Tin? p)es ??f Mexican revolutionists f??r relaxation
.?i our neutrality tews la lngenlooa ?imi novel, but
it aavgn (<*u much <>f brigandtab Mach mail to be
persuasive. Through thglr ructions and maraudings
they have put American?, Into Jeopgidy. "Now sell
?i.*? non arms and aiutnunition. so that WC **#? keep
??ii lighting," they say, "or WS caiin??t assure the
safety of your people whom we ourselves {ulVe im

the juflh'i?ii.?. iniud.
Far better is the President's plan to st??p shil>
menta of munitions t<? the Huerta government as
well as tu the insurgents. There is perhaps no
belter established principle than that laid down by
.leff-rsoti, Hamilton and Kent, ?that Americana are
free M sell arms to ?ill belligerents impartially. Hut
this pro-Ki.ed embargo would not violate it. The
principle in question applies only, of roursc, t<?
recognhttd ?belligerents, <>ur government hgvlsg al?
ways, at great coat? prohibited and prevented such
traffic with mere filibuster-, marauders and un
rtirognlMal rebels. But thla country does n??t recog?
nise Huerta, and therefore he can have no better
claim to the ri^ht to get supplies here than the In?
surgents.
Both aides, or all sides, in these unhappy ruction!
have been guilty of marauding and murder. None
of them ha?, been rccogniaed as a legal belligerent
or a sovereign government, it would therefore be
logical and consistent to withhold maniUoaa of war
'?"m thrm all.
I
Lamar's Indictment.
ff Laniar. who is now under indictment, escapes
conviction it wil! be only ou a technicality. The
statute forbids impersonating a federal govern -
?iient ot?cer. und previous rulings as to whether a
Congreaaman is a federal aAcer or not have been
conflicting. Hut District Attorney Marshall helieves
'hat he has authority for contending that within the
gunning *i this cruninai statute u Congressman is ?
f??dera! orticer.
The puMi?' will hope that he is right and that the
Uiw has n??t by I mere inadvertence failed to make
? ?rime of a?*t_ like Lamar's. Lamar's fraud tended
if MMeanafa] t?. discredit the government Congwed
hag sins enoti.'h to answer f?>r without those that
?night be fathered upon it by lOgUM and Impostors
'ike Lamar.
T-amar in jail would be a wholesome spectacle.
Getting a Good Start.
Like maater, like mau. With au astuteness which
can be cred* led to only one great Intellect bere
abouts the Guvnor Fusion and Nominating League
has put to rout the executive committal of the t'iti?
/.ens' Municipal Committee and its demand that
Mayor QajnoS ??ledce himself to refuse a Tainmany
nomination by provins that there is no auch thlug a?
"a Tammany nomination*' f<?r Mayor.
Tammany, say the leaguers, is "unly a nickname. '
gad the organization which keeps the lire of libgrtf
burning on ils humble hearthston?* in Last 14th
?.treet, whatever its inc??rporate?i title may be, is
??nly a parochial association operating in a minor
fraction of th?? ?ity's urea. Viewed from Prospect
Park. I'ar Rockaway, the highland! of The Bronx
or the St. George ferry lauding, Tammany Hall isn't
even a ~pr**-k ou tbe lead?.ape, and the league an?!
Hs -***d*<^d?gte couldn't ???4 it at least between now
and i?lecU??u I ?ay without a guide,
Up is Albany the two branches of the Legislature
tremble at tbe name of Murphy. But the league
and Us candidate wouldn't know Murphy from
Mil-vel! If they Kaw them dining together at Pel
monbo'i.. The league's Idea of a city convention
to nominate a Mayor seems to be a Ixxly domi?
nated be John H. MeOnoey, Eugene Lamb Richards,
ex-Borough President Casv.ly atvl Kugene H. M'*
Gulre.
A league which can eliminate Tammany from
? ?uisideration in city affairs as "a mere nickname"
will do miracles when it {rets to work later on the
legend that Heruiati Kosenthal was niurdere.l lust
year hu?1 other unpleasant incidents occnrred later
suggesting the preseuce t? a fjtm ??-rafters on the
police force. If "there ain't no Tammany Hall," s<>
(ar as municipal elections are concerned, then the
present jMillce f??rce Is the noblest boily of idealists
that ever operated under the Golden Rule. There
may be room for Improvement in police administra?
tion In Paris, as Commissioner Waldo sagely re?
marks, but there Is no room here
The league has made a glorious beginning. It
will do even better when Waldo is ailded to It? Boy
Sr-out Staff.
Spoilsmanship at Its Worst.
In filling the post of Minister to the Dominican
Republic th? State Department has again shown it*?
'?ontempt for the principle of recoguitloa and pro?
motion for merit in the diplomatic service. The
rcsicnatiou of Minister William W. Russell, which
i ustora rripiired him to offer as I matter of for?
mality ?>n the incoming of a new administration,
has been accepted and the place given to a lawyer
of tills city, James M. Sullivan, known here chiefly
at? the counsel for "Bald Jack" Rose.
Mr. Russell was one of the numerous ministers
m ho hud riseu l?y dint of good work from the foot
"f the service. He began eighteen years ago, re
?eiving his first appoiiftment from President .'leve
land, and has been occupied ever since in I.a.lu
Amerhan countries, with whose affairs tog is ex?
ceptionally familiar. Such meu ought to be kept in
the government's employment |f long as they con?
tinue lit and active, and It Is only emphasizing
afresh the folly of the administration's surrender
tg the s*?oi!s theory to get rid of a highly trained
und competent diplomat like Mr. Russell in order
to bestow his place on an outsider utterly inex?
perienced In diplomati?' affairs, who will nave to
nursue on apprenticeship In the grade of minister
which ought t?> have been pursued In a se?retary
sliip of legation or embassy.
In Its treatment of the young in*-n who have been
making a real career of diplomacy the admlnistra
t!??n baa fallen to the level of spollsmanship ?it its
worst.

struck because the view from their workroom
windows was cut *>ff resiirre<'t??d an interesting
qtiestiou. Which is the batter place to work a hole
in the ground, without sight or sound t?> distract, <?r
a front seat on Mount raniussus.
?>iis favorite view would have it that the answer
?lepends *.ii the kind of work. ?Soft, luscious land?
scapes are held to be the very Ihing for poets ami
?painted and novelists. Hut for plain, bard working
lawyers and newsimper men ami shoemakers stern
walls and a dull OtlUooh are the best.
Perhaps this is true. Vet the ex?epli??ns in the
? ?ax- of th?' artistic tjpe of workers are frequent.

Probably the truth is that scenery has very little
to do with good work of any description?for or
against Th*- lazy man win be lazy anywhere and
th?- worker will hardly be turned aside by an o],.-n

Downward Revision Discounted.
The collapse of debate in the Senate on the tariff
bill Is not hard to understuml. Kven the prosiest
statesmen seldom care t<? go on discussing u situa?
tion which has been closed and Its efTeets ?lis'oiinted
by everybody else.
The country has made up its tiiiml that the Un?
derwood-Wilson tariff bill will go on the statute
book. The voters for Home years past have wanted
to make an experiment with down u ?ml tariff re
vis Ion. A Republican Congress had a chance in
11)0!) to do the work, but its leaders-espet tally those
in the Senate?were not wide awake enough to make
us?' <.f thflr *?pi?ortuuities. The country then tinned
t?? the Deiimcratic party and authorized it t?. go
iihead. The pending bill may be injurions lu some
respects (every tariff bill must iiijurt? goma in
terestsi. but the voters are reconciled to It and gyg
willintr t?i take its risks. The elections t?( mi r?
?eut vacan* ies In the House of Representatives have
failed to Ind?cate any popular hostility to the work
of the I>?'iuocrat8.
I'nder the circumstances, dilatory opposition in
the Senate would be a great mistake. The oppon?
ents ?.f the measure should make their r.'.urd by
offering uumndiii.-iits and letting them com*' prompt

New York's Share of Commerce.
New York may regard cheerfully tin* statement
that in tbe last year this port handled alunit '27? per
cent of the whole country's exports of brea?l.stuffs,
meats, oils, etc., since those are cominodlil_'s which
do not dlre-ctly pertain to this city or its environs,
but which c?une hither chiefly from remote regions.
This p??rt*s share of other ?lusses of export? is
much larger, so that its proportion of all is more
than .'?7 jier cent, while its share of all rxfiorts from
Atlantic Coast ports is about t?o per cent. Its slmre
of Imports Is much larger, amounting p. about ft)
per cent of the whole country's and W l>er cent of
tbose tit all Atlantic ports.
The growth of other ports, particularly on the
Pu.iti.* Coast, has naturally ?ffectad titoW York's
proportion Of the nation's commerce, but It has not
even bCfUfl to ?hall-mge Ulis city's in?-oinparable
? supremacy. What effect the opening ?>f the Panama
I Canal will have upon commercial routes is yet to

Sir. Judging from the present actvlty

Never have I sen so much Influence

ing .rytiiiiig contrary le the psopM's
?lslns, but nothing tli.it I ?.in remember
????Hals the Inllii.-n? ?? ;it work on the fusion
committee.
Mr. Whitman Is beyond a ?ioubt. un
i|iiH.sti.,nal.ly, Irrefutably, tht ?lioiee of the
najorlty <>f lbs people sf this city, ?and if
lbs fusion fores an. really bent upon
Cam lag ?OUI IbS VtahSfl Of the people their
present frame of BBlad reflects t?a.l lu.!?*;
pent upon them
AgalQ '?.ni Judgment is evidenced by the
enemies of Mr? Whitman hy ssleetlag aa
his "pp.in? nt for tin- nomination of Mayor
that nie.liii-viil (heed Mr. McAneiiy.
Mi McAneiiv'H only ?tn-iiKth lien In the

f. ne of his liidorultiible will and bis un

wrongs that tend to undermine the very
foundation Of a representative govern?

This Is surely an age of nerve If there
ure any s?> bold us to compare Mr. Mc

honesty.
I de not entertain any dOUbt that Mr

Sir. Diplomats '?n the "tiier tide of ths

l?et us see how tho present adminis?

When Mr Wilson was Inaugurate?! Into

In th?' b.unis ..f it dictator who had
usurpe.1 ths ;."\v.r True, he h.ui i:s.-ti b) I
a coup ?l'?tat that Is frowned upon by in?

Insurrection in Mexico only pr?paration

there was cone? nti Stod at this place a
fores ?'f I-'.'!??) Arn.-rl.an troop.s, si-nt here
for what puipOM the l-ord only knows
I?*-t us se. how th?? piobliiin worked out
Mr. Wilson refused to sohnonlodga
Huerta a? the head Of the M?_w.in gov
ernment, and this filled "tho outs," or
profe.ahu.al revolutionists, of thut coun?
try with delight He also penults ',:.??'
troops to remain erouc!'e?l near i'alvt-s
ti.n. an.I that ondows them with OOOll
danos, in a word, revolution an.i brig?
nndags have Inoreeaed day bj ?Jay la Mex?
ico sines the Installation sf the present
inliiilnistiation, and the open hostility of
Washington to Huerta ami the presence
of troops here are the cause of It.
It ought no! to require nup.rlor Intellect
to linderst.uni Why the various revopi
ttoaery bands of Meatos sssrotly Invite
Intervention by this or any other ?iiuii
try. Intervention means tbe dethrone?
ment of the Huerta r?gime and the ele?
vation of the "outs" to power. In the
establishment of gov? minent there we
wiiuid put fellows ut erbe have long
reconnoitred but never reached tho pie
counter. It would be the Qld gUUBtlOU Of
ttie early da> | In the PhUlppllMS over
again?only on a grand and ?'?implicate?!
scale.
To a soldier who has had some experi?
ence in the establishment of government
among people of tin? Mexican kidney, it
looks to me as if Mr. Wilson should have
st ??nee recognised Huerta and then said
to him: "You are In ortlce by methods
repugnant to this country and the civil?
ized world, yet you .ire the only thing
that represents government In your coun?
try. You must call an election now,
while there Is comparative tranquillity,
and elect an administr.itlon, or tin. United
States will come down there? and do It
for >??u " Had that policy been pursued
ther? ???ould have been un election In
lllesl " beton but ? - ted had had
time to prop.' ? : ? v bebtet
