Many iM?o?ile were tempt(*d to believe ypfitenlny
that Dr. Nansen had come to town nnd brou^lit
the North Pole with him. For It was the cold?*st
?lay that lias over been endured here since the
establishment of the Weather Bureau In this
(i;y. ?gorra Usta ? quarter of a century n^o, and
it i? un mere liiiure of si)eecli to assert that New
York was chllhd to the marrow. Possibly gome
citizens, however, are so constituted as to d<>
rJve oonsolutiou from the knowledge Unit there

MOTS 'hau a sjgsa* hag ?dapse?! since the murder
of 1'r.ifessor Max Kr-'lau, but no satisfactory clew
leadlns: toward the pertM'ttator of the crime has
beefl found. For nfter being IINatod, ei*t nt lib?
erty and then again arrested, the two deaf mute
ntssjsjjsjd brother? have been once more re?
stored to freedom, the Grand Jury having yester?
day dismissed the complaint against them on
the ground that there was not ?ufhVlent evldouco
to hold them for trial. The police are, therefore.
In much the ?ame position with regard to the
crime as they were eight.days ago, with this
difference, that the murderer has had that inter?
val in which to cover his tracks.
That the enormous population within the lim?
it? of tho Greater New-York will, before many
>ears, bo compelled to reach beyond present
aource? for an adequate supply of water is COO?
???*ded by thoughtful people, and the suggestion
of Mr. Alfred T. White, recently at the head of
Brooklyn's City Work? Department, that the
'>ebiwar?> Hiver be tapped at Port Jervis, brings
ap numerous Interesting problems. The ques
t!??n of transportation of the water involves eome
stupendous engineering problems, and the possi?
bility of building the new East River bridge in
such a way that conduits or pipe? may be <*ar

THE ?BETTER ELEMENT WILL STAY.
Tin?!.? are three ?lasses of persona now paying
special attention to Hi?' local Republican situa?
tion who seem particularly anxious thai Ihe
protesi of honest Republicans In ibia county
agalnsl the fraudulent usurpation of executive
functions by tbe Lautcrbacb so-called Repub?
lican County Committee should take th?.? form <>f
a boll from ili?' piny. They are: First, Demo?
crats, win? naturally enough rejoice in anything
that portends division In the ranks of ihelr
opponents; second, the Mugwump Contingent
whose riding principle is that anything coherent,
organized and unified must necessarily be Inlqjul
toua in ?*s alms ami totally depraved in ?s meth?
ods, Tin? members <>f this select and superior
body ?>f folks if ihey can ho called a body
naturally delight in anything thai contains ihe
promise ?t ili;?? at of disintegration, disturbance
nii'l scatteratlon. The ihlrd class consista ??' the
adherents ?.f ihe [?nuterbacb faction, who are
mm li more interest???] in retaining possession ??'
tho machinery of the ? irty for buslueaa purposee
of their own than in harmonizing and unifying
the party upon a basis ??!' <?? mmon honesty,
which, while strengthenim* Ihe party, would
weaken their own hold up"i> power. Theselast
have been exhibiting considerable activity and
manifesting unusual indications of excitement
during the lasl two ? ?r ihre? daj -.
To quell this intellectual dlsturliancc and re?
tti ? ? calm to the minila of all these persons, The
Tribune takes l? ave to aay that all of them are By
Ing wide and beating the air over their own vain
Imaginings Tbe protest of bon?>s1 Republicans
agalnsl tbe I-auterbach usurpation does not In
Hu- remotest sense threaten the integrity of the
Republican party or portend disruption even
within the compara lively narro? limits of New
York County. Its significance is almply I
and Tlie Tribune is only repeating now whit It
haa 1??? ? sa* Ine fiom the time \\ ben the I-autei
bach conspiracy Brat began unfolding its. If
tint thousands of honest Republicans In this
county will not recognize the legitimacy ??f the
claim which the so-called Republican County
Committee makes to recognition as the executivi?
body of tbe piny. Will they liolt, then? Rldlcu
louai Why should they? What Is there for them
to bolt against? Certainly nothing In the, car
?linai doctrines of the partj. They have not '?? en
??haiii.''??!, nor is there any effort on foot t?? change
them. Republicans who believe In Prote tl ?u
ami ?Sound Money, bave no Idea of leaving ?
party because tir?? machinery of party urganlia
tion in this county ins fallen Into the banda of
a ?'?irrupt gang of ? ?liticai traders and Bell sedi
ars Tiny are noi s?? weak and silly as to kick
themselves ?nit of ?? party in whoso principles
they have an abiding faith Jusl because a local
branch of the jinny machinery has fallen Into
dishonest bands That would be tbe height of
absurdity,
Sor is there any ground for a l? It on account
of diffi roncea of opinion regarding the n? st po
liticai event, which is the selection of d< I? ?aten
to the convention to nominate a candidate f,?r
President There is no hostility t? Governor
Morton as tbe candidate of the Republicana of
the whole Btate for that high pince, and aa to
any succi ediog political evenl there haa lx ?p ? ?
development "f conditions that would justify
serious consideration of a boll on ace? tint of l
remote possibilities. There may be, and no
doubt are, serious objections In the minds ?>f
many Republicana t" the selection of seventy
two delegates to the National Convention wh
would 1"? simply so many pawns in the hands
of Mr. Platt, to be played In the game after ho
has need Governor Morton's good name and
abused hli good nature up to the point where
sacrifice becomes necessary and compromise use
fill. Rut they have so much confidence In the
ultimate good sens?.? of that representative body
?if Republicans that they hav?? no fear that Mr.
Platt with his seventy-two votes or any other
?Boa? with similar potentiality, will bring about
an unlit nomination, or one which would furnish
tho pretext for a bolt Even if Mr. Platt should
he enabled by bis control of the machinery of
the party in swing tbe whole delegation at bis
own sweet will, there Is nothing in that situa
timi?revolting, ai it musi h??, to tl)<? mitais <?f
honest an?l self-respecting Republicans t?> war?

No; ther?! is nothing whatever in ila? talk which
the Putt-L?auterbacb people are Indulging In
about a holt of the ''better elementM Whether
Mr. l'latt and Mr. Lauterbacb have or have not
any uso f?ir It which, they say with effusi?,n,
they bave not -the ""better element" will stay
In the Republican party, it will stay without
sacrifichi;: principle <>r self respect, it will stay
because that is its proper place, it will stay
because of the conviction that the Republican
party has a record ?nd a history which are the
rightful inheritance of its "hitter element." It
will claim its inheritance. Ami it will not h.?

Right here hi New-York County it will stay, it

Republican party, founded in fraud and perpetu?

ARMY AM) SAVY IN CONG RE 8 8.
At the first session of every new Congress
many hills are presented f??r ih?? reorganization
Of the Army ami the Navy. This year the Army
hills are even more numerous than usual. Major
Getter?] Nels.ni A. Mil's, the rommanding ucii
ernl ?>f the Army, reinforces what The Tribune
has already aaaerted when he says that on?? ?great
obstacle t<> legislation concerning the reorganisa?
tion of the Army has been ihe want of harmony
limoni; otticers, and the efforts that have been
ma?le by Individuals t<> urge special legislation
that would in some way <lire?'tly or Indir? ?tlv
heuetlt themselves, regardless* of i?ossible serious
Injury to Others. There is already much rcas,?n
t?? dotiht th?? paaaage of any of the hills for
Army reoraranliation at ihis session; aud, while
the condition of the Treasury Is one of the seri?
ous qut'xtiinis that stand In the way, it is tot su
much ?m this account that action ?>n the hills la
delayed, as (??-cause of the StTOOg differences of
opinion, am??ui; <illiceis who ?wi the eara ?>f mem?

is, in the Army ar least, loo much or too strong
Individualism when it romes ?? ? question of ;
passing a law to pul the servi.m whal is be- \
lleved to bea modern footing. Sp?cial legislation :
la, a? ? Denti Mili*? ?ays, vicious li gtsutlon, find
all efforts 11 benefll a few at the expense of
many are certain to meet with strong opposition
and result In failure. Member? "f both house?
of Congres? declare that they are annoyed by ?
the ?eltish plea? and protest? sent to them as
private communications, it ?bould not be ditii
cu)! for ili?? officers to lay as!?l" Individual desires
and get together for the general benefit Then,
and not until then, will Congress hav do excuse
fur delaying action.
SETTLING THE SEAL QUESTION.
Tin? Foreign ? elation? Committee of the Sen?
gte is about to report favorably a bill designed
to end, once for all, tli?? controversy about the
fur seals of Behring Sea. Briefly stated, it pro
rides for three things: First, for the prompl
conclusion and proclamation of n temporary
modua vivendi between this Government and
Great Britain, Japan and Rusela for limiting the
yearly catch of seals and for protecting them
from Indiscriminate slaughter. Next, for further
negotiation? with the ?ame (?"overninente for a
permanent system of preserving snd cultivating
the seals. And finally, In case neither <tf the
foregoing end? can Lh? attained, for tb? Immedi?
ate extermination 11 the ???nl?, or at leasi of all
ih?? beni? which make the Prlbyloff Islands their
borne. Thai 1? ti nlemplated only as a last des?
perate resort, Bui II is contemplated, and ? Is
by no mean?; Improh tble that it Is what ?re ?hall
actually come to its the only mean? of getting rid
??f far en ater ? vi!?. F? r thai the pre?? ut system
of pelagic sealing ?bould l"? perpetuated la In

better would p be to Kill till the seals off In tin

GREAT BRITAIN ASH RUSSIA.
Tha Busso-Turklsb treaty Is, of course, ? tre?
mendous blow to the old anti RnsaiaO policy of
England, it is a detractive commentary upon
the "Asian mystery" business to which Disraeli
s?? largely devoted his spectacular talenta it
lniist be h humiliating thing to Lord Hallsbury.
Nor, indeed, I* it a thin?? that the civilised world
in general <"in regard with pleasure, for it is an
alliance between two s'-mi barbarous Powers,
and will Insure the continuance of ?aml-barbar
One rule In the K?st. This hitter Is, however,
sudi a consideration as does not greatly Count
lu European diplomacy, which la usually wholly
selil?.h In Its alms and motives. Apart from mere
human?? sentiment, then, there is no reasoa why
(?real itrltaln should not aciptlesc?? in this new
move of itiissia; nor why she should not actually
coma to a perfectly friendly understanding with
ilio ??reat Northern Power. Whatever ? -: ? ? ??? - the
may bave had It, years past for opposing and
thwarting Russia at ?very step, she can bave
none now, unies? on the extreme ?round of resist
Ing the development of? reactionary, tyrannical
and half-savage Power, for the sake of humanity
and civilization in general.
Constantinople I? no longer the gateway to
India. The Sin?/. Canal has taken Us place a?
such. England practically owns the canal, and
Egypt itself. She has therefor.? lust inter?s! in
Constantinople, and may well afford to Ii t Rusais
have It. Thai will make Rtuwlfl a \l, lit. p ,???,??
Power, ?? is true. lint ?h.? is that already, in all
but name, sin? keeps a fleel there, with Frenen
dockyard? us its base of sui.ply. it will be no
harder to guard against the Russian ??????? in the
Mediterranean then than now. And it would be
the part of wisdom to lai Rosala reach nnfroten
seas In the M'llll? rraneati rath? than in the
Persian i.ulf. In Asia, tix>, ther?? may well be
peace between the old-time rivals. Suppose
Russia gets ? foothold in Cores or Northern
t'liina, for an always open terminal purl for her
Siberian railroad, what barn cutid It do Eng?
land? Commercially, It coitili never hope to rival
Hong Kong. Prom a military point of view, it
could not menai?,? ihe Empire. England coni,?
put Uve ships then? to Russls's one any day. Be?
sides, there Ih Japan, building a navy of a hun?
dred and fifty vessels. With her for an ally
England could langa at anything Rnaata salajht

rei"};niz?'?l lasts* facts when !:.? said, th?? other
?lay. !n the tone of a real statesman: "l fot my
"part frankly1?' ite that, so far, for example, from
'-regarding with f?"ir and jealousy a commercial
