The unanimous renomination of President IfcKintey fulfils the universal expectation, com pletely satisfies the Republican party and indi cates to many thousands of Its traditional ad versaries the path of political duty which they must pursue. it would be superfluous to say that the President has earned the tribute formally paid to him yesterday by the Repub lican National Convents inasmuch as the pos sibility of another candidate in 1900 has never been seriously considered since 1896, or so much as suggested since preparations for this year's eampaijrn began. It would not be a kind ness to the President to contend that his ad ministration has been without a blemish. His most faithful friends, including The Tribune, have deemed it their duty more than once to express regret at what they conceived to be an unwise employment of his powers, as when he nominated Mr Hazel to a Federal judgesuip; or an unfortunate failure to employ them, as wfcen just prior to the Spanish war be permit ted Congress to encroach somewhat upon the undoubted prerogatives of the Executive. But such examples of fallibility supply, after all. an impre-- • rmatlon Of Minister Phelps's famous apothegm: "The man who doesn't make mistakes dofesn'l make anything." The simple truth, to which the whole world bears witness and which his most censorious critics at home are hardly bold enough to dispute, is that under conditions extraordinarflj complicated and at times actually appalling the President has per formed the duties of his great office with pru- Jtence sagacity and firmness equal to every essential requirement, nnd now stands before the people as the embodiment of their delib erate will and their loftiest aspirations. It will Ik? said by those who would depreciate the merit of a leadership the main results of which they are compelled to approve that Pres ident McKinley has had unprecedented oppor tunities to gain Strength and fame; that events placed him to a great extent beyond the reach <jf political it-alousy and intrigue, gave him a clear ieid for action and offered him a reward which it oold have been difficult to miss. But t'.:e real effect of sneb attempted disparagement is to etebrate the unusual qualities of the man. The pportamltles have indeed been great, but the difficulties and risks have been in propor tion. Confidenoe was patriotically and gener ooaty reposed in President ICcKlnley, as it would have been reposed In any President con fronting a situation which summoned the Na tion's moral forces into action: but that confl fcawe would have been surely wit wn ii be bid proved unworthy of it. and il a meas ilte Of Support barely equal to the occasion had eaartfnoed to exist while it was imperatively Ti*-<<\<-<\ the passing of the emergency would have eosjaagJMd him and his party to boneless — iti. XJoth had reason to dread the Inevitable reaction following a war hurriedly begun and ond^d while initial mistakes and mischances wore still fresh in the public mind, and there is ample cause for surprise and pride in the fact that searching inquiry, free discussion and copious complaint have disclosed so fen- points at which the Administration is vulnerable. The Republican party does not assume, ex cept by the mouths of its least valued orator?, titles which it cannot defend. It does not claim credit for bountiful harvests or any of the mani f. Id gifts of Heaven. But it does maintain that it has organized tho conditions which enable the just and the unjust to utilize those gifts. and confidently appeals to the people for a con clusive acknowledgment of that service. It un dertook four years ago to revive an industrial policy essential to the restoration of prosperity, nnd tho country is now prospering as it never prospered before, it promised to advance and keep inviolable the public credit, and to-day tho financial standing of the United States is tho hijjhost in the world. It bound itself to pro mote tho welfare of tho Nation and to protoct its honor under all circumstances that might arise, and its response to unforeseen nnd mo mentous demands has boon instant nnd ade quate. It now renews these general and spe cific pledges, and with special emphasis guar antees the faithful performance of these new obligations, however arduous they may prove to bo. Wo have sn!d that the renominntlon of Presi dent McKinley is ns satisfactory as it wns cer tain. It is equally obvious that Governor Roose velt was the Convention's only choice for Vice- Presldent It Is conceivable that if he had been willing to assume an attitude of positive de fiance nt Philadelphia he mlghi have escaped the nomination which he tried to refuse, but there was never the slightest doubt as to the desire and determination of n vast majority of the delegates, and to say that he is not abun dantly justified In believing that he bowed to the inevitable would be virtually equivalent to saying that there is no degree of pressure to which a resolute spirit Is compelled to yield. It is a fortunate circumstance that though the sinister purposes of Mr. I'latt were accom i he had at the last little, if anything, to do with their accomplishment. He succeeded in making the New York delegation imp. dent and ridiculous, and that is practically all he did. The fact that the demands of delegates from States where the will of its members con trols the action of the party proved Irresistible is strong evidence that the nomination for Vice Provident was wisely made, and we do not need to assure McKinley and Roosevelt of Tho Tribune's constant, zealous nnd joyful support nt every moment of the campaign. KEW-YORK AT THE CONTENTION. The New-York organization doubtless comes back from Philadelphia with a certain feeling of relief and satisfaction. It has succeeded In removing Theodore Roosevelt from the <;■>; ernorship nnd In eliminating him from State politics except for the haunting possibility that, like John Brown, he may trouble it mon ever when It has nailed bis coffin down. That trouble, however, is in the future, and t: lowers of the machine do not borrow future troubles. Enough for them nnd their corpora tion employers to be rid of a worrisome Gov ernor, and it is on Mr. Plan's shoulders to find a new candidate who can be elected. Mr. Lauterbach nnd his Ramapo and Mr. Quigg and his Metropolitan Street Railway Interests have reason to bo vastly pleased. But the average New-Yorker, even while expressing satisfa< tlon with the tinal outcome, must feel ashamed of the delegation's appearance and methods at Philadelphia and inclined to applaud Michael .1. Dady's reported complaint to Mr. Plan: "New- York State is being made ridiculous." What could be more ridiculous than the back ing and filling, the Insincere promises, the hol low declarations and false pretences of the Now- York delegation under Mr. Plntr's leader ship? What, indeed, hut previous examples of Mr. Plan's use of New-York for his games In National conventions? In 1896 he made the New-York delegation as ridiculous for its insin cere and impotent talk of Morton as he made it by the preposterous declaration for Woodruff when everybody knew that it did not mean Woodruff, that there was not a ghost of a chance of his nomination, and that the dele gates in the very act of pledging Their support to the Lieutenant-Governor were plotting to throw the nomination to the man they were pretending to divert it from. Mr. Piatt had no idea of nominating Governor Morton. He knew 11 his expressions of confidence were false, and that he was merely presenting New-York to the Nation as the exponent of a sham move and making it contemptible nnd without influence. Four years before Mr. Platt went to Minneapolis using the great name of the dying Blame ns the cover for another of his shams. The overwhelming sentiment of the party was. of course, for Genera] Harrison, and New-York State was merely made ridiculous to serve Mr. Plmt's petty resentments. The record of New- York at Philadelphia is right in line with its past performances. What a spectacle the State made going to the Convention with a promise not to push Gov ernor Roosevelt, and immediately beginning an Intrigue in violation of its pledge! What a mockery was Its pretence of support for Lieu tenant-Governor Woodruff when there was not a man in the delegation who expected to vote for Mr. Woodruff in the Convention. The scheme of bad faith and fraud went Through, buT tho delegates who have a sense of self respect, men like Mr. Payne, Mr. Sloan and Mr. Saxton. must feel humiliated over the condi tion of the [tarty which compels them to per form before the country the ridiculous dance to such piping. It is a melancholy exhibition for a great Stale to make in the counsels of the Nation. A i! ERICA NOT AT \Y \K CHINA. "Le Figaro" dissents from the declaration that ihe I'nited States is not at war with China. It insists that it is; that it must be. European Powers are, or will be. and the United States ••cannot refuse to join them. The '•interests of this country make it Imperative "that it shall join them." Thus argues "Le Figaro," sometimes a jester and sometimes the • serious of Journals. If In the present case it be serious, its argument must be deemed hopelessly unconvincing. We had not supposed the European Powers wen- yet actually at war with ''hina. Certainly the I'uited States is not, and at the present moment there seems to !>.■ no reason why it should be. It proposes to send, and is sending, Sblpfl and troops to China for the rescue and protection Of its citizens. It may use them for the protection of other foreigners and for the restoration of law and order. Hut it can do all ihat without formally going to war with China. Mr. Wu. the amiable nnd esteemed Chinese Minister at Washington, Is Just as much persona grata now as ever, and is likely to r< main so. In this work the United Slates may act In harmony and co-operation with the European Powers. That will be because they and it are working to such an extent for the same end. It will not be because the I'nited States belongs to any "concert of Powers," nor because she I* under any compulsion to join the European Powers hi their undertakings. No matter how closely its actions coincide with theirs, it will remain absolutely lndep< ndent of them it may work with them In perfect liaxiiiuui ujulU v* XEW-YORK- DAILY TRIBUNE. FRIDAY.- JUNE 22, 1900. interests are vindicated and safeguarded: but thon, if thoy £o on to a wnr of conquest nnd partition, it will be undor not the slightest com pulsion to follow thoni. It is not at war with China and does not moan to be. It wants with China, as with all nations, only "peace, com merce and honest friendship." AMXESTY IN THE PHILIPPINES. The Government has the courage of its pro fessions in the Philippines. It has recently de clared, through official channels both civil and military, that the war in those islands was ended. That is to say. the rebel organization was shattered, the rebel Government disbanded. the rebel army dispersed. There might still he sporadic disorder on the pan of individuals and fugitive bands, but organized and considerable resistance to the Government, such as alone would be worthy oi' the title of belligerence, was at an end. The statement was generally accepted as true, the only exception being In the case of a fpw American Apuinaldista who look for a Valley Forge in every jungle of Luzon. The natural and appropriate sequel follows. The President announces, through the Military Governor, a full and perfect amnesty to all the late rebels and to those of the few who are still rebellious who shall within ninety days lay down their .inns and submit to the lawful authority of th< Government This act could not properly have been performed while there was organized and extended insurrection in the islands. Rebellion is noi thus to be dealt with. Rut after rebellion is inexorably suppressed, then is the time for amnesty and for all gen erous measures that will heal the wounds of war and produce harmony, loyalty and good fel lowship. In Issuing the amnesty proclamation :it this time, therefore, the President attests in the strongest way his belief and the belief of the Government that the war Is Indeed ended. It will lie observed thai the proclamation Is framed in the most generous terms. The am nesty is universal, save, of course, in the case of those who have violated the laws of war. It Is a pardon for soldiers, not for assassins. No onerous conditions are imposed, but the act of acceptance of the amnesty is made as easy ns possible. The late rebels will be paid in cash for the rifles they surrender a stun suffi cient in thai country to give them material aid toward resuming the occupations and w.-ns of peace, and they will have free transportation, if they wish it. to their old homes or to any part of the archipelago they may elect to settle In. There are probably not many who need to aval themselves of the offer of amnesty, for the number of rebels wns never large, and it has been steadily diminished by desertions. But it will be agreeable to report the prompi coming In of the few who. under false Incite ment or false hopes, have stubbornly held out. The purport of the proclamation is "Let us bave peace." Ir Is confidently to be believed that there will in fact be peace THI iSS ISSiy S E V LVDED. The old sophism "killing no murder ' does not prevail in these days. The I nlted States Gov ernment does not deem assassination a legltl mate means of political action. A man win* deliberately plans ;i nd c\e. iitc-. or in :i m way ;.ss;s;s in. ■ and cowardly murder of an unoffending fellow man Is not entitled to asylum or to countenance aa a men offender." That is the elemental common which hns been formulated Into law by the \! ministration at Washington In excluding this country, as The Tribune bas from th< urged that it should do. two of the partic pants in the abominable Phoenix Park assassination. it is not easy to n re impudent de mand than that of these two mlscreanl admission to this country. They did not come hither for asylum from persecution, foi I were as free in the Old Country aa I re. They did not come for hoi new scenes and away from anbapj tions, for they explicitly declared that I ■ ■ stay here would not be long. They came simply and solely to exhibit and exploit and thus j.'»'t from tho American peo] le all the money they could <>n th fth of ttvir transitory notoriety. Whether they would have lectured or been shown in dime museui pone upon the vaudeville stage does not J^ut they made no Becret of the fact thai were lien' for money and nothing else.

The world, :is well :is the sun, "do move" In the matter of signboards us.-d for advertising purposes. We have hitherto called attention to the excellent praeth f various European coun tries in Imposing ;i tax upon such things. That practice is commendable from every equitable point of view. The posters, painted hoardings and similar objects are property, and ;is such ;m- taxable; and they nlso are the tangible manifestation of :i considerable business which may well be deemed the tit objed of a license tax. Since the cabman and the huckster and the pedler and all who thus use the public thoroughfares as grounds on which to seek or to solicit custom a:"<- required to pay a tax, there is only common justice in Imposing the same condition upon those who In the same places advertise that is, solicit custom for theatres, drygoods shops, shoe factories or patent mcdl c-liK-s. If ji streetcar line pays ;i royalty on its passenger receipts for the use of th<- public highway for private gain it may well :ilsii be iii.'nli to pay a royalty on the proceeds of its advertising business. Xor are advertising signs to 1>" deemed exempt from taxation when they .•ire displayed not on the highway, but on pri vate property, in fields by th<- wayside or on barns and dead walls. There, too, they repre sent :i profitable business, and there is no reason why that business should escape its share of taxation. A. not her Btep h.-:s now been taken in London. We recently told thai French railroad companies bad voluntarily, from a sense of national pride, renjpved the huge signboards thai disfigured the landscape along their lines, in order thai the myriads of visitors in this "Exposition Year' might not bave their Bight offended thereby and might not be prevented from beholding the beauties of French scenery by announcements of soups and pilis. The London County Council has taken a leaf out of the French book and made it not voluntary bui compulsory to re move offending signs. An ordinance just en acted empowers the municipal officers to remove all signboards extended over the street or side walk, and all Illuminated signs on the fronts of buildings that are offensive to public taste i.r thai are likely to cause damage by frightening horses. The enforcement of thai ordinance will effect a marked reform In tho appearance of London streets, nj- night and b}- day, for hlth i erto the sign mania has proceeded almost as far 'as it has here. The streets have often been made hideous, bewildering and oven dangerous to travellers by huge flashing, blazing, dazzling signs. It is only common sense and justice that these shall be dealt with as public nuisances, as I they now will be. One of these days, it is to be hoped, this ! country and this city will institute similar re ; forms. Nowhere in the world, probably, is the ! signboard business so largely practised as here. j Nowhere is public property so unblushingly ap '■■ propriated for uses of private gain. Nowhere, ! wo may confidently believe, are advertising sign | boards, posters and the like made so offensive to public taste, and in many cases so inimical to public rorufort, convenience and even safety. j It is a reproach to civic culture and public spirit ; that such disfigurements of what should be our ! finest scenery should be permitted to proceed | with a free hand. It Is a reflection upon our : thrift and administrative shrewdness that so : large and so proper an object of revenue tax j ation should be neglected. The abolition of all offensive, injurious and dangerous signs, and the taxation of all that are permitted to re j main, would be measures not only conducive to J urban and rural beauty, but also accordant with | administrative thrift, with sound business prin | pics and with common justice. Tti the doath of Count Muravieff th.* Russian Emperor loses the man who was commonly re garded as his must important and valuable counsellor, at the very time when he has most pressing need of him. The crisis In China Is also .1 crisis in Russian affairs, anrl a strong and ex perienced Minister is needed In the Foreign Of fice. Count Muravieff was that kind of man. He was by birth and ancestry an Ideal repre sentative of the ancient aristocracy of Russia, of that race of savage chieftains that flourished In barbaric power and splendor (■••fore the Ro manoffs were heard of In spirit, too, he was the perfect embodiment of the "Russian sys tem." He had nil the severity of his father, who crushed Poland so ruthlessly, and yet so much tact and policy that he wns able to pose as the chief promoter of the Peace Congress at Th" Hague. Above all men of his day. per haps, he kept in mind the long established prin that Russian victories arc diplomatic, not military, and above all he practised thru type of diplomacy which has given to Russia so many victories.

MR. PECK TOO LATE. PRESIDENT LOUBETS OFFICIAL VISIT TO THE AMERICAN PAVILION. [Copyright; 100.1: Fv Th- mm-Tm% Tr.bune.] In CAr.r.E T'< THr: TI!!T!l < Paris. June President Loubet. accoro. panied by M. Mlllerand, Minister of Commerce* ar.d Bf. Picard. Cnmmlssary-Oenera] of the Ex' position, mad-- his oajctal visit this morning to the United States National Pavilion. The tlm appointed for the visit was D:3O o'clock, It wa^ exactly 9:30 o'clock by the Paris Railway Sta tion time, accorrlinsr to which Parisian watches ar- usually set. but which ia five minutes la advance of the time indicated by the clocks in the interior of the stations, according to which trains start, that the Presidential party ap par.-«-i at the threshold of the American Xa tional Building. The President was received by Ambassador Porter. Commissioner-General Peck was not present. General Porter walked beside President Loubet, who seemed pleased v.ith the plaster statue by Borghum represent ing a stampede of three American broncos" which has recently been placed in the centra of the larg octagonal hall of the Pavilion. The President also noted the plaster busts of Lin coln. Grant, Cleveland and McKinley. He looked ar the portrait of McKinley by Peixotto. and he Klancerj at a portrait of a Sfcnn chleftala a portrait of Prince Ching. "Uncle of the Emperor of China," and one of a Llama (high priest). Th'-re are also some stray canvases by Harri s.>n. Vail. Howland. Newman and other Amer ican painters, but all bally hung. The United States postoffice box was duly Inspected, and also the registers where the Americans write th'ir names and addresses. The President looked Up at the pasteboard shields hung on the three tiers of balconli representing Staam of th-» Union. Ambassador Porter then took the President to see the elevator, which, however, did not happen to be in working order. Genera] Porter looked at President Loubet, wl looked at Minister Millerand, who m turn glanced at sphlnxllke Picard. All smiled, and the Presidential party, after cordially shaking hands with the United States Ambassador, walked off to visit other National pavilions. The Presidential visit at the American Building did not last more than five minutes, the reason being, unfortunately, that there wi nothing of particular interest to see there. Just as sldeni Loubet left the buildii Commissioner-General Peck arrived to welco the President. Ambassador Porter re marked: "The President has gone." Mr. Peck replied: ''I am sorry the President came ahead of time," and looked at his watch, which marked 9:30 o'clock, which was correct according to railway schedule time, but five minur later than th» time indicated on the pneumatic stre t clocks and the clocks on the exterior of th>> railway stations. This ts the sixty-seventh day since the Expo. sition opened, and patriotic Americans have so far refrained from caustic criticism of their National Pavilion In hopes that something would be placed in ir to put II on an even foot ing with other countries, bur after to-day'a Presidential visit it is impossible to conceal the fact that in the opinion of ninety-nine out of a hundred Americans who have seen it the United States National Pavilion, as far as its contents are concerned, is unworthy of our coun try and causes unpleasant impressions when enmp. with the German Pavilion, with its art collection of Frederick the Great: with the British Pavilion, containing canvases by Van Dyke, Reynolds. Gainsborough and Burne- Jones; with the pavilions of Italy. Spain, Russia, Hungary, Austria an Bosnia, admirably dis playing their respective native Industries. The American Pavilion is not only far inferior to th<» national pavilions of first class countries, but discreditable even when compared to the pa vilion of microscopic States like Monaco or the Republic of San Marino. Under the American Pavilion is a third class "American" restau rant, with French waiters and a soda water f.uinrain, but where one cannot obtain American wines nor porterhouse steaks nor terrapin nor bucln eat cakes.

London, June 21.— Abbas Hilml. the Kbt&tm .-■. -■ E(7pt, arrived in English waters to-day on his first official visit to this country.

Anthorulo Pacha, and a nurr. of other distinguished pers aaa, with a guard of honor. assembled at the Charing Cross Station to wel come the Khedive, but they received the infor mation, after ■ tiresome wait, that His High ness was suffering from sickness, and would in consequence postpone his departure from Port Victoria for London. Tha welcoming partj therefore dispersed and shortly afterward, ia response to a telegram, a London specialist left this rity on a special train in order to attend thj Khedive. The Khedive, later, was said to have been suffering for two days previous to his urtur* from Flushing from symptoms of diphtheria, which increased dviii the voyage. The attending physicians, after a consultation on board the royal yacht to-nignt, determined to wall until Saturc i before deciding on ths question of his removal to London.
