the wishes of the people none even to lead them
to particular course 1t was simply the exer-
else of dull, stupid brute force to ride over
them rs though they were not of the slightest
consequence. Notwithstanding the obvious
fact that the Republicans of these two States
were overwhelmingly opposed to the third
term scheme the two Bosses of New York and
PENNSYLVANIA calmly assumed the right to dis
regard them and set up their Cwn will instead.
The brazcn assurance with which Don Cameron
claimed the power as chairman OF the National
Committee to virtually decide the character OF
the National Con vention is fresh in the public
memory.
These two men are political twins. Their
governing idea is that the leaders of party
are all in all, and the people are of no use ex-
cept to vote a. directed. They represent the
"bossismn of the most offensive form of per-
sOnal politics, the sort which hOurshed and
grew rank III Grants second term. But this
form of 1t is never lOng-lived. Simon Came
ron's way was more subtle and more success
full. He seemed sometimes to lead and some
times to be led by the people, but he never
rode over them rough-shod, though he
managed to keep the reins in his own
hands most OF tnc Uinc. Nj. tOnhuHS . Coh-
tempt for public opinion in his party reached
the eliminating point when he made quar-
rel with Republican President and Republic
can Senate and coolly demanded of the party
in New-York that it should take up his side
of the quarrel against the whole party out
side. The demand was refused, and our
" Boss stepped down. There's another one
his twin-proceeding apparently at the same
breakneck speed to the same fate.
Current political events in Pennsylvania,
complicated and somewhat confusing as
they are, point to one thing at least
with unerring precision. There is no mistak
ing the fact that Senator Don Cameron's days
as "Boss" are ended. There are "Bosses
and "Bosses," and it may be that some other
"Boss" will succeed him; this at any rate is
certain, that for some years to come in neither
Pennsylvania nor New-York will there be a
reigning "Boss" who can afford to treat the
people with such utter contempt as has been
shown for them by the New York Nebuchad-
nezzar who has just gone to grass, and the
Pennsylvania Belshazzar who is now reading
the handwriting on the wall.

class of Hebrew who was driven out OF Russia
to our shores is not at all a picturesque or
poetic object of compassion. He is no cleaner
than his Russian oppressor; tyranny has gwen
to his wits an unpleasant edge, and poverty an
offensive SAVIOR to his manners. In short he
has his other side, like every other man; but
his sufferings have been real, and he is likely
to earn his own living, and is by nature neither
lazy, drunken nor criminal, which, in the lace
of some of the weekly importations OF new
fellow citizens, is matter for thanksgiving

INCOMING UEBREJCS.

Jewish refugees from Russian persecution
continue TO arrive in small numbers every
week, but large detachments are expected
during the summer-sO large, indeed, that the
wealthy Hebrews who have hitherto provided
for their wretched brethren and directed their
movements begin to be appalled, at the APP
parently endless incoming swarms, and advise
that where it is practicable they should not
leave European ports faster than provision
can be made for them here" The effort to
scatter them through the West and among the
farming population OF the Middle States proved
only partially successful. They are traders by
instinct and habit, and accustomed to earn their
living ont of the needs of great communities
The majority of the refugees thus far have
settled down in the Eastern cities, aud those
who will come are likely to do SO. The on
thusiasm in their relief is apparently dying
out in great measure among their own people,
which is due probably to the fact that the lower

We see no good reason why there should be a
change in the methods of taxing the surface
railways in this city, which the sixteen COM
panes are trying to bring about at Albany.
The bill in their behalf now in the Assembly
has large and generous sound. 1t provides
that instead of certain taxes, percentages on
receipts and license fees, 2 per cent on the
gross receipts shall be paid to the tax collector.
1t may be taken for granted that the companies
expect great advantage IRON the passage of
this measure or they would not try to get it
through. Why should they have advanta ges
which other property owners do not have
Why should their property be taxed on differ
ent basis from other real and personal estate
owned by corporations in the cityY If assess
ments are placed on them unjustly or Excess
sively, let them resist payment III the courts
rather than seek special legislation at Albany.
At best, 2 per cent on their gross receipts
would be too little. The Controller asserts that
it ought to be 4 per cent If the taxes are to
be paid in that way. Another point which MIR.
Campbell makes should cause the companies to
reflect before they call too much attention to
themselves. This is that these corporations
enjoy special rights and privileges, and in
Justice ought to pay more than mere property
taxes. Are the use and occupation of the
streets nothing7 The large sums that have
been offered for the right to build railways Ill
ChambeIs-st. and Forty -srcond-st. give de-
cided answer. The street railway companies
pay their stockholders large dividends, and they
might be content to bear their just share of the
burdens of taxation as other property holders
do, be they corporations or private citizens.

Notwithstanding the gravity of the crisis in
Eeypt. it is still the avowed hope of the Brit
isb Government that force will not have to
be used by the Powers. The joint occupation
of the country by France and Great Britain
apparently will be avoided by them as long as
possible 1t would entange the two govern
ments in so many delicate relations that the
statesmen of each nation may well dislike the
prospect. The most conspicuous example III
modern history of the joint occupation and
government of q country by two Powers is
not encouraging. Prussia and Austria no
sooner got possession of Schleswig llOlsteln
than they began to fight each other, ands be-
fore the trouble ended it made great changes
In the map of Central Europe.
There was a good deal to be said for and
against opening the College of the City of
New-Yor to the pupils of private schools.
But now that the Legislature has decided that
it is desirable to furnish young men with
what is known as higher education. at the
expense of the taxpayers, the trustees ought
to put the experiment i'll the way of being
tried without delay. They moved slowly
in this direction yesterday, being trpped up
by the rulings of the President of the Board.
1t NAV be that the result of this new law will
be to crowd more densely the excellent public
grammar schools of the city. The examina-
tons for entrance to the College are pretty
stiff and it is believed by many that the pupils
of the private schools will not be able to stand
them 1t is therefore likely that more boys Will
be sent to the public schools.
Can anyone tell what the Democrats of the
House expected to gain by the offer of their
so-called plan of COMPROMISED They never
could have expected for moment that the
Republicans would agree to it. To send spe-
ciaI committee Of five to investigate matters
in South Carolina and see if Dibble's alega-
tons of forgery could not be sustained would
be to grant the delay in the case which the
Democrats are flibusterng for, as well as TO offer
an insult to the Committee on Elections. which
has already decided that Dibble's charges are
too hiInsy to be considered. Was the offer ill.,
tended to delude the country into believing
that the Democratic Representatives were act

1t will be seen by the letter which we pub
lsh this morning that the p residents attempt
to Stalwartize the Capital has not met with
a cordial reception from the Republicans OF
that city There would appear to be three
grave objections to the Presidents action The
leaders who induced him to make the changes
in the two Offices were not entitled to consld-
Grafton the men whom he appointed were not
entitled to consideration the men whom he
supersedes were entitled to consideratlon-the
consideration resulting from faithful ser
vice, unblemished character and unfalter-
ing Republicanism. Apparently the only
reason that can be given for what he
has done is that the two Republicans
who are retired are Garfield Republicans,
while the two who take their places are
Stalwarts of the Stalwarts. 1t might be sup
posed that President Arthur would espe-
cially desire to have the Republicans OF
his own State a unit in support of his Adj
ministration. But these two appointments taken
in connection with those here OfOre made by hlm
here and there in New York forbid such sup
position and warrant the inference that he only
cares to stand well with the faction of the
party that was defeated at Chicago. Of course
he is free to do as he likes, but the policy of
ignoring the majority of his party and having
respect only unto the minority is neither brill
liant nor sensible.

SoAE FACTS ABOUT CoLoRs.-ln large
town, where there we're extensive cot
ton factories employing thousands Of
men and women. the doctors tried an
experiment. They obtained permission
to paint on paper tho various stories of
factories in different colors. red, white,
blue, yellow, green, etc., and so arranged
that the factories were not all oolOred
alike: that IL to say. the third story Of
one factory was white. that of another
blue and so on, SO that the effect Of DO
sition could not influence the result Of
the experiment. The physicians then
kept a record Of the health and attend.
ance of the employers at all the factor
les during a period of two years or more.
The study OF the result of the expert
ment Is an interesting one, especially to
physicians. and an important fact IL the
public was discovered. II was found
tina; colors had an influence upon she
health. The highest degree of health
WAS obtained in the stories painted or
papered light blse. The white stories
were next bes:. light green came next.
We cannot mention all the interesting
facts brought out. but one of most im-
portanca 10 the, public ia that of all
colors yellow il the most unhealthy. In
all the stories co!ored yellow, whsther
low or high in position. the inmates sue-
fered most. Inmates of blue or white
stories were ccreraliy happy and cheer
fni: those occupying yellow rooms we're
ill-natured and Respondent. The lesson
taught by the experiment is to avoid
yellow walls ysliow curtains and yellow
eolors generaily il Ne would be healthy
and happy.
