H ' Silver and Prosperity.
is Some persons seem to hare persuaded
E thcmv-Ivei that the free coinage of silver at
Si , the ratio of J5 to 1 has ceased to be formld-
I ' able and will be abandoned by the Dcrno-
If cratlc party. They see that the country ii
f?f prosperous; thnt wheat is hlRh and silver
"JM low; and they assume that the Democrats
W- -will gradually cease to regard the free
W coinage of silver an the most important
f political-economic question.
M In the Democratic newspapers there Is
J arnolutely no Justification for such an
assumption. No Democratic statesman
j has said anything upon which such a belief
8 could be founded. The Democratic position
in regard to sllrer ha not been altered in
j the slightest degree by the Improvement
ffl in ImMncrw. Those who think otherwise
, are either the victims of theirown illusions
fr or they have been deceived tij the paltering
$ and insincere course of certain Democratic
ft 1. fieri in ncptibllcan States.
3 The.Sf. Louii riloht-Uemocrat publishes
ft an interview with Governor Stei'1iks of
jt Missouri which expresses exactly the prea-
enl feeling of IJcmocrat,.ind coincides with
nil expressions on the wine subject made
JF by Democrats since the revival of busi-
'. n-ss began, with the exception that some
j$ Democrits, in the first weeks of the revival,
j svere less convinced of the existence of good
U times. Governor Sti:1'Hs says that "the
cltieH of Missouri hate gone right ahead
& wonderfully in advance of other cities. We
j hate no bank failures, ui'jney is plentiful,
ami our people are very hopeful and en
- couniged. At present vie ore very full of
a business, and you would hardly 1m able to
. tell a Democrat from n Republican until
i the next political fight."
W WIkb the next fight logins, however, the
if distinction Iwtween a Democrat and a Re-
j publican will be what it was In ltlt!. The
a propcrity which Governor Stephens ad-
n tnltn so heartily his not changed his or any
jj other Missouri Democrat's financial views:
L? "The sentiment In Missouri l distinctly In favor of

- - . Why Should Ziox Silain Give Up Cnba?
?r" As the time draws near for Gen. TVood-
fp roltD to present our Government's views
ST- concerning Cuba, an angry outcry comes
SP from Madrid against the idea of giving up
5j Spanish sovereignty In the island.
This tone of Indignation would be more
!$ fitting If our Government should propose
!if ' anytltlng no. el In Spain's experience, or
? any course different from that which Spain
i herself has followed in the New World for
jU the past century.
f A hundred ears ago Spain held about
? half of the territory in North and South
R' America, and a vastly greater area than
jL any other nation. She even owned an
fj enormous part of what is now included in
U our own country; for it must be remein-
i bt red that the vast Louisiana tract acquired
M by Jefferson from France had been held
jr by Spain for years prior to l&OU, when she
II ceded it to France. Dut us, at an curlier
H dnf, she had lost territory to Portugal, to
W Holland, to France, nnd to countries now
Included in the kingdom of Italy, so In the
fi New World tho past century has been a
f long record of the achievement of Indc-
If pendence by her American colonies.
'A Spain's cession of Louisiana to France In
i 1800, already spoken of, was followed
5? about twenty years later by the sale of
a Florida to us. Slexlco, the present Central
American States, Venezuela, Colombia,
Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru. Chili, Paraguay,
V Uruguay, and the Argentine Republic have
'A all thrown off the domination of Spain. Is
M it anything but uniform precedent, then,
If which Cubu follows in aiming at independ-
5 enccf Is there any cause for indignation
j on Spain's part if we suggest that the time
has come for an acknowledgment In tho
3J. case of Cuba similar to that which, sooner
!$ or later, she has been forced to givo to all
Bt these other countries In the New World I
H" Especially is resentment out of place If
our Government endeavors to aid Spain in
gf securing a price for Cuba mounting Into
Y, the hundreds of millions.

i 5r Shall Wo Have More Dry Docks ?
$1 A lioardcouslstlngof Commodore Dunce,
8j Commander Ciiadwick and Constructor
Dashiell is now considering the dock
jr needs of the navy. The humiliating state
fX of affairs that recently caused the Indiana
ik to he sent to Halifax for docking may not
f be without its compensations. It is be-
i lieved that Cougrtss will be asked, at
M the coming session, to build new docks,
5 and the Indiana's experience shows that
jf they are needed. Although we may hope
g to have the Hrooklyn dock repaired and
'ij'l available in a few months, nnd although
I if contracts have been made for the basin
jjK which is required at the approaches to the
W Port Royal dock, yet these two are the only
jf docks on the Atlantic coast that can take in
fjji a first-class Ironclad, and we have learned
6 that one or both may be disabled.
We have now, either built or building,
f nine armor-clads, three like the Indiana in
J displacement, and thcothcrslarger. Assoon
$ as the armor-plate difficulty is settled we
I shall undoubtedly add to the number, and
Tery likely it will be doubled oefore ournavy
Is fully reconstructed, Some of these vessels
will habitually be kept In the PacIQc. but
we must prepare for having from twelve to
fifteen on the Atlnntlc coast, L'nsbeathed
steel hulls require far more frequent dock
iiff. to save them from pitting, than
sheathed vessels, and it is plain that two
first-claw docks, on the whole stretch of
coast from Eastport to the Rio Grande, are
not enough. Doth may need repairs at
the same time, and the use of at least one
t
of the two docks might be prercttted bran
enemy In time of war.
Wooden docks, too. like those Jot men
tioned, can be built at far less oost than
the stone docks, and In far less time. Per
haps it Is within bounds to nay that wooden
docks cuit not mure than a fourth as much,
and they have certainly been built within
less tbau a fourth of the time expended on
granite docks In the same yard. The cost
of operating and of maintenance also ap
, pears to be less. Stone docks doubtless
have their adrantagn, and some naval offi
cers favor them strongly or would use
concrete wbrc stone cannot be had.
But the advantages of cheapness and rapid
Ity of construction will probably carry the
day over the more solid and durable stoce
structures. Since timber dry docks have
been In nse in this coun'ry more than
forty years, sufficient experience has been
bad as to their lasting power. Private
shipbuilders who possess well-built wooden
dry docks express themselves ftrongly In
favor of their stability and their reasona
ble resistance to decay, and official reports
have given the wooden structures. If proper
1 built, the advantage in point of cost of
repairs.
However, the point which especially con
cerns us Is getting more dry docks, and as
to the best method of constructing them
the board will report. It will also study
the value of floating dry docks, such as
England has at Bermuda, and such as Ger
many is now building at Hamburg, and
Spain is preparing for shipment in sect Ions
to one of her colonics.
Mr. Dashikli.'s Investigations in Europe
will also add information on the subject.
It would not tie too much for Congress to
authorize at the coming session the con
struct ion of two new docks, each capable of
holding the largest warships In the world.
No Time to Lose.
"The Hawaiian Islands should be con
trolled by the L'nlted States, and no for
tyn poxrer should be permitted to interere
mth them."
That is from the Republican platform of
1 Mio, last year.
A foreign power Is attempting to inter
fere with t! ' Hawaiian Islands in the
present year. ! "U7.
Diplomacy can take no notice of ultimate
motives, but common sense can, and public
entlment does and must. The evidence
multiplies that there is a fixed pur
pose on the part of Japan to make
herself a factor in the question of
the annexation of Hawaii to the United
States. Unless the character of Japan's re
ply to the Dole Government's unfortunate
offer to arbitrate srecial cases in contro
versy has beat entirely misrepresented, it
Is substantially a dimand that Hawaii
shall submit to the decision of a third party
hersoverelgnriuht of self-protection against
immigrants regarded as undesirable. To
extend the arbitration to the broad ques
tion of Hawaii's right to make her own
laws would be a surrender of independence
amounting to national suicide.
This is interference with a vengeance;
and under the graceful forms of Japanese
diplomacy appears the arrogance of a vig
orous young power possessed with the
pride of recent martial achievement and
the hope of a magnificent distiny as the
Empire of the Islands of the Pacific.
"The Hawaiian Islands should le con
trolled by the United States, and no foreign
power should be permitted to interfere
with them."
Of all the duties now before the Admin
istration none Is more urgent or more im
perative than the settlement for all timeof
the Hawaiian question. The one way to
render Impossible any Interference by
any foreign power in the affairs of the Ha
waiian Islands is to make Hawaii a part of
the Union. What was shamefully undone
in the first year of Cleveland's second
term must be gloriously completed in the
first year of McKivlev's Administration.
Mr. TjOW and the Republican Party.
This remark of the Herald concerning
the written and evidently carefully consid
ered declaration and explanation with
which Mr. Low accompanied his very
pious acceptance of a nomination by his
political agents, expresses an opinion
which, we are surprised to find, is enter
tained In various quarters:
"Mr Low's alluilon to chanted condition- U re
garded a., a hint to the Ctllrena' Union tr-at t'.ey
muitnot be inoikel If a little la'er on he make
dignified and ixrfeclly proper oierturts to the Re
publican machine."
The exact words so deliberately chosen
by Mr. Low, to which the Herald thus
refers, are these:
"The situation with which I am railed to deal U
eaentlallr different from that which I ontemplat d
In June. Other alo mutt face the chanted con 11
tlor.i. and all who are concerned mu make their
choice In the rre-nc of conditions u they are, not
aa thej mar with tfcey were."
It cannot be denied that this affords some
apparent justification for the inference that
the premature candidate meditates making,
"a little lateron," "dignified nnd perfectly
proper overtures to the Republican ma
chine." If the Citizens Union " non-partisans"
are "shocked" at the suggestion of
such a proceeding, they will simply show
that their pretences are not as false as their
candidate would demonstrate hisown to be
if he attempted to betray them to the very
enemy against which they arc most venom
ously arrayed.
Tho Citizens' Union was organized ex
pressly to eliminate the Republican organ
ization nnd the Republican Issue from the
coming campsign. It has never assailed
Tammany and Uryanlsm. Its assault has
been solely on " Plattlsm," In other words,
on the organized Republican party In New
York, and Its newspaper advocates and
spokesmen have ceaselessly proclaimed
that It would have no sort of association
with the Republicans as such, but would
resent any overtures to that end as fatal to
its "principle of non-partisanship" and
utterly contaminating.
For that reason solely it hastened to put
Its man in nomination, refusing to confer
with the Republicans even regarding a
common date for making nominations. It
flics from contact with the Republican
party as if It was a political leper, a vile
and disreputable drab, with which to asso
ciate was to Invite odious contagion and to
sacrifice all reputation for decency. The
young man Retnolds, who bosses the
UnUerslty Settlement and the Citizens'
Union collectively, has declared that It
may, possibly, listen to suggestions from
outside individuals as to subordinate nomi
nations, though It will Insist on picking out
on Its own motion wholly the candidates
for Comptroller and President of the
Council, That la, If the Republicans want
anything to say as to the composition of
the ticket, besides the preempted three
places at ita head, they must humbly pe
tition to the Citizens' Union arbiters a's In
dividuals only, and not as an organization.
That Is logical, ItEiOLW and ii.a to!-
league could not do otherwise -with any
j consUtencr. If Mr. lUnr ha any Intention
' of making "overtures to the Republican I
i machine" "a little later on," be la simply
preparing to betray tbem to the enemy j
against which their whole fight Is.
Of course, the Republican organization j
could not listen to any overtures from Mr.
Low except on the condition that he ,
I should withdraw from the hostile Cltl-
zens' Union machine. Otherwise the Re- j
I publicans would have to disband, publicly
I confessing that as partisans they are :
rightly excluded from among the number
of "the friends of good government."
Tbey would have to cast off their parti
sanship as a filthy rag justly offensive to
the choice company Into which they as- j
plred to get; and If they were admitted, i
ordinary decency would compel them to .
take a back scat as penitents on probation I
merely. The conversion of partisan sin
nets might be rejoiced over by the non- I
partisan saints, but naturally the sinners j
would have to come in with bowed heads, I
craving mercy rather than demanding '
recognition. They would have to ts.ke
what was given them, even If It was no '
more than a crust, and be thankful that
they got even that. I
The only way for Mr. Low to get the sup- I
port of the Republican party Istocomeover I
to It square!, like an honest man, eschew- I
Ing the vicious " non-partisanship" fantasy
of which his agents have made him the rep-
resentatlve.
Report of tho Venezuela Boundary
Commission.
We have before us the first of the four
volumes which are to contain the report of
the commission appointed by President
Cleveland for the purpose of ascertaininK
the boundary between Venezuela and
British Guiana. It is, of course, under
stood that no forma conclusions are ex
preved, the labors of th- commission
having been suspended w hen a reference of
the controversy to arbitrators was agreed
upon by the principal partie. For the
enlightenment, however, of the arbitral
tribunal and of histornal -tudents, it has
been thought well to publieh the data col
lected by various agents employed by
the commission to examine maps and the
texts of trat.is, diplomatic correspond
ence, and other documents.
What we have In the preliminary volume
is a report by Mr. J. FltvNKLtN Jam!on
on the Spani"h and Uutili settlements prior
to lHsj; and several reports by Mr. Gl.om.L
I.!coi., BuitK on the meaning of certain
articles of the Treat of Munster; on the i
territorial rights of the Dutch West India
Company: and on the evidenre furnished
by the Dutch archives as to European occu
pation and claims in western Guiana. We
purpose to state with all possible conci-t-nc-s
the results of thi-e investigations.
The a count of Mr. Jamij-on's researches
occupies ome t!.irry-lie pages of the
volume, but their outcome may be summed
up in a few words. le finds no evidence
of any sipanish occupation of lhedi-pu.d
territory, that, namely, between the Esie
quilto and the Orinoro, in li;!", nor of any
but temporary occupation of any portion of
it bef ire that time. On the otbirhand.be
finds no c rtain evidence of any Dutch oc
cupation in lil northward or west
ward of the Ess.-quil,o, and of Kyko
veral, the island in the Mots'"' i at
Us confluence with tbeCujuni. Neither
does he find any evidence of thtir
occupation of Point Iiarima before 1VA-.
Such wa.s the situation at the time
when the Treaty of Mun-ter was "signed,
whereby was guaranteed to the Sjan
iards and Dutcli respectively the jios-s-sion
of such countries in the Easta'itl West
Indies, as also in Brazil and on the coasts
of Asia, Africa, and America, as the said
Spaniards and Dutch held and possessed.
Aswehae just s.i-n, the Dutch held r.o
part of the deputed territ jry in lt',4".
Neither did the Spaniards, but they
cluimed the whole of Guinni by r.'ht of
discovery. The Knjlish miintain, how
ever, that the treat g.tse the Dutch the
right to make further acquisition in Gui
ana by virtue of the following clause:
"Comprehending therein particularly the
places and forts which the Portuguese
have taken from the Dutch since the car
Hill ; iu also the fort and the lticcs
irhirh the Dutch shall chance to acquire
and pnnets after thii, inthout infraction
of the present treaty."
Mr. GtoitOK Lincoln Hum has made a
careful study ot the meaning of the itali
cized lines in the last quoted clause,
and he arrives at tl. conclusion that
they refer exclusively to conquests or
n conquests, which might be made by the
Dutch at the expense of t lie Portuguese,
who, it will lie rememliered, had recently
thrown oil the Spanish yoke. "It is im
probable," s-iys Mr. Burnt, "that in the in
tent of its trainers nnd Its ratirters the
Treats of Munster conceded to the I)nt.-li n
right to win from the natives of Gul-iua
lands claimed by Spain. It does not ap
pear that the treatv was ever interpreted
in this sense by either Spain or the Dutch."
So much for the claim of the British For
eign Ollice, that the Dutch, from whom
England derives title, had by the Treaty of
Munster a right to make fresh acquisi
tions iu Guiana, westward and northward
of the Essequibo.
It has been alleged, on the part of Great
Britain, in the course of the controversy
over the Guiana Inmndary, that the char
tersof the Dutch West India Company
named the River Orinoco as one of the
limits of Its grant, and that within the
limits of the grant these charters gave
jurisdiction. For the purpose of learning
the grounds for these assertions Mr. Hums
undertook an Inspection of the charters of
the company, and of all the legislation of
the Dutch States General on its behalf. The
result 01 ins researcnes is as follows :
" From the terms of these grants, unques
tionably, may 1m.- Inferred the assumption
by the Dutch Government of a right to
plant colonies, either directly or through
the Wet India Company, In the district
known as the Wild Coast," that Is to say,
the coast eastward from the Orinoco.
" There Is, however," continues Mr. Bumi,
" in none of them an thing to suggest that
this was counted exclusively a Dutch right j
uor Is there any claim of sovereignty over
this coast as a whole."
By far the larger part of the volume is
devoted to the outcome of Mr. Buim's ex
amination of the evidence in the Dutch
archives as to European occupation and
claims in western Guiana. The purport of
the data relating to the Dutch claims is
summed up on page 374 as follows: "The
whole coast of Guiana was, from the be
ginning of the seventeenth century, looked
upon by the Dutch as open to colonization ;
but no exclusive, claim to that coast, as a
whole, seems ever to have been made by
them." Mr. Bvitn goes on to say that from
lClil to 1074 the right to colonize that
cent on behalf of the Dutch was rested
In the Dutch West India CoLipanr, which ,
was empowered by IU charter to settle
I nnoecnpUd districts. That company, while
j freely exercising this right of colonization.
and granting lands for Ita eiercle by
I others, has lef; on record no definition of
the limits of ita occupation In Guiana, and
no claim as to a boundary on the side of
the Spanish colonies. From 1674 new
West India Company, which had received
I by ita charter no other lands on the Ameri-
j can continent than "the places of Esae-
I qulbo and Porneroon," owned and governed
the Dutch colonies In western Guiana.
The boundaries of these "places," unde
fined by the charter, were left undefined
by the company, and so remained until the
year 17C0. At the date last named a re
monstrance to the Spanish Court, drawn
by the Zeelacd Chamber of the West India
Company and approved by the States Gen
eral, stated or Implied definite claims as to I
territorial boundary In Guiana. On the
coast the Dutch territory is represented as
stretching to beyond the Wain! River; in
the interior to a point between the Dutch
post on the CaynnI and the nearest
Spanish missions. The claims as to
boundary were not admitted by Spain.
This is, wo are told, the one docu
ment known to the diplomatic correspond
ence of the two countries which suggests
the place of the boundary. Mr. BCHtt
notes, final!, that in 1792 the Dutch col
onies in Guiana reverted to the State, but no
fresh claim was made as to the boundary;
and though in 1 SOI -1 &02 the Dutch Council
of the colonies conceived a project for the
delimitation, at the Congress of Amiens, of
the Guiana boundary, hoping to fix It at
the Orinoco or the Barlma, the project was
abandoned and rema'ned a secret.
On the whole, in view of the evidence
thus far published by the commission, it
looks as if Venezuela went to the utmost
limit of concession when she offered to fix
the boundary at the Pomeroon River, and
as if the arbitrators are therefore likely to
award to her by far the larger part of the
disputed territory.

Wisdom for Cape Cod.
Whit beautiful wisdom is contained in
these t'.oughts and suggestions upon the
j habit of reading .n its relation to the use of
lx)ks! We quote from a letter written a
few daS ago by a distinguished statesman
nut now in office to the Chairman of the
Board of Trustees of a circulating library
recently opened on Cape Cod, in a town not
far from Buzzard's Bay :
-1 hope I may t allowed to lurrest that the ad
rantagr of the tew Ittrary can oaly be gained
ILroech a cultlratlcn of the habit if readies by those
for w horn It Ii lateaded "
Ol serve the profundity of the thought so
modestly advanced. The idea is amplified
in the next sentence:
"While It Is true that readln- be-ets readln-. It la
also true that th- cuttom of saiutying the desire to
read, t j a p'lcatlon to the cirvul tine library, nay be
acquired bj any community with Tery -real profit,"
And with the precision and tateliness of
Irresistible logic the process of reasoning
reaches its conclusion :
"It sterns to roe. therefore, that It If most Im
portant, in rder to comilete the b- nrfieent mission
of the ne library, that those for whwe benefit It is
fouaded should not only stimulate this hatlt of
profitable reading, but should also I accustomed to
a-all ibrmtelTet of the prl-Ucces which thu circu
lating lllrjry freely affords."
Who Is the author of these daring sug
gestions, penetrating thought, and mar
vellous variations of the great central Idea
that no library Is useful unless Its b oks
are used? Wild horses shall not drag his
name from us.

Mayor of Greater New York- Inasmuch a it
must be presumeJ that thi nomination wa
made with a genuine desire to secure your elec

come the second largest dty in the world, the i
bent fits of good government, freed from the
blighting Influences that so long renderedthe
municipal Government of the present New York
a byword, it become Important to take a care
ful review of the state of thing existing and ,
the possibilities attendant upon tbl step. j
It U conceded. 1 believe, that within the Ur- j
ritory now called Greater New York the Demo- I
cratic tarty, on normal party lines a they ex
isted prior to the last general election, num
bered among Its followers a majority of our l
voters. Inasmuch a Tammany Hall I tbe con- ,

than forecod government. It is obvious that the
results which are supposed to be fought by the ,
Citizens' L'nlon can only be obtained by some
combination of voltri upon some issue or Issue
other thsn those representing the normal party
lines trior to 1 'frek
At least two uch combination may be possi

Ixst'ons which may for that purpose be enrolled
against Tammny nail, thl nomination to be
bro-gbt atoit in a discreet and friendly way. o
as to (cure tbe (olid rote of ail tbe real friends
of good rovemment without creating aty fric
tion between the restctive element whose a
po-t Is absolutely eential to victory.
The tceo-.d combination 1 that which wept
b--ck from our city in the last general election
the tide of national dishonor which Sowed from
'he revo.utiosary gatheing at Chicago send
threatened to wipe out those fundamental law
of honor and integrity upon which our solid
sro'perity must be founded.
Tbe-e might be named a third combination,
preferable to either of the foreroing, namely: a
combination of tbe two combination, for In

The Mugwumps of Greater New York are at
their old trleks of attempting to forestall action
by the Republican party by placing in nomina

tlon that their choice will have to be accepted
by the regular org nlzation, the Hon. Seth low,

To yield no will bo to encourage tbem to

surtlcleritly eourageous to nominate a straight

win by united action, but even defeat I prefer
