4 BOSS ON THE BENCH.

A correspondent of "The New-York Sum-
who signs himself "a Democrat comments in
severe terms upon the part which ID. Cady
Herrick has been playing in the matter Of the
appointment of election inspect rs for Albany.
Here is the gist CT his letter.
II I understand the case. the Hon. d. Cadv Her
rick Is a member OF the Democratic State Committee
and boss Of the Herrck machine In Albany. He Is
also @ Justice OF the supreme Court By law there IS
a Board OF Election Commissioners for the city Of
Albany. A majority Of ills board appointed the
election inspectors for the coming charter election.
The minority, In violation Of law have different
set Of inspectors sworn into Office. The minority Of
the Board consists Of Mayor Manning, who represents
Boss and Judge d. Csdy Herrick, so virtually Her
rick Is the minority Of the board. IIerrck Judge
sits In Judgment 10 the legality of his own creations
Boss. Then he sends the case TO the General
Term which does not SIT until after election. and Of
which he Is also member TO review his own acts as
Boss.
Ever since Mr.. IIerrick was elevated to the
bench there has been an emphatic demand on
the part of his fcllow-citzcns who have an APP
probation of the obvious prophecies that he
should resign from the Democratic Commit
tee and should allow some other person to play
the part of Democratic boss in Albany County.
But Mr. Herrick evidently does not care a
straw for public opinion He continues to be
not only Judge IIerrick, but State Committee
man IIerrck and Boss lIerrick lie must be
aware, as a person OF intelligence and expert
ence, that 50 long as he continues to run with
a political machine and espouse the cause of 4
faction in lis fierce war against a rival, he is
seriously impairing his usefulness as a Judge,
is degrading the bench, is soiling the crminc.
Mr.. Henick's participation in the contest -
which tho correspondent Of "The Sum re-
fers serves to bring out in strong colors the
disgraceful nature of his dual career a. jurist
and boss. We venture nothing in affirming
that no ether Supreme Court Judge ever occu-
pied such an anomalous position IIericI
passed upon question in which he MAS direct
ly and vitality intercsted-a question involving

THE PRESIDENT KNOBS BEST


Though an opponent, TIE TRIBUNE must
urge that President Cleveland be treated with
deccncy. Here arc his rartisans up in arms
because he has decided not 10 select for office
except in rare cases, any of the hundred thou
sand Democrats or more who formerly held
Office under him. A very few, who proved
themselves exceptionally capable and well
qualified he may be persuaded to appoint, but
for the rest the notice is mp, "No Cleveland
Office holders need apply" Thcrcat his party
RACES.
But why? Docs not President Cleveland
know best who were fit for Office among his
former appointces? He was certainly preju-
diced in their favor, and anxious, for his own
reputation to think well of their work. No
Democrat will doubt that he Is strongly de-
siious of making his Administration success
Not one Of his party should blame him il he
does not want to appoint men who have been
tried and found wanting. That would be en-
tircy contrary to tho principles Of Civil Ser
vice Reform. His party is bound to believe
that the President, in declining 10 appoint the
same men again is governed by an ample
knowledge of their qualifications, or want Of
qualifications, and by sincere desire to secure
good men for public office.
His own judgment of the men who held office
under him. though possibly little more sweep
ing than a far-mindcd opponent might have
formed, essentially agrees with impartial public
opinion 1t was not the public impression that
in his first term President Cleveland was fortu-
natc in his selections. A great many serious
mistakes were pointed out when he was only
| 1 A.. Il fn.
TRIEUN NJ was ready to hold his incxpcrencc
responsible or the misreprC sensations of greedy
or INSCRIPTIONS political friends. But it was
even worse for the public interest that many
more of his appointces, though MT men Of
notorious character nor conspicuously disquali
fed were persons of very ordinary capacity
and merit in every respect except as partisan
workers
1t was the public Judgment too. during the
later years OF his first term Of office, that the
i'll success of his Administration, which helped
10 his defeat, was largely due to the defective
condition of the Government service through
the officials and agents he had thus been led
TO choose. Not very many of them made them
,clves notorious by fragrant misconduct, but the
general character Of the service was not such
as to make the people enthusiastically desire
his reelection. No doubt he realizes that tho
voters hoped, after an interval of four years, he
might make wiser selections, being set free by
that intenegnum from any obligation to re-
appoint the men who had held Office under him
At all events the public service was not then
80 efficient nor so economical as it has been
since and 1t is 10 his credit if he has been in
fexbly determined - find better men this
time.
His political supporters have no right to find
fault lie is trying to do the best he can for
himself and for them. 1t would not help his
party much il his officials during the second

What is the matter with the bill which has
been pending in the Legislature at Albany Tor

cation? Does the Democratic majority pnr-
nose 10 kill il? The Democratic Supcrntcnd-
cnt of Public instruction has declared. ana

nca.ure of some sort The teachers

Controller Myers sent to the Rapid TRANSIT
Commissioners yesterday Wholesome and com
rrehcnsiye letter in reference to the amount
of compensation to be paid by the elevated
roads for the extensions which it is proposed
to build. 1t is evident that Mr.. Myers has
studied this subject with care and either OF
the plans which he suggested would accom-
plish the result in view. Other things beng
equal, the simplest plan would be the best.
Not unexpectedly, however, the elevated people
object to paying single cent. contending that
while the extensions would cost them SS,O0O,-
600 TO Sl0,OOO,OO0. they would simply IN
crease the comfort of passengers without add
ing anything to the company receipts If the
company were paving literally, or even fairly
FIR the privileges it now enjoys, its argument
would carry greater weight.

Uoratius Prometheus Jenkins has succeeded
in arranging a compromise as the result OF his
visit to Albany, and according to the decision
reached Yesterday his term will be four years
instead of two. Still, the bill hasn't been passed
vet, and it never ought to be passed. The
public welfare demands that DR.. Jenkinss lease
of Office be cut of short but in the present
condition of politics at Albany and in this city
tho public welfare is the last thing considered.
The opinion of the members OF the New
York Board of Education on the question OF
the desrability of placing women ON such
boards is of value because of their own eX-
perience in the matter. There is bill before
the Legislature providing that one-fcdrth OF
the members of all boards of education in the
State shall be women. While those present at
Yesterdays meeting did not approve this bill
unreservedly, it is significant that the majority
nut themselves on record as favoring women

GENES q law or not, Mayor Gilroy should bear
this fact in mind when called on to fill va
cancics in the Board of Education.
Some Southern and Western Democrats seem
inclined to find fault with the disposition Of
Cabinet and other offices thus far made by
Mr.. Cleveland, and are asking whether he has
forgotten what part of the country furnished
the votes which elected him. What especially
cxcites their grief is the fact that Massachu-
sets, In addition to Cabinet place, has al
ready secured the First Assistant Secretaryship
Of State and the London complementary.
