sent
here to capture this market.
The u'oiibii- about warm? springs from the
general Impression among employes that a/hen
ntaiiiifdcfuri'is gel orders they yet protits. But
in ti.ii'-s Uke these that Is by no meana trae.
Very often a manufacturer has orden that only
suilh'e to keep his mills at WOlk part time,
which, owing o? the Increnscd eosl <>f pr???i?n*
ii"ti under snch rircumstan?ws, in- cannol take
without loss, unless be cao aomehow contrive
t?? keep th" works fully employed. With that
object, and in order t" retain his market as far
as possible, he accepts enough other orders tu
keep his works employed, though these other
' ..ni? rs may not by themselves yield anything
bin a l"ss. The gverago for th" whole output,
he calculates, may yield ?something above bare
cost, with labor at the rate recently prevailing.
But when the banda demand a restoration of
wages to ih'- raws paid before the prostration,
the naked question for the manufacturer la
whether he shall run his mills at a certain and
often a large loss or not run them at all.
The vragea and prices prevailing iwo awl
three y??ars ago were so closely adjusted to o.n-h
other Hin "tily moderate profita were real EeiJ
in weH-managed and successful mills. The home
competition was so sharp and severe that works
which were ii"t well managed rarely realised
any profit, and a large number "f them
were forced Into bankruptcy or compelled to
st?it>, ?'ven in those years of prosperity, Th"
c<ist of wool in th" manufacture Is, on ?le- whole,
less than ?'!" per cent ?if ihe cost "f good??, so
that tin- cheapness "f tin- material by no means
compensates, as t?> a great number "f products
In general us?, tor the decline which foreign
competition and tin- undervaluations ?if foreign
goods make necessary. II is th?- nnwdcnmc
fa?'t that a large proportion of the mills now at
work would be forced t?? ?.top. and the operatives
would ?have m? wages whatever, If tbey should
refus,? t.? work at materially lower wages (han
