THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM.

Those members Of the Constitutional Conven
ton who are grieving more or less sincerely at
what they term the intrusion OF politics upon It's
deliberations ought to find relief In advancing Il
proposed amendment which IL designed TO lift
n great branch Of the public service above the
influence of political considerations The argu-
mcn,s In favor VI the proposition to transfer
from the Legislature 10 the Board Of Regents
Of the University the appointment Of tho Super
intendcnt OF Public instruction did not quite
convince the committee to which II was referred
BY majority OF one an adverse report was
submitted TO the Convention. but there is reason
to hope that the intrinsic merits Of the amend
mcnt will overcome this disadvantage. Its OK
ceent purpose Is undspnted even by those who
hitherto have felt constrained 10 oppose II. so
that no additional proof Of the sincerity Of its
advocates Is required.
The objections alleged against the change are,

teal. and the arguments in support Of the pres
cnt system negative rather than positive Admit

of educational interests In this State. those who
are against the amendment must believe that It
would not remove them: but we cannot think
that they have made their case clear and there
is no evidence that they are winning intelligent
public opinion 10 their side. There seems, on
the contrary. TO be Il rather extraordinary una

After six DAYS OF more or less tribulation the
Constitutional Convention has found it's mind on
the subject of the city article which was re-
norted from the Committee Of the Whole last
night The first section. which provides for the
separation Of municipal from state ana National
elections was detached from the rest or the
article and will be reported as separate amend
ment to the Constitution. The Democratic OPP
position was neither unanimous nor effective.
This action will insure a more careful and thor
ough study of this vexatious problem than was
otherwise likely TO have been had.
What strange maggots must be burrowlng in
the minds Of those men who are thinking OF
n pardon for John Y. McKanc: and what
sorry tribute they pay to Governor Flower 10y

even for moment. The feeling which revolted
at the scoundrelism and criminallty OF the tyrant
of Gravcsend and demanded reribution was not
q passing spasm Of civic virtue. much as the
personal and political friends Of McKanc would
like TO think terrible and enduring ear
nestness WAS back of the movement that effected
his conviction, and it is comforting to learn that
a pardon would only be preface to a new
prosecution.
