A\ INCONSISTENT KNOW-NOTBINQ.In trying lo defend the discriminations against

naturalized citizens which the pending suffrageamendment, if adopted, will write into the con-stitution of Maryland, "The Baltimore Bun"falls into a curious inconsistency. It says thatthe Democratic party In Maryland has alwaysopjMtsed Know-Not hingism and favored equalrights for native and naturalized citizens. But"The Sun" and the Democratic party are n >\vsupporting a stiffruge restriction scheme whichwill [nit the naturalized citizens of the futureinto a class by themselves, inferior in privilegesto white natives who can show a patent of "an-cestry." Naturally it is hard work to prove tothe naturalized white element, which is goingto be put on a par after 1909 with the coloredvofers, whose claims to "ancestry" are alsothrown out of court, that the provisions of the

amendment are uot tainted with Know-Nothlng-ism.

"The Sun' exhorts the disrated naturalized tocheer up, and by accumulating enough property<<» qualify as voters or by educating themselvesso as to paps the educational tests to securefranchise privileges which natives with "ances-tors" can acquire without practising frugalityor burning the students lamp. Says our Balti-more contemporary by way of encouragement :

THE SIMILAR 11R. BANNARD.We have already alluded to Mr. Banna rd's

>ingular notion that the people of this city ar.'

intelligent. Unlike his chief competitor, whois an authority upon the subject, for he re-marks almost daily, "Iknow the people andthey know me." he is not aware that the publfcenjoys being robbed if it may only be robbedamid verbal fireworks. He clings to the delu-sion that itwants to get more than 4o cents tina dollar back in the form of efficient government

for lhe taxes it pays. He holds perversely tothe opinion that the people desire the waste inthe city government so cut down that therewill be a margin with which to build subways,t. increase the number of schools and play-grounds- and to fight tuberculosis. He talksabout dollars when he might talk about Gaynor.Hollars interest him. He has a mind not abovethe economies which a businesslike system

would effect In a great corporation like thisone. He approaches t lie problem of New Yorkas he would approach the problem of some bigbank or railroad which had l«*'n mismanagedami which he had to reorganise.

This dull absorption in practical affairs ist'.ie result of Mr. Bunnards unfortunate bu-i-ness training. He Is only a business man andbe Ik unable to look at anything except from abusiness |«oint of view. New York begins tosee that he would make a very uninterestingMayor. As a Major he would attend to thesame things that he now talks about. Thesebusiness details of the municipal corporationwould occupy his mind to the exclusion of otherand more exciting matters. A prosaic official,he would be beni on such dull affairs as intelli-gent accounting, economical purchasing, weeding•ml the useless employes, and. In general, on effi-ciency that would give the people, perhaps,twice as much for their money us they nowreceive.

It is only necessary to compare his speecheswith those of Judge (Jaynor in order to see howquiet an administration he would give coin

pared with that lo he expected from the "Christian jurist."' The spice of egotism was left out

of his nature. His vocabulary is tame andcolorless. Figures interest him. but he lacksimagination; for we do not believe, for exam-ple, that Mr. Bannard regards himself as "con

seriated" to the multiplication table. With htm:i> Mayor "The City Record" would probablyhave no comic supplement, since the Katzen-jammer editor is already engaged by his com-petitor. He would stick to business in his ad-ministration as he does In his spivrhes. Thenext four years would be so far from declatnu-lory that the city could hear a pin drop andwould hear many useless beads drop. Whosov.auts an administration without "consecra-tion.*' declamation, Inflammation, execrationand vituperation must t>e a person of Incorrigi-bly quiet tastes and Jurrerlaimably practical in-clinations :

TAMMANTB CONSECRATED CANDIDATE.The consecrated candidate of Tammany Hall!

How inexhaustible are the resources of thiscampaign in amusement: We turn from the

Katzenjainmer man. mistaken for a great edi-tor, to the nominee of Murphy and associate of

Koesch. Sullivan aud Hagan, who mistakes him

-elf for an instrument of heaven consecrated t<»'

the cause of good government. "Imade a cove-nant then and there." he writes in his letter to

his brother, "that from that time onward I•should devote some time every year in work"against low, base and corrupt officials and"government and to lift up government.' Andm this consecrated spirit becomes the candidateof all that is low, base and corrupt in the publiclife of this city to end baseness and corruption.lie is consecrated to the cause of clean govern-ment, and he is helping to elect Roesch.

lias self-deception. If it is not somethingworse, ever gone further? He rolls his eyes toheaven and murmurs: "God's will be done"when he is approached on the mayoralty ques-tion, but all the while he ls dickering withHearst and Murphy to insure that their willbe done. When he is asked if he ls to have acampaign manager he inquires, "What is that?Inever heard of such a thing. But he has onein a few days. One of his racetrack friendsoffers him $dOO toward his election expensesand he declines itInhis loftiest sacerdotal man-ner, well knowing .all the while that Murphywill pour forth an abundance of money In nissupport.

New resources mustbe uncovered and made use of to defray thehigher cost of administration. The states havenow practically pre-empted the Inheritance tax.They may soon be forced to resort to an Incometax to supply their enlarging needs, and thesurrender of such a rich reserve resource to

the federal government may be bitterly re

pented. The nation ls not likely to abandon thincome tax again, as It did after the Civil War.and its greater ability to make collections wouldgive It the right of way in that field as against

the states. It would be well if every common-wealth should treat the ratification of the pend-ing amendment to the Constitution as a busi-ness matter quite divorced from partisan poli-

good iini:nin\<; and coon feeling.

Several recent incidents, the latest in an in-numerable series extindlng through many years,hare again suggested the desirability of moregeneral cultivation of international good man--

an indispensable adjunct to internationalfriendship. It should be perfectly obvious that

i< rig nations as among individuals complete;:<•< ><t feeling can be maintained only where thereis due regard for the decencies and courtesies ofintercourse.

The treatment of flags is an important case lvpoint. There are perhaps a few persons who re-gard even their own national Hag as nothing bqi

a fabric of parti-colored cloth, which may l»>lived for advertising purposes or for a dour mator be treated like any old rag. To such thepresentation of the claims of courtesy and re-spect would be In vain. But t-> the great ma-jority of people the Hag is a sacred emblem ofnational character, national Integrity and na-tional soveignty, and therefore Imperativelyentitled to the most respectful and even reveren-tial treatment, and to such the regard whichthey have for it should certainly -though un-happily it does not always

—dictate the treat-

i.cut which is to be accorded to the flag.-; ofother nations.

There is a formidable and perhaps insuperableobjection to the raising of any foreign Bag 00 Ijüblic building here in such a manner or posi-tion as would suggest the sovereignty of aforeign country. The display of that Hag in ap-propriate subordination to our own—such su'.j-< rdination only as that which the host who sitsat the head of his own table exacts of hisguests who sit at his right and at his left hand—

is not only permissible, but often is necessaryto courtesy, and the name is fo be said of thedecoration of convention halls and banquethalls and all other places where there are Inter-national assemblage^.

'.•'here are no doubi occasions when the publicdisplay of foreign tiags might lie Indiscreet orimproper, but such breaches of propriety arefew. In the great majority of instances inwhich violent demonstrations have been madeagainst foreign flags in this country their dis-play li.is been entirely proper, and the hostilemanifestations have been made chiefly by thosewho. If tl|cy were travelling or sojourning Inforeign parts, would probably consider it \u25a0 de-sirable and Indeed necessary exhibition of whatiLe.. conceive to be patriotism to Haunt theirown flag m the facet of their hosts on all pnaBible occasions, fitting or unfitting, and to de-nounce remonstrances as an insult to the siarsand Stripes and to the American nation. Thereis no respect in which scrupuloualy equitable

rOOR SPELLISO AMONG PRESUMES.We are not sure how our friends the Sirupli-

iied Spellers will regard the ireful tale of or-thography gone agley which comes from a lead-ing Western university, of freshmen who spellIrregular "earegular," and apprentice ''apren-tase," and intelligence "enteligance," and soforth. It Is not improbable that some personswill see in it another demonstration of the dif-ficulties of English orthography and of thourgent need of reform; though others may hallthe fnshmen as pnicious recruits to the causeof Simplified spelling, particularly those wh<>spelled counterfeit "counterflt" and apprentice"aprentis."

To us. however, the chief significance of thiswretch. -.1 showing is that which is suggestedby the head of th>' department of English inthe university in question

—namely, that the

grammar and high schools at which these youngmen were "prepared for college" were remiss intheir duty or were Inefficient in their work.We should s.-iy that boys ought to be taught tospell better than these freshmen before theyarc promoted from the grammar school to thehigh school. But while thus illiterate— nomilder word will serve— that they should begraduated from the high school, as fit (or col-lege, is disgraceful. The blame is not to be laid;;t the door of English orthography. Such intaught lads would blunder }h<t as badly If ourspelling were purely phonetic. The trouble lanot thai the words ,-ir<- too difficult to spell, butthat the boys were noi taught to learn spellingby the most practical and most successfulmethod— namely, by liberal and studious read-Ing in which they carefully observed the forma-tions of the word's which they read.

We ;;:v well aware that the spelling of BOineEnglish words la puzzling, and also that somepersons uf otherwise excellent education havemi poor a sense or memory of literal form as to1«» Indifferent spellers. Hut we believe that Ina majority of such cases as those to which wehave referred ability to spell correctly wouldhave been developed If proper teaching meth-ods had been employed with the earnestnesswhich was given to other studies, and if abilityto spell had been Insisted upon equally withproficiency in other studies as a prerequisite topromotion, graduation and matriculation. Makethe grammar school boy understand that hecannot enter the hich school, and the high schoolboy that he cannot be graduated and enter col-lege until he has learned to «pell with a rea-sonable degree of correctness, and we shallbave fewer such exposures of downright Igno-rance as thai which li.is just been reported.

WATER WASTE AXD THEFT.Tho Committee of One Hundred does well to

<;i!l attention to the loss which the city suffersthrough waste and theft of water, for it is aheavy loss and it is due in great part directlyto bad administration.

The facts are practically indisputable. Thecity's own engineers have vouched for them\u25a0Sain and asain. Water is lost wholesale, in avariely of ways. Some is lost through leakyand broken mains, which ought to have beenreplaced long ajro. Some is lost* through defec-tive plumbing, pipes and laps, which the citygovernment ought to have compelled house-bolder* to repair. Some is lost through waste-ful use from uninetered taps, at soda fountains,ban and elsewhere. Some is lost through de-liberate theft, through tampering with metersor through the use of unnietered pipes secretlyconnected with the mains. TUe news of theday for years past has contained Innumerablepieces of evidence to these various effects, onthe authority of <-ity oflkials. A little has be>>ndone now and then to correct the evil, hut therehas been no general, genuine and effective effortto stop tin* wholesale leakage.

More than one-third of the whole supply ofthe city is thus lust. A certain proportion ofloss is doubtless inevitable, hut it is conserva-tively reckoned by competent authorities thatthree-fourths of the present loss, or about liiO,-(KJ0.000 gallons a day. might be saved throughthe adoption of honest and enlightened methodsof administration. The city has spent manymillions of dollars on its water supply systems,and is now spending many millions more. It isa scandal that so costly a service should be sogmssiy mismanaged. Something like a millioniuid a half dollars is lost every year throughpreventable waste and theft of water. Thar Is abig price to pay for the privilege of being ruledlv Tammany Hall.

adopted country; but Ifall this ls to be consid-ered a sacrifice or hardship, surely the privilegeof American citisenshlp ls not so mean an«lcheap a thing as not to be worth the price.

That may be sound and true. Yet the nat-unillzed citizen willbe prompted to ask, If the

franchise is worth the price "The Bun" namesto liiin. why It is not worth the same price tothe white native. Ifthe right to vote is not to

bo considered "so mean and cheap a thing." why

shouldn't the same valuation be put on it for:ill classes of electors? The naturalized voteris to be penalized simply because he Is foreignburn. If that is not Know-Nothliißisni, wlmtis it?

The desertion of Hedwig Wangel from the stageand her enlistment in the Salvation Army, saysthe "Frankfurter Klelne Press*." came about in apeculiar way. With her mother, the gifted actressstrolled into a hall at Frankfort one evening lastmonth when a meeting was in progress. She wasseen to smile broadly when the speaker told of thegreat future of the army, but when he enlargedon what it had already accomplished and told•bout the poor glrlr It had befriended, of'the dis-consolate who had been cheered and the hopelessones who had been made to smile and to enjoylife, she became interested, and when the ex-hortation cam* to an end "two women, one young,handsome, beautifully clad and wearing manyJewels, the other older but also fashionablydressed, advanced and knelt among those who hadbeen converted. They were the actress and hermother. That night they both enlisted In thearmy, the daughter renouncing forever the pro-fession in which she had achieved success."

THE TALK OF THE HAY.

A Mr. Frank Fox, printing in "The LondonNational Review" what he calls "a snapshot"of New York journalism, makes this remark:"Dana Gibson, founder of 'The New York Sun,"was, Ibelieve, the first exploiter of the 'human"interest* story." Fond memory reverts to thegentleman who sought to live by his wits, and,encountering the late "Bill" Travers as thatworthy strolled up from the ferry, took him bythe hand and said: "Mr. Waldo Coombs, ofGoshen, Ibelieve?"

whose national guards willcontinue to take part

In the war games with spirit and profit.

A few weeks ago it was widely remarked that

official investigation had repudiated and dis-proved Lord Charles Boresford's alarmist state-ments about the # British navy and had in ameasure discredited their maker. Lord Charles,however, insisted that he had been sustainedand vindicated, and to the eyes of not a few Im-partial observers it did seem that he was right.Sine© then, at all events, things have beenpretty generally going his way. Some of themost important features of his policy havebeen quietly adopted by the Admiralty. Onlya few days ago it was announced that a bureauof mobilization, precisely such as he had rec-ommended, was to be established, and now it isreported that his chief antagonist. Sir JohnFisher, is about to retire from the Admiralty.
