In ill lier case they have forfeited all daim t<» the consideration of Re« publicans who in the past have been inclined to look en them with favor because of their virtuous declarations. To-day they are mak¬ ing war not merely on n rival, but on n leader of a popular movement, simply because he is leadlos ;l popular m »v went, and they are also making war on the right of Republicans to have a Ire«, voice in choosing candidates for office. If they succeed they will have "downed" not nu rely Mr. Worth but the liberty of every enrolled Republican in Kings County. There should. Indeed, be no compromise with stich an attempt to make slaves. "COME .Wit PI 11* 11777/ I/,.." Ii is announced with a considerable degree of authority that the High Mightinesses and (¡run Potentialities of the Republican County Com¬ mittee, whose inspiration is Platt and whose mouthpiece is Qnlgg, have pretty much agreed upon District-Attorney Olcotl as their candi¬ date for Major. The Honorable Abraham Gltlbfr, Chief .lester of the Show, formally Mtmcbed the Olcott boom on Saturday Blghl at a meeting of the Republican organisation of the xxist District, over which Colonel Gruber presided with the habitual gravity and seriousness which lend so much piquancy to his humor and gire such point to his jokes. At this meeting Colonel Gruber solemnly resolved -and the rest agreed with him that the Citi¬ zens 1'nlon In nominating Setti Low without Qnlgg'l consent liad "deliberately disrupted the anti-Tammany forces" "in the plain interest of Tammany Hall and to its sole advantage." The language Is a trifle loose. Even the powerful persons in the Citizens 1'nion would hardly undertake to "disrupt" forces that had never been Joined. Still "disrupt" is a good word and quite expressive. Mr. Gruber and Mr. Qulgg frequently use it in n similar sense when they say that persons who do not agree with Mr. Platt are "disrupting" the Republican petty. The Citizens 1'nion having disrupted the anti- Tammany forces "in the plain interest of Tam¬ many Hall and to its sole advantage," Colonel Grubor resolved to help along the disruption and give Tammany another lift by putting a straight Republican candidate in nomination. So he nominated District-Attorney Olcott by resolution, and the rest agreed with him. lie- ports received from Colonel Grubor's» lieuten¬ ants, the trusted Republican leaders of the election districts, were to the effect that many of them would prefer a Tammany man or eren "Paddy" GleSJOS to Seth Low, and that Mr. Olcott would siand as good n show gg Low if he were nominated. This was encouraging. Re- fore separating Colonel Gruber called the atten¬ tion of the district captains to a provision in the Election Laws which could be made <>ffect- ive in preventing supporters of Beth Low from voting at the Republican primaries. Colonel Gruber in many respects is not so funny as Quigg., Hut lie's funny enough. It remains to be seen whether Mr. Olcott will consent to be a candidate against Mr. Low. it Is said that lie has been sounded on the sub¬ ject by the siren of Coney Island, who sum¬ moned him lo the Oriental Hotel one day last week, and on the piazza of that seat of empire sang to him the bewildering ditty: «) won't you come and play with m< Anil play with me, and play with me; Por I've such a nice little way with nie. His response has not yet been authorita¬ tively announced; but It Is assumed by th«- gentle Gruber and the gifted Qulgf that no one who believes in the regularity of the Republican organization ami the Impeccability of iis chosen oracle can ever resist the fasdnstlon of the singer or the allurements of the s«>ng. It may be so. Hut Mr. olcott will do well not to permit himself to be carried off his feel by Mr. Plstt'« "Come and play with mc"' Other etatesmen have listened to that song and been lured by It; and too late have learned just what the "way with me" means to those who "come and play with me." Two years airo Mr. 1'lalt was buildlBf up an opposition to the nomination of Mr. McKinley for President, jusl as be is now t<» the nomina tion of Seth Low for Mayor. Hfl and his friends were denouncing McKinley tie-n Just a* bitterly as they are denouncing Low now. calling him, as they now call Low, a "mortgaged candi date." and sparing no epithets !u Heir abuse. It was th«n that Mr. 1'latt sang to Goremor Morton his "Come and play with me!" Goremor Morton had just about as much chance of 'i<- featlng M'Kinley as Mr. Okott has now of defeating Low. Everybody knew it except the Governor. Mr. Plstt knew it. But be dangled the phantasm before the Governor all th.- sunn-, as he while«! in a bewildering skirt dance and sang "ii, won't you come and play with in«!'' ! Governor Morion yielded to the fascinations of the changer and permitted his name to be used in that nneipial and imposslbl.intest. Mr. Plstt had inch a way with him. such a way with him The Governor found out at Hi«' end of a somewhat costly experience what that "way" was. The experience was that of the young person who, returning home bruised and 'dishevelled, was met by his mother ( with "I told yon not to play with the IfcCarty boy.'' 'j haven't played with the MeCsrty boy." u d he, "the McCarty boy has been playing wilh llie " It's a winning "way arltta me" ihat Mr. Plat! baa I'.'it as a gr«al many bruised and dig« bevelled statesmen have found out, "winning" only for Plstt Mr. Olcott Ig doing w.-n where be i«. He stands well with his party ami with the community. He will be wise nol lo put everything at risk by llgtenlsg to the giren song from Coney Island, "O, won't you come arid play with m«-"' Mi. Plan, lik«- the M< Carty boy, usually doe« all 'in- playing himself. That s bis "way." UERMÂ M"> ISOLATIOS. Prince Bismarck's latest reproach to bis Im¬ perial master ;s double-edged, it cuts with tie mordtHity of both memory and foreboding. What German*1 should «i««. be says, is i<» form a Continents! coalition to check the riling power «.f England; bul she will not d«« it, but win merely provoke against herself ibe blight¬ ing wrath of England, in hi« day Germany <ii«l what she now should do. sh«< seized rast co¬ lonial empires coveted by England, ibe began i«« rival British commerce, she encouraged Kiisslu to DUrstM an unli British polhy In (.titrai Asia, flelXlUg Khiva and Mciv and a «orner of Afghanistan and planling her ban BSV upon tlM Hoof of ill«- W'orhl. She even eotttllved to persuade her dear foe, Franco, to seize Tunis ami «pt.irrel with England over Egypt, Vastlv more than at any oilier time in Hila century she isolated England ami led all Continents] Europe in her own Importai train. The recollection of that time gives emphasis to Prime IbMiiarok's recommendation that Germany hhould do the same today If she did it then, « by not now ! Instead, however, WttSt i" to lie seen'.' II Is Germany, not Kngland, that i« isolated. True, the Triple Alliance, as I'rln« e BismSTCtl «ynl ».ally recalls, is Mill maintained But Italy, the only esSSsbtf of it in the least uionaceful to England, Is actually England's ally lu a Dual League. ltus*la no longer listens to Merlin, but Is Milled with I ram«- and on mure friendly term with Engtond than ever befóse, Krsnce, too, |g hobnobbing with "perildloiis Albion." unli, while »lu- hua not forgotten i.topL no longer lets the pyramids ohsSUfs lief vision of the universe. <¡erman commerce slill men¬ aces that of Liuihind, It Is true, lint England has denounced the treaty that was Germany's chief aid and baa rid herself «if the fetters of fobdenisni for a struggle that may well check Germany's ambition. On every hand Kngland la gaining power and prestige, ami Germany is losing. Bach circumstances give cutting force to Prince Bismarck's bitter words. It would b«> ¦ long st«iry to discuss all the appâtent causes of this radical change of Eu- ropeao alignment. But two are conspicuous and convincing. On«> is the German Km- peior's hatred Of Kngland and his unconcealed dealre to make of hern second Carthage. That II was which led him into his amazing sub¬ servience to Russia in tli«' Ghino-.lapane.se «et- tlement and lato tending bis famous dispatch to President Krüger. The result of the one was tn shake the faith of BUWPC In the soitnil- nena of his foreign policy: of the other, not '" helj» the Hoers. but to aliénai«« and exasperate the British. Tiie other is the arbitrary egoism of the Emperor's nil«'. This has been strikingly displayed tbronghonl the whole t'retan-Greco- Tnrkisb business. Becanae of his pereon'il siiit«« against his sisicr and his zeal for main¬ taining his own divine right lo rule, he has kept G«>rmany in Hie position of an nnrcasona- ble obstnictloiiist. lo the offending of all the other Powers. Some great stroke of policy may retrieve all that has been lost, but the exe¬ cution of any such purpose seems day by day les« probable. BRITISH A KM Y BURGEONB. In his recent address before the British Med- ¡cal Association, at Montreal. Dr. Mitchell Banks, (,f Uverpo.il. paid a well deserved tribute to the army surgeon. "Have you ever heard,' lip asked, "of Surgeon Thomson, who, during "the Crimean*\V*ar, when the army marched off. "after ihe battle of the Alma, volunteered, wltb "his servant, .lohn McGrath. to remain behind "on the open held with five hundred terribly "wounded Russians, and passed three awful "days and nights- these two Englishmen ahme " among foreign foes, some dead, some «lying. "and none able to raise a hand i«i help them- "selvrs"'' The annals of war contain many similar »tories of beroiim on the part of sur¬ geons which fully justify the words In their praise «poked by I'r.

The gain of these eight votes would assure Republican control in the Senate by a liberal margiu- which would be converted into s major'iy unparalleled In receui years were Republican legislative Victories also to be scored in the States of Ne¬ braska.

I SESSIBLE 8BED POLICY. Attention has frequently been called in The ' Tribune to the sagacity and judgment which have marked the administration of the Depart¬ ment of Agriculture since Mr. Wilson's installa lion in office, six months ago, In that brief period the new Seoreiary has fairly achieved a réputation unique in his department for origi¬ nality, enterprise ami trained executive skill. Fertile in ideas ami Ingenious in devices for the expansion of the Nation's agricultural In« tenais um) their development on rational and truly ecntioniie.il lines. Mr. Wilson'« Inspiring personal influence seems already to have revo¬ lutionised the wirk of the depart.M and to have lifted ¡is activities from the plane of mere dilettante resesrch to an ex.llngly high level of practical Interest and importance. Since March B many notable reforms have been ac¬ complished in the methods by which tie- Wg agricultural machine at Washington is operated, and many new and practical aims nave been set it by the keen Scotch farmer win» has under¬ taken its direction. Bui of all the fruitful in¬ novations attempted by Mr. Wilson none, per¬ haps, is lo be more heartily commended than the decision he has Just announced to allow no further abuse of the department'« mnch-per« verted function of aeed purchase ami circula« lion. According to recent dispatches from Washing¬ ton. Secretary Wilson has dedsred himself as frankly opposed to the indlscrtminstfl scalier« ing of pumpkin gqusah end morning glorj seed broadcast over the country, and has pro« rislmed his intention to do all that he can lo discourage a practice which has brought upon Hie work of the department for many years past a more than appréciable shadow of popu¬ lar ridicule. The Secretary «hows his accua temed sagacity in the means he proposes to take to remove the sticnta of opera -bouffe from his execution «>f the to-called Free Beed law. A» la will known, the practical nullification of tlii-* law by Mr. (lev.land's Sccr.-tary of Agriculture, l. Sterling Morton, Id .> a long and bitter fight during the last Administration between the Secretary ami Congrega, Though Congress ap¬ propriated Ihfl usual amounts annually for Ihc purchase and distribution of s.Is, Mr. Morion refused to expend the moneys and di Bantly cov¬ ered Hi.-til back into the Treasury. Put the two houses violently resented this arbitrary and Indefensibie refusal «,n Hie Secretary'« part to ex«'ciite the law. and ill«' latter, after many In effectual struggles, liad finally to obey the will of the legislative department. But t" make the siaiute as odious si possible, the defeated Secre¬ tary purchased only the most common of aceda and distributed them with a not re to thi.n ti.i ng public which applied for parcel« that thej were only passed ground as mementos "f .i"i" less h*g ilatlve extravagance and folly. Public opinion may have sustained Mr. Mor Ion it his rsustlc estimate of ti>u value of mail¬ ing "g'li.lell UM" seeds "n l'.l t|. h'til .'1 | .pi CI 11 ' s as a means of encouraging National progress In agriculture. But no logic could defend his ar¬ bitrary refusal to parry out the provision« of a law passed by Congress and signed by Ibe President.
