THE ,CU1U IN EUROPE.

The Shah Of Persia IS now on his third visit
to Europe. His progress from court 10 court
is hcraIdcd by the customary kilograms. These
items Of Oriental news are cOuChCd in language
not always respectful TO the sovereign Of great
and ancient people, and are sometimes gar
nished by sncerS and stories too evidently
worked over from the fabncatons manufact-
ured about him on previous occasions. IL is not
quite easy to understand why a monarch Of
eminent responsibility visiting Christcndom for
tho distinct purpose Of gaining knowledge TO
be applied for the benefit Of his own people
should be made 30 persiStently the butt Of a
portion Of the foreign press.
This result is doubtless due in part 10 the
habitual failure Of Europeans to disassOcate
what is genuine and really good in the Oriental
character from what they consider from their
point Of view Objectionable; in part, also, from
tho fact that many arc cOnsututionally led to
assume that what is contrary TO their own ex
perience should necessarily be condemned. The
readiness OF the European press TO value O
statement rather for its power 10 interest than
its strict adherence to truth is also well known.
Nusr-ed-D Deem Shah is enduring in this respect
what has been inflicted on the good repute Of
the United States for generations. But there
is reason TO believe that there may be y
graver cause for some Of the brilliant fctions
concerning the Persian monarch. Russia's de-
signs on Central Asia are now pretty generally
understood but it has taken the world longer
fully TO realize the strength and depth of her
craft and the answering steadineSs OF her pur-
pose. Is it not possible that some of the fctionS
about Nusr ed Deem Shah are more or less in
spired by those who have interests to serve in
belittling the Shah Of Persia before the world
Indirectly this may prejudice the best interests
Of Persia by preventing favorable alliances, and
by making it difficult for tho Shah to carry out
patriotic designs for the development Of his
county.
These stories and illusions TO the Shah are
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1889-06-14

certainly in many instances absolute fabrica-
tions, and In most cases disingenuous and I'M
generous. In point Of fact, NuEr-ed-Deen
Shah. who has occupied the throne more years
than any reigning sovereign except Queen Vic
toria, is one Of the most worthy, intelligent
progressive and patriotic soyereigns Asia has
seen during the present century. Not, per
haps, in our sense of the term, a great man, he
is, according TO his circumstances, a
good man, who means well and does
his best to do well. He is bandi-
capped by being in false position, because
opposed on one hand by reactionary hierarchy
in an old and theocratic Government and on
the other by the intrigues of powerful neigh
Dor. who fears that progress may render Persia
either too Independent of her or too dependent
on England and Germany. Americans may
have no immediate interests OF pre-emInent i'm
portance in the Oriental question, but they
should not forget that their ally, Nusr- Deem
Shah, has invariably extended generous hos
pitality and protection so far as possible to our
citizens resident in his dominions.

an IMPARTIAL TRIAL DEMANDED.

The public feeling about the Cronin case Is
most earnest desire that the murdcrers who
ever they may be, shall be detected and pun
ished Americans have no sympathy with the
lawless methods to which certain secret asso-
Citations are disposed 10 resort Whether crime
is prompted By labor strikes, by schemes for
the independence Of Ireland, by quarrcB be
tween factions, or by personal greed or hate
il has no sympathy or federation from Amen-
cans The public knows and thoroughly de-
tests the perverted state OF mind which prompts
a cowardly and hidcOus crime for the sake OF
cause considered mcritorouS II wishes to
have the lesson taught that in this country the
law must be obcyed, and that no real or pre-
tended zeal for any cause, however worthy,
can ever be suffered to excuse in tho slightest
degree a crime against the public peace.
The evidence taken at the inquest ut Chicago
makes IL extremely probable that DR.. Cronin
WAS murdered by somebody connected with the
bitter faction fight within an Irish secret so
ciety. BY his adversaneS he had been dc
nounced as a spy or traitor. lie had denounced
some of them not less bitterly. What Ameri-
cans have TO do is not 70 take sides with either
faction, but TO punish mercilcSsly the persons
who have broken the laws Of this country, be
the pretHxt what il may. That infamous opin-
ion which jusificS the most dastardly crimes
against society at tho bohost OF secret, par
tiSln and irresponsible tribunal will never be-
tolerated by Americans, and If executions Of
men high in places Of influence are necessary
TO stop such crimes the sooner they come the
better.
1t is not the business Of Americans TO judge
the acts Of revolutionary or other secret So
cietics in countries whore opinion is not free,
where justice is not impartial, and where life
and property and political rights are not pro-
tected by equal laws But the men who fly
from such countries TO seek an asylum here
must leave behind the methods which arc at
war with American freedom and American law.
BE they labor agitatOrs, Southern Democrats, or
Irish revoutoniSts In this country they must
obey the laws or expect no mercy. The Molly
Mcguire murders in Pcnnsy lvania ended in
executions. 1t Is the standing disgrace Of the
country that political murders at the South have
not yet been so punished. But for all offenders
Of this class, be tho prctext or motive what il
may, American civilization demands an impair
tial trial, and after conviction, no mercy.

1BoUT rHlr MUNICIPAL BUILDING.

II is a satisfaction to find that public opin-
ion, so far as it has been expressed through the
press, is solidfy opposed to the proposed usurpa-
ton of the City Hall Park by the new municipal
building with which the Commissioners have
announced their intention of covering practical
" all the space east Of the City Hall and the
Court House. Moreover, this opposition has
not been meagrey expressed, and so far as
we have observed, tho Commissioners scheme
has found no defenders. The newspapers Of
this city are unanimously hostile to the lnVa-
sion and there is abundant evidence that in this
instance, at least, they represent the popular
feeling We observe that 1.-THE World" con-
siders it doubtful whether the Commissioners
have right, under the law to carry out their
plans and surmiseS that litigation may follow
any attempt to monopolize so large an area.
An appeal OF this sort might eventually DO
decided against the people, but we are inclined
to agree with our contemporary that n resort
TO the courts, presumably in the form Of an
application for an injunction, would result in
postponing for considerable time the acquisi-
ton of now and much needed municipal ac-
commodations. 1t is our hope that no such
recourse may be necessary. The Commission
ers are well aware not only that the law upon
which they rely was passed under misappre-
hension, but also that an INSCRIPTIONS cxer-
else Of the powers it confers upon them will
proyoke general resentment. Furthermore
unless they arc perversely blind, they must
have learned by this time that there is not the
slightest necessity for putting into execution
the grotesque design which they have formed
Three other alternatives arc open to them
They can acquire for the departments com
mOdious quarters already In existence; they
can put up building on site outside the limits
of the park, in all respects suitable and con-
venient and already owned in great part by the
city, and they can erect modest and comey
structure within moderate area Of the park
The last is the least jlstfabe OF the three
courses, but even this is vastly preferable to
the scheme OF construction which has hitherto
seemed TO fill their minds TO the exclusion Of
every other idea. We are Informed that they
are at present less disinclined than formerly TO
listen to reason We hope that we have not
been misinformcd

Governor Hill has refused to sign the Com

had not accomplished. A fierce attack was
made on the bill after it's passage, on the ground
that It would interfere with private schools ana
home instruction. but a careful examination
of its provisions failed to convince many ed
ucators that this would be the case. MIR. Hill
takes another view. however, and is able 70
discover some inconsistencies in the bill which
are fatal in his eyes. At present compulsory
education In New-York is farce, and 1T must
continue SO for another year at least.

The relation OF the college graduate 10 the
learned professions is discussed with considerable
acumcn by the faculty OF Wesleyan University
in The current issue OF " The Wesleyan University
Bulletin" Their contention is that college
education is really factor in determining success
in professional life They are by no means
satisfied with counting the number OF college
men who enter the various professions, and they
admit that success cannot be determined abSo-
lutely. The figures given are worth considering
In the last two Congresses about 40 per cent OF
both Senators and Representatives were college
men. and In the history Of the country about
one third Of rur National legislators have been
thus educated. Taking Appleton's Cyclopaedia
OF American Biography Us q criterion by which

IL is found that among surgeons 40 per cent
have been college men; among physicians, go
per cent; among those who have made rcputa-
ton in the law, either as lawyers, priests or
statesmen so per cent; among clcrgymen, 80 per
cent In the profession OF teaching IT is claimed,
with good reason that college graduates are fast
acquiring control Of the higher positions. The
figures given are suggestive. They do not war
