people will feel easier about the future OF the

The arguments made by the Rev. Dr. Storrs
and the committee Of women who waited on
Mayor Chaplin in Brooklyn on Monday, in behalf
of the appointment Of women as members OF
the Board of Education, ought to have consider
able weight with the Mayor. In fact the argyll
mcnts are all on one side. Tho only thing to be
said against the plan is that 1t is an innovation.
But it is undeniably desirable innovation.
To 90 no further away from Brooklyn than New
York can any one be found who does not believe
that the appointment Of Commissioners Agnew
and Dodge was a good thing for our public schools
Other cities have tried the experiment, and we do
not recall case where it has not been successful.
Any one in need of o first class Citizens' Move
mcnt,n warranted sound and in as good condition
as it ever was, can obtain the same by applying

matters Of this kind.
The spectacle Of United States Senator glory
ing in being receiver Of stolen goods is scarcely
an inspiring ono to the friends OF popular gov
eminent. Mr.. Eusts, Of Louisiana, Is proud, he
SAYS of what his State has done in the way OF
stufIlng ballot-boxes, intimidating voters falsi-
flying returns end setting the popular Will Mt
naught. And he knows perfectly well that IL Is
by such means that his seat in the United States
Senate was secured. When will he learn. and
when will the people of the United States rccog-
nize the fact, that the political party that steals
an office is even more criminal and more base
than the craftsman who r"bs u savings bank2
Il appears that the noble army Of independent
citizens who believe that one party Is as bad
as the other and that the salvation Of muncipali-
ties can only be found in non partisanship in
local affairs is recruited from Mr. Flynns foundry,
Mr. Gracc's undergrad and from . gashouse In
a strong County Democracy district Probably
the ofice-boys on " The Times and :" The Even
ing POST also attend in body.
The Vatican shows equal favor to both political
parties in England II attempted to bring the
pressure Of religion to bear upon the Irish tenants
when Mr.. Gladstone and his Irish Secretaries
were enforcing Coercion acts and battling with
the League. It now renews the policy when o
Tory Government In rapidly exhausting the re-
sources Of the Same barren policy. There are
no moro devoted Catholics in the world than the
Irish, but they have never accepted the dogma of
Papal infallibility In questions Of rent and agra
rian wrongs.
That Is a curious clause IN the decree Of tho
Harvard Board of Overseers that henceforth In
t.rcolleCiatc athletic contests In which Harvard
takes part shall be held only In Cambridge New
Haven or some other New-England city or town.
Don't they recognize the existence Of any col
eges worthy Of their steel west Of tho Berkshiresp
Will Harvard no more compete with Columbia and
Princetonp Or must they go to her, while she
refuses to come TO themr
"The Rochester Post-Express7 speaks Of tho
silly, the partisan and the mean arguments which
THE TRIBUNE has employed against the million
dollar canal bill. This is a pretty scathing re-
proof as it stands But while it was about it
" The Post Express might as well have let fly q
few more excoriating adjectives-" pestiferous,'
for example, or " loathsome' =" loathsome' is
quite whitening II our contemporary desires to
mako its mark and is not particular about the
sort Of mark 1t makes, it would do well to Guilt
vatc It's decided talent for scurrility.
Professor White Of Yale College, lectured at
Philadelphia Wednesday en- Memory Training
President Cleveland ought to make an effort to
have the professor repeat this lecture at the
White House. Tho Presidents memory evidently
needs training very badly. He doesn't recollect
that in his letter Of acceptance four years ago he
came out fat-footed against tho eligibility Of the
Chief Magistrate for reelection.
1t Is stated that Tanmany Hall has appropriated
81, 900 for collation. TO the deleg gates from the
interior who attend the Democratic State Con-
venton which Is to be held in this city this month
We feel authorized TO add that tho committee
whose duty it is to expend the money will set
apart 1895 to reimburse the landlord who IS
to be given the contract to fill the flowing bowl
until IL runs over. But then S. iudicousy
pended Will buy large quantity Of crackers and
cheese

this novel undertaking. and experience has shown that
