ease by a determined application of all tho
powers vested in them. that fact cannot long
be obscured. There is authority enough, ana
law enough. and money enough to make New
York thoroughly comfortable and secure and
il those now in charge lack wisdom and skill
there is an ample supply to draw upon. we
shall soon know how much the Mayor means.
1t is true that the authorities are entitled 10
the cooperation of intelligent citizens in the
task of keeping NewYork clean. The com
munity cannot dcvolve the whole responsibility
upon the officials of the municipality. The
sense of individual obligation for the common
welfare has always been weak here, As IN most
American cities. 1t needs to be stimulated
Enforcement OF the ordinances is one way 10
stimulate it. but there never was better Tune
for a manifestation OF the spirit which does
not need to be coerced. which voluntarily con
tributes to the good of all. 1t is the duty OF
every citizen to cultivate this spirit in himself
and. BY influence and example, in others. thus
acouitting himself of blame for evil conditions
if they are prolonged. and earning his share OF
credit if they are removed.

SHALL An ACADEMY have UNITERSITY
POWERS.

A non-potical bill has passed the LegiS-
lature and is now awaiting the action of Gov
ernor Flower, which clearly ought not to be-
come a law 1t gives lIarwick Seminary, an
Otsego County institution, the power either
directly or by its standing committee to confer
honorary degrees in theology on It's own
graduates, and to exercise the prorogaives of
university by comforting honorary degrees in
theology on such other persons as the board or
standing committee Judge fit" \ CONNIE ndablc
disposition has been manifested Of late years by
those in educational authority 10 raise the
standard of scholastic degrees. II had come
to pass that degree meant nothing that IT
was in the nature of distinction for man
not TO have one. The result was the formation
and rapid growth of public sentiment amcng
educated men which demanded either that the
custom of comforting dcgie should be abolished
or that it should be continued under con-
ditions which would make degree recogni-
ton of attainmcnts.
Now the bill in ltfs'lul ought To encounter
the Governors yeto since il means the lower
ing of the standard Of the degree of ID. d. Ii
is obvious that university powers cannot wisely
be ntrusted 10 an academy. Therefore Hart
wick Seminary enjoys a good reputation
among educational institutions of its class
ought not to ask for them, and cannot present
valid reason for so doing. The University
law, so called, which was passed last year. re-
fleets the views OF the friends of higher educa
ton throughout the State, and it is distinctly
opposed to what this bill proposes to accom-
plish-thc cheapenng oiS:hc degree. Is that
law to be made of no effect, so far as this
matter is concerned, in order TO please a
seminary which reports only three students
above academic grade all of whom are fresh
men? If small academies, however worthy. are
to be allowed to confer degrees. where shall
the line be drawn? II IIartwck is given her
ambitious way. is not the day coming when
high schools will he making the same demand.
and enterprising drygoods emporiums will dis
play degrees on their bargain counters?
Governor Flower has shown himself alive to
whatever relates to the educational welfare of
New-York. 1t Is to be assumed, therefore that

THE MAYORS PROCLAMATION

MAYOR Gilroy has formally instructed vari-
Gus municipal departments TO be active and
vigant in defence Of the public health. His
proclamation is emphatic and sensible, and il
all the measures of protection which it enioins
are put into execution the sanitary condition
of the city will rapidly become safe and salts
factory. 1t is unfortunate. however. for their
peace of mind that citizens OF New ork are
nerfectly accustomed not only to the prcmulga-
tion of excellent sentiments and directions by
their chief magistrates, but also to persistent
and unpublished neglect of them. There has
been no lack, since Tammany came into power,
of professions and promises which sounded
well, had all the appearance OF sincerity, and
meant nothing at all, so far as anybody who
waited for results could discover. Our Street
Cleaning Commissioners have all received with
their appointments the most urgent orders to
do their duty, and have responded with equally
solemn assurances of fidelity. The Mayors
latest declaration apparently differs IN no ma
terial respect from numerous others uttered by
himself and his predecessors. 1t is timely,
vigorous and well expressed. How much does
it mean?
The answer to this natural inquiry will inevi-
tably be made to the satisfaction or discomfort
of the whole community in the course of the
next few weeks. 1t cannot possibly be re-
fused or confused IF Commissioner Brennan,
Just returned from recruiting trip, has been
made to understand that the Mayor means what
he says the fact of his enlightenment must
speedily become apparent If the Mayor
representing the absolute rulers of this town,
has made the departments of Police, Public
Works and Health aware that Tammany in

Some interesting disclosures regarding the
Democratic method of raising a big campaign
fund in this State will be found to-day in
letter from our Albany correspondent. The
method of procedure is to force large corpora
tons to contribute to the fund by threatening
them with hostile legislation or legislative in
vestigations. case in point is the bill, which
has passed the Assembly, compelling the Della
ware and Hudson Railroad to reduce its fares
from 3 to 2 cents mile. An investigation of
the insurance companies is contemplated, with
the object, of course of inducing them to
"come down" handsomely. How long will the
people of the State submit to such scandalous
procet dings?
A characteristic piece of Democratic trckery
has come to light in Kingston. The Republi-
cans now control the Board of Supervisors of
Ulster County, but their advelsaries have cooked
up plan of providing three more Super
visors for the city of Kingston, to be elected
at large. AS the city is usually Democratic,
they hope in this way to win back control of
the Board A bill furthering this scheme is
before the Legislature, and will probably be-
come a law. 1t is part and parcel Of the
partisan legislation which has abounded at this
of 1893 lasting infamy.
Finer weather for Easter than the people OF
New-YOrk enjoyed yesterday could not reason
ably have been asked for by the most fastidOus.
The air was wee bit too cool, perhaps, and
on account Of the well-knOwn condition of the
streets there was considerable dust in crcua-
ton but still the bright sunlight and a cloud
lees sky of peculiarly rich and satisfying
blue made it delight TO be out of doors, as
tens of thousands learned by their own expert
enoe. Easter and spring do not always go
bend in hand, but the season which opens the
way for summer has certainly made good start
already this year.
The loyal Methodists of NewYork, Brook
lyu and the region round about will be pro-
foundly interested this week in the meetings
of tho New-York New York East and Newark
annual conferences. Neither of the New-Y York
conferences will be held in or close to the city,
but the body bearing the name of Newark,
which covers the northern part of New-Jersey
and a slice of this State, will have its meeting
in Jersey City. The New-York Conference will
convene in North Tarrytown, and the New
York East as far away as Danbury, Conn.
Nothing of startling character is looked for
in the proceedings of either of the gatherings,
hut the routine business will be OF moment to
the assembled ministers and to the members
Of The Methodist Church. Under the present
