,lxYAYY IND TEE L0ClL REFORM

The facts brought ont BY the FaSett COM
mittee's investigation of the Register OUNCE a.
Tammany has conducted it under the saiasy
srstem. are not full of hope for the carrying
ort OF any real reform in the Sherih's ONCE IL
Tammany should elect its candidate this year
When the legislative inquiries were made which
Ied to the change of the Registers and County
Clerks Offices from the fee to the salary sy
il was entirely clear that, properly ADMINS.
tered, those Offices under the new metnous o'
administration should show large finan c1al gains
to the city. That loss instead OF gain snouio
follow is itself sufficient argument against con-
timing Tsmmany in control OF the county
Clerks office or permitting it to install IN the
position of Sheriff so firm believer IN l's
methods and confirmed disciple IN Its prac-
tees as Justice German
That the Sherifr's Office can be run on bust
ness principles and free from the abuses whicn
chsract erized the place under Mr. Grant IL
beine demonstrated by General Sickles. One
of the latest evidences of this purpose on MS
mart is the letter which he has sent to lawyers
Of the city. In it he states that the books re-
ouired by the new law showing the fees re-
oeiyed BY the Sheriff or his deputies have been
provided and are open for inspection; informs
the lawyers of the adoption OF rules requiring
all fees, etc., to be paid to the Sheriff person
ally or to his order; requesting that no bills
be paid unless marked approved by the Sheriff
or his attorneys, and that all bills presented for
"extra compensation" which seem too large
should be taxed by the court. The Sheriff
adds an expression of his desire to conduct
the Office strictly in accordance with the re-
ouirements of the law, and requests all mem
bers of the bar to aid and cooperate with him
in this respect and to inform him of any dere-
Lotion of any of his subordinates."
General Siclles has been claimed by Tam
many as one of its adherents, and 80 probably
he is nominally. But it is evident from the
manner in which he is treated by that organ
izstios from the unwillingness of its leaders
to nominate him for any other Office, and the
tone In which his official performances are
commented upon, that he is not the kind OF
man wanted by them In any OF those offices
that are regarded as the family heirlooms OF
Tammany." II Justice German shall be elect
ed Sheriff or Judge Giegerich shall be chosen
County Clerk, it is safe to predict that the
members of the bar will not receive from
either of them any such bona fde assurance
of business methods in their Offices as has just
come from General Sickles. Tammany was
opposed to the passage OF the acts reforming
the administration in the Sheriff's Office as it
was in the case OF the acts affecting the Regis
ter's and County Clerks offices and it is bound
to verify its evil predictions by the results
If these three important positions can be filled
by men whe will carry on their work with the
spirit manifested by General Sckles, the wis
dom of the changes made in the law will need
no further demonstration.

TEACHERS WISE AND OTHERWISE.

A recent incident of the educational life OF
Brooklyn may truthfully be said to have In
creased the gayety Of the Nation. Laughter
held both his sides at the news that the great
city beyond the big Bridge included in its pop
ulation persons so peculiar as practically to pro-
pose to transfer Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
from Fame's pantheon to the index expurga-
torius It was difficult to believe that their
protest against The Building of the Ship" was
made in earnest that it was not simply the
exquisite outcome Of the genius of humorist
psssionately bent upon creating conceit be-
yond the reach of art. Thus far, however,
sufficient attention does not seem to have been
drawn to the fact that the incident furnishes
food, not only for fun, but chiefly for serious
reflection. 1t is calculated to set one guessing
how many school teachers are now industri-
ously practising their profession In these United
States who ought to be earning their living
and making themselves useful in some other
field Of effort.
Every intelligent lover Of his race hotly
resents the idea of teacher who Is unfit for
his work. And rightly SO. For there can hard
~ be more dangerous foe to human progress
than an incompetent intellectual guide. Just
as the twig Is bent the tree incines. If the
bender Of the twig i. at fault he can hardly
avoid inAicting serious permanent injury upon
the tree. Nevertheless, for some occult reason
or other the impression that anybody who has
received q good or a fair-to-middling eduoa-
ton Is competent to instruct the young has not
vet been eradicated from the popular mind.
As a consequence, too many Boards Of Trus-
tees and similar bodies are often grossly care
less in their selection Of teachers. Not infre-
quently they license the first applicant for q
vacant school who comes along provided he can
show thot he has pursued course OF studies
at college, or at all events, at high school.
Or, if they don't do this, then the trustees OF
the commissioners fill the vacancy, not by ap-
plying the rule Of the survival of the fttest to
the candidates who present themselves, but the
rule Of the survival Of tho shsrpest-the teache,

MAKING HISTORY.

Mr. Balfour's contemptuous alluslon 10 Mr..
Morley rs one better suited to write history
than to make it Is easily answered. Mr.. Nor
ley has already boon pre-eminently successful in
making the history Of English rule in Ireland.
Like Mr.. Balfour, he has occupied the post Of
Chief Secretary, but he has achieved the re-
markable distinction of having ruled the island
without rendering himself an object of popular
execration. During tho present generation Ire
land has been governed by many eminent Eng
lish statesmen Of conspicuous ability, but tho
only e1-Chief Secretary who haa commanded
the respect sympathy and gratitude Of the
people is John Morley. Other Chief Secretaries
have enforced Coercion Acts and maintained
public order with the aid of garrison bayonets
and the constables' bludgeons, but they have
been hated while in Office and detested ever
after. Mr. Balfour is Chief Secretary Of this
class. These men have not made history they
have only perpetuated the old scandal Of gov.
erning a free people against it's will and with
out the moral sanction Of public opinion. Mr.
Morley alone among this body of English gov
ernors of Ireland occupies tho unique position
Of being a popular parsonage in the island He
is cheered by great throngs in the streets of
Dublin and Tipperary. He has ruled the
island, yet is universally respected and liked.
To accomplish so anomalous result Is to make
q new chapter of Irish history.
While MIR. llalfour is himself incapable Of
making history in any other sense than that Of
psolonging an irrepressiblo conflict and enlarg-
ing old.time abuses of power, he Is most sue
cessful in recording his own failures and In.
competency. When he admits that he has not
consulted the representatives of the Irish peo-
pie, elected in the main without contest in
their constituencies, and maintains that It
would be " criminal lunacy" for statesman Of
his position to make those representatives the
arbiters Of English policy toward the island. he
virtually oondemns his own method Of govern
ing an alien race For four Centuries Ireland
has been an English conquest II 1t the end
