The Imnn,lent Scott.

A more remarkable specimen OF impudence
than that presented by Great SCoTT, in
abusing the Republicans because they in
sisted on having a candidate OF their own
party for Mayor, we are unable to recall.
When he wanted to be Mayor himself he
got the Republicans to nominate him,
though he was nominally Democrat and
Of course he led them to defeat. Now he
has the cheek to assail them because after
such an experience they refuse to go through
1t again.
Democrats will not vote for Republican
for Mayor, says SCoTT Undoubtedly they
will not; but neither will they vote for a
Democratic traitor who takes Repu jlican
nomination, as was proved very emphati-
cally in the brazen SCoTT's own case.
Col. STRONG will probably be beaten but
the Republicans will get more votes with
him as candidate than they would have
got by giving their nomination to Demo
crat of the SCoTT breed

Secretary LAMONT is going through an en-
perience just now, like that OF his predecessors.
In carrying out his policy OF giving up some OF
the smaller posts No fewer than nine Of these
were marked Tor abandonment under his late
general order. and protests have been pouring
in against this step, while in one case we OBJ
serve that report OF Indian hostilities was
started, ending with the statement that the
order to abandon Fort supply increased the
gravity Of the crisis. The alleged alarm, how
ever. evaporated swiftly, and perhaps might
have been more effective had not a similar CO.
incidence been familiar previous occasions OF
removing the garrisons from small posts.
Settlements that draw pleasure and profit
from the presence OF fort full OF Uncle SANS
boys In blue are not 20 blame for lamenting their
departure, but the policy Of concentration is the
right one. Secretary LAMONT is carrying II out
with unusual yigor. but better system and or
ganization, with greater efficiency, will result.
The troops will probably be more comfortable
Gnd happier In their larger forts, with more
comrades and more commodiOus surroundings;
they can he drilled to better advantage; the
uniting OF scattered regiments, accomplished in
several instances, is a clear benefit; supplies can
be taken TO them at less cost. As for the pro-
lection OF the people against turbulent red
Indians or other mischief makers, the railways
can quickly take plenty Of troops from the gar
risoned posts In any direction required.

A Revelation of Character.

The main reason why Judge GAYNoR is
not the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor has been made clear to everybody by
the Judges letters and dispatches during
the past ten days. Rarely has reputation
fallen from the ideal to the real with such
celebrity; and this Is due to the activity Of
Judge GAYNoR's own pen.
Mr.. EDWARD NJ SHEPARD and other lead
ing anti-machine Democrats in Kings county
must have understood the peculiarities Of
Judge GAYNoR's mental constitution much
better than the Democratic party outside OF
Kings, or the public generally. But the
revelation Of character has not come from
the Judges associates in Brooklyn politics.
1t will be great misfortune II Judge
GAYNoR's recent performances with his pen
ihall prove to have impaired his usefulness

The Worlds Exposition at Antwerp has
been closed a month before the end OF the half
year for which 1t was to be kept open. Some OF
the causes for Its failure we're that IL third
class affair, that It was poorly managed. that
the place OF II was thlrd-rate city, and that Il
was held in an unusually duh year. The greater
part Of the Belgians who visited II were hard up
for money, and It did not attract the multitude
OF foreign visitors that had been expected. The
American building erected by the American
Propaganda" and the American exhibit that 1t
contained, were very unworthy OF the country.
The attempt made q half year ago TO secure a
good show Of American machinery was unsuc-
cessful, and American visitors to It were few
and far between. The best day OF the EXPOSE
ton was the day OF its opening In May last.

Women In the Campaign.

We are glad to hear that there is to be an
organized movement to arouse the women
of New York 70 interest in the coming
municipal campaign. The failure Of the
woman suffrage amendment in the Consti-
tutional Convention has delayed their adj
mission to political equality with men; but
as it is likely that they will be charged with
the duty OF voting at some time In the fu-
ture, whatever contributes directly to their
political education Is desirable for them and
for the State
Il is true that the particular movement at
the head of which Mrs JOSEPHINE SHAW
LOWELL has put herself, is directed against
the Democratic party; but for that reason
the political training II will afford will be
none the less valuable TO the women engaged
in IT, Many of the most profitable lessons
