SOCIAL EQUALITY.

OOCIdL EQC anil
Under this title Leslie Stephen has weighty
article in the April number of "The lntena-
tional Journal of Ethics" The argument Is
ti-Socialistic but liberal. The fatal defect of
all proposed institutional remedies for existing
social evils, and especially for the equalization
Of conditions, consists In the dependence placed
upon institutions alone. Upon this Mr.. Stephen
insists, and his doctrine Is sound. 1t is indeed
not new doctrine, for it was taught by the
Founder Of Christianity, whose parable was up
lifted continually against the fallacy of regen-
Grafton through externals, and who taught that
"the kingdom Of Heaven Is within you" The
protest is directed against one Of the pet de-
lusions of the age. Human credulity dlminishes
far less than our vanity would have us believe.
If magic and witchcraft no longer disturb and
awe men, their belief in the extra-natural po-
tentialities Of institutions and forms of govern
ment reveals an equal simplicity and an equally
facIe creduity. The modern ideas which have
taken form in various Socialist programmes are
one and all vitiated by this error. Nothing can
be more inimical to real progress than such ex-
periments moreover, for the certainty of their
failure only tends to increase the impatence
which begot them, and with discouragement
comes inclination TO attack blindly what are
assumed (often quite wrongly to be abuses and
wrongs.
No sane man questions the existence of many
conditions for the removal of which the world
would be better. But no rational mind ought
to overloo, the clearly demonstrable fact that
every permanent change for the better de-
mands an uplifting of the human nature which
is to support and profit by the change Prac-
tical experiment has shown that when degrad-
ed class, used to live flthily and without COM
forts or conveniences, are suddenly transferred
from their familiar styes to model lodging
houses they do not at once seek to raise their
standard of living; on the contrary, they set
about soiling and destroying their new sur
rOundngs, and so conform the latter to their
own level. This is an instance directly in point.
Real reform must proceed from within outward.
| The people must be raised before they can live
up to higher institutions. At present social
| equality is a dream, because of the extent of
the ground 10 be covered before it can become
possible. AS an ultimate aim it may be kept
in the forefront of thought, but even then to
small purpose unless the necessity of pursuing
this aim ethcally rather than materially is fully
recognized. For social equality requires dis
tinct and important changes in the prevailing
view of life Selfishness, for example, is not
the special vice of any class or condition. 1t is
not dstinctively the vice Of the rich. II is
everywhere present. What else subhacts from
the produce of labor in nearly all civilized coun-
tries to-day an annual revenue for drink which
if saved would well-nigh suffice to abolish
bauperism and enormously diminish crime and
its consequences?

HOSTILITY TO THE WORLUS FAIR.

Every public-spirited citizen Of the State
should regard with shame the failure of the
LEGISLATURE TO pass the bill appropriating $780,
600 for the Worlds Fair. This bill was in
tended to enable the Empire State to make a
creditable showing at Chicago and uphold its
prestige at the great Exhibition in the eyes of
the world. 1t was introduced by Republican,
and was unexcephonable in all its provisions.
But the Democrats at Albany, for "political rea-
sons.n saw fit to oppose its passage. Public
interest, as always, was subordnated to factional
advantage; and tactics were pursued which, if
adhered to, will throw the entire burden of the
New-York exhibit on local enterprise or reduce
us to an inconSpicuous position among the States.
The Democrats, of course, will be ready enough
TO foist the blame on Republican shoulders when
the facts are no longer fresh in the public mind.
But Democratic obstruction alone caused the
Fair to be taken from New York to Chicago,
and the same influence has been used TO produce
this later result.
Really, the story of the Fair preparations is
not such as to stimulate National pride. To
start with. it was found impossible to complete
them within a year of the actual anniversary
Then every small politician with petty grudge
against somebody else threatened revenge by
opposing the State appropriation. When the
New Orleans lynching was a matter of interna-
tional dispute, it was promptly suggested that
Italy could appropriately ayenge Macheca and
his associates by refusing to send exhibits to
Chicago IL has not yet been proposed that Lord
Salisbury can neatly adjust the Behring Sea COM
plications by similar advice to the manufacturers
of birmingham, Leeds and Sheffield. But it
begins to look as though some plain talk were
necessary to awaken popular appreciation of this
important undertaking.
The Worlds Fair was not devised for the
beneft of New-YOrk or Chicago, but of the
whole country. 1t is the one thing from which
local prejudice and sectional animus should be
vigorously excluded As Prince Albert knew
when he projected the great Fair Of 1861, and
as Gambetta knew when he inspired similar
display before the war echoes Of 1871 had fair

MAYOR GR1NTs APPOINTMENTS.

The MAYORS selections for the important Of
fees which he filled yesterday will prove no
surprise and excite no indignation. They are
appointments Of just the sort that might be
expected When a majority of the citizens who
were not too languid, idle or Indifferent to go
10 the polls last November expressed their pref
erence for another term for Hugh j. Grant, they
gave the stamp of approval to his policy in his
first term and practically invited him to go
further and do worse in his second. 1t would
be waste of time to point out the specific obJec-
tions TO this batch of ofiice-illers, or to dwell
upon the epellent features in the careers OF
some of these men. The great mass OF the
wielders of the suffrage in this metropolis is
80 apathetic. that none of these things will have
anv effect at this time. No one can pretend that
the Mayor in these selections had the slightest
regard for the interests of the community. If he
had had any such thought, he would have reap
pointed Michael Coleman as President OF the Tax
Department. OF course, his sold intention was to
reward bis personal friends and to strengthen
Tammany Hall at the same time. That Is his
conception of his duty as Mayor and OF his ob-
legations to the voters who put him in ofilce ana
have kept him there.
The only consolation for the exacting citizen
who would like TO see the city government IN
the hands of those who would devote their
ability to the service of the whole people, IN
stead of the service of faction, is the old and
unsatisfactory suggestion that the Mayor might
have done worse. There is reason to fear that
he NAV do far worse. For long time he has
resisted the pressure brought upon him to ap-
noint John J. Scannel a Fire Commissioners
But the politicians now say that Mr.. Croker
will no longer be denied and that Scannell will
soon defile the Fire Commission. Scannell Is
one of the most cowardly and contemplate OF
murderers He stole upon his unsuspectlng
victim from behind and shot him in the back
of the head Since then he has been busy III
the dirtiest political work that even Tammany
can exact from her followers. But the
assassin's brand on the brow appears to be
a mark of honor with the most powerful element
now conspicuous in the ruling Democratic fac
ton. Exactly why the commission OF most
brutal, revolving and dastardly ASSASSINATION
should entitle a murderer to place in the Fire
Commission is not clear to the average intellect
but Mr. Purroy, Mr.. Croker and other Iammany
leaders seem to think that it should. Does the
Mayor suppose that the appointment OF Scan
nell will help him on his way to the Governor
chair at Albany?

railways brings out strong point in favor OF

Large financial obligations have been incurred

The offering of prizes for good work by en-
ployes of the Postofice Department will prove
stimulating all along the line, and the public will
reap the benefit. The prizes SO far have been con-
fined to the Railway Mail Service. number of
gold medals were first offered by the Postmaster.
General to those clerks who made the best record
Then General Superintendent White proposed a
medal as a reward of merit. More recently still
Mr. Jackson, superintendent of the second division
of this branch of the postal business, announced
that he would give gold medal to that clerk who
in each of the five classes passed the best eXamina
ton. Naturally the competition for such prizes is
brisk, and the effect upon the service as u whole
will be good. The railway mail clerks are hard
worked and none too well paid. No one will
grudge them the satisfaction of working for a
medal to be won by honest and generous rivalry.

The queen of the May, in fact several queens
of that bewitching month, were to be seen in
Central Park yesterday. They and their many
admirers rendered that lovely breathing ground
which is looking its best just now-lovelier
than ever. They danced about gay and festive
coles, and convinced all who gazed upon them
that the hold Of May upon the heart of the
young is as strong as it was when the world
was younger and perhaps more given to ro-
nance. The JOY which was so unconfined about
some of the poles not unlikely meant more than
affoctionate appreciation OF May. 1t meant
intense satisfaction at the thought that moving
from the home that was to the home that is
had been safely accomplished.

The exercises were rendered additionally at
