In 1904, when the republicans of New York regained possession of the legislature, their total of pluralities in the legislative vote was 84,000. This year republican legislative candidates secured total pluralities of 118,000 in spite of the spectacular come-back of Tammany Hall in the New York City contests.

The ineptitude of a democratic administration has again been demonstrated in the manner of handling the charges preferred against Aus-tro-Hungarian consular officers in this country. By permiAing a statement to be published in which an implication of guilt was made, this government has been put in a position where an apology may have to be made to the Austrian government. 'lbis, and other incidents, make the people long\ for an administration which will not have to apologize or to be apologized for. Happily, such an administration is coming before long.
