Advancing Good City Government.
on.- great gain from tha election of Mr. Mitchel
gg Mayor will be the continuance of all tlmt WM
gOOd in the preeeot ?ity adininistration. Tlu* Mnyoi
alad made thal plain nt the Mefehanta' Aaeoclatlon
dlnner Batordaj* night, arhea be said that he wouid
retaln all beada of departmenta who had aerred the
? ity faitlifully.
The beat thlng thal Mnyor Gaynor dM waa to rtu
tha various .oiiiinissionerships witii little rep.'inl tO
polltlca and to niaka ttm efaangee la bia staff during
hi> miniinistiatioii. a ttm of his appotnteee had
aerred under Mayor Md'lellan and hara now had
noarly alfht years' oxperienee ln thoir departments.
Thej, with some of thoir associatcs. BN pra< tioally
t*peeiaiists lu their branches of city gurernment
And that is what the city needs. It bag been b*
cause Aineriean cities have had no expert s that
munioipal government here hns lagped so far be?
hind iininicip.'ii gOTernmant abroad, arhare dty ed*
ininistration is a profossion and tonure of ofllce is
praetically for life.
Mayor < ;.-iyni?r's treatment of this problem araa ?
dtotlnct advance upon the work of bia predecenaorB,
al loast npoa the worf of his Democratic predecea
aara, Mayor IfttcheT- porpoee, aa announced. is to
earry still further forward tho art of munioipal
gorernment In this dty.
It means a jrreat doal for Now York that a fttafton
?dmlnlatratlon ls at laat to ho gucceeded hy another
fusion ndmiulstration. All tho propress that has
heen made townr.l hottor government bare h:is re*
sultod from tho work of anti-Tammany administra
tions. The elevation of public itandarda of decent
city government due to tho administrations of
May.rs Strong and Low and Mayor Gaynor and his
fusion aaaodataa on tho Board of Battanata and ap
j.ortlonnH'iit has been remarkablo. Tammany if re?
turned to power could never po back to tho spirit
of Van Wyek and his kind. But at no tlme before
the present has the anti-Tammany movement had an
opportunity tO make its doepost impression. This
tlme there will bo elghl years of contlnuoiis ofTort
for pood gorernment The present administration
eiiters oAce thorouphly famillar with tho clty's busi
noss and its probloins. In four years more lt
should bo able to work such a change In popular
ldeals of elty administration that a return to Tam?
many will ho impossible.
Dismissed Policemen Must Stay Dismissed.
The rofusal of tho Appcllato Dlvision of the
?Supreme Court tO order the reinstatonioiit Of ex
Inapector Bayea and of the oft-dlamleaed Patrol
man Hyland will be hallad with roliof by all who
hope to aaa aa affacttre police organhmtlon bullt
up in thla 'ily. Hayos deserved the dlsinissal he
eourted*. not only for insubordinatlon, but for lax
police work. Hyland. whose plicht was made into
a tost ofise. was one of a number of mon dis
uiissed by Commissioner Cropsey for nffonces
raupinp from conduct nnbecomlng an ofiicer to
possession of a criminal record ond nnsstatoments
ln applications fbf examination. His reinstatement
by Waldo was held by the Corporation Counsel
to have been improper, so he was thrown out apain.
One of tho chlef troublos with tho PoUce De?
partment has been the refusal of policemen to
Btay distnisM-d. It has seemed at times as if the
courta had gooa out of thoir way to reinstate dis?
missed poUeaaaw on technleatltlaa. Thej havo
apparently taken the view that a mombership in
the force. once hold. boeame a vostod right, to be
ovorthrown only at the poril of all the institutions
of the Kepuhlic Naturally discipline has siiffen-d,
and the city has suffered iu eonsequenoe. The
Appellate Divisiou's action In these caaaa should
have a arboleaome effect.
To Raise a Record Sum in Record Time.
The campaipn to raiso $4,000,000 for the Younp
Women's Christian Association and the Younp
Men's Christian Association in thls city has orpani
zation and it has power behind it. Its methods will
I,.- as thoroiiph as they will bo improssive. The suni
to be raised is enonaotM and the time in which lt is
to be rnisod is short. but just because the sum is
onornious and thi tlme is short the campaipn is
likeiy tO b? successful. There is a preat advertisitip
value ln euma ln sovon figures.
But tbe campalgn will be a success f?>r othor rea
sons besides its strikinp and effeetlve methods. Its
cause ls one of the best. There are no institutions
|0 which the public will pive more wlllihply thnn to
the Young Women's and Younp Men's Christian as
soeiations. The |4,000/KM neadad to eejnlp them
for thoir preat work here will be fortlnominp in
rocord tlme Of we misjudge New York.
Getting Ready for Panama.
Onal liritain tuny or may not offlcially participate
in tbe Panama raciiic Exposition, though we rather
expe<-t that she will, and it is quite certain that hor
uijofti.ia! roprosentation there will l>e very larpe.
But there is no donbt in tiie world of her purpose to
take an oasily parann.unt part in the commonial
patronage of tho isthmian canal as >nx>u as it I
eompleted and opened to tratfh*. Throughout the
entire shlppinp industry of the United Klupdom the
chief activity is exerted ln the dlrectiou of prepar
ing for Panama.
Tbat is as it should be. Kor while the effect of
the canal upon roniinoTce and trade inutes ia still
matter for spoculation, there is every roason to ex
pect it to be enormous. The cousisteut judgment of
the world for four centuries has been that tho opa_r
ing of such a waterway wlll largely revolutloiilzo
commerce, and the enncrete exainplos of the Suez
and otber cauala convlnclngly suggeat tbat tho re
suits are more likoly to BXCeed than to fall short ol
the estimates.
Tha. thi* view is widely takon is Men in the fact
that neurly all otlier inaritlme nations are purauins
the same COOm of preparation that Great P.ritaiu

Japan. in Asia. gnd Chill and Pwrn, hi Bont" Araer

efforta to further ihe bealtb and _at**f*toaaa of its
jteople as reckless extravapanre. Kortunately,
such spirils are in the minority, and most i.ple
will be glad to back up Mr. McAmmy in his efforts
to have the city take the lead in social service,
rather than follow behind private enteiprises ol
this nature.
The city's tield at preaenl is not limited)? Its
si>4-ial c4Mitres in schoolhoiise. . its rein-ation i^nln's
and playpmunds and frymiiasiiims, its parks, \tt
milk .tatlons and elinlcs and ontdOOT ald bureaiis,
its bureau of hjM.ieni' for Bcbool children, all do
splendid work which should be extended. This
work costs money. and it is ipiite true that none
of it produeea an Htneome for the ?ity"?ln money.
Yet preventlve work rif this nature. Mncing tbe
number of cases in the almshoiises nnd hos|iitnls,
and penitentiaries and l^fOTUUtotiea, saves the
etty annually hundreds of thoiisands of doUara.
