1 Mr. Low nml tlio Nomination Tor
If Mayor.
'r I s Mr. Set Low's letter announcing Ills
'W ' willingness to bo n cantlldnto for Mayor,
.Ife r but saying that he Is not "warranted
'J In accepting tho nomination of tho Citizens'
:7 ' Union at tlio present time." simply gives
p n formal expression to sentiments which ob-
ri vlously liavo been entertained by him for
j, ome time past. Of course, Mr. Low would
ii i not have allowed his candidacy to bo ells-
(V liL cussedsoKenerallyandsoscrlouslyunlcRsho
P Bt was prepared to make tho run for tho office,
ij m-' provided thattho' united opposition to tho
li '' Uryanlzod Tammany Hall should ask for
If Vm n's lcaderBDlP- OthcrwIno ho would havo
j'ft f stopped tho talk about his candidacy long
m p ago, by making known his unwillingness
to take such anamination.
j8 I Mr.Lowbclngthusascrlouscandldatofor
. I ' Mayor of New York, ho naturally requires
:, that tho nomination shall como to him
I I j . . with a political backing which will glvo it
, nerlous consequence. Ho wants to beat
, Tammany Hall, not to assist In putting
i I ' New York under tho control of tho revolu-
f I tlonary Democracy of the Chicago platform,
t ; and, hence, he docs not want the nomination
S-- unless there Is to be a union of nil tho con-
Bervatlvo forces of this great community,
t giviug promise of his election.
In other words, Mr. Low, likoeveryother
f sensible man, knows that his candidacy
! will amount to nothing, except as a con-
r tempt ililo diversion In tho interest of
! Bryanlim, if ho docs not obtain the iionil-
j p cation and tho support of tho ltepub-
jj llcan party and Its organization. That
party must lie the cngtno with which tho
( Brynulzed Tammany Is smashed, If smashed
B I It is to be. "Without tho earnest and
g' f- vigorous assistance of the Republican
S j party no candidnto for Mayor of New
j ?' York can possibly be elected against
si' the revolutionary Democracy. Thero is no
it 4 more possibility of beating Tammany next
I I November except through tho agency of tho
fI Republican party than there was of beating
1 K Bryan lost November without voting for
I if McKini.ky, the Republican candidate.
I jl t Everyliody, every politician, regular or ama-
i S ? tcur, knows that, and no one better than
III Mr. Low himself, a cool-headed and
i i sagacious man of much political experience.
B His letter, therefore, is a warning to tho
j t, wild young fellows and the spiteful politi-
I 5 l elans of tho Citizens' Union that, if they
$ I ? want him as a candidate, they must stand
lis aside ond subordinate themselves to the
? jl r- sensiblomcninthemovementwhoaroreally
I J- bent on defeating Tammany Hall. When I
j B' the Good Government Club contingent con-
Ij e ccived the purpose of entering Into politics,
. i and more especially at the initiation of this
m ? Citizens' Union enterprise, they declared
J I f their intention of going Into the campaign
l M Independently of all other political organ-
: 1 lzattons, and disdainful of them, not
; If rxpecting to succeed at tho election,
Jg ' but expecting, rather, to be beaten. They
I 8, simply wanted to make a demonstration,
J ff and because, so far as it went, it would
i help Tammany Hall, they were not to be
ft dissuaded from their vain purpose. If the
j 1 j people of New York do not want us, they
: f f said in their bravado, let them havo Tam-
j J I many. They did not bear in mind, how
IE f ever, that no man who values his
jb 1 f reputation, or who is fit for serious con
Ij j r sideration by tho people as a candi
Ij Wt date for Mayor, would allow himself
Ij to be made a tool of for the licneflt of tho
Ji. ijt revolutionary Democracy. Least of all can
III' Mr. Seth Low, the President of Columbia
I S University, the seat of New York's highest
I enlightenment, afford to lead a political
jl a fc diversion In the obvious interest of Tnm
fj many Hall. If he should engage in such
J B. ' an enterprise, especially at this time of
jjj -5; dangerous political manifestations, he
N ; would sacrifice his good name and bring
I a' the university of which he is the head into
:. I J lasting disrepute.
' I Mr. Low tells the Executive Committee
I h of the Citizens' Union that ho "must have
'i much more evidence than he now has of
'f $ the popular desire, to mako it seem to him
a public duty to become a candidate." That
; fi' means that, as a sensible man, ho docs not
h regard the desire of a small lxidy of self-
t f appointed citizens as representative of tho
J tt popular desire. Of course, they can noiul-
nato him. Anylxxly can nominate him. He
j can nominato himself. But In order that
! k the nomination shall express the measuro
I of populur desire, which Mr. Low seekH as
a& a justification for the candidacy of a self-
jj g' respecting and conscientious man, he wants
I K substantial proof. Such proof can only be
f 5 f obtained from a regular political organiza-
; 8 tlon representative of ono or the other of
J ;, the great parties. In New York there are
', j (' only two such organizations -tho Kepubli-
' ;' can and the Titmmany Hull. At this tlmo
' ' of political disturbance Tammany repre-
K ! scnts tho Democracy of the Chicago plat-
EB:- form; the Republican organization repre-
Wm f scnts tho whole opposition to that revolu-
j'v tlonary platform, vthcthcr Republican or
.jHi Democratic. Tho ojiponents of Bryanlsm
'K must gather around the Republican stand-
m' urd for the time being, following It next
.Hi Novcmlicr as they followed It last Novem-
Bf ber. They can do nothing else unless they
W$ am prepared to lie down to let the hordes
Wfo, of the Hryanlred Tummany march over
(w them Into tho control of this foremost
.! centre of American civilization.
;lh Mr, Low, obviously, cannot tako n Tarn-
Ij' many uomluiitlou; hence, in order that his
1(1 candidacy muy be serious and not merely a
jl diversion In the Interrst of Tammany, ho
W must get the uoiuinatiou of the Republican
JT Convention. That Convention Iuih not yet
been colled; but It Is not likely to bo held
ffl before tho latter putt of August or during
J, September. Accordingly, Mr. Low cannot
consider seriously any nomination at tho
H present time. The rush young fellows of
HI, the Citizens' Union, however, cry out that,
fwf ly making his nomination now or very
f Hx- soon, that IrrcHponslblo and unrcprcsenta-
IHf ' tho and self-uppointed bodycau "force" Mr.
H, Low's candidacy on tho Republican Con-
t vent lou. But Mr, Low docs not want to
Hi lie forced on anybody. Ho will not accept
Hf the nomination unless Itconies to him will.
Ml Ingly, and unless he is assured of something
I moro than the apjiroval of tho Citizens'
IT Union only. That Is, ho must lie assured of
1; tho nomination of the Republican party,
!1 about which ai-e to 1k gathered all tho ele-
Iw' ments of opposition to the Bryanlzed Tarn-
IjN many. As a gentleman, be will refuse to
lend himself to an attempt to forco htm on
that Convention, and lie knows, too, that
such an effort ut bulldozing would lie likely
to defeat Itself and lcavo tho candldato in
a pitiful situation.
If tho commlttco of volunteers called the
Citizens' Union, really desiro to further tho
candidacy of Mr. Seth Low as Mayor of
Now York, they will decently and cour
teously use their inltuence In his behalf
with tho Republican Convention of next
August or next September. It both that
iKMly and Mr. Low oro convinced that there
Is a "popular desiro" for his candidacy,
there is no doubt that ho will get tho nomi
nation and will accept It. No other way Is
consistent with tho dignity of Mr. Low or
properly regardful of tho extreme gravity of
the political situation.
A Phenomenon Explained.
A curious but not unprecedented thing
has been observed in Now York city poli
tics of late. Thopublto meetings held In
Tammany Hall, long tho rallying point of
the local Democracy, havo been poorly at
tended. Instead of a large, enthusiastic,
and hearty crowd, ovcrllowlug tho historic
meeting places of tho Tammany men, en
couraging with plaudits tho favorite ora
tors of that organization, and cordially
enlisted In Its battles for political su
premacy, there has been, of late, only a
meagre, unresponsive, apathetic, and Joy
less assemblage, restless, Impatient, and
totally lacking In vigor and confidence.
This was particularly notlceablo at the last
monthly meet lng of tho Tammany Hall Gen
eral Committee, on Friday night last.
Tammany Hall Is a great political organ
ization. Itsdlsclpllna Is excellent, Its di
vision of party labors and responsibili
ties equitable and Judicious, Its cohesion
greater than that of any other political
organization which now exists, or has
ovur existed, In Now York; yet never yet,
since 1871), has there been such lethargy,
Indifference and discontent, not to say open
Insubordination, as Is now tho case.
"What Is tho reason of this? To what
should It lie ascribed? The approach of nu
Important political election, tho first under
tho now charter of tho Greater Now York,
might reasonably bo expected to havo a
stimulating effect upon tho political ac
tivity of tho braves of tho wigwam. Yet
many of them sulk and many moro remain
nway from tho camp fire, indifferent, ap
parently, to what happens.
For this peculiar and unusual condition
various reasons are assigned. Somo
persons say that by committing itself
to tho sunDort of Bryanlsm. Tammany
parted company with Its most substantial
and respousiblo supporters, men of brains
and substance, mon who guided tho organ
ization along tho lines of prudent pol
icy in tho post, and were the link of
connection between tho political organ
ization of Tammany and tho conserv
ative forces which, on tho Democratic
side, at least, have usually been arrayed
on the side of Tammany in opposition
to pernicious and sinister policies of
riot, repudiation, and lawlessness. Others
claim that tho newcomers into tho Tam
many fold, the Populists, tho anti-monopoly
shoutcrs, the industrial, though not indus
trious, malcontents, the enemies of order
and tho foes of American Democracy, who
have forced their way Into the front seats
of the wigwam, havo brought with them no
followers, and ore, in fact, not recruits but
disturbers, costing Tammany more In votes
and Influence than any benefit which they
could bring to it. Both reasons are plausible,
but perhaps neither one is quito correct.
Despite the defection of the veritable Dem
ocrats, Tammany polled last year in this
city 135,000 votes, and tho harm done to
it by the obstreperous newcomers was done
In November last.
The real reason of the lukewarmncss and
indifference of the rank and file of Tam
many, tho abstention of bo many members
from Its meetings, the lack of enthusiasm,
confidence and heartiness shown at these,
is due solely to the fact that the men who
arc accustomed to follow are disheartened
by the wavering of those nt their bead. Ono
day these " leaders" are for Biiyan nnd tho
Chicago platform ; tbo next day they are for
local issues only and the exclusion of na
tional Issues. One day they are for adjuring
Bryan not to fail to come hero In person to
lead them to victory or defeat, they pro
fess to care not which ; tho next day they
are for admonishing the Chicago nomlneo
kindly to stay away from New York, and
not interfere in matters with which he
has nothing to do.
Whatever else may bo said concerning
Tammany Hall, by thoso who have been its
antagonists In the past, ono thing at least
must 1x3 ungrudgingly admitted: Tam
many's position on all important public
questions has been positive and explicit.
Its leader, when It had only one, and Its
leaders since it has had soveral, stood for
somo definite line of policy, right or wrong,
with courage to sustain It. Tammany has
frequently met defeat In support of a prin
ciple, which the voters rejected; but not un
til this vear has thcro been anv serious
doubt or question as to whether Tam
many Hall was for or against such an as
sortment of radical und Incendiary policies
as arc Included In what Is known as
"tho Chicago platform."
If the organization came out wholly and
frankly In favor of Bryan nnd Bryanlsm,
and no quarter for backsliders or seceders,
its big public hall would, no doubt, be
filled up ngaiu as of yore, with enthusiastic
partisans. If Tammany, by a sublime ex
ercise of supremo political courage, recall
ing Its past traditions as a conservative
forco In the politics of the city, State
and nation, should repudiate, disown, and
disavow the political heresies of Chi
cago, there would bo some withdrawals
from Its membership, perhaps, but scores of
otheis would rally to the support of tho old
wigwam and revive tho spirits of the faith
ful Tammany men. An it Is, however, tho
organization Is stalled. Its leaders glvo no
definite Indication of where thoy are at ;
and tho bewildered followers, many of
them unable to solve tho problem, stay
away from tho meetings, while the band
plays on, and tho first elect Ion In the Greater
New York is less than five months off.
Tlio Three Friends.'
Tho Florida steam tug that was built at
Jacksonville, year before last, for tho pur
poso of towing vessels up the St. John's
River, and has sinco moro than cleared
her cost, it Is said, In trips to Cuba, has
just given one more proof of her expert ness
in steaming through tho meshes of the law.
Judge I.ockk has dismissed one libel for
forfeiture which was based on her alleged
violation of the neutrality statutes. Ho
finds no evidence that, on her trip in May,
181)11, she was aggressively armed within
our limits, or took on arms and ammunition
at Navassa, which Is an American Island,
I although she did touch there. Three other
suits are pending against the Three
Friends, based, wo believe, on trips tnado
last September and December.
Somo months ago tho Thrco Friends was
seized under circumstances that looked
rather black for her, as sho was accused
not only of violating our neutrality laws in
carrying an armed expedition to Cuba, but
of having a gnn mounted on her deck.
Hcnco ltwns urged that her dilemma was
that of being nn offender against our stat
utes or clso a pirate. Judgo Looki; at that
tlmo conducted tho preliminary trial, and
held her to havo been guilty of no violation
of tho laws. The Supremo Court overruled
his decision on tho point that hostilities
existed In Cuba, although no formally rec
ognized state of war.
Now, therefore, onco more tho steamer has
found herself before tho courts, nnd onco
more Bho wins n victory. Tbo Instructions
from Washington to tho District Attorney
bIiow thnt nn appeal Is to bo taken from
Judge Locke's decision.

Tlio Queen Regent of Spain.
Upon the shoulders of Mahia. CnitlSTlNA,
Queen Regent of Spain, thcro rests at this
tlmo a very great responsibility. Sho is
called upon to determine questions of
the utmost Importance to the Spanish
monarchy, affecting tho domestic pol
icy of tho Government, Its foreign pol
icy, tho security of tho Bourbon dynasty,
tho fortunes of tho heir to the throne, and,
perhaps, tho public peace. In Spain, tho
royal authority Is a thing of consequence,
and the Queen Regent has frequently mani
fested her ability In tho exercise of It.
We havo always regarded tho Queen
Regent as a high-minded and conscientious
woman, one who reveres the memory of
her deceased husband, and who Is supremely
desirous of securing tbo enthronement of
hcrson, the youngKing, in whose behalf sho
serves Spain. She Is a woman of much in
telligence, having been thoroughly trained
In tho household of her father, the luto
Karl Ferdinand of Austria, and having
received an education by which sho was
fitted for any duty that she might lie called
upon to perform. She is n woman of largo
experience In politics, and well acquainted
with public affairs, not only in Spain, but
in other countries. During the eleven years
of her regency she has become familiar with
tho arts of government and with tho Span
ish method of applying them. Sho has
used her judgment In tho determination of
many serious questions of State, and has
repeatedly manifested n measure of inde
pendence that was creditable to her intel
lect. She has used her inllucnco success
fully in the Cortes upon occasions when pub
lic affairs of gravity were under debate; but
sho has always recognized the constitu
tional limitations upon her power. She has
had Liberal Ministers nnd Conservative
Ministers, and has made her mind known
in their counsels. Sho has had a sago ad
viser In tho Kmperor of Austria, and has
asked for Instruction from the Pope. All
through her long regency, the political ac
tivity of Maria Christina has been niado
manifest In the Government of Spain.
She Is aware of the dangers of the times.
She knows of the perils that lie in the plots
against tho throne, in the intrigues of the
Carlist pretender, In the machinations of
tho Anarchists, in the devices of tho Re
publicans, in the revolt of the Cubans, and
In the acrimonious contentions of Spanish
politicians. Sho doubtless understands tho
necessity of so guarding her ways as to
avoid tho misfortunes that have overcome
other rulers of Spain In this century.
During the critical period that now ex
ists In Spain, tho Queen Regent has de
meaned herself In n cautious manner.
When the Liberal Deputies in tho Cortes
deserted their places a few days ago, as a
protest against tho assault mado upon ono
of their number by a member of tho
Ministry, sho strove to compose tho dis
pute; and It was she, wo havo licon
led to understand, who suggested tho un
usual expedient that was adopted finally.
Sho has held consultations with the
leaders of both parties ; sho has sought for
the judgment of sundry personages In whom
shu has confidence ; nnd last week she sent
for that thoughtful old statesman. Mar
shal Martinez Campos, In order that
she might ask for his advice. As after
all this sho determined to retain Scflor
Canovas nt the head of tho Ministry,
wo can but supposo that her embar
rassment was so great as to weaken her
judgment and puzzle her will. In truth, If
her choice lay only between Canovas and
Saoahta, nnd If she regarded It as unsafe, to
offer tho Premiership to a competent states
man outsldo of existing parties, it was
as well that sho should keep tho Con
servative leader In power us to offer his
place to his Liberal competitor. Both of
them have been tried in the past, and
neither of them is moro deserving than tho
other, or bettor fitted than tho other, to
steer the ship of Stato through stormy Beas.
The Queen Regent Is In a plight like that of
Hamlet when he uttered that quory con
cerning the "dread of something" which
"makes us rather bear those Ills we have,
than fly to others that wo know not of,"
It Is a solemn period of Spanish his
tory. AVe can but watch tho fortunes of
the Queen Regent and of Spain whllo pass
ing through It.
Tho cause of all tho trouble. Is tho Cuban
revolt. That revolt has shaken the power
of Spain, brought disaster to her army,
shattered her treasury, humiliated her Gov
ernment; and It menaces the throne of roy
alty. In the Queen Regent's sjieech of last
year before the Cortes about, it, sho used
language Indlcativo of the apprehension by
which her mind was then stirred while
speaking of it, language which also proved
that she had no proper understanding
of It. It was manifest that Bhe knew
about It only so much as. she bod
learned from her dissembling Ministers.
No one who read tho words for which
sho bccanio responsible, could think that
she had over heard tho truth about tho
Cuban revolt. Can It bo thnt tho Queen
Regent knows of the savago character of
Wkylkh's rulo In Cuba during tho post
sixteen months, orof tho existing condition
of affairs theref Would sho permit him to
retain bin placo for a day It sho were aware
of his criminal misconduct, or of his cruel
butcheries, or of his dishonored name, or of
his mendacity nnd pusillanimity f Her own
Interests, and thoso of tho boy-King, are
opposed to his retention In office. But tho
official reports from Cuba tell her only of
Weyleu's successes nnd tho triumphs of
tho Spanish nrms In a war waged for Span
ish royalty.
The Queen Regent has so acted at times
as to lead us to bcllevo that bIio Is possessed
of a good deal of the independence that be
longs to the Austrian stock from which
she sprang. If she would but mako this
trait of mind manifest by dismissing tho
unworthy counsellors who surround hor
and deceive her, sho might possibly llvo to
sco hor royal son seated securely on tho
throno of Spain.
Senor Canovas Again Premier.
After many conferences with tho leaders
of the Conservative, Liberal, and Dlssldent
Conscrvatlvo parties tbo Queen Regent of
Spain has requested Seflor Canovas del
Castillo to rcsumo tho office of Prlmo
Minister, and ho has consented to do bo.
Meanwhile, tho Cortes having been pro
rogued, tho Liberals are cut off from re
newing tho Impressive demonstrations by
which thoy startled tho public mind, and
forced tho Premier to bow before the rising
storm of disapproval. We refer, of course,
to tho refusal of the Liberal Deputies to oc
cupy tholr scats In the legislative' chamber,
owing to the assault committed on ono of
their members by tho Duko of TETUAN, ono
of Seflor Canovab'b colleagues.
The Insult, which gave such offenco to the
Liberals and to the country, would have
been redressed fittingly had Scfior Sa
oasta accepted the Queen Regent's invita
tion to form a Cabinet. Tho veteran chief
of the Liberals could not, indeed, havo gov
erned with tho existing Cortes except by
an embarrassing combination with tho
Dissident-Conservatives; but, In accordanco
with precedents, a dissolution of Parlia
ment could havo been substituted for tho
present prorogation, aud, in tho actual
state of public feeling, he would have found
It easy to obtain a largo majority at the
ballot box. Why Is It that neither Seflor
Saoasta nor Marshal Martinez Campos
has been willing to tako a place of responsi
bility at this conjuncture ? Becauso neither
of them considers that the recent Conserva
tive captain of tho ship of Stata has any
business to drop tho helm and shout for a
pilot vthen ho has already driven the vessel
on tho rocks. Let Canovab, thoy practi
cally say, stand by his repeated public as
sertions that ho accepts the whole accounta
bility for tho systematic devastation and
butchery practised by Gen. Weyler, whose
avowed policy It Is to make of Cuba a soli
tude and call It peace. It is, in truth, tho
programmo of Canovas, which is carried
out ferociously In tho central and west
ern departments of tho Island wherever
Weyleu's columns dare to penetrate, a pro
gramme the single aim of which is the anni
hilation of property and life. It is too late
for Weyler's principal to disavow the hell
ish plan which he lias eulogized ; ho has
mixed the cup nnd ho must drain it.
Ono can understand Mr. Lincoln's ob
jection to swapping horses when crossings
stream, hut it is natural that harnessed
horses, swept off their feet by a torrent,
should whinny with desire to Iks cut loose.
Tho yearning evinced last week by Seflor
Canovas to retire to private life Is intelli
gible, if we assume him to have been
wanted by Seflor Dupuy de Lome that tho
hour of reckoning is closo nt hand. From
tho moment that the merchants and bank
ers of New York discovered that their
business Interests were indistinguisha
ble from tho promptings of tho pop
ular heart and 'the dictates of human
ity, it seemed likely that tho hesitation
of tho Executive would quickly eeaso and
that the destruction of Cuba would bo
stopped. For many months, as has Iwcn
attested by trustworthy organs of European
opinion, we have been expected by on
looking nations to interposo In tho name
of our own commcrco wasted nnd of civil
ization outraged. Wo have waited long
enough to satisfy the most Inordinate
claims of comity ; we havo left too long un
heeded tho appeals to justice and compas
sion. If now we signify to Spain that sho
has passed tho limit of endurance, and that
her devilish rule in Cuba must come to nn
end, not n voice will be heard from Europo
In protest, not n hand will bo lifted to re
sist. For intervening to rescue what Is left
of the Cuban population and of their island's
resources from extinction, wo shall havo
the moral mandate of mankind.
By proclaiming that every act of Wet
leu's has deserved not only commendation,
but applause, Seflor Canovas has forfeited
' every title to forbearance and to pity. He
has sown tho seed ; now let him reap tho
harvest. It Is seemly that history should
record that In tho Canovas administration
Spain, through her own misconduct, lost
tho last and onco most resplendent Jewel in
tho carcanet of her American possessions.
An Enil-of-tlio-Worltl Prophet.
The Rev. John Callicott, an Afro-American
preacher of much activity and repute In
Lafayette, Ind., has delivered his farewell
sermon, and is now patiently awaiting on
the steps of the Court Houso of that place
the end of the world, which event isset down
In his almanac for .Sunday, June 111. Tho
sincerity of this lloosler chronologcr seems
beyond question, but his dates cannot be
accepted. In every generation for tho last
eighteen hundred years many worthy per
sons mid sects havo lived In tho confident
belief that the cud of tho world was to bo
in their time, but the planet continues to
do Its day's work, careless of tho calcula
tions of mystical mathematicians and un
awed by tho fiery locks of conietc. Middle
aged Americans ran remember what a
rumpus William Miller of Low Hamp
ton inado by his lectures on tho imago of
Neiiuciiadnezzar, the beasts of tho apoca
lypse, the 1!,;I00 days of Daniel's vision,
and similar perpetually recondite matters.
Mr. Miller selected tho year 18-13-44 from
March to March as tho fatal period, and
subsequently compromised on tlio twenty
fourth to twenty-fifth day of October, '44,
nnd great numbers of people waited for the
end, but the world declined to end. Mr.
Miller was an Industrious person, but there
was a screw looso In his mathematics.
Since bis time many minds have tangled
themselves In the briars of prophetic inter
pretation. Notable thirty years or so ago
was tho Scotchman, John Cummino, who
did a tremendous amount of sounding of
tho trumpet and pouring of the vials, and
had a groat audience, and now ho Is dead
and forgotten, and tho world goes on,
Lieut. Tottkn has somo nble theories of
" bisection" nnd what not which are doubt,
less very Interesting nnd surprising to all
other gentlemen who try to turn poetry
Into arithmetic From tlmo to tlmo post
tho chronologcrs like tho Rev. John Cal
licott persuade themselves and n certain
number of followers thnt the great day Is
about to come. It Is lmposslblo to say
whether tho emotional excesses nnd neg
lect of dally secular duties, which an expec
tation of an Instant destruction of tho
world Is llablo to cause, are outbalanced In
tho moral scale, by tho serious preparations
for tho other world which tho Rev. John
Callicott and his brethren may now bo
Bupposcd to be making. At any rate, tho
refusal of tho world to closo on Juno 13,
1807, will not cnuso any serious disap
pointment among thoso brethren. This Is
the only world they know with tho cyo of
sense, and It Is a very decent sort of placo,
a very tidy little planet, when tho worst
has been said. Even tho Boosters will not
regret too bitterly that they may linger In
It for a llttlo whllo ycu And as for tho
Prophet Callicott, his reputation for
mathematical powers need not bo Injured
seriously by his failure to wind up tho
world next Sunday. Tho margin for error
In calculations of apocalyptic probability
Is so great, that n trifling mistake, of say a
few hundred thousand years ought nut to
disturb tho self-esteem of the calculator.
" O, but the long, long Tlma the World will lutl"
If it bo said that this prediction of Omar
Fitzgerald Is exactly as rash as that of
tho Rev. John Callicott, because thero
can bo no knowledge of the unknownblo
and no tlmo tablo of tho future, tho reply
must be made that modern science and all
history tend to strengthen a belief In tho
development of planets as of human beings
and human societies. They havo their tlmo
to bo bom, to grow, to reach perfection, to
decline, to peg out. Now this world Is a
mighty fine concern, even as it is, but clear
ly it Is In its early stages. It is not all dis
covered yet. Vast tracts of It are imper
fectly civilized or not civilized at all. Free
dom and knowledge, among the chief
gifts of life, are still denied to millions
of tho world's population. Even among
the most highly civilized and fortunate,
improvements of the arts and comforts of
life, great inventions of many kinds, such
as will be the common possessions of later
times, are now regarded as dreams or im
possibilities, or have not suggested them
selves to the most daring Inventor. The
world progresses, but the work which It
has accomplished so far must be regarded
as the mere beginnings and rough sketches
of tho work which It has yet to do. If tho
Rev. JonN Callicott and the rest of us
could have a bird's-eye view of the world as
it will be on June 13, 2807 or 12,807, what
an old hunks of a world the ono on view
nowadays would seem to us.
And the moral and mental development
of tho world Is even inferior to Its present
physical development. Give It time! How
full it still Is of shams and humbugs and
swindles, of Clevelands and Citizens'
Unions, bunco Bteercrs, and Associated
Presses; and once in a wbilo It has an
editor who, kicked out of politics, tries to
creep into a little glory in tho plush
breeches of a special Jubilee flunkey.
Really tho Rev. JonN Callicott must give
the world time; and it will take a good
deal anyway.
Tho Thirteenth Year of War.
In a recent discussion of the Cuban ques
tion in Congress, Senator Turpie remnrked
that "we are now witnessing the thirteenth
year of the war for Independence In Cuba."
The point thus made is a good one, be
cause it puts our duties toward the patriots
in a clearer light. The war for Cuban In
dependence began In 1808, and lasted for
ten years, terminating in a truce, followed
by the agreement known as the treaty of
Zanjon. Under that treaty certain re
forms were to lo carried out in Culm
by tho end of ten years. The term was
waited for patiently, but the expected re
lief did not como to pass. Seven years more
the people waited, not, however, without
rumors from time to time of an outbreak,
and then in 180.r tho outbreak came.
looking nt events in this light, Mr.
Turpie urges that tho interval between
tho two periods of hostility Is like that be
tween the two Slleslan wars prosecuted by
Frederick the Great. The cause to-day Is
not a new cause, hut the old one, and 1807
1b tho thirteenth year of armed revolu
tion. It is well to keep this point in mind
when considering whether we have waited
long enough to determine whether Spain
can conquer Cubo.
One other point made by Mr. Turpie, tho
undue stress laid on the fact that Spain holds
all tho Cuban seaports, Is -worth recall
ing. AsthatSenator pertinently suggests,
Hnytt and Santo Domingo won their Inde
pendence without seaports, "and Monroe
recognized the belligerency of Grenada, Bo
livia, Peru, Chili, Argentina and two other
Governments when every seaport of tho
colonics was held by the Spanish navy."
He recognized Bolivia's belligerency when
her capital was In the camp of BoLiVAn,
and moved with his forces In the field.
Certainly Cubitus has not yet been threat
ened, and Is not likely to be. From that
centre radiates a system of prefectures,
whllo there Is a regular mall-carrying ser
vlco of tho Cuban republic through tho
Island. The States of Santiago and Cama
guey and much of tho State of Las Villas
havo Cuban laws In operation, says Mr.
Turpie, and oven if tho Government had
been "nomadic," as Mr. Hale suggested,
that objection could hardly weigh much
with us, In view of tho fact that our own
Congress, during tho war of the Revolution,
" met at Philadelphia, Baltimore, Lancaster,
York, Princeton, Annapolis, Trenton, and
New York."
But wo specially recur now to tho length
of tlmo during which tho struggle for
Cuban Independence has gone on. It is to
day tlio same strugglo that began nearly
thirty years ago, nnd it is far stronger now
than then. Some of the leaders are the
same. Tho Cuban causo has been more
than twclro years In arms.
Again the Park Board has acted com
roondably In refusing to mako a carriage en
trance at Fifty-ninth street and Savcnth uvenuo.
That's a very old and pertinaciously repeated
scbenio, against which the roasonsaro many and
strong, It l satisfactory to know that tho
present Park Hoard appreciates them also.
There Is interest in tho San Francisco
story that tlio lumber-laden schoonor Kninia
and Louisa, which nailed recently for Uuaynms,
was concerned with an exploration of wjihu
Islands In tho Quit of California. It appears
from this account that Mr, Jkssb Quant, foii
of Oen. Qrant, obtained froni Mexico a con
cession ot the guano and minerals he might
discover on all islands in this gulf lying north
of thoSOth parallbl of north latitude, paying a
percentage of the proceeds to the Government.
Islands rich tn tnlnorals nro surmised to bo
thcro, but tho real summer sensation Is that
"tho 2t)th degree divides Tlburon Island, In

even In theso days, and on our own borders, ex.
plorers can find antres vast, rough quarries, nnd

It Is observed with Interest thnt wide
circulation has beon given to an impresstvo
story set afloat with a Mexican dato lino by the
Chicago Associated Press some time ago. Tn
tho country reprints, tho story Is usually credited
to the " A'eio 1'or Tribune of April 17," and
Indeed it appeared. In nil Its rotundity, in tha
Tribune of that date. In this alleged deSDatch
from Moxlco on tho doings of nn astronomical
observatory for tho first thrco months of this
year this statement occurs:
"Dr. Litr, who wm In choree of tin obwrratory In
tho Houthern HeaTcun, announcta that slnos Jan. 1
more than 000,000 itoullo and triple itara had bum
measured. More than one-half wore nw, harlnj
nercr been reported by any oatronomor."
Thcro were 120,000 mlntitos In the flrat thrco
months of this )car. Tho measuring of doublo
and trlplo Btars was thorcfore in progress at tho
rato of two stars and ono-thlrd a minute, night
and day. This beats tho record of all mundano
observatories, though It may bo merely an
average performance In an observatory situated
in "tho Southern Heavens."
Row insignificant In comparison appears the
work of tho Lowell Observatory In Mexico for
identically tho sanio period. It was described in
a long despatch from Mexico City printed In
The SUN on April 10, ono day before tho Trib
une' returns on doublo nnd triple stars wero
all In and ready for publication. Savo In their
statistical features, thcro Is a surprising simi
larity between tho abovo languago from tho
Tribune and tho following extract from The
Sun's article printed a day earlier:
"Since Jan. 1 mora than BOO double and triple
stars were measured, more than half of which were
new, baTtng nerer been reported by any astronomer."
No wonder tho Tribune adds: "In addition to
these discoveries his corroborative points of
argument as to the formation of heavenly
bodies will bo exceptionally Interesting." Whot
clso could bo expected of any remarks emanat
ing from an astronomer "in the Southern
Heavens I"

Commission of Boston has agreed to give
one-third of the amount required for the
purchase, and of tho remainder, about
$23,000, the sum of 75.000 has already

Since Mr. Seth Low has declared that he Is
ready under certain conditions to allow himself
to be presented as a candidate for the Mayoralty
of tho Greater New York by independent citi
zens' movement, one can count with practical
certainty that ho will really be a candidate in
the field and will receivo the support of the Re
publicans, Tho latter hnvc for some time past,
especially since Jake Worth declared himself
against it, dropped their idea of a stalwart
party ticket, which they probably, for that mat
ter, never Intended seriously, because they saw
that there could be no prospect of success for
such a ticket.
If now Mr. Low believes that he has a light
task before him and that he will win with the
help of his fame as Mayor of Brooklyn, he is
making a tremendous mistake. This year the
votes of the German voters of Greater New
York will bo of especial weight In the lsue.
and among these there may be found
many reasons to All them with justifiable
mistrust ot Mr. Low. Tbe latter Is. first of
all, a Republican, and even If the party
standpoint b left entirely out of consideration a)
in a municipal election, when we arc not really fj
driven to tho opposite position. neerthcless W
his party has precisely In the most re-
cent time sinned so frightfully that It
must inevitably suffer in consequence.
The Republicans aro nboic all re"ponsfhle for
tho Haines law, nnd this is so hated, epeciallvbr
the German voters, that It would be very dim-
cult to overcome the inclination in fin or of
Democratic candidates aroused Ijv it.
As the law can under no c!rcunitanre be Jl
done awnvwlth nextyear.lt is of extreme in-
tereat totnc citizens of the Greater New Virk, M
above all for tbe Germans, that they hate B
a clear understanding as to the in in- M
ner in which the law will bo enfrnved. H
