Personal Manners and Political Train
Ing.

What are the facts in regard TO the OBJ
jections to Mr.. MURPHY as candidate for
Senator offered by the Mugwumps and
anti-Democrats The only suggestion in
regard to the Senatorship made by The Sun
has been that Lieutenant-Governor SHEE-
HAN would be first-rate person to succeed
Senator H1sCoCK. But, as Mr.. MURPHY is
in the forefront Of criticism as posi-
bllity. we entreat his opponents not to de-
lude themselves in regard to the realities
of his qualifications. viewed from their es-
tablished point OF observation.
Mr.. MURPHY is said to be below the re-
quired standard in so far as it affects a
man as visible member of society. Also.
for instance. our contemporary. the Buff
faio Courier thinks he is " not we'll equipped
for the duties Of the Office.
Mr.. MANNING. who was put into the great
Office Of Secretary OF tho Treasury in Mir.
CLEvELAND's Cabinet from the Chairman
ship OF the New York State Democratic
Committee. now held by Mr. MURPHY. and
Mr.. WHITNEY, who passed to the portfolio
OF the Navy from tho Office Of Corporation
Counsel of New York city. are not the
only cases OF extraordinary promotion TO
for justification of their ambition. Why
may we ask our friend the Courier. is not
Mr.. MURPHY equipped for the Senatorship,
after having been elected. and overwheim-
ingly reelected. Mayor Of Troy, when the
Hon. GROVER CLEVELAND was elected Gov
ernor Of New York and put in the line Of
Presidential succession on the strength Of
his services as Mayor OF Buffalo?
Those specially dissatisfied over Mr..
MURPHYs personality have much less to
stand upon than those who find his political
training insufficient. Except in very gross
cases. the manners OF a statesman are not
particularly interesting or pertinent to his
deserts: and We speak OF manners now
only by way OF reply to the unbalanced
conception OF various excited Mugwumps.
But. as a matter Of fact. Mr.. MURrHY's
presence exhibits style which many Of
his self-consttuted opponents might well
study to initiate. 1t will interest those how
incliued TO misrepresent, or subject to mis-
information. to know that il the young. mon
OF the day should cultivate the dignity of
bearing and the habit of gracious courtesy
to his fellow citizens which peculiarly dis
tingush Mr.. MURPHY. the average man OF
the next generation would be Il far moro
finished gentleman than he promises TO h"
at present.
Let our Mugwump friends possess their
souls in patience and be thankful for for
tunes kindness to thcm.

OF Holland Patent, the present incumbent
TIE Office OF Dairy Commissioner WAS cs-
taDlished by an act Of the Legislature
passed on April "a. 1894. while Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND WAS Governor. Immediately after
the act took effect Mr.. JOSIAH X. Blows
was appointed to the new post. 1t is al
instructive lesson in the economy of poll
tics to observe how this gentleman has
steadily magnilied his Office throughout
the eight years that have elapsed since lie
originally entered upon his duties. and to
note with what success he has induced tho
Legislature 10 enlarge the appropriation OF
money which goes to pay him and his
numerous agents throughout the State
The beginning was comparatively mod
crate. The act Of April "a, 1854. provided
that the Dairy Commissioner himself should
receive salary OF $4,000 per aInum. and
that he might employ IL clerk at an annual
salary which should not exceed 81. 200. He
was also authorized to appoint such as
sistant commissioners and to employ such
experts. chemists. agents. and counsel as
no might deem necessary for tho proper
enforcement OF the law to prevent dccep-
ton in the sales OF dairy products. The
sum of $4,000 was appropriated for the
purposes indicated. and tho statute pro-
vided that the entire expenses of the Dairy
Commissioner should not exceed that sum.
In 1892 the regular appropriation for the
Dairy Commissioner has become sos 900,
not including $1,000 appropriated by the last
Legislature for the employment of acidi-
tional experts In his department
Here Is table showing the regular appro-
priation for tho Dairy Commissioner in
each year since that office was established.

stunted trees and shrubs, a long, stray
Cling line of low. rickety dwellings
this is the "Cite Maupy," a famous col
ony of ragpickers. They have been
their own architects and builders, and
the novels are curiosities; they have
utilized paving stones, the sheet iron
signs of insurance companies, and even
sardine cans: but there is a picturesque
quality to these humble dwellings, and
they surely do not lack color and neither
do the inhabitants; there is a real count
